Yes, do this please.

Last week I fixed a monitor in the office that had been “broken” for a week and that several people had already tried to fix. And yes, you guessed it how I “fixed” it. And I don’t even work in IT.

but then you find out that your pot no longer works on your new induction stove, the carrot is moldy and the peeler is in the dishwasher anyway.

Ah, I see he has certified as a Scrum Master.

There's a lot of information available about this. ANY software that goes to space is insanely safe. There are so many rules about this. For instance, none of the devices have an "off" instruction. Just to make sure no one can hit it on accident. The code that goes up to space is horrible by human standards and for a reason, it's designed to be terrible. It's designed to be fixable by sending lines of HEX or Binary to fix it. There's an encryption obviously which is the only thing stopping ME from altering the code on those satellites and rovers. But the reason it can keep working without a dead chip is called "Fault tolerance". CD's have it too. It's really clever. Check this: ------ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8jsijhllIA

Oh this is evil. I’m stealing this, but only for badly designed surveys.

I always enjoy naming queues in my code "foo". ;-)

They cut the baby in to nine, each spend a month raising it, then build it back. Simple!

Nice cheat code!

Okay, this one made me laugh

tabs or spaces?

Hoarder, delete that c**p

They were going to cancel it, but someone laid the schedule out in a table... ;-)

googleling is an artform - especially when you don't even know the name of the thing you are looking for. Furthermore the internet has now become so poluted with all kinds of made up nonsense, that knowing how to filter it out, so you only get the usefull parts, is a great skill.

They wanted a bigger byte of the market! I'd laugh even louder if the previous limit was 16, as that's just a nibble!!!

This refers to the July 19, 2024 outage of all Crowdstrike services, that caused $5.4 billion in losses in what might be considered "the largest IT outage in history", all stemming from a single faulty software update pushed on a Friday afternoon (a big no-no). CrowdStrike supplies a security software called Falcon to thousand of companies. The software embeds itself into the Windows kernel, and the update made impossible to boot the PCs affected.

here;s this infinite paradox loop in Python: def process_wishes(wishes): wish1 = lambda: not wishes[1]() # Do opposite of next wish wish2 = lambda: not wishes[2]() # Don't fulfill third wish wish3 = lambda: not wishes[0]() # Ignore first wish wishes = [wish1, wish2, wish3] try: result = wishes[0]() print("Wishes processed successfully") return result except RecursionError: print("Stack overflow: Infinite wish loop detected") raise except Exception as e: print(f"Critical error: {str(e)}") raise

Awww. I do try to be a good senior dev. I hope I make the junior devs feel good about their work.

Incognito browsing only prevents your browser from recording your actions, not the servers you interact with. So if you Google something whilst in incognito mode, Google still records it.

"function peace() { // TODO: Implement world peace throw new Error('Not implemented yet'); }"

Been done there that. Needs more mutexes and semaphores. ;-)

Several people were killed because of it, but honestly if you look at the numbers; kilometres driven by humans divided by accidents still exceeds the same equation driven by "AI". And George Hotz absolutely f*****g SMASHED this with a piece of software he wrote for phones and obliterates anything written by multi-trillion dollar companies

That is the valuation if the startup is in San Fransisco. The exact same company with the exact same product and same developers started in New York is worth $200 million. Started in Chicago it's worth $100 million. Started in Philadelphia it's worth $500 thousand. Company valuations are purely based on perception, and not on reality. It's why Tesla is worth more than every other car manufacturer on Earth put together.

I don't know about Java, but some programs can only be used in old versions, because all the updates just make them worse and worse. (Here in Germany, we call that "verschlimmbessern".)

My current client still uses java 6

Android is still on 17

Well I'd buy a lot of things like multiple plot of land in good places with that money then I'd use most of the billion dollars building houses on them to sell or rent out :)

Replace the monster with coffee and cigarettes and then I'm good

Looks like retirement.

Is that little Bobby Tables?
