We found our cat young and starving, being left alone outside.
But he was used to be outside and just locking him in would be cruel.
He mostly happily hides in a hole or some cellar around, when he is outside anyway.

We tried giving him a safety collar, but he was already like 6 months old, when we found him and wasn't used to one. So he always got rid of the safety ones and we were too afraid that he should strangulate himself with a non-safety one.
He is chipped. So I hope this is enough, when someone catches him.
But he is very shy with other people and it worked out for 13 years now I'm different areas of the city - sometimes, in his young and wild years, he was gone for 2-3 days, but he always came back happy and hungry :-)

Happens to everyone

Just having a multitude of terminals open with a mix of test environment and (just for comparison) an open connection to the production servers...

We were at a fair/exhibition once and on the first day people working on an actual customer project asked us, if they could compare with our code.
Obviously they flashed the wrong PLC and we were stuck dead at the first hours of the exhibition.
I still think that this place was cursed, as we also had to do multiple re-soldering of some connections of our robot and the sherry on top was the system flash dying - where I had fucked up, because I just finished everything late at night and didn't made a complete backup of everything.
But it seems, if luck runs out, you lose on all fronts.

At least I was able to restore everything in 20mins. Which must be some kind of record.
But I was shaking so much from the stress, that I couldn't efficiently type anymore and was lucky to have a colleague to just calmly enter what I told him to and with that we're able to get the show case up and running again.

Well, at least the beer afterwards tasted like the liquid of the gods

Would you give your perspective anyway, as I would be quite interested, although I'm not the one you talked to?

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 months ago

Yeah, if I test my software all is good as well. As soon as the customer does something, he finds bugs, because I didn't thought about that situation.

As the drug user in the end isn't qualified enough, they should exactly test like that and not just what they think is right

But maybe my analogy isn't completely working in that case...

What has Wikileaks to do with Snowden?

When I lost a loved cat in my youth, a friend wanted to help me out and brought a new young one.
I completely broke down and couldn't handle a new cat.

A half decade later a new cat showed up in my life by himself, and after a rough road with moving many times and staying for a year at my ex, he is since some years now happily at my place.

Take your time. What you valued emotionally has the right to be mourned by you

This is just sad
Out of options they tried for the irrational miracle

I once wanted to make a Qt application with QML capability on an industrial Windows CE device.

I only found one forum entry, where a Russian and a Chinese guy were discussing the issue, and I joined in. Google translate was a life saver.

But figuring out, that this specific Qt build somehow expected a hardcoded folder structure (fucking 20 folders deep with specific naming) during compilation...to this day I thank those two guys, having the same problem in the whole world

Never worked nightshifts?
The cleaning crew at the hotel on my last business trips are always extremely noisy. But I've just hit the bed after my shift, some breakfast and a beer.
Would be nice to at least once get 6 full hours of sleep...

Doing the thing I love as a job, just destroyed my hobby for me

Yeah, especially that it's just valid a year, sounds stupid.

If they would give us a lifetime of free transport with a little ad tattoo for public transport, I would be fine with it.
But a permanent tattoo for 1 year of using bus/train/bim doesn't sound really attractive or reasonable

More or less this was just an event to promote public transport stuff - and never was really about the tattoo, but it draws attention. So not needed that someone (or many) really does it

I'm not really sure, if they know what a VPN actually is
