“I read your book!” “I didn’t watch your videos.” Brutal.

I don’t see a problem. The broken escalator is still stairs.

If you liked that, you’ll like his “Wat” talk. https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/wat

The feeling you get when searching your codebase for references to your “uid” variable but this cheeky boy keeps popping up.

Not sure I understand the point of mcfly. zsh and fish have this functionality built in, where pressing Up with a command partially typed will give auto-completions to that partial match.

Are you looking to just replace GH Pages or Github altogether? netlify is a nice step up from GitHub Pages. Once integrated with github or gitlab it will autodeploy changes from whatever branch you tell it. As a bonus, you get preview links on every pull request before merging and rolling out to your live site.

I prefer the term slot machine coding because you keep thinking you almost have a jackpot but there’s one lemon in there so you get that rush to keep pulling the lever and expecting different results.

Nah, this guy is clearly riled up about lifetimes.

For brotli compression, first check if nginx/angie has the correct modules (brotli and brotli_static) (nginx -V). If not, you can install it like so: https://www.getpagespeed.com/server-setup/nginx/brotli-static

Then create your brotli bomb by modifying the original author’s fish command: fish zip_bomb.fish | brotli --best > bomb.html.br

UB must be Undefined Behavior.

These microservices are fun to look at, but the legacy side actually gets the job done.

On the tower defense, upgrading the Laser Tower (to Beam Emitter) breaks the game.

Took me a minute. And for good measure… ;

Yeah but that’s why the cross-post feature exists in lemmy, so users can be part of similar communities without seeing the same story duplicated on their feed or having the conversation split in multiple places.

the future of complex web apps*

I can see in-browser games and containerized desktop application benefiting from wasm, but simple ecommerce sites without all the fluff can be just as performant with SSR or a multi-page application. For instance several years ago I built the frontend and middleware for the Hart Tools and Ryobi Tools websites using Nuxt for SSR and Algolia for the search. Images are the majority of CPU and network load and the websites are snappy as a result. Even this tech stack is overkill for what the websites need to do but my point is for general use case this or a similar tech stack won’t benefit from introducing wasm.

Since he’s touching the keyboard with unwashed hands it’s probably best he didn’t wipe.

This is exactly what I was talking about, thanks!

Someone should make a service like this except you actually upload the file directly to the other user rather than uploading it to a 3rd party (encrypted or not). Yes I get you would have to wait for the user on the other end to connect to you before the transfer starts but if you’re uploading 100+GB of data you’re going to be leaving that browser tab open for awhile anyways.
