"Just fucking send it" - that guy

parking inspector?

I'm just a c# dev wishing to fuck we had something visual to indicate reference types so my coworkers could stop misusing them

you want to jail everyone who drives an SUV for life?

i mean i fucking hate SUVs and melbourne is absolutely filthy with them - i absolutely think they should have a tax penalty to discourage anyone living there from owning them needlessly, but still - if this is some older farmer who had an unexpected minor stroke and has to wake up to the news he's killed five people, i'm not going to be standing in the fucking hospital berating him about his choice of car and trying to make him feel like a murderer. that's absolutely fucking awful.

have some opinions on sensible car regulation, sure, but this is gross. wait until you know what happened before calling for blood for owning a type of car or some shit.

he was sober and apparently unconscious? afaik he hasn't been interviewed yet while he gets medical treatment.

I mean if he did it on purpose, sure, but dude you have zero idea - it is entirely possible this is a medical event he had no control over, and he now has to live with being the driver in this awful situation.

can't you just care about the people affected without immediately wanting some completely uninformed revenge?

great episode. I honestly think of it often.

I did that once when I moved from one DB IDE to another and didn't realise the new one only ran the highlighted part of the query.

there were thousands of medical students going through a long process to find placements with doctors and we had a database and custom state machine to move them through the stages of application and approval.

a bug meant a student had been moved to the wrong state. so I used a snippet of SQL to reset that one student, and as a nervous habit highlighted parts of the query as I reread them to be sure it was correct.

then hit run with the first half highlighted, without the where clause, so everyone in the entire database got moved to the wrong fucking state.

we had 24 hourly backups but I did it late in the evening, and because it was a couple of days before the hard deadline for the students to get their placements done hundreds of students had been updating information that day.

I spent until 4am the next day working out ways to imply what state everyone was in by which other fields had been updated to what, and incidentally found the original bug in the process 😒

anyway, I hope you feel better soon buddy. it sucks but it happens, and not just to you. good luck.

I played it cool for an entire uber ride home at 7am and walked inside feeling like I'd totally gotten away with it.

Went to brush my teeth, looked in the mirror and and remembered there was a facepainter at the event and I looked like Ziggy Stardust.

I'd rather like it if they train it on stuff I say. I want the AI of tomorrow to reflect my thoughts.

seriously I would much prefer gold tier journalism and news sites let it crawl so when people use it to make choices in the future they're guided to better choices.

it is honestly so hard to know what will happen though, it's so complicated it's virtually guaranteed we're not correctly anticipating the consequences of any of this. I'm not really even talking about the AI, I'm talking about the effects on society which are a lot more complex.
