> Is this a by-product of some compliance or self-regulatory requirement like ESRB?

Yes, Steam addressed this an announcement a few years ago:

> Q: Why do you KEEP asking my damn age throughout the store?

> A: We're with you on this. Unfortunately, many rating agencies have rules that stipulate that we cannot save your age for longer than a single browsing session. It's frustrating, but know we're filling out those age gates too.

In Ruby that would be

    sleep 3.seconds

Hard to to be more concise than that

I’m definitely not an expert and I haven’t found running postgres any more difficult than mysql. There are some differences that take a bit of getting used to, though.

Yeah, I find they’re best used for data where the creation time is public information, like chat messages or logs

Does browserstack not work for you?

It's supported, but only for NGINX Plus. You can kind of work around it by using proxy_cache_bypass though

I'd love something like this but for docker. I know of Qovery but I've had problems with it, and a CLI application would be better

A couple of lists with tons of resources:

https://blitzjs.com/ does something similar, where you can write server side code inside components and it turns it into an API

I have first hand experience this ,as I was recently diagnosed with reactive hypoglycaemia[1]. The recommended treatment was eating protein and vegetables before carbohydrates, along with daily 12 hour fasting, and within week my symptoms were gone. It's apparently an intestinal issue, where it over-reacts to the presence of carbs when the stomach is empty, and is fairly common in people who have had bariatric surgery.

I’ll add to this and say that people are mostly looking for validation when discussing problems, and that should always be your first response. If you feel you have valuable advice to give, ask them if they want it and make sure they’ll actually be receptive.

Interesting! I imagine this is specific to France as I’ve never heard this in Québec...

This is good advice! I'll check out the book.

I think part of the issue is that a huge chunk of Mozilla's revenue comes from their deal with Google, which expires in a few months is unlikely to be renewed with similar numbers, if at all.

Elevators are a huge problem: a friend of mine told me her employer calculated it would take 24 hours for all employees to arrive at their desks if they follow social distancing rules.

Covid-19 is not an influenza virus, coronaviruses are a different family

South Korea has been doing extensive testing, not just of people presenting symptoms but also tracking their movements to find those they've been in contact with. https://www.france24.com/en/20200311-coronavirus-can-s-korea...

Yes, and many municipalities have rent regulations

If you use npm, there are packages for most (if not all?) google fonts via the Typefaces project, which makes them trivial to self host. https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typefaces

There’s this article on the bbc’s website which I believe covers the same research https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-26089486

Not knowing if something is a property or method is a feature, it’s the principle of uniform access as elaborated by Bertrand Meyer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_access_principle

it takes some getting used to, but it’s now one of my favourite things about Ruby.

The gap has closed but afaik yarn is sill a bit faster

Nice that they've added CSS Module support. I've been using them for my react projects and find them a good solution when you don't need lots of dynamic styling.

For APIs, calver can make a lot of sense, as detailed in Stripe’s blog post on the subject https://stripe.com/en-ca/blog/api-versioning

In Ruby, nil is a singleton instance of NilClass, and defines #nil?, as well as methods to cast to different types e.g. nil.to_a == []. Rails goes a bit further and adds #blank?, which is handy for things that might be nil or empty strings.

Personally, as a full stack developer I prefer having the complexity on the back end, as I find it easier to manage there.

Idempotent means that a given request always has the same result. This GET request fits that definition, since making the same request several times will always return the same thing. The fact that it modifies data means that it’s not safe, but that is a different concern. Remember that PUT and DELETE are also idempotent

Intelligence based on public sources as opposed to clandestine ones. Nothing to do with open source software.
