Syncing all the things [LWN.net]
Computing devices are wonderful; they surely must be, since so many of us have so many of them. The proliferation of computers leads directly to a familiar problem, though: the files we want are always on the wrong machine. One solution is synchronization services that keep a set of files up to date across a multitude of machines; a number of companies have created successful commercial offerings based on such services. Some of us, though, are stubbornly resistant to the idea of placing our data in the hands of corporations and their proprietary systems. For those of us who would rather stay in control of our data, systems like Syncthing offer a possible solution.
Recommended Pagination for APIs | Picky speaker
The problem Your API needs to return a list of entities. The list can be quite big, even if you designed useful filters. Most of the time a client doesn’t need the entire list because: UX will suffer. If you have a frontend application, users don’t need to scroll thousands of entities at once. Performance will suffer. This happens both on a client and backend. The client needs to parse and render all retrieved entities, backend needs to read them all from a database.
