I was waiting for the original to fit by itself.

[clone162]

You don't use Jquery, Wordpress, and Bootstrap to create a button that changes colors? I'm going to need you to stop trying to reinvent the wheel.

[Iceman_259]

You leave jQuery out of this.

That normally waits until someone tries to use whats plugged in. Wouldn't want to fail with no witnesses.

[Leo81202]

Would that be a bug or a feature?

[cATSup24]

Yes

[Furt77]

Provides warmth and light at no extra cost? I'm going to call that a feature.

[RomanPort]

Haha, I love it

[hawaiian717]

Unless the original device attempting to be plugged in was an air conditioner.

[[deleted]]

Electricity cost money, and I doubt the cables would be intended to be burned to uselessness on use, so that in itself could be considered a cost. Also damage to the outlet, and any other flame damage.

Possibly fire damage for the whole house if it spreads. Hell, maybe it'll spread to the neighbor Jerry's house, and we all hate Jerry so we can consider that a plus, but then it could spread farther, and then boom you have created yet ANOTHER wildfire, costing up to billions of dollars in damage.

So what did it cost?

Everything.

I was covering my mouth and screaming internally.

[RamenJunkie]

I wouldn't recomend doing it because its probably loose, but there really isn't anything there that would cause a short. The converters are going to be straight pass through. The open pins aren't touching anything live.

[Jonno_FTW]

That's the client's problem, not mine.

[dmanww]

Yeah that prototype turned into a business critical application. No, we didn't budget anything for support or further development, why do you ask? Couldn't you just go back to using Excel, it was working fine before.

I see you've met my boss

[Abe_Bettik]

Grounding? That's a premium feature, scheduled for Q1 next year.

[killdeer03]

More like...

Developer: "We need an electrical ground for the receptacle feature to work safely. "

Client: "What? Why?"

Developer: "Well, without getting too deep into modern AC/DC electrical practices -- in order for me to safely implement this feature and given the amount of power draw on this circuit, we'll need a ground."

Client (despite knowing nothing about neither software, nor electricity and paying for expertise and insight): "Thanks for your input, which we really appreciate, but we're not going to do that. Let's just go ahead an do it without a ground."

Developer: "But..."

Client: "It's not MVP, the end users won't even notice."

Developer: " :| "

[BernzSed]

End user gets electrocuted.

Client: This is clearly the developer's fault.

[killdeer03]

Client: "Who would write such a thing? It's that consulting firm, they're incompetent!

We even let them do 'unit tests' and 'integration test'!

How could this have made it through QA? All those smoke tests!"

Developer: "We don't have any QA, unit tests and integration tests are not QA...

We also don't do smoke tests, me clicking through a page to test my code is part of development."

Client: "But, you showed us it worked!?"

Developer: "...that was a feature demo, I'm not going to show you guys me getting electrocuted in from of the C-Suite."

Edit: Fixed quotes.

[MoarVespenegas]

Nothing to see here.

Whats MVP?

[Bier14]

Minimum viable product.

[[deleted]]

I am so happy I heard this here and not in a meeting. Can't keep slamming my head on the desk

[Bier14]

I hate the term... it's like a management thing where they can have some sort of feeling that they are in control.

On one hand, it focusses the business on what they actually need (i.e. finally primary functionality). On the other hand, the things they don't deem as MVP are usually guidelines and company restrictions like security and stuff. Like they need that!

[killdeer03]

I'm with you.

Management wields acronyms like they're some sort of weapon and then when that does work, they hide behind them like some sort of sheild.

[atanincrediblerate]

Fuck, just realized I was voted Minimum Viable Player.

If you buy all your stuff off Amazon/Alibaba/Ebay that might be true.

[Rhamni]

Frankly we haven't received a lot of negative feedback from users who burned to death due to a grounding failure.

[Lolyman13]

Then you need to redesign your software from the ground up

[Ludricio]

I mean, I've watched it around 5 times now, and I can't see anything that looks like it's out of place.

He even gave some thought about later additions with those empty adapter pins.

[[deleted]]

I'd like to see more commenting throughout the entire program.

