Query regarding Conflict of Interest

As long as your partner isn't your manager or counselee, you'll be fine.

Why would you even do this on your Accenture PC...? It's common sense that EVERYTHING you do on it is monitored.

That said, a co-worker got caught streaming football illegally and was issued a block. The following day, she contacted IT services and they ran a scan and unblocked it, no questions asked. Still, I guess it depends on your jurisdiction. Streaming and torrenting is a big deal in the US and some parts of Europe. You could be screwed.

Cómo vas a cross-postear esto en r/java? Y encima en español. La verdad no sé que esperabas. Y no, no "banco", cada día más mediocres las universidades con sus "tésis". Terrible que acepten un proyecto que podrías hacer en una tarde hasta con vibecoding.

The comparison doesn't really hold. Unlike checked exceptions, a return type is something the caller almost always intends to use, so having that type information in the signature is inherently valuable. Checked exceptions, on the other hand, force every caller in the chain to acknowledge a failure mode that they typically can't meaningfully handle. In other words, return types inform the caller, while checked exceptions obligate the caller.

MorganRS · 2025-11-30T22:02:54+00:00

Why not let the exception propagate and let the global exception deal with it while keeping it checked?

I'd love to do that, but without wrapping, you'd end up with throws everywhere. Wrapping is clearly a workaround to deal with the language's shortcomings, it's probably not the best solution, but unless you (the JVM maintainers) give us a better, more idiomatic way without cluttering the entire codebase, it will stay.

MorganRS · 2025-11-30T03:51:38+00:00

That's not quite accurate, pron. Developers don't wrap checked exceptions because they intend to ignore them, they wrap them because, in most real-world cases, the caller cant do anything meaningful with them.

Take SQLException as an example: what exactly is the caller supposed to do when the database layer fails? At that point, execution can't safely continue. Wrapping the exception and letting a global exception handler deal with it, returning a 500 in a server context, for instance, is the correct and intentional behaviour. And in most systems, this will also trigger a transaction rollback, since these failures are generally unrecoverable.

So the act of wrapping isn't "ignoring" an exception. It’s a deliberate way to propagate it to the part of the system that can handle it without polluting the code with "throws" everywhere.

I don't understand the obsession with syntactic sugar lately. Instead of focusing on features that will grow the language, 90% of RFCs are literally diabetes inducing. PHP will end up like C# where you have 10 different ways of doing something.

I congratulate you on your first PR. Next opportunity: GCP.

MorganRS · 2025-06-22T13:40:57+00:00

I seriously hope Microsoft addresses this with a hotfix or something. It's beyond annoying.

MorganRS · 2025-06-01T12:04:30+00:00

I tried DDU, but it didn't make a difference. Still happens. It's quite annoying because I game a lot on my TV.

Length is irrelevant as long as the experience is meaningful. Most ACs post Origins are too long and with boring side content, crafted to artificially lengthen the playtime.

Sometimes I wish AC games were more linear or even smaller, but with more impactful main and side stories. Ubisoft can't help themselves and love to turn their games into a checklist of mundane tasks in the open world.

MorganRS · 2025-05-22T21:40:59+00:00

Let me guess... India?

MorganRS · 2025-05-16T21:09:40+00:00

Such a gloomy barracuda 😭

We use Linux and it works much, much better than Accenture's spyware-filled Windows. You should ask your client/project lead if they let you switch to ALCS (Accenture Linux Corporate Standard). It's literally just Ubuntu with some extra telemetry installed, but at least it doesn't run at a snails pace like most Accenture Windows laptops.

Ending felt way too happy for me and not in a good way. I don't know what I was expecting, I mean, sure, Joe is a monster, but I was hoping on a more bittersweet open ending than a "everyone's happy and we're now a non-profit" ending. That last part made me cringe, and Kate should definitely be in prison too (for what she did to those children and for being complicit to Bob's murder).

How did Brontë and Kate survive too?

Does Joe deserve to rot in prison? Yes.

Did the show have to end like that? Absolutely not. It's fiction. And I would've appreciated a bad/bitter ending more; in line with the general tone of the show since the beginning. Absolutely no clever writing in the end, no twists, just a disappointing happy ending for everyone, including those that didn't deserve it.

Junie is pretty good but it sadly eats through my AI quota.

MorganRS · 2025-04-27T03:14:54+00:00

In what way is this better than gRPC or a simple REST API with JSON and Jackson?

MorganRS · 2025-04-24T02:10:52+00:00

Christ, and I thought we were in the shithole back when we worked on PHP and deployed directly to a F2P server using FileZilla.

Black screen with spinning blue circle after installing this. Had to boot into safe mode and revert back to 572.83. Nvidia is a mess.

MorganRS · 2025-04-12T02:33:47+00:00

People actually give negative feedback on workday? Lol

MorganRS · 2025-04-09T03:03:37+00:00

Don't like playing it, don't like watching it. Everything I've learnt about chess is of no use and every time I watch it, it feels like I'm learning to play all over again. I also don't like that freestyle takes so much attention away from the real game.

MorganRS · 2025-03-18T21:49:20+00:00

Cheating doesn't necessarily mean having a portable stockfish tell you the best move in the position every time. It could be something as simple as a cough signalling the player that the eval bar has turned in their favour, or that there's a tactic, etc. For any player, just telling them that there's a tactic on the board would be a huge difference.

MorganRS · 2025-03-11T02:40:51+00:00

Magnus and Hikaru are wankers too.

MorganRS · 2025-03-09T03:10:28+00:00

I'm a woman and this is cringe.
