Bloody posted:why is walking a networked directory so impossibly slow are you using nfs? is it a big directory? are you doing a stat on every file? I have known this to be a bad combination because apparently it's not optimised in any way despite being an obvious case to expect

i am recursively searching for files in a directory with names that match a pattern and either this directory is several orders of magnitude larger than i thought (it is pretty big & deep to be fair) or the throughput on this is literally tens of directories per second

it doesnt help that .net's builtin directory walker (Directory.EnumerateDirectories/EnumerateFiles) fails terribly if you don't have read access to everything in the directory/subdirectories

Got a surprise email just now that effective tomorrow until some undetermined time in the future (months) there is a company-wide coding freeze so that the big "fix our ancient, vast, tangled, and awful IT product suite for the entire company" project doesn't have to deal with moving goalposts. Good news is my job is not in danger.

the best part about scrot is that it names all its file i.e. 2016-09-28-161423_690x213_scrot.png so you get to explain to people constantly why your screenshot is named _scrot.png

i once worked at a place that had a two week code freeze after each release during which we were to work on refactoring and cleanup, but were not allowed to make any changes to the code. i eventually gave up on trying to understand what this was supposed to consist of and just accepted the two week break every 6 months.

i'm not sure what a "coding freeze" even is, but it sounds like everyone would create local branches simultaneously and then when it ends you'd be paralysed by conflicting pull requests??

also we have freezes every 3 months ish but you can usually release anyway if you have a good reason like "the US election is not going to have a knock on effect on [internal DMS] UI bugs please let me release this" but there's always one at christmas because everyone is away where you need CIO approval or something and without fail, the end users panic and demand we do a load of stuff just before and somebody somewhere always fucks up. one year was pretty funny though because a user deleted like 2500 records by mistake on day 1 of the freeze and we went "oh well our hands are tied, guess you'll need to enter them manually or wait until january lol".

Nowdays a code freeze is when management doesn't know why none of their 1000 critical items are done so they stop all work (except the really critical stuff) until they can figure out whats going on.

learning typescript now. its better, but i have to say that it seems odd to me that theyd write a language specifically to take away the weirdness of js but then still hold onto stuff like the weird usage of colons in function signatures and poo poo like that. if youre going to make a good language that transpiles to js, why only take me half way in the name of preserving aesthetic similarity to js?

you can't meaningfully implement a b+ tree in a language that doesn't give you any control over memory layout. you can write all of the algorithms and such, but if the end result doesn't have your leaves in contiguous blocks of memory it's all sort of pointless
