We're iterating across every key. The first thing we check is if a key "h" exists. We don't look at its value, we just check if it exists, and if it does, we set a global variable.

    Today's anonymous submitter worked for a "large, US-based, e-commerce company." This particular company was, some time back, looking to save money, and like so many companies do, that meant hiring offshore contractors. Now, I want to stress, there's certainly nothing magical about national borders which turns software engineers into incompetents. The reality is simply that contractors never have their client's best interests at heart; they only want to be good enough to complete their contract. This gets multiplied by the contracting firm's desire to maximize their profits by keeping their contractors as booked as possible. And it gets further multiplied by the remoteness and siloing of the interaction, especially across timezones. Often, the customer sends ...

    Many years ago, JP joined a Ruby project. This was in the heyday of Ruby, when every startup on Earth was using it, and if you weren't building your app on Rails, were you even building an app? Now, Ruby offers a lot of flexibility. One might argue that it offers too much flexibility, especially insofar as it permits "monkey patching": you can always add new methods to an existing class, if you want. Regardless of the technical details, JP and the team saw that massive flexibility and said, "Yes, we should use that. All of it!" As these stories usually go, that was fine- for awhile. Then one day, a test started failing because a class name wasn't defined. That was already odd, but what was even odder is that when they searched through the code, that class na ...

    Legacy systems are hard to change, and even harder to eliminate. You can't simply do nothing though; as technology and user expectations change, you need to find ways to modernize and adapt the legacy system. That's what happened to Alicia's team. They had a gigantic, spaghetti-coded, monolithic application that was well past drinking age and had a front-end to match. Someone decided that they couldn't touch the complex business logic, but what they could do was replace the frontend code by creating an adapter service; the front end would call into this adapter, and the adapter would execute the appropriate methods in the backend. Some clever coder named this "Backend for Frontend" or "BFF". It was not anyone's BFF. For starters, this system didn't actually ...

She paced a bit while Barry badged in, and then immediately explained the issue: Today was a major release of their new features. This wasn't just a mere software change; the new release was tied to major changes to a new product line- actual widgets rolling off an assembly line right now. And those changes didn't work. "I thought we tested this," Barry said. "We did! And Stu called in sick today!" Stu was the senior developer on the project, who had written most of the new code.

  • Representative Line: Time for Identification
    If you need a unique ID, UUIDs provide a variety of options. It's worth noting that variants 1, 2, and 7 all incorporate a timestamp into the UUID. In the case of variant 7, this has the benefit of making the UUID sortable, which can be convenient in many cases (v1/v2 incorporate a MAC address which means that they're sortable if generated with the same NIC). I bring this up because Dave inherited some code written by a "guru". Said guru was working before UUIDv7 was a standard, but also didn't have any problems that required sortable UUIDs, and thus had no real reason to use timestamp based UUIDs. They just needed some random identifier and, despite using C#, didn't use the UUID functions built in to the framework. No, they instead did this: string uniqueID ...

The request wasn't the problem, per se. The API, on the other hand, absolutely was. The application Jenny was working on represented a billing contract for materials consumed at a factory. Essentially, the factory built a bunch of individual parts, and then assembled them into a finished product.

    Air conditioning will contribute more to rising global energy demand than data centers through 2030, according to an International Energy Agency. While attention has focused on computing power consumption, the IEA projects data centers will account for less than 10% of increased energy demand by 2030, significantly less than space cooling requirements.

  • Oracle Tells Clients of Second Recent Hack, Log-In Data Stolen
    An anonymous reader shares a report: Oracle has told customers that a hacker broke into a computer system and stole old client log-in credentials, according to two people familiar with the matter. It's the second cybersecurity breach that the software company has acknowledged to clients in the last month. Oracle staff informed some clients this week that the attacker gained access to usernames, passkeys and encrypted passwords, according to the people, who spoke on condition that they not be identified because they're not authorized to discuss the matter. Oracle also told them that the FBI and cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike are investigating the incident, according to the people, who added that the attacker sought an extortion payment from the company. Ora ...

