This is a reference to the joke why do software engineers mixup Christmas and Halloween?
Because
OCT31=DEC25

My managers wanted a demo two two days after the start of this project, after the demo the project was back burners by management in favor of more important projects, now they want to restart this project a couple of months later. It wasn't that hard to figure out I just had to step through the code and review what the method was supposed to be doing.

I put a request for a software package to be installed, and I got the automated message saying they where about to install it, if forced a restart and when it came up the only thing different was no git.

There is a guy who sits next to me who writes a bunch of assembly, but to be fair lots of people in my area write assembly.

Never had it, so wouldn't know...

@dewguzzler maybe if you work for an insurance company?

At least it's 16gb of ram. I wish I had that much at work. Half of the computers where I work are 32bit machines

@DomNomz no OCT31 =DEC 31

@DarkMukke true, this guy did it because he didn't know that an in escaped space would start a new file path, he thought the worst that would happen is that it would error out, and this was one of our seniors who has been working in this space managing systems for 20 years

@DarkMukke one of my teammates did that (rm -rf *.*) with root on our dev/test system I am just glad it wasn't a our prod system

My two are vim and ispf as they are about the only editors I have to work on

@tahnik no how but whatever I am a mainframe admin

Looks like where I work

@grolofson in most states refusing payment is damage to the Business as you have spent time and resources on the product in your case he even accepted the product therefore there is a damage that can be calculated

All you need to do is go to the court house and file a triple damage report the judge will sign it and they will be compelled to not pay the contract price but 3 time the contract price

I know this is reaching but if your servers are using norton, which is common, there is an exploit that allows,that takes advantage of an unpatched compression library that with the right code will execute the code as root instead of scanning it. This bug was found a month or two ago by a google security researcher. There is a patch that can be applied but it requires a reboot and must be manually applied. Don't know if this is what happened but just another reason to love norton

I've only used it to build steps for automated deployment tool. It is similar to Java, you can even use Java classes and the Java api.

Nope, oldest is pl/1 cobal and assembler, my team at work has people who have written in all 3 and still code in assembler

Docker is unless you need to virtualization a different country architecture, then a van is the only choice

it is duplicated data not unique, so it really is a ddos attack

Java will be around for a while, in fact ibm created the zip engine for their mainframes so it runs for free cost wise unlike other programs written in cobal or pl/1

Mario is always good, and so is chess
