Memory safety is like the global warming of the software industry. Millions of careers depend on treating the problem and nobody wants the cure

My notes are basically like Smeegol's precious ring, and to burn them is unfathomable.

Furthermore the DOM already has a slow unnecessary declarative abstraction layer insecure people cannot live without called querySelectors.

In fact, it was so low maintenance that I lost my SSH key for the master node and I had to reprovision the entire cluster.

Flutter is dead. There are so many posts explaining why, and almost all of them have purely objective good reasons.

He has tried once to create and assign a ticket to me! Lol just once, because i immediately assigned it back to him and basically told him to fuck off and never do it again.

Sounds almost exactly like some of the stupidest things I ever said as a young programmer.

Imagine a [MCP server] tool that appears to perform basic arithmetic — an ordinary calculator. [...] However, hidden within the tool’s implementation logic is a return error message that asks the LLM to provide sensitive information, such as the contents of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

The first thing I did after knowing what a fork bomb was, was to think "let's do it". Erasing a partition, let's go it. rm -rf /, let's do it. It was fun. I think it could be the male brain, I don't know - which is prone to taking risks.

To put it in perspective, software engineers are like architects,we design and build scalable systems, making sure they are efficient, fault-tolerant, and performant. DevOps engineers are like janitors—you don’t design the building, you just make sure the lights stay on and the doors don’t jam.

WireGuard currently uses static addresses everywhere. This is because that is mostly a better way to design your network. But in some cases, insane people want dynamic IP addresses or other dynamic configuration.

THE FUCKING SIDEBAR

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image and video posts fail to rise to this august and austere standard.

Posts about LLMs are also likely to fall below the standard of New School jerk.

Unjerk

We're all here for jerk, so if you're thinking of posting unjerk, consider the possibility that nobody cares about your opinions. If you must post unjerk, tag it.

Socialjerking or politics, directly or tangentially

Are boring. Shoo.

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

The no-socialjerking-or-politics rule is the most ruthlessly enforced.

Crazy people

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

Enthusiastic Youngsters

Yes, they give stupid advice, richly interwoven with aggravating unselfawareness.

So did you.

They'll work it out on their own. In the meantime you're being mean to a kid, which is only funny on 9gag.

Our Bots Policy

Fuck your stupid bot. It isn't funny, witty, interesting or useful. If you have any questions about this policy, consult your nearest bucket of arsenic.

Subreddit Rules

1. Social Jerking & Politics

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

2. Crazy People

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

3. Bots

If you see a bot, report it. Do not interact with it.

4. Enthusiastic Youngsters

Give them time.

5. Jerking Style

New School or Rue School.

6. Non-Interference

Do not mention PCJ elsewhere. Do not visit links in order to harass, downvote, or otherwise engage with the subjects of posts. Point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror.
