(Sorry of the dupes, forgot to turn on debug mode on my script while debugging a cross-posting issue)

Santa came late this year, but at least he made it just in time for my birthday!

TIL about server-side caching strategies (cache-aside, write-through, etc). Better late than never.

After 8 months of writing “This Week I Learned”, I’d like to try out a more spaced out frequency starting this month. Beside alleviating some of the pressure, the increased gap between the learnings and the synthesis is likely to help me remember things for longer!

The "users won't be able to tell the difference" argument for Electron apps falls apart like a house of cards after every major OS release. It's a weak argument to begin with, but these transition periods widen the chasm between proper native apps and all the other junk.

After updating my main partition to Big Sur, I noticed that my Japanese keyboard input sources entirely disappeared, from both the switcher and Preferences. Anyone else came across this bug?

To say that my study and work experience in the US shaped the person I am today would be an understatement. I purposefully stay clear of discussing politics with strangers, especially online, but it warms my heart to see that love and compassion prevailed this week.

There is a lot to learn still, especially on the voice recording side, but I needed to start somewhere ¯\_(シ)_/¯
