Someone just asked me how my day was in another server, and this was my response. Reposting here since I thought it would make for copy pasta

People that say that you shouldn't leave the freezer door open because it will overload the motor are full of shit The real reason you shouldn't leave the freezer door open is that the freezer quickly develops icy layers, overwhelming all your cardboard boxes, and then you can't close the top-of-the-fridge-freezer-door because it ices over where the door is supposed to close

And then you have to de-ice the freezer by hammering it around with a can of skinless frankfurters, which you keep around just for emergencies.

Just tried to plug a USB type C adapter into my ear because I forgot I had taken off my headset, and wanted to charge said, no longer on my head, headset while it was in use

My buddy who works at Verizon has to call overseas tech support sometimes and in the past weeks, they stopped having Indian accents. Turns out, Verizon's using AI to remove the Indian accent because people find Indians so untrustworthy that customers immediately hang up on them. So... good luck with incoming Indian scammers with American accents.

You can still tell because of the phrasing they use and adherence to the script

I think retail has conditioned people to abuse the systems, which is why you want *some* friction But I feel like none of this really needs to exist anymore, and if it does your business is likely confusing/exploititve on-purpose

@SyrenBell thank you for the new status. My phone decided it was so important that I got a push notification for it, being one of the first things I saw this morning

Spooky minor tech rant, since I'm not going to reinvent how the entire world works Why don't more things run just-in-time? Mostly talking about the applications layer

There is absolutely no reason any application needs to suck down the insane level of resources when idle, beyond heavy media cacheing which itself should just be architected better

Even when they're wholly separate things, like browser extensions, they just sit there spun-up waiting for their once-monthly use And that's just something fully exposed and declaratively wasteful, under the hood there are module after module that are constantly loaded but never actually DO anything
Spooky Phijkchu vent
I just don't know why this is so uncommon, I feel like you have internal workers/watchdogs anyway and you definitely have the ability to restart these subroutines/submodules on a whim anyway, so why not invoke them at-activation, it's not like the imperceptible increase to execution time will be a negative, compared to having a bloated unresponsive app like 99% of things are nowadays
Spooky Phijkchu vent
ig, part of me assumes it really is as simple as people are min-maxing load times above all else, and don't care if their app is crashing and a complete piece of shit while using it normally
Spooky Phijkchu vent
I'd sort of guess bad coders would do it accidentally, since everything they'd do would be segmented already to keep cascading failures isolated within a big codebase
Pyrrhic vent
I've got so much bird shit on the INside of my glass sliding door, so I can't just hose it off (and no, I've never owned a bird).
