Dang I felt like shit today. Gotta cold. Talked to doctor to make sure not strepp. He said I have to go to work tomorrow. I told him I got the wrong doctor then. He laughed. I went to doc because this morning I was wheezing when I exhaled. He said its just gunk in my throat. Lungs are fine.

Went to store for about an hour and felt like horrible shit when I got home. Lame.

Made tortilla pizzas today!

tortilla
pizza sauce
cheddar/Colby shredded cheese
pepperoni
sausage
Parmesan

Baked 7 minutes at 420 F.

Gave me a reason to speak with a Mexican accent and hold my finger likes this 🤌.

My kid who didn't want to try them said it was good. Thumbs up!

ostream, are you visiting the USA?
Some dude in NYC got caught on camera sexually violating a dude that died on the subway.

Scrotumborn
(stolen from reddit, but this is some funny shit!)

Tasty quick treat:
1. mushroom (wash remove stem)
2. cheese (stuff into mushroom cavity)
3. microwave (15 to 30 seconds to melt cheese)
4. eat (nom nom nom)

My first go was 2 mushrooms with gouda and blue cheese. Cooked 30 seconds. Was a nice little treat.

What is the difference between an Italian chef and a StackOverflow Programmer? One letter: cut n' pasta vs cut n' paste.

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.

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.

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

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>

How much should I be concerned with protecting the OS filesystem from being fragmented by writing large amounts of data to multiple files?

I am using a filesystem that I think is either ext2 or ext3. I need to convert files that might be as large as 1GB to csv. Not sure how big the files will be. Right now the existing conversion code uses fprintf to do every single line of these files (ugh...). I would like to do bulk conversions and then write to disk. I am assuming 8GB of system ram, with probably half that free at any time.

I plan on adding a feature to do bulk conversions (multiple files in sequence). Wondering if I can do these in parallel and write after conversion. So would need to store in ram. Only write one at a time. I feel like this would be better on the filesystem. I was stage writing. If files are large enough I wonder how many I can stage at once. Have not been given an example file yet.

Am I overthinking or should I be treating the filesystem with kit gloves?

My chocolate covered bacon is cooling right now:

For a snack I have a can of Chicken Vienna Sausage and almonds sitting on my desk.

coworker: What are you eating?
me: weenies and nuts
coworker: <pause>
coworker: I always knew you were gay.
coworker: <laughing>
me: How dare you?!
me: <laughing>

So I figured out how ostream burnt his dick the other day when vaping naked at his computer:

Best meme event coming up:

So a few years ago I put tootsie rolls on little plates in the bathrooms at work. It took about a week before people started taking the tootsie rolls. I coined this experiment as the "bathroom candy" experiment.

Since it is April 1st I have revived this experiment, but this time I put Hersheys kisses on little plates. It will be an interesting experiment. But I am hoping for the phrase: "Who keeps leaving chocolates in the bathroom?!" or "Why are there Hersheys kisses in the bathroom?"

I expect people to be very wary of the "bathroom candy" this year. lol

Are people still questioning leaving Europe?

I was thinking it would probably be okay in general to stay. But then I see French and Germans are jailing political opponents.

IMO this is a huge red flag. They tried that shit here in the USA and even shot at political opponents. If they had succeeded I wonder if we would be in a civil war.

But Europe doing this concerns me more than Ukraine conflict. This feels like another build up to 1850 in Europe. I dunno, what are your feels over there? I wouldn't want to be in a one party country.

Need to try chocolate covered bacon tonight!

Saw F150 truck with license plate that said: 10X4X

I imagined a 4x4 truck with 10 tires on each wheel. Pretty sure its not a plate for a 10X4X dev or anything.

Blowing shit up with lightning. This guy is hilarious.

If he was a super hero he would be called Understatement Man.

So my wife picked up some gyro meat (double entendre?). Anyway, she forgot feta and pitas. So we substituted parmesan and tortillas. I said we are eating Grexican tonight. Not sure if parmesan is Italian or not. So maybe we are eating Grexican🤌 tonight.

My daughter had her gyro, but the tortilla had ripped a bit. She said she had the ripped burrito. I said the burrito must have been working out, because it was ripped.

It is kind of sad though. We had a really good gyro place in town. But the owner died and so did the business. There are no other gyro places. Not all gyro heros wear capes. RIP

Oh the irony. I gotta ask a JS question here...

How come I can't do this?
<button type="button" id="idGetData1" onclick="{async()=>{ await get_data();}}">getDataFromWebserver</button>

But I have to do this?
document.getElementById("idGetData1").onclick=async() => {
await get_data();
};

Why the extra steps and need to run in onload?

Playing around with fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest for testing an embedded board.

Holy shit! Just watched "Hardcore Henry". The most Cyberpunk thing I have ever seen. What a wild ride.

Warning, if you have issues with motion sickness then it is not recommended. I don't have issues, but some of the camera work really tested me.

dude1: Some man died from euthanasia.
dude2: He committed suicide?
dude1: No, he was killed by a gang of kids in China.

So I thought of this joke today so its definitely a work in progress. But then I wondered what happened with the suicide machine in Europe. So I found this horrifying account.

https://care.org.uk/news/2024/...

I mean, she got what she paid for...but...this is so fucked. I have seen a few discussions on this and there are complications to this account of what happened. I expect it will take months if not years to sort out what actually happened.

Imagine if it failed due to a dev bug? Who would want to work on such a machine? Seems so fucked.

I checked out a mining technology course at the college. It was a boring class.

Somebody from Alaska randomly texted me to go to lunch somewhere. So I am sending them memes about eating people.

Why do Javascript devs prefer dark mode?
Because cockroaches run away from the light.

Don't care for Teslas as vehicles. But I might be swayed to drive this once or twice:

So a lot of games have in game fake operating systems. They are usually just standard fare utilitarian. I got to thinking that maybe I will have a brand of OS in game that is loosely similar to certain IRL OSes. However, I want to have at least one in game brand OS that insults the user.

user: <clicks on browser in fake computer OS> (loosely based on IE)
computer OS: Don't use that you stupid asshole!
user: ...
