  • What's the best way to monitor an API for breaking changes?

    Jump

  • That’s if their API implementation itself is just bad and underlying DBs aren’t . If they or someone else with bad practices manages the DB you may be in worse situation than before. In general, to me, shared DB is bad because it is hard to not cut corners in such design and ensure that DB owner does not break contract for all consumers. This is basically why APIs created - to guarantee contracts and encapsulate change. But I digress. My point is that it will be your responsibility to ensure schema changes adopted to expected contract. If data is not normalized/structured, like say, it’s JSON then I would stay away.

  • Does API actually doing anything or it’s pass-through to data source? You could request data feed and build adequate API on your side

    • I don’t use AI code autocomplete. It was giving me nonsense and interrupts my thought process when I write code. Standard non-AI autocomplete is much better. I tried to use chat to generate medium size logic (up to 100 lines). Mostly it does not work or refining prompt takes more time than writing code myself so I stopped using it for medium sized tasks. I use it for small tasks up to 20 lines where I need an example of how to use specific API. What it does well is generating test cases (not tests themselves). I once tried to summarize set of made up requirements (can elaborate if anyone interested in), it instantly gave me idea of how far we are from AGI as it failed miserably.
    • I do not consider for my usage since I use it maybe once-twice a week on average. But generally, I think it’s a huge waste of resources, not only natural but financial and human

  • Infrastructure is there to be used by apps/services. It doesn’t matter how it’s created if infrastructure across providers does not provide same API. You can’t use GCP storage SDK to call AWS s3. Even if API would be same, nothing guarantees consistent behavior. Just like JPA provides API but implementations and DBs behavior are inconsistent

  • I have experience with paid code review AI. It’s mostly bad. It did catch few bugs throughout the course of the project but I wasted much more time on useless or sometimes straight up wrong suggestions. I also think static code analysis gives more value

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!

  • I recently started setting up home server on Raspberry Pi 5. Having issues with raid1. I have 2 nvme PCIe gen 4 SSDs. There was power outages while writing. Now second disk keeps randomly falling. Though, I’m not sure if that’s the reason because I don’t know what was raid status before outage, also disk passes checks. First time it degraded, it tried to recover and it failed. I removed that disk from raid, recreated partition run some test using nvme-cli. Disk looked healthy. I re-added disk, rebuild started and completed successfully. Then I’ve written around 500Gbs of data and it degraded again. At that point I took a break.

    There are two things I’m yet to try:

    1. Change configs to use gen 2 PCI, currently it’s set to gen 3, but AFAIK pi 5 does not support gen 3 officially.
    2. Remove, format and write data to problematic disk directly. I hope this will give me an idea is this hardware issue or software issue

    I’m frustrated and will appreciate any hints.

  • What’s blocking students from building real-world projects in college?

    Jump

  • Idk which market you are in. In mine no one cares about your project. Most of companies don’t do innovation. Most of real life projects I saw just moves data around. When I interview people all I care about is knowledge of tech stack and what I call “analytical thinking”.

  • Writing Code Was Never The Bottleneck

    Jump

  • Omg this is so true, I had 3 engineers which supposed to work on component. It took me almost a day to explain context, requirements and how work is split. Two of them were busy with other work. One did their part. After reviewing I realized they still lack understanding and need to rework what was done.I made an experiment and implemented whole thing myself. Since coordination part was eliminated it took me 3 times less than initially estimated.

  • Non-Americans, what's it like when you're sick and need to go to the doctor?

    Jump

  • I was on vacation in Portugal and twisted my ankle badly. It was in remote area, so hospital was not the best. But experience was ok. It was in a town with around 25k people. 2 hours of waiting. x-ray and doctor visit costed me 55 euros.

    In my home country I pay 20 euros per month for private health insurance. This includes basic dental insurance. I guess, most expensive procedure I had is MRI of brain, but it was also fully covered so I’m not sure what was the price. There is free healthcare but I only had to resort to it once

  • [ComiCSS] Benefits of Tailwind

    Jump

  • Don’t get me wrong, I’d always choose html over js if I could. My problem with css, and web in general, that it’s too fragmented. It’s like those people who are designing css, html, js and browsers didn’t speak to each other whatsoever. So now there is entire industry of js frameworks to glue all shit together. Like, look at the WebComponents. Which supposed to be native, out of the box replacement. So much effort and they still cannot compete, in some cases they simply do not provide basic features needed to build complex UIs. Next time I can choose stack I’ll probably just go with htmx

  • [ComiCSS] Benefits of Tailwind

    Jump

  • Don’t know about tailwind but I used styled-components and not going back to vanilla css. CSS seems to be designed to be used with HTML, which did make sense back when it was created. Modern web is 99% JS and components composition which does not work well with Vanilla CSS in terms of class name uniqueness, specificity. Also it easy to dumb shit with CSS, like, I worked in the project where we had a lot of legacy global CSS. We had like dozen CSS styles which were adding margin to

    <label/>

    ,

    <p>

    and so on. I mean no classes, just globally. I’ve been forced to add ‘all: unset’ to basically all my new components just to avoid changing global styles and breaking something else. Do not recommend.

  • Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

    Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

    Jump

  • I’m still not totally understanding what you’re looking for. But if you need alternative to JS for writing web UIs check out htmx. It’s still JS lib but its main goal to facilitate hyper text as engine. Meaning you do SSR but with CSR UX. And it’s backend agnostic.

  • is my PR big enough ?

    Jump

  • PRs should be exactly as big (or small) as task requires. It’s task that needs to be split into smaller task, if it makes sense to split of course.

  • My understanding Quantum field theory says virtual particles can be created out of vacuum fluctuations, which makes me think there will be more energy after expansion. Again, I might be getting it wrong.
