I once worked on a project where the main function would run the entire code in a try-catch block. The catch block did nothing. Just returned 200 OK. Didn’t even log the error anywhere. Never seen anything so incredibly frustrating to work on.

Mostly the latter. We don’t do any optimizations on our product whatsoever. Most important thing is to say yes to all the customers and add every single feature they want. Every sprint is spent adding and adding and adding to the code as much as we can and as quickly as we can. Not a single second is allotted to any discussion about performance or efficiency. Maybe when something breaks, but otherwise we keep piling on more crap at full speed non-stop. I have repeatedly been told “the fast way is the right way” followed by laughter. I was told to “merge this now” on multiple occasions even when I knew that the code was shit, and told the team as much. I am expected to write code now and think about it later.

As you can expect, the codebase is a bloated nightmare. Slow as shit, bugs galore, ugly inconsistent UI, ENORMOUS memory use, waaaaaay too frequent DB access with a shit ton of duplicate requests that are each rather inefficient themselves. It is a rather complex piece of lab management software, but not so complex that it should be struggling to run on dedicated servers with 8 gigs of RAM. Yet it does.

Could be fun.

Long ago, the 118 nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Ytterbium Nation attacked.

I have node named pve too. Small world.

That is woke. Banned.

They could be, but that wasn’t standard behavior. When laptops started to become a thing it was realized that having hot swappable peripherals made too much sense to ignore, so some devices had improved ps/2 ports and controllers that could do that.

Twice, because usually it’s two sticks.

In any case, RAM failure is rare enough that quadrupling its chances is not gonna make any meaningful difference. Even if it does, RAM is the easiest thing to replace in a PC. Don’t even need to go offline while waiting for a new stick. Someone who’s got the cash to build that thing in the first place won’t be too upset by the cost of another 32gb stick either, I don’t think.

We cannot accurately judge your dedication until you tell us from where you drove to NYC. New Jersey and Anchorage have very different weights here.

Well you see one client demanded some absolutely stupid very obscure feature that was so absolutely stupid that it could only reasonably be achieved by hacking some bullshit together on their on-premise bare-metal installation that they insisted on not giving you proper access that you needed. Then something went wrong with that hacked-together one-off bullshit, and the digital equivalent of this was the only way to figure out what the hell was happening.

Yeah exactly. So why make that comment?

The iPhone is stopping them from doing all that, which you’d know if you’d ever used one. The phone’s filesystem does not appear to the pc as a mountable external volume for you to copy shit in and out of it. You have to move the files over network somehow, through a smb share or whatever.

He ate it, from what it looks like.

It has to be monocrystalline sapphire that was grown in a very specific model of vat from the Soviet era. Others just don’t sound the same.

He’s in Hydrogen Sonata. The mcguffin guy who everyone is trying to find and talk to because he’s the only person who’s old enough to remember some very important thing about the early days of the Culture.

One of Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels has an exceptionally old character who is so exceptionally old that he’s had to turn most of his body into memory storage (sounds weird if you think in terms of computers) to keep remembering things. He stores his sexy memories in his balls.

Podman has a built-in automatic update feature that monitors the source repo. Could be useful for you.

You said no weapons, but no mention of armor.

Wrap me in some chain mail or kevlar or whatever, and set me loose. I will rain down an ungodly firestorm upon any number of squirrels. They’re gonna have to call the United Nations and get a binding resolution to keep me from destroying them. I will massacre them. I will fuck them up.

How is that? Does risc-v have magical properties that make its designers infallible, or somehow make it possible to fix flaws in the physical design after the CPU has already been fabbed and sold?

What skill? This is not a fucking game lmao. I don’t use an immutable distro because I have better things to do with my time than to try and climb a steep learning curve using some very questionable documentation. I can acknowledge the benefits, but I also acknowledge it’s gonna take me time to get there. And I judge that the time investment is not worth it.

It’d be political suicide. A very justified one, I might add. Turkey has already taken on WAAAY too many refugees over the last years, and the consequences have become pretty bad. It’s a hot topic right now. Even his supporters are sick of his immigration policies, which he’s been using as a way to import voters by fast tracking them to full citizenship.