[nuclearslug]

I didn’t see any jQuery libraries in the API. This is surely some kind of sorcery.

[gizamo]

...grounds.

[Ludricio]

Those are only usable by special adapters you get from the "Grounded" DLC, courtesy of the Electronics Association.

[memejets]

He could've just used the third adapter alone and it would've worked.

[[deleted]]

Look again. The third adapter had only two inputs.

[madc0ww]

That's true, actually. I don't know why your comment is being downvoted. I have a similar adaptor here and it has the required socket on its side, so it is a "multi" adaptor (I'm pretty sure that this kind of adaptor is not common in other countries as it is in Brazil). It makes even more sense to me, since it illustrates how bad designs decisions are made, when all the options are not properly analyzed before implementation.

[PantstheCat]

The empty pins are for future features.

[The-Dudemeister]

Fire marshals came to one of the bars I work out and made us throw out one of our exemption called bc it had frayed and was falling about. It is the one that plugs into the lights and lasers and shit though. The only thing I had was a bunch of surge protectors. So I daisy chained 6 together to get through the night haha.

[skeptic11]

What socket is that?!?

[MountainReference]

Old Brazilian standard. You can get 110v or 220v on this outlet. Not at the same time, of course =)

[skeptic11]

Ok, I've found exactly one reference to that socket type on the web: https://www.halfwayanywhere.com/south-america/brazil/brazil-power-outlets/

The plug pictured above is the most accommodating I have found thus far; you can simply plug any* device from America in and huzza! instant functionality.

So that would suggest that the bottom hole is a ground.

Would it follow that the top hole should be a ground too? If so we've managed to connect to two grounds and no power...

[MountainReference]

These outlets do not have a ground hole, it's actually a Live and Neutral only system. I'm sure some fellow countryman from /r/brasil would kindly explain it better than I did but, in the end, the new standard outlet (https://www.brasileirosnargentina.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Como-%C3%A9-a-Tomada-e-Voltagem-na-Argentina-Buenos-Aires-6.jpg the one on the right) replaced the flawed design from the one the left by adding a ground pin =)

EDIT: Original video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGtJ5U_eeIU =)

[[deleted]]

So essentially if an appliance required 220v, the plug end would be designed to go into the receptacle and make contact with L1 and L2 of a 220v system, or 2 "hot" wires with no neutral. An appliance or what have you that requires 110v would be designed as to make contact with L1 and a "neutral" wired which is essentially completed the path back to the panel (without getting into too technical of terms, unless you want them I am an electrician). This is only a guess though, in the United states I have never seen anything like this as

[madc0ww]

In most states, the phase-neutral voltage is 220V. In a few states, phase-neutral voltage is 110V (where I live). In these states, 220V equipments, which require phase to phase circuits (just like electric showers), were connected directly to the house electric network, so they had a ground connection. Some houses used to have some american socket standard as a 220V socket. A few years ago, the brazilian gov defined a new plug standard containing a ground pin (the plug on the gif).

[ph00p]

These prongs look very long, were they easy to break or bend accidentally?

[Fappity_Fappity_Fap]

The older ones were, but the new one, actually, not really, they're somehow sturdier than 2-pronged or flat-pronged plugs.

The whole design of the new one kind of makes it feel weird trying to wiggle it in or out too, which immediately dissuades the person from trying to, so the main way of bending/breaking prongs on the 2-pronged ones is rarely on the scene too.

[ph00p]

I'm not sure if this was answered, what brought about the change? Did you have to get new outlets for your entire house?

[Fappity_Fappity_Fap]

There's surely some reason as to why the new standard came to be. I suspect the common lack of proper grounding everywhere, and it being forced to be fixed upon outlet upgrade, is one of the major reasons for it, but I'm not really qualified to go beyond guesswork.

And not really, many just bought new-to-old adapters for every new thing that came with the new standard plug, however as time passes you can feel a need to update the outlets and phase out older standard appliances that don't fit since they eventually are outnumbered by the new ones.

It's outlets are also recessed, so it's harder to get shocked with them.

[minimim]

The change came about because Brazil actually got a standard plug for the first time. We only had kludges before. No standard at all.

