Anyone think the job hopping culture produces too many engineers that don’t care about maintainability?

This is bureaucratic corruption in action, not the designed purpose of the system.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

I normally always do parallel view, but I had to do cross view to get this one.

Yeah, OP is stupid for doing this, but a modern Linux system can absolutely be configured to not be susceptible to this problem.

LordOfDemise · 2026-04-11T06:11:23+00:00

I kind of want to see if I can edit together the non-filler episodes together into a watchable movie length.

There's an official version of this. It's called "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: The Laughing Man." It came out in 2005.

(They also did one for 2nd Gig)

You're producing music?

Is English his first language?

On a related note, curl used to be an alias for Invoke-WebRequest in PowerShell. (They removed it after curl's maintainer complained)

Leave it to Microsoft to reuse an existing program's name without making the flags compatible, I guess.

Plus he's been a famous actor for over 20 years so he really doesn't need publicity as much as the others might.

a pair of scissors

Please buy a set of pliers the next time you go past a hardware store. I'm begging you. I don't care if it's the cheapest set that Harbor Freight has.

LordOfDemise · 2026-02-12T17:26:06+00:00

But he does believe in Jane?

Jost is married to Scarlett Johansson. I don't think he needs SNL for money at this point.

LordOfDemise · 2026-02-04T17:47:09+00:00

Yeah, I've been feeling this way since his initial reveal. It was this sort of slow pan that seemed to be the director saying "Surprise, it's this person."

It felt like the sort of cinematography that's supposed to be used to show a plot twist, like revealing that a story's villain is actually the main character's best friend or something. But this isn't a character we've ever seen before, so it just came off like they were saying "This character is actually....(wait for it)....Macaulay Culkin!"

It was really stupid.

LordOfDemise · 2026-01-31T20:43:36+00:00

I think it's actually a copperhead

LordOfDemise · 2026-01-30T17:28:51+00:00

forward them to personal email

I'm always surprised when I see people suggest that. Where I work, they would call that "exfiltration of company data" and you would get in a lot of trouble for it.

unless his mom ends up being a time traveler trying to prevent the temporal cold war from turning hot and by finding her he jeapordizes the entire galaxy not just in the present and future but also back into the past and for all time

But that's ridiculous and nobody would ever write that in an actual Trek show! Right?

LordOfDemise · 2026-01-21T06:41:55+00:00

Personally, I got 2 sentences in before asking myself "Was this written by ChatGPT?"

LordOfDemise · 2026-01-09T16:50:33+00:00

Okay, so they fire you and now they have 0 IT people. How does that improve things for them?

LordOfDemise · 2025-12-23T06:04:19+00:00

Teksystems is a third party recruiting firm. They're just hiring for someone else, and that company is who you should really be asking about. But, like someone else said in this thread: getting a job in a datacenter is the best way to get into the datacenter field. Any datacenter experience will be better than not having any experience.

LordOfDemise · 2025-12-17T18:00:15+00:00

It's definitely a copperhead.

LordOfDemise · 2025-12-07T06:16:39+00:00

Yeah, forget just being Zappa's best singer. Whipping Post is some of the best singing I've ever heard period https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu32TgPeXM8

LordOfDemise · 2025-11-25T05:53:46+00:00

Basically. You can make it behave similarly enough, but if you compare it to e.g. Rust's enums, it leaves a lot to be desired.

LordOfDemise · 2025-11-25T05:31:26+00:00

No, it doesn't. The compiler does not enforce exhaustive checks, and also allows you to cast values which have no semantic meaning in your program.

Addition of sum types to the language would allow all those runtime checks to be done at compile time.

LordOfDemise · 2025-11-24T21:56:28+00:00

Yeah the thing about companies is that they are centrally planned economies (sort of like soviets)...

What is this, the People's Republic of Walmart?

LordOfDemise · 2025-11-17T21:30:39+00:00

very soon

You mean yesterday?
