!rant

The last two days we were only young people @ our Office.

Because we are funny as fuck we put the jacket of our smallest college on the sealing xD

Oh gosh I love work sometimes so much :D

!dev

So the ceiling in our (upstairs) laundry room started leaking. After some troubleshooting, we determined it was the A/C, and not the water pipes. (The house is cheap as hell and fucking stupid.) We did some troubleshooting and research, and tried fixing it ourselves; no luck. Cleaning the pipes from outside: no joy. Cleaning the pipes from inside: no access. The attic is ... small. Maybe half a small closet? and doesn’t give access to fucking anything. The builders must have installed everything before putting up the walls and ceilings, sealing everything off, because there is no access. It’s fucking stupid. Also, the usual maintenance openings aren’t even there either because why the fuck would they be?

But fucking whatever.

We called an a/c repair guy, who never showed. We assumed he was busy (it’s fucking hot), so we called him again the next day; two days later he showed.

Busy. Whatever.

Guy didn’t bring a ladder. Whatever, we have one right there in the hallway because we’ve been trying in vain to fix it.

Guy didn’t bring a wrench of any kind. Guy didn’t bring a screwdriver. Guy didn’t bring a bucket. Guy didn’t bring any pipe. Or any pipe sealant. Or fucking anything but his sagging fucking pants, fat belly, and fat stench. We had to supply everything, which fortunately we had on hand as we were already trying to fix it. Hoorah for being proactive.

Guy said he drained both primary and secondary pans. Somehow. Without access. I’m not even convinced it HAS a secondary pan. Guy said he cleaned out the pipes, too. From inside the house. Without access. Somehow. Maybe he did that from outside, without tools, while I was chasing the brats and someone else was watching the fat bastard. Who knows; I wasn’t with him most of the time.

When he was done, the guy said “pay whatever you think it’s worth” (or whatever). Fine, if he actually cleaned the pipes out and it isn’t leaking anymore, that’s great.

Guy leaves.

We go up to check. AND THE FUCKING A/C IS STILL LEAKING. BUT NOW IT’S FROM BEFORE THE PIPES, TOO. AND HALF AN HOUR LATER, THE LAUDRY ROOM CEILING IS ALSO LEAKING, WHICH MEANS THE PIPES ARE STILL LEAKING.

It turns out the asshole broke the pan.

We call him back, he goes blah blah blah, we send him a video. Drip, drip, drip.

His response?
“The pan must be rusted.” IT’S FUCKING PLASTIC.

“Oh, in that case, it’s probably a rusted coil that’s leaking.”

a) HOW DID YOU NOT KNOW IT WAS FUCKING PLASTIC IF YOU DRAINED IT?

b) THE COILS CARRY FREON, NOT WATER, AND THE A/C IS STILL WORKING. IF THERE WAS A LEAK, SHIT WOULD BE HOT. AND RANK. FREON SMELLS NASTY AND DOESN’T CAUSE IT TO RAIN IN THE FUCKING HOUSE.

REPLACING A COIL IS ALSO A $2000 FUCKING REPAIR.

THE FAT BASTARD PROBABLY BROKE THE PAN INTENTIONALLY JUST TO UPSELL. I WANT TO FUCKING MURDER HIS LYING FUCKING FACE OFF.

It’s possible he didn’t break the pan intentionally, so I’ll tentatively remove that from his charges. BUT TO FUCKING LIE?

LIE AND DIE, FUCKER.

!dev :(

I am cleaning, disinfecting, bagging and sealing produce and deliver it in survival packs so people don't need to get out of their houses.

The country is in total lockdown, people are strongly encouraged to stay at home.
Bars, social activities and whatnot are closed.

Only excuse to be outside is to be buying groceries or going to the hospital.
Supermarkets only allow 1 person per household, so.

I was just clicking trough oracle's docs, on a page which had to do with manifest&sealing (kotlin/java)

So I figure since I straight up don't care about the Ada community anymore, and my programming focus is languages and language tooling, I'd rant a bit about some stupid things the language did. Necessary disclaimer though, I still really like the language, I just take issue with defense of things that are straight up bad. Just admit at the time it was good, but in hindsight it wasn't. That's okay.

For the many of you unfamiliar, Ada is a high security / mission critical focused language designed in the 80's. So you'd expect it to be pretty damn resilient.

