I think that it means the reason for doing where 1 = 1 is sometimes to allow for easy insertion of dynamic queries which can be a security and performance issue. The actual usage of where 1 = 1 doesn't cause the security or performance

Are you doing screenshot comparison with Playwright? If so, how? Based on my research this looks to be a missing feature but I could be incorrect.

Any recommendations for a more aggressive reset? What if you are already using a library such as bootstrap or tailwind?

100%. ORMs are good for basic queries but the messes I have seen written joining 20 plus tables with conditions and left joins, etc, oof. Just use SQL, it’s much cleaner and easier to maintain.

To add to this Commander Keen was released on a very limited platform. More people were gaming on Nintendo systems than personal computers. If Commander Keen was released on Nintendo things may have gone differently.

20+ years ago I wrote a completely custom open order dashboard on top of Oracle database that was modeled after a 30+ page daily report that the warehouse guy was printing every morning (M-F) and making 15 - 20 copies, then delivering to ma

These are fantastic, thank you for sharing! I’ve been exploring generating small charts with SVGs lately. Does anyone have good resources or suggestions for SVG chart generation? Ideally without requiring a JavaScript framework.

Would be interested to hear more about your opinion on why using a database is a mistake.

Agreed on the 3rd party code having a WAF. What WAF solution are you using for WordPress?

Even better, use stored procedures / routines on top of views and only query the stored procedures from the frontend.

I’m currently using Ansible for something similar. Mind if I ask why you switched to Terraform?

I’ve heard it said that if it’s important enough to you then you will give it the time it needs. Either spending time with certain people or when working. For long lists, pick the task that’s most important to complete and do it. Then pick

I’m in the same position as you. They keep removing features and raising the prices. Been with them for 6 years. Biggest concern is moving all of my monthly recurring revenue elsewhere since I’m auto billing stored CC information (stored wi

Simple is always better, especially if you are a small team. For example, there is no reason to scroll jack the site. It makes it extremely difficult to navigate and at least for myself, I immediately close the tab if scroll jacking is in p

Wildbit is fantastic but unfortunately the new owners are known for very poor products and service. Fingers crossed though because Postmark has been the beacon of hope for a couple of years now.

They have been saving it for years. How do you think they give so much away for free? By selling the information they collect.

In my opinion you should be careful claiming 100% uptime since it feels that you are just throwing numbers out there. Especially with other comments in this thread stating that this doesn’t appear to be 90% of data.
