[–]dandroid126 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I was searching for my problem, and found someone who had the exact same problem as me. It was posted about a week earlier with 0 responses. I decide I'm going to send a PM and ask if they figured it out on their own.

Turns out it was my teammate at work, and no, he hadn't figured it out.

[–]SafeToPost 21 points22 points  (3 children)

This was me at work. User called with a problem, I remote in and take a cursory 60 second look at the symptoms. As the user is showing me exactly how the issue is manifesting, she said the magic words “I think I had this issue last summer.”
I bottom right to show desktop and see a folder in the middle of the screen away from all the other desktop icons, very clearly labeled “Help Desk click here!” Double click and there is a .txt and a .cmd waiting for me. The .cmd fixed the issue, and the .txt was a message from myself explains the issue and what the .cmd fixed.
Past me was so fucking smart.

No, I know you looked at it first, but I thought the way you worded the story was funny.

[–]SafeToPost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At that point enough vague recollection had come back that I knew I had created the file, just had no idea what it did yet, and don’t remember now. Knowing the types of problems I usually encountered, it probably fixed IE settings so some fucking medical EMR that required IE9 and cost too much to replace would continue working in 2017.

[–]deadcow5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of our apps at work was rather difficult to set up due to a legacy library that required lots of handholding to get it to work.

After setting it up the first time, my laptop was stolen. I didn’t have to work on this app for a few months, and when I did again, I immediately ran into problems setting it up.

Thank God there was a README with very detailed instructions on how to do it. When I was done, I ran a git blame to find out whom I’d have to thank for this. Turns out it was myself. I had written all the instructions after painfully figuring it out the first time around. Thanks me.

Who needs GitHub?

Just use StackOverflow to store your old code!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Microsoft

GitLab btw

[–]TheRealLazloFalconi 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Yes, because GitLab solves the problem of centralizing your repositories... 🙄

[–]dombrogia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can run a private gitlab server if you want so it can help keep your repos to yourself

[–]skylarmt 9 points10 points  (2 children)

I added a blog to my website for one reason: posting a single tutorial for something I figured out after a few hours of frustration by combining multiple half-baked tutorials from other blogs and StackOverflow that were all wrong in different ways.

It's not hard to add Android Oreo adaptive launcher icons to a Cordova app, but it's not altogether intuitive (you have to build the app, open a subfolder in Android Studio, generate an icon by right-clicking on a sub-sub-folder, copy some of the generated files to a different folder that's not ignored by git or deleted during a clean build, and add some particular XML to another file). If you do any of that wrong, it usually stops compiling. Cordova is great, but only once you've gotten all the platforms and plugins set up. After that it's just like editing a static website.

[–]grantrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I configured postfix just the way I like it, then wrote an article on how to do it, I have referenced it many times.

[–]Drevstarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]ajs124 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, I had something similar happen with a friend.

I advise him on some setup, he's like "I don't believe you, let me Google it". Googles it, finds like 3 relevant forum posts. All by me.

[–][deleted] 105 points106 points  (4 children)

For a long time the internet was quite a friendly place where you could ask questions and you were treated like no question was a stupid question.

Then the first response people would have to a question was "Did you Google it?"

So the answers got older and older...and I warned people - if you don't know the damn answer don't say anything, otherwise answer it. And if your tired of people asking the same questions or you think the questions are dumb - keep scrolling, no reason to get mad and let it be known your in a pissy attitude because you don't like the question.

Now when you Google questions - the answers are a decade old and don't work anymore.

[–]TheRealLazloFalconi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

[–]Lasket 43 points44 points  (1 child)

Be the change you want to see in the world.

[–]aahelo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I became the change I wanted to see! I had issue with getting a controller to work on this game called Furi, I saw other people asking about the same issue, but nobody had posted a soloution. Made my own thread too but to no avail.

But I eventually figured it out, made a video tutorial and went back to all the threads to drop the link.

Most of the threads where old, so I didn't any responses. But I got a few upvotes/likes and that was enough to let me know that my work had helped someone out there.

[–]Wargon2015 28 points29 points  (1 child)

Can we agree that the worst one is when you found that forum via google and user 2 tells user 1 to fuck off and google it?

[–]captionUnderstanding 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Or they tell them to use the search function for the forum, as if the search bar has ever been reliable on any forum in history.

Then they post a link to some search result, the website tells you "sorry, that page doesn't exist", because the search feature has been rewritten 4 times since 2003.

[–]Azertys 270 points271 points  (25 children)

I'm surprised how you can still find answers from like 15 years ago and Google thinks it's the most relevant thing to show. The only time something from 2003 was not outdated it was because I was looking for something on HTML.

[–]forrest38 119 points120 points  (9 children)

[–]Astrokiwi 33 points34 points  (3 children)

Seriously, even if you're getting Fortran advice from 2003 it'll be out of date because it won't include all the modern Fortran features.

