Been having stomach pains since I read my boss's email, giving me new tasks.
This is becoming regular btw. It happens even when I run into him.
Any advice for how to manage?27 -
So today I was trying to get a java program to run in Linux that needed a bat file to run in Windows. I was looking at the file and didn't know what it would take to do all the commands in Linux. So I said fuck it and had my chatgpt account do the conversion. It actually did it perfectly and replaced Windows specific commands with Linux equivalents. It reworked the data and set environment variables correctly. It also ran the java program.
Unfortunately I think the Java program had made assumptions about the environment and used hard coded Windows style paths. Rather than using some paths in a filesystem generic way. So it just excepted when trying to read files that were there, but had wrong slash in filename.
It was a good test though. I may have chatgpt take a whack at other scripts I don't want to take the time to look up syntax.4 -

Explaining docker in 5 simple steps:
1. We need to be OS agnostic so we we use docker containers
2. We remove 3 lines of code to run migrations on host computer because they are OS specific
3. We add one container for DB and another one to apply Flyway migrations
4. We write 15+ lines of .SH OS SPECIFIC GLUE CODE TO MAKE THAT CONTENIRIZED SHIT WORK
5. Now we are OS agnostic because we use containers

Roughly one year ago we'd been setting up our network to have our IP whitelisted.
The process took way more than it should've. Here's why:
* Back story: *
Coworker had been talking to IT because he wanted his PC && a devkit to have static IPs.
IT did that && set up the network so that in the future they wouldn't have to be bothered about it.
They set aside a pool of IPs 10.0.2.50-10.0.2.100.
/* You _know_ where this is going, right? */
Coworker: We have our static IPs. This is our range: 10.0.2.50-10.0.2.100. Could you pass it over to $company_name so that we have our IPs whitelisted?
Boss: Finally! Yes, will do.
* Passes the info over. *
* Week passes. *
C: Do we have our IPs whitelisted?
B: Got the info that they should be.
C: Damn, it doesn't work!
* B starts blaming $company_name 's support. *
* Another week passes. *
C: Any word on the whitelisted IPs?
B: They tell me it's set up. Can you try now?
C: Nope, still doesn't work.
* B starts bitching about IT how they're incompetent. How they were supposed to be pros && all that. *
/* I got wind of the whole situation. */
Me: Hold on. Those aren't the IP we need to pass to the $company_name.
* Provide the _correct_ Internet-facing IP. *
* Gets whitelisted within 1-2 days. *
These are the people I'm dealing w/ right now. They'll bitch about everyone being incompetent, but when it turns out _they_ have been at fault I hear no responsibility being taken.
/* I'm also reminded of this adage: Garbage In, Garbage Out. So true. */3 -
Prettier is absolute cancer.
Just logged in here to say this.
esLint is annoying as fuck, but Prettier is absolute cancer.
Are you webdev guys to stupid to format code or commit in a team how to format so that you got those annoying horrror tools with default bullshit rules like a comma after the last element in arrays or that shit not to use " but ' ? What the fuck is wrong with web devs?10 -
It's nice when devs are
happy you find bugs in their code, like I don't want to bother them with issues so saying thanks is positive3 -
Yesterday‘s Windows 11 update brought back an old bug which I haven’t seen since Windows 8 or so.
The EN keyboard layout is added in the task bar UI but it‘s not actually there when you try to remove it in the settings.
Fucking hell! Why even make new versions of Windows if it‘s all the same pile of shit?
That‘s not the only old bug that persists across multiple major Windows versions!3 -
I fucking despise default open firewalls! Just let me define what I can do and block everything else. I don't want to play whack-a-mole networking by havin to close so many goddamn holes! If I ever see any router doing that again, I swear Mccarthy will think the communists won from all the red from blood!

Someone broke in past weekend in my workplace. We have a separate storage room at the ground floor and that lock was brute forced.
But we have yet to find something that is missing. It's so weird. Was there really nothing of value there that could have been sold?6 -
It's nice to see people waking up and realizing the fallacies of AI.
Given that I've been against AI since day 1, it's giving me a little superiority complex ngl.11 -
I plainly told the manager responsible for programming that we all use web extensions and there's just no way to effectively prevent programmers from running whatever software they deem necessary, so I'm suggesting to allow them in Windows group policy purely as a matter of efficiency.
It has only just occurred me how much I'm relying on his better judgment not to try and crack down on this.

It baffles me that even now people still use ChatGPT to learn new things. LLMs are the antithesis of learning. They're inaccurate so you're left reasoning from flat out incorrect principles, they save you from encountering neighboring information to the answer you seek which is a central mechanic for developing a mental model, and the further away you are from common thought patterns the less their training applies which makes them fundamentally and unfixably terrible at detecting and correcting misunderstandings.38

Me: do you have monitorin enabled for your cluster?
They: no
me: I recommend enabling it
they: naah, we're good
error: *occurs*
they: *try to guess at which hop which limits were or were not hit and/or which nw links could've dropped a packet with trial-and-error approach for days*
me: telemetry would give you an answer in under a minute....
They: ok cool. We're still good1 -
Man, I hate project managers who demand a near 100% SLA, but want the project to run off of a single physical server. Like. Sure, buddy, and when a stick of ram dies, or there's a 10.0 CVE released of the kernel, then how do we keep the machine running.
Some people, ugh5 -
Hi.
CMake sucks. as a person who used C++ for multiple years i hope the developers of this abomination do not sleep well at night and just live to genuinely make life as hard as it already is.

I talk to myself a little too often. It makes sense, given that overthinking is what keeps me employed.
I am good with that.
However, I've been finding myself in these 'thinking sessions' where I'm full on mouthing words and sometimes words come out and moving my hands around as if I am talking to someone in person.
It worries me, what if I enter one of these moments and never be able to snap back into reality.
I'm going crazy, aren't I6 -

I just want to run your stupid tests so I can submit a PR to fix a stupid bug that has been there for ages and nobody has figured out how to fix why do I need npx to run tests in a stupid python project?! l3

Being helpful and a c++ programmer has led me to trying to add a (tiny) feature to cpython.
The file I'm currently looking at is 2,000 lines long.
I have regrets...10 -

I once wanted to make easy money by becoming a professional poker player. I did this by programming a poker simulator and calculate chances with certain cards and stuff. To assure you have 6.**% winning (mathematical chance calculated) of a hand takes around 3k simulations to cancel out the luck. So don't trust to much on your math.
That went well, but that wasn't all that there was to learn, you could even consider a small start. Long story short, I became quite a good player and won a lot with Appeak Poker (Great app! No adverts!). Now, I opened a while ago an account at the Holland Casino to make some money. But they were playing on such low wages that it was just not interesting and I quitted. Today I realized I had still an account with money on it and thought "let's get over wit it" so i did aggressive betting on red (1:st 40% all in, lost, 2nd 100% all in won) in a roulette game. In the end I had a few euro profit so the gambling adventure never costed me money.
Another reason the poker carreer ended is because I realized it's not a quick way to make money at all and the gambling factor was too high. I expected poker a bit to be more strategy.
I even consider the best poker spelers maybe to just be lucky bastards in some cases. Poker stars is fun to see on youtube tough, they're bullshitting a lot.
I consider gambling for losers. Poker, you can become really good in it, but still some luck is required. Not bad luck at least. You can lose with a multiple of quite good hands.
Fact: one of the best poker players is actually a software developer17
