Rhesus Pieces posted:a software guy in that work gossip twitter thread floating around a few weeks back implied that a staggeringly high percentage of coders can’t code at all and just copy/paste off of google and stack overflow all day and collect a handsome paycheck for it man i wish some of the zeroes ive worked with had that kind of initiative. some just keep trying a problem with no generalized idea of how to get themselves unstuck if left to their own devices or turn in code that they clearly didnt test

software doesn’t work better because you invented it or typed it in from memory. if you’re solving $90K worth of problems by copying from SO or O’Reilly books, enjoy your money in good conscience.

yeah that’s the thing, if they just stole a SO snippet in most cases it would at least work

I wonder if anyone's ever studied the dynamics of how things spread between threads here on the forums. That 2017 tweet about DNA malware must have turned up in a dozen different threads over the past few days. Once SA thread dynamics have been figured out, of course, then the Russians can weaponize it, and next election all the goons are being played like a fiddle just as badly as our grandparents on Facebook.

Trump’s real brilliance was duping the media into giving him 24/7 free publicity during an incredibly crowded primary.

Outrail posted:I'm not an engineer but I deal with creating procedures and methodologies for data collection and poo poo with a potential for 'people could gently caress things up, also the equipment could gently caress things up'. It's incredible how you can say something out there like 'let's build in a redundancy so if someone forgets to 'x' or the equipment does 'y' the process won't just fail immediately' and people look at you like you're an idiot and say "well that shouldn't happen should it?". Yes! It shouldn't! But it will eventually happen so let's build in something to stop that being a problem maybe? Even in systems that should be completely redundant this just doesn't happen. I've seen fire alarm control panels reboot into programmer mode. Basically if your building's fire panel loses power because of an extended outage (enough to drain the batteries) and then power is restored it's a dice roll whether this certain brand of panel will come back to life or just sit there idly. Most manufacturers get it right with regards to the OS. Usually a pretty minimal thing that's suited to the application and impossible to break. Then there's this one brand we distribute so I won't name it, but they've gone and built some unholy abomination on top of some home brew unix kernel that's running like 3 layers deep. It's possible to get the OS into invalid states and I'm convinced there's no memory protection for the kernel. The best part is that it records all events in history forever so if you ask it for logs it will invariably hang and require a cold start because it will try to load like 3 years at once. Dead Beef posted:people would be worried if they knew how many critical systems are held together by excel The backbone of the last company I worked for was an Okidata dot matrix printer and a Compaq running windows 98. It was the only piece of tech that held their meticulously constructed Word documents that they used to print reports. Moving the report blanks to another computer would gently caress up the formatting since they didn't use margins or tables (or heaven forbid, Excel). All of the reports for every site were on this computer and they required that exact printer because they were using some weird carbon copy paper.

The problem is that "smarter" usually mean more technology. Not better, faster, more redundant but just more. You're not selling this to people that know or care, you're selling it to basically laypeople. So the system appears to work.

To think the idea of a simple robust system that does the bare minumum which is also the nessesary maximum without any fancy poo poo is a laughable pipe drea That's the fantastical bit of cyberpunk, that hackers brains don't occasionally melt because it's Thursday and the os they're running on is based on a hundred year old version of excel that date formatted their blood pressure to 'Thursday, 22nd March 1636'.
