The biggest pain in the ass I’ve dealt with was using a directshow lib to implement flash on a new camera we were supporting for a desktop application. Working with a device graph and pins is beyond frustrating. We’re porting functionality to the Web and my dev working on the camera just needed to call capture image to trigger the flash.

For me it’s like, you have a lot of stuff to do but you could play sudoku first. 3 sudoku games later, Ok let’s get started. I should get a drink first. Let me play another game of sadoku to resettle my mind. Ok let’s get started. Ok reading my email, let’s craft a response. Wife comes in and asks me to watch the kid for a min. Ok back to work, but let me check on my idle game real quick. 45 mins later.ok let’s get started, on that email response I have 5 mins before a meeting I scheduled perfect. 10 mins later, sorry I’m late got caught up on something. Let’s look into this random issue someone is having they brought up in the last meeting I have 20 mins before my next meeting perfect. 35 mins later I join meeting. 2 hours left in the day let’s work on what I needed to do. Normal time off comes up wife starts asking me when I’ll be done every 10 mins for the next hour.
.net can run on Linux now
I started my career in Java and transitioned to c# a few years in and c# is much better imo, especially now that .Net can be run in Linux.
I run a team for a large project (13 deployable components apis/ Windows services/ desktop applications/ websites/mobile) that has mix of vb.net/c# .net framework 4.8 and .net 6 soon to be 8 with angular for Web and wpf for desktop. Slowly but surely working to kill off our legacy code and consolidate.
Some of the older vb code (that existed long before I joined the project let alone became the lead dev) is so bad that a bug fix for nhibernate that stopped silently failing and began throwing exceptions breaks everything if we try to update to a later version. it’s such a tangled mess and I’m probably the only one on my team that could unfuck it(but I didn’t have the time to do it) it’s not even worth fixing even though our version of nhibernate has a CVE with rating of 9/10 (we don’t actually use anything that is affected from the finding thankfully) and are just biding our time till we kill off the offending apps.
Ohh and I have a new PM that isn’t technical and likes to email me his chat GPT queries and results about technical things.

Craziest identity situation I was told by a project manager of government system that is all about identities. Same First, Same last,same Date of Birth, same SSN; different people.

Not that I’m batting an eye at the CEO being killed. If this guy is the shooter, we don’t know his true motivations. Maybe the leaked document is accurate, maybe not. Maybe he truly believes what’s in to doc maybe not. Maybe he has another manifesto song how he wants to kill the days or Jews(not saying he does) but let’s get some more info before delaying this guy a hero for the lower classes.

Zannsolo@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the greatest videogame of all time?141·7 months agoIt doesn’t hold up but while it was happening I don’t think there was a better gaming experience than Vanilla WoW. Obviously for some it wasn’t the first MMO experience, but for many it was, and it was pure magic.
The random friends made, and mortal enemies you would drop everything you were doing to try and kill. Spending 6 hours clearing a dungeon(read wailing caverns) for the first time with random people you met in chat. Getting your first mount, walking into molten core with 39 other people and killing your first raid boss. Getting your first epic. The stupidity of barrens chat/whatever the equivalent the scumbag alliance had. The first time you had guild mates come to your rescue when some no-life higher level person was camping you and it devolving into an impromptu war between everyone in the zone and their friends. That time you pulled off an epic 1 v 2. Shit talking all the other classes in your guilds class chat during raids.
The drama ohh the drama, the e-gf/bf that became peoples husbands and wives, the guild leaders wife e-humping half the guild. Relationships destroyed because someone would rather spend their time in azeroth that just about anything else.
Drooling over the gear the best players on the server had. Battling on the front lines of alterac valley all night, going to bed and rejoining the same battle, sometimes to cheers from your fellow soldiers that you had rejoined the fight.
I don’t think there will ever be anything like it again, we know too much, have access to to much info, but for that brief period in time wow was the greatest game ever.
Zannsolo@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•NZXT responds to damning Gamers Nexus video accusing it of running a "predatory, evil" rental scamEnglish12·7 months agoThat’s a shame, I bought a nzxt computer in 2018 because it was slightly cheaper than building it part for part. Mainly due to the gfx card being way cheaper than I could get it. The crypto boom was driving gfx card prices through the roof at that time. Still runs like a champ and I love my nzxt case. Major bummer they are doing shady shit now.
I did, that’s scarier than shitty sensors
I thought it was roads made for self driving cars
