pandas is uniquely terrible and to this day I cant understand why it's so popular.

If you want your data to be mangled beyond recognition with no way to debug why, pandas is for you!

If you only want to be able to process datasets that can fit into memory, pandas is for you!

If you like debugging OutOfMemory errors in pipelines at 2am because some genius on your team thought the source data would always fit into memory.... you guessed it! pandas is for you!

Damn, my end game right here in this meme.

I don't come from a farming family with 100 years of land ownership (although I was brought up in a rural community) so I need to be a dev first in order to purchase land

Microsoft products = Average

Microsoft users = Average

@nosoup4u i'd say he means Terraform. You can use it to manage your infrastructure without touching the abortion known as the AWS Console

@drewbie if you're in software, then you're almost certainly an individual with and individual employment agreement. In this situation, you're the master of your own destiny. All going on strike will do is show that you're a problem.

If you're sick of your situation, find another job. There are plenty available in the tech industry.

If you want to be in a unionised industry with a union that specialises in keeping useless people employed, then go work in the public sector

No point in going on strike, nobody will give a fuck. The best thing you can do is find a new job - that way, you can negotiate a new salary.

If your existing company doesnt want to lose you - then you have some bargaining power.

If you go on strike then you're just a cunt - it's the equivalent of throwing a tantrum and hoping they'll give you what you want

@wiki drinking at work

No, you're a model employee in management's eyes. Keep working long hours 7 days a week until you burn out and quit

Wait until you

see how cunts write C#

The holy grail of software development companies is to get a government contract. Then they can milk the fuck out of it. Its never been about building usable software.

Mashin Lernin

+1 for Swift.

Now try and write that in Objective-C using NSSomeFuckery

Its like being a PHD and then because you have "Doctor" in your title people assume you're a medical doctor

To make it truely secure, store the data as a hash and then bruteforce it every time to reveal the original data.

@PaszaVonPomiot not really, once you understand the structure and stop thinking its a centralised VCS like Subversion.

If you want something truly fucked, use any Microsoft product for revision control. Visual Source Safe would be an excellent place to start

Whelp, women only get moist for Haskell

It would be totally unenforcable. What's the country going to do, block access to software hosted in another country?

Oh, wait, China.

Not unless you want to add a bunch of complexity for very little return.

Pick a cloud and use that, every cloud has proprietary things that might not translate 100% to another cloud.

If the cloud you pick is AWS then you have the benefit of whatever problem you are trying to solve - it's almost guaranteed someone with more money than you already had that problem and its been solved in the platform already

@xsid @Fast-Nop actually, as a Certified Troll, I care. Just enough to make your comment 'no one cares' invalid.

@smirving especially in Java.... clearly the authors of that code learned a Microsoft language first.

In my opinion, the only "correct" style for any given language is the style used by its standard library.

Anything else is failure to adapt to the language and holding on to crap from other languages as though it means something in this language.

In 2019 a QA should have some ability to automate the tests (if theyre carrying them out manually).

However, their primary skill should be breaking things. Breaking things effectively requires knowledge of how the system works / how the system is put together.

Ahh, the good old "Senior" dev that is actually a Senior Citizen instead

Thats a good quote. I'm going to save it

Yep - like every other one of Microsoft's products, Dynamics is an average piece of shit.

To be honest I have never used a CRM that wasnt, but that may be because the CRM's that get used are not decided by people with a clue - rather, people who are easily swayed by fancy salespeople.

The sad thing is, people actually write things like this and think they are hackers.

Well, write is a strong word. They typically copy+paste from a tutorial

So what happened was, Web technologies which were originally invented for displaying documents could be contorted more easily into user interfaces than all current desktop-based UI frameworks. They also has the bonus of bring portable across all devices - kind of like Docker except from 1990 and each device has subtle bugs in its implementation.

Anyway - due to this, the fastest way to build something that runs on as many devices as possible from Day 1 is to base it on Web technologies.

Web technologies use a shit-ton of RAM because of things like the DOM and the Javascript engine - in general, the more complex / nested the interface is, the more RAM it will use.

Some genius came up with the idea to create a kind of "web browser host" shell to host applications built on Web technologies but allow tighter integration with the host system - and called it Electron.

There is some overhead involved with this, which uses up more RAM.

tl;dr: RAM is cheaper than developers

It's just the politically correct way of saying "Developer who isn't useless"

RIP...

You should probably also look into a backup solution as well

@M1sf3t oh yes I forgot about that, also the 'do you want to allow blogxyz.com to enable location access so it can profile you by location'?

Reply back:

Actually you fuckwits, you said this was confirmed complete a fortnight ago (see attached email from you confirming it was complete).

I am not going to rush around last minute to "fix" it - you can wait until I have capacity which wont be until early next week.

Your printer deadline is YOUR deadline - not mine. Stop trying to project it on me. I don't care how you deal with the printer company but I suggest you ring them and tell them the report has been delayed because YOU wanted last minute changes.
