Removing APIs is not a great practice though. Look at AWS, they version their APIs, they don't just remove them, and removing them should be unnecessary if your underlying tech isn…

Yeah, nope yourself. It seems like a lot of people aren't really thinking this through very much. And that is absolutely the wrong way to approach API development. An API that is b…

Whoever the first developer was that used "deprecated" got it kind of wrong, the word should have been "depreciated". Deprecate: "express disapproval of." Depreciate: "diminish in …

Prediction: Using the methods of "dorking", this is the only page on the internet among 10 million+ results that is calling this "dorking".

That's web scraping 101

Thanks for posting this - I've been down that road. I regularly have to parse about 20GB of JSON split up into 8MB JSON files - tried this library but was sad that it didn't help. …

I guess this isn't really "hacker news" then, because I would expect just about any "hacker" would know the difference.

Amazing how nerds can be so focused on if it was 1 kiloton, 2 kilotons, or 3 kilotons - and they are arguing about it like it really matters.

Your comment seems a bit disingenuous - how much time passed between when you got the i7 and when you got the i5? Today's i5's can be faster than long-ago's i7's but todays i7's ar…

Her "data" is mostly liking cute dog videos. China can have that data for all I care. Meta data about my network, devices? If China really wants to know that I'm on Spectrum intern…

AREXX was around in 1987. It was amazing. Pretty much every application had an "AREXX port" to allow scripting. And I used it extensively. The closest I've seen to anything like it…

What inputs? You mean the fact that she follows cute dog videos? I'm sure China is going to use that against her somehow /s

I'll admit that one thing China is great at - downvote brigading posts about China, as evidenced right here. Still not high-tech though.

My wife is on TikTok for at least an hour a night if not more - I've never once seen or heard anything pro-china or anything that would otherwise influence her opinion about China.…

That isn't really "high tech", it's organic chemistry. We can split hairs about the meaning of "high tech" but that would be pointless.
