Hello, I'm new here. Looking to connect with other web developer, coders, programmers, or whatever you call yourselves!
I have this bad habit of buying books but not finishing them. Or reading 1 page a day for 1000 years. Anyone else?

Anyone have solutions to take blog posts or pdfs and transfer them to a distraction free eReader?
I'm happy to invest in a eReader as my paperwhite is too small so up for recommendations :)

Great work by the @svelte.dev @sveltesociety.dev teams! I learned lots and have been sharing my findings with the team :)
One in particular was file keys and better file tree in vscode.

I am wanting to learn so much that I learn nothing at all. Here is on my list:
1. Cryptography
2. C++
3. Distributee systems
4. More advanced web dev.
Any ideas how to learn deeply and in focus without scatter braining myself? :(

I was very lucky to see Dr. Werner Vogels speak last last year.
Here is his last ever keynote at the recent AWS Re:Invent. Highly recommend!

Hi all, I am trying to wrap my head around streams.
An example is sending zip files. We synchronously generate zip files for users to download.
Instead of creating the zip in memory, is there a way to send a stream of it, so we immediately start sending data while generating the zip file?

I learnt about a mix for @elixir-lang.org. But turns out I'm just interpreting the code rather than compiling.

Thoughts on this API authentication flow:
1. Users creates an API secret via a UI
2. We generate a client ID and secret as a base64 encoded string and send this to the client
3. We password hash and salt the secret and store on the db

Is it better to have multiple DB reads if it makes the code simpler or a complex query, but you have a single DB call?
