    The Thirty Million Line Problem

  • I have an apostrophe and it’s super annoying as some companies see it as a SQL injection hack and sanitize it.

    My surname contains a character that's only present in the Polish alphabet. Writing my full name as is broke lots of systems, encoding, printed paperwork and even British naturalisation application on Home Office website. My surname was part of my username back at uni, and everytime I tried to login on Windows, it would crash underlying LDAP server, logging everyone in the classroom out and forcing ICT to restart the server.

  • I would like to confine it to firms using AI recruiting tools

    and actively do damage to companies that don't.

    Exploring How Cache Memory Really Works

  • Old issue, so why post it now make it sound like MS demands something?

    It's a regression, so ffmpeg should fix a regression.

    "Prolly Tree" is short for "Probabilistic B-tree"

  • Just not in Java…

    I think you're biased against Java. Amazon was started in C/C++ and Java J2EE during times when to configure a webserver required writing like 300 lines of XML just to handle cookies, browser cache and a login page. Until recently BMW had their own JRE implementation. It's not a secret that simcards, including these in Tesla cars run JavaCard too, even government issues sim cards in EU have to run Java Card, not C++. Everything was always fine with Java until ECMA Script appeared and made people iterate on software versions faster. New programming languages and team organisation methodologies left some programming languages in the dark, but this included C# too. All are quickly catching up. If Java was so bad, it wouldn't be here with us today, like Perl.

  • There are two schools:

    1. the best stack is the one you know best
    2. the best stack is the one designed for the job

    Remember that Google was written in Python and Java. Facebook in PHP. iOS in Objective-C. GitHub in Ruby on Rails.

  • After doing it for 15 years, I must be good at it and everything should be easy.

  • So while I'm myself struggling to fully understand what this is, it conceptually like it's a blockchain on syncthing, where even if you subscribe to a read only share, you can locally delete what you don't want to keep. So technically you could make bitorrent to behave like syncthing with search function for contacts you already know.

  • Heres the blog post about the change dated in June this year

    Half year too late for that outrage anyway :)

  • Fantastic way to start a shitstorm. You people don't even use search function logged out, because if you did, you would know they changed it in 2016. Microsoft has nothing to do with it.

  • Yeah, fuck Microsoft. They haven’t changed at all.

    GitHub changed that a few months before acquisitions talks even started lol

  • Yes

  • You're telling me about compiling JS, to my story that is so old... I had to check. and yes, JS existed back then. HTTP2? Wasn't even planned. This was still when IRC communities weren't sure if LAMP is Perl or PHP because both were equally popular ;)

  • you are supposed to have written the tests and to have written your code with pair programming,

    I commented out the tests because they were failing, pipelines were green so I merged. Now it's running on prod. What do you do?

  • Yes

  • Blog content was stored in memory and it was served with zero-copy to the socket, so yea, it's way faster. It was before times of php-fpm and opcache that we're using now. Back then things were deployed and communicated using tcp sockets (tcp to rails, django or php) or reading from a disk, when the best HDDs were 5600rpm, but rare to find on shared hosting.

  • Yes

  • Before nginx was a thing, I worked with a guy who forked apache httpd and wrote this blog in C, like, literally embedded html and css inside the server, so when he made a tpyo or was adding another post he had to recompile the source code. The performance was out of this world.
