I was genuinely surprised your comment doesn't end with an "/s", but anyway, I'd be interested to hear the rationale of users who pay for "smart people thoughts".

Most government tenders for a contract are available online, I'm from Australia so not entirely sure what I'm looking at but this[1] appears to be some sort of reference to the tender, although there is limited information provide

Ever since xmlhttprequest (and even before that with images) we've been able to do server-side validation without a full page reload. This "solution" completely ignores the purpose of client-side validation which is to a) red

imo, "modern" would mean it removes or replaces features and characteristics which were exclusive to or popular in a previous time period but are not essential or can be replaced with "modern" alternatives.

I think there is some difficulty specific to Shopify here, as REST APIs go their original one was fairly sane and provided powerful features. When their GraphQL API was released its data structures were similar but not identical to the RE

Completely forgot in the other comment but your product would be subject to GST, which is a tax. I can't imagine Google paying GST %s on their Australian ad sales, but it's a starting point.

What if you as a European (company) employ 1000 Australians in Australia and have Australia specific resources (including sales) in Australia and use those Australian resources exclusively for Australia.. are you still not operating in Aust

Well done, it's a neat idea and if the service can provide a measurable improvement I think it's worthwhile to pursue further. Seeing the service in action would really help both technical and non-technical audiences, I need to kn

Painfully ironic that the static landing page for a service offering to improve website performance (by adding more technology) scores a miserable 66% on mobile and 90% on desktop with Google's PageSpeed Insights[0]. I honestly didn&#x

IME, using a single package.json is a harmful and naive practice, in abstract it results in a single product version and leads to poor separation between the client(s) and server(s) codebases. It falls apart especially quickly when adding

And even more simply, verifying the user is a "real person" in contrast to verifying the user is the "right person".

This was a problem before Twitter allowed 2FA via SMS, so I'd argue this is very much a Twitter problem. Afaict this all stems from mixing verification with authentication, where verification may be required when creating an account an

This logic would require them to re-scrape every video forever, which is unreasonable. I think a better approach for everyone involved would be to only store references to videos which were posted more than x minutes ago. I'm not sure

Unexpected or undesired behaviours are relative to who's expectations and desires are being considered while bugs are (or at least should be) universally recognisable as bugs.

I used this service a while ago, when I saw the host of podcast I follow was available as a "cameo", my request for the video was a in-joke from the podcast, I was sent the video a couple days later, I watched it, laughed and wait

It's finding value in those tools which the agency (and most others, mine included) would be claiming to be capable of and I think to a reasonable extent they've proven that, even with a somewhat underwhelming result.

There are a lot of gotcha's when rolling your own web server based on the http and https packages and I think the conclusion of the article could have gone further in addressing what they are and in what context they might matter. I

I've just released a small product using CockroachDB, in retrospect it was probably my favourite technical decision. Previously I'd used it as a toy and tested deployment strats but was skeptical (new tech and all that), but now

_side note:_ the way the header navigation of the linked site comes back into view on scroll-up is much more pleasant than the typical "jump down" effect. Still think the need for the header on scroll up is a bit absurd but hey, t

Not true in modern architectures, that situation only applies to more traditional file & api server combo's. If you statically serve your site with a service like s3 and have a backend running on lambda or ec2 - the attacker cannot
