Because 'exit 1' just doesn't have the same dramatic flare.

I fucking hate toxic positivity. Every fucking corporation pushes the notion that "lifE iS aWeSomE, wE cArE abOuT pEoPle" and other such bullshit, and when you point it out, they call you a bad, toxic person.

No, you don't care about your community, let alone the whole world. You're just trying to make people believe that spyware, wage slavery and being fired by a neural network is the norm. You're making money off of those who don't have a choice.

If you account all people, not just American white rich 1%, it turns out that for the vast majority of people life is either an uphill battle or straight up nightmare. People are working in shifts and have no time or emotional resource to spend on themselves. Most of the people can't afford a house or a flat. Even those who can still suffer from mental illnesses, to the point where there are more mentally challenged people than mentally healthy ones. The word "neurotypical" meaning "mentally healthy" is wrong.

You want nothing but to sell your stuff and earn more money off of Chinese and Indian factory workers who work 16-hour shifts. Maybe your life is great, but aggressively pushing this notion is a big, wet spit in the face of humanity.

Fuck you. Fuck your space rockets. Fuck your twitter accounts. Fuck your institutionalized exploitation of the weak. Fuck your products. Fuck your "open source". Fuck your "GDPR compliance". Fuck your offshores, your hedge funds and your tax evasion. Fuck your bailouts. Fuck your ships spilling tons of crude oil, fuck your factories, fuck your slave labor, fuck your anti-suicide nets in Chinese dormitories.

One day, because of you, our planet will become unlivable. You will hop into your fancy space rocket to go to that top-1% elite Mars colony. Nice job.

But I will pray for a solar flare to hit you and turn you and your fucking rocket into radioactive ash.

I'm fairly certain my boss'.....boss (didn't want to count them.. it's high up the chain, and slightly lateral) thinks I'm incredibly weird. I have too many sports injuries to be fully functional and they all flare up while I'm sitting at my desk. To offset this, I stand up or walk around while on the phone, and occasionally stretch.

These stretches are for hip and it band, usually, which are a bit more involved, so of course he ONLY fucking walks into the damn office while I'm stretching. (Image search for hip stretch).

To top it off, I have an unfortunate colored ointment for the pain in my elbow that i was applying today while stretching, and im scared to know what he was thinking before he realized what was actually going on. Imagine hip stretching (this one with leg on desk) while rubbing milky sort of clear ointment into skin...

Sir, if you're reading this, I promise I'm not actually that weird at work, you just have shitty timing.

Once the system "lost" a user_id var that says who started a batch, but it was a mandatory field that was filled at the beginning of the process.

I tried to find the reason, failed, called a senior for help, he also failed to find the reason.

After a couple of hours I looked to him, he looked back and I said,
"Let's call it a solar flare bit flip?"
"It's the only logical explanation"

So it became a bit flip issue to the PM, we had a good laugh, we send as "system instability" to the client.

The bug never happened again, no one ever found the true reason, maybe it was really a bit flip 🤔

Found this on godaddy's flare app

So we’ve taken over from a project team that disbanded... read: “cut their contracts because fuck this, I can earn more working for better people”.

Me and one other guy have been tasked with saving this heap of shit.

Obviously the project guys left saying “it’s nearly done, just this one feature”. Because cut contracts are easier to deal with if “everything is almost done”.

We jump on and find that’s not the case at all... this thing, is a beast, a big old stats analysis program... so we’re like “cool, let’s see what’s going o...OH MY GOD”.

The “recalculation” function was core to this POS. The contractors had done it in C# through entity framework... it took 24 hours to run, over a reasonably small data set that was due to double every 2-5 years.

So... here’s the deal, it ran over night.... then failed. And no cunt had noticed. Entity framework “can’t commit because I’m muddled up as fuck, did you really just put the whole db in EF in memory to work with it?” Exception.

Que 6 months of me and my lead doing the job properly.

Anyway, the failure: I ended up in Hospital again with a Crohn’s flare up... about 5 months in.

Fuckall to do with all this nonsense I just wanted to tell a story. it was an interesting/fun project to fix and my lead was a legend... so happy days.

