That can't be your measurement when you're loading 3 huge js libraries which are a lot more code then say svelte, which also excels at SSG.

Sounds more difficult then modern web frameworks. We've all done this for little projects, but anything with users or development teams, your method is DOA.

Looks like the Perl of Git too. Those commands are wild compared to vanilla git.

If a shop tells me they use Atlassian/Jira I see that as a big negative.

Consumers dont care about OSS, most people dont feel enslaved, and the only market share they'll dent is Android/Google. If we're getting more android slop, I'll pass.

If they were cooked then they're cooked now. "Trump succeeded" remains unsupported by the same logic. Good shot on the googling and 12 year old article though.

I think they just want steer users/developers to CF products, maybe not? It is interesting to see the two platforms. I've moved to svelte, never been a frontend person either but kind of enjoying it actually.

This President isn't doing a good job on really any level. Its not that I want anyone to fail, it's that the President today is currently in a state of failure, and those failures like enriching himself can have long term devastating effects on our society.

The pricing is so bad I had to remove my CC details. One mistake and you wake up with a 50K bill for your personal project that was just you exploring.

I'm yet to see perfect code from a human or ai. Most of the people I work with that want everything to be in a perfect state typically get way less done. To your point, sometimes we are just mechanics and that's okay.

I worked at Verizon almost 10 years ago, they hired a group come to come in and assess. Within 3-4 hours they pwned the entire place (including offices outside of the office we were in) through an unsecured windows jenkins machine/script console.

New comment by bastardoperator in "It's 2026, Just Use Postgres"

bastardoperator — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 22:14:46 +0000

I don't disagree, but I think big enterprises expect support, roadmaps, and the ability to ask for deliverables depending on the sale or context of the service.

New comment by bastardoperator in "GOG: Linux "the next major frontier" for gaming as it works on a native client"

bastardoperator — Mon, 02 Feb 2026 18:01:55 +0000

Of the top 10 games on steam, 8 of them are multiplayer. Until they have top multiplayer games, they have nothing. The reality is most of these studios aren't going to enable Linux because they're already on record stating it would make the cheating worse.

Until it fully supports multiplayer which doesn't seem to be a thing for any major game or studio, it's a nothingburger for the majority of people.

Remember when Google was "Don't be evil"? They would happily shred this constitution and any other one if it meant more money. They don't, but they think we do.

Unusual? That's one way of putting it. I think unpredictable, erratic and criminal paint a more a realistic picture. The fact we're threatening Greenland is absolutely insane.

If the goal of this administration is to destroy America, they're doing a fine job.

New comment by bastardoperator in "IP Addresses Through 2025"

bastardoperator — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 18:46:07 +0000

There is no shortage. Go look at IPXO, you can sublease any block size. The RiR's should be reclaiming these unused addresses, but instead the ASN is allowed to sit on them or rent them out, regardless they're not being used. The shortage is caused by hoarding and RiR's not doing their job.
