I thought it was established that in the context of this meme and the comment above mine, numbers were represented by toilet paper as an analogy. If that's not the case, then I don't get the meme at all.

NaN would be something that isn't toilet paper. So I'm gonna say a picture of a whole rotisserie chicken on the toilet paper bar.

I didn't even know this type of this existed until somewhat recently. I usually write my own systemd files to host containers with podman and manage them with systemd.

So your backed up data can be as old as a couple of months and requires manual interaction? I guess that's better than nothing, but I'm looking for something more automated. I'm not sure what my options are for cloud storage or if they are safe from deletion. Or if having it in a closet in a friends house is really the best option.

Where do you keep your off-site one? Like a friend or family member's house?

When I was in college and learning programming, I believed that anything could be programmed. Anything was possible if you were good enough at programming. Then I joined the industry and learned just how stupid requests from product managers are.

My favorite, and I have told this story dozens of times on the internet: we just got our first test board back from the manufacturer. It was our first product with a 64 bit processor. We get called into a meeting because the product manager read an article on the internet about how 64 bit processors can reduce battery life. Without any further info about under what conditions, if our use case meets those conditions, and by how much battery life could be reduced, the product manager asked me to write some code to emulate a 32 bit CPU on the 64 bit CPU so we aren't affected by this battery life issue. Ignoring the fact that I am a Java developer that writes appcode and have no fucking clue about anything this close to the hardware, even if we did successfully emulate a 32 bit processor, there's absolutely no guarantee that it would actually fix the issue, because at the end of the day, the hardware is physically a 64 bit processor, and since I didn't read the article he was talking about, I have no clue what about the 64 bit processor might cause what was described. It could be something inherently about the hardware, I have no clue. I wouldn't even be surprised if it was just a clickbait article and only in very specific situations your battery life could be reduced by 0.1%. Anyway, I told him I was pretty sure that was impossible, but I'm far from an expert in this field. He told me to do some research on it. So I played with my phone for the rest of the day and in the follow up meeting the next day, I told him I did a ton of research and that it was impossible.

Yeah, I guess that's fair. I was a team lead for only like 2 weeks before my project was canceled, and yeah, I remember it being similar. I'm not sure I wrote a single line of code during those 2 weeks, though. I was too busy. Or maybe I did and I don't remember, but since the project was canceled, it never came back to haunt me.

Maybe I just haven't worked at a company long enough for this to happen, but I tend to remember what I previously worked on very well. I am still disgusted by the code I wrote sometimes. But that just means I'm learning and getting better at coding.

As a link aggregation site, I wish lemmy had the ability to let me hide links from specific domain names. Like, any clickbait or ragebait "news" sites could get added to my personal list so I don't have to see them anymore.

Oh I'm sure. But knowing that doesn't make me any less self conscious about it.

I have a private repo on GitHub that is private for this reason. I made it in a weekend for fun, and it's honestly so bad. I have spent way longer fixing dumb mistakes that I spent developing the main features in the first place. But I learned a lot while doing it (and fixing it), and my current project that I'm working on is much, MUCH better. I do have it in a public repo.
