My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.

If the word isn’t considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.

I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn’t negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it

Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.

I rest my case

Handicapped people might disagree

I would just have Postgres running statically on some solid hardware. It’s easy to configure permissions and connections, too.

Not too hard to set up streaming replication for a hot standby if you wanna be sure (or offload some reads).

I use Postgres btw

Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren’t available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.

That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.

If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box…

Postman is literally the only GUI I use for development, except for a browser I guess. Everything else is in terminals/WSL2 at work

Is this your first attempt at emoji pasta?

Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo… Why won’t they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn’t interface with anything else?

Lots of languages are typeless and the standard library is weak because web (NodeJS is good but npm is shit)

All of those things are by design and comparing JS to a fully fledged OOP language is just the sign of a clueless developer.

The JS standard is well defined and compatibility has nothing to do with the language itself

This is a problem for any web application. There are many solutions, none are perfect.

On some sites (like 4chan) you’re required to solve a captcha every single time you post, unless you pay a yearly fee not to.

To avoid it, you would need people actively monitoring, banning, and setting up bot detection patterns.

Then again, there are cheap services online where real people are hired to create human accounts and spam you anyway, so…

Not really, it’s just a fun expression. Kinda sounds like a propeller in the water.

They’re also fighting the whole of EU for the same reasons. We won’t be getting Threads any time soon either

This was how reddit was meant to be. Now every opinion the hive mind disagrees with gets downvoted to hell.

I’ve tried many times to convert my non-techy friends but it’s impossible.

It’s hard to argue with “literally everyone I know uses Messenger”.

I use SMS in Denmark with people I don’t know personally. Apps like Telegram or WhatsApp aren’t common here (yet) unfortunately.

Everyone has Facebook and uses Messenger. The absolute worst of all the choices…
