@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:
Fuuuucking homebrew. Told it to install some python package. Shouldn't take long, right?
Apart from the base Python and bits that are integrated into it, I've found that it's best to install all Python packages into a virtual environment, and that doing it like that means you can use binary installs of critical packages that speeds everything up hugely. In particular, numpy, scipy and matplotlib are pains to build yourself. (There may be other packages for which that's true too, but they're the ones that matter for our code at work.)
Also, matplotlib is deeply annoying in weird ways on macOS. I believe it is like that in an attempt to be “helpful”.

"Helpful" software could be a megathread. I'm already fostering too many megathreads at the moment, though.

I'm beginning to sense a generational divide between me and the members of the organisation under 30. Those over 30 send me a text file or a datadog link when I ask for logs. Those under 30 send me a screenshot first time. It takes a couple goes for them to realise I'm asking for text.

6/10 Not what I signed up for. I want more suffering. Going back to Dark Souls.
Apparently if you choose to give back Kuro's Charm in the beginning, it triggers a "hard mode" where everything does more damage and has more health/poise - and you take damage even when you guard. I missed my shot to activate it, though.
That's what you get for not reading the game wiki beforehand.

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

With Souls games I like the feeling of immersion from going in blind, but I bring up the wiki in the endgame to make sure I didn't miss anything important.
Of course, by then, it's usually too late for some parts, but that at least gives me something to look forward to in the next NG cycle.

Huh. So I found some promotion where the pharmaceutical company will give me the drug for free (or, thankfully, reimburse me, since I already bought it).
And now it's looking like some kind of scheme to eliminate patient deductibles in exchange for getting hooked on their new drug.
They actually came through on this. I found a check for $800 in my mailbox today.
When I had my backteeth did I was getting checks for like a month, I still kinda feel like I turned a profit on it.

Usually I do too, but Souls games are specifically built in a way that everyone misses 90% of content if they don't consult community wiki. Dunno, maybe that's your thing, but I really don't like playing only 10% of the game.

@JBert The difference is you're starting an open-ended question. That's not what they do here. They're not interested so they follow a checklist and count points. That thinking continues to their cookie cutter projects that never deviate from the tutorial lest they become hopelessly lost.
With the mindless groupthink and top-down dictatorship, why even ask about different design patterns? Everything follows exactly one - Angular IoC framework from the web UI to device drivers because everybody else is doing it. Why would you ever want somebody that knows about a second or, gasp, third or fourth, design pattern? Not like they'll ever have an opportunity to try or even think differently than the hivemind...

Right after a clean checkout,
git status
accuses one whole subdirectory and one single file in a second subdirectory of being untracked.If I remove said files, it lists them as having been deleted.
Right after a hard reset starting from an empty directory, git has recreated the files and
git status
once again lists them as untracked.Visual Studio shows them as changed, but both it and
git diff
say there are no differences (not even whitespace/line breaks).The joys of git filename case sensitivity.

They're not that bad but they are very similiar to Zelda games. There's just some very autistic shit in there that you wont get if you don't attack every wall. For the life of me I've never found anything in the first one that would hint at saving solitaire. Didn't even know he died until the third run.

@DogsB the only Zelda game I played was BotW, and that game has 100% of its content in first five minutes.

I have this issue currently with a file that had some mixed line endings. It shows as changed, but cannot be checked in because it's not changed.

Nobody, especially framework jockeys that just write/attach event handlers in JavaScript, does anything of consequence with inheritance.
Making a big deal about design patterns is equally retarded. All it does is make CRUD framework cobblers look like pretentious children more concerned with looking like an engineer than doing anything remotely resembling actual engineering. You're not shaming us "lowly" programmers and our bourgeois applications like you think you are.
The funny thing is that the correct answer is "That depends on the language."

Strong disagree. Design patterns are a great tool for solving variety of software engineering problems in a way that, when somebody else inherits the codebase 5 years down the line, they won't be plagued with suicidal thoughts. When a skilled programmer creates a solution while totally ignoring design patterns, 9 times out of 10 it ends up looking suspiciously similar to some widely known design pattern anyway, except worse.
Of course, using design patterns just for the sake of using design patterns is retarded. Same with being overly generic in ways that will never be used.

I actually just commandeered a but of over engineering to move some Cloud stuff into the cloud from a hand-typed XML file. Now the bits are in the database! Still hand typed, but now it's infinitely more likely to match the environment it's (supposed to be) talking to...

I laughed a bit at that. Because basically none of the postings I saw when I was looking were single-language. And my current job has me doing (on a day-to-day basis):
- SQL
- Javascript
- Typescript (some projects use one, some use the other, because idiots still on IE11)
- PHP
- Kotlin
- Swift
- shell scripting
- various DSLs (such as AWS's DSL-ish for cloudformation stacks, docker configuration DLS, groovy, etc)
And other things in the company use Perl, and everyone uses the non-programming languages of HTML and CSS.
I'm not just full-stack, I'm full stack in multiple stacks

Theoretically they may be a great tool, but in my experience they are often substitutes for thinking and/or create cult-like mindsets. That's why I decline offers from places where interview had more than one question about them*.
