You seem completely detached from the grueling experience of being interviewed, so it’s unsurprising that you don’t understand why somebody would want to burn this whole thing down.

Client side is completely out of the question here. You can’t just send millions of posts to every client hoping that they will order it themselves. Bluesky has a well thought out architecture that does that through server side feed gens, that can be decoupled from the App itself.

Discovery is just the worst, lemmy has a problem with it as well but it’s somehow just amplified on Mastodon
Totally agree. Mastodon is absolutely terrible at discovering new things. Explore tab is just feeding me a bunch of garbage, like cat pics (what is this, 2005?)
This is the initial reason for the invention of “The Algorithm” on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.
I’m personally not ok with not having a way to ensure that I’m not seeding nazi manifestos that were stealthing as a reasonably named subplebbit.
I kind of get the feeling this is exactly the content they want to help host when they refer to “censorship resistance”. This was also the key selling point of Gab when it launched.
Edit: even their logo is a meme commonly used in far right circles, so there seem to be a lot of dog whistles for the type of community they want to create.
Technically cool, but it’s scary that it tries to emulate the anonymous, unmoderated shithole that is 4chan. Go to 4chan now and try to imagine something even more racist, nazi and unhinged.
When the only thing that is stopping kids from dismantling your government is an O(N^N) algorithm
Ah, you’re right
I was going to write that every function should be a service as sarcasm, then I realized that’s exactly what this article is proposing. Now I’m not even sure how to make a more ridiculous proposal than this.
Integration tests? More like disintegration tests
I just saw this late, but I agree here. Also they added CI to Github with very generous limits (which were promptly abused to mine bitcoin), whereas before you had to use something like TravisCI which hit free limits constantly or some complicated solution using your own Jenkins server. Not to mention very restrictive private repos before the MS takeover.
People just like to complain because “Micro$oft bad” but when you point out the facts it’s just crickets…
Look, I get it that it’s trendy to hate on Microsoft, but these complaints don’t even make sense. You complain about requiring an account to contribute, and then you propose some other services that do the exact same thing! Turning github into a 4chan style free-for-all is a terrible idea. Maybe that’s exactly why you VPN got blocked, because it’s enabling spam accounts. And what info are you giving Microsoft to create an account? An email, a password and a username? Not exactly doxxing material, is it? I just searched for some code from one of my repos in incognito and it was the first thing that popped up.
Microsoft is not preventing you from migrating, it’s just that there is no standard for issues, discussions, PRs etc. But every other service has an import tool that can do it if needed. And if you’re only hosting code (doubt) you’re a git remote add & git push away from being free of that evil Microsoft that is hosting all your repos for free.
I hate Microsoft and big corporations just about as much as anyone on Lemmy, but geez, pick your battles people.
Just commit to a different branch, and then rebase to main. If you’re putting this shit into main, it’s not the tool’s fault.
If you use VSCode, Rest client is so much better than Postman. Requests are simple text files that area easy to edit, version and share with others
I unironically had a screening interview with a recruiter that asked “If you were creating a startup, would you use microservices?”. She didn’t like that my answer was “It depends, I don’t have enough information to answer”.
It looks nice, but you have to sign up for an account to use a terminal app? This is really getting ridiculous
Came here to say this, but I was delayed by having to clean my cargo target folder.
Honestly, this article is pretty bad at explaining the problem here. It’s clear that other websites will try to track you, but the important part of this incognito drama is this:
The plaintiffs also accused Google of taking Chrome users’ private browsing activity and then associating it with their already-existing user profiles.
Great job, the system is broken as fuck anyway. The fact that he used AI to do it is the karmic cherry on top! Ideally, you should be able to run the model on the cloud of the company you’re interviewing for, just as an extra ‘fuck you’.
