There is definitely some smoke and mirrors to this. I watched a stationary train next to me get about a kilometre away before it started moving in real life.

You are wrong that increasing projects have no cost; many services have project based costs (Cloud Armour rules cannot be used cross project at the base tier), many services (mostly observeability) degrade significantly cross project, the G

This is how to do it.I also round the edges of the cutout. Also, there is an extension for freecad to make non rectangular (e.g. "p") shaped bins. Most satisfying, least productive things I've done this year!

Nice! I've been using GOVUK stuff for my own purposes for a good-long while now, this should speed up the process. I'll try to plug your thing into Json Forms [1], then I'll be back to the good old days. [1] https:/&#x2

Hey Matt, Super cool to see this, and congrats on 1.0! One question, has the GDS stance on Javascript softened, namely progressive enhancement being essentially mandatory [1], since I last worked with you? Is the target for more controlled

On the best practices, as noted by others, there are probably classes in your standard lib/ commons lib that cover this stuff better than storing in integers (e.g. BigDecimal in Java and Python Decimal have precision and rounding mode

I have also banned "random", replacing with "intermittent", in the past.

Yes, especially around Looker. It's so strange/non-cloud. The 0-users 0-usage price is $5,000 per month.

Not only that, the sums involved and siting (relatively unprotected) are going to be very attractive to theft, driving up the cost to secure.

I had similar issues with a different VPN/Proxy at an earlier role. I solved with https://github.com/sakai135/wsl-vpnkit and trusting the root certificate of the proxy on the rancher desktop WSL2 vm (Assuming you&

A slightly different beginner lacto ferment is turnip + beetroot "pickle". 9 parts turnips, 1 part beetroot, 2% salt of combined turnip + beetroot + water, all by weight. Super tasty, not spicy, can be done in 5 days, fermentation

I wonder if adding River Thames crossings will improve things. That's a major component of the tube map.

I don't view that as a loss. JSON by itself is just a string with no context information so either the context is in the programmer's head, in a human-readable document, or in a schema file. Adding a schema to it seems natural to

You've hit the nail on the head about my reservations. Regarding your recommendation, were there any libraries that exist already? Otherwise, I assume that you mean: 1) write some code to derive a CRUD/RPC OpenApiV3 Spec from some

> but you definitely have to work within the constraints of the system. If you try to push the boundary too much on what's "expected" it becomes painful very quickly Hah, that's the problem with every framework!

Thanks for the great comment! > SDLC is a frequent pain point. I've dealt with that pain before with other tools (promoting DataDog montiors + dashboards comes to mind). This area seems like it'll be even more painful so I&#x27

That does seem like a neat solution. Does it support user-tasks in workflows (i.e. block until someone clicks a button)?

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah, I'm not a fan of the SSO tax (though I respect that they've got to eat). Agreed on the all in one docker solution, it seems like a choice made to get things off the ground, not one predispos

Great, thanks for responding! I'll be taking a serious look. I completely understand the motivation behind Appsmith, it's kind of exactly why I'm evaluating tools like these. Out of interest, what proportion of your creators

Thanks! I'll take a look, I'm much happier in Python than JS so a big plus for me.

Typically, a block (made by the methods outlined elsewhere ITT) will give you 3-4 flushes before it's spent. I can only assume these blocks are similar. Not defence of the product, definitely not for me, removes the fun part of mushroo

Hah, that's a case where Windows wins out. Win + . is a great little utility ♥

Yes, I do exactly the same with a contrived example in a take-home coding assessment (with some failing test cases to not waste their time). Always seems to be a good indicator, especially of their ability to communicate technical concepts.

Exactly the point I was going to make. It's also relatively trivial to generate view statents from the schema of the object if required for analytics (not fast though). Much better than a crazy ORM rat nest in my experience.

If you're looking for concrete resources with steps on how to perform threat modelling, I've used the Microsoft SDL Threat Modelling tool/process [1]. It's pretty Microsoft skewed (lots of references to Azure resources),
