So basically my rant should say "fuck people who put 3,500 loc in one file" that shit is unbearable to read

Haha I'm just joking around. Nothing against Perl, but I inherited a 3,500 line Perl script and it made me angry enough to post the rant

Or they'll talk until you don't even remember what you asked

I'm an avid vi user, feels second nature to me. The other day I was helping a coworker with something and he had nano as his default editor for git. I felt like I was using vi for the first time. I typed :wq when I was done and he was probably thinking "why the hell am I asking this guy for help with this shit". Vi is a blessing and a curse.

Where's the acronym? Gotta have an acronym

@Teknas yeah the idea is that they're going to make an ARM based chip to power Macs. ARM based chips are "efficiency first" so their low power consumption works very well for phones, but they currently come no where near x86 chips in terms of processing power. If they could develop an ARM based chip with the same processing power as x86 chips then that could be pretty revolutionary for high performance computing because power consumption would be less of an issue (it's currently a huge limitation for x86).

@rookiemaverick @Floydian @Brolls what do you think about their claim to start by 2020? I think it's crazy considering that ARM processors are MAYBE comparable to i5s in terms of power, and that's being generous. Also, they'd have to rewrite MacOS to run on the new architecture, AND they'd fuck over a ton of developers in the process because apps built for MacOS would have to be recompiled at the very least if not rewritten all together.

@D3add3d maybe I need to move to a new country..

So true.
Marketers: "check out our new cloud solution that uses blockchain technology, machine learning, AI, neural networks, deep learning, data algorithms, HTML, CSS, Python, cheesecake, code, and natural language processing."
Devs: "oohh nice. Wait, did you say cheesecake?..."

Hahaha classic. Last time I was job hunting I came across a job posting for a "junior cybersecurity engineer" and they literally wanted 10+ years experience in the cybersecurity industry.

What mother fucker with 10+ years experience in the cybersecurity industry is going to accept a junior job?!

@agentQ yeah I sadly couldn't find anything. Probably because there hasn't been much of a need haha

@plusgut as long as someone's having a laugh

@tracktraps @Artemix took a look and I'm inspired. Thanks for the suggestion!

It's like when you're trying to stream something from a sketchy site and there's a pop up with at least two close buttons that are actually just waiting to direct you to some Russian dating site... but I agree that it has to be the second one

//Scala

Object HelloWorld {
def main (args: Array [String]) {
println ("Hello, World")
}
}

@unfuckers-inc right?! Fucking crazy. Trying to offend other people's careers while they buy into something that's objectively bullshit.

Interviewer: so why do you want this job?
Rephiscorth: well, your test suite gave me a code boner
Interviewer: you're hired

@BertMaurau @jhh2450 thanks guys! This is encouraging.

Definitely pass. I've worked for a few clients like that and they have 0 respect for your time and effort. I can guarantee that he will never start meetings on time and you can definitely expect calls at weird hours asking you to do complex things immediately.

I made an Arduino bluetooth controlled door lock and it's badass. You can also try RFID or a keypad to type in a password, which the kit probably comes with a keypad

I'm using one as a VPN server and I made a RetroPie out of another. I definitely recommend the RetroPie if you're into retro gaming at all, but some emulators like N64 are a bit buggy.
