At that point they’re not even licking the boot. The boot was telling them to chill.

KEVIN!!

His spending 45 million is the equivalent of someone with a net worth of 500,000 spending 75 dollars. It’s nothing to him.

My assumption is the first poster is a reference to this classic song from the musical, “The sound of music.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do-Re-Mi (“Doe, a deer, a female deer”)

Except now he’s appointed her to be “special envoy to the shield of the America’s” whatever the fuck that’s supposed to be.

I’ve met people from South America (Brazil specifically) that take great offense at being referred to as Hispanic and insist that they are in fact Latino.

This was also a long time ago

I ate an entire bag of lemon warheads on the ride back from a band competition in highschool.

Teenage me would absolutely do it again (and probably did). Not so sure about middle aged me now though…

Pretty sure that was dhh, the creator of rails being told he didn’t have enough experience in rails. I tried to find it, I found references to it, but the original was in Twitter.

This is what I came here to post. Bonus for it being in a dead language (Gaulish).

Well… He does have an island of his own, doesn’t he?

Back when I was in college I took a computer engineering class around 2010 I think with a professor who had done CPU design at one of the big chip manufacturers. He had a story about how no human knows how they work anymore because they’ll do the designs, then feed them through some optimization algorithm thing before the fabrication. Then when they would evaluate the chip they’d find that it was behaving in completely unexpected ways due to the optimization finding crazy efficient but unintuitive (to a human) ways of performing different operations.

I wish I could remember the details of what he talked about better, but that was a long time ago.

Your comment made me curious, so I tracked it down. The “comic” was used with an article on differential privacy written by a publication called “ad exchanger” and the ad symbol on the outfit is their logo.

My last car was a civic si. It was a great car.

If you’re not already familiar, the owner of the DNA lounge is Jamie Zawinski.

I had to look it up too.

So that’s what people mean when they say “kill them with kindness.”

Doesn’t have my favorite classic, I’ll have to add it later.

One of the requirements for bourbon is the mash must be at least 51% corn.

There are a couple that come to mind.

Definitely the worst, a C# .net mvc application with multiple controllers that were 10s of thousands of lines long. I ran sonarqube on this at one point and it reported over 70% code duplication.

This code base actively ignored features in the framework that would have made things easier and instead opted to do things in ways that were both worse, and harder to do. For example, all SQL queries were done using antiquated methods that, as an added benefit, also made them all injectable.

Reading the code itself was like looking at old school PHP, but c#. I know that statement probably doesn’t make sense, but neither did the code.

Lastly, there was no auth on any of the endpoints. None. There was a login, but you could supply whatever data you wanted on any call and the system would just accept it.

At the time I was running an internal penetration test team and this app was from a recent acquisition. After two weeks I had to tell my team to stop testing so we could just write up what we had already and schedule another test a couple months down the line.
