Sunday, September 22, 2024 Instead of just fact-checking the candidates, and presenting "both sides," how about recording the number of times the candidate threatens specific races, genders, lifestyles, religions and of course individual people. Keep a page where you tally the groups he doesn't threaten with expulsion or worse. That would be very revealing, and in line with the true issue of this election. Time for you all to get in sync with the actual American history that's being made. # It's around this time of year that I start thinking about my BOTY . I should give out a plaque or a statue or something. Someday! Anyway almost immediately I had my answer. The announcement will wait till December of course, sometimes early January. # Social networks are condemned when they carry lies from race-hate, misogyny and worse, but the major news orgs do it all the time. It's ridiculous that there are two standards. # To my programmer friends,...

Saturday, September 21, 2024 Health is nothing to screw with # Since I'm about to turn 70 (next May), and because my body is getting old in ways it never has before (of course) -- I've become a more active participant in the health care system. # One thing I've learned is it can be hard to get the attention of the doctors. And once you see your GP about a problem it's almost certain they're going to send you to a specialist. So you go to the specialist and it's pretty random as to whether they put the effort into understanding your situation in full. And they aren't trying to solve all your problems, just the ones they deal in. # An aside, a couple of years ago I had a condition that ChatGPT diagnosed in a second but it took the doctors who weren't paying much attention (my primary care doctor had retired and I was being shuffled between NPs and MDs until they could find someone to be my new main doctor) so they were al...

Friday, September 20, 2024 This is a test. For the next sixty seconds this station will conduct a test of a new server app that combines the functionality of several apps I used to run as separate servers. The goal is to be able to integrate the functionality of all the components. It's time to invest in blogging in a real way. The 2017 corner-turn was about getting back to the foundation I had before trying to co-exist with Twitter, Facebook, Medium. All three are now no longer high value targets for interop. So while I wasted a lot of time trying to peer with them, I did finally get off the horse and I had a decent setup while developed Drummer and FeedLand and in doing so learned how to do scalable server apps with SQL . I've wasted so much time trying to be compatible with apps that didn't want us. I have a feeling that none of the current targets really want us either. So let's get back to the Open Web , which gave us much hope before. I think we...

Thursday, September 19, 2024 Sarah Huckabee Sanders forced us to think of her as a mom. I don't think that works out very well in her favor, probably best not to go there. # Driving on a mountain road # I was driving on a mountain road yesterday to pick up a pizza in a nearby town. I drive it fairly regularly, and I have a car that handles well so I drive at the speed limit or a little above. # Still, what often happens on this road is some asshole tailgates, getting so close that if I hit the brakes suddenly they would have no time to react, and would slam into the rear of my car. And you do sometimes have to hit the brakes because animals appear on the road, deer, turkeys are common. Sometimes even bears. # I've never hit an animal, but I have come close. # There's no way to pass on this road. # I've been in the other driver's place when a tourist is driving 30 in a 45 mph zone, and what do you do? Keep your distance ...

APEX Background Page Processing - The Definitive Gude Sep 19, 2024 · 12 min read Introduction Most enterprise applications have workloads that need to be run in the background. This is often a more efficient use of system resources and also allows users to continue working with your App while the processing takes place. APEX provides two options for background processing: APEX Automations and Background Page Processes . This post focuses on Background Page Processes introduced in APEX 23.1 and aims to give you everything you need to know to get started with this important feature. Advantages Performing long-running processes in the background has the following advantages: More efficient use of the ORDS connection pool . More efficient use of database resources. Move long-running code to run in a different resource consumer group to limit the amount of CPU it can use. Avoid gateway timeout errors when the page process runs for too long. Provide a better user experien...

Hey! ​ If you've ever been writing tests and thought, "is this really the best approach?", had lots of back and forth with co-workers over testing strategy (should it be a "pyramid" or a "trophy", or...), or spent more time writing tests than the actual feature — I've got good news: I'm doing an in-depth workshop series where you'll learn best practices in frontend testing: The factors that determine the testing shape and strategy you should be using Why lots of mocks might be a sign that your code should be refactored How to use MSW to fake the network instead of writing mocks Why writing your component tests like unit tests is costing you time, and making your tests hard to maintain Maximizing ROI by prioritizing the right test cases — and avoiding redundant tests Banish brittleness, and write tests that don't constantly break Plus many other topics! It's fully remote and completely exercised-based, so ...

Wednesday, September 18, 2024 Interesting thread on a simple upgrade for any podcasting client that would create a network of tools people could use for subscribing and listening. I've tried to get people who make podcast clients to listen. Yes I am a user, but I also designed the technology, and did the first implementations, so I know what's possible. # Linkblog items for the day.

Hey there, If you missed it, last week I released a free mini-course on building Vue 3 based Reactivity from Scratch , and already over 1000 people signed up! But I have some more exciting news this week. If you write tests, I've got an advanced workshop series coming up! I've spent the last 6+ weeks doing customer interviews, in-depth research, and putting together this workshop. In it, you'll learn how to: Revolutionize your testing strategy — Discover how to craft a tailored testing shape that goes b...
