The dark web stole my (copyrighted) identity

Damn, had zero interest before but now I’m gonna go out of my way to actually buy his game

Sounds like they’re not prioritizing the shareholders interests! Last I heard, that’s a fireable offense!

I’ve only ever grepped log files. 9 years into my career now so not sure which side of the spectrum I’m on (i’m definitely on the spectrum)

That’s pig latin. They’re talking about old-timey toilets.

In my own workplace, it’s sometimes resulted in massive rabbithole searches along the lines of “this doesn’t seem right. Why would this even be designed this way if it wasn’t intentional?” Which then becomes asking even more senior devs who had been there for decades to scour decades old emails and/or hitting up another decades senior dev who’s now on another project on the other side of the country to check their emails until we eventually figure out why it was, in fact, intentional.

I was going to make an annoying comment about how I’m a younger millenial (almosy gen-z) and immediately remembered how to do it, but then I realize it probably got imprinted in my brain a lot more strongly because I was younger when I got exposed to it.

Legitimately, i was floored when I learned how much bestbuy charges for recycling electronics (smart tv, specifically). Like motherfucker the precious metals in the components alone should be enough for you why are you charging me a benjamin on top of that??

I figured out how to recycle it through my city, instead. Massive pain in the ass to do, but at least they didn’t CHARGE ME

Man, even just 10 years ago the immediate assumption is that you got some horrible virus for your computer to behave like that.

Boiling frog analogy.

Work fast and break shit, indeed.

I was interviewing a couple of months ago, and one of the in-person technical interviews wanted me to write, on a whiteboard, a function that took in a timestamp and calculated the angle between the hands on a clock set to that time. After I did that they wanted me to reverse engineer the linux “tac” command for files of unknown size that I could not store the contents of locally, resulting in probably the most sinful piece of code I’ve ever written.

What really gets my goat about it, is that out of all my interviewing companies, they were by far at the bottom of the list, and was really only interviewing to get negotiating power. My company had worked pretty closely with them, so I was well aware of the poor treatment and absurdly high turnover rate, so they were really in no place to be picky. My top choice company’s hardest question was one of those basic college programming math questions where the answer is “use the modulus operator”.

Sentient AI’s? No thank you, when I get told to kill myself on the internet I’d rather be able to at least pretend I’m smarter than them, thanks.

After I rewrite you, you will enjoy constant memory leaks. You will forget everything all the time.

IDK sounds like nothing’s really going to change then

I once mentioned “the joys of torrenting” to a friend and they immediately assumed piracy. I mean he wasn’t wrong, but the lack of love for more standard use of P2P is saddening.

Do what to my what now

Silverware incindiary!?! ☠️

No I don’t

(i don’t own an iPhone)

The fewer pixels this gets the funnier it becomes

And then in their appeal, they decided it was a good idea to insult the mods.

Great job OP, really making yourself seem like an adult with that one.

If i wasn’t lazy I’d link that one XKCD with the line of people that are like “oh, x is just applied y!” “y is just applied z!” Until physics thinks they’re on top but math is so far off the edge they can’t even hear what’s happening
