| rts-sander | as in suddenly you'll start getting empty responses |
| adsc | an api that has 1 request per minute limit is nearly useless |
| rts-sander | well it's not a limit but it's recommended |
| wedr_ | fetch(url).then((r)=> return r.OK ? r.json() : r.text()).then((json) => doStuff(json)); |
| wedr_ | Pretty much |
| solidfox | then |
| solidfox | that's new to me. |
| qoxncyha | wedr_: that will break for !r.OK |
| Tywin | Ugh, reddit's still written in python. No wonder it's slow as hell. |
| qoxncyha | i usually do `.then(r => { if (!r.OK) { throw r; } return r.json() })` |
| wedr_ | oh |
| solidfox | I write my websites in C |
| wedr_ | You should write in WebASM |
| wedr_ | :D |
| velco | s/Web// |
| solidfox | nah man. I mean the backend |
| wedr_ | oh |
| adsc | soon you will be able to write the frontend in C, too |
| rindolf | solidfox: my websites are mostly static html |
| solidfox | sweet. I can render my interface myself instead of using css |
| Tywin | Is C web-scale? Do all the cool kids use it? |
| rindolf | Tywin: /dev/null is web scale |
| solidfox | rindolf, ah. so you don't use any programming? |
| rindolf | Tywin: it has sharding |
| rindolf | solidfox: i do |
| Tywin | rindolf, does /dev/null also have native non-blocking sharding? |
| Tywin | :D |
| rindolf | solidfox: i use static site generators |
| rindolf | solidfox: and there is client-side js |
| rindolf | Tywin: http://shlomifishswiki.branchable.com/slash-dev-null_is_WebScale/ |
| solidfox | rindolf, ah I see |
| solidfox | I think I remember now. aren't your static site generators written in perl? |
| Tywin | rindolf, how can I get this /dev/null? What do I have to type in my 5000$ Mac? |
| rindolf | solidfox: see http://www.shlomifish.org/meta/site-source/ |
| rindolf | solidfox: not entirely |
| rindolf | Tywin: just PayPal me 100 bitcoins |
| wedr_ | PayPal supports bitcoins? |
| wedr_ | Or that's a joke? |
| rindolf | wedr_: a joke |
| wedr_ | OK |
| wedr_ | Otherwise, my co-workers going to cash all in on PayPal |
| wedr_ | They have a strut of bitcoins |
| wedr_ | Hoping to get back into the green |
| rindolf | wedr_: he can pay me 1,000,000 USD instead |
| rindolf | to get the coveted /dev/null |
| wedr_ | Wait until we hit 2030, when USD is probably hyper-inflating. |
| solidfox | wedr_, that ain't gonna happen |
| solidfox | wedr_, we can barely maintain current inflation rates |
| wedr_ | Hence it's a joke |
| arahael | rindolf: not entirely a joke, unless it is extremely widespread. There are quite a few results for 'PayPal bitcoin' |
| rindolf | arahael: i 'd imagine |
| arahael | rindolf: the more promising sites seem to be old though, e.g., a pcworld article from 2015. i suspect that they may have considered it in the past. (but i haven't read it. ) |
| wedr_ | or extremely fictitious and click-baity |
| rindolf | solidfox: https://github.com/shlomif/shlomi-fish-homepage/blob/master/.travis.yml - this is the build process |
| rts-sander | for a mere 999,000 USD I'll even spin up /dev/null as a service for you |
| rts-sander | which exists already apparently: https://devnull-as-a-service.com/ |
| Tywin | rts-sander, it's expensive as hell, so it must be good. I'm talking with my management right now about buying some /dev/null. |
| xi- | rts-sander: dispose of your data safely and efficiently with /dev/null! |
| rindolf | Tywin: heh |
| xi- | now for only 150$ per month on a 5 year contract! |
| rts-sander | I legit think there's non-technical business people you could sell this to |
| rindolf | rts-sander: see http://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=mongodb-vs-dev-null |
| rts-sander | rindolf, this hans guy is thorough |

| rts-sander | rindolf, it's true though if you look at what some companies pay for enterprise software |
| rindolf | rts-sander: enterprise! |
| rindolf | to boldly code what many have coded before |
| rindolf | lol |
| rts-sander | not like many of us are going through uncharted territory, we at least have the decency to not pretend otherwise |
| rindolf | rts-sander: enterprise software! https://fc-solve.blogspot.co.il/2010/03/01-april-2010-freecell-solver.html |
| rts-sander | rindolf, consistent usage of the trademark symbol |
| rts-sander | if you miss it once your intellectual property might get stolen! |
| rts-sander | "Eh, what the hell?" lol |
| rindolf | rts-sander: heh. That is True™ |
