@jestdotty I understand your bot frustration and I would say: try to turn off AI where possible.

Also, have you tried turning it off and on? jk lol

I miss forums. Now it's all Reddit shit and what not.

@jestdotty Great to hear you became a mythic one. :) Less great on the salary and time, but then you would need to find a place that does respect those.

The thing of course with developers is that they are like engineers in that they communicate better if they have a common technical framework rather than having to put effort into explaining each person's view subjectively, though I see a merit in the pragmatic approach.

@D-4got10-01 @D-4got10-01 I remember a manager telling me that software is only a tool and the difference between a good Software Engineer and a bad one is understanding the business need: a bad one would just try to think of tech and throw things at the problem, while a good one first does business analysis, discusses with the stakeholders what they need, discusses with their team the practicality roadmap.. and then discusses it with the client, to finally implement. : )

@Lensflare Thanks for the tip. I know AI ventures are an idea these days.

@jestdotty You always bring wonderful additions to the comments, jestdotty. :)

Indeed, the usual times when a person contacts someone is if they need something.

Hadn't thought about the door to door jobs thing. Perhaps it's not safe nor efficient.

They think you are just a number of a spreadsheet.

You're right about that. It's all about ego. Important to disconnect person from job.

Solved. Looked it up on the internet and understood somewhat:

folder structure:

src:

\coding\MyProject\src\com\dev\practice\

bin (where .class file resides):

\coding\MyProject\bin\com\dev\practice\

The correct command to run the compiled class is (first go to the project root directory MyProject\):

java -cp ./bin /com/dev/practice/MyClass

Additionally... I had made a typo in my command as well, leaving out one letter of the directory. Lmao.

@Lensflare Ah, well, I've seen a lot of production code where there were a bunch of for(;;) loops with indexes. One of the arguments was that otherwise you wouldn't be able to modify or remove items in a forEach loop, but I see an Iterator allows updating and removal whilst traversing the collection. Interesting.

Research here is telling me you can't delete elements in an array because in Java arrays have a fixed size. The Iterator would only work on Collections such as (Array)List. Then it also says: "There is no built-in way to replace array elements during iteration without knowing which slot you're modifying.". The chart is showing that Iterator only works on List (in Java) and if you have a classic Array in Java you're screwed on modification of elements.

Imagine you have legacy code from 1996 where Iterators didn't exist.

@jestdotty (virtually) bug-free code without tests? You're a magician, jestdotty!

Yeah.. you have to make sure you are happy and that your life is quality.

Angulah. Just another web framework. Yes, your overall knowledge is important on it. It uses TypeScript Decorators for its component definition. And so on.

Pardon my stop-motion writing. I get lazy from doing so much effort for my own things. lol. However, I do like to put effort in replying here.

Just learn what you can. :)

Interesting post, jestdotty... I like it.

Yes, far too much to learn. You have to pretty much pick your specialization.

push()

pop()

skibadeedoodop()!

Yes, you go to the library, or you learn your material from wherever and then you stack it all. It is all one big story with interlinked components.

Culture, pleh. Like Einstein said; it is irrelevant, these matters. What is relevant, however, is the company's internal knowledge that ideally shouldn't be monolithed into one Senior's mind (although as we know, in practice this is pretty much the case).

Pornhub.. nice. Haha. Yeah, you just pick your stuff and move on with it, and of course, unfortunately, a lot of it is slop.

Art is... art for a reason. It is to be unique, distinguishable, not slop.

The irony, you know... of these people expecting you to have hundreds of years of knowledge, yet they themselves have never really gone that in-depth themselves.

@jestdotty I went to school to learn, but I know. lol

Interns.. that reminds me. I had a similar situation. He was from a crappy low quality college (while I was from the top tier one), but just because he was a smooching, double-faced corrupt asshole, they instantly hired him. Okay, so someone has less education and you give them the upper hand? Nice.

On the other hand, I remember we had an intern at the previous company and he was pretty much the opposite of a sheep, so no one liked him. In the end he wasn't hired.

I also remember a tall, calm dude that was the same at parties. The rest were obnoxious. He could have sued them on that (the long hair guy).

It's like they want everyone to look the same in corporate, despite validating their 'you can be yourself' motto. lol. They only do that for legal anyway. Poor long-haired guy, you know. Corporate can be so disgusting.

@jestdotty grep `${hope}`

Always suffer... sounds like Nietzsche. There are a number of wrong things that should be reviewed, such as the love thing, as you said. People love to make up excuses for themselves. I understand your frustration. Equally like you, when I turned a love thing into a profession, it quickly became sour. The thing you love is meant to breathe. That reminds me of bosses asking me to go the extra mile just 'because you love the company'. Wtf. lol. No I don't. Yes, that sheep mentality is no fun.

