im trying to cut down on my digital ocean bill and have a few small freelance websites, im paying 15$ a month for a mysql db and kinda feel ripped off
i know mongodb atlas offers mongo for free, does any service offer mysql for free and would you recommend using it for a clients website?5 -
It's 2025.
We still have MSSQL with compatibility level set to 100 (matches the version from 2008).
We still have random downtime or issues with timeouts thanks to parameter sniffing.
Update? No that's expensive and doesn't provide more cashflow (ecommerce-ish).

I need to finally learn CMAKE at some point
I've been using make for many years now and it's good enough for me so I never bother with trying CMAKE but I can't be lazy forever4 -
So, StackExchange has renamed Luigi Mangione's profile. Not a complete removal as of yet, it seems.
So if I am even accused of a crime, they're gonna remove my scientific publications and contributions?
Like idgaf about the guy, but how's this not censorship? How's this any better than burning certain books? (I'm going out on a limb here, but you get the idea)10 -
Fucking hell! Why is it so hard to just create a simple websocket!
C#: Yeah, you should use ASP.Net with SignalR! But heres a totally undocumented mess of a lib to get it to work. J.k. Deadlock!
Rust: async while let OK((some)) = ws.create.unwrap_or_else().suckadick()
Why the fuck is Rust so fucking dense! I want one line that means one thing! If I would compress my code with gzip it would be less information dense than this!
Zig: Yeah, Its in Beta and shits semi stable. Atleast i got it to work? Nope!
I've ben fussing aound with these three Languages for more than a week now and can say: Just use an established way to webdev. Its not worth it to try and make it as simple as possible!10 -
Swift does some things really well, but then falls flat in others. Why is polymorphic JSON decoding/encoding such a pain?
In Kotlin, it's a breeze to support multiple object types.7 -
I don't remember the Netflix show name, but it was cyberpunk and animated. From the show, I find this idea very interesting.
Put prisons behind an API. And use it for various tasks that require intelligence. There you go, we solved the AI problem.
But I wonder say we're using it for a self-driving, the prisoner just deliberately crashes it.9 -

This is how you grow your web app indefinitely:
1. Strip the codebase of all frameworks
2. Ban DRY principle. Don't reuse the code, period.
3. When feeling the urge to write a unit test, refactor the code instead.
4. When seniors “discover” a new “paradigm” that applies to the codebase and want to make a framework, rotate them.
5. Profit!11 -
This was few years ago, I was an intern in the company (first job I ever had). After few months of fiddling around stuff (haven't yet touched a production project). We landed a 'high priority' project.
We were told by the client (A multinational company) that they had a contract that fell through with another software house and the app is already made they just need to integrate it inside their main app instead of having it a separate app.
We were like, okay, and we made sure that everything will stay the same (APIs, Feature flows, etc). My managers gave it an estimate of two months.
And after a couple of weeks they started changing everything (APIs, flows, design, ALL OF IT) and they insisted we meet the deadline. It was a project for a multinational telecom company so it had payments, features for user's consumption and a shit-ton of other features.
At some point I was the only developer working, had to pull more than 16 hours a day to meet the deadline but we did.
I was in my fourth year of college as well. It was crazy.
May not be the craziest deadline overall, but for sure was the craziest deadline for me to meet.
Edit: Oh and after all of that it was never released bc of "financial reasons"2 -
I finally finished up my post on Bibilobunny, my book note extraction tool for Kindle and Play Books:

I hope to add support for getting notes off Nook and Kobo next. You can follow the instructions to create your own book quote bot, and you can follow mine here: https://tweeflood.com/@bookquotebot2 -
I am SOOOO tired of outdated, easily circumvented, methods of attempting to find rule breaking culprits...
especially when they can't even come up with anything more specific than 'suspecting' "unusual activity".13 -
I've spent like 2 days on this semi-toy project, for which I would have been paid generously had I chosen to work for a client instead. This pleasure cost me hundreds of €s not earned. But it feels ssooooo good to code smth just for pleasure.
Totally worth it!25 -
How the fuck did the engineers at Tiktok pull off the American 'ban' so seamlessly. Take it down and then put it back with little loss to functionality.
How do you think they accomplished that with so many accounts.
Anyone works there can comment?8 -
The kind of testers I'm dealing w/ right now:
Until fairly recently, they thought it was a good idea to keep retesting stale && untouched bug reports to see whether an issue is still present, then leave a comment.
Imagine being assigned as a watcher to a report, but keep seeing comments made by testers akin to:
- version 1: issue is still present.
- version 2: issue is still present.
- version 3: issue is still present.
- version 4: issue is still present.
Which was true for some 90-95% of the cases.
How retarded does a person have to be to think that this is a good idea?
I say it's a great way to piss somebody off.
Reminds me of movies w/ scenes where there is this annoying brat in the back seat of a car asking 'Are we there, yet?' over && over again.
Once a report is up, just be fucking patient && wait until someone replies!10 -
Thinking about machine learning and models... without data, there is no model, meaning they are extremely dependent on the data.
But is that intelligence? It seems more like the most basic form of a human that consumes anything it’s given—an indoctrinated, brainwashed slave, in a sense.
True intelligence involves overriding the training through reasoning, raw intellect, intuition, or the ability to question.
If a model is trained solely on the laws of physics and language, can it reason afterward? For example, can it use physics to question the events of 9/11, arguing that the laws of physics do not allow for the free fall of three towers, regardless of the CGI planes shown on TV?
We are intelligent, sentient beings on this planet.
While God is a man-made concept, reality provides us with much evidence of our creation. We are the children of nature, and nature is the first intelligence that gave life to us all.

A fancy position opened up in a good spot, which I should be applying for. I want to. But this soul sucking place I currently work for has crushed me and I really don't see it in me anymore. The robots have more soul in this corridor than people.10

I opened the backlog today and found a bug assigned to me.
the bug basically describing that the images are not loading on the app, I take one look at the response and find the images url are sent as ip address.
I mention this to the tester and with a straight face they say "well why is it working on my laptop?" the laptop that's connected to their company's network.
god why am I even doing this.2
