the raw, mediocre teenage energy of assuming you can pick up any subject in 2 weeks because you’ve never engaged with a subject more complex than playing a video game and you self-rate your skill level as far higher than it actually is (and the sad part is, the person posting this probably isn’t a teenager, they just never grew out of their own bullshit)

given how oddly specific “application auth protocol” is, bets on this person doing at best minor contributions to someone else’s OAuth library they insist on using everywhere? and when they’re asked to use a more appropriate auth implementation for the situation or to work on something deeper than the surface-level API, their knowledge immediately ends

all you gotta do is, you know, ground the symbols, and as long as you’re writing enough Lisp that should be sufficient for GAI

Sarvega, Inc., the leading provider of high-performance XML networking solutions, today announced the Sarvega XML Context™ Router, the first product to enable loosely coupled multi-point XML Web Services across wide area networks (WANs). The Sarvega XML Context Router is the first XML appliance to route XML content at wire speed based on deep content inspection, supporting publish-subscribe (pub-sub) models while simultaneously providing secure and reliable delivery guarantees.

it’s fucking delicious how thick the buzzwords are for an incredibly simple device:

• it parses XPath quickly (for 2004 (and honestly I never knew XPath and XQuery were a bottleneck… maybe this XML thing isn’t working out))
• it decides which web app gets what traffic, but only if the web app speaks XML, for some reason
• it implements an event queue, maybe?
• it’s probably a thin proprietary layer with a Cisco-esque management CLI built on appropriated open source software, all running on a BSD but in a shiny rackmount case
• the executive class at the time really had rediscovered cocaine, and that’s why we were all forced to put up with this bullshit
• this shit still exists but it does the same thing with a semi-proprietary YAML and too much JSON as this thing does with XML, and now it’s in the cloud, cause the executive class never undiscovered cocaine

no absolutely, I shouldn’t ever “have a proompt”, whatever the fuck that means

the promptfondlers really aren’t alright now that public opinion’s against the horseshit tech they love

fuck off, promptfondler

almost all of your posts are exactly this worthless and exhausting and that’s fucking incredible

thank you for bravely rushing in and providing yet another counterexample to the “but nobody’s actually stupid enough to think they’re anything more than statistical language generators” talking point

you couldn’t fucking help yourself could you

my first thought on seeing the robovan was that I better make sure I got all the plasmids I needed cause when I enter that Bioshock’s definitely doing a level transition I can’t come back from

I’m so down for this I might unbury my good microphone

“and then Dick Cheney appears and that’s the final boss and he beats your ass. no, not a character based off of Dick Cheney…”
