I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

lol this is so cursed, I love it.

Now include time, with tz offsets

Why do some people insist on doing big-endian dates? Little-endian (YYYY-MM-DD) is trivially alphanumerically sortable. Also, it’s part of the goddamn ISO standard for standardized date format.

Get out of my head charles

Haha, heisenbugs, always a fun time.

More seriously, I’d be surprised if this wasn’t a classic race condition

Looks like 5 to me

Dude, it’s less clear than the existing symbol. Stop trying to push this.

We will also accept “I’ll file a ticket under the tech debt epic” (which will never get picked up unless/until it causes a prod outage/SLA violation)

End of season, at least, or whenever the livery/sponsorship contract runs out. Mercedes isn’t liable to care too much - it’s just a livery.

Part of growing as an engineer is learning how to manage upwards. Unless relevant, don’t offer useless context to people who won’t understand the nuance anyways.

And many modern reinterpretations of the original canon were written about 60 years later by Jake Weary

I think Andrew might be a lawyer.

My roommate for a couple years in college was pre-law, and did some internships after graduation but before gaining his own law degree. He mentioned at one point how absolutely and hilariously pervasive it was at the firm he was working for attorneys to just run screaming to IT every single time literally anything was even the slightest bit inconvenient or obtuse (to their understanding). Part of it was the logic of “I bill clients at $800/hr, I am not spending my time to resolve whatever this hiccup is”, but part of it was absolutely also some bullshit power dynamics.

Who hurt you :(

That’s not legal serialized json, in the context of how any lib in Java (that I’m aware of) would either parse or render it.

Ignore me, I misremembered, sorry about that.

Worst is when someone fucked up the DB time configs at some point and you have datetimes in a column that fall during the “nonexistent” hour in which clocks skip ahead for DST, and you have to figure out what the fuck actually happened there, and where in the data pipeline tz data was either added or stripped (sometimes it’s both, and sometimes it’s not just once), and undo the timestamp fuckery.

Source: did that this week. Was not super awesome.

Eng: so we were discussing this concept, and it’s something we might be able to put together in 6-8 months. Would th-

Sales: HEY JIM LETS GO SELL THIS FUCKIN THING

Eng: …what.

It does smack a bit of manufactured outrage, doesn’t it?

Right??? I’m continually floored by how many genuinely smart people I come across who ignore this concept, which is one of the biggest reasons I just don’t trust LLMs in a general sense. Like sure, I can use them fairly effectively, but the vast majority of the people who interact with LLMs don’t use a level of caution with them that’s appropriate.

And that doesn’t even touch on the huge ethical (and legal) issues around how LLM devs acquire and use training data.

Just skip the intermediate naming conventions and go straight to dom/sub

I feel like he doesn’t understand that he’s the common denominator here…?
