> TeamLeader2: Ok we need this series of parallelized background processes. Each process must gain exclusive access to certain resources. How do we do that

Company made it known a few weeks earlier they are not longer profitable...
Solution? Organize a table tennis tournament between colleagues. Mandatory participation.

Just got a call by the ceo asking me 1 or 2 weeks before my contract is. Prolonged wether i’m up for developing along in Swift for the iOS app. Im a frontender who was struggling with #C mvc lately and now this…1

We started having trainings at work. I don't know what the driver is exactly, but I assume its some contracts thing. Once per month we are getting these. Me assuming it will be about lock and tag out, or shop safety. No. So far we have had 3 trainings: ergonomics, medical professional blood borne pathogens, and active shooter. I get the ergonomics one, but why we need hospital grade blood borne pathogen training is bizarre. I find the active shooter training both bizarre and interesting. Probably a sign of the times type shit.
I am driving home thinking about the whole active shooter training. The training said we should have drills for this. I am imagining a customer or delivery person shows up and we are doing active shooter drill. Probably needs to be planned so that doesn't happen.
The training talked about potential indicators someone might exhibit before becoming an active shooter. As they are going through the list of 15 or so items I was checking off boxes on that list for myself. I think at most I had 4 or 5 items. So I guess I am 1/3 of the way there. Not sure how many you got to get before it clicks and you are shopping for hollow points.
I started thinking about what has to go wrong for someone to want to come in and shoot everyone. Then I started thinking about the random posts on here. I realized some of y'all probably ticking a lot more of those boxes than me. Some of you are definitely on the "potential" list. Stop it, get some help.
I started wondering if I could be so angry to want to kill people. I decided for me that a lot of things would have to go wrong for that. Then I got thinking about the whole shooting thing. An active shooter has to know they are going to die, or be in institutions forever if they live. Its a permanent action with pretty conclusive results. The whole murdering people seems pretty messed up too. I don't even like seeing animals suffer. (Skyrim dismembering mods don't count.) Irreversibly hurting a person would be worse. Seriously, I think we can do better than this.
So I present to you the "active tasering" employee. You will get fired, you will go to jail, but you will see Suzy from accounting convulsing violently and then pissing herself. I honestly think tasering asshole coworkers would be a lot more satisfying. Also quieter so you can make it farther in the building before someone beats the shit outa you. You also will most likely just get charged with assault. (assuming nobody's heart stops) Not sure it would even be a felony. Out in 3 years? Worth it. RIP future employment though. Maybe I can be a lumberjack...7 -
My company is making is sit through what can better be described as "The Dundees".
Those useless, time wasting, self aggrandizing "award cerimonies" that companies use to... dunno, I think to stroke management's ego.
I guess it's part of their compensation package, right there with making the hottest employees wear revealing clothing in order to be "engaged" in "informal team building exercises".
Frankly, I'm glad my sixteen-years-after-my-navy-days ass doesn't qualify.
Fuuuck, why can't they just give themselves bonuses for being "such engaging person-bosses" and let the rest of us just work? Corruption used to be a quick and easy affair. Now it requires soooo much fanfare.2 -
So it turns out that Rust's import resolution is Really Fucking Complicated
https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens...
It supports glob re-exports and circular glob imports, conflicts are valid if you don't use them or if they ultimately point at the same name, paths may pass the same module multiple times. It's very convenient to use, I never needed to fight with it, but it's borderline impossible to correctly implement.2 -
working to overcome decades of cultural and educational training (public schools and college lmao) of being an unquestioning slave who does what they're told
to actually think critically with a product mindset and question is missing from a specification
does anybody have tips1 -
What the fuck is up with Germans man. Everyone I discussed ideas with had such a defeatist nutjob attitude of “things are never going to change” and rather complain about the terrible state of companies which actually want to change something. Its the same shit as with electric automotive, fucking pathetic these weißwürstchen sucking bitches14

