Blockchain is a slow, cumbersome, badly designed database that is incredibly energy and material intense to run.
1 single bitcoin transaction:
712.41 kgCO2: carbon footprint of 1,578,956 VISA transactions,

In which year are these 15 affirmations true?

There is currently a support for go, kotlin, python and typescript. It is very interesting, because it takes over one reason why ORMs are used (with migration handling and security).

The documentation is available at https://docs.sqlc.dev/en/latest/

Write like a human: "Monzo’s approach here is so action-focused, in fact, that you’d be forgiven for not recognising it as an error at all: you'll need your phone for that."

Ask yourself:

• would this message still work for someone having a bad day?
• could this language trivialise the issue?
• are we helping users get unstuck, or just showing off?

Use active voice:

We couldn’t process your application because the file type you’ve attached isn’t supported. Please re-attach the file as a jpeg and try again.

The active voices tells us who is doing what, while the passive voice is ambiguous.

Give a clear way forward: for errors a user can fix, we should clearly state what they need to do.

• Check that your card details are correct, or try a different payment method
• Enter your name

When we handle errors with care, clarity and empathy, we not only help users move forward, we show that we value their time, their goals and their experience.

40% plus susceptibles de contenir des clés d'API, des mots de passe ou des jetons.

Dommage qu'on ne connaisse pas plus en détail la manière dont l'étude a été effectuée.

Et Mayur Upadhyaya d'ajouter : « Les meilleures pratiques telles que la rotation des clés, la mise en oeuvre de jetons à courte durée de vie et l'application de la règle du moindre privilège sont bien comprises mais difficiles à maintenir à l'échelle d'une organisation ». Selon lui, les entreprises devraient chercher à mettre en place des garde-fous plus solides, comme des outils d'analyse automatisés, une surveillance proactive du code et un meilleur accompagnement des développeurs.

SSD lost data if they are not connected on a regular basis.
At least once a year for SSDs
At least once every 6 months for professional SSDs

An SSD's endurance rating is calculated based on how long it can store data if left unplugged after a certain amount of data has been written, hence the importance of this testing.

SSDs can took over 4x longer after two years of heavy use.

This is a small test sample though.

Cela dépend des découpages fait arbitrairement:

les routeurs annoncent à leurs pairs les préfixes d'adresses IP qu'ils savent joindre. Ces pairs retransmettent ensuite à leurs propres pairs une partie des annonces reçues, selon leur politique.

Il y a beaucoup plus de routes IPv4 qu'IPv6 en raison du découpage de plus en plus fin des préfixes pour gérer la pénurie d'adresse. Au passage, si vous êtes soucieux de l'empreinte environnementale du numérique, notez qu'IPv6 impose donc une charge moins forte aux routeurs, et devrait donc logiquement être déployé partout.

C'est instructif.

GStreamer is a library for constructing graphs of media-handling components. The applications it supports range from simple Ogg/Vorbis playback, audio/video streaming to complex audio (mixing) and video (non-linear editing) processing.

I still get the "gst-plugins-bad" from them. Soundconverter (GNOME) reports it everytime I open it. The README is gold: https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-plugins-bad

Storing the raw blobs data has one advantage: no data is lost and they can be refined by need.

IDE references can be thrown into postgres in order to retrieve them.

It just feels like we have a dozen Band-Aids wrapped around a problem that used to be solved.

I totally agree.
