Closed Poll: It's Friday...
-
At our shop we have summer hours and get off at 2 pm (of course only if we take 30 minute lunches during the rest of the week).
What do you guys think I should do with all this time on my hands?
- Make another poll (troll+)
- Smoke weed, eat Doritos, take a nap
- Go swimming
- Improve my macrame skills
- Author malware
- Play World of Warcraft
- Get a bottle of Bull's Blood, drink 2/3rds of it, then talk politics with my in-laws, leave the room and listen to the ensuing battle (troll+++)
- Learn Ruby on Rails
- Exploit Discourse for fun and profit
- Visit Conservative forums, pretend to be super-pissed and appalled about a particular wedge issue, cut and paste things I find on the internet (or bible verses) into posts so to add value and original thought to the conversation (troll+)
- Fridays are exclusively for hookers and blow, if you are not broke by Monday something is wrong
- FILE_NOT_FOUND
- All of the above
- None of the above
- Other
So many options and I'm just so confused.

Experience has taught us well to recognize mobys.

Yea..but that is only a troll +1 activity...that is like a 4 hour commitment.
Plus, it could be fun or boring if they happen to not catch on that I am troll. I may not want to risk it.

You should spend some of the time mentioning @mikeTheLiar
-
Mentioning @mikeTheLiar is ok...But I was thinking either do something self-destructive or personally enriching.

How about converting the TDWTF forum to Discourse? You can have a copy of my source code. Converting the database you don't have access to to CSV is an excercise left to the reader.

You have true talent useful for evil intent.
I appreciate that.

FRIDAY_NOT_FOUND
Oh, and @mikeTheLiar
-
Hey wait. This repo has code that does something. Explain again the purpose?
-

Mention @blakeyrat. I've received some warnings concerning it...

Have a heart - he only has an afternoon off, not a couple of months!

If I can't create my fun amazing programming idea in less than a weekend, then it usually never gets done.
-
I sympathise with this oh-so-much.
-
Be the first to XSS exploit a bitcoin / dogecoin mining feature while reading the thread. Nobody will notice the 100% cpu utilization anyway.
-
Ha! I just patched our servers a month ago because someone created a hijack tool that unrolled shit into peoples webservers and it took advantage of this very thing. The idiots that created it didn't think that bitcoin minerd on CPUs = pegged to death.
-
I'd like that but I was clearly wrong about midnight being the roll over point.
-
This is probably still a thing.
-
That's the one...
-
Much subtle. So respect. More Comic-Sans.

Can't wait for this weekend. I booted up my desktop that has been BSoD'ing for the past 2 years. I have a bunch of code on it from my last job that will give me about a year's worth of CodeSOD articles.
Preview:
The Crystal Reports wrapper that was so poorly written that a band-aid of resetting IIS every 5 minutes was applied to it.
-
HAHA! Crystal reports were the wet dreams of meeting drones 1997 to 2002. We had this in Coldfusion it was called Report Builder. I did a ton of Report Builder stuff for daily, weekly and monthly meeting masturbation sessions...and then on day, poof! no more Report Builder requests.
I'm sure it is still used but NO ONE I know uses it.
I haven't touched it since 2006. It is still a part of Coldfusion (in a dark corner of the codebase somewhere).
I generally wonder why that is?
Now that I said all this, I bet I will get a job ticket handed to me in the near future that will be report builder stuff.

Parents tell stories of @blakeyrat just to scare kids...He's not real. He's like Santa Claus.
I mean, how can you be everywhere at once and nowhere at the same time?

I don't know whether it proves he's real or not, but his domain is registered to someone who gave an address just a few miles from me. I've never actually seen him, mind you, but, well, just sayin'...
-
See...This thread has it all: sex, drugs, doritos, an invite to migrate old WTF posts to new the WTF, santa claus, god and politics.
Its like an all in one tool but its different.
A dream within a dream...

Does quoting someone with @blakeyrat place a notification in his queue, even though you didn't explicitly call him out?

I hope not. His personality and artwork frighten me and my cats.

Mmmm, well then, I would recommend caution and maybe some mandrake, caster beans, a sharpened spike, and willow bark. Maybe hang a corpse of a squirrel on your fence.
You know, just in case things go all pear shaped.

But what wards of evil possessed vampiric pears? Inquiring minds need to know!

I uh... Have some bad news.
Filed under: You may want to sit down for this.

That depends. If you're going to give out a truth serum, make sure you don't give out too much, especially not much too much and then ask the person in question to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth because it will drive them mad, as it almost did Prak.

Next you'll be telling me chairs aren't real.

Next you'll be telling me chairs aren't real.
Chairs are nothing but a collection of atoms of different elements with lots of empty space between them.What you call a "chair" is nothing but a concept, something you ascribe to that collection of atoms because it makes you feel better.
-
Next you'll be telling me chairs aren't real.
Are we talking conventional chairs, deck chairs, or ceiling chairs?

If I can't create my fun amazing programming idea in less than a weekend, then it usually never gets done.
With a fair amount of experience, the target to get to is “works enough to do something amusing, even if not entirely right or what you were originally aiming for”. If it sort of works, you may be more motivated to fix it later, some following weekend. If it doesn't work at all, you'll be dispirited and throw it away (or at least store it in Write Only Memory).
This sort of thing is also a key marker of what a successful OSS project looks like. It might not do everything you want, but if does nothing at all then it's a flat failure.

I was trying come up with something witty to say but was after midnight and my mind wasn't hitting on all cylinders.
My choices for Ben were not fun:
- Chairs are real
- Chairs are not real
...and who wants to read that after all this rich and thought-provoking dialog?
-

Dick chairs, sealed up with some nice black cock.

I think you meant something like Zwarte Piet then:
Or, closer to my heart since we have that in my neck of the woods, Krampus:
Chairs are nothing but a collection of atoms of different elements with lots of empty space between them.
What you call a "chair" is nothing but a concept, something you ascribe to that collection of atoms because it makes you feel better.
But wooden desks, they are real, right? Without them, where would web pages go?

Zwarte Piet
Zwarte Piet wiedewiedwiet je hoort hem wel maar je ziet hem niet!
That is indeed scary.
A zwarte piet related WTF: the Nederlands Zwarte Piet is under scrutiny for being racist. Not that zwarte piet himself tells dirty jokes, but him being obviously imported by Saint Nicholas from Africa. In Belgium they don't seem to give a 's ass.
Recently some Dutch governmental group with too much time on their hands produced some guidelines so that zwarte piet doesn't look so African. Sounds to me like racial profiling.
-
That is indeed scary.
I'm still gonna go with demon figure dragging children in chains as a slightly scarier variant. I mean hell, Zwarte Piet looks downright friendly when smiling.
Krampus, however...

Are there any way to "unvote" a poll? I voted by mistake from my phone on a shaky subway train and it seems I can change the option voted on but not remove my vote completely. Is this by design?
-
Are there any way to "unvote" a poll?
This has been asked before, but I'm too lazy to go find it and link to it. The short answer is, "No."
Is this by design?
I was going to make a snide remark about @codinghorror having some lame reason for it, but then I remembered it's a plug-in, not in the core, so for once it's probably not his fault.

It's ok, I was too lazy to try to find if anyone had asked before.
it's a plug-in
I remember reading that somewhere now when you said it.
No.
Good, now I know it's not me doing it wrong. (Or maybe it is, since I voted and didn't want to).
