Status: If you can't accelerate around corners and you can't remember that the lane you turned into is going to become a right turn only lane in a half mile, then you shouldn't be effing driving!!!!!11elevn
Imma gonna show you a screenshot from Gaggle Maps:
http://i.imgur.com/JuGIUwf.jpg
That's 16th Ave, looking eastbound, just past Warden Ave. Because the road is straight, and because there is a long, deep valley there, you can see clear to McCowan on the horizon-- about 6km away. It's a perfect vantage point to see exactly what traffic is like for a good, long distance.
And when it's nighttime-- it's actually even easier, since you can see the movement and density of taillights. Or you can see other brightly lit and highly visible objects, like, say, a police car with it's lights on. You know, those massively bright LED flashing color changing lights specifically designed to be seen. Like the ones on top of the cop car that was, just tonight, in the right-hand lane. Roughly 1.7km away from where the Gaggle Car was in the above photo.
And, how many of the many cars around me do you think-- seeing that absolutely visible obstruction in the right-hand lane-- visible from kilometers away-- decided to pull into the left-hand lane early? If you guessed "none, they all got just about right onto the cop's bumper, then caused traffic jams by trying to force their way into 60kmph traffic from a full stop" you'd be correct.
Fucking idiots.
BONUS: You can also see incoming traffic kilometers away. Well, YOU can. You know who can't? Well, about a month ago there was a collision in the Eastbound lanes. Right in the middle there, in the stretch where there's a golf course to the North, and no side streets to the South. So traffic was backed up allllll the way. So some people decided to make U turns, go back West and find an alternate route. Except for the one dumb shithead who, despite being able to see incoming traffic for miles-- made a turn directly into oncoming traffic-- effectively shutting down all the Westbound lanes too.
Fucking idiots where I live.

Status: The teams in Otherplaceville on our project announced a new plan, since the project is not looking like it will be ready on time. First, they're going to throw away most of the meetings. Then, they're going to plan their sprints daily. They also intend to use one shared backlog and co-locate.
Funny, that sounds an awful lot like our team's SOP that they forced us to abandon. It sounds an awful lot like a pretty normal development practice that starts with a K. Oh, but it's totally not that. It's a new crunch-time plan they invented. For this thing that isn't crunch-time, because crunch isn't something our company can be seen doing.

We have that problem, but we also have the complete opposite problem:
In my previous job, my commute involved a dual carriageway with two lanes each side. One side had roadworks for a while, so people all sat in a one-lane tailback for about three miles. I think you'll agree with me that that's dumb. Why sit for ages in a stationary lane and leave the other lane totally empty?
Anyway, occasionally, some person with more than two brain cells would actually use that lane... only to find some cunt-ass lorry driver is playing traffic police, and is straddling the lane lines, blocking everyone from using two miles of empty lane.There are two lanes. Use both of them. We fucking pay enough collective road tax.

@RaceProUK
Of course, the tailback would be moving more responsively if people would stop zooming up the lane that's closing and then forcing their way back in :p

Either that or the system hard-reset just because one of the disks went offline...

That seems more likely.

Status: Working on sanitizing one of our older modules. In response to a review comment:
Yes, this isn't quite correct, but the only case where this condition triggers is in edge case where the condition 300 lines up doesn't trigger, and we don't really care too much about that.
I'm not done yet by a long shot. But I'd like to get something merged before my vacation next week.

Well, bhyve does core dump when the guest OS asks for a reset, so it's not out of the realm of consideration! :)

Status: Collating my notes on an older version of a master's thesis with the newer version to see what they have done to address my issues. Came across a single word note:
"run"
... upon closer inspection it was a grammar correction (they had written "ran"). But my first instinct was to look over my shoulder and possibly throw my printer out.
