Oh my god.

All my life I‘ve been paranoid about accidentally putting the wrong fuel in my cars and it turns out THAT’S NOT EVEN POSSIBLE ANYMORE because they made the diesel nozzles bigger, so they won’t fit

Why do anxieties inherited from my dad not update themselves 🙃🙃🙃

@fasterthanlime right! And don't forget to do an incident review after the fact, do some root cause analysis, and be kind to all present by reminding everyone of the Prime Directive:

"Regardless of what we discover, we understand and truly believe that everyone did the best job they could, given what they knew at the time, their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand."

@fasterthanlime If it's dumb, but it works, it's not dumb!

This is also the only way (panicking) to get information out of a rust const context (no printing).

(btw I talked about it in the second half of this cry for help video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voRBS0r4EyI

The electric company cut the power twice today, so now I have a UPS!

The amount of things that "might throw off a production" keeps growing lol

@fasterthanlime oof bad luck.
I wonder if totally remote editing would be pleasant using a powerful cloud machine and a GPU-accelerated client/server system designed for gaming like https://parsec.app
(which I have played many-a lan party from my laptop using)

@fasterthanlime (another reason I'm relieved my whole production can run on a raspberry pi from a solar panel 😅 )

I've been learning a lot of new software lately and amidst the frustration there's a lot of trying something logical and going "ooooh they thought of that, that's so neat!"

Going back to Google products though, there's none of those moments. None at all.

@fasterthanlime You can't even find and replace across multiple documents - such basic functionality missing. 🙄

GOD YES everyone in charge of a database anywhere should read this:

(edit: There's a bit of casual transphobia in this article that can go fuck itself, the rest of the article is okay I guess)

@fasterthanlime narrows eyes yeah, I didn't like that transphobic language either - but given the context, I'm going to hope it's just a language/translation/understanding issue 😕

How is your day going?

I'm once again trying to reach the French government to let them know that, when calculating taxes, they forgot to account for 30K€ I already paid.

For the second year in a row.

Since they end up taking ~55%, I'd rather they get the numbers right...

@fasterthanlime if it makes you feel better, you could probably sue the bullshit race-to-the-bottom cut-price agency that built the shitty site - on BEHALF of the French government 😄

The fact that this tool shows you not just the hour, but the day the task will finish on, is... ominous.

Am on the go, left some work at home, remembered that 1) my home computer is on tailscale, 2) git can pull over SSH

(I would've pushed from an SSH session, but agent forwarding is broken in some way I can't debug)

@fasterthanlime this is such an underrated feature of git!

Years ago, we had an internet outage at work, and I just enabled ssh on my pc, and BAM, I am the server now. 🎉

@fasterthanlime oh, related, do you use/know about https://mosh.org ?

You'll never need it till you do! 😁

@fasterthanlime ha!
Love mosh for underground use here in London - there's often bytes to be had in two or three places between stations, you just gotta find'em 🔍

I have a MIDI keyboard and Ableton open and my cat and I are playing a game of "find what setting my paw toggled"

I'm losing, btw

@fasterthanlime ah yes, Kitty-Driven Composition. A time-honoured technique!