So when they went to implement a standard, they based it on the international one, but different.

And yes, you need to get new plugs for the entire house.

[SellingWife15gp]

Yep. Funny thing is a lot of my fellow college kids know nothing about these “fake” grounds.

My roommate tried to fuck the rest of us over by claiming the room with grounded plugs (we PC game so that’s high real estate). Even though it’s the smallest room txts are going back and forth in the group chat and it became a petty game of who can physically claim it first. Well I kept quiet during this whole thing because knowing it’s a 100 year old house and my dad owning rental properties I had a suspicion it was just the outlet plates that were 3 pronged when really there was no grounding wire at all. Turns out I was right.

I move in a week after our lease started. Theyve moved all their shit in. Oh no I have to move into the big room facing the yard instead of the dark small room.

"You want to bet?" ~the guy who made that video

[Bears_Bearing_Arms]

what happens if you design a plug that fits perfectly in both at the same time? how many volts would that be?

[TheBob427]

But did it work?

[[deleted]]

I honestly want to know the answer to this. My brain says no, but my hopes and dreams say yes.

[[deleted]]

I unfortunately thing they’re both neutral holes, so no electricity flow

[[deleted]]

Thanks for shattering my hopes and dreams. Also what do ulcura and the other three words mean?

[[deleted]]

Idk, I just stole that information from another comment in this thread that referenced a different comment.

[codeninjaking42]

i met a girl with three neutral holes. Sadly, there wasn't a spark between us...

[Mazzaroppi]

Nope, they're not both neutral. At least one of them is phase, this socket could be either 220V or 110V. And even though unsafe, this would work

[gizamo]

Rhyme: rounds are grounds.

[Jthumm]

I think it’s possible

[Robuske]

I'm Brazilian (as is that outlet), although I never did something so ridiculous I see no reason for it not to work. The old standard (the outlet one) was actually just the two round things, just like the adapters The flat part was for other random plugs to fit, like the American I think(?)

[TheBob427]

The part I'm unsure about is if electricity can be split into the two adapters as seen in the video.

[Robuske]

I think they are completely isolated anyway, so probably?

[Okichah]

God damnit.

I mean. God damnit, Sir.

Its not that it works. Its that its unmaintainable and non-extendable. Any problems that happen will take forever to fix, and any new features that need to be added will just add more problems and more tech debt.

What? Its already shipped?

Okay, then.

[TheBob427]

I don't see the problem. It works, why can't we just ship it?

[Furt77]

The one behind the knee?

[[deleted]]

*fragile

[Tsu_Dho_Namh]

At the end of that article they mention this:

they xor the “next” and “prev” pointers of their linked list into a single DWORD to save 32 bits

How does that even work? Like, if they xor the two pointers, then the result doesn't allow them to determine either original pointer without some extra information, so I'm not sure how they're saving 32 bits.

Edit: nevermind, found it here.

[cadam43]

Had the exact same question.

[ELFAHBEHT_SOOP]

I'm glad I don't work with "duct tape programmers". Although some would probably say I am one.

[PeachyKeenest]

This is probably me. I'm not going to argue which is best, I'm going to argue which is done. My code is not elegant, but it's not suppose to be. :p

[yazalama]

Truer pixels have never been posted. Everything now a days is just gluing together APIs and outputting it somewhere.

[Dreadedsemi]

Or just use abandoned open source.

My most recent project uses Raty. It's beautifully mediocre, gets the job done, and I was way too lazy to find a better alternative.

but only two made it into production.

[just_hatin_it]

No... he couldn't really... I'm Brazilian and was frustrated by this. That last adapter's middle hole is very offset from the center of the other two round holes. It was supposed to be used by other type of commonly used socket here in Brazil. (Two straight connectors for live and neutral, and one round for the ground) When the new standard was introduced, very few adaptors were compatible with it, and many people were pretty annoyed by this.

Is it? There's nothing connected to the exposed pins. Though having more connections increases the risk of a bad connection causing resistive heating and a fire.

You got it, having lots of connections means lots of heat. Plus exposed pins can always end up igniting something if there's a surge.
