*Daily standup*

"What did you do yesterday?"

"Errr.... I appeared in 16 LinkedIn searches."

(Yet another rant on TAR commands.)
Whose idea was it to make TAR file listing "tar -t" and not "tar -l"?

How does it make sense? It goes against intuition.

It would have been more logical to make "-t" tarfile instead of "-f", and to make "-l" list.

I turned on slow query log just for funsies and was immediately humbled.

Looks like I've got my next sprint lined up.

Does it compile?
Holy shit IT COMPILES

IT COMPILES
IT RUNS

IT'S ALIIIIIVEE!!!

Why did 10 get paid less than "10"?

There was a workplace inequality.

Why are fish so smart? Because they live in schools!

I've never felt that great: just finished school, get my first job, get drunk with friend. Hope it will not end too soon.

I am drunk af so I apologize for this but the entire reason I work all the time is to keep myself from killing myself. My late girlfriend committed suicide because she couldn’t keep others from judging her. I love her so much… can’t decide if I’d be happier alive here or dead with her. 💔💔💔

What’s the object-oriented way to become wealthy? Inheritance.

Hello there!
I'm going insane...
For years, ever since she's had a Laptop and a smartphone, my grandmother complains that they're slow.
Every few weeks she's like "yeah transfer all my photos from my phone to the laptop"
Okay, sure...

Laptop: windows 10, 500GB HDD, I3-2330M, 4GB DDR3...
It's constantly maxed out with everything. Booting up takes >4 minutes, transfer rates from her fuckPhone are around 2.4MB/s if you're lucky.

I keep telling her, for years now, to invest in a new laptop and phone, since her smartphone has only got 8GB of usable space, most of which (>5GB) are used by her fucking apps and partly by the OS.

She's, what I like to call "Beratungsresistent", roughly translates to "Resistant to suggestions/counseling/trying to genuinely help her".

I'm seriously getting sick of it.
I told her in December of last year to make a budget plan and I'll get her a well-performing laptop and phone with it.

"Ughhh, everything will be so different..."
HOLY SHIT I KEEP TELLING YOU I'LL PUT WINDOWS 10 ON IT, THE SAME OPERATING SYSTEM AS ON YOUR CURRENT PIECE OF SHIT LAPTOP AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO RE-LEARN USING AN ANDROID!

She's not stupid, but fucking lazy. She genuinely doesn't give a flying fuck about her devices until they start getting slow. I TOLD HER A BILLION TIMES THAT THIS IS WHAT SHE'LL HAVE TO LIVE WITH IF SHE DOESN'T UPGRADE HER HARDWARE OR GET A NEW DEVICE!!! LIKE HOW ARE YOU SO FUCKING DENSE NOT TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF AN HDD VS AN SSD AFTER I EXPLAINED IT A THOUSAND TIMES!

IT'S ALWAYS THE FUCKING SAME, I AM SUPPOSED TO MAGICALLY MAKE HER DEVICES FAST AGAIN, BUT I CAN NOT, FOR THEY NEVER WERE!!!

I feel like I'm about to explode at some point. It's the same thing every couple of weeks right after I come home from work and want to have a relaxed evening from a stressful job.

Rant over, have a good day.

sunny day, put plants outside
cleaned under plants... then dusted... I had no energy when I woke up but evidently somehow I'm doing spring cleaning. I'm only halfway done, if that

the kitchen lightbulb burnt out today coincidentally. asked roommate if we had extra. he said no, but strangely said he'd go buy and replace it. whoa. we have several dead light bulbs and he hasn't replaced them in years. he actually replaced them all today... very weird

anyway, the one in the kitchen is bright blue now. it seems like all the nightlights in the kitchen are also now permanently on because of it. I do not know if I like this

Fuck you AMD for being too lazy to implement VK_EXT_fragment_shader_interlock even though your hardware supports it [1]

It's literally *the* best way to implement any sort of order independent transparency ( https://web.archive.org/web/... )

But noo, not enough people are using it so too bad. Now you just have to render transparent objects all fucked up and bad looking on AMD hardware because "we don't feel like it"

What rule they breaking though?

What did the Java code say to the C code? You've got no class.

I wonder how many bitflips did they trigger last night...

Looks pretty. But much too scarry when you understand what it is.

Why didn’t the orange win the race? It ran out of juice.

So today was a bit more productive than usual.

What is red and smells like blue paint? Red paint!

Hi 👋

Is there a good alternative to using a MacBook Pro?

I'm in the process of getting new hardware for work.

I asked my 2 younger kids: What is the dumbest thing a teacher has said this year?

11 year old: "My teacher said our class is like a big family."

How is she at 11 so wise?

I applied for four jobs today, including GitHub. I feel kinda proud of myself.

These e-mails should have been meetings!

Starting a new job today, let‘s see how this turns out

7 day streak of running 2.5 km every morning!

SCADA we have systems similar to cobol in banking but pay you 80% less to maintain it.

zzzquil.

What is the tallest building in the world? The library, it’s got the most stories!

Today’s my work anniversary, which also means it’s the anniversary of the day my friend Kirk got a Twitter response from Missy Elliott after he tweeted about writing a function called missyElliott that takes a data structure, flips it, and reverses it (something that may have been a crazy thing that happened once but that we as his friends tell everyone about and celebrate every year, much to his horror).

The org we volunteer for (and that he’s a maintainer of) even went so far as to create Kirk merch (https://store.virtualcoffee.io/sear...)
