It looks like a nice little library; but oh boy must this be so limiting for the product teams that are forced to use. Everything looks like it's straight out of the 1990s.

That's already happening in the UK too. Shortly after the Online Safety Act went into operation, there was politically charged/sensitive/opinionated content on X mysteriously disappearing for UK users but nobody else in the w

JWT inside of a cookie is fine. This gist is unnecessarily pedantic and seems oblivious to the fact that 99% of JWT impls are indeed just stuffing it inside a cookie. But yes, short life times with frequent renewals is necessary; that'

This will fail product-market fit instantly. Nobody is paying $49/mo for a tiny script they can vibe and run locally.

The most baffling thing here is that they allowed a very very simple JSON expression language to become a 500k/year cost burden on their business My god. But I am happy that they finally realised their error and put it right.

This is a really really bad idea. Don't break backwards compat. for 20% of gains. Internet connection speeds and storage capacities only go up. In a few years time, 20% of gains will seem crazy to have broken back-compat for.

I see. But surely Netflix could have setup 1 to 3 of the "best" variants of the Bandersnatch and let people watch those? Even a "directors cut" based on how the director chose the path, would suffice. The content is enti

I wanted to re-watch this on Netflix but it seems they removed it some time ago and have no plans to bring it back. It seems the interactivity features were obsoleted from their app platform as they were hard to support?

Regardless of whether he was grifting or not, he still didn't deserve what happened to him. Nobody apart from serious criminals or warlords deserve that. He was neither. Why not just embarrass him in a viral stunt. Nobody even tried to

Are you aware that other OAuth providers exist and that there is no reason to tie yourself directly to Google's provider?

Have a read about the "Tube Alloys" project, too. Precursor and seed for the Manhattan Project.

I love the Java code sample: ``` // It works, but we have no idea how to send an HTTP request in java. // If you do, send us a nice example to support@errortexts.com. // You just need to POST JSON with the keys

I've been visiting China every 1 to 3 years since 2014 and definitely in the last 4 years, on multiple visits, I've noticed that pollution is visibly lower. You can actually see the blue of the sky on most days. Everyone has notic

Yes it caches pages in memory. The cache size is configurable via a PRAGMA. Postgres / MSSQL / all RDBMS is slow because of network I/O.

I've been using this tool pretty much every day for almost a decade. It has a few quirks but it is still the best desktop tool for interacting with SQLite databases.

If even the European Commission cannot get GDPR right, then what hope do small/medium businesses have?

There is a .shm (shared memory) file that all SQLite connections to the database would use to determine which page ranges are in the WAL versus main DB file. So that overhead already exists when WAL is enabled.

I'm not sure that $113M is enough? They will also need to find a Tier 1 cloud partner but Azure and GCM are both taken.

Brad Smith is definitely part of the old guard. Joined in 1993. His remarks the other day are going to age terribly. He's basically everything Ballmer was but as a lawyer. But, we should expect more of this if mega corporations are all
