I’m scared to ask, but is there context to this?

The guy who has to pick them up is livid, I’m sure.

A more serious answer - it depends greatly on where I’m working and what we’re doing.

I’ve worked in places where we’d receive outsource work. Usually we’d get fairly detailed instructions about what to do and what to avoid, that were discussed between our PMs/architects and the client, including tests for example that were agreed upon. You were supposed to follow those to the letter, but the most important part was that you needed to deliver quickly because the customer wanted to keep costs to a minimum. “Useless questions” (from their perspective) were seriously frowned upon, so if it wasn’t specified, the expected approach was to do whatever was quicker.

This occasionally lead to situations where their QC/UATs would identify issues with their business rules, but as long as it was compliant with the requirements we received, it would then come back to be changed (at additional cost, depending on how big the change needed to be).

Once accepted though, job done, grab your next work item and move on. Months later they could run into a situation like the one in the printer and come back asking for a fix, but very likely that would go into the CR bucket and a quote would be provided.

Of course if you’re working for a company that actually cares about what they’re building, the philosophy is completely different. If I’m working on our products, then I build a good understanding of what I’m working on, and I’m expected to flag any concerns or issues I encounter even before it reaches QC.

That said, I’ve never heard of a developer ever being criminally charged other than intentional misconduct - like, in the world. Look at the IBM Queensland Health payroll system fiasco, I’m not sure anyone was even fired, let alone prosecuted.

Or even the Boeing 737-MAX crashes - how do you build a system that pitches the nose down repeatedly, without limitations? Those guys who worked on the MCAS software would 100% have considered a scenario where an angle-of-attack sensor would provide bad data, and the consequences of repeated trim, but alas - 2 planes crashed, 350 people died, and what are the consequences? Some payouts…

Look around you, you’ll find “unrestricted fields in a public-facing app” (from a practical perspective) everywhere. Shrek’s script has what, less than 50k characters? That’s nothing, you can fit that in a Facebook post and still have more than enough to write a full movie review.

Where this would likely raise flags is when somebody decided that it needs to be printed, but that could be a different team, maybe outsourced, maybe after the main app was developed, maybe it’s just some “plug-and-play” system that also handles bulk printing jobs, who knows.

100% accurate, though vibe coding is optional.

If I have a set of requirements that don’t mention any type of restriction, then I won’t arbitrarily add one - as far as I know, I could be breaking intended functionality. If I’m invested in this, I’ll add it to the list of stuff that needs clarification, otherwise it’s gonna ship as specified, and eventually someone’s gonna file a change request.

It’s like they could create a socialist party, so that America actually has at least one left-leaning party.

No, the mainline Democratic party is nowhere near being left wing.

He’s much better at communicating and dealing with the present day republican tactics than most in the party, but we know that, at heart, they all have corporate greed as their master.

The first two are the most definite reason I’ve killed a lot of plants.

A friend came over and nearly screamed “you should be watering these every 2 WEEKS NOT 2 DAYS!!”.

But what do you mean that 5m from a window is “too dark”? I can see fine…

What OS is this? Don’t recognise that daemon, nor a tool called ance, but I can get behind the chown alias.

Piano players are not expected to carry their piano. Cellists be dragging that thing through a crowded subway train :(

I heard from my dad that back in the day some butchers used to pass it off as some cuts of beef. It’s not like they couldn’t sell horse meat, since it’s legal (there’s some health requirements) but beef is supposed to be more tender and tasty, thus more expensive.

It’s just not a particularly desired type of meat, so you don’t see it often at butchers nowadays.

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

Clearly the grain of sand who in time will be ground down and melted to form part of the core processing unit of the terminator.

As the spider-sloth plummets faster and faster into the hard ground below, it suddenly remembers its mother’s words long ago:

“Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyooooo…” * splat *

To be fair, they’re very good at not falling from trees.

Boy half is somewhat accurate, but usually it’ll be some other friend in the conversation who’ll jump in with some stupid remark like “what you guys homo now”, and the rest will join in and laugh.

Having learned their lesson, they’ll know not to compliment another boy again, and to mock others if they do it.

It spreads like a cancer, really.

What’s on your bedside table?

The other day I was looking at a guy who made a “cheap build!” for his homelab, to play with around AI models. The guy had 4 (FOUR!) 4090s with a 2kW+ PSU in some run of the mill case.

I have a 1Gb Pi 4B that hosts my critical network infrastructure (DHCP, DNS, cloudflared), a 20 year old laptop that I brought back to life with an SSD and some cheap RAM for mostly everything else, and the only thing I splurged a bit was a NAS with 2 drives for proper RAID, for the family photos and docs.

But I started with the cheap Pi, and built up from there. Don’t start from the top :)

Wait what’s arcane? Like portainer, but good?
