> Again your comment is oddly dismissive. Evidence is showing that Ivermectin appears to be an effective treatment. Disagree. The evidence is so weak that the creator of the drug, Merck, says it's not even worth investigating.

The current evidence against Ivermectin is pretty overwhelming, just look at the Wikipedia article. Merck, the maker of the drug came out months ago saying its not useful against COVID. It's an old anti-parasitic drug with an unknown m

Since people are mentioning current examples, putting message queues everywhere is a terrible modern pattern. Looks great on the surface. Ride through transient failures. Easier load balancing. Even out load spikes. But underneath, you'

Haha you reminded me of AOP nightmares. It's great used for instrumentation. A big part of why Java has great monitoring tools is runtime code modification with AOP. But as you said, devs find all kinds of mind melting creative ways of

While I appreciate the drive to find more effective agents to treating COVID, we don't have anything approved and widely available that's more than mildly effective. So get vaccinated. I see Facebook anti-vax campaigns latch onto

That was a bit edgey, but I have seen far too many devs recreate OIDC using JWT. Writing their own token parsing and validation. Doing their own token expiration handling. These days, just use OIDC. It takes care of everything for you. Most

If you go far enough back all of our technology arises from fire and the wheel. There's plenty of room to debate how much of our technology came from the military, but I don't think naming is a big deal. Take the word "screen

Eh, disagree. For space, you can use ellipic curve instead of RSA to halve the size of your token. Sticky sessions are really hard or impossible on public clouds where you can't load balance by ip/port hash. And still hard when yo

Disagree. Releasing unverified slog about your opponent days before an election when there's no time to find out if the claims are even true is the definition of a smear campaign.