  • Climate Crisis On Track To Destroy Capitalism, Warns Top Insurer
    The climate crisis is on track to destroy capitalism, a top insurer has warned, with the vast cost of extreme weather impacts leaving the financial sector unable to operate. From a report: The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks, said Günther Thallinger, on the board of Allianz SE, one of the world's biggest insurance companies. He said that without insurance, which is already being pulled in some places, many other financial services become unviable, from mortgages to investments. Global carbon emissions are still rising and current policies will result in a rise in global temperature between 2.2C and 3.4C above pre-industrial levels. The damage at 3C will be s ...

  • Climate Firm That Partnered With Meta, Microsoft Goes Bankrupt
    Climate startup Aspiration, which boasted a roster of celebrity backers and arranged carbon credits for Meta Platforms, Microsoft and other large companies, filed bankruptcy weeks after its co-founder was arrested on fraud charges. From a report: CTN Holdings, as the company is now known, has about $170 million in debt. The goal of the bankruptcy is to sell its assets as quickly as possible in order to repay creditors, chief restructuring officer Miles Staglik said in a court filing. The pool of potential bidders is small and the nature of the CTN's ventures will likely require more cash and "long term horizons before any potential value could be realized for creditors," Staglik said. The bankruptcy was filed after co-founder Joseph Sanberg was charged by ...

  • Intel Refreshes Iconic Brand
    Intel has unveiled a refresh of its iconic brand identity, introducing the slogan "That's the power of Intel Inside" to reconnect with consumers and highlight the chipmaker's role in modern computing. The new campaign resurrects the familiar "Intel Inside" theme that helped transform the company into a household name in the 1990s, when Intel's marketing strategy directly targeted consumers rather than system designers. Brett Hannath, Intel's chief marketing officer, said the message reflects the company's belief that its products can unlock potential for employees, customers, consumers and partners. The original "Intel Inside" campaign, launched in 1991, revolutionized tech marketing by making processors a key selling point for PCs with its recognizable st ...

  • AV1 is Supposed To Make Streaming Better, So Why Isn't Everyone Using It?
    Despite promises of more efficient streaming, the AV1 video codec hasn't achieved widespread adoption seven years after its 2018 debut, even with backing from tech giants Netflix, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Meta. The Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia) claims AV1 is 30% more efficient than standards like HEVC, delivering higher-quality video at lower bandwidth while remaining royalty-free. Major services including YouTube, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video have embraced the technology, with Netflix encoding approximately 95% of its content using AV1. However, adoption faces significant hurdles. Many streaming platforms including Max, Peacock, and Paramount Plus haven't implemented AV1, partly due to hardware limitations. Devices require specific decoders t ...

    Microsoft has pulled back on data center projects around the world, suggesting the company is taking a harder look at its plans to build the server farms powering artificial intelligence and the cloud. From a report: The software company has recently halted talks for, or delayed development of, sites in Indonesia, the UK, Australia, Illinois, North Dakota and Wisconsin, according to people familiar with the situation. Microsoft is widely seen as a leader in commercializing AI services, largely thanks to its close partnership with OpenAI. Investors closely track Microsoft's spending plans to get a sense of long-term customer demand for cloud and AI services.

  • New Python lock file format will specify dependencies - Your thoughts?
    Python’s builders have accepted a proposal to create a universal lock file format for Python projects that would specify dependencies, enabling installation reproducibility in a Python environment. Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP) 751, accepted March 31, aims to create a new file format for specifying dependencies that is machine-generated and human-readable. Installers consuming the file should be able to calculate what to install without needing dependency resolution at install-time, according to the proposal. Currently no standard exists to create an immutable record, such as a lock file, that specifies what direct and indirect dependencies should be installed into a Python virtual environment, the proposal states. There have been at least five well-know ...

