I mean it doesn’t seem like his sister thinks it’s satire. Poes law etc

That’s not entirely true: sacrificial anodes attract and collect calcium and magnesium as well as preventing rust.

I am not! I hadn’t heard of it until just now. Very neat project.

No I’m just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird

What a mediocre story

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.

That is not my experience in Italy.

Just ask a European about gypsies or African migrants. It will get very racist very quickly.

Vista was a nightmare 8 was awful

Windows has consistently released 1 good, 1 bad for a long time now.

The thing is I think win11 is terminal. It’s just forever windows because they can milk it for ads without needing to iterate.

As an off instance user: great decisions! Strong migration makes for strong communities.

Hmm maybe I stop donating then… I’ll have to dig into where my money is actually going.

Sorta. The foundation does.

https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/donate/

Yes. Just like I donate to my Lemmy host on a regular basis.

I even pay for YouTube, despite using Vanced.

Fuck ads.

The issue is fuck ads

Correct

I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.

You think Bing aka Microsoft is not planning on this exact same folly?

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

Kalih Choc are great. I like that plan.
