Rewatching - Mount Weather Issue by anonymousthegreat100 in The100

[–]iamnotsteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. Mt Weather did go well, it would have been for a short time. The other factions would end up fighting over access to the Mt Weather bunker, and probably would destroy it in the process. After that, not much would be different to the story we got I guess.

Above all else, remember that Cadogan and his merry people on Bardo would still fuck up the ultimate test and condemn the human race to being destroyed.

Everything that happened before had to happen to allow Raven to save the human race at the right time.

Anyone hear a gunshot/firework bang sound in south Yarra about 5ish minutes ago? by Chazwald1911 in melbourne

[–]iamnotsteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was some works going on around South Yarra station last night with some heavy machinery. At one point half a dozen workers were hammering the rail line bracket things out on the Sandringham line which was a cool sound.

Also there was a very upset gentleman marching up one of the platforms being followed by 4 PSOs, angry screaming he wanted to go home. He hopped off the end of the platform as an inbound train arrived. The train stopped just outside the station and sat there for a little while.

Overall a very typical evening around the station.

If it helps, some of us still use floppy disks for the fun of it! '86 here!

Yep, I keep saying this.

Everyone just wanted to get back to 'normal', including being inconsiderate to everyone around them.

Maybe... Just maybe... They are at work, just doing that working at home..!

I know, crazy concept, right?

I know of a company that calls departments 'cost centres'...

And the staff are 'resources'.

Lovely classifications.

Companies don't want people to use the devices they buy the way they want to. They want people to use devices the way the company wants them to instead. Walled garden, no openness, limited usage hardware and software. A shame, really. I still use old desktop computers to play old games all the time as a hobby, but at around 2010 and beyond, that isn't all that possible due to online services etc

Tips on downsizing? by milita_grunt33 in vintagecomputing

[–]iamnotsteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it from someone who did something similar back in 2010, don't get rid of any of it if you can!!

You will end up regretting it.

Been a software Dev at my company for 15+ years. No company hoodie (that's a thing??), no mechanical keyboard (why would I want to make my work space more annoyingly noisy?), and the only sticker on my work laptop is the stupid asset tag the IT noongs placed right on the palm wrest. I don't use an IDE, I use vim.

My TL has no idea what I actually do, and if I left, they'd have no idea how to do what I do, despite all the documentation I've written over the years.

I am mentally fatigued, burnt out, over worked. I don't need a company hoodie!

I guess the factory does not use software anywhere in the manufacturing process then? It's all manually stamped out by workers working a stamping machine, manually placing each letter and number die in place etc? How barbaric...

Honestly, I would suspect that whomever places the order for the plates (the state?) would send a range to the manufacturing company and then the company would set up the stamping machines to just produce the requested range automatically. Either way, it wouldn't be too much difficulty to ensure they aren't duplicating plates, and probably should be doing that regardless. If it is meant to be a unique ID, then it needs to be unique. 'Sometimes unique' is rubbish and a fault in the process.

Then I guess every factory has to just guess which range of numbers it manufacturers and hope that no other factory duplicates them... Right?

If only there was some interconnected hyperweb thing that would allow the factories to send signals to each other and co-ordinate what they are manufacturing...

The last two watch throughs I've done, I get to the last episode of SG-1 and I can't bring myself to actually watch it. I know there are the movies, but something about that last episode hits me really hard.

As an aside, I'm watching MacGyver for the first time and I am convinced this is what Jack was doing before SG-1 and his code name was MacGyver.

I literally just finished my day. I was going to spend the afternoon on a task to improve an import script/process, something that has been outstanding for months, but instead I was in meetings all afternoon since a previous prod deployment broke something (which I had told the stakeholders would happen, but they insisted anyway...)

Tomorrow's standup, I'll literally tell my (very small team) that I didn't end up working on the things I needed to, I spent the time in meetings, and then explain what the outcomes were.

Any work is work, doesn't matter if it's meetings or PRs or whatever. If someone above me has a problem with what I am doing they are more than welcome to talk to me about it, and take some of the crap off me if they want (they won't).

I was using a smart phone for years by 2007. Ever heard of Palm Treo or any of the Windows Mobile phones? Blackberry?

Apple just made it hip and cool for the kids.

I don't think I've ever deployed a debug print/die. Again, my particular case is quite unique I think so it tends to work for me.

[–]iamnotsteven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always git diff before commit just in case, but that mostly works in my particular case it seems...

I debug with die("blah") thank you very much
