CEO "If you make costs to build a home office for covid, please be aware that you can fully declare your bills, and you'll retain ownership over the ordered goods. Please all buy some good desk chairs and keyboards, so you can work ergonomically"

6 months later, CFO: "Bittersweet, why did you try to declare €35000? What are these invoices even? Concrete rebar?"

Me: "CEO told us to build a home office. I got permits from the town to dig a souterrain layer under my house. This is just for the foundation, the bills for drainage pumps, sheetpiling, geothermal heat exchangers, insulation, flooring, electricity and of course desk & chair will follow later"

CFO: 😳

(To be fair, I really did make those costs, but was just trolling by uploading all the material bills)

First pull request just got merged! Woooo!

@Apple iPadOS an iOS teams: you puZies.

You release one buggy iOS / iPadOS after another, each piling on features and bugs, without fixing crowd documented long standing defects.

But what really pisses me off is when you don't have the balls to own up to your mistakes. This is at least the 3rd time you have re-released an iOS / iPadOS update under the same version number. This time it is 14.5.1

I have iPadOS 14.5.1 installed and the iPad is now telling me I need to update to 14.5.1. Just own up to it, you released buggy shit and you need to release another bug fix days after... call it 14.5.2. Call it like it is and we respect you. Try to hide it and you lose our respect, you pussies.

If Microsoft did one thing right, they defined the release sequencing:
X.Y.Z

Changing X means rewrite the manual it is so new and improved (🖕🏻 you Adobe and FileMaker)

Changing Y means it is an update with more features than bug fixes but not a generational change that constitutes a rewrite of anything (🖕🏻 you macOS team for bastardizing with 10.X.Y)

Changing Z means you fixed your stuff, we respect you for owning up to your mistakes.

Man-up Apple, grow some balls and stop confusing people with trying to cover up your screw ups. It's all about the Z.

That glorious moment when you realize that the toy project that everyone scorned you for wasting time on three years ago has become a central building block of your company's software lineup.

10 years ago when I started this path I was undecided between computer science and helicopter pilot. I made the right decision!

I’d have a cafe by the sea and have good coffee and nice homemade cakes.

I actually think about this a lot and then I have to come back to reality and realise I’m not that good at baking and I have bills to pay and there’s a pandemic on so nothing is open anyway.

Is it truth or nah? 😂😂

I would probably open 2 locations.
A small seaside cafe that would bring exotic types of coffee, roast them in house, package them and sell them. Also have a small breakfast menu for the coffee lovers to enjoy before their walks on the beach.

The second would be in the middle of a busy city a concept of bar/hostclub with a twist. I would hire mostly women and men that have minors/degrees in psychology, teach them how to bartend, and have like a bar/therapy place where the people that work horrible jobs can come drink chill and feel a bit better and not get blackout drunk / fall into alcoholism

I'd live in a ditch

My mind:"simple as"
My keyboard: "simple ass"

My manger: 😲

Lawyer then transit to politics.
Still not sure is I dodged a bullet or not

Started a new job in a small agency. React only, totally remote, freelance, and the projects are interesting.

It's only my second day but I much prefer these conditions of employment than my previous job (good riddance angular)

Dont worry what about what comes from naysayers. The Javascript/Typescript route is a great choice. Ive been trying to get away from node for years and back into a more sTeAdY side of things with C# or PHP but nope, as soon as anyone gets whiff that your generally great with JS, theres an offer on the table. The grass is green over here. It might be a bunch of 25 yr old hipsters eating it but its green.

While working on my localization algorithm, I also set up a baseline I can compare my results to. I chose AMCL which is the go-to localization package everyone uses in ROS.
I took a peek at their code and found this atrocity - "ad hoc weighting scheme" where probabilities that are not mutually exclusive are added together, and also taken to the power of 3 because why the hell not!

Did you hear about the monkeys who shared an Amazon account? They were Prime mates.

When you chop down a tree it does not magically levitate because you misconfigured the chainsaw.

Lumberjack or carpenter would be a good life for me. Just being able to do something with physical consequences.

A home designer ( a.k.a Interior Designer )

Ever since I got my home renovated 5 years ago, I love finding ways to make the houses look and feel better.

That's true...

I’d probably be a florist or a baker:
Florist is a job where you work with nice and fulfilling things, while baker is well paid and I like to make bread!