Similar story, different set of contracted devs... they’d been defining requirements with the business users using the term “Risk” which the business users knew as a group of risks.

The domain model had been written RiskGroup<>—

To those of us who suffer from "Not invented here syndrome", I want you to ask yourself this question. If "reinventing the wheel is so valuable", would you re-implement the entire OSI stack?

No, as it would be a COMPLETE waste of time!!!

In all the layers below your application, several things related to how your code gets presented to your end-user are abstracted away from you. If you are able to accept that completely, why do you feel the need to re-implement every well-understood part of your particular project?

Cars, for example, are mostly made from standardized parts that solve well-understood problems. It then may have a few custom parts that may solve some novel problems to make it stand out from the rest.

Buildings are made completely from standardized parts, with regulations on how they are put together with some room for artistic flare.

If Software wants to be as equally respected as the rest, we need to get to that point.

DONT reinvent the wheel, just use battle-tested parts and just focus on what your project is trying to solve. It will be way more fruitful and fulfilling.

I hate this feeling.

Changing stuff with a greamripers scythe around my neck called doubt because the available data isn't too convincing.

Then having to go big or nothing as it is an ecosystem change (e.g. changing the cipher suites of TLS, changing protocol - e.g. HTTP 1.1 to 2) so it needs to be consistent as otherwise fun stuff could happen (fun as in the grim reaper cuts off my neck except a few centimeters and plays "now your head is off, now your head is on" ).

To top it off - just few seconds after the change has happened people coming up in the support channel.

My hands are - mysteriously - not sweaty then. Rather cold.

Lil prayer to the heavens and getting the whiskey bottle...

Opening an ongoing discussion in support channel....

And they're discussing whether the page needs to have an additional arrow for going back to the last page or if the default page navigation is enough.

Constantly using @all so everyone gets pissed off due to being pinged every few seconds in a channel that was meant for emergency support.

Now my hands go from a dark red to a bright red, my nostrils flare out, my adrenaline goes through the roof and I literally wanna murder people....

Those days.

I hate those days.

And I hate the timing of some people...

Like they're deliberately fucking with me without knowing it, like the universe told them explicitly to do so just to fuck with me.

*gooozfraba*

And of course, everything else is fine and running smooth like butter, except that said discussion now goes on in a total flamewar so I get even more pings.

Sucks to be in management.

You have way to many rooms where people can annoy you.

To top it off - after being grumpy and pissed and angry for people just annoying the fuck out of me, I have to mediate.

Yeah. Cause the usual person is on vacancy.

*slowly strangling the whiskey bottle like homer does with bart*

Turns out after 15 mins listening to enraged UX designer vs Frontend Team Lead that UX designer meant a completely different thing - uploaded wrong screenshot, whole discussion was unnecessary.

*Nah. Fuck it. Drinking whiskey*

Reminding everyone what the fucking frigging support channel is meant for and that penis fights aka who got the longest schlong don't belong there....

"Yeah it was a mistake, but it wasn't so bad"
...

You pinged fucking 32 people like it was the end of the world, you ignorant fucktwads.

For over 5 mins.

For fucking frigging nothing except your tiny dicks and shitty egos.

*Second round of whiskey*

Back to work after a wasted half hour.

What says monitoring?

Ah. Everything's working.

At least luck hasn't failed me.

Good server. Brave server.

Then I hear this lil voice in my head: no.

The servers know your personality.

They're afraid. Terrified.

Somehow that thought makes me giggle always...

Childish? Maybe. But it helps on those days.... Funnily enough, remaining 3 hours noone said anything in any chat channel.

"I wonder why, I wonder how...."... *hum*

one day, a solar flare will come in and erase everyone's banking records

and then what would the communists complain about?!

modern day Robinhood. erases all your debts, all tax information at the royalty office, the mortgage you owe on your house, and every rich person's balance

Wanna make a good outdoor shot but only have a bad camera on hand? No problem!
1. Place the sun into your frame
2. Click it to adjust exposure
3. Shoot
Yes, this limits what you can shoot, as it’s not always possible to keep the sun in the frame. But, in exchange, the sheer amount of light will make your pic _very_ sharp, as if it was engraved, colors will be restrained and balanced on pretty much every camera, noise level will be zero, and a REAL lens flare will serve as a nice finishing touch.

