@foone yes. Just.... Yes.

Like, I've literally done this manually before, by going through the source code for both gimp and krita to figure out how they did specific things that I tried.

It takes hours, because of course it does!

@foone while calling it an image editor is quite a stretch, MATLAB totally does this. Be careful what you wish for though, the code it autogenerates is... not what a human would write, to put it mildly.

@foone BDD? Bitching driven development? Whatever the user bitches about the most we do

(I did google it and now I know what it means)

@foone I was part of an upgrade project where program parts written in C was moved to Java. The DB layer of the program used two columns VARCHAR(n) for text - one as-is, and one in upper case for indices; both with the same n. The client truncated the string.
The upgrade was a long project and tested extensively, but on the day of the go live the DB connection suddenly hang.
Reason: Java did The Right Thing and converted ß → SS, and the DB interface didn't deal well with too long strings.

@foone That was actually the cause of a bug I spent way too long time finding. 😂 I even wrote a blog post about it.

@foone oh? why is that?

No “ambient” light so that only the scanner’s light is the source?

@sannemen It's just a joke on how you learn to disassemble and reassemble your gun in the military, to the point where you can do it in the dark.

I have to change label rolls so fucking often

@foone Is that one of those things you walk up to and it says "Please wear a mask"

@foone I'm guessing it was a pandemic "fever detection" cash grab and they could charge whatever they wanted for it so faster > cheaper.

I looked at similar units for my employer and they were asking between 500-1500 for them.

We passed and bought a cheap forehead thermometer instead.

@foone Run Swiftshader on a Xeon or EPYC and you can get a feel for how well it'd work, probably. It'd be right to an order of magnitude.

@foone You may be underestimating how weird the diesel part is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBART extends an existing BART line with 9.1 miles of track, using diesel trains and standard gauge track. It has just a transfer station and two new stations. This was not existing track or anything, it was built specifically to extend an existing line, because it's apparently cheaper than electrifying a 9 mile extension?

Want to go from "Pitsburg / Bay Point" to "Pitsburg Center"? One stop, but change train.

@foone Are you asking about the Antioch line, or some other new stuff? The original BART lines are third-rail electric, which is why they can't have any at-grade crossings. Unless something has seriously changed in the dozen years I've been away.
