Because for 90% of the time, you couldn’t. It was only implemented in iOS 16 or 17 I believe.

What do you use then?

Indeed not in the same league. It’s next level.

FDA open up!

Pretty much the only place where I see them. Let’s hope we can disable it in the future.

I disagree. I like their tech, I think it’s cool how they (nearly?) managed to have an inkjet-like experience for an FDM printer. (As in, click, wait, take off print). However, I got (rightfully, though I say so myself) spooked by the news that their printers started randomly printing worldwide due to an error in their cloud services. That should just not happen. Ever.

Blender is great for decorative/pretty stuff. CAD software is great for functional stuff as pointed out by others. It’s just so much easier to get accurate measurements and dimensions with CAD software compared to blender.

Well, there was the DIN standard for radios back in the day….

The best time was perhaps 30 years ago. The second best time is now.

Last time I hit that wall on Firefox, changing my user agent worked wonders. Don’t tell anyone I told you this. ;)

Exactly. Blame the publisher, not the developer studio here. That’s the case for at least 99% of these kinds of fuckups.

I’m using Philips hue wall switch modules. They’re not cheap, but they allow me to use the switch as a normal switch and even program them to turn on different scenes depending on how I use them. It’s so much nicer to have than the taped down light switch I had at first.

Interesting read, thanks for sharing!

I think the whole step to integrate with the fediverse would have taken too much time and too many resources. Seems like a massive rewrite of the codebase to me, if it wasn’t taken into account from the very start.

Woah, that is neat. Diagonal I would’ve thought of, but conic slicing is quite an ingenious idea.

Mostly just safety from yourself/your own little errors in input, but it can’t hurt for sure! Input sanitation is mostly relevant to fend off script kiddies. Relevant xkcd

Short story, haters gonna hate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Long story, see my comment to the commenter below you. :)

I can see why people might dislike them. Adds some bloat perhaps. But at the same time, I like the idea that my input is definitely sanitised since the ORM was written by people who know what they’re doing. That’s not to say it won’t have any vulnerabilities at all, but the chance of them existing is a lot lower than when I write the queries by hand. A lapse of judgement is all it takes. Even more relevant for beginning developers who might not be aware of such vulnerabilities existing.

Have a look at an ORM, if you are indeed executing plain SQL like I’m assuming from your comment. Sequelize might be nice to start with. What it does is create a layer between your application and your database. Using which, you can define the way a database object looks (like a class) and execute functions on that. For instance, if you’re creating a library, you could do book.update(), library.addBook(), etc. Since it adds a layer in between, it also helps you prevent common vulnerabilities such as SQL injection. This is because you aren’t writing the SQL queries in the first place. If you want to know more, let me know.

It’s a literal translation, and most vacancies are posted in English anyway.

Those terms really aren’t interchangeable over here. At all. (NL). For the reasons I listed above. “Developer” (or “ontwikkelaar” in Dutch) is monkey get instructions, monkey do things. A software engineer would get a request for something, research and figure out the solution, then build it. Source: I’m a software engineer.
