I've worked worked developers that have a hardline against ORMs. I see lot of their points, especially around the performance of raw SQL. But I cannot get past how much boilerplate code that has be written over and over again. And then

Note to others: Try not to defend yourself in an apology. Otherwise it ceases to become an apology, and instead becomes a list of reasons why there should be no accountability.

To add on: cancellation === accountability. Which many people seem to forget.

I'll give you that things are hardly ever binary. But toxicity is something that can be determined. They are the people do not care about others. They do not listen, no matter how many times you've talked to them. They see themsel

I could not disagree more. This whole statement is "sorry, not sorry". If someone is known to be a toxic person (and currently still is), you do not let them on to your team. Ever.

Most expensive "historical" movies are wrong too. Otherwise I totally agree with you. I just don't think how much a movie cost to make matters much with regards to historical accuracy.

I've never understood snapshot tests either. My team tried them early on but abandoned them quickly. Whats the value in them?

In addition to Storybook, their Chromatic product is amazing. Hot take: Delete your snapshot tests. Use Chromatic instead.

I'm curious about those who use a monorepo with microservices: how do you solve CD/CI? Is Bazel the only solution?

by sthomas1618 7y ago
Per the presentation, you would need to weigh the benefits/costs. Since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, I would argue the cost of adding is very low. The benefits will be naturally high due to type definitions reducing bugs and

This isn't going to work. Latency will make this dead on arrival for multiplayer games.

I think he's implying a cheater's injected DDL would be tailored for a specific build, so if they shared it with others, it would be ineffective. And not only that, but based on how the Cheater.DDL is targeting the build, they cou

That would assume the server is sharing the knowledge of other players through the fog of war.

Agreed. Definitely not trying to say encryption is a poor strategy. But it does seem obfuscation is most of their anti-cheat techniques. But the larger point I was trying to make is that all these studios are very secret about anti-cheat bu

Aside from strategy/RTS games, I'm not sure if thats even possible? How does is ripping off a popular mod relevant here?

That's good point and their random debuggers are definitely a clever obfuscation technique. And also not trying to say encryption is a poor strategy. The larger point I'm trying to make is that its possible being so secret about a

I feel like the industry would be better off being transparent about anti-cheat strategies and maybe even embracing open-source. Protecting "secret sauce" is basically admitting their anti-cheat are largely through obfuscation and

Something I've been wondering about: how stable is Kubernetes service discovery? I.e. can it entirely replace something like eureka? Is there any reason not to use Kubernetes provided service discovery?
