So my actual job is being a nurse at the local hospital, with coding being just a hobby. However, the way some IT–Related things are treated here are just mind-blowing. Here are some examples:
Issue: Printer is not recognized by network anymore due to not being properly plugged in
Solution: Someone has to tell the house technician, if the house technician is currently not available, ask his assistant who only works part time and like twice a week. House technician took the printer (God knows why), came back 2 days later and plugged it back in.
Issue: Printer 1 of 2 on ICU has run out of ink and since all computers default to printer 1, nobody can print.
Solution: Call the house technician, blah blah, house technician comes, takes ink cartridge of printer 2 and puts it into printer 1.
Issue: Public WiFi is broken, can be connected to but internet access is missing. Probably config issue as a result of a recent blackout.
Solution: Buy a new router, spend 5 days configuring it and complain about how hard networking is.
Issue: Computer is broken, needs to be exchanged with a new one, but how do we transfer the data?
Solution: Instead of just keeping the old hard drive, make a 182GB backup, upload it to the main file server and then download it again on the new computer.
Issue: Nurse returns from vacation, forgot the password to her network account.
Solution: Call the technician who then proceeds to open a new account, copies all the files from the old one and tells her to pick an easier password this time. She chooses "121213".12 -
**Overheard new intern struggling with git talking to lead developer

Why do most docs have grey text color over a white background! It's just incredibly difficult to focus on. And my brain is like a potato to begin with.6

I struggled with weather to post this but I feel like I have to. I didnt want to feed into the fear or give 'them' any more reason to argue against common sense but I guess it cant be helped.
The reason I was gone for a while was because I went and got my vaccination.
In less than half hour after getting the vaccine, I was in the ICU. The staff told me I had a stroke possibly from clotting and inflamation. I couldnt feel my arm or anything below my shoulders. Yes really.
Apparently I "died" for a little while and when they brought me back I was in a coma for almost a week.
I'm back home now and I still dont fully understand what happened. Still have numbness, and horrible headaches, and can barely think straight sometimes, but the doctors told me that I didnt suffer any permanent brain damage according to my scans.
Also they told me I had old damage to my left and right temporal lobe, which makes sense because I have always suffered problems with short term memory and other issues.
And I'm just at a loss how this could happen. I have no serious injuries. We were told this is safe.
And this is the exact reason I didnt want to post it, because now tards will come in and be "lololol serves you right vaxxer!"
If I knew the side effects were this bad maybe I would have changed my mind but no one told me! I mean I think I still would have got it because we have to protect vulnerable people, but still.
The hospital assured me it wasnt the vaccine and must have been an underlaying condition, but I'm not so sure. I just happen to have a pre-existing problem that I dont know about that causes a stroke and paralysis only half an hour after the shot?
And now I dont know if I'll ever be ok. And doctors warned me I may suffer more strokes and to avoid physically demanding tasks for a while. My primary job is construction (not by chooce). Now I face the prospect of not even being able to work my existing job or do the things I love, like hiking, anymore. So much of the world doesnt make any sense right now and I just dont know what to believe anymore.
Tards will probably be in shortly to suggest I check for microchips or test fucking magnets on myself.
No, just stop.8 -
I use the ICU format often for translation because it's simple enough and supported on many platforms. It's something of a standard so I can use the same translation string format and similar library functions everywhere.
ICU is like a really simple templating language, somewhere between printf and something like smarty or twig simplified and specifically intended for internationalisation.
I updated a library providing ICU compatible parsing and formatting for one of the platforms I'm using and find tests break. I assume that only thing to change is the API. ICU very rarely changes and if it did it would be unexpected for it to break the syntax in a major way without big news of a new syntax.
The main contributor of the library has changed since some time last year. Someone else picked up the project from previous contributors.
Though the library is heavily advertised as using ICU it has now switched to using a custom extended format that's not fully compatible and that is being driven by use case demand rather than standardisation.
Seems like a nice chap but has also decided for a major paradigm shift for the library.
The ICU format only parses ICU templates for string substitution and formatting. The new format tries to parse anything that looks XML like as well but with much more strict rules only supporting a tiny subset of XML and failing to preserve what would otherwise be string literals.
Has anyone else seen this happen after the handover of an opensource library where the paradigm shifts?3 -
Not a rant, but was wondering:
If I undervolt Ryzen 5 3600 using Ryzen Master from windows, do I get the changes when I boot into my Linux distro? 🤔7 -
My PC fried a couple of weeks ago, and while handling that for awhile, I had to stay in an ICU. It's been too long and I think God or whatever may he be doesn't want me ricing my distro anymore...

Did you lost cryptocurrency to swindlers? Call Supreme Peregrine Recovery to the rescue.
I'm Brad Harding from Florida, and I would like to share my story of how Supreme Peregrine Recovery saved my life. I put my savings into cryptocurrencies, kept my wallets secure, and never gave them to anyone. I received a message instructing me to use the mail to access my blockchain wallet. Unaware that I had granted the scammers access to my wallet, I signed in without giving it any thought. I was left in a really poor position and spent a few months in the ICU after my wallet was completely erased in a matter of hours. As I was recovering in the hospital, I heard other people testify about how Supreme Peregrine Recovery had assisted them in moving past their loss. After I get in touch with them and tell them the whole scenario, they quickly gathered all the information they required and started working to get my lost currency back. I had no hope that they would return my money, so when I opened a startling message on my phone, I discovered that it contained the entire sum of my lost cryptocurrency savings plus interest that had accrued over time. I was transformed from a melancholy man into a contented father and brother. Get all of your cryptocurrency-related problems fixed at once by getting in touch with them right now.

HOW TO TRACK AND RECLAIM YOUR LOST BITCOIN - VISIT FUNDS RETRIEVER ENGINEER
Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you. This mantra has been my guiding light throughout my journey as a military doctor. After years of dedicated service to my country, I found my true calling in healing others, striving to make a positive impact on the lives of my fellow soldiers and their families. My commitment to service extended far beyond the battlefield; I was determined to secure a stable future for my family. With my hard-earned savings, I invested $470,000 in cryptocurrency, believing it would provide the financial foundation we needed to thrive. However, everything changed one fateful day during a particularly intense deployment. While treating a patient amid an attack, my phone slipped from my hands and crashed to the ground. In the chaos of the moment, I realized with a sinking feeling that I hadn’t backed up my cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrase. I had always thought I had plenty of time to do so later, but that day proved otherwise. When I attempted to access my funds that night, panic surged through me as I discovered I could no longer access my wallet. My dreams of financial security and stability were vanishing right before my eyes. The betrayal I felt was profound. It was as if I had not only failed myself but also my family, who relied on me to provide for them. Each day in the ICU reminded me of my commitment to healing, and now I was left feeling helpless in the face of adversity.
