Damn removing the r34 subreddit really is the end of an era.

You missed the point:

The original creator of a thing does not control the current usage.

It’s analogous.

Theory is fine but in the real world I’ve never used a REST API that adhered to the stateless standard, but everyone will still call it REST. Regardless of if you want it or not REST is no longer the same as it’s original definition, the same way nobody pronounces gif as “jif” unless they’re being deliberately transgressive.

403 can be thrown for all of those reasons - I just grabbed that from Wikipedia because I was too lazy to dig into our prod code to actually map out specifics.

Looking at production code I see 13 different variations on 422, 2 different variations of 429…

403 is a category, not a code. Yes I know they’re called http codes but REST calls are more complex than they were in 2001. There are hundreds of reasons you might not be authorized.

Is it insufficient permissions? Authentication required? Blocked by security? Too many users concurrently active?

I’d argue the minimum for modern services is:

403 category
Code for front end error displays
Message as default front end code interpretation

As json usually but if you’re all using protobuf, go off King.

There’s a solid reason for goto in C.

Bringing goto into Java was (and is) idiotic.

If you’re trying to squeeze every ounce of performance out of your code then you’ll need those optimizations.

But any higher level language than C the entire point is to write easily maintainable and useful code that any idiot can go, read and update. A goto is antithetical to readability.

True it wasn’t mindless - just idiotic

Because none of the crew can step foot on American soil. It’s a Singaporean vessel with an Indian and Sri Lankan crew. They don’t have visas and so they’re denied entry.

The bureaucracy of DHS knows no limits and has no compassion.

Right but instead of a toy language there’s Kotlin which is already multiplatform.

I just struggle to see why another language needed to be invented to do this.

I’m mostly just biased because I do native mobile development but flutter has always seemed like a false economy to me. You’re trying to build cross platform but it’ll take more than 2x as long as building each platform to get the same quality of experience. So either you have a shittier experience or you take even longer than true native dev.

But I’m obviously very biased here.

They’re probably not using python for AI

You shouldn’t have ever been recommending dart or flutter.

Python ain’t going anywhere tho

Sure but interpretations like pilot wave have more evidence against them than for them and while multiverse is deterministic it’s only technically so. It’s effectively probabilistic in that everything happens and therefore nothing is determined strictly by current state.

Fair - it’s not that we know it’s not: it’s that we don’t know that it is.

Probabilistic is equally likely as deterministic - we’ve found absolutely nothing disproving probabilistic models. We’ve only found reinforcement for those models.

It’s unintuitive to humans so of course we don’t want to believe it. It remains to be seen if it’s true.

Slay the Spire 2 is amazing news and the best possible outcome for the original.

They’ve gone off unity. STS is one of the more popular indie games and now it has full Godot implementation. It’s huge for the foss community. It’s huge for MegaCrit, the fully indie studio with no investors to answer to.

Very excited for sts2

Absolutely! It’s a common misconception about neurons that I see in programming circles all the time. Before my pivot into programming I was pre-med and a physiology TA - I’ve always been interested in neurochemistry and how the brain works.

So I try and keep up with the latest about the brain and our understanding of it. It’s fascinating.

You’re implying that physical characteristics are inherently deterministic while we know they’re not.

Your neurons are analog and noisy and sensitive to the tiny fluctuations of random atomic noise.

Beyond that: they don’t do “if” logic, it’s more like complex combinatorial arithmetics that simultaneously modify future outputs with every input.

Price limits and such are fine but you can’t beat generics for putting pressure on price.

You can squeeze the rich for 2 years then it’s generic

1. When do they lose the patent
2. Can we please make drug companies lose their parents faster?

Different strokes - some would find what I’m doing hell. I personally love it.

The 260k/yr salary may help alleviate the pain.