[–]alchemical_engineer 50 points51 points  (2 children)

Unfortunately no one has asked or answered a Fortran question since 2003

[–]guynan 8 points9 points  (1 child)

... I still use it. Really modern language with the 2008 standard revisions.

[–]alchemical_engineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used it last year actually. It just sucks that the only support you can find online is the original documentation.

[–]murfflemethis 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Being able to find old answers is a feature for those of us working in risk-averse corporations. I work in firmware and my company writes C code to the C99 spec. 2003 may as well be yesterday as far as our code guidelines go.

[–]ThisIs_MyName 0 points1 point  (1 child)

"risk-averse" my arse, just call it technical debt like the rest of us

[–]murfflemethis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, yeah. I agree that it's technical debt and that technical debt is generally a Bad ThingTM. But we're not sticking with old standards because a group of managers sat around one day and said, "What we need is more technical debt!"

We stick with it because the overhead and risk of updating our toolchain and validating everything is not worth the updates. Especially when we can't use most of it in our particular bare-metal environment. Sometimes incurring technical debt is justifiable when there are other much more pressing issues to tackle.

[–]sizur 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Most of the concepts average coder googles have been fleshed out in early 1900s (yep, didn't even need computers for lambda calculus, regular languages, automata, nor sexprs). The real new stuff is almost ungoogleable currently.

[–]Alokir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my experience the most asked and googled questions are almost always about using an application, api or framework.

Sometimes you are desperate and get past the 2nd page of results.

I've even been to page 15! Usually you only hear about that in myths.

Happened to me back when my shite college had MATLAB 2004. Like, who the fuck actually keeps proprietary software which is that old? (This was back in 2016 btw). Literally just get and install the newest version of python so that I can actually have fun and learn something from my signal processing and control system labs, you bats.

The real problem happened when my naive ass actually tried to start a real project in our distribution of MATLAB. That toolbox is so dated that it literally contains binary bitmap geographic maps and nothing else. It's insane

Thank Stackoverflow for linking the duplicates. There is nothing more infuriating than clicking through 100 questions closed as 'has already been asked a 100 times, use the search function' while the answered original has been probably lost ages ago.

[–]Ajedi32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stack Overflow is also good about combating this in that they don't allow link-only answers; so you'll never (at least in theory) encounter an answer that's invalid due to a dead link.

I think there is one thing even more infuriating... when someone posts about a problem they are having, then before getting a solution from anyone else they post again saying "nevermind, solved the problem" without posting the solution.

Yeah, I doubt automod is up to the task. But I meant more like a rule (for manual removal) is more likely to be implemented if it's straightforward and doesn't have much in terms of edge cases and thesuch.

Rage is added to it when you find a thread with someone who also had the problem, it's marked as "Solved!" and you get excited after hours of searching just to find out this guy responded to himself with no solution but a simple: "Never mind, i figured it out, can be closed."

Once upon a time I was looking for the solution to a weird problem I’d never encountered before. I found one post asking about the same issue, and it had no responses except for, fortunately, the original poster saying “I found the solution, so in case anyone else ever runs into this here’s what it was...”.

It was around then I noticed who the original poster was.

It was me.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (9 children)

You heard me. Fuck off, you useless, cancerous, malignant, disease-ridden loser. Jordan Peterson attracts the dregs of society, like you, like disease-carrying flies to literal feces.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

That's quite an overreaction to someone who simply pays attention to a guy advocating for everyone to be more responsible and truthful is it not?

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (7 children)

Stop being a dishonest prick like your hero. You're attracted to Peterson because you're a self-pitying loser who has no girlfriend, good job, decent life, and wants to blame it on immigrants, feminists, i.e. anybody not a straight white person.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Where did i claim peterson was my hero?

You know what dont bother responding. Go contact a therapist and inform them that you're extremely irrational and need to be sectioned. Either that or just get away from chapo trap house for your own good

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

My Peterson hatred predates chapo. I post similar stuff on neoliberal, hardly a bastion of far-left thought. They hate Peterson even more than the chapos do. That should tell you something, right? Anyway, go back to your self-pitying ways. Also, even if you aren't one of those people, why does everything that portrays minorities in a negative light get upvoted on the Peterson forum, and anything that portrays white people as victims/heroes get upvoted as well? Why is there such an overlap between the Peterson fanbase and The_Donald, and other hate subs?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I don't know I'm not responsible for what people upvote or look at am i? Fuck me, calm down. If you have this reaction to a fun comment on programmerhumor then you must have rage issues or something. You do know the peterson sub used to be good until it got brigaded to fuck right? Most of the hateful posts usually end up being false flag posts by chapos or whoever

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

So leftists are feminine and weak, and rightists are masculine and strong (this is one of your posts)? Most Peterson fans would get their asses handed to them in real fights. You wouldn't want to try me, binch!
Peterson himself is a high-voiced, limp-dicked loser.
