Who tests the useless survey? Everyone with regression tests. Like dude, everything you talk about has been written “in blood” from years of hosting production systems. If the useless survey is needed, then write a test for it, or a testcase to manually try it. Don’t just upgrade, see that the app is up and push to prod, that’s not testing, that’s asking for trouble.

Okay, let’s be angry at the company and frown a lot at what happened. Gurr, bad company, evil.

And now think of what you’d rather have - a working system, or a reason to be angry? If you have something that integrated with something else, lock it down at a specific version so you control the upgrade and know those versions work 100% of the time together. “Latest” is just asking for trouble - be it in a docker image, in dependencies or elsewhere. It’s absolutely not a “best practice” if it isn’t even a code smell or an outright bug. You could’ve had a slightly outdated version, which won’t be “exploitable” - you wouldn’t have enough time to exploit anything in that time, especially with smaller companies and obscure exploits.

Instead of putting out the fire, you could’ve been now looking into the upgrade, seeing on UAT or Test or whatever that forms aren’t supported, chilling till they are supported or complaining that they aren’t.

Upgrades breaking shit is like programming / devops 101, and a huge reason for technical debt in very old projects. Leaving all that to chance is just irressponsible.

Why? To start problems for me from pissy maintainers when I need help with something?

I got a single class that supported new hardware written for a controller. They said they don’t want the overhead of maintaining an additional class for new hardware (a class that doesn’t change ever btw). I thought whatever, works for me, doesn’t need to be on the repo and “I got mine”. I have since seen 3 people asking if the hardware is supported / asking for it to be implemented. Oh well.

Buttforce of power

I use Night Owl. It has a setting for time, but not battery level. You can set it between 0 - 100%, but 100 isn’t “completely black”. It defaults the brightness to minimum for the phone when it is on and goes further.

Get the weekly version of freecad, it’s like a month or two away from full release and changes a lot. As in gets rid of a ton of frustrations.

What you are missing here is a guy diagnosing people online by their interactions with him and insulting them.

Yeah, hence me mentioning the arcane code nobody knows what it does.

Nah. It should be obvious by just looking at it in code. If it isn’t, you haven’t extracted single purpose methods out of it yet.

How bad programmers comment their code. Good programmers don’t comment at all and let the code speak for itself, leaving commenting to some obscure and arcane implementation the coder left in after a week long binge on caffeine and gummy bears.

So what you are saying is “I don’t care about the points you raised” essentially. I said specifically “hoops that don’t exist with gas cars” not “gas cars don’t have hoops to jump through”. Electric cars have issues with trips longer than their range, which you then need to charge for a very long time compared to just refueling the gas car.

Okay, but it is still jumping through hoops which doesn’t exist with gas cars. What if I have 3 people driving, like in a road trip? You can’t continuously drive after refueling anymore. It isn’t just a perception thing, it absolutely requires planning and stops you wouldn’t take otherwise.

About as badly as lemmy has been coopted by tankies

I was the guy that was called a nazi pole in that thread. I posted multiple links to counter the “bloodless invasion” bullcrap which they completely ignored to call me a racist nazi. No response to Katyn for instance. Total stonewalling, like they were having their own conversation that didn’t include me.

Oh fuck off with your revisioning of history.

A heat gun is enough to melt through plastic, there is no need for higher temperatures. You can do it with a hairdryer.

Seeing as you can do the exact same thing with a hairdryer, it’s inventing a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

Ah yes, the same 20mln people who looted the country to shit afterwards, killed an uncountable amount of Poles. Good thing that you mention me “equating bad pootin with gud USSR which totally wasn’t a shithole”. Last I checked, the invasion happened in 39’ when Russia literally allied with the Nazis to partition Poland. Last I checked, Katyn happened in 1940 in the “totally not a shithole” USSR. But maybe that’s history revisionism and the soviets were the best people around, totally not an invading nation that killed, raped and looted.

Ah yes the tankie forgetting about Katyn in their assessment and countless other massacres. You heard it here folks, the war in Gaza is bloodless. So many nazis we need a denazification special military operation, huh?
