You don’t look a day over 20, good job surviving!

You’re not even deep-frying it? Barbarian…

Partition the internet… Like during the Morris worm of '88, where they had to pull off regional networks to prevent the machines from being reinfected?

The good old days were, maybe, not that good. :)

Bro you’re being bitten by chupacabras or something, what the hell

I 100% agree with your point of view then, it seems very logical.

Let’s say I’m immune to mosquito bites. I wouldn’t even notice one or two buzzing about. But I’m very reactive to bites, and get itchiness that lasts for what feels like hours, so as soon as something buzzes nearby, I’m panicking.

I’m scared to ask, but is there context to this?

A more serious answer - it depends greatly on where I’m working and what we’re doing.

I’ve worked in places where we’d receive outsource work. Usually we’d get fairly detailed instructions about what to do and what to avoid, that were discussed between our PMs/architects and the client, including tests for example that were agreed upon. You were supposed to follow those to the letter, but the most important part was that you needed to deliver quickly because the customer wanted to keep costs to a minimum. “Useless questions” (from their perspective) were seriously frowned upon, so if it wasn’t specified, the expected approach was to do whatever was quicker.

This occasionally lead to situations where their QC/UATs would identify issues with their business rules, but as long as it was compliant with the requirements we received, it would then come back to be changed (at additional cost, depending on how big the change needed to be).

Once accepted though, job done, grab your next work item and move on. Months later they could run into a situation like the one in the printer and come back asking for a fix, but very likely that would go into the CR bucket and a quote would be provided.

Of course if you’re working for a company that actually cares about what they’re building, the philosophy is completely different. If I’m working on our products, then I build a good understanding of what I’m working on, and I’m expected to flag any concerns or issues I encounter even before it reaches QC.

That said, I’ve never heard of a developer ever being criminally charged other than intentional misconduct - like, in the world. Look at the IBM Queensland Health payroll system fiasco, I’m not sure anyone was even fired, let alone prosecuted.

Or even the Boeing 737-MAX crashes - how do you build a system that pitches the nose down repeatedly, without limitations? Those guys who worked on the MCAS software would 100% have considered a scenario where an angle-of-attack sensor would provide bad data, and the consequences of repeated trim, but alas - 2 planes crashed, 350 people died, and what are the consequences? Some payouts…

Look around you, you’ll find “unrestricted fields in a public-facing app” (from a practical perspective) everywhere. Shrek’s script has what, less than 50k characters? That’s nothing, you can fit that in a Facebook post and still have more than enough to write a full movie review.

Where this would likely raise flags is when somebody decided that it needs to be printed, but that could be a different team, maybe outsourced, maybe after the main app was developed, maybe it’s just some “plug-and-play” system that also handles bulk printing jobs, who knows.

100% accurate, though vibe coding is optional.

If I have a set of requirements that don’t mention any type of restriction, then I won’t arbitrarily add one - as far as I know, I could be breaking intended functionality. If I’m invested in this, I’ll add it to the list of stuff that needs clarification, otherwise it’s gonna ship as specified, and eventually someone’s gonna file a change request.

The first two are the most definite reason I’ve killed a lot of plants.

A friend came over and nearly screamed “you should be watering these every 2 WEEKS NOT 2 DAYS!!”.

But what do you mean that 5m from a window is “too dark”? I can see fine…

What OS is this? Don’t recognise that daemon, nor a tool called ance, but I can get behind the chown alias.

Piano players are not expected to carry their piano. Cellists be dragging that thing through a crowded subway train :(

I heard from my dad that back in the day some butchers used to pass it off as some cuts of beef. It’s not like they couldn’t sell horse meat, since it’s legal (there’s some health requirements) but beef is supposed to be more tender and tasty, thus more expensive.

It’s just not a particularly desired type of meat, so you don’t see it often at butchers nowadays.

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

Clearly the grain of sand who in time will be ground down and melted to form part of the core processing unit of the terminator.

An AI will contradict and correct you. They’ll just act all subservient when doing it - “That’s a very common point of confusion!”

No AI I’m sure it’s not, it’s just me who said a dumb thing.

I don’t follow. Isn’t that why you’re letting dogs in your vehicle in the first place? WHOSAGOODBOY

Just how strong was that wind…

Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.

If anything, I’d say that’s the single best case for buying IBM - if you’re incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you’ll be OK.
