This reminds me of a colleague who was always ranting that our code was not documented well enough. He did not understand that documenting code in easily understandable sentences for everybody would fill whole books and that a normal person would not be able to keep the code path in his mental stack while reading page after page. Then he wanted at least the shortest possible summary of the code, which of course is the code itself.

The guy basically did not want to read the code to understand the logic behind. When I took an hour and literally read the code for him and explained what I was reading including the well placed comments here and there everything was clear.

AI is like this in my opinion. Some guys waste hours to generate code they can’t debug for days because they don’t understand what they read, while it would take maybe two hours to think and a day to implement and test to get the job done.

I don’t like this trend. It’s like the people that can’t read docs or texts anymore. They need some random person making a 43 minute YouTube video to write code they don’t understand. Taking shortcuts in life usually never goes well in the long run. You have to learn and refine your skills each and every day to be and stay competent.

AI is a tool in our toolbox. You can use it to be more productive. And that’s it.

Da der Zug nie ankommt könnte man von einer Verspätung von ∞ Std. sprechen. Würde in den Berechnungen dann auch mächtig reinhauen 😁

You can’t imagine how much I hate this setting. A couple of weeks ago I helped a guy install some specific software on a windows machine provided by the customer. It’s like one exe with a config file. Pretty basic. My instructions were:

1. Copy the exe to a specific path
2. Create a new text file in the same path and copy paste this provided text into the file
3. Rename file to abc.xml

The exe was throwing errors because of the missing config file. Of course the filename was abc.xml.txt 💩

Hello! Here is your random engineer: You have to connect both trap doors to the same side of the turbine. Otherwise your generator has a great chance to get blocked by users.

Otherwise the concept looks good. If we find a way to get the Linux guys out and make them able to walk a slight incline without collapsing this should work.

Vergoldete Kontakte haben nichtsdestotrotz ihre Daseinsberechtigung: Die Kontakte korrodieren praktisch kaum und dementsprechend ist die Leitfähigkeit der Steckverbinder unter erschwerten Bedingungen zuverlässiger.

An der eigentlichen Qualität einer Verbindung ändert sich praktisch nichts. Da spielt am Ende die Signalleitung und ihre Abschirmung eine größere Rolle.

All diese Pseudo HiFi Argumente bewegen sich in der Regel auf esoterischem Terrain.

Wow! Das erste mal, das ich mich mit ihm identifizieren kann 🤯

Please stop you’re going to break them! 😂

Here in my region of Germany Audis are slowly replaced by Teslas. It changed that much that I even might consider buying an Audi in future, which was unthinkable since every second Audi driver was a PITA for years.

I was interested in buying a Model 3. But all former Audi drivers in their Model Ys changed my mind. Oh and also Elon happened…

A couple of weeks ago I tried Outlook 365 when Windows Mail made me mad for the 1000th time because it has issues to actually send the E-Mails from one of my accounts…

Anyway, outlook started and of course just added my Microsoft Account ignoring all other accounts that could’ve been imported from Windows mail. There was a new mail so I clicked it. Although Firefox is my default browser, edge opened and there was a website. It took me multiple seconds to realize that Microsoft just baited me to click an ad and earn a couple of cents.

I got so angry that I installed thunderbird. If I compare it with older releases from a couple of years ago it did get a whole lot better. I’m very happy.

Windows gave me so many reasons in the last months that I also ditched it completely. Running Linux Mint now and just like thunderbird it is so much more refined if I compare it with the past…

Paying money for crappy subscription based software like office (need it for work) and still getting ads was definitely the no 1 reason to switch.

Holes in socks make me crazy. I learned it the hard way focusing all my energy of a whole day on one damn hole…

Since then I always change them ASAP. Usually my socks wear evenly. So most of the time they are worn completely when there is a hole and it doesn’t make any sense to repair them.

They will get a last wash and land in a bin in my garage where I use worn clothes instead of paper towels. Socks are very handy for dirty stuff like holding motorcycle chains.

Maybe it’s me but calling it Linux Subsystem for Windows (LSW) would‘ve been more accurate in my opinion.
