Heh. My first full-time job doing this was writing perl and java 1.2 on an NT 4 network for a porn startup whose core technology was completely fictional.

you're right. apple misses out on a lot of really good software by not standardizing on windows. now that they're basically just the iphone company there's an opportunity to sell off the faltering mac business and transition over to a superior pc platform. i'm certain that microsoft would offer very reasonable prices for an enterprise agreement covering windows, office, sql server, dynamics, and visual studio.

i can't tell if this is ironic or not

my first lovely programmer job was being a temp at a place optimizing sql queries to speed up crystal reports that were embedded in ASP 1.0 pages, which used COM objects for database access.

after 8 months the other lead devs left and I was the lead.

a bit afterwards half the company got sold off and i left because i didn't want to help with the transition because it was going to be a clusterfuck.

also my loving college was going to pay me more for research, with health benefits, and free tuition, so that sweetened the pot

also just really super loving impressed by quality of this rust code i'm looking at from this mit kid. it's written by someone who has barely graduated college but seem to understand rust better than i do, and the code is well organized and easy to deal with so far.

i mean, i shouldn't be that surprised but i guess i was expecting it to be more...well, terrible, and less professional.

this is also a not so subtle humblebrag about me keeping up with mit students.

I used Buildroot to create a container for a gigantic pile of poo poo python2 application our company has that uses a combination of:

- QT4
- MongoDB
- Socat
- 52 separate libraries, most of which are just "backport this to python2"

It took me 3 days to get it running on CentOS7.
It took me another week to clean out all the PEP8 warnings.
It took me another week to get it going in BuildRoot.

Why Buildroot? Because I don't want that poo poo spread out on my system. This is the first time I have used BuildRoot + Docker, and it works pretty well!

When you open a python file and it’s a sea of goddamn yellow all over the place, it’s incredibly loving annoying.

And yeah, of course I auto formatted, but a lot of poo poo needed to be hand fixed as well.

I nice big gently caress you to LG today.

idgi, they loaf off the Apache Cordova project, some wonderfully aspiring JavaScript framework for mobile devices, yet cannot be bothered to actually update their official packages to upstream versions even though WebOS is a primary supported platform. So yay lets have completely broken polyfills injected from random scripts for functions that LG themselves list as totally not supported on the hardware.

The security theatre with Smart TVs is starting to take the piss too, LG warns in their documentation that having an open SSH port is too dangerous! You have to login to a dev portal with an account confirmed by local sales staff, then install a dev-mode app, enable dev-mode, enable a CA server, share keys about, and then you have a time restricted access to the Chrome developer tools in the TV, but it actually only really works with Chrome < v53. After 10 hours rinse and repeat. For some reason the clock has to be correct to login too, otherwise it just yields "Error".

Also, for some reason having XHR access to third party sites is bad and blocked by default. In big red laters LG states that allowing API access is very bad (tm). I guess Corea didn't invent AWS?

Yikes.

Are you still thinking about contracting out some real time charting in JS and if so, have you thought about requirements and acceptance criteria?

It looks like Chrome 69 is my saviour for this, it adds 2D OffScreenCanvas support so you can draw as slow as you want in a WebWorker. So performance out of the window my main issue is getting Plotly to look a bit closer to what is currently shown on Fox TV, that's probably not too difficult just tedious. Then all the remaining work is in my court by setting up the plumbing for real time updates.

c j/tp s: we have a new analyst joining our team so my dbt pet project will actually be useful since following the best practices has me lay our data model out in small, easily comprehensible and naturally connected chunks.

it's nice so far - our dwh architect of course instantly scoffed at everything (macros? just type it out in script lol; variables and functions? pentaho does all that better; etc), but he can go sniff his rear end with negatory snark about learning new tech since that's a major component of my job duties and since he still, 9 months in, is absolutely baffled by and unable to perform such complex devops manipulations as "ssh into centos box and type htop to see ram use or cat a config file in known path to check the variables" (decade of professional it experience)
