Nice!

For others considering this, keep in mind that not all phones support external monitors, they need specific hardware for it. Pretty much all Samsung S phones support it, Pixels do not. So check if your phone supports external displays before you buy any hardware!

Getting a USB dock instead would probably get you both charging and Ethernet.

We know how it works, but we can’t explain exactly how it got to the answers.

Thank you for explaining that it was a joke.

That requires someone to look at that section in the IDE. If it doesn’t block the merge, it doesn’t do shit.

Golang won’t even compile with dead code. Unfortunately that’s too strict, you just end up commenting out the whole block instead. At least the commented out code is obvious in review, and some automated checks catch it if you have them.

I did the same thing with “DO NOT MERGE” back in the day. Saved some people who didn’t even know about the check.

Yeah, that’s what I was implying, just didn’t want to write a whole novel about it.

Using a file system is much less bad than dynamically allocating memory, at least as long as you keep a predefined set of files.

One of the last bosses in Half-Life is a testicle with pointy spider legs.

See, those are needed for compliance/CYA. That has business value, so I can work with that. What I’m referring to here is just training on useless stuff for the sake of racking up points.

Sure, if there’s a business need for cleaning the office toilets I’ll stop coding and do it for a day.

In this case it’s “everyone needs to spend a few weeks getting points in the training portal, we don’t care what you do in there as long as you get points”. This clearly doesn’t fulfill any business need, people just do whatever BS is the least effort per point. And as you might expect from an internal training portal, spending 20 minutes in that thing makes me want to stab myself.

Again, if there’s a business need for it that’s a different story, but useless mandates just to jerk people around are a deal breaker.

Do you brag about your long hours, or do you complain about the lack of predictability from management? Only the former matches the statement in the quote.

Management was handing out bullshit busywork recently, and some people were complaining. Then some guy was like “they pay my salary, so I do whatever they want!”

What kind of bullshit wage slave mentality is that? I am the vendor in this scenario, my employer is paying for the privilege of using my services. There can be terms and conditions from both parties of that deal, and if they’re incompatible the deal is off.

I have just the thing for you! Ever heard of binary XML?

It’s perfect for lighting bowls

I’m not saying it’s unrelatable, I’m saying the videos are interesting to watch. The amount of stuff that man created on his own is nothing short of impressive, and the way he talks about it is intriguing. Most of the videos are equal parts impressive and weird, and they’re worth a watch even if you’ll never try the OS.