Hi flare, sent you some feedback. Really want you to read it

Get an exciting new project: build a help center.

Someone decides we will be building it wiith Madcap Flare.

Gonna kill myself.

!=rant

So, my company wants to use MadCap Flare to build our help center. This project is a nightmare so far. I've been trying to push for some better alternatives for down the road. Any recommendations? Preferably a
Some sort of free open source framework. I've seen a couple of developer friendly CMS frameworks pop up lately but just want to get a consensus from my good devrant ppls.

I had built my mining enterprise with precision and aspiration, powering my rigs with clean energy and keeping my painstakingly acquired Bitcoin reserves in state-of-the-art cold storage. My dream of economic freedom and technological triumph was found in a wallet worth $340,000 in Bitcoin. And then one day a one-in-a-trillion solar flare hit with the impact of a thousand suns. That magnificent burst of energy was my ruin as it toasted my mining gear and wiped out my cold storage, leaving my digital riches in ashes. I was devastated. I stared at the charred remnants of my rigs, shocked as if the blaze itself from the sun had stolen my future and all my dreams  were evaporated in a single blinding moment. In desperation I turned to my fellow workers in the mine, hoping that there was a ray of hope in the eyes of those who had weathered similar storms. A seasoned miner, whose survival tales of overcoming the chaotic cryptocurrency landscape were the stuff of legend, attested to the capability of SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL. He assured me that their team of engineers had a magical ability for money recovery from even the worst of hardware malfunctions. I clung to it as a miner would cling to a rich ore vein. I reached out to SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL and explained my case. They were quick and reassuring in their reply. Their engineers sprang into action with a zeal and focus that was like a rescue operation of utmost importance. They used advanced data reconstruction techniques to dig through the wreckage of my hacked cold storage, meticulously extracting every scrap of my personal keys as if they were unwinding an ancient digital manuscript. Their process was thorough, systematic, and breathtaking. Twelve anxious and drawn-out days later, the breakthrough came. My wallet had been found and all the last satoshis of my $340,000 stash were mine again. It was sheer relief, a blend of euphoria and shock which felt close to miraculous. If SPARTAN TECH GROUP RETRIEVAL can outsmart the relentless sun and restore what was irretrievably lost, then nothing is too impossible for them. Their expertise not only recovered my cash but also restored my faith in the endurance of technology and human ingenuity.

Lower Back Muscles: Strengthening and Stabilizing for Better Health

By improving the strength and endurance of these muscles, we help you reduce pain, improve posture, and prevent future back problems.

Piriformis Stretch: Relieving Tightness and Discomfort
The piriformis muscle is located deep in the buttock region and plays an important role in stabilizing the hip joint. However, when the piriformis muscle becomes tight or inflamed, it can lead to discomfort, pain, and even sciatica-like symptoms. This is commonly known as piriformis syndrome, which can cause pain in the buttocks, hips, or down the leg.

At Aspire Physiotherapy Bunbury, we provide specialized piriformis stretches to help alleviate tightness, relieve pain, and improve flexibility in the hip area. Our physiotherapists will guide you through safe and effective stretching techniques that target the piriformis muscle and surrounding areas. By incorporating piriformis stretches into your routine, you can reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and prevent future flare-ups.

Back Support: Choosing the Right Tools for Recovery
Back support plays a crucial role in relieving pain and preventing further injury, especially when recovering from a back strain or managing a chronic condition. Whether you're dealing with lower back pain, sciatica, or simply need extra support during physical activities, Aspire Physiotherapy Bunbury can help you find the best back support options for your needs.

Our physiotherapists assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate back support devices, such as braces or ergonomic supports, that can help you maintain proper posture, reduce strain on the spine, and improve overall comfort. Additionally, we provide guidance on the proper use of these supports and how to incorporate them into your daily routine for maximum benefit.
