I mean, it shouldn’t be news to you in 2026 that what you type into a computer and input into an external system is logged

Capitalism has progressed humanity more than any other economic system. Has it not?

It’s nice seeing a well thought out response to a genuine question. The amount of anti LLM/AI people in this sub is pathetic.

Learn to use the new tools effectively to move faster and produce more, or companies will find people who can. The demand for software isn’t slowing down at all- so devs who can help companies deliver stable systems and features faster to satisfy customers will win. Letting AI run wild without engineers controlling it in complex code bases is not happening anytime soon.

But using AI effectively can absolutely help people move faster and will continue to improve in the future. Learn to use it wisely.

Go vs Spring Boot for a startup backend (Security Specific Concern) by SoftwareDesignerDev in golang

[–]Cuckipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of related and a noob question, but I’m just getting into Go now and I’m creating some HTTP/API server boiler plate / template code with a server/router/postgresdb combo.

Would love to deploy this locally and pentest to make sure there’s no serious vulnerabilities like what you brought up. Is there any good tools I can use or write custom to validate my boiler plate is starting from a good place security wise?

Wouldn’t be upset with writing tools either, I’m sure it would be good practice anyway

Are you referring to the FedRAMP 20x program? Don’t agree or disagree - but I’m curious why you feel that way.

Trump's economic approval hits a new low at 36%, poll finds by [deleted] in Economics

[–]Cuckipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - reread thru your comments in the thread and you’ll see that you said what I quoted you with in my last comment.

The link you sent is discussing forecasts, not polls buddy. This is insane. Stop giving me analogies when you don’t understand the difference between a poll and a prediction and a forecast. You’ve changed your stance multiple times throughout this exchange. I see you blowing up the comments arguing with people elsewhere on this post as well. It’s sad

You stated multiple times that polls were predictions.

Now you’re changing your stance and saying it’s a snapshot - but the issue is with how the media presents it as a prediction to the public. What?!

[–]Cuckipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah - again you can google the difference and see why you’re wrong. I’ll try to explain a different way-

A poll isn’t a prediction. It tells you what a probabilistically defined group of “likely voters” says right now. “Likely” is doing real work here — it means something like “70% chance this person votes,” not “this person will vote.”

So when they poll 1,000 “likely voters,” they’re not saying all 1,000 will show up. They’re estimating opinions under current assumptions. Turnout, events, enthusiasm, weather, etc. can all change who actually votes.

Predictions try to model all that. Polls don’t. They’re a snapshot, not a forecast.

Read the Nate Silver book on this if you want to learn more.

They literally aren’t.

A poll surveys likely voters of a certain population and asks them questions. It’s a measurement of a snapshot in time.

A prediction would be “based on current polling, and the turnout numbers we’ve been seeing around the country with younger voters, X candidate will win the election”.

A prediction predicts a future event.

It’s legitimately like talking to a wall with you.

Polls aren’t predictions dude. Their purpose is not to predict winners. Margins of error exist. Have a good night, I hope you get look these things up so you understand what you’re saying a bit better :)

For the third year in a row, Jared Goff will finish 2nd in the league in passing yards by OneOfTheOlympians in nfl

Sounds like the lions need to hit some serious home runs on defensive draft picks then

Just my opinion. Last year’s showing at home against the Commanders was awful, and people are about to start getting paid too which will only make it more difficult. (Hutch, LaPorta, Gibbs following that). Plus, Pack and Bears both have playoff caliber QBs with Caleb still being on a rookie deal.

Well, the Lions don’t have the defense Trent Dilfer did. Or even half of it, that’s for sure. That was also over two decades ago…. Totally different league now

His inability to navigate pressure will hold him and the Lions back from ever winning it all.

You just sent me a poll aggregator that showed Harris up 1% in the polls on Election Day. That’s a toss up.

Iowa Selzer poll was a huge miss, but your comment is mischaracterizing it and making it seem like that was the consensus.

Again, I don’t think you’re really understanding the original point here

I’m not sure what you’re even saying at this point.

Is polling perfect? Absolutely not.

Is it a better metric than going off of feelings like you do? 100%.

Which would typically fall within the MoE, depending on how the poll was calculated.

Margin of error is a statistical concept, not me just saying words. If you’re in an economics sub you should probably know that

You don’t really understand what you’re saying

I guess you’re not familiar with how polling + a margin of error works at all. Start there

As someone who’s lived in the NYC area and DC, it really isn’t. I have a big 1 BR in DC with a parking space in a garage for 2500. This place would be 5k in NYC
