Frameworks aren't just human-serving abstractions - they're structural abstractions that allow for performant code, or even being able to achieve certain behaviours. Sure, you could write a frontend without something like react, a

Mirroring what many others have said, Azure is often broken and generally frustrating to use. Performance is also often _quite bad_ and there will be frustrating network limitations based on seemingly unrelated configurations. For example,

You mean `.await`, I assume?

Many will disagree with me, but the Vancouver Olympics prompted construction of some things that I would consider vital to the Sea to Sky region - the highway upgrade being the biggest.

I had high hopes that SimpleTax would have been bought by the CRA, but sadly now it's been absorbed by Wealthsimple instead. Still worth using though and is pretty straightforward and easy to use.

Tide is fantastic and has IMO the best ergonomics (and could be improved to be even better), except it's essentially abandonware at this point. I'd love to see it continue and thrive, but there's many PR's that have been

Agreed - honeycomb has been a boon, however some improvements to metric displays and the ability to set the default "board" used in the home page would be very welcome. Also would be pretty happy if there was a way to drop events

Still early days, but we've been using CBOR instead of JSON lately at work for interfaces that have "settled" and it's been great. Means that you can shake out the early integration issues using human readable JSON, then

Check out Qutebrowser. It's almost entirely usable from the keyboard only using vimlike bindings. Lags behind chromium/qt a bit for the actual engine, but these days it's totally usable and has become my daily driver.

Forgetting that BC exists entirely. If you search "Kei" on Craigslist Vancouver, there's currently 37 postings, and they're constantly being imported here. I see them in Washington as well, although those may be Canadian

In the PNW these are absolutely everywhere and for good reason - they're exactly what most people need when they need a truck bed for hauling capacity. Plus, many are 4/AWD and have relatively high clearance so they're great

Including secrets in the compiled binary seems questionable still - using env variables or a config is the "standard" way for secrets, and although it adds another step before you can run, it avoids the case of sharing your binary

Freestanding rigs do exist, but as you're likely aware, they transfer all their loading and stresses through their mast step - most often being stepped through the deck so you essentially have the full hull height worth of support. Not

The difference here is that a cat or dog hasn't been trained to write a python program, and it probably isn't possible - the weights and activation functions of a cat brain simply won't allow it.

This is sorta how many "embedded" systems with a display work these days. Start a chromium window in kiosk mode at boot and use a webapp for the UI. You'd be surprised how many touchscreens out in the world do exactly this.

I've gone through the process of auditioning a bunch of rust webservers as well and came away with the opinion that of them all, Axum and Tide have the best interfaces and features. We went with tide, and I still believe that it is the

I think this is a symptom of using weakly typed languages as well. If your argument types are declared to be options/eithers, then you need to handle the empty case, but usually it's easier and better to just move that optional ha

Sidebar, but I care about the headphone jack issue and am still annoyed by it. Bluetooth headphones just aren't very good, and we've all gotten in the habit of buying a new pair every few years because they either break, get lost,

Building in a high safety factor is not a failsafe. A failsafe requires that in the event of failure, the system goes into a safe state.

Azure Active Directory manages this well. If your company uses office365, it's likely you already are using this under the hood.

I'm sure many will disagree, but just implement it yourself if you're an SP. If you're using a common web framework, there's almost certainly packages/plugins that will manage SSO and 2fa, and despite the constant f

I use my desktop at home exclusively for gaming. I had Windows on it, but it would continually crash when trying to use my bluetooth xbox controller with it. I've switched to linux for gaming and have no issues, even running games like

I've seen this happen as well, but I think it's more of a problem of bundling too small a changeset in a release. A partial implementation of a feature shouldn't warrant a release (without feature flags to disable it), but bu

I'm curious why you think it's too big to master. There's certainly a lot to the language, but it's design means that these various facets are largely contained to their area of effect. I'd be confident in the asser

On Linux, the official teams application crashes constantly and most often doesn't work at all for video or audio. Fine, I'll use the browser version then. Except the browser version won't load 50% of the time, brings my lapt

Infant speak for all IdP's but Azure allows for configuring a sign out url to solve this issue - when the user signs out of their Azure AD account, the sign-out url is called so that the application can revoke the users session.
