Cloudflare’s is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.
It is also not very useful if you don’t use a PC. Every time I look up a Cloudflare-gated site on my iPad, I usually have to jump through a few captchas before it will let me in, if it doesn’t decide to be a grump and decide to put you in a sisyphean cycle of captchas, constantly refreshing without end.
Or if you use some software. I have citation software that gets stuck in the loop because Elsevier puts their journals behind a Cloudflare wall, and when it pops up the prompt to prove you’re not a bot, just refreshes straight into another prompt.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•PHP: Gender\Gender - ManualEnglish
5·10 months agoOnly slightly though. It hardly seems practical to try and infer gender from names, in a way where it can’t be obtained through historical records, or the user.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The future of web development is AI. Get on or get left behind.English
8·10 months agoGetting it to format documentation for you seems to work a treat. Nothing too complex, just “move this bit here, split that into points”.
The glass is also speaking, as opposed to a third person.

9·1 year agoThat’s the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase in MonthsEnglish
121·1 year agoExcept that the numbers are also prone to change, like if it’s been stolen. They’re technically not supposed to be an identification code anyhow.

5·1 year agoNot if you’re in a place that relies on satellite infrastructure, such as places conventional telephony doesn’t work in.

11·1 year agoIt’s also self explanatory, which is great if you’re new.
Ed and Vim are basically arcane by comparison.
Does it count as user error if the user has to micromanage the compiler?

World News@lemmy.world•Fasting while starving, Gazans struggle to mark RamadanEnglish
111·1 year agoIt makes sense in war, since people need normalcy. Partaking in Ramadan is a nice grounding thing to do when everything else is exploding, and other normal traditions aren’t on the table. Religion is good for that.
Plus, Ramadan traditionally has exclusions if you’re not able to safely partake, like if you’re very old, very young, or ill. At worst, you simply have to pray for forgiveness for breaking your fast early (similar to if someone made you eat pork without your consent), and make up for it later.

2·1 year agoIf it wasn’t for the whole forcing people thing, they probably would.
Their tech is much better, and you get as close to immortality as you can get, since your body is maintained by their tech, and your mind gets added to the hivemind.
Short of death, you’d never have a medical problem again.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•"Trump Derangement Syndrome" as a mental illnessEnglish
19·1 year agoNot him, but a bunch of other people on his political party.
It does feel a little like an attempt to legitimise it, so that criticisms are flipped off as mental illness, and/or an opportunity for institutionalising/excluding political opponents for much the same reason.

Not just, but he literally advertised himself as not being technical. That seems to be just asking for an open season.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•muskrat's data eng expert's hard drive overheats while processing 60k rowsEnglish
3·1 year agoOut of memory/overheating in 60k rows? I’ve had a few multi-million row databases that could fit into a few gigs of memory, and most modern machines have that much in RAM. A 60k query that overheats the machine might only happen if you’re doing something weird with joins.
Plus a lot of reads is nothing really, for basically all databases, unless you’re doing an unsmart thing with how you’re reading it (like scanning the whole database over and over). If you’re not processing the data, it’d be I/O bottlenecked.




:xis also an alternative to save and quit.Equally valid for the facial expression you’d make upon finding that out.
