"because it does preloading directly in javascript, it can't possibly follow the HTTP semantic of not actually applying cookies until later when the cached route is used" I may be wrong, but I don't think using JavaScrip

I initially interpreted "unaccounted-for null values may cause compile-time warnings, but not compile-time errors" as meaning "in some cases, an unaccounted-for null value might not cause a compile-time error", but in

"Soft deletion isn’t a blanket rule" That's right, I think it's really "soft deletion as a blanket rule" which is the anti-pattern; soft-deletion is one option which (IMO) is used too often without thinking abo

I don't think there's an explicit reference in the JavaScript spec to numbers being treated this way, because this is how all variables are treated in JavaScript - the relevant part of the specification is probably the definition

The paper linked to in the Criticism section of the article [1] is well with reading, IMO. It points out that AOP only works when there is "obliviousness of application", i.e the code to which the aspect is applied doesn't ne

It's an API for a specific hypermedia client, i.e, a web browser. It's not obvious that it's the best hypermedia API for a different client, for example, a JavaScript application that happens to be running in a web browser.

When people write "why yet another", they usually mean "why this one specifically". And that's the case here, where the author lists what they think are the weaknesses of the state of the art, and explains why they

If your code is sufficiently distinct that block scope is useful, and there's no obvious contextual clue as to why it's distinct (like an if statement), put it in a separate function to explain why it's distinct. The article

The post gives an example - overloading a method based on the type parameter (e.g separate overloads for Option<Integer> and Option<Double>). This is why Java's generic erasure is more of a problem than Haskell's type

The Spring code isn't restricted to strings, it will accept any type. So you don't need to find unsafe string serialisation to get an RCE; what you need is some type which is unsafe when deserializing the output of its own seriali

I don't think there's any vulnerability in your repo as it is. It's not deserializing attacker controlled data, it's deserializing a string which was serialised by the application. There could be a vulnerability if, inst

I agree there's not much point using this kind of simple builder if you have named function parameters, but the GoF builder pattern has a couple of additional features which can still be useful. In the GoF examples the construction pro

Constructor inject is generally a positive here, though, as the compiler will tell you where you need to add the new dependency. If you find that you have to add the dependency in lots of places just to satisfy the compiler, not because the
