We shouldn’t have needed lockfiles

from tonsky.me [alt+shift+b] in programming

6th Aug 2025
Imagine you’re writing a project and need a library. Let’s call it libpupa. You look up its current version, which is 1.2.3, and add it to your dependencies: "libpupa": "1.2.3" In turn, the developer of libpupa, when writing its version 1.2.3, needed another library: liblupa. So...

from Alex Meub [alt+shift+b] in programming

20th Jan 2019
If you host your website on Amazon CloudFront or directly on Amazon S3, you may not currently have it configured to support IPv6. This means that visitors won’t be able to access your content with IPv6-only enabled which is not good. On top of that, I think its important to...

Asynchronous JavaScript - what is it? (Promises, callbacks, async/await)

from Tinloof - Blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

30th Aug 2020
JavaScript code is executed synchronously. In other words, from top to bottom and one line at a time. First, the code will execute the function and know what to return when getText() is called. Then it assigns the getText() function to the variable text.

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
