“S-Q-L ‘aight” for SQLite?

Yeah that’s a whole other can of worms. I see this a lot at work where people are asking for direct database credentials and cringe every time.

Is it though? I haven’t used a framework since probably 2007 that doesn’t do this. There are the smaller, more DIY frameworks out there but I’ve never used them professionally.

Lately I’ve been dealing with tons of invalid byte sequences in MySQL dumps and it makes me question what the hell they’re allowing in there.

Unless you’re coding from scratch it’s hard to not do this with any modern framework.

I’ve been doing web development for something like 20 years now and I just can’t imagine how shitty your backend is if this is an issue.

This is why I take a late lunch every day. Every standup I’m like “I’ll wrap up this small issue from yesterday, then move on to something bigger…”

Usually the “small issue” is finally done around 4 PM.

How do you complete the captcha? For me it just loops; it’s to the point where not having the original link to an article is actually more annoying.

Eh, out of all my own traffic I’ve MITM’d it’s mostly been third-party SDKs in apps doing creepy shit.

Down to hate on Gulf of America but when it comes to privacy it’s debatable.

Irrelevant: Scared me for a sec, thought I had an IP leak as I VPN to Switzerland but remembered I explicitly allowed Maps to be routed through a US VPN.

I wrote that “Gulf of America” is only used by an authoritarian regime and “not widely used.”

Running a side business it’s like:

Client: Why doesn’t this work?

Me: The same reason I told you I didn’t want to implement it in the first place.

Client: surprised Pikachu face Well just do <some other hack that’s equally bad>

Now let’s fix GitHub’s glitchy-ass JavaScript on pull requests!

There are dozens all over GitHub. My “core” block list is HaGeZi Ultimate but there are several that block only Meta if that’s more your speed.

I’ve seen some of the nicest vehicles on the planet waste everyone’s time doing this stupid maneuver and I’d gamble they all had rear cameras too.

…and block all their domains! Just because you’re not on Facebook doesn’t mean Meta isn’t tracking you. See Pixel Hunt from The Markdown.

I’m on this level about it: https://matthewdicks.com/2016-8-1-backing-into-a-parking-spot/

I thought my entrance test was far too easy, I only had to create a blog in my web framework and show doing the basics like validations, secure parameters, etc.

I learned later on that most couldn’t pass because they came from other languages and thought they could get by without knowing anything.

More generally turn off or limit cellular data on an app by app basis. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

When was the period reset? This always throws me off too because I forget you need to reset the counters manually.
