Interval Tree Clocks, or how to track causality in a distributed network ( ferd.ca )

In a comment on my “right to be forgotten” proposal I mentioned causality tracking (so eg. figuring out whether event A happened before or after event B) in distributed networks as an example of a hard problem, and I figured I’d share a blog post (not mine) on one of the more modern techniques that’s still very much...

I developed a platform to navigate with slow or unstable connections ( blaze.cyclic.app )

Recently, I ran out of mobile data on my phone, and I was forced to browse at a significantly reduced speed. It was so slow that it was practically unusable, except for messaging apps. So, I developed a platform in the form of a search engine that allows browsing and accessing information while exchanging a negligible amount of...

Best way to start coding indie games?

Hey, folks! My son (currently 15) is interested in getting into game development. He’s taken a class in Python in school and enjoyed it, but I know Python won’t be enough. I don’t think he’s interested in ever making big, AAA games, but more along the lines of Undertale (which was made in Game Maker Studio) or Bug Fables...

any good github copilot alternatives?

Copilot is great, but a hundred bucks for what is basically a smart autocomplete seems a bit much - mostly, I hate the fact that the code is constantly transmitted to github (my repos are mostly local) - are there any reasonably convenient options for doing this without github looking over my shoulder all the time? I’m using...

Is SQL a good language for data transformations?

I always wish I wouldn’t have to pull in python/pandas to do simple data transformations on smaller local datasets/csv files and stick with sqlite. But then I tend to quickly hit a problem that seems to require dynamic SQL. Anything in between SQL and a general programming language that is made for transforming tabular data?

Who's better at teaching js? Bro code/Net ninja

I’ve watched Bro code on YouTube for learning html and CSS and I enjoyed his explaining, teaching and such. After i completed his YouTube course I went onto numerous different sources to learn more. I found that he teached me most of the stuff that I found afterwards. When I was happy with my html and CSS skill to the point I...

What do you think of my code for a classic interview question? ( lemm.ee )

I’ve found this interview question at GeeksForGeeks and decided to actually code it in C++. The program currently prints the “value” of the horses (which is inaccessible by the coder so they can’t just look up who is number 1) and then proceeds to sort them and find the position of numbers 1,2 and 3 in a 5x5 matrix with...

How do devs protect the company's database from bugs or exploits with each released app/site update?

With ever the constant updates to popular and important apps and websites, how do the developers ensure the update preserves the user and site’s original database, considering the possibility that the updates might contain data-corruptive bugs or exploits for users?...
