why does an API that only accepts json need me to specify in a header that it’s json.

just assume it’s json. you’re gonna parse and validate it anyway.

Re:MongoBleed Explained Simply on Monday December 29, 2025 @01:06AM (#46417916)
Because nobody uses mongo for the reasons you listed. They use redis, dynamo, scylla or any number of enriched KV stores.

Mongo has spent its entire existence pretending to be a SQL database by poorly reinventing everything you get for free in postgres or mysql or cockroach.

Wait, are you talking about cloud providers or LLMs?

can you clarify if you’re talking about China or the US?

This is the same AG who sued Tylenol over autism. While we can applaud the effort (broken clock theory?), it’s all but guaranteed he’s getting paid for helping another entity. Corruption is on the menu and fully expected these days.
Sure, it’s a bug they can fix. But it’s more the setup itself that’s the issue. For example clickhouse’s HTTP interface would normally require user/pass auth and not have access to all privileges. Clickhouse has a table engine that maps to local processes too (eg select from a python process you pipe stdin into).

No need for postgres if you have a fully authenticated user.

because devs will have no clue how their systems work, the only ones who do will be LLMs, gatekept behind an ever-increasing cost-per-usage.
We had the same fear mongering in the 80’s and early 90’s about TV. And in the 20’s and 30’s about radio programs.

Same shit, new generation.

Re:Russia Bans Roblox on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @11:59PM (#46143963)
Incidentally nobody in Russia can read that article because they already banned the BBC and 80 other EU media outlets. And Facebook. And Instagram. And Twitter. And Discord.

This is standard Russian censorship of western media and news.

Yeah I don’t buy this article. Something is off. I run vastly more TPS on a very barebones MySQL install over the network.

Edit: Keep downvoting. I hate this fucking site.

CEO is an autistic dumbass who isn't good at conveying his thoughts. What he could have said: "While we have the best protection of any gaming or social media platform today, any amount of predatory behavior is an unacceptable problem. Roblox has increased from 20M DAUs to 150M DAUs over the last 5 years and the absolute number of these unfortunate incidents has remained flat: an 80% decline in incidence rate. In this way, we view it also as an opportunity: How can we can continue to scale the platform while getting the incidence rate to zero?"

> I sure as shit did my best to monitor and lock down that horrible thing

How much of that "horrible thing" is due to a handful of youtube videos you've seen as opposed to first-hand experiences? What if you found out that the very well-produced youtube videos which regularly attack Roblox have the exact same agenda as the US/UK laws you're opposing?

> is complicit in allowing this type of abuse to continue.

I'm complicit? Get fucked you piece of shit.

> admitting to contacting several kids a day for a year.

Have you ever played online games? "Contacting several kids a day" is how internet chat works. I'm sure if it was up to you kids would only be able to play single player games and stay inside, god forbid they get struck by lightning or eaten by a polar bear.

What do you want gaming to do? Have a checkbox where you swear you're not a pedophile or something? That's on-par for most of these idiotic suggestions of how people seem to fucking think the internet and gaming works, and what sort of actual solution is viable.

Roblox tracks all the chat and hands it over to law enforcement and NCMEC. They restrict chat for . They give ample parental controls to limit chat/friends/interactions. Now they're adding AI-powered age validation (which I think is a terrible idea) just to appease more people like you who can't think critically about the risk, nor apparently have the ability to teach your kids "hey maybe don't talk to creepy strangers who want you to send them images and give them your home address?"
