I still do.

I wish they’d open source Delphi (and most of the libraries). Might actually breathe some life back into it.

Fortran has a logo now?

I’d rather recommend every CEO see it in action…

They’re the ones who would be cock-a-hoop to replace us and our expensive wages with kids and bots.

When they’re sitting around rocking back and forth and everything is on fire like that Community GIF, they’ll find my consultancy fees to be quite a bit higher than my wages used to be.

I consider boilerplate code output like that to be well within reach of simple tools though. Tools that didn’t need a year to learn from hundreds of terabytes of examples, 20GB of VRAM, or the power use of a small city.

Given how it “learns”, asking for the same homework questions people have asked for on stack overflow a thousand times already would likely give a decent answer.

Asking it something new will produce plausible looking gibberish.

It has no idea which is which. It doesn’t know where the limits of its knowledge lie. It just knows that the answer looks like code and is very confident, and that any follow up issues can be dealt with by outputting more nonsense code and an excuse.

I’d wager they could cut a lot of cruft from a handheld gaming device specific version of Windows.

I bet Antimalware Service Executable is still randomly springing it’s way to the top of task manager in this build. All sorts of crap that just doesn’t need to be running. On my PC right now I can see Service Host: DNS Client at 1-4% all the fucking time. Random driver update checks that run in fucking Electron for some godforsaken reason. That kind of shit.

Probably this. Especially on low end hardware that doesn’t really have a lot of background resources to give.

Just open task manager and see all the shit windows thinks is essential to run all the time. Scanning the drive for viruses, downloading updates for shit you’ve never even looked at…

Writing regex is easy.

Reading it again after a couple of weeks…

ffmpeg command lines are straight up black magic.

Anyone who understands them is not to be trusted.

It’s even worse than tar.

The New King Trump I edition will.

Whaaaaat? This isn’t what Jesus would have wanted!

Greed 4:19 “You get your own fish and loaves. I paid for this. I can throw it on the floor if I want. Suck it up libtards!”

As always the best way to get a response on the internet is not to ask a question.

The best way is to post a wrong answer.

Many of our customers store their backups in our “cloud storage solution”.

I think they’d be rather less impressed to see the cloud is in fact a jumble of PCs scattered all around our office.

Good old JS, because exceptions are a sin.

We all know what it is.

But her emails!

Said the bad n word on stream.

I once asked somebody for a spreadsheet (they were trying to import the data into my software and it was failing), and got back a .doc file containing a screenshot of Excel running the spreadsheet.

I was in awe of how somebody could misuse so many pieces of software at once.

Probably. It’s going to come out of their health insurance after all.

Indeed. What you are looking for is a spreadsheet.

Don’t overcomplicate things.