Isn't it eerie how the same cat looks cute to you and absolutely terrifying to a little mouse? Imagine a monster that knows no mercy, can hear your tiniest movement, is 20 times your size, is faster than you, with fangs as long as your head is wide, that can crack your skull in one good bite and swallows those like you whole.10

I wanna do a lay of the land survey a bit here
do people at your job threaten you or otherwise demean you?
for example,
threats such as: if you don't work this weekend you're not a team player / a problem element for the team, we don't care about your happiness you should only care about the client's happiness when you're going on your pre-approved vacation and saying no to being on call
demeaning such as unprompted comments like: if you work hard maybe you can be as good as some guy in a totally different department who just got 100$ gift card at a company party ?, and he makes the company 100k a year whereas I made them over half their revenue, in the millions... so that was very confusing. but they did a number of these comments. like the CEO showed pics of his (humble) house and I said it looked nice, and he said if I work hard maybe one day I can afford one wtf -- it's not like he perceived me not to be working hard, the guy literally called me perfect when he was a sourpuss about everyone
how about backhanded rewards? like for example they say you can work from home one day a week to get you excited about something but then turns out the work from home policy requires you to fill out a form they have to approve 2 weeks in advance of the date, and then the CEO comes in and says "yay now you can work from home when you're sick"21 -
we should archive these posts, I'm gonna miss the choice bullshit when this forum finally gives out4

Appartheid south africa was so great I think we should do the same in Belgium.
If you're vlams / germans / dutch / american:
You live in designated area where you can be protected
Checkpoints every 100m
You can get a job. But you know, with your germanic genes you're only good to pick up the trash and repair shit for 10 euros an hour. Real jobs for normal people.
600cal per day max. You guys are fat enough already.
Your vote count! You get one seat in parliament. Also if you don't vote what we want we send militia.
Finally we'll clean europe from all those germans people.7 -
One day you'll go hiking and find a house built by no one. It will be then that you'll realize you can't go back home.2

Polish military has the official "8 wounds" chevron that is given to those who sustained 8 battle wounds. Do you know why Americans don't have those? Because you have to be Polish to get wounded eight times in battle and still be alive enough to wear this thing on your uniform. Poles are built different.17

I can’t seem to comprehend why I can’t comprehend modern Frontend approaches. I think I’ll just stick with the backend side of things and go deeper instead. Nice try react 💙37

I feel like the social good of tech never really came to fruition. Like my local store can probably tell I have poorly managed ADHD from my irregular shopping schedule and caffeine/sugar addiction but all they use this info for is to try to sell me more salty peanuts.
The peanuts are tasty tho ngl5 -
Just got WHIPLASH from seeing a racist ad in my local gym.
Racist is a bit dramatic, but at the VERY least, it's tone-deaf as fuck and from MY perspective (Where I missed the first 10 seconds of the ad) it was definitely racist feeling. Even with the context, I think it's pretty strange.
Anyways, this grocery chain is running this advertisement campaign about their yellow tags. I guess yellow tags in their store are supposed to be good! So they depict a bunch of yellow things and put text on screen saying that "yellow is (positive attribute etc etc)"
You might already see where this is going?
Basically, they had one scene with bold yellow text "YELLOW IS HAPPY" and the background of yellow tulips. Again, I joined the chat while the ad was already going so I barely had time to read all the text before the scene changed.
The next scene that they chose to depict yellow things?
Oh, just a child in yellow overalls holding a yellow ice pop. Oh, and the child was Asian...
SERIOUSLY how tone deaf could you POSSIBLY BE. DON'T PUT ASAINS IN YOUR COMMERCIAL ALL ABOUT YELLOW THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
It was especially jarring since I lacked almost all context. I thought it was some shitty comedy sketch for a moment.

Proud owner of a brand new Volkswagen, baked less than a month ago :)))
Lots of touch and tech inside, lots of assisting technologies -- quite a jump from a 2005 Audi a6. You can even track your car in your phone now OOTB :) cool!20
