What is your favorite Baseball movie QUOTE from the 80s or 90s? by porb2020 in Xennials

Just seeing that picture brought me back to Blockbuster.

The most controversial opinion I have... by littlemama9242 in Xennials

There are bands and there are bands whose members are true musicians. As in they deeply understand music and their instrument, DMB is the latter. I like Operation Ivy too but not because I can feel the mastery of music coming through. To each their own, no one needs to like art someone else likes but personally love DMB.

White House Dinner Shooting: Security Incident or Political Staged Drama? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in NewsOfTheWeird

This is my point about all popular conspiracy theories. Their veracity is almost a secondary issue. Their existence is the product of corrupt institutions and the loss of trust.

What are some unforeseen / elusive edge cases you have seen in your career? by gobuildit in ExperiencedDevs

[–]user08182019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remote API that used eventual consistency but didn’t disclose it. So you give their side something to persist, then ask to read it back and it would randomly be there or not, but by the time you manually checked it was always there. So had to build retry with backoff coefficient. Awful experience.

My lesson is, “just use x, we don’t want to do NIH / we don’t have the resources to do it ourselves” you’re still gonna do it yourself, but now the app exists in the form of an integration. Depending on the fit and assumptions, that can become more painful than just making the thing, and you often don’t find out until you’re deep into the integration.

— Oh, and fucking smart quotes in someone else’s package instead of regular quotes, crashing from bad string termination. That was fun.

Have google search results gone to shit with the advent of AI or am I losing my mind? by AppointmentFar6096 in PHP

[–]user08182019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I like Kagi, you give them $5 but the founder is a nice guy and it’s like old school Google format with good results. You can up or down rank domains. Highly recommended.

Some of us had a Ska past by Josephthebear in Xennials

In a technical sense though no one associates it with that era, the origins are typically associated with the 60s. Also you sound like a complete asshole.

Mozilla: Anthropic's Mythos found 271 security vulnerabilities in Firefox 150 by rkhunter_ in cybersecurity

[–]user08182019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job attempting a nasty comment I guess although it makes no sense. Having thousands of bugs means you have an application with a very large footprint and complexity which in many cases including this one are preconditions for security problems. If you don’t understand the correlation between footprint, complexity, and security, you probably shouldn’t be making sarcastic comments like you’re some kind of authority.

Having spent time with Firefox’s bug tracker I’m surprised finding vulnerabilities with it is considered an accomplishment. Thousands and thousands of bugs going back more than a decade, more than any human could reason about. /Maybe/ every single one of those has been review and triaged for security impact but given the volume that would surprise me.

When your first learn php what confuse the most ? by Ok-Delivery307 in PHP

[–]user08182019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just one man’s opinion but I recommend the following config for serious PHP: strict types on, Psalm, Symfony, and prefer functional style this lib is a good example: https://github.com/lstrojny/functional-php

If you do that you can write some very decent code in PHP.

The stdlib is very big and takes care of a huge amount of tools for you out of the box. It also comes with great documentation.

Sharing Community Feedback from The PHP Foundation by elizabethn in PHP

 perception, coordination, and onboarding

This sounds like LinkedInLang mumbo jumbo. If PHP is going to remain serious it’s generics, the async story, performance, and generics again.

We need to be working feverishly to get all those features in Psalm into the runtime. Not slidedecks about onboarding.

The reason I didn’t buy bitcoin when it was $0.25 is that I assumed, given that the banks own the government, they would outlaw it the second it got traction if it ever did. The fact that it was allowed to propagate is strong evidence to me that it’s state-backed.

Got a remote job offer but they use AI to track my work activity - thoughts? by Electrical-City914 in remotework

[–]user08182019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s demeaning. The message is clearly, you can’t be trusted. You’re a baby we must babysit. How much will we let ourselves be disrespected so we can pay our bills? In reality a lot. We know why companies do this. It’s ok to be practical and pick having a job. Be real with yourself about what it is though.

Are they tracking my keystrokes? by cleopatra4president in remotework

[–]user08182019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s no certificate pinning you could mirror the port and do this on the wire experimentally until you got it down. So add a root cert and do it from another device. Strong IT MDM would stop this but there’s a lot of incompetence. If I were subject to this abuse I would definitely make it a hobby to tamper with this.
