So today I got to talking about "plane jacking" with a coworker. To me it has always been called hijacking a plane. I have heard of car jacking though. For some reason plane jacking sounded like masturbation in a plane. Don't know why.

Me: So calling it plane jacking is going to lead to someone attempting to join the plane jacking mile high club and having the toilet damage their penis due to sucking.

Coworker: Nobody is long enough to have their penis reach into there...

Me: I am so sorry. I feel bad for you.

Coworker: ...

Me: That was really good wasn't it?

Coworker: Yeah, but I hate it. <laughs>

Did you know that Set Theory is a fundamental building block for studying databases? : )

Was thinking about in game scripting language so people can do "hacking". I figured I would use something like V8 since it has support for sandboxing. But in game I would call it JankyScript/JankScript. That way nobody gets mad about trademark.

I think it would really funny. And JS purists won't get out of whack if I add commands to it.

Which is better: JankyScript or JankScript?
I like them both.

Having an Active Noise-Cancelling headset is a gift to a Software Developer. Concentrated engineering in any noisy environment.

The dawn of a new generation in luxury personal equipment.

The ANC headset is a premium lightweight, high-performance headset that meets the demands of the new generation of upper-income urban software developers.

The ANC has the conveniences of earplugs, a wireless communications device, and a device without wires.

Muting power is a matter of convenience with the ANC headset.

My chocolate covered bacon is cooling right now:

Why "remote-first" companies, have now all as a policy the "twice a year" gatherings? If i wanted to leave my place and break my routine, i would prefer hybrid positions. Do i have to travel over the sea to balance the gained commute time all at once? Cant they think, that the fact that i apply for remote position, means that i have my reasons? (weirdo life, having a garden and animals, having family, take care of some person with health conditions, having my self health conditions, being weirdo again, living in nature etc)

Found a nice house I want to buy. It is at the moment in foreclosure. So, we need the documents for it, to see if it worth it.

Documents are held by an agency. They want 360 € as an annual subscription service to share it with us. Sure.. No issue, let's contact the court.

Oh, the court says they cannot give us a copy, we can just look at it. After making an appointment in person and driving down there. How is the agency getting it, then? After all, the agency promises access to all foreclosure documents Germany wide. They can give me a fucking copy. Court states on its website, there won't be any answer via email. I need to call them and go down in person.

Well, this is why the game is rigged. I have nothing against a service that accumulates all these information from around the country. That's a fair business model. But then the enshittification started and everyone else gets worse service so I have little choice but to use their service.

would you prefer to get bigger bonus than see money wasted on company parties with expensive bands and foods ? am i the only one having the feeling, that as an adult professional, i prioritize more to get a good car or having a nice furniture , than having a good party?

Software RAID 1 is better than hardware RAID 1! Here's why:
1. Hardware RAID controllers do fail, and when they do, they kill all hard drives connected to them.
2. If your controller didn't fry your hard drives when it failed, you'll have to find the exact replacement, or you can kiss your data goodbye. You installed a hardware RAID array using second hand Broadcom controller three years ago, and now it failed? You better get on looking for the same controller of same revision running the same firmware version (of course you can't update firmware yourself) if you want your data back. Oh, Broadcom discontinued this model? Tough cookies. With software RAID, everything is easily recoverable.
3. You save a lot of money you can invest in other parts of your system. Good hardware controllers, even second hand ones, don't cost less than $200.

Performance loss is negligible.
RAID built into your motherboard is the worst of both worlds: it's just the software RAID you can't reallly control. Don't do that.

Hardware RAID is only worth it if you have a contract with your hardware supplier that says they're responsible for managing your RAID array. They have the resources to replace failed controllers properly. You know how IBM installs full rack worth of servers just to disable 70% of them because of your plan limitations? It's easier for them to do that than to physically go there and take servers away, just to reinstall them when you grow. Yeah, that kind of contract at that kind of level. If you're there, you don't need me telling you all that.

TL;DR: if you want to buy a two 8TB hard drives for $150 each on newegg and a used RAID controller to make RAID 1 array, you can make both 16TB _and_ make your system more reliable. Reliability is what you're after if you want RAID 1, isn't it?

What are you do... wha... no! stop! are you gonna buy a raid box from Aliexpress? are you fucking crazy?!

Okay, so just now I literally had to force-reboot a laptop because I could not exit vim.

damn.. It really IS a trap.

I just want to express that...

I
LOVE
PROPERLY

Because I had worked on a project 1 year ago, and with the other projects I had done in the mean time, picking this back up would be challenging. And guess what! I still have my comprehensive manual I wrote for it in detail! Beautiful! Everything neatly written, everything explained, every field, every troubelshooting issue!

I managed to solve every setup issue in seconds! Aah! Aah! Scream for joy. lol

readable just means "write it in the way I typically write / understand it in"

which makes it a confusing moving target of whatever the local consensus is... and I don't think these people are self-aware of this fact then just get mad at others for not "getting it" automatically, bah

We have pay equity so everyone is paid fairly but you can’t discuss pay with anyone. Seems a little suspicious

Finally forced myself to play one ending of Cyberpunk. Kinda felt underwhelming with no real impact on the world. All the player's motivations are pretty selfish. Got tired of playing and started playing Minecraft again. ATM10.

ATM10 has shaders and tons of cool mods. Plus rewards for doing basic shit so getting started takes less time. I will see how long before I get bored of Minecraft again.

Been taking tons of notes on gameplay I want, and don't want. I feel like a fun/epic rpg would be great with base and vehicle building.

I hate zoomers so much

Why did the programmer go broke?
He used up all his cache reserves.

Apple be like:
I RECEIVE: $700
YOU RECEIVE: a phone with USB 2.0 in 2025

Finally getting to really try out WSL2.

Something must have changed since I last tried it because it's working great running my Jetbrains IDEs graphically and I am able to run NGINX and MySQL no problem. I even have caja installed and it runs great too.

It feels so much snappier than VirtualBox, even though the GPU acceleration is still not really working.

I'm mixed on finally learning Docker. It's a kind of insidious evil that is damaging the industry in a hundred ways, but it is an industry staple so not learning it would be foolish.

I am legit done with neovim. For like couple of months already i tried to code on vim, i really like the hands on approach and less mouse movements so you can be more faster. But my god every starter kit such as NvChad or LazyVim or anything in between has soo many bugs its crazy. Last time i got ^M at the end of each field because the line endings on my mac are different than on my windows machine. But why the fuck am i supposed to even see that in the first place? it doesnt even appear in VSCode. The integrated terminals are shit aswell, in NvChad if i would accidentally hit tab it would switch to a buffer and i couldnt get that terminal back no matter what, and i had to end the application using the task manager. And on LazyVim that fucking thing doesnt know its place, if you open up the file explorer first then the terminal its gonna fill the entire space at the bottom leaving the file tree very small. Overall everything feels clunky buggy messy, i end up debugging vim more than writing actual code. And i seriously cannot understand how is this supposed to make you more productive, i think this is either used by oldheads who started coding initally on vim or by IT snobs who believe they are superior to these "VsCode soyjaks" like myself.

🎶 If you're struggling and you know it write a script
If you're existentially hanging from a cliff
If you need something to bug on
And you have noone left to hug on
If you're crazy and you know it write a script

If the data fails the schema compensate
Otherwise your script will fail till iterate
If the datas html and you're in xml he'll
Because my son your script it cannot break

If your repeats you normalize
You make some lookups just to stay alive
When morons steal the world's purpose
And walk around like fucking robots
My son find find sonething on which to fix your eyes
