Hurl is a language based on exception handling. It’s a real shame that it isn’t tail recursive though.

What if perpetually mending what is perpetually broken is the job of this work, and also this life?

@anthrocypher The fallacy at work here is: because programming languages are finite and simple, the behavior of programs must be finite and predictable.

The nauseating smell, followed by vomiting is just a feature of shit sandwiches

One of my smoke alarms went off at 5am. I got up and checked around, no smoke smell and the other alarm was chill. There's a button to stop the alarm but it would start up again in a minute. I was on the verge of flipping the other switch that permanently disables it when it stopped. Guess it sensed my murderous intent.

@jef This happened to me a while back. When I inspected the alarm, a spider crawled out of it. A couple of internets later, I learned that spiders can, in fact, set off fire alarms.

The biggest upside to my version of Pascal’s Wager is that if I’m wrong, I still won’t have to spend eternity w/ smug xians.

How many days do you think before Google kills the udm=14 trick? I'm guessing it won't survive Memorial Day.

@middleclasstool The only reason it has lived this long is that killing it would be a backward incompatible change which breaks something revenue-generating.

Why are they called "skylights" and not "raindrums?"

True story: One time, my employer’s data center was nearly burned down by a machine designed to calculate more digits of a single physical constant. The machine was designed by a man named Christ, and built by his disciples.

It’s like I was in a Darren Aronofsky film briefly.

jimfl,
@jimfl@hachyderm.io avatar

I walked into the data center, and immediately asked the operators near the door “what’s that smell?”

“What smell?”

jimfl,
@jimfl@hachyderm.io avatar

Happily, the machine was water cooled, the fire burned through one of the plastic lines, and extinguished itself.

I imagine the operators would have noticed a Halon dump.

Somewhere, in a war room deep within the Redmond campus…

“Okay, stop. Let’s look at our options again. We can’t admit publicly that the Recall feature wasn’t conceived, developed, or released into our flagship product by any recognized business unit within the company….”

@lkngrrr The crazy shit is coming from inside the campus

Another possible explanation is that MSFT and GOOG haven’t yet figured out that a lot of online tech conversation has left the platforms they have been monitoring for product feedback.
