  • To further your point and remembering my asinine discussions with the vendor.

    Fine. I accept what they said. Then the return code should be a 5xx code not a 200.

    I genuinely wonder if they addressed their fuckups.

    Side note their updated desktop client (because of course new version didn’t have one so they had to write one fast) was a java client that needed 16gb of ram to run marginally well lol


  • Fun story close to a decade ago we were attempting to upgrade our batch scheduler called Tidal to version 6x which had a RESTful API.

    One of the reasons we dropped the product was because we were getting 200 status codes meanwhile the output was a java dump of an error message.

    They were adamant that this was an us problem, no matter how much I tried to explain to them with numerous links explaining to them that if something has a 200 status code that should mean things worked.

    They argued that the 200 meant we were hitting the API fine. We would have to write code to read the return for if it was a error or not. I still don’t think they understood how stupid they were, even all these years later.





  • I’ve been working with Linux for the better part of 20 years at this point. Ubuntu is perfectly fine my time is too valuable to spend numerous hours fucking around getting shit to work properly. If that makes me an idiot then I’m happily an idiot.

    I get that many people have issues with snap, SystemD or whatever else they want to throw out. I don’t give a shit. You’re whinging into the wind over nothing burgers.


  • This is what frustrates me because in theory yes, you’re right. But in reality those shareholders are not who you think they are. Many of them are your relatives through 401k and RRSP managed funds.

    What I’m getting at is it would be great to Luigi a bunch of billionaires but the reality is the problem is systemic and no amount of murder is going to solve that.

    We go back to the Levellers and the Diggers. My gut tells me we are going to everyone screaming for change ultimately get what they want which is someone will be beheaded but then in the aftermath you all have no fucking plan and guess what? In a few years we are going to be right back here again.

    I hope I’m wrong, but history has a way of repeating the same beats over and over again.









  • Concerns with Roblox are not new. For years there have been allegations and lawsuits around the exploitation of children developing effectively for free so the company can make bank. There’s even been investigative journalism programs and articles about it.

    Roblox exploits children.
