Softcadbury··on My lizard brain is no match for infinite scroll
A technique I use to realize how bad it is for my brain, is to try to remember everything I saw after a session of browsing. It's often hard to remember at least half of the stuff.
Softcadbury··on When is OAuth2 and Open ID Connect Useful?
Can't agree more with this article! How I see it, the trend is to have different servers for the front and the back and to link them with OIDC, but that's so painfull to implement and with lot of downsides for only a few benefits (at least with the back in .Net, I don't know about other).
Softcadbury··on Ask HN: What made your business take off that you wish you'd done much earlier?
Guys, you learned nothing ! You are the top comment on HN, you should share the link to your project :)
Softcadbury··on Major breakthrough on nuclear fusion energy
It's in French, but here is a fascinating documentary about ITER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36WpRwY2DYw
Softcadbury··on Show HN: Electric Tables – an experiment in personal databases
I'm not on my computer so I couldn't check, but the bookmarklet opens an iframe right ? I worked on a similar project and unfortunately some websites doesn't allow that. What we end up doing was open it in another window if it was blocked. I could share the code if you're interested
Softcadbury··on Why our team cancelled our move to microservices
Can you say more about that ? I'm a DotNet developer and I don't see how this could be possible without having several applications
Softcadbury··on Companies that had successful pivots
I'm thinking of Epic Games and their game Fortnite. The game was some kind of tower defence at the begining. They swithed to battle royal and made one of the most played video game of all time.

Ok, it's a small pivot, but it changed the company and gave them so much money that they were able to create their own game store (and fight Apple in court).

Could be great to display the favicon of websites you are visiting
Softcadbury··on Netlify Drop
Oups, my connection string is visible by everyone
Softcadbury··on Bitcoin is largely controlled by a small group of investors and miners
Exactly, and they can't influence on the price of the dollar by selling all their assets
Softcadbury··on Samoa Scraps Daylight Saving Time
Is somebody aware about technical impacts of this kind of change ? I mean, it must break tons of softwares that need to be updated no ? Or I'm just too pessimistic
Softcadbury··on Footage of Australian Raven Attacking a Wing Drone in Canberra, Australia
Still better than driving a big SUV I guess...
Softcadbury··on Show HN: Print a WiFi Login Card
Love the source code, so clean. First time I see a makefile used like that with Docker and front commands.
Softcadbury··on Reviews of Android TV launcher after Google added ads to the homescreen
I wonder, does the hardware makers have a word to say about it ? Do they get a cut ? As I see it, it can impact sales (just look at how many times the shield is mention here)
Softcadbury··on Making JavaScript run fast on WebAssembly
For the first call maybe, but then with the cache ?
Softcadbury··on Transition to React Native
I'm never touching mobile development and especially React Native again!

I'm a web developer and a few years ago, I had the opportunity to develop a mobile app. What a nightmare...

Among the new versions of React Native or Gradle breaking everything, all the npm packages suddenly not maintained anymore, the virtual phones not always starting or refreshing, the custom code you add to do in Java and Objective C because RN cannot do everything, and certainly the worst, the deployment on the app store.

Softcadbury··on HTML Sanitizer API
The front-end tends to use optimistic updates more and more, meanings the user's input is directly used, wihtout passing by the server. I guess that's one of the use cases.
Softcadbury··on Don't make customers hunt for the Sign In button on your website
It's even worse when they use terms sign in and sign up, like Github! English is not my native language and it always confuses me.
Softcadbury··on .NET MAUI: .NET Multi-Platform App UI
It remains a framework at the end, same as React. The difference is there is less concurrence, and developers can price up their components.
Softcadbury··on LinkedIn is building a gig marketplace
Can you say more about what these scammers want? Do they want you to work for them for free?
Softcadbury··on Chick Corea has died
Thanks for the story. Sorry, I know nothing about music, how do you paint someone's portrait with a piano? He was able to create a music based on a person?
Softcadbury··on Pixel 5 review: Google spends its bill-of-materials budget unwisely
Same here for both phones after 1 year...
Softcadbury··on Volvo Trucks to launch full range of electric trucks in Europe in 2021
This link is a bit hidden, but quite interesting: https://brochures.volvotrucks.com/hq/product-guides/electrom...
Softcadbury··on Dr. Leonid Rogozov operating himself to remove his appendix in Antarctica, 1961
I love this website! So many interesting photos, like https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/paris-exposition-universell... or https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/cleveland-balloons-1986/
Softcadbury··on Samsung Ads – Demand-Side Platform
Everybody's talking about TVs in comments, but Samsung also mentioned mobile, any idea of the form it can take ? And I guess the next step is cars, as they are also more and more connected...
Softcadbury··on Bubble barriers: a smart solution to plastic pollution in rivers
It comes mainly from Asia because developed countries send their trashes there (in big polluting ships) to be "recycled", so depressing.
Softcadbury··on I accidentally built a nudity/porn platform
Shameless plug! Following this formula, I made an app to have fast access to football results: https://footballpeek.com/
Softcadbury··on In spite of an increase in Internet speed, webpage speeds have not improved
Yes you're right, but keep in mind that with SPA, only the first loading is slower, then you don't need to reload again when changing pages.
Softcadbury··on Everything you need to know about OAuth 2.0
The mechanism of refresh token is also important. You can have a token with a short lifetime, so if someone stole this token, he won't have an infinite access to your data. Of course, this would also be possible with credentials, but you would have to store them (risky) or ask them to the user every 20 minutes (annoying).
Softcadbury··on You've only added two lines – why did that take two days?
And you can add paging, empty states, accessibility, security, browser compatibility...
