BehindTheBarrier

I largely agree with this nodding along to many of the pitfalls presented. Except numbers 2s good refactor. I hope I won't sound too harsh/picky for an example that perhaps skipped renaming for clarity on the other parts, but I wanted to mention it.

While I don't use javascript and may be missing some of the norms and context of the lanugage, creating lamda functions (i don't know the js term) and then hardcoding them into a function is barely an improvement. It's fine because they work well with map and filter, but it didn't address the vague naming. Renaming is refactoring too!

isAdult is a simple function with a clear name, but formatUser and processUsers are surprisingly vague. formatUser gives only adult FormattedUsers, and that should probably be highlighted in the name of formatUser now that it is a resuable function. To me, it seems ripe for mistaken use given that it is the filter that at a glance handles removing non-adult users before the formatting, while formatUser doesn't appear to exepct only adult users from it's naming or even use! Ideally, formatUser should have checked the age on it's own and set isAdult true/false accordingly, instead of assuming it will be used only on adult Users.

Likewise, the main function is called processUsers but could easily have been something more descriptive like GetAdultFormattedUsers or something similar depending on naming standards in js and the context it is used in. It may make more sense in the actual context, but in the example a FormattedUser doesn't have to be an adult, so a function processing users should clarify that it only actually creates adult formatted users since there is a case where a FormattedUser is not an adult.

He may have used the wrong word, but maintaining the same function signature across two files (while made easier by IDE tools) sucks ass to do. It was one of the major pain points for me doing a C++ course (along with the abyssmal compilation error messages). Not that I have tried Zig, but I do not see a reason to involve header files in my life if I can avoid it.

It's not the fart (speed) that kills you it's the smell (crash). A Norwegian English joke.

Looks very Norwegian, and there seems to be a crossing on the road used to prevent sheep from leaving the area (while cars still can drive over it) which is also something we have in Norway.

I'm red green colorblind but ended up at 177, which is fairly close to the (as I see at least) middle while line dividing green and blue.

Which is surprising because I bought blue chopsticks in Japan, and my mother say they are mainly green, much to my frustration.

Late here, but if you want the easy route then there is always Unity (C#) if it fits for your use case in game dev and the license isn't a problem for you.

If you use it frequently, I suggest getting a GUI that have profiles or remember options so you don't have to mess with commands all the time. I wrote my own little command line wrspper which is Windows only since I don't have Linux to test on. Though it shouldn't take much effort to add support.

Makes it much more convenient when you don't have to specify things like archive (ignore duplicates), filename to be "artist - title" (where possible), download destination, etc. Just alt-tab, Ctrl-v, Enter. And the download is running. And mine also has parallel downloads and queue for when you got many slow downloads.

I'm not sure if many children = bad in the comic, or if it is more nuanced.

But triplets fight on average a lot more, and imagine 3 mini Everett Trues going et eachother! I'd jump out the window too.

I sorta remember this happened, or something like it, try actually clearing your cookies and logging in again. That might make it stick.

Ultimately, I don't see any need for users to care about ids. I'd just make a user ID column in the category table and use that for selecting categories. Rather think about a display name that is either known or made by the user.

The only problem with increasing numbers is if you don't properly limit access to creator account and a user can just edit the url bar to get others categories. It's still a problem with other unique stuff, but less easy to crack when it's not sequential.

If you really want it, just replace ID in the url with the category name, if that is a simple string without any special characters. Actually useful for users visually, avoids numbers, users only see what they care about, still no bridging table. And the query is still a simple where user_id = x and category_name = y. This actually means non-unique names, but you are always filtering on users, so you can instead use a constraint or unique composite index on user_id and category name.

Personally i would stick with IDs because they are simple, and don't change so they are not prone to renaming, special character issues, and whatever else string handing deals with. And it's probably slower.

Not for the rapid update that broke everything.

How Do We Prevent This From Happening Again?

Software Resiliency and Testing

• Improve Rapid Response Content testing by using testing types such as:

• Local developer testing

• Content update and rollback testing

• Stress testing, fuzzing and fault injection

• Stability testing

• Content interface testing

• Add additional validation checks to the Content Validator for Rapid Response Content.

• A new check is in process to guard against this type of problematic content from being deployed in the future.

• Enhance existing error handling in the Content Interpreter.

Rapid Response Content Deployment

• Implement a staggered deployment strategy for Rapid Response Content in which updates are gradually deployed to larger portions of the sensor base, starting with a canary deployment.

• Improve monitoring for both sensor and system performance, collecting feedback during Rapid Response Content deployment to guide a phased rollout.

• Provide customers with greater control over the delivery of Rapid Response Content updates by allowing granular selection of when and where these updates are deployed.

• Provide content update details via release notes, which customers can subscribe to.

Compute becomes cheaper and larger undertakings happen. LLMs are huge, but there is new tech moving things along. The key part in LLMs, the transformer is getting new competition that may surpass it, both for LLMs and other machine learning uses.

Otherwise, cheaper GPUs for us gamers would be great.
