Fuck…
Fuck…
In general, I’m with you
But sometimes I need to revert/comment out a code block, because another code part isn’t finished/working as it should.
Sure, it clutters code, but if I just comment out a function call and temporarily replace it with the workaround, it should imho stay in code.
Else the workaround will stay forever and the commented out code will act as a reminder, that this part isn’t clean yet.
But maybe it really is a case by case thing, where sometimes it’s better to branch it out for later merge - although that can get really messy, while having the future implementation commented out, others will also see, how it is supposed to work and don’t try to further extend the workaround, which makes future merging hell
Out of interest, how would your best practice look in such cases?
Well, that’s how my business trips usually look like.
Work outside of usual production, but still somehow watch and verify your changes during production the next day, maybe producing hot-fixes, and trying to get some sleep until you can do your tests of changes at night, after you hopefully have swallowed all the fucking log data with a beer - and sometimes 2 and something stronger.
Then you go to bed with an unresolved issue, wake up during the night with some kind of wacky dreamed up solution.
Without any other option you hack it in, and it miraculously works.
Then you go home and sleep - until some support call disturbs your Zen and you’re helplessly confused again …
Actually, in some industries this is actually a good thing
If you can have a bumpy first day on Friday, and e.g. the warehouse is closed on the weekend, you can fix all the things you’ve seen on Friday during the weekend. And don’t have to suffer through a real rough week with in-production patching
Anyone having a link to a more technical (detailed) description?
This is quite novice orientated and I’d be very interested on how it actually works. Is there anything already disclosed?
Edit: link at the end to the original research/more detailed explanation:
https://comsec.ethz.ch/research/microarch/branch-privilege-injection/
Trying a substance before 13 is so much out of the way drugs are used in a regulated way, that I’m not sure if this data is relevant here.
Only the dark market doesn’t care about your age…
Legalization has only positives
People who need something, to get through the day, will always seek for some kind of crutch.
When the legal range of available products (sorry, just learned, that the word “Sortiment” doesn’t have a nice English equivalent) aren’t helping ones issue, they’ll look for other sources.
But unregulated sources can bring multiple problems with it.
First off, and the thing, I care about most:
we’d/we do hurt people looking for some kind of help.
Either by directly reducing their sources of crutches to untrustable and dangerous ones, with a product that’s very probably not clean and could damage the user in unintended ways, they aren’t aware about.
We need to provide a safety net for people with problems, and not stigmatize those who try to help themselves.
And I’ve never met an addict, that was just an addict for the sake of it, or the feeling of the first time was so great - ok, maybe once I did.
But in every other case, the only ones getting hooked are the ones, that finally felt good with themselves for once in their life, when they somehow introduced some drug into their system.
And that’s why many of them say, it was that feeling of the first time, they always try to reproduce.
For a normal happy person, heroin wouldn’t make much of a difference.
But if you’re feeling unloved and alone, hurt and abused, when you’re feeling lost and don’t know what to do, than end yourself.
Well then, then heroin (or whatever helps your cause) will give you a new perspective of life.
This escape from overwhelming, oppressive, suffocation problems is it, why people get hooked on drugs.
There is just nothing wrong with recreational use, as long as it’s just about boosting a good time or even better, use mind altering drugs in a ritual setting, to change your perspective on things and learn (again) that love and your lives ones are the center of your life - or discover, that there was always one thing, that you wanted to do.
Doesn’t matter, if it gives you more options and happiness in life, it wasn’t bad.
Bad it is for the people who cling to it, because only on it, they feel like functioning normal.
Those people have actual drug problems, and even with crystal meth the statistics say, that only a few percent (we’re talking 1-2%) get addicted.
(At least that’s, what I saw and remember - proof me wrong)
And we have to keep in mind what social stigma fucking crystal meth has!
The group of people doing it (and show up on those statistics) are mostly people, that are already looking for such experiences and have stepped over the border of social tolerance, but look for their own thing (either enjoyment or escape/help)
And there is pretty much no one, who ever just started with meth (or other hard drugs, like heroin) . In the most cases there was at least alcohol and probably cigarettes/nicotine involved - there are absolutely always exceptions, but that doesn’t change much, what needs to change in our social system.
As tragic, as those exceptions are, those usually happen in groups, where people with problematic drug use already gather.
So, solving the problem of the mass, should also help to reduce those sad exceptions.
Ok, I’ve started a bigger second point, but the only thing left I have are those few words, trying to start describing an idea:
“Then we need to look into the individual”
Well,… I hope the first point is sufficient, and if I ever remember what I wanted to say else, I’ll come back here ;-)
So kids, you see, don’t abuse drugs, else you won’t remember shit… - although my mother has the same problem, and never in her live did anything illicit.
So I can’t say with confidence, that we can talk about causation.
But, what hurt my mind most, were social traumata (e.g. a Burnout), and drugs (and many exercises like meditation) exceptionally helped my mental state and ability to handle life and work despite my handicap.
As I said, as long as I actively work on a problem and use drugs in a ritual state, they are helping me.
As soon as I need them just to get through the day, then I’m having a problem, I’m trying to avoid.
I know, this is mostly about me, but talking with other users, I’ve mostly seen the same mindset.
Thank you very much!
I need exactly something like that thing! :-D
Something I can just connect to a device to gather logs and don’t need to care, that it’s lying in the dirt for a few hours.
Currently I need to use my main laptop and I’m always anxious to get it destroyed. Either by dirt/dust or a careless worker in the warehouse.
So this thing seems to be just perfect for such tasks
Can’t even express how happy and excited I am now, waiting for that sexy little thing to show up in my mail :-D
*bearly
Yeah, was the first thing I thought, how the fuck do they want to cool them?
That’s quite a large amount of coke though
And as the normal route is too snort it, I’m pretty sure you will have a hard time to get that much stuff inside you at once
Well, usually those go nice hand in hand
Woah man, I’m impressed
Was working my ass of in my job for years, but at home, I’m always just breaking down…
And since my burnout, I’m already happy, when I can accomplish the tasks on hand.
I really miss personal, fulfilling projects. But it seems, I just don’t have the energy anymore…
Ah, fucking auto correct
Should have read: my nephew ;-)
Edit: and regarding your question:
Yeah, there some power management tools/deamons to configure in Linux, how to handle what.
Depends a bit on your distribution/environment, which tools are available - or make sense to be installed
Yeah, because of the same experience for the last 2 decades, I always shut my stuff down as well.
Then I gave an old laptop with Linux to my neoprene nephew. And without further discussion or thinking, he just pressed the power button, when he wanted it to be off - which triggered some kind of sleep mode
I was so fucking nervous during that, as I had never tested for that, and for the young generation growing up with smartphones that was the obvious move.
But surprisingly it works like a charm and goes into some kind of standby.
At least I didn’t got any complains…
That’s why I bought the remarkable tablet!
Best thing ever for taking notes and scribbles
Edit: answer was focused on your first part. Although I’d really like to get better, I really suck at drawing - besides some technical things
Thank you!
I always tell my wife, I couldn’t even switch to a younger girlfriend, just because of the smell
Don’t know what’s up with that, but can’t stand the smell of schools either…
Ah yeah, I was including slaughterhouse biomass
That explains it, thanks!
I guess you mean white powder
White power is clearly very openly rampant in police institutions worldwide - although, I guess, the white powder isn’t far away either…
I thought they used some E2E implemented for them by the Signal team.
Have they already butchered it completely?
