Not pissing me off: After 92 applications in August, interviews are starting to come in. Not just one, but many! I have three lined up and two more in the pipeline. Maybe I can finally get out of this plodding hellhole I'm in now, and go back to actually making a difference somewhere.

Thanks Ants posted:It's YYYYMMDD so that it can sort alphabetically and still be correct Just use zzzz_Monday ZZZZZ_Monday ZZzzz_MONDAY ZZZZZZ1_monday isn't that the right way? Lol story time. I worked for a CMS company that uses an nosql object oriented database to store a tremendous amount of info. Basically the database was visualized as a folder structure by the client, ie it would load an object, with a class "FOLDER" and then check the class "CHILDREN" for objects that were linked as children to it that had a class of "folder" and it could visually display the database as folder tree based on "parent" "children" classes of the object loaded by the client. So this got to be a problem when as a CMS it tended to store objects in date folders. Typically the stricture was YYYY/ MM/ 01/ 02/ n/ MM/ 01/ etc so the larged parent to child relationship would be 31 (if there was a month with 31 days) However in one customer, a HUGE customer, they decided to have the each day be a YYYY-MM-DD folder, meaning that the root has an ever growing number of folders as the system is a CMS and will have content for 20-30 years. They also imported years of backcontent into it, so it goes back before we launched the system. It's a nightmare because when someone clicks the root folder to open it (in what looks like a windows explorer folder to them but is actually a database browser), the entire database LIGHTS ON FIRE while it checks the absolutely massive list of child and parent keys in a single threaded lookup to build the visualization. It was a complete night mare, imagine if every time you clicked on your documents folder it locked up the entire company's HD's while it loaded.

What are you gonna do if a time traveler from 1981 arrives and is confused about which century the dates fall in? It isn't really about needing the century, it's that 210322 is incredibly ambiguous because it can mean two different things.

Yool 2022 of the month of September and day 1st sounds logical, like, for keeping records. For conversation month and date are more important, year barely changes, so back of the line. Saying date first has no context, the 25th but which 25th We don't say 1st of September as much as we do say September 1st, anecdotally

Can we put the USB standards group thru a series of medieval tortures? https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/2022-09/USB%20PG%20USB4%20Version%202.0%2080Gbps%20Announcement_FINAL.pdf Another variant on a usb standard. Can we stop doing this poo poo?

The thing that always messed with my head with relation to USB is why didn't we have a type-c connector right off the bat? I mean, I can understand that from a signaling perspective we needed to have progression in silicon to get where we are today with respect to speeds. From a PHYSICAL perspective though, what would have prevented them from going with type C from the start (or at least, early enough to skip mini-USB)? Nothing about the physical aspect of it seems like it's something we couldn't have done 20 years ago. Are the pinouts too close together to have good signaling on older silicon or what? This has always bothered me why it took so long for the physical interconnect to get to something usable and good.

bull3964 posted:The thing that always messed with my head with relation to USB is why didn't we have a type-c connector right off the bat? I think the core issue is manufacturing prices, one of the core values of usb was to keep it simple on connectors and cable while offload complexity on the host components. USB-C is far more complex than usb or firewire connector wise. It has almost as many pins as dvi while being far smaller, until very recently a sizable number of amazon usb-c cables weren't done by machine but hand due to the tiny size.

One of the original base ideas of USB was also that it was a host-to-peripheral protocol. The computer is the host and controls all aspects, the peripheral just does as told. The idea that a device could switch between being the host and the peripheral was not part of it, and because the connection was directional in that way, the plugs on the host and peripheral were made to be obviously different so you could only hook things up in valid topographies. USB-A on the host side and USB-B on the peripheral side.

Also what is a good idea changes over time. When usb-a ports were unleashed on the world, we all lived in a world that was connected with d-sub ports. At that point usb-a was great because it was sturdy and you could gorilla it into the socket without bending pins (granted it took flipping it over four times before figuring out you had the correct orientation the first time).

Also not accidentally forcing it into the RJ45 port which was just about the right size if you were shoving from behind without looking. shoving from behind without looking is also my porn name

The USB spec required putting the USB logo on top of the connector. That may be the single most ignored part of the spec.

Fun fact about most USB type A plugs. The side with the USB symbol is the correct side up.  Efb!

It's ignored by manufacturers because they're cheap and by users because it's meaningless. The logo on top works, until it doesn't, or the plug is vertical (like on a motherboard) so there is no "top", or usb drives that ... just do whatever they want that day.

Any 64 bit OS will have already converted to a bigger int, so 2038 will be a non-issue. The main concern will be embedded systems (and by 2038 anything running now will be a historical curiosity I hope).

The underside of the A connector has the seam on it. Finding the direction on what you're working with is up to the individual tech, but the seam is always down.

Whoa whoa whoa listen up here pal, this is the human race. We don't fuckin' learn from our past mistakes, that's for chumps! We'll just bulldoze ahead confident that nothing will go wrong exactly like nothing went wrong in the past! Also even if it does go wrong who cares, that's a problem for future us! And as far as future me, may I say, gently caress that guy, he can deal with it. Haha. Sucks for him.

I work for a database company that can do something similar with directories (although in practice we rarely do) and I'm reasonably certain we can pretty easily return a directory with millions of subdirectories no problem. You would probably want to paginate the results, though. Edit: 20 years of directories is only like 7,300 directories. That shouldn't be a problem for Windows, much less a database designed to operate that way. KillHour fucked around with this message at 01:32 on Sep 6, 2022 |
