(Ben Nadel) Yesterday, I came across an interesting Closure behavior in Lucee CFML. It seems that the way in which you define a Closure completely changes the variables that the Closure has access to (ie, the variables that it “closes over”).

(Peter Vogel) I’ve done a couple of recent columns about securing Blazor Components and using claims-based policies declaratively in ASP.NET Core generally.

(Peter Vogel) Let’s say you’ve gone to the trouble of creating a CustomerRepository object with a static method called GetCustomerById. Something like this, in other words:

(James Sinclair) Algebraic Structures are something I wish I’d understood better, sooner. I had a hazy idea of what they were, but didn’t know the correct terminology. That was a massive barrier to finding out more.

(Ben Nadel) At InVision, the amount of work that we do in the Application.cfc ColdFusion framework component is a bit staggering. Not only are we setting up all of the Lucee CFML mappings, custom paths, data-sources, SMTP servers, and cache configurations, we’re also defining hundreds of FW/1 routes
