Today I broke a colleague’s app, because I repurposed an unused app registration on azure, or at least I thought it was unused. I thought that would be faster than asking the admins for a new registration on a Friday afternoon. But I forgot that I had used that registration for my colleague 's application.

So when he came complaining that it didn’t work, I just told him he had done something wrong and that he should just restart his computer.

Yes, normal client computers. Just for simple document work. Inexcusable indeed

Same with YouTube, honestly.

Just talked to a woman from a company in the same holding as mine. They still run their computers on windows xp. They’re in health care and deal with sensitive, confidential patient data.

I never have that problem with Digital Ocean 😆

And they are right to do so. In the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t really matter how much time you spend on a problem. It’s the result that matters. I remember a meme where a dev would place a “wait” function in a new feature. Than remove the wait call and call it a free update and get lots of praise from the customer.

Can’t you sue a company when they do this?

Tell your boss that it’s even more expensive to have your foot up his ass. And tell it like Red Foreman

That’s true, in hindsight. I felt it, but couldn’t really put into words yet what had changed or tgat it even had changed. None of it really hit home until they killed third party apps and started striking down the resulting protests like dystopian authoritarians. That’s when they fully lifted their masks and came out as the nazis they had become.

What skills do you need to be an embedded dev?

The LaTeX SE is also very useful. The official documentation of LaTeX and especially of third party packages, is often hard to read and it’s hard to find what you’re looking for. You can end up on the documentation on Overleaf,but they don’t go I to depth too much.

I think it did ‘rm -rf ~/’ and crashed. Hence the ‘stopped thinking’

Terraform

I’ve never played with FORTRAN, but I’ve done some linear algebra with matlab. Matlab was interesting for the native handling if matrices. What makes FORTRAN so good at linear algebra?

A lot of it is c in a python raincoat

I work with a lot of frontenders who always say “why would we even need backend, we can just use firebase”.

I like how this forum thread has actual thoughtful and objective commentary that all point to how bad this feature is.

Putting the psyco in psycopg

I remember when reddit used to invite actual interesting celebrities to do AMA’s. Things never were quite the same after they fired Victoria.
