Re:OpenAPI v4 Proposal on Wednesday May 31, 2023 @10:56PM (#36147112)
There are various tools that will do some of this, utoipa [1] for rust and play-swagger [2] for scala + play that I've used in the past and enjoyed. They generate a significant portion of your spec for you, then a client can be generated from the spec.

Yes it is?
Re:Get Smart with SmartOS on Tuesday December 04, 2018 @09:57AM (#18599905)
I wanted to like SmartOS, but the documentation for Arch really had me spoiled. The Joyent/SmartOS docs are a mess of information for different versions that really aren't conducive to a confident first time user. That and it had problems with a pretty vanilla supermicro build. It did pick up my linux ZFS pool without a problem though, which was a nice surprise.

In my experience this is no longer the case, anecdotal of course.

Re:Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review on Tuesday August 08, 2017 @10:41AM (#14958211)
I'm fairly happy with my t540p, even has a socketed CPU for replacement. They're fairly cheap on eBay right now because they just came off lease from some larger companies.
Re:Ryzen is for Programmers on Tuesday May 02, 2017 @12:18AM (#14243931)
I still don't really see the pro to Ryzen in this case. It would be cheaper/better to get a couple used sandy bridge era (or newer in some cases) xeons off ebay with a dual socket motherboard in the multithreaded case, or get an i7-7700 for single threaded performance while still having a reasonable amount of cores+threads to play with.
Re:Razer targets perfect Linux support on Friday March 03, 2017 @01:45PM (#13785079)
This is for their razor blade laptop, are you really going to avoid their entire line up because of that?
I can't wait for the day when ISPs are held accountable for failing to provide the speeds we pay for.

Most EULAs prohibit it, probably not.

Re:Warcraft fans' fury at Blizzard over server closure on Friday April 15, 2016 @01:48PM (#11506259)
It is that easy, Nost did it. The WoW clients run perfectly fine on modern machines.
Re:Warcraft fans' fury at Blizzard over server closure on Friday April 15, 2016 @01:46PM (#11506239)
Have you played the current version of WoW and the vanilla version? They are radically different games. Those who were playing on nost were _never_ going to pay to play retail as it exists now. Blizzard cannot lose business to a private server that the would have never had in the first place.

Re:PayPal does not know how to detect fraud on Wednesday September 02, 2015 @12:08PM (#10160179)
"... way to get really cheap domains that I can turn a very generous profit on via domain parking"

Lost all respect for the author once I read that. Squatting on domains and making people who want to legitimately use the domains pay far above market rate is ridiculously scummy.

Apple has rather draconian anti-reverse engineering fine prints in most of their eula.

One would imagine that raid cards would be an equally appealing attack vector.
