Let’s Encrypt Expiry Bot just entered the chat.

And chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

Hope you’re well now. * Hugs *

Thank you, I wouldn’t have known how to react to the child’s amusing statement without the emojis instructions.

But WHY are you trying to make a case for a bad practice? Don’t enable this kind of bullshit, please.

If there’s an error, don’t say it’s 200 OK. Give me something, a 4xx, or at least a 500. Sure, add all you want to the body, but respect the goddamn headers!

This fucks up so many things - starting right with API specs and documentation, s23 (or any other code this crap spits out) are not a part of the pdf file, which is the ONLY available documentation for this 3rd party service. If it serves any internal purpose, I have no clue, but for me it’s useless.

Log analytics is a mess, and you can forget about auto-generating a client, of course…

This is just a huge red flag for me, if their public interfaces look like this, I dont want to know whats under the hood, and I’m actively lobbying for us to change to another provider.

I may have run in your acquaintance work, stuff along the lines of

200 OK

{ error_code: s23, error_msg: "An error was encountered when performing the operation" }

If you happen to run into him, kindly tackle him in the groin for me.

Thanks!

Oh yeah, I remember using tortoiseCVS briefly.

Mercurial and Bazaar also showed up at around the same time as git, I think all spurred by BitKeeper ending their free licenses for Linux kernel devs.

An interesting shot to the foot, that one.

BitKeeper was a proprietary version control system that somehow (and with a lot of controversy) ended up being adopted by a big chunk of the Linux kernel developers, while others were adamant against it.

In any case, they provided free licenses to Linux devs, with some feature restrictions (including not being able to see full version history) only available for premium clients, while Devs who worked on open source competing systems were even barred from buying a licence.

When someone started to work on a client that allowed access to these locked away features, they revoked the free licenses, and a host of solutions started being developed immediately. Linus Thorvalds himself started work on git, and that eventually got adopted by the whole Linux ecosystem and, nowadays, the world.

As for BitKeeper, it’s been dead for years now.

Well yes, but that’s on account of the very definition of species. If two individuals can make viable, fertile offspring, they’re the same species.

Cybertrucks sure, fair game. Brand new Teslas, same. But I’m sure there’s decent folk that can’t sell their older Teslas today without taking a big loss…

What do you mean? That’s a surname.

Is your caps lock broken? What the heck is that second select?

A brilliant one.

DOGE is out looking for profitability, which is as much a goal of federal agencies, as hoarding peanut butter is for the Legal or Financial departments, which is to say not at all.

A government’s purpose is never to generate profit. It’s to make use of the common wealth to improve the lives of its citizens. In a country with so much wealth, and yet the people face so much strife, the government has already failed.

DOGE is just accelerating the downward spiral.

Especially writing drivers amirite!

I was alone…

I was all by myself…

No one was lookiiiiing…

The song came out in '97. Either that is a really deep song, or you may need some help with your German…

Oh, my moment! This song has some nice lore, here’s the Wikipedia article.

The song was released in 1998 and was a big hit in India, reaching the West in the 2000s where it quickly became one of the OG memes.

Even back then, at least by the time the song reached the West, the CG graphics were already considered awful, and still the song was so catchy that it didn’t matter.

It turns out that this was the whole point. Mehndi was already a big name in India, but was criticized for always using “an overabundance” of beautiful dancing women in his videos, and that this was the only reason he was popular.

He then recorded this video, featuring only himself, and grabbed another Indian #1 hit…

Let’s stop beating around the bush, shall we?

Pig cheese is apparently tasty.

Oh good point, from what little I’ve seen in “extreme makeover”, they use wood and/or stiff cardboard, which kinda like the piggies and the wolf story, get blown away when there’s a breeze.

Probably yelling her phone number to someone who blew her a kiss.

The one use of roundup that’s universally approved.
