What's everyone here talking about?

The absolute low-tech solution would be to dedicate a switch for it.

If you have decent infrastructure with a managed switch, you can easily create a VLAN.

Besides the fact that the female RJ45 is usually inside the dwelling. You'd have to unmount the camera, pull out the cables and connect to it, all at typical heights of 6' and above. That's maybe a concern in commercial setups, although then we're circling back to VLAN.

As a more general rant - people who have maybe used 5% of the feature set of C++ come along and explain why language X is superior because it has feature Y and Z.

News flash, C++ has every conceivable feature, it's the reason why it is so unwieldy. But you can even plug in a fucking GC if you so desire. Let alone stuff like basic meta programming.

These libraries already exist. God how people underestimate C++ all the time.

Of course you can use a unit type that handles conversions AND mathematical operations. Feet to meter cubed and you get m³, and the library will throw a compile error if you try to assign it to anything it doesn't work with (liters would be fine, for example)

There's several libraries, including some supporting units and mathematical operations yielding the correct result types.

And as usual, it mostly comes with zero overhead, beyond optional runtime range checking and unit conversions.

But C++ is a meta-programming language. Making up your own types with full operator overloading and implicit and explicit conversions is rather easy.

And the ADA feature of automatically selecting a suitable type under the hood isn't actually that useful, since computers don't really handle that many basic types on a hardware level. (And just to be clear, C++ templates can do the same either way)

SPAs are about APIs, and leaving the rendering entirely to the client.

It's a reimagination of ye Olde three tier approach. Perfect for apps.

Are you aware that nowadays you can write SPAs in dozens of languages?

It's an entirely different concept. It's certainly not the right technology for a news site, but days ago in a different place, there was for example the discussion about how an SPA and minimalistic API services fit a lot better with your average embedded device.

Not being connected to the work VPN already slows down my Windows to a near halt since a few unreachable network drives is all it takes to make Explorer go unresponsive.

Seems like engineers forget to test these things nowadays.

Hallucinations come from lack of information, or rather training data, in a particular field.

It is NOT a malicious try at feeding you untruthful answers, nor is it a result of getting trained with misinformation.

Look, it's Apple, Google and Microsoft being at their peak of customer hostility. Each of them constantly push their own browser in their own products.

It already doesn't work if you have humans instead of an LLM. They (humans) will leak infos left and right with the right prompts.

> managing a barely competent junior developer who's only redeeming skill is the ability to type really, really quickly

Hits the nail on the head. For an actual junior developer, they'd at least learn over time. With LLM, open up a new chat and you start with a new hire.

"Not selling anything" is a wild take on "would you pay $15 per month".

You are completely missing the argument that was made to underline the claim.

If ChatGPT claims arsenic to be a tasty snack, nothing happens to it.

If I claim the same, and act upon it, I die.

That's because relying on a TTL simplifies the concept of caching, and makes invalidation trivial, and also inflexible.

It's used in DNS, which already was an example here. There is no way to be sure clients see an updated value before end of TTL. As a result, you have to use very conservative TTLs. It's very inefficient.

To avoid the same debacle that already happened once with Video Station?