Inheritance is implemented through "tagged records" rather than contained in classes, but dispatching basically works as you'd expect. Only problem is, there's no sealing of these types. So you, always, have to design everything with the assumption that someone can inherit from your type and manipulate it. There's also limited accessibility modifiers and it's not granular, so if you inherit from the type you have access to _everything_ as if they were all protected/friend.

Switch/case statements are only checked that all valid values are handled. Read that carefully. All _valid_ values are handled. You don't need a "default" (what Ada calls "when others" ). Unchecked conversions, view overlays, deserialization, and more can introduce invalid values. The default case is meant to handle this, but Ada just goes "nah you're good bro, you handled everything you said would be passed to me".

Like I alluded to earlier, there's limited accessibility modifiers. It uses sections, which is fine, but not my preference. But it also only has three options and it's bizarre. One is publicly in the specification, just like "public" normally. One is in the "private" part of the specification, but this is actually just "protected/friend". And one is in the implementation, which is the actual" private". Now Ada doesn't use classes, so the accessibility blocks are in the package (namespace). So guess what? Everything in your type has exactly the same visibility! Better hope people don't modify things you wanted to keep hidden.

That brings me to another bad decision. There is no "read-only" protection. Granted this is only a compiler check and can be bypassed, but it still helps prevent a lot of errors. There is const and it works well, better than in most languages I feel. But if you want a field within a record to not be changeable? Yeah too bad.

And if you think properties could fix this? Yeah no. Transparent functions that do validation on superficial fields? Nah.

The community loves to praise the language for being highly resilient and "for serious engineers", but oh my god. These are awful decisions.

Now again there's a lot of reasons why I still like the language, but holy shit does it scare me when I see things like an auto maker switching over to it.

The leading Ada compiler is literally the buggiest compiler I've ever used in my life. The leading Ada IDE is literally the buggiest IDE I've ever used in my life. And they are written in Ada.

Side note: good resilient systems are a byproduct of knowledge, diligence, and discipline, not the tool you used.

There is a table right under the fan on which I put a hot cup of coffee add suger to it. Now comes the good part.

I tie myself upside down with sealing fan right above table. Holding a spoon in one hand. Start the fan with a stick. Throw the stick. Just after speed is steady put the spoon in cup and let it stear.

Drink this coffe upside down.
It will increase productivity by 10000million%.

Cheers:)

Why do you lil' shits keep making LAYERS and LAYERS of unnecessary abstraction and then call it goddamn progress???
Dude what the fuck is this UEFI shit?!
Why the hell do I NEED to import a frigging library and read tons of boring and overly complicated documentation just so I can paint a pixel on the screen now uh??
Alright alright yeah so the BIOS is a little basic but daaaamit son if you want something a bit more complicated you make it yourself or install an OS that provides it! Like we've been doing it for years!!!
Dude, you don't get to know what a file system is until I tell you!
The PC be like:
"You wanna dereference the 0x0 pointer? There you go: it's 0xE9DF41, anything else?
You wanna write to the screen? Ok I have a perfectly convinient interrupt setup for that.
Wanna paint a pixel yellow? Ok, just call this other interruption. Theere we go.
And it only took four bytes and a nanosecond to do it."

That shit works, and if you want something more complex, but not too much, that still runs efficiently install DOS.
Don't mess around with the hardware pleeease.
We can still understand what's going on down there. Once UEFI steps in, it'll be like sealing a door forever. Long live BIOS damn it all!

Why Choose Us for Paver Cleaning and Sealing?
Restoring Aesthetic Appeal
Our paver cleaning and sealing services remove grime, stains, and discoloration, bringing back the vibrant colors of your pavers. Clean pavers also enhance the overall curb appeal of your property, creating a more welcoming atmosphere for customers.

Preventing Damage

Long-Lasting Results
Our sealing solutions are designed to withstand the Florida climate, offering long-lasting protection against the elements. A well-sealed surface will resist fading and degradation, helping you avoid costly repairs or replacements.

Increased Property Value
Clean, well-maintained pavers can increase the value of your commercial property. Whether you're leasing or selling, a well-maintained exterior can leave a lasting impression on potential tenants or buyers.

Storefront Soft Washing Experts: Enhance Your Business’s Curb Appeal
The exterior of your store is the first thing customers see when they visit your business. Over time, the buildup of dirt, mildew, and algae can make your storefront appear dingy and uninviting. Storefront soft washing experts at Wild West Pressure Washing use a gentle yet effective approach to clean your storefront without causing any damage to delicate surfaces.

