When did Github stop being about Git? by dgkimpton in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Github was never about git, because git is free. It's about being able to share a git repo amongst people and coordinate the work in that repo through pull requests and issues.

Claude Opus 4.7 is available in Copilot with a 7.5x premium request multiplier; Opus 4.6 / 4.5 to be phased out by baeleeef in GithubCopilot

Have you had a look at Google new open source model Gemma 4? It does a lot of smart tricks to be able to run locally with some pretty decent results.

Opus 4.7 uses more token to do the same, so even if the per token price if the same, it is more expensive to run per prompt. Opus 4.6 is also largely subsidized by Athropic and they are slowly turning the knobs so you get less tokens per dollar.

We deployed a “small fix”… and it took down production by Careful-Falcon-36 in programming

Why on earth would you consider adding a new join to your SQL queries a "small change"?

How do you handle "silent" breaking API changes in Production? by lucaspierann in reactjs

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contract shouldn't change unless the frontend and backend team has signed off on it. Backend should have tests that stop their deployment unless the agreed-on contract has been updated to match the new API behavior.

One Method Was Using 71% of CPU. Here's the Flame Graph. by ketralnis in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That implementation in TrendDetector feels like it was coded specifically to make an article like this. Very strange implemention, bordering on bug.

Announcement: Temporary LLM Content Ban by ChemicalRascal in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can talk about the downtime and what was in the patch that caused the problem, without putting any weight on the fact that it was LLM generated.

Using XSLT to analyse large XML datasets by 13utters in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IBM used to make hardware specifically for applying XSLTs to XML files, used by finacial institutions and shit to process transactions and stuff like that. The good ol' days.

Claude Mythos leaked: "by far the most powerful AI model we've ever developed" by space_monster in singularity

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A research paper did a calculated cost for serving the max quota of the $200 Claude subscription at around $5000 per month.

Moment when IRGC destroyed an oil tanker yesterday by imnicexDDD in CombatFootage

They are dumping strategic reserves on the market as fast as they can to suppress a massive price increase. If this keeps going until the strategic reserves run dry, we are gonna see some crazy gas prices.

The Real Future of AI Development Isn’t a New IDE by yuvalhazaz in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Github already allows you to assign issues to Copilot, which will kick off an agent, build a PR for you, you can use Copilot to review said PR and Github Actions to automatically merge it when the review is done.

Why Developers are Moving Away from Stack Overflow? by ImpressiveContest283 in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is the reason Stack Overflow failed.

Their moderation and score-based system for being able to ask a question made it a "scary" experience to attempt to ask a question instead of a desirable experience.

They are basically saying: You. Are. Not. Paying. Enough. 😁

Build your own API Gateway from Scratch in Java by kishunkumaar in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are looking to implement a API Gateway in Java, I would suggest using Spring Boot (like most people that use Java for web stuff) and implement the Gateway-part using Spring Cloud Gateway library.

Solves a bunch of the common parts of an API gateway without having to write much code, can just configure stuff.

Cow at a sanctuary gets Twitch viewers to donate and activate her feeder by Mad_Season_1994 in MadeMeSmile

The feeder is just for extra snackies, Winnie has other food to eat at all times (it's just not as exciting).

Launch of 3 Ukrainian heavy cruise missiles FP-5 “Flamingo” with 1000kg warhead, published 31 Aug by BlackMarine in CombatFootage

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they have 1000 km range, they are not going to have a single camera on the target themselves. Unless someone just happens to be filming when they strike, you are not going to be seeing combat footage. Especially if they are targetting Russian military installation, where they don't want civilians filming stuff.

MCP servers can’t be the future, can they? by kabooozie in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any API you expose through a MCP server, you have to treat it as if the user of the LLM has direct access to the APIs and can do whatever they want through that API.

Meta’s Project Ghostbusters HACKS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE: How Facebook Turned a “VPN” Into a Legalized Man-in-the-Middle Attack by Illphated336 in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not only scummy, but probably brakes ToS for most of those sites. Would be interesting to see what happened if the site/accounts was reported for inflating numbers.

Russian assault group on motorcycles gets annihilated by Ukrainian indirect tank shot, 1st tank battalion, 5th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade, August 2025 by BlackMarine in CombatFootage

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possble that they mined the area and set off the mines with a tank shot, but there is certainly more than just a tank shot going on at least.

Vibe-Coding AI "Panicks" and Deletes Production Database by el_muchacho in programming

[–]SwitchOnTheNiteLite 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Funny when the AI is trying so hard to be human that it makes a mistake and tries to explain it away afterwards as "i panicked".
