    Mmmm, shit is yummy!. A billion flies can't be wrong, can they?

    Many moons ago I was working on an interface between an accounting system and a sales system. I explained to a guy that the accounting system stored dates internally as CCYYMMDD.

    "That's ridiculous", he answered, "how would you represent a BC date?"

    "I have no idea, but if I ever have to send an invoice to Alexander The Great I'll get back to you!" was my reply.

  5. Re:Some people have goals in life on 'Productivity Is Dangerous' (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    The thing is this, laddie: there's productivity, and there's the appearance of productivity.

    Which do you think is more visible? Which do you think is easier to measure?

    How about that fact that he rails against anyone who works hard?

    Does he? I thought he was railing against the ones who try to fake it.

    Movement is not progress. Noise is not information.

    You forgot to mention that you're self-employed (even though you're effectively a civil servant) so you can deduct hookers and blackjack as business expenses. And that if anyone loses his job to an H1B, it's because they should "be moar gudz", and you'd know all about that because you work in a sector that's reserved for US citizens.

    And that drunk driving is your constitutional right.

    Clearly, you're having an off day.

  8. Re:General public maybe, but... on Think Twice About Buying Internet-connected Devices Off Ebay (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    Wiping and installing Linux is the second thing I do,.

    The first thing is do is to have a bit of a snoop around. In case there's any pr0n. To, umm, alert he authorities, if it's dodgy. Yes, that.

    Did I say pr0n? I meant music.

    Doesn't disprove my point. The police, boseder agents etc. could have stopped it if they'd wanted to and been competent.

  10. Shouldn't it be four? on Think Twice About Buying Internet-connected Devices Off Ebay (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You should think twice before buying any internet connected device, and twice again before buying anything of Alleybobo. By my reckoning that's four times - at least.

    If you control the mine, you can control who gets the product.

    Not if the mine is surrounded by another country's police, customs officers & border control agents.

    Perhaps they smuggle it out in the internal mail - hide a couple of pounds between the secret santa list and the football club newsletter?

    It's just that managing software developers pays better than being a software developer

    Thing is, the people managing software developers don't know what they're doing either.

    People always claim that it's hard to make hydrogen which is true

    Making it is easy. I can do it with what's on my desk right here.

    But storing and transporting it is a cowbag of a job - it leaks through anything and totally fucking knacks some metals. From a theoretical point of view the easiest way is to stick it to strings of carbon, but that's just crazy talk.
