The only happy hours are the hours you don’t work by going home early. About 2 hours per work day, to be exact.

sukhmel ,

Was going to comment that 😅

I remember a guy who tied his baby’s rocker to the drive and wrote code to open and close the CD drive repeatedly lol. Fun times.

CanadaPlus ,

Hmm. Did the motor last? It’s obviously not built to provide that much torque/force, although I can’t say for sure it would be damaged by it.

elbarto777 ,

They don’t say how much the seat was being rocked.

Maybe just a couple of inches. Enough for babby to sleep.

CanadaPlus ,

Yeah, but the baby alone would weigh far more than the tray and disk ever would. And then they’re doing it over and over again for an extended period.

elbarto777 ,

Just a little push from pops at the beginning.

And they didn’t say it was a long term solution. For all we know, the drive was going to be replaced the following week.

CanadaPlus ,

Oh, so you’re thinking he’d start it first, and then start the program to be perfectly synced with the period of the rocking? I suppose that could work, although it would be tricky to get the timing just right by hand, or it would be for me.

And they didn’t say it was a long term solution. For all we know, the drive was going to be replaced the following week.

Yeah, and it might have electronics that will handle the extra load just by virtue of properties of the standard parts. Like I said, I don’t know that it’s bad idea, but I do wonder.

elbarto777 ,

I think you’re taking this whole thing too seriously.

People can do whatever they want for the lulz.

CanadaPlus , (edited )

I know, but I’ve been nerdsniped. I’m not mad or something, lol.

elbarto777 ,

Lol we’ve all been there, friend!

I like C# better. Ok, I’ll see myself out.

henfredemars ,

Me too. If I can use it, I prefer C# — that is — if I’m not doing systems programming, I don’t have to worry about legacy code, and mainly I’m supporting Windows then it’s really quite cozy.

MajorHavoc ,

That’s a solid description. I’m stealing that. “Cozy” is an excellent word for that sets C# apart from other languages.

Templa ,

More like Java#

AVincentInSpace ,

In the early days of C#, before it was called C#, Microsoft gave it the most Microsoft name ever conceived for anything ever: Visual J++

skuzz ,

I did not realize they were one and the same!

AVincentInSpace ,

update: i just looked it up and they are not. Visual J++ is a predecessor to C#. Nevertheless, the name “Visual J++” in all its Microsoftian goodness(?) is as good a descriptor as any for what C# turned into

skuzz ,

So more an iterative family member, which I suppose was more what I’d expect with how Microsoft hisorically handled programming languages. Still interesting! Thanks for the fact-check!

Jimb ,

I like C# too. I feel like I shouldn’t because of how Microsoft it is, but I can’t help but see it as a better put together/structured Java when I use it.

penquin ,

I feel the same, but to me, it’s more understandable than the other C derivatives. I just understand it better. I’ve been thinking of diving into rust lately.

This sort of thing always reminds me of the classic Louis CK bit from Conan O'Brien: Everything is amazing and nobody is happy.

Can New outlook even open eml?? I remember it couldn’t just a few months ago.

Edlak ,

It now can but not always. Still easier to point the default app to old outlook.

An email client that can’t open email files? Hmmmmmm.

Is this something to do with the fact it’s routing all emails via Microsoft servers?

I am not a developer

Between “One too many nulls” and “The tests are larger . . .” in the beginning, then moving up one notch for each day you’ve been wrestling with it.

I once had a spambot @ me and like 100 other people I didn’t know on a repo I’d never touched before.

I reported it for spam and got an email from Github Support within an hour notifying me that they had taken action.

Aatube OP , (edited )

I remember that time some guy pinged nearly 40k people and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours

AVincentInSpace ,

Your Markdown link is backwards. It should be [link text]/(url) (delete the slash obvs)

Why are you googling? Lol

Corigan ,

Keep seeing this but what the alternative?

Ddg is garbage, kogi is paid so what’s the go too

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

DDG and is great. Let’s test your theory.

Provide a real world example of something you would search for, and we can see how they both do.

Corigan ,

Fair I can try it again.

Maybe all search engines are awful vs the height of Google before it’s enshitfication

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

It’s only getting enshittier.

Searching anywhere kinda sucks. Especially if it’s an obscure topic. I swear half of what I search for just sends me to Reddit nowadays.

Now it’s being trained on Stackoverflow, consider those days to be over.

Q: Hey ChatGPT, I have issues with RAWINPUT under Windows, how do I fix it? [Insert code here]

A: You dumdum, I see you’re using the language D, which is for cucks. Real alpha programmers use C++, as they don’t need things like memory safety (skill issue lol), and can afford multiple monitors because C++ still thinks we still only have a few megabytes of compiler memory available, so programmers still can see the header files. Want to still develop in an easier language for shits and giggles? Javascript, so your friends don’t have to deal with .exe files (evil), and the web is the future anyways.

Regardless of that, there’s already a C++ library that can handle input for Windows and many other operating systems. Oh, it uses DirectInput 8? Well, who cares, don’t be picky, or just stop programming altogether, and leave it to the professionals. [place for a lowtiergod meme, but with the text “you should quit programming now”]
