i'm surprised the agent didn't take into consideration the http status code
that's such a weak argument. you can write about 20 lines of code to do exactly this without requiring a third party library.
So you're saying we should implement age restrictions until the person is deemed mature enough to understand what the implications of their decisions are?

i had the idea of starting a forum based social network that used domain validation (e.g. work domain) as part of your registration and then displayed that as part of your profile.

the idea being that you'd somewhat ensure the person is a human that _may well_ know what they're talking about e.g. `abluecloud from @meta.com`.

pathetic display from their ops team, so little coms and seemingly the exact same thing that brought down nearly the whole of the EU yesterday.

i think the difference from when i grew up is that there were many baby photos of me but they were hard to find and view, you needed to go to the persons house and look through all their photos to find them.

if i look at my brothers kids, their phones will be full to the brim with 1000's of photos of them. we have whatsapp groups filled with their photos.

i wonder how interested they'll be when they're 40 to see these photos. perhaps a few, but all of them?

the sound mix on the video demo is unbearable for me. the vocal is lower than the background music.

good think you dont need to be signed in to play any of the games you've purchased...
completely agree with the aesthetics!

my issue with it that it looked so good, but the architecture felt wrong. in the part with the low ceiling, it felt like those blocks hanging from the roof were defying physics

guess it's a race to the bottom then
does that include food and drink?

yep, definitely a bug - seems like with when getting a winning of aces after the second deal. interestingly if you get a pair of jacks you get your winnings correctly. guessing aces are low.

Re:Reddit.com appears to be having an outage on Monday June 12, 2023 @11:48AM (#36295499)
“A significant number of subreddits shifting to private caused some expected stability issues, and we’ve been working on resolving the anticipated issue,” spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt tells The Verge.

where the hell are they going to fine thousands of willing users to become mods of thousands of communities, overnight?
Re:Reddark: Website to watch subreddits going dark on Friday June 09, 2023 @05:36AM (#36255433)
The thing is, along with all the large subreddits, it's all these niche subreddits that have helped train all these LLM to be able to do the things they can do.

If reddit is thinking that their content is king, then closing subreddits that help generate that content is not ideal for them.

yep. why spend more time to achieve the same effect? as long as you've marked the elements as "invisible" so a screen reader wont read them both out, and it works, what really matters.

of all things, the extra few divs and css isn't gonna cause issues here.

It's honestly like a cult and a desire to want to "do it right" on AWS. The last few projects I've spent so much time setting up code deploy, load balancers, certificates, SES, route 53... This newest project, I've gone to heroku with everything being basically a few clicks to get setup.

no but in a team of thousands of developers it costs a hell of a lot of money in lost productivity.

Re:One Fastly customer triggered internet meltdown on Wednesday June 09, 2021 @08:31AM (#27447144)
Why is everyone banging on about this. It's a blog post from the same day, a decent post mortem takes a while to put together and assuming the bug isn't fully patched across their entire CDN, why would they post the information.
Re:Fastly Outage on Tuesday June 08, 2021 @07:24AM (#27433648)
yeah. the dns was up. the problem was the servers weren't able to proxy the traffic. Also, as you say, you'll probably end up bringing down the upstream servers if you just fail open (and not even sure that'd be a possibility with fastly in it's "down" state that we saw).
Re:Fastly Outage on Tuesday June 08, 2021 @06:48AM (#27433241)
Wonder if all the caches will have been wiped, causing knock on issues
