Re:As AI gobbles up chips, prices for devices may rise on Monday December 29, 2025 @09:18AM (#46421000)
Real consequences need to be implemented such as prison time or ideally death penalty. But sadly we’ll never see that happen
Tell me you’re a junior dev/script kiddie without telling me
Re:We reduced a container image from 800GB to 2GB on Sunday November 02, 2025 @08:12AM (#45790053)
Literally. They know nothing about anything, not just containers. This is what happens when you give people who can make a hello world html page actual work.

I thought this was obvious. Then I remembered that the kids who wrote this blog spam are likely junior JavaScript script kiddies, not real engineers.

It won’t get much better because that’s just a limitation of how 10GBASE-T works. There’s never a good reason to use it. Always just use a DAC or fibre.

DAC is always the best option for short runs in terms of cost and compatibility.
Re:AI can code, but it can't build software on Tuesday October 28, 2025 @11:36AM (#45734252)
You’re right, nobody on here is a script kiddie. They’re all professionals making buttons change colours with JavaScript.
Re:Meta is axing 600 roles across its AI division on Wednesday October 22, 2025 @03:05PM (#45673671)
100% spot on. It boggles the mind how many corporate simps are out there. You'd think it's rare, but no. Most people really are that dumb.
Re:The Programmer Identity Crisis on Tuesday October 21, 2025 @02:58PM (#45660059)
100% agreed. It’s just full of business assholes and vibe coder script kiddies now. Everything has turned to shit.

Sounds like a mediocre developer. No respect for people like you.

This is actually pretty terrible. Apart from the things “okanat” said, the site is a nightmare in terms of UI and extremely buggy. I didn’t realize modern websites could get this bad.
Re:YouTube downloaders (and how Google silenced the press) on Friday September 19, 2025 @10:13PM (#45309536)
Very easy to remove it with an HDCP remover like HDFury, or even an HDCP downconverter and then using the known master keys to decrypt that.
Re:YouTube downloaders (and how Google silenced the press) on Friday September 19, 2025 @10:03PM (#45309442)
Yes actually you can. But you don't even need to go that far, there are HDCP converters that do it for you and convert to HDCP 1 (whose master keys have been made available) or just plain HDMI. See HDFury etc.
If Docker is in any way _required_, it's still a dealbreaker.
Re:Shipping forgettable microservices with Rust on Friday June 24, 2016 @12:58PM (#11971450)
I'm not a fan of Go, but the connection pooling in the standard library doesn't leak. You're just not closing the Rows object if you encounter an error. It automatically closes if you fully iterate through it. But if you stop part way, you have to manually close it or the connection will not be returned to the pool.
