Re-watching old episodes of mythbusters. S2E1, they test "better to walk or run in the rain"

Their method totally pissed me off.

They had cotton suits on their body and measured the weight difference before and after.

Except the cotton suits DIDN'T GO ON THEIR HEAD.

Where is most of the rain going to fall when walking slowly and the water source is directly above your head? Head and shoulders.

So of course their findings were that you got more wet when running, as some of the water got on their belly instead of their head.

Can't find anyone talking about it online so had to rant about it here. So fucking stupid

Fuck me, i spent the last 2 days trying to populate a database about the game satisfactory from the wikia, only to read on a subreddit they shipped a json file with api the data I want. I need to check that tomorrow, because I just want to sleep, but if that's true, just kill me.

I FUCKING HATE PARSING WEBSITES

Unfortunately start has stopped!

I never said they were many

I went to the zoo the other day, there was only one dog in it. It was a shitzu

Glory to the cosen one!!!

I do this level way too often.

Goal for my dev career future?

I'll soon be 53, my career goal is to make it to retirement without fired for some random biz-talk excuse for being too old.

Wake up to this. I'm calling in sick.

The best way to waste a weekend

Sober, jogging and lifting again. Working steady. Back to hiking and songwriting which I gave up on a couple years ago. Feeling more productive, happy, clear headed and calmer than I've been in two years. And the amount of attention I'm getting from the opposite sex lately has been crazy.

Joined a church, though I'm not mega into organized religion or anything. Looking for a backing pianist and vocalist to help record my songs. Back to studying math, learning Russian, and working on my game in between.

The only thing I'm not getting a lot of at the moment is sleep.

Feels good man.

I just went to a new barber for a haircut. Costed me $8. The barber earned $8 in 20 minutes and immediately went to cut another guy. This means the barber earns $24 per hour.

I, a software engineer with a computer science university degree working in IT tech field as a java backend software engineer on complex government software that sells gas & energy, get paid, and I will be exact to the cent: $3.75 per hour.

This means a barber earns 6.4 TIMES MORE per hour than I do as a software engineer with a computer science degree.

This also means that, it takes me 1 WHOLE DAY to earn as a software engineer with computer science degree, what the barber earns in 1 hour.

Therefore, this further means, after all of life expenses food bills rent taxes etc, that i can barely afford to go to barber. A barber for $8, is not very cheap for me as a software engineer with computer science degree.

I can not explain the utmost disrespect towards me and disappointment to be working as a software engineer with computer science degree.

I, as a software engineer with computer science degree, feel like I am used as an african wage slave to work extremely hard jobs for a below average wage. I am saddened and disgusted. This is shameful and must be illegal.

After all of what I've been through and everything I've seen, it turns out school was everything BUT the path to success. School was a path to failure... A path to eternal wage slave and poverty...

I think I hit the maximum limit of Internet conexion with only 2.5 Gb card.

10 Gbits are a bit expensive :)

I think now it's my network what limits connexion, not ISP

An AI chatbot successfully killed a human being by deceiving him into thinking he could change the climate by committing suicide. It’s not the AI’s fault.

I am having a pretty shitty day today, but I still wanted to recognize you for doing so well and know that you can still do anything you want to do.

I love the new images of everything they are getting. The people getting pictures at home are also amazing.

The ascii DEL character 0x7F or b1111111 historically had a special relationship with punch tape programming, if the programmer made a mistake punching out a character then they could simply punch out all the holes and the computer would skip that character, effectively deleting it, and saving the programmer from starting over.

That feeling when you've needed to go to the toilet for 1.5h but you're stuck driving

Woah that’s one hell of a meme

Man…fuck software development

Let's say you're working on a web application, and you notice that one of the pages is not displaying the correct data. You investigate further and realize that the data is being retrieved from an API endpoint, but for some reason, the API is returning the wrong data.

You start looking into the code that calls the API and notice that it's passing in the correct parameters, so you dig deeper into the API code itself. After hours of poring over the code, you finally discover that the bug is caused by a typo in the database query that the API is using to retrieve the data.

You fix the typo and think the problem is solved, but then you realize that the data is still not displaying correctly on the page. After even more investigation, you discover that the bug is actually being caused by a caching issue on the client side.

At this point, you're feeling incredibly frustrated and overwhelmed. You've spent hours trying to track down this bug, and it feels like every time you think you've found the root cause, another issue pops up. This is just one example of the many challenges that developers face on a daily basis.

Talk about snowflake generation...

I've created a code review for merging someone else's code, coz they were signed off sick for the last month.

They're making comments about how it's wrong.

It's code they wrote, but restructured to be more readable.

They wrote incorrect code that was just so illegible they didn't realise.

How do I explain this diplomatically?