Benefits of Storefront Soft Washing:
Gentle on Surfaces
Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions, making it safe for delicate surfaces such as windows, signs, and siding. This ensures that your storefront remains in pristine condition while being thoroughly cleaned.

Effective Dirt and Stain Removal
Soft washing effectively removes dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and other stubborn stains that can accumulate on your building’s exterior. Regular cleaning helps maintain a bright, welcoming appearance and prevents the buildup of unsightly grime.

Long-Term Protection
In addition to cleaning, our soft washing solutions also kill bacteria, mold, and algae, reducing the chances of future buildup. This means your storefront will stay cleaner for longer, providing more value for your investment.

Protects Against the Elements: Lakeland, FL’s sunny, humid climate can take a toll on your pavers. Sealing them creates a protective barrier that prevents damage from UV rays, water, mold, mildew, and stains from oil or dirt.

Restores Color and Beauty: Over time, pavers can fade and lose their luster. Sealing your pavers brings back their natural color and provides a glossy or matte finish that makes your driveway or patio look like new again.

Prevents Weeds and Growth: Sealing your pavers helps prevent weeds, moss, and algae from growing between the joints. This not only keeps your pavers looking neat but also reduces maintenance over time.

Improves Durability: Paver sealing provides a layer of protection that helps your pavers withstand wear and tear, making them more durable and long-lasting.

If you want to boost the visual appeal and longevity of your outdoor surfaces, paver sealing in Lakeland, FL is the perfect solution. Southern Pro Wash & Seal offers expert sealing services tailored to the unique needs of each client, ensuring high-quality results every time.

Paver Maintenance Tips for Lakeland, FL Homeowners
Proper paver maintenance is key to extending the lifespan of your driveway, patio, or walkway. Whether you’ve recently had your pavers sealed or are preparing to, here are some essential paver maintenance tips for Lakeland, FL homeowners to keep your surfaces in great condition:

1. Regular Cleaning
Routine Cleaning: To maintain your pavers’ appearance, regularly remove dirt, leaves, and debris with a broom or blower. For deeper cleaning, use a pressure washer at a low setting to avoid damaging the pavers.
Stain Removal: If you notice oil or grease stains, use a specialized cleaner designed for pavers. Make sure to clean stains as soon as they appear to prevent them from setting.
2. Address Weeds and Moss
Weed Removal: Weeds can easily grow between paver joints, which not only looks unattractive but can also cause long-term damage. You can prevent weed growth by applying a weed killer or removing them manually.
Moss or Algae: If your pavers have developed moss or algae, gently scrub the area with a soft brush and use an algae remover if necessary. Consider using a sealant that provides added protection against growth.
3. Monitor for Settling or Shifting
Check for Shifting: Over time, pavers may shift or settle due to ground movement or heavy traffic. If you notice this happening, you may need to adjust the pavers and reapply sand to fill the joints. A professional contractor can assist with this if necessary.
4. Reapply Sealer Every Few Years
Sealer Maintenance: Depending on the climate and wear, pavers should be resealed every 1 to 3 years. This will help maintain their protection and appearance. If you notice your pavers looking dull or water no longer beads on the surface, it’s time to reseal them.
5. Ensure Proper Drainage
Drainage Considerations: Ensure that your pavers have proper drainage to avoid water pooling, which can cause long-term damage. If you notice pooling water, it may be necessary to adjust the grading of your pavers.
Following these paver maintenance tips will help keep your outdoor surfaces looking great and ensure that your investment in pavers lasts for years to come. If you’re unsure about performing maintenance tasks yourself or need assistance, Southern Pro Wash & Seal is here to help with professional cleaning, sealing, and repairs.

The Importance of Paver Cleaning in Orlando
Pavers are a popular choice for driveways, patios, walkways, and other outdoor spaces due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. However, over time, pavers can accumulate dirt, algae, moss, and stains that detract from their appearance. Regular paver cleaning is essential to maintain their beauty and longevity.

At Boss Power Wash LLC, we use specialized equipment and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to effectively clean and restore your pavers. Here’s why paver cleaning in Orlando is so important:

Restores Aesthetic Appeal: Pavers can become dull and discolored due to dirt and debris buildup. Our expert paver cleaning service removes grime and stains, restoring the vibrant colors and texture of your pavers and enhancing the overall look of your outdoor space.

Prevents Damage: Over time, dirt, moss, and algae can break down the surface of your pavers, leading to cracks and unevenness. Regular cleaning helps prevent this damage, ensuring your pavers remain in excellent condition for years to come.

