So this can be avoided by using react like a normal person... client side rendering + bundled with vite

It's incredible how different the programming in 2025 can be if you work in a different kind of company.

Hi! from what I can tell, the data for the API I used was mostly taken from wiktionary. However since "orwellian" has an entry Wiktionary, i think the API must be somewhat out of date.

Good call, AI-Gen code is the same as most copied code, it might work, but you won't know why, which means that further development will be more difficult.

They don't even observe DMCA, and they still did this?

Not really a postmortem in my opinion. While they did answer the central question of "why", I feel like a proper postmortem should question the problem more.

I don't think any well adjusted person ever has actually wanted this

Genuinely one of my favourite posts here

I have only worked with mssql and postgres, but I enjoyed postgres much more. It has a lot of quality of life features that make my life easier.

It sounds really stupid now, but I was working with threads in Java. There are two ways to implement a thread, either implementing the interface runnable or extending the class thread. I originally had a class that implemented runnable with a custom method called getState(). To initialize a thread while using runnable, you have to pass the runnable object to a thread as a constructor parameter. The class thread also has a method called getState() and I spent an embarrassing amount of time wondering why I had totally different values than expected.

A monumental achievement, especially when the EU average is only 18%.

Probably going to keep using RP4 model, as I don't use it to do anything performance heavy, but it's good to know that there is an upgrade available.

I hope he recovers, he's a programming legend.
