Hmm any minute now he's gonna start up code igniter because that programmer's on fire.
Incoming, incoming. Take cover. @Arantor is doing that PHP thing again.

@Captain No SAP dB drivers. Interfacing with a MS SQL server here.
It's a buggy piece of shit without that behaviour though. Another favourite of mine:
Enter something into a data field at least I think that's what they are called which I guess is Crystals way of letting you have a bit of post processing on your db data like say cleaning out white space with a trim or writing a simple a if clause...
Anyway, if you put any comments in your code and save it, the system will strip your comments or think your entire code is a comment and clip all of it. Of course at other times it works without a hitch. Just so irritating.
Hey, don't run off our forum mascot. We'll be hard pressed finding someone else to do the job at this community.
I really ought to spank you more often.
Here I was hoping for Blakey doing a sexy dance in a mankini. Seriously disappointing video. 0/10 would not watch again.
Nah, but we did discuss last night if I would still date him if he regenerated to be a woman. Timelords for you.
We did Fawcett's Bounty tonight... always makes me feel like an idiot. Those jumps across the beams seem way harder than they should be. Sure it's just me fatfingering it though.
@Arantor Ahoy Rustacean. Have you read the Rustonomicon yet?
Scans get multicoloured stripes on black and white documents. Pretty awesome, isn't it.
It's nothing too fancy I need. We support customer systems we have limited admin access on. We usually have a local admin on our server, but no access to things like Citrix, Active Directory, Domain Controller, Group Policies, or the physical hardware.
Customers provide their own hardware, that must meet certain specs but is very variable.
What I need is someone who can can work out at which router packets get lost, create and read wire shark traces, troubleshoot with telnet, understand how to set up a Citrix server and publish and application on it. Ideally it would be helpful if we had someone who could identify latency problems. We have issues like barcoding over Citrix not working or traffic on certain ports not arriving. Familiarity with cards and drivers. Being able to work out from an event log/ traffic log why comms are interrupted.
For the most part the person needs to interface to customer IT and be able to prove or disprove their claims about network performance. Some of the customers send me their entire networking profiling logs to prove that something isn't their system being misconfigured.
So I guess familiarity with tools and being able to read logs like that.
I don't need a designer or anything too advanced. It's just costing us a lot of time currently to deal with issues that I have to look up in Google rather than confidently know what's going on.
We thought this would really be entry level stuff for someone with any kind of networking/ cs qualification. Though from the applicants we are getting I am despairing.
The other one I saw today asked me if I could explain what XenApp was as opposed to Citrix.
2 years Citrix experience per CV.
Waking for @Arantor to get here. I think I've been stood up. Might have to give the flowers I got for him to someone else as a random act of kindness - before I decapitate them.
That was partially the point - to pose the question like the customers would. Because being able to get those answer is a useful skill in support. I did say he could ask me anything about the problem ... And that he could try steps and I'd tell him what "happens".
I know Иди в пизду (spelling?) just not sure I'm allowed to say that to cusstomers.
When you have a job like ours you get pretty close. When the stakes are patient lives you bond differently than over a "delivery milestone". Plus we all often do unpaid time if someone gets stuck with a case. Nobody leaves at night until our hospitals are up and running.
Generally goes one of two ways. New joins either become family or don't last a month.
The stress is power overwhelming and you are often powerless. Pooling our skills and knowledge sees us through. This dynamic only works well with people who like each other.

You're doing it wrong (TM)!!!
And it doesn't quite come out like that.
"Hey any plans for the weekend."
"Maybe, thinking about going on a date. I met that cute dominant..."
Nothing stays secret for too long.
Would it make you happy to know that knights are free to chose their kings, queens or other ruler-identified persons as well as squires of their own free will?
I get that one. Guys in corsets can be pretty cute.
tempting.... he did say he had nothing to wear for the company Christmas photo
Penny is very important so the person doesn't zone out. Doing something stupid like that requires constant attention and focuses them on the punishment. XD
You're working for my company now? What floor do you sit on?
Our curing cancer UI sure needs work.
I am so sad I cannot watch this at work. SOON. +3 Affection.
I had a bunch of folks try to reverse engineer the barcode font on ours to make it work with other models of programmable scanners. If course this didn't at all go wrong when used for patient treatment verification. And they tried to sue us over it too.
I'm in oil and gas so lots of legacy crap to support that was commissioned 35+ years ago and is still running.
On the newer jobs I don't even get to touch the code. It's all written by some dudes from kerbleckistan. This is when senior software engineer becomes a euphemism for XML editor.
About 0.1 seconds. There is a lot of mess there. We have reasons for the "former".
He's always been nice to me, but I think his shoulder aliens have mellowed in the last year.
@anotherusername I had some customers in trouble lately because they can't get serial drivers for the barcode readers anymore and zebra has even dropped support for virtual serial ports these days... so lots of customers who are really annoyed as their entire clinical workflow collapsed because they can't barcode in their patients.

whoops. Maybe, that was a bit too enthusiastic.
Combination of lack of time and not being enough of a geek. I don't even get all of the front page wtfs.
I've tried to explain, but clearly the distinction that certain things appeal to some people while not to others is lost on you. Just because something is different doesn't make it superior. Just because someone prefers something doesn't mean they consider the choices of others inferior.
But if it floats your boat to consider me a superior being you are very welcome. Can't say I had that happen before :-)

I betcha you would have done the same!

Embarrassingly, both A and B are ours. Result of some corporate merging. This is what makes this such a wtf. You'd think we would test our own stuff... prolly was forgotten as there is a new release every 4 months due to clinical safety concerns.
And yes, we knew we would break A6 - it needed done. It expected to receive certain data in an unsafe, non-compliant way. It's stupidly half-baked. It can receive data correctly, it's just that the software B interface was not set up for this initially.
Really, 2 should never have been sold as an upgrade there. But if it must be sold one should enable the licence and fix the configuration so it can send safely... but of course sales!
Read up on Saphir-Whorf's linguistic relativity.
all that dark magic the blood legion gets up to!
It's not unambiguous in the sense of meaning. It is unambiguous in the sense of grammar.
You can really think of a lot of lojban words as an object that takes arguments. Therefore their relationship is clearly defined.
So you can't produce something like say: Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
But you can still talk complete nonsense that other people won't understand for lack of context as well as in any other language.
And it's ultimately a weird premise to build a language based on "un-ambiguity" when really language is mostly about building a group identity and saying things that outsiders won't understand :)
But I find it a fun project to watch.
You'd ask for GitHub accounts? I find that confusing for anything other than very entry level jobs aimed at graduates where there is no work history.
Otherwise, if as an experienced professional you have the time and inclination to be on GitHub a lot I'd seriously question work/ life balance and priorities.
Aside from that the weirdness of asking to scrutinise someone's hobby. At least in the places I worked no code would have ever been pushed to git.
i agree with that sentiment. sounds a bit like a rpg character list.
Discourse is full of weird and wonderful.
No, make that just weird.
I wonder if the French is buggy due to the space in the magic string.
