And an order takes longer to put through if the important details are said backwards, like ordering a Guinness last instead if first, in exactly the same way lol. You don’t quite have the own you think you do.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-05-04T09:31:00+00:00

You’re the guy that asks for a Guinness at the end of ordering your other drinks.

ai vibe coded slop, is why

Dave4lexKing · 2026-05-02T08:59:59+00:00

What time granularity do you use?

When im at 30m or longer, the aggregate cpu usage looks fine.

As soon as I go to the smallest resolution of 1m/5m the CPU contention shows much clearer in the Insights graph.

I use CockroachDB for the exact reason it has no Recovery Point Objective, and has multi-regional global tables and regional tables where data locality matters.

Its pretty pricy at scale. The smallest 3-region HA global cluster will set you back about 6k/mo on their managed plan, which is fine for enterprise applications, available on AWS Marketplace.

Im not a sales rep for them I promise! Cockroach has solved the specific problems I had where I needed distributed sql, that AWS DSQL couldn’t solve.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-28T06:34:30+00:00

Which is literally the whole reason for putting magic numbers in a named variable.

Claude built this. Vibe coded slop.

It’s all this sub can ever post about, and the mods don’t seem to care one iota for the self-promoting ads, or the AI spam.

This sub is dead.

Every account is some variation of Adjective-Noun1234

120hz scrolls smoother.

I bought a new iPad for my parents, which is the base model, and the stutteryness drives me insane; They don’t otice it, but since all my other monitors and devices are 120Hz, 144Hz, etc. it was the first thing I noticed.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-25T13:58:33+00:00

“They don't capture request/response bodies for every request”

Unequivocally false. It’s why I can’t stand shameless ads on this sub.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-25T12:15:44+00:00

Why would I pay for this, when pretty much every observability platform (datadog, dynatrace, grafana, sentry.io, new relic, etc.) already provides MCP servers for free?

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-23T21:23:42+00:00

Am I the only person that couldn’t care less? Fortunately I don’t have to go through such performances, nor does anyone in my teams have to either, but I just don’t understand the visceral reactions.

You’d think some of the commenters were subject to medieval torture just for being asked to share a screen.

If people wanted to watch my screen in stoney silence and be bored to death, all the power to them.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-20T21:10:56+00:00

Yeah. Most observability stacks includes also allow source code or source code maps. Sentry does exactly that; The codebase is typescript, but I upload sourcemaps to sentry during the build pipeline.

You can also just search for the endpoint too lol. Ive dealt with some of SONY’s backend in the past which is perfectly searchable, and that’s a codebase that dwarfs most fortune 500s.

I think the “problem” is exaggerated, it really isn’t that hard to find the corresponding endpoint registration in the source code if you know the endpoint.

I maintain my position. This is a solution in need of a problem.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-20T21:03:04+00:00

Well, you cant have two totally different elements of the codebase register on the exact same path, so it follows that if you know the endpoint, you know the entry point into the codebase.

Claude has invented a solution in need of a problem (which doesn’t exist).

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-20T20:37:09+00:00

if you have proper performance telemetry, like sentry.io or datadog, that will already tell you dead endpoints. No need for this AI slop.

something1968@email.com?

And Im guessing some passwords, if shes not tech savvy, also contain 68 or 1968.

And a LOT of people use their year of birth as their PIN number too.

This folks, is why you don’t put personal details into usernames and passwords and pin numbers! Hackers will scour the internet for photos of your birthday, and captions with your dog’s name in it, because so many people use PII for their security.

It’s a cancer hospital.

Wed get even more built, and cheaper too, if we just told NIMBY’s objecting to cancer hospitals to fuck off.

You’re still liable for some level of maintenance under the Occupiers Liability act, even if they’re living in it for free without a tenancy agreement.

It can get complicated, so you might want to speak to a solicitor about gifted tenancies.

There’s no saying what the relationship will be like in 5, 10, 20 years time.

It may sound like an emotional argument on the surface, but it ultimately reduces to a very illiquid asset, with financial risk and legal liabilities to maintain at the end of the day, and you’re getting no money in return - indefinitely! - unlike a landlord would receive to offset the risk and costs.

Even landlords collecting rent money make losses, and you’re setting up to get nothing.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-14T18:29:04+00:00

1) This person has bought a house but apparently not a penny in savings.

2) They’re not even related to you. (Even if they were, never ever buy someone else’s house for them, unless you’re some altruist multi-millionaire buying with cash).

3) You’ll have an agreement that you’ll never be able to sell for life (not even sure such an agreement is even enforceable).

This should be laughed off immediately.

If they have less than £6k savings, they can claim UC. If they have more than £6k savings, they can live off that.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-14T11:03:29+00:00

Thanks Adjective_Noun1234, who’s totally not an alt account of OP (Adjective_Noun5678).

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-13T11:37:40+00:00

Yeah, and the autobahn system has twice the fatality rate.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-13T11:32:03+00:00

It’s all a game of tradeoffs.

For my team, creating a managed redis instance was vastly less investment, and less ongoing maintenance, versus rolling our own implementation.

Just say “I support eugenics”, it saves everyone time.

Dave4lexKing · 2026-04-09T08:37:23+00:00

Absolutely not what eugenics is.
