Windows is being an over-achiever today

I really like Stack Exchange's change log writing style 😁

Job offers be like:

This is Epic...

I have to do 3 hours of offline coding for a job interview.
Started my Windows VM 30mins earlier:

Yeah. 😡

The problems people face

Samsung appears to have become a pyrotechnics company without telling anyone...

Among the many improvements introduced by Windows 10, the one I enjoy the most is the freshly redesigned, user-friendly BSOD.

Whoever said "deploys in production shouldn't be made on friday evening" was unbelievably right.

Anyone seen this? https://www.foaas.com/ FOAAS (Fuck Off As A Service) provides a modern, RESTful, scalable solution to the common problem of telling people to fuck off. An API for telling people to fuck off.

Leaning Tower of Pisa being a wonder of the world is basically "It's not a bug, it's a feature" example.

I put an Easter egg into a product, that if you enter the string "final countdown" into the stock code search field, it plays a YouTube vid of Europe's "The Final Countdown", in a hidden div. It's an in-joke for a few people in the company.

A well meaning maintainer with no sense of humour or judgement takes over and goes on the warpath against any hardcoded strings. The secret code gets moved into a config file.

A third developer changes the deployment script so that it clears any configs that aren't explicitly set in the deployment settings.

So the secret code is now "".

Literally every PC in the stock buying department is now blaring out "The Final Countdown" at top volume.

...Except none of them have speakers, so it remains this way for over a year and two more changes of maintainer.

I just noticed this afternoon and quietly re-hardcoded the string. The buying dept.'s PCs will silently sing no more.

*job ad* We strongly adhere to TDD

Reality:
Me: yeah but shouldn't we write tests first and then get X finished?
Manager: No takes too much time, we finish X and then we decide if it's worth testing.

This happens way to often😔😂

Girlfriend created a github account today, I'm so proud!

This is how cables are meant to be! 😍

Only in computer science you'll find that root is on the top of the tree and that parent may kill it's child after its function is no longer needed.

Those times when we had a lot of good memories

Debian is installing itself in Florida

Just learnt Node JS a week back for a personal project. Started working on it and had to get hospitalized for Dengue. Feeling like a helpless non tech guy without my laptop 😓

A few years back, when my youngest cousin was about 7 years old, she asked me the most innocent question ever.

She said, "what's the internet?"
I answered, "it is where you can find anything that came from other people".

"Wanna see baby tigers?" I added then she nodded.

I Google searched 'tiger cubs' and showed the image results to her. She beamed a very big smile and said "let's look for another one!" So we did search for a few animal photos and I saw how happy she was!

Now she's a gamer who loves minecraft, Pewdiepie, and FPS games! :)

Noob!!!!
