    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I bought Dr. Squatch because it sounded cool and I liked the ingredients. Not expensive either. Already feels better than the Old Spice. Especially in my hair. I probably should have done this years ago. For those of you who are irritated by most store bought deodorants I moved to Crystal salt...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    For my chosen area of data engineering I have only partially felt this. I have a lot of exposure to the older architecture and a lot of the new. My team is mostly old people who spent the 80s and 90s working on enterprise Oracle/MS database solutions and stuff. There is an absolute fuckton of...

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    Had a Linux moment today. The bluetooth service went kaput and I couldn't restart it. It was just "dead." After previously working. I had updated something so I dicked around with some settings but it wouldn't start on boot due to some missing conditions. The actual solution? Something to do...

    We've been hashing out the director's fever dream the past week. Dude was getting frustrated when I explained to him that his desire to have the output in source control is a significant hurdle. Because executing some SQL DML or something is one thing. If you want it also source controlled it...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Not sure where to put this. I usually just buy whatever body wash the supermarket sells. Old Spice Fiji was fine as its readily available, affordable, and smells good. However, I was out of soap and ended up unpacking some old boxes from when I moved a few years ago. In that box was a 4 year...

    @Hateyou I remember seeing this forever ago but I am excited that this is coming out. It looks like a clever use of AI for simulated players or whatever its doing. But if the simulated players don't call me a retard faggot, trade scam me, kick me out of the group for letting the tank die, or...

    Same guy as before and this tells you a lot even though it wasn't intentional. This guy has read the code styling guide for example and fed it to the AI to write code. But he's complaining that it's not following the styling guide. There a a lot more people out there doing this who don't even...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    AI is absolutely great if you know what you want and also know the pitfalls of doing it various ways other than the way you know you need to. So you can just have AI deal with the tedious aspects of physically writing and formatting it. But you need to proofread everything it does because it...

    IMO the use of AI solutions is going to exacerbate problems. We are at the stage where companies (mine included) want AIs to actually perform actions. Take network engineering for example. The whole idea here is you have nerds piece together what your infrastructure is doing at any given time...

    Will any of them get let go over it? My job was unaffected by it but external dependencies that did have these issues did cause us some problems.

    Oh wow it really forces you to manually mess around with the registry to fix it? Gyat dyamn. Also, this is exactly why having fucking AI have total access to your infrastructure to "automate" won't happen lol. This is even worse than if you let an AI loose in your tech infrastructure to "find...

    We have tons of Azure Data Factories driving lots of our critical processes. None of them seem to work currently. Likely due to them all being modified VMs individually. So even our alerting of shit not working is down. lol.

    It can't just be crowdstrike though right? We don't use it as far as I know, all of our Azure stuff is shitting the bed. That's the problem.

    This sounds familiar. For whatever reason I was given this project to build an entire solution alone. But of the 6 platforms the other team was using I had used 0 of them other than writing python before in general. I had also never done anything with DevOps or anything like that. Somewhere...

    I bitched about this behavior from recruiters when I last went job hunting a few years ago. It definitely has only gotten worse.
