How does YouTube track your viewing activity?

youtube uses cookies, session storage, local storage, and indexedDB. They also have a couple of service workers running and I see a bunch of POSTs to a log endpoint with a fairly large payload of events, there are also some GETs but I have tracking blocked so I can't see the response. Pretty...

(ab)using SQL to write whole programs

well, it depends on what stored procedures/functions/triggers actually do. Business logic does not belong in the data layer, and the database should only concern itself with providing and storing data as efficiently as possible. I see this problem a lot with old farts that are a little too...

Should I be learning .NET at this point?

The environment can be exactly the same or completely different depending on what you want to do. ASP.NET Core can run on regular old .Net or it can run on dotnet core. With dotnet core you can deploy it as framework dependent (Where you'll have to install the runtime and libraries on the...

Quick / Simple / Safe e-commerce platform?

Personally I would build it myself, mostly for fun, but (and this is a big but) I currently work for a company that provides custom, large scale eCommerce solutions (my team handles a Eurostoxx 50 corporation). I am a software engineer, I have experience, I know best practices, I know CMSs...

How hard is it to create a simple database search using HTML/Java?

I could make this in two hours flat, but it'll take a bit longer than that for you :) I'd personally use: ASP.net core with an nginx reverse proxy in front. Elasticsearch a vue.js frontend (or if i needed to do it really quick: angularjs, but that's only because I've worked with it so much, by...

Possible to automate/schedule sql developer query?

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!! *furiously douses the whole room in holy water* Debugging SSIS is a nightmare. We've used it for integrations on some of our older projects and have had terrible experiences.

Cigarettes to E-Cigs, who's done it?

made the switch a couple of months ago, still smoke sometimes when I'm out drinking with other (party)smokers, but I don't crave cigarettes at all anymore, they smell and leave a disgusting taste. I usually have a pack of cigarettes on or near me but I never feel like taking one out unless I'm...

When you program, how wide is your editing window ?

for some reason, I only really use multiple editing windows in VS Code, I'm more of a Tab'er, which is why I opted for a single large monitor rather than several small ones, I'd only use 1 monitor 90% of the time.

Is programming fun ?

yes, although not as much by itself. I enjoy the whole lifecycle, taking it from just a vague idea in the clients head to finished solution in production (agile only though). I'd be bored if I was just a monkey with a wrench.

being part of the ultrawide masterrace (34" 21:9), pretty wide... I'm a C# developer though, so by convention, my lines don't get very long.

Physical, downloads, or streaming music for you?

Creating Mobile App for Website

Web Api is my favorite tool for building webservices, followed by servicestack. I'd rather drag my manly bits through broken glass covered in diesel and aids than work with WCF. the big issue in my eyes is going to be the search, since I imagine that you'd like to use facets, and facets on a...

Development of Swimming Athlete image recognition system

it's possible to do as a research project at a university with current tech, I'm not sure how good the system would be however. this is a problem best solved with machine learning imo, and with machine learning in its infancy there isn't any off the shelf tech that can do what you're asking...

ASP.net MVC vs ASP.net Webforms

A RESTful web service is just a web service that follows certain conventions to make it predictable. There should be no gotchas and surprises for the person using the web service if they are already familiar with RESTful web services.