  • I made a “Time Machine” page showing what my site might’ve looked like from 1999 to 2016
    So I’ve been messing around with this idea for a while and finally made it happen — it’s basically a “time machine” for my site. You scroll through a bunch of versions of it, each one styled like it’s from a different era of the web — starting with plain old 1991 HTML and going all the way up to 2016 React-Flexbox vibes. Every year has its own little fun fact or throwback moment before you dive in — like Flash overload in 2003, dot-com chaos in 1999, or that weird obsession with gradients disappearing in 2012 😅 I wasn’t around for most of these eras, so I did some digging, asked my dad (he was building sites back then), and tried to keep it all as authentic as possible — quirks, tech limitations, fonts, everything.

I thought of this when I came across Fly.io homepage, I think, 'it looks nice', then I realized there's 0 animation whatsoever, and that's just an example of a good site with no animation.

    Some context, the stack we use at our company is node.js for everything backend (used to be a monolith in express.js, but now we have several serverless projects), and react for frontend projects. Everything in plain javascript. Also, we're a small company, but we're growing fast, we're getting more clients, and we work with progressively more and more data and requests, and there's a big push to optimize everything, have less errors, etc. We'll grow the team soon too. And one thing that our team is proposing is to switch to typescript, one of the main reasons being that it catches potential errors while you're developing, and the fact that debugging and developing over existing code in general is much faster. It's not uncommon that we have errors in product ...

  • 🚨 Testing Phase – Update 3 ( www.saketmanolkar.me )
    Direct Upload to Cloud - The traditional video upload process involves users selecting a file, submitting it via a form, and uploading it to the application server before processing and transferring it to cloud storage. Though simple, this approach is highly inefficient. Double handling of files causes the server to incur bandwidth costs twice (both inbound and outbound). Additionally, large video uploads are often blocked by server upload limits, and the multiple stages of the process introduce more points of failure in the upload and processing chain. A better approach is direct video upload to cloud, where users upload files, directly to cloud storage, bypassing the application server. This reduces server load, eliminates upload limits, and minimi ...

  • Help me pick a backend framework to learn
    Hi all, I'm a software developer with around 3yrs of professional experience. Most of my experience goes into frontend development. (React and Lit). Although I've done quite a few backend projects (expressjs) during my college days, I've never built anything significant. I'd like to learn a good backend framework. So far, I'm considering the following options: NextJs Seems like a good option as I do have a good React background. NestJs Been seeing a lot of positive reviews on it lately. And, as it goes very well with Angular, it gives me a chance to learn angular as well. Dotnet or Springboot I've read a lot of blogs, articles and reddit posts about the same question I'm asking here today. And, regardless of the evolution of new tools and frameworks in th ...

    The loading of this feed has been deferred to save bandwidth.

  • Don't worry, this is on purpose! Promise!

  • At least, it should load... Click here to force the load.

    (For the feeds to actually load, the top of "The Atlantic" feed must reach the top of the browser and you must have a browser width of at least 890px. If your browser is too tall, and the bottom of the browser reaches the bottom of the page before the top reaches the top bound of the browser, the feeds will not load.)

About all this

  • What's this page about?
  • This is a basic start page for my own personal use. Search, random links, lots of rss feeds all aggregated into one.
  • This looks awfully like Popurls!
  • As it should. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and this case is no different. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, nor taking credit for anything which I do not have due.
  • Then why?
  • This was all an excerscise to further flex my knowledge and tinker with something new.
  • What was flexed?
  • Attempts were made at making a site which thought a bit about usability (although, probably an overload of information at this point) while being fully W3C valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, CSS which is W3C valid (except the hack used in the YUI Reset!), JQuery to drive the fancy stuff, and Python behind the scenes. At least... that was the goal.
  • The page uses skeleton.css along with media queries to give different viewing experiences for wide browsers("desktop")vs small viewing areas ("mobile"). Media queries were selected so one could easily jump between different modes. Some javascript has exceptions to not or to trigger when viewed on "mobile" browsers.
