It’s because Republicans are skewing the numbers. 84% of Democrats and 73% of Independents understand the Supreme Court is a joke.

Lol “well what do I know about shifting?”

Pretty sure Chipotle is owned by McDonalds.

It is not. McDonald’s was an early investor but hasn’t been for a long long time (almost 20 years now), but the idea has stuck around.

Maybe this makes me old, but I much prefer a written document explaining how an API works over Swagger.

That’s what I don’t understand either. It can’t just be about money at that point right? Like they must intentionally be trying to bring back slavery or something.

Seriously. This image convinced me hell is real and I’m going there for having seen it.

Same. Especially since I’ve been building EDWs for most of my career. People are always surprised that it actually takes time to integrate with different systems.

“What do you mean you can’t just pull all the data out of this system that we don’t have database access to and are still building out the APIs?”

I kid… The people asking for stuff don’t know what backend databases and APIs are.

That would have been fine for me too. I don’t own the API, so I can only speak from a consumer perspective in saying: I don’t want a HTTP 200 if my request didn’t succeed.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe ecstacy is actually dehydrating. Dancing at a rave for hours on end without drinking anything is though.

That’s what has always stumped me. They do realize that trans men look like… men. Right? Like, they want some dude to just stroll into the women’s bathroom? Like, legally want that dude to be forced to stroll into that women’s bathroom?!?

The dude doesn’t want to be in there. Women don’t want the dude to be in there. Why do these politicians want the dude to be in there?!

I got pulled into a meeting with a team from AWS. I was told they were looking to implement a new solution, so I had to explain in detail how our data lake and data warehouse solution worked. I showed them how we pull data from all these different sources, how we have different integration patterns, etc.

At the end of my presentation, I asked “does that give you what you guys need? Or do I need to go into any more detail about anything specific? I don’t know what you all are actually building, so I’d be happy to provide more detail where you need it.”

Their response was “yeah that was all great info. We’re looking to build an app using AI and ML that allows you to run the business with a click of a button.”

I’m glad it was a remote meeting without cameras, because I literally face palmed. They didn’t have an actual use case or problem they were trying to solve. They were literally just selling a solution built on AI and ML. They didn’t know what it was gonna do, but by God they were committed to selling it.

Unfortunately, people tend to buy vehicles to best accomplish 1% of their driving. I live in the suburbs and almost every house has a giant pickup parked in front. Not because people are in the construction business and need to haul a lot of stuff, but because once a year they might go to Home Depot and it feels good to put their two bags of mulch in the back.

The key to XCOM is never to sprint (run with both halves of your action meter) if you can avoid it. Move with half the action, the fire or overwatch.

I enjoyed the XCOM-like parts, but couldn’t stand the running around, material gathering stuff. Just let me be super heroes non-stop battling bad guys, with a little bit of room between fights for upgrades. I don’t want to go fishing with Blade.

I recently started a new Stardew playthrough after leaving it for a couple years. Damn that game is so good. It’s like a perfect little dose of relaxation.

I’m about to leave town for the weekend so missing out on most of the new patch. Hope you dispense some liberty on my behalf!

The problem I ran into was the response returned a JSON body, but then had an “error” attribute that was returned in it that had the error details. So we were parsing the JSON and loading elements into our database. We were hitting the API passing in a datetime of when the last success job was run, so basically saying “give me everything that’s changed since I last called you.”

So yeah, eventually we noticed we were missing small chunks of data. It turned out that every time the API errored out, we’d get a valid JSON response that contained the error message, but it didn’t have the attributes we were looking for. So didn’t load anything, but updated our timestamp to say when our last successful call was.

Huge pain in the ass to troubleshoot, because the missing data was scattered with no distinguiable pattern.

I would destroy my television and burn the house down before I yell McDonald’s to keep watching something.
