  • So are they protesting them because immigration at the current conditions is causing issues? Or is it just the usual, “I hate their culture” rhetoric? It seems like the latter, and that’s something immigration policies will never look at, so seems a pointless protest.

    But the rhetoric worked in the US and now their cripplingly low unemployment rate is getting even lower, offset by businesses shutting down. While the Presidents plans for a boost to domestic manufacturing is short by about 50 million people because they were just never there to begin with.

    Actually, this also seems like a kind of Britain thing to do, to be honest.

    Friend’s colleague needed Excel to, “return the month where the majority of days in the week fall into”. Had Copilot do it and sent it to my friend, apparently impressed by making such a robust looking formula.

    The formula:

    My friend’s solution a minute later:

    I can see it could be slimmed even less, but I assume the table is large so LET is doing performance stuff.





  • Have you considered some kids weren’t interested in video games?

    Have you considered some kids were blind?

    Have you considered some kids are dead now?

    Have you considered some kids weren’t allowed games?

    Apparently my TV has normalisation, but it doesn’t seem to do much. There is a setting that boosts dialogue, but it’s jarring enough that being the fastest remote in the West still comes out on top.

    Maybe I can do something with the spare Pi…

    This is another fine example of where assumptions get you no where on the internet. My job isn’t coding but it requires knowing to do it well. If I exit the job market, as per your request, I cannot be replaced by a coder. Believe it or not, most jobs that require a coding skillset are not about coding. Crazy, right? 😲




  • I have the confidence level turned down too but lately it doubles down on itself.

    The usual conversation…

    VI: “You could do this.”
    Me: “That won’t work because XYZ.”
    VI: “No, you can definitely do that. XYZ has nothing to do with it.”
    Me: pastes it’s own suggestion in.
    VI: “Almost, but that won’t work because of XYZ.”

    It’s most notorious one is adding an s to Table.AddColumn() then proceeding to make a full snippet around this newly made up function. This specific example is so regular it’s become a joke at work for giving someone an unhelp response,

    “What do you want to do for lunch today?”

    “Have you tried table add columns?”
