@VoxTalk2Us Are you currently experiencing degraded international connectivity via Openserve fiber? I'm seeing upwards of 80% packet loss to US and Europe (essentially unusable), while Asia is fine. Local is also fine.

@vxunderground > No, the password to the Brazilian government employee was the same as their username.

@jorgeakairos @bcherny I suspect Boris has early access to features ;-)

@claudeai A very important detail at the very end of the article.

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

@kareem_carr I've been coding "by hand" for ~15 years. Lately I mostly have Claude do the typing / debugging for me, but it still feels like I'm coding. Even though it's much faster, I also find it more mentally taxing compared to coding by hand. The rate of decision-making is much higher.

@VoxTelecom I have DMd you my details.

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

@VoxTalk2Us @VoxTelecom Since yesterday your PPPoE service has been intermittently terminating my connection. I have tried the support line, but they keep suggesting irrelevant steps and don't understand that it's not a router issue (I tested with multiple MikroTik routers).

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

@VoxTelecom Hi,

I will DM you shortly, thank you.

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

I please just need someone technical to contact me. Your customer support consultants just go by the usual "restart your router", "is it plugged in properly", "maybe the wifi is out of range" playbook. None of this is relevant or helpful.

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

They escalated, but then a technician that doesn't even service my area was assigned. An on site inspection won't help, this is an issue on your PPPoE server side. How do I get someone who understands this to contact me?

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

@cyb3rops I wonder how many people opened up MongoDB to the internet after an LLM told them that this is how they can connect to it for debugging / development...

[Anrich van Schalkwyk @AnrichVS]

@samokhvalov @PostgreSQL I wish there were built-in automated (heuristic based) indexing capabilities. Postgres 18 looks promising in moving towards that.

Full disclaimer: I should probably rather be using an OLAP solution, but that's a whole other discussion.

@elonmusk All I'm noticing is a clear increase of ads for blatant crypto scams. Blocking is futile, "not interested" has no discernible effect.

They are non-profit and it's completely free.

However if you can, it's a great cause to donate your time or money to.

People often ask me what the best resource is to learn a new programming language, and my answer is always "ignore tutorials, learn by building something fun".

However, for the fundamentals, I will recommend @exercism_io from now on. What a great initiative, and very well built!

@hschnedlitz If you need a more fully fledged configuration solution that supports validations, environment variable based config, local override config files, remote config integration, etc., Anyway Config works well: https://t.co/cARv8Nxg4a

@tomrossi7 @rails Ignoring the dev error page in prod, over 4000 lines in portal controller 😭

@samokhvalov @PostgreSQL @rubymine's built-in database client works great. Paired with this plugin it's great for explain plan analysis:

Also available for free in @intellijidea Community Edition as far as I know.

@maceskridge @kerckhove_ts X really needs a dislike button 😅

@natfriedman Aside from the actual content and research, great site design and UX!
