Then hand them a pair of Walmart budget sneakers you bought for $10. See what they do...

Space balls although technically it's a mog!

I was meeting some friends at a Turkish restaurant and the table next to us ordered something so spicy I had to leave. Don't know what it was or how they ordered it but damn that level of spice should be illegal.

There is a video where a real game dev was showing how bad a specific benchmark was. It was basically read arguments, get a random number, do a for loop 10,000 times, inside there do another for loop 10,000 times, do some equation with a modulo, put result in array, pick a number from array and print to screen.

The biggest time cost was the modulo as that's the hot path. He basically went through and typecast all the ints to double. He got 4x the speed. It went from almost 2 seconds to less than 0.5 second just on that change. This is mostly due to cpu and compiler now using simd instructions.

Small changes can have big impacts.

I built a hundred bridges but am I known as John the bridge builder? NO! I built a dozen a castles but am I known as John the castle builder? NO! But I fuck one sheep...

While I think this would be good, why can't they track the boat to its destination, stop both the boat and determine who is distributing it within the US.

People in the US have to be distributing it. I realize they don't typically use official ports but even if they go to a specific spot and drop the drugs in the ocean and later another ship comes by to pick it up, track each stage and make the arrest after the transfer to the next person.

That's not even code grief....

Two examples that were far worse:

1. My last company wanted software developers. They offered to send me to code boot camp and give me a promotion. The boot camp was primarily python. I complete and get the promotion. New manager tells me the code base I'll work on is actually c... Umm ok. New manager retires a week later. I spend a few weeks basically teaching myself c. New manager is assigned. He tells me I should basically assist the senior Dev, ok no problem. Find out the code base is actually c#... Should be doable it's c based atleast. It's c# framework 4.8 based on winforns... No one in the building had heard of a unit test...the code was released to production on December of '23. Oh and yeah the senior Dev then announced he was retiring. There are no other c# programmers on the team.

2. I told this story before recently. On a separate c# code base the "login" function had hard coded credentials in the source, which checked if they existed in a local sql database table with one entry(the hard coded values) and then verified the returned value for "password" was >= than 5. It then logged you in. Didn't check if the password was correct or even the correct length just that the return of the select statement was greater than or equal to 5 characters... Just for fun remember that false is 5 characters 😂

Ironically the most common use of plumb is probably for drywall. You take a piece of string with some dyed powder and a weight on the end and you can use that to mark a straight line perpendicular to the floor.

I'm normally a fan of xkcd but I don't get this one.

Why would calculus teachers drill holes in the base of the tanks?

I hired a exorcist but then my credit card got declined... I got reposessed.

The idea in the old days was you feasted after harvest when you had a lot of food to spare
