@adotinthevoid a tech bro doesn't necessarily need to be a programmer

@robinm @supersingular (edited)password hashes are billions of operations, so you need another 1000 there in either the hour or the amount of money

@jamey @jyn f32 can easily take a minute depending on what you're doing, so f64 takes 4 billion minutes which is apparently over 7000 years. that is indeed a few orders of magnitude more than 10 days

@fooflington@infosec.exchange If there's a 403, the user agent is definitely not buggy. It was likely instructed to perform something invalid by the website, like with a dead link, or a normal link that leads to a page where the server is misconfigured. For a dead link, the problem is not that the browser made the invalid request, but that there was a dead link on a website. The people responsible for fixing the issue are the website operators. For users that don't understand HTTP, it does not matter what the exact cause was, whether their browser was directed to an incorrect page or whether the server has a bug. For website operators the nuance is of course very important, that's why HTTP has it. But for users? it's really not

my favorite one was moving a variable declaration of a Vec down to where it was used instead of the start of the function, so that early returns before that didn't need to worry about dropping it

@fooflington@infosec.exchange @tdp_org@mastodon.social On a technical level, yes. On a "try booking your ticket again tomorrow" level, the advice is correct. And even sending the exact same request may work if the server is misconfigured. The user is not a client, the user is using a website, which has server and client components. A 4xx is usually a client issue but the client is still part of the website.

@rain@hachyderm.io this is awesome, I've definitely done things like this before many times.. in my cases the usage was simple enough that a normal map worked fine, but this is nicer even then

@adotinthevoid one time I saw RustC and that was so over

@adotinthevoid type of person who both doesn't care about the capitalization of normal english words but really cares about the capitalization of software project names (me)

@tdp_org@mastodon.social @fooflington@infosec.exchange This advice doesn't seem unreasonable. It's like that a normal user encountering a 403 is a website configuration issue where it has a broken link or they messed up authorization on an endpoint, both of which may be fixed in the future

@scott@sfba.social @danielcornell@mastodon.social he has a lot of money, there are no consequences in this world, so if OpenAI dies he can just live a happy life