Improves Safety: Algae and moss can make your pavers slippery, creating a safety hazard. By removing these slippery substances, our paver cleaning services improve traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls.

Increases Property Value: Clean, well-maintained pavers can significantly boost the curb appeal of your property. Whether you’re preparing to sell your home or just want to improve the look of your outdoor spaces, paver cleaning is a great investment.

Our Paver Cleaning Process at Boss Power Wash LLC
We use a combination of high-pressure washing and eco-friendly cleaning agents to remove dirt, stains, and contaminants from your pavers. Our process includes:

Inspection and Assessment: We begin by evaluating the condition of your pavers to determine the best cleaning method. We identify any stains or buildup that may require special attention.
Pre-Treatment: For stubborn stains or algae buildup, we apply a pre-treatment solution to loosen dirt and grime, making the cleaning process more effective.
High-Pressure Cleaning: Using powerful pressure washing equipment, we clean your pavers without damaging them. Our team adjusts the pressure to ensure a thorough cleaning while protecting the surface.
Sealing (Optional): After cleaning, we can apply a protective sealant to your pavers to help prevent future staining and keep them looking new longer.
Drive-Thru Cleaning in Orlando: Maintaining a Clean, Professional Look for Your Business
As a business owner, you understand the importance of maintaining a clean and inviting exterior. A clean drive-thru area not only improves the appearance of your establishment but also creates a safer and more pleasant experience for your customers.

Boss Power Wash LLC offers comprehensive drive-thru cleaning services for businesses in Orlando, including restaurants, banks, and other establishments with drive-thru lanes. We use specialized pressure washing techniques to remove grease, oil stains, dirt, and debris that can accumulate in high-traffic areas like drive-thru lanes. Here’s why drive-thru cleaning is essential for your business:

Enhances Curb Appeal: The exterior of your business, including your drive-thru, is the first impression customers have of your establishment. A clean, well-maintained drive-thru area signals to customers that you care about their experience, creating a welcoming environment.

Improves Safety: Drive-thru lanes can become slippery due to oil spills, grease buildup, and wet debris. Regular cleaning eliminates these hazards, improving safety for both your customers and employees.

Prevents Long-Term Damage: Without regular cleaning, oil and grease can damage the surface of your drive-thru lane, causing discoloration and deterioration. Pressure washing removes these substances before they cause lasting damage, helping to extend the lifespan of your pavement.

That’s where we come in to help you protect your investment and improve your home’s overall quality.

Vapor Barrier Installation: Protecting Your Home from Moisture Damage
A vapor barrier installation is one of the most effective methods to prevent excess moisture from infiltrating your crawlspace, which can lead to structural damage, mold, and other serious issues. The vapor barrier acts as a protective layer, sealing off your crawlspace from the outside elements and moisture in the soil beneath your home.

At Your Crawlspace Solution, we offer expert vapor barrier installation to ensure your crawlspace stays dry and moisture-free. We use durable, high-quality materials to create a complete seal, preventing water vapor from seeping into your crawlspace and protecting your foundation and insulation. Our vapor barriers also improve the overall air quality inside your home by reducing humidity levels and preventing the growth of mold and mildew.

Crawl Space Moisture Control: Keeping Your Home Safe and Dry
Excess moisture in your crawlspace can cause a variety of problems, including mold growth, wood rot, and even compromised structural integrity. Without proper crawl space moisture control, your home is at risk of experiencing these issues, which can be costly and dangerous.

At Your Crawlspace Solution, we offer effective crawl space moisture control strategies to keep your crawlspace dry and safe. Our team evaluates the moisture levels in your crawlspace and implements solutions such as vapor barriers, drainage systems, and sump pumps to manage and eliminate excess moisture. By controlling moisture at its source, we help protect your home from mold, rot, and other related issues, while improving air quality and energy efficiency.

Crawl Space Cleaning: A Clean Crawlspace for a Healthier Home
A dirty crawlspace can harbor a variety of problems, from pests and debris to mold and poor air circulation. Regular crawl space cleaning is essential to maintaining a healthy home and preventing these issues from escalating.

At Your Crawlspace Solution, our crawl space cleaning service includes removing any debris, dirt, and contaminants from your crawlspace. We also inspect the space for potential issues like mold, pests, and leaks, ensuring that your crawlspace is free from harmful substances. After the cleaning, we take additional steps to address moisture and improve ventilation, ensuring that your crawlspace remains dry, clean, and well-maintained.