Lmao if you worked hard. That sounds like that movie Coming to America. 20, to, 30 years of hard work and you can afford yourself a place just like this. Lmao. What I noticed in the workplace is that people get ahead especially by connections. I've seen a number of really hard workers and they always got shat on, so I'm not sold on that. It's typical of selfish bosses to offer some crap like food in exchange for something of real value. And then of course, a boss should never yell.

jestdotty's diary. ♥

Get my naame, outta yo damn mouth! :whack:

:gasp: jestdotty, I just noticed your desk is so clean!

Didn't know you loved me.

@jestdotty It's good to let out your thoughts.

Writing publicly may indeed need to take on another format.

I would expect people to read well-written blogs. I don't know of this substack thing but lol.

@jestdotty Cheez. It wasn't mush, just excited writing. lol

A.I. slop sucksy.

Internet has gotten very noisy for sure.

@jestdotty $15 * 120 = $1800. Hm, not bad.

A.I. says average: $80-$165/day for rent + $20-$150 for electricity or gas

Hm, late depends on the agreements.

You, you are procastinating! Bad jestdotty! lol. I absolutely love this what you're doing, though. lol

@jestdotty Is that you, legally blonde? jk. Yes, I see the physical point. In that case it is hard to balance. Perhaps some parallelism and clustering could be done, depending on the restaurant, though not entirely realistic.

Yes, indeed, the ordering.

Lmao oven factory. Yes, the internet tubes. They're tubing. I know the analogy. lol

How many ovens do they have? Hm.. yes.. I don't know. 2-12 seems reasonable. 6 ft distance.. mhm. Haha, I like that you are doing the calculation.

30 rounds! Damn. Yeah.. I'm almost certain their pizza-making process is not that streamlined. Most places can get (semi) messy.

So they waste a whole day on one client, and does that warrant the fixed and variable costs?

Fixed costs:

(now I need google lol)

Okay so electricity for instance. A fixed rental price. Not bad. Then of course it can depend based on if the ovens go above a treshold and if there are tresholds.

Let's say a pizza costs $15

@jestdotty Sadly law (and especially insurance) is weighed out through various months and years and is not black and white, but you can add those arguments, depending on the clauses and whichever laws apply. Fault is a difficult one as intent has to be taken into account too.

Is it the modus operandi? I find it hard to believe. Deception is a touchy subject legally.

Yes, advertising is very messed up - the subconscious part in particular. Thankfully some of us don't fall for that.

You're welcome, jestdotty. lol. Yes. Perhaps something else that would not mess.

@jestdotty Psh, jestdotty. I'm not like that. I always state things from myself and if I quote, then I mention the source. In this case the example was from my Law classes back in college, which in turn was from something else. I'm not a copy-paster. lol

That question depends on the business terms. It does not seem unreasonable to allow one client to order that, but I think in that case warnings and systems should be in place (I think it's part of the usability heuristics) to direct the client to the proper form (visibility of system status). Negligence can be different in different cases.

@jestdotty The business would be an unethical one and in that case I don't think they would be granted a license to do business.. hm.

Profit.. well.. hm. Not good, you know? In the theory of Sales: if you mess up for one customer, 9 others will spread the bad word and your business is doomed.

As for the peak, well, we have load-balancing and all the modern cloud cluster stuff these days, no? If they can afford it.

Would you like a pizza while you write this? lol

@jestdotty a bath of oil that laid in some buckets to neutralize the smell of new paint, causing confusion to the other painter right behind them that tripped with them, broke their leg, and so on". A refund? I don't think so. They would probably be in breach of contract, just like in insurance, you are not covered for explicit and purposeful acts of wrongdoing, or sloppy ones.

3. In that case they would need to pull the video feed and see if any customer in the store would be prying the cheese package open, or they would need to trace the whole process back.. and then get authorization from the proper parties to see who did it... and yeah. lol

@jestdotty Yes, it is not the happy flow.

A couple of arguments could follow:

1. When ordering, the customer agreed to the terms and agreed they were aware of the purchase they were making and making every reasonable attempt to guarantee that the order they place is correct. The customer may be at fault. Depending on clauses, the company may also have to guarantee in their QoS programming to conform to reasonable UX so as to prevent accidents. Disclaimer: I'm not a legal expert. lol

2. Law when analyzing fault has to look at acts of egregious (direct) nature. A classic example is: "Who is at fault in the following scenario: The painter enters the customer's house, trips over the patio, falls down the stairs, accidentally rips is lighter into

@Lensflare Can't. They use + and - buttons. I could circumvent that but I don't want to go that far. lmao

@jestdotty Thought like a truly logical person. Well done, jestdotty.

No, at the payment the person will look and then lightbulb, or they might either be too distracted and confirm anyway.

I think they would manage but then they would get extremely busy and I hope they might call the customer. lol. Or is it the customer's responsibility? Hm hm... might be in the Terms.

Interesting business logic, jestdotty.

@jestdotty You have a point there. : )
