@Elendil nope :) the audacity amazes me still
-
Red Hat did that to me with OpenJDK
-
@AlgoRythm well yeah but that's like heralding autopsy as the surgical procedure with the lowest mortality rate
-
I wonder if programmers having no social life is why interviewers ask riddles instead of gauging relevant skills. It's completely irrational, it doesn't even accurately measure the effort invested in practicing for the interview, so I can only imagine it exists to entertain the interviewer.

I didn't know devcontainers is a concrete project, I just used containers for dev directly all this time.
-
nodejs shouldn't really have much system-wide state at all
-
that is an incredibly cool looking font, thanks!

(we have a client-recursive graph walk where the neighborhood relationship is between an unindexed blob and a computed value)
-
architecture so shit the server gets noticeably slower from all the extra logging when I turn on slow query reporting

@Chewbanacas It's company policy, I could not care less if it leads to vulns, but I think Chredge is pretty much as virus resistant as browsers get. It shares an engine with 76% of the browser market after all.
You can only uninstall edge by removing it as a Windows component. I won't try because I have work to do, but Microsoft says pretty explicitly that if you remove stock Windows components shit will break.
That being said, if they have a crumb of common sense, they fall back to the system default browser. They have a toggle for that anyway, only the default behaviour is to force Edge. -
@kobenz it's about malice and oppression invalidating each other. A capitalist fairytale.
-
they get pretty darn close don't they. The client I'm working for is building custom order transformers. Really interesting gadgets. Shame no one has time to appreciate the complexity of the process because the software is so shit that all unallocated hours are spent on unfucking it enough to last until the next unallocated time batch.
-
@Ranchonyx no I mean in the Delphi accent. I think var is great, personally, and I only ever spell out the type if it's unexpected for some reason.
-
@Ranchonyx not var, never var! Full type names everywhere

there are eight billion of us. Trying to be significant is only gonna make you unhappy. The most you should be doing about fame is preparing for it a little bit on the off chance it happens to you, the same way you prepare for a car crash by putting your seatbelt on.
-
More important to me is that most code people write with LLMs should not be written, and instead an abstraction should be developed for it.
-
@idkhow I came home a month ago, I'd been applying throughout the year before that
-
if you don't care that much and your derivative work isn't important, you can risk that a mature hobbyist who publishes under copyleft may just let it slide and not sue you.
-
The only difference between copyleft and PD is that PD can make someone else a lot of money without my consent. That whole sentence. My own licensing doesn't prevent me from issuing separate licences to anyone who cares enough to send me an email with a pitch.

The first job I applied to in Hungary, after a quick and basic online test I was hired. In the interview we pretty much just chatted about my interests and the project, and negotiated the salary.
-
I spent a year applying in London before I gave up and fucked off back to Hungary last month.
-
@Demolishun Between CEO and HR, I'd expect HR to be even less informed about the technology of the company.
-
OAuth is an awful solution, but it's the least complex SSO / third party auth system that is actually safe, so if you want to offer SSO it's your best bet. That's why so many auth providers use it even though it doesn't make them interoperable or hot-swappable.
-
hmm no, the context did not make it any less weird
-
@Lensflare Thanks!
Also to clarify, the first M is the last digit of the month and the second M is the first digit of the month, because the clusters carry place value information -
YM/DY/MD is the best date format

mfw cryptobros use my face for money laundering

@joewilliams007 It's probably not stupid expensive, but at one time they had a lot of traffic and I think they lost interest before the traffic dipped, so I expect there's a lot of expensive scaling infrastructure sitting on the lowest tier, not completely unused but not justifying its upkeep either.
-
in truth, since DevRant++ subscriptions stopped working, dfox will almost certainly notice the uptick in server costs, but hope dies last.

has the official app been removed? It would be so funny and cool if the platform outlived the app!
