Your primary key shouldn't be in the URL

24+ min ago   (169+ words) A sequential integer primary key is a great internal identifier: compact, fast to index, naturally ordered. It is a poor external one, for three reasons: The fix is to stop making one column serve two audiences: Every lookup still has…...

How to Handle Webhook Errors in Make.com

28+ min ago   (1080+ words) Webhooks are one of the easiest ways to connect different tools with Make.com. They are also one of the easiest places for an automation workflow to break. A webhook may receive incomplete data. A field may have a different…...

68,495 Entries. Zero Restarts. I Still Refused to Sign It Off.

41+ min ago   (1661+ words) The run was good. Seventy-two hours unattended. Two systemd units, both continuously active from launch to close. NRestarts=0 on each. Zero stop, start or failure lifecycle markers inside the window. The tracked working tree clean at close, and nothing executable…...

Deduplicating a constant did not stop it drifting

37+ min ago   (816+ words) Most of our app respects the user's theme preference. A handful of marketing and auth pages do not: they are designed dark, they only look right dark, and they render dark whatever your OS says. Implementing that is easy. Keeping…...

Never trust a payment webhook on its first word

54+ min ago   (459+ words) A payment webhook is, structurally, a stranger sending your server a POST that says "this person paid." If your handler believes it, anyone who can reach that URL can mark orders as paid. In Saturdays, where PhonePe settles real money…...

Keeping a browser video and a locally processed audio track in sync — and the 0.2s leak that broke it

1+ hour, 4+ min ago   (451+ words) We build [HaramLite](https://haramlite.com), a desktop app that removes music and instrumentals from video and audio on the user's own machine — no uploads, no accounts, no cloud. This is the story of a sync bug in its browser side, because…...

Why Go + Python Is One of the Most Practical Language Pairings in Modern Software

1+ hour, 7+ min ago   (238+ words) Most language debates online are framed as a competition — Go vs. Python, pick a side. In practice, the more interesting question for a working developer isn't "which one," it's "where does each one actually win, and how do I connect…...

Quick Sort: Fast Sorting with Divide and Conquer

2+ hour, 28+ min ago   (1027+ words) Sorting is everywhere in software. In the previous article, we learned Merge Sort, which can sort an array in O(n log n) time. Quick Sort also uses the Divide and Conquer strategy, but it approaches the problem differently. Instead of…...

Python - Functions: Defining, Calling, Parameters, Return Values & Scope

2+ hour, 25+ min ago   (682+ words) Functions are one of the first "real" programming concepts you hit in Python, and they're also one of the most important. Once you understand how to package logic into a function, you stop repeating yourself and start building code that's…...

LeetCode Problem Statements Be Testing My English More Than SQL

2+ hour, 43+ min ago   (257+ words) Currently, I am solving SQL problems on LeetCode, and believe me, the wording quality of some problems, especially the premium ones, is so poor. After spending the worst 15 minutes trying to understand the question, I finally realise that the problem…...
