I’ve been seeing a lot of doofs lately claiming that some study proves the Dunning-Kruger Effect isn’t real.
Just as with generational differences, of course it’s real. It’s just not easy to capture in your little science spreadsheets. There is a difference.
Fuck this clown-ass nonsense.
Being consistently late is a moral failing and it is disrespectful. You are implicitly telling me that your time is more valuable than mine. One of the reasons I am almost never late is that I do not presume to believe my time is more valuable than anyone else’s. And I am one arrogant mofo so if I value your time just as much as my own, you can show me that courtesy as well.
I just stop dealing with people who are consistently late. It is literally not worth my time.
Why, Microsoft. Why must you be like this. Who hurt you.
The thing is, though Graph is terrible, I am sure its replacement will be far worse.
Graph is very developer-y in that is extremely, absurdly verbose and also ridiculously complex. I’ve had similar experiences to the above. What used to be single-line commands are now 30-50 lines.
I was forced by MSOL deprecation to rewrite a Powershell script that I used rather commonly. It was around 100 lines long. It’s now 2,000 lines of Graph slop. And it’s not even as functional as the old one as actual capabilities were removed.
I do not understand why insane complexity is so appealing to dev types and I guess I never will.
Damn I hate degrowthers.
“Justice-affected.”
That’s a criminal. He did some crimes.
Realized she was a complete Jesus freak after talking to her for a bit. She seemed cute and normal at work…but basically only talked about Jesus and her cat outside of the office.
Canceled that date.
Self-plagiarism is the stupidest fucking thing of many, many idiotic concepts academics have come up with.
Jut an incoherent and ridiculous idea.
What kind of world is it when a freakin’ chicken salad sandwich is $20?
It’s California so it’s gonna be expensive, but damn. I can make that at home for what, $2 total? That’s a 10x markup.
I don’t like helping people and I don’t like asking for help.
I think I worked helpdesk too long for that. It changes you.
The “conversation” around Alysa Liu after the Winter Olympics was so odd and a great example of what occurs when you allow women’s neuroticism and instrasexual competition to go off the rails with no checks.
Average Man: Wow, she’s awesome and seems like a great person. She’s cute, funny, happy and seems like she might be fun to be around.
Screeching “Feminist:” WHY ARE YOU SEXUALIZING HER? Why are you obsessed with sex? It’s all you ever think about!
Average Man: Who said anything about sex? I just think she seems like a neat person, one you could really talk to.
Screeching “Feminist:” It’s sex all the time with you men! All you ever talk about!
Average Man: Someone is obsessed with sex here, but it’s definitely not me.
Of course, deep down, a lot of those American “feminists” know they are terrible people and that no one wants to be around them; their romantic prospects are dim because they are mentally ill, won’t get help with managing it, and take their self-inflicted maladies out on the world. And the remarkable thing is that (other than being delightfully amazing at figure skating) Alysa just seems like the average American girl from 30-40 years ago before 80% of women went absolutely fucking nuts.
They loathe her because she’s everything they will never be.
Being ideologically against AC is one of the stupidest things I know of.
The other is moron leftists and their opposition to nuclear power. That’s making a comeback now, this time in combination with really loony conspiracizing.
Mask obsession at this point and whatever the hell that is are just signs of untreated mental illness.
No, they have no idea how fucking clownishly stupid they sound because most of the people spouting nonsense are from the “philosophy is useless” crowd.
Predictably — because philosophy is ineluctably tied into anything we humans do — they start attempting to use philosophy when they need to rely on it, but have no tools to do so. Utter garbage then spews out.
Kubernetes as a project is a reification of developer indecisiveness and incompetence
Sysadmin types generally don’t write much software, but the equivalent in our space would be some poorly-maintained unreadable 2,000 line batch file written in 2002 and still being used today.
Kubernetes is what you get when devs get their wish list and then can avoid responsibility or accountability.
Oh, shit, I’d forgotten about that HP driver until this post. What a nightmare. Some things have gotten better over the years.
