That was just really poor strategy by somebody who should not be in charge of the FTC. Major fuck up.

Thanks for the reply, forms are such a pain in the ass. Of course you need hard input sanitizing on the backend but just helping people fill out a form correctly can require some JS.

Interesting. When you say pay money do you mean as in paying for Azure resources, or paying EXTRA for somebody to pick up the phone?

…And you’re only one mistake away from the spam/abuse detection bot from locking you out of your account and shutting off your business for 12-72 hours.

Curious what you mean by “almost always something” that makes you use JS? What besides shitty/illegal tracking code and cookies do you need to include? Honest question.

My least favorite JavaScript argument is “Instead of using one good language for the backend and one lousy one for the front end, we’ll rewrite ALL the code in the lousy language to keep it easy!” I fail to understand why anybody would use

I think Google and Facebook ended up surpassing the old Microsoft evil, then regulators took the eyes of Microsoft, then after slowly testing the waters, they are going hardcore into all kinds of shady shit. Windows OS is basically just a w

Going to go with “no, you don’t need to be rich to sue”. Likewise to be included in a class action you don’t have to pay anything, or even participate any way, you just get a cut of the settlement.

The production of knowledge needs to be funded as it isn’t “free”. Copyright and licensing is one model that has worked for a long time. It has flaws, but it has produced good things. At this point with the quality of current web content an

Oh I don’t currently have it in my stack per se, more that it is all over the damn place and can do a ton.

Almost everything is faster if you can precompute.

I had done something similar recently. Goal was to take a huge Postgres database and make it searchable and usable. It ended up that doing a offline batch job to boil down the much bigger dataset into a single pre-optimized table was the b

Lol, you’re using it “in production” right now! SQLite is everywhere, almost definitely in the browser you’re using to view this post.

And people are happier! I’m amazed at the pure joy you see on Threads. I’m not a huge fan, bit too normie for my taste, but to see the internet are people happy for a change is great.

I have a oneohtrix point never album on blu ray that is stunning in atmos with zero compression. But that’s it, nothing else available.

Atmos on headphones is negligible, but on a surround sound system it can be awesome. Eno isn’t a fool.

The really messed up part for me is that the “real” results are getting so bad the ads are increasingly what I’m searching for. It’s not a web search engine, it’s an ads search engine.

It’s a skinned version of Bing and Microsoft has forbade them from introducing any chat-based functionality. Hence their little demo going away quickly and quietly. I also use it, but if Bing starts to make real gains and Microsoft thinks m
