I struggle to find the benefits of #Spring #R2DBC. It's a full rewrite of #JDBC API using non-blocking I/O. However, typical application shouldn't open more than a handful of DB connections. So, just a few threads blocked on I/O (plus some threads queued up) shouldn't be an issue. Unless you want to be purely reactive or you are connecting to massively scalable database. But in that case, virtual threads come in handy. So what's the point? #Java #reactive

Handy script to download #MP3 from any #YouTube video:

 -v "$(pwd)":/workdir:rw \

The following #JavaScript code runs asynchronous save() function sequentially for each item and waits for the last one to finish:

for(i of array) {
await save(i)
}

On the other hand, this runs all save() functions concurrently and doesn't wait for any to finish, losing exceptions. await keyword changes nothing:

array.forEach(async (i) => {
await save(i)
})

That's because lambda passed to Array.forEach function returns a promise, but forEach ignores whatever was returned

"#MySQL's Repeatable Read still allows G2-item, G-single, and lost update. [...] Repeatable Read also violates internal consistency. Furthermore, it violates Monotonic Atomic View: transactions can observe some of another transaction’s effects, then later fail to observe other effects of that same transaction. We demonstrate violations of ANSI #SQL’s requirements for Repeatable Read" https://jepsen.io/analyses/mysql-8.0.34

Why #Spotify #Backstage was born: "[...]and it was called rumor driven development. What we meant was you had to know who actually had once upon a time written something in a system. And then you tap them on the shoulder and ask, are you the right person to ask about this API? And then they would forward you to the next one, to the next one, to the next one, and finally you would find your team" | https://corecursive.com/platform-takes-the-pain/#rumor-driven-development by Pia Nilsson #developerPlatform

why don't bug trackers have recurring tasks like todo list apps?

there are so many things i want to do in my frontend projects on a weekly or monthly basis, and having to remember them myself (or use a separate app) makes important things fall through the gaps.

e.g i want to check my dependencies for updates and known vulnerabilities at least every two weeks. once a month i want to check that the instructions for setting up a local dev environment are up to date.

but as far as i can tell, no bug tracker allows me to set up these tasks to repeat every X days/weeks/months and have them auto-assigned to me.

Nolan should've made the #Barbie movie as well, set in the same universe as #Oppenheimer. Imagine following Barbie's adventures in France, then being hired by American intelligence, and finally starting a new life in Argentina and Bolivia.

Sadly, Barbie is not put on trial in the Hague, where other German war criminals were sentenced. But justice eventually found him in the 1980s, and he received a life sentence. The movie waiting to happen!
