  • CodeSOD: Contains Some Bad Choices
    While I'm not hugely fond of ORMs (I'd argue that relations and objects don't map neatly to each other, and any ORM is going to be a very leaky abstraction for all but trivial cases), that's not because I love writing SQL. I'm a big fan of query-builder tools; describe your query programatically, and have an API that generates the required SQL as a result. This cuts down on developer error, and also hopefully handles all the weird little dialects that every database has. For example, did you know Postgres has an @> operator? It's a contains operation, which returns true if an array, range, or JSON dictionary contains your search term. Basically, an advanced "in" operation.

    Arguably, the worst moment for date times was the shift from Julian to Gregorian calendars. The upgrade took a long time, too, as some countries were using the Julian calendar over 300 years from the official changeover, famously featured in the likely aprochryphal story about Russia arriving late for the Olympics. At least that change didn't involve adding any extra months, unlike some of the Julian reforms, which involved adding multiple "intercalary months" to get the year back in sync after missing a pile of leap years. Speaking of adding months, Will J sends us this "calendar" enum: enum Calendar { April = 0, August = 1, December = 2, February = 3, Friday = 4, January = 5, July = 6, June = 7, March = 8, May = 9, ...

    Goodhart's Law states that when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. Or, more to the point: you get what you measure. If, for example, you measure code coverage, you are going to get code coverage. It doesn't mean the tests will be any good, it just means that you'll write tests that exercise different blocks of code.

    Jon supports some software that's been around long enough that the first versions of the software ran on, and I quote, "homegrown OS". They've long since migrated to Linux, and in the process much of their software remained the same. Many of the libraries that make up their application haven't been touched in decades. Because of this, they don't really think too much about how they version libraries; when they deploy they always deploy the file as mylib.so.1.0. Their RPM post-install scriptlet does an ldconfig after each deployment to get the symlinks updated. For those not deep into Linux library management, a brief translation: shared libraries in Linux are .so files. ldconfig is a library manager, which finds the "correct" versions of the libraries you ha ...

    From the official Pytorch blog: We’re excited to share that PyTorch now leverages Pyrefly to power type checking across our core repository, along with a number of projects in the PyTorch ecosystem: Helion, TorchTitan and Ignite. For a project the size of PyTorch, leveraging typing and type checking has long been essential for ensuring consistency and preventing common bugs that often go unnoticed in dynamic code. Migrating to Pyrefly brings a much needed upgrade to these development workflows, with lightning-fast, standards-compliant type checking and a modern IDE experience. With Pyrefly, our maintainers and contributors can catch bugs earlier, benefit from consistent results between local and CI runs, and take advantage of advanced typing features. In th ...

  • Why “Skip the Code, Ship the Binary” Is a Category Error
    So recently Elon Musk is floating the idea that by 2026 you “won’t even bother coding” because models will “create the binary directly”. This sounds futuristic until you stare at what compilers actually are. A compiler is already the “idea to binary” machine, except it has a formal language, a spec, deterministic transforms, and a pipeline built around checkability. Same inputs, same output. If it’s wrong, you get an error at a line and a reason. The “skip the code” pitch is basically saying: let’s remove the one layer that humans can read, diff, review, debug, and audit, and jump straight to the most fragile artifact in the whole stack. Cool. Now when something breaks, you don’t inspect logic, you just reroll the slot machine. Crash? regenerate. Memory corr ...

  • What does your "frontend" work actually look like day to day now?
    I've been doing "frontend" work for about 6 years now and I've noticed that what I actually do on a daily basis looks almost nothing like what it did even two years ago. Back then it was mostly React components, CSS, maybe some Redux, and calling REST APIs that the backend team built. Pretty clear line between frontend and backend. Now I'm writing server components, setting up edge functions, configuring middleware, dealing with database queries in my "frontend" framework, thinking about caching strategies, and recently even having to consider how AI agents will interact with the sites I build. Half of what I do would have been called "backend work" not that long ago. I'm not complaining, it's genuinely more interesting. But I'm ...

They use remote iframes to bypass Web Store reviews and can silently update behavior server-side. The Gmail ones are particularly nasty, they extract email content and send it to third-party servers (yeah its messed up). Several were even featured by Chrome Store.

  • Why Stripe webhook signature verification fails (and how to debug it properly)
    I've seen a lot of confusion around webhook signature failures. The error usually looks like: "Webhook signature verification failed" "401 Unauthorized" But the real causes are often: - Express body parser modifying the raw body - Timestamp outside tolerance window - Using SHA-1 instead of SHA-256 (GitHub) - Wrong webhook secret - Base64 encoding differences The most common issue I’ve seen is middleware mutating the body before verification. If you're using Express, make sure you're using: express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }) instead of express.json() for the webhook route. Curious: what's the most confusing webhook failure you’ve debugged? submitted by /u/navierstokes88 [link] [comments] ...

Problem is, I tested this on a smaller client using the RankMath and Redirection plugins and it didn't catch the URL change to auto-create the redirects. This client has over 400 blogs to redirect. Any tools or recommendations for automating this work instead of manually running all 400 redirects?? TIA! submitted by /u/Inside-Gur-3001 [link] [comments] ...

  • Can we get a filter or stricter moderation for AI-generated "slop" posts?
    This sub is getting buried in bot automations(ex, OpenClaw) link-dumping with similar structured context. As well as similar generative questions(LLM-rephrased fluff). It's maddening. Two interim solutions come to mind A low-effort AI report button option Auto-modding repetitive generative patterns If I'm off base, you can just delete this post, mods. Also, if anyone has other solutions, please share! submitted by /u/f00d4tehg0dz [link] [comments] ...

  • Keep scrolling to view content!

    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.
