Ah, I see mom’s PC updated and it’s trying to print with the fucking “OneNote XPS” virtual printer again.
Also I see the “OneNote XPS” printer I manually remove every month is back again.

Something about freedom or the economy or some tripe like that, I guess.
The question as asked: you can do it anywhere. Right here. In worldnews. Lemmyshitpost. Gardening. Whatever.
But I think you’re asking: where can I say whatever I want without consequences?
And that’s harder. Because if you have the right to subject other people to your opinions, that gives them the right to subject you to their opinions.
If you want to avoid being banned, create your own community. If you want to avoid your community being nuked by admins, create your own Lemmy instance. If you want a safe space for yourself, free from criticism about what you say, don’t federate your instance. You will be safe and able to howl into the wind without anyone troubling you.
Lester (the croc) on a molester.
I found code that calculated a single column in an HTML table. It was “last record created on”.
The algorithm was basically:
foreach account group
foreach account in each account group
foreach record in account.records
if record.date > maxdate
max = maxdate
It basically loaded every database record (the basic unit of record in this DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM) to find the newest one.
Customers couldn’t understand why the page took a minute to load.
It was easily replaced with a SQL query to get the max and it dropped down to a few ms.
The code was so hilariously stupid I left it commented out in the code so future developers could understand who built what they are maintaining.
“So what was the problem in the end?”
“Man, I don’t fucking know.”

How do you like the acoustics in that bucket?
I wonder what they spent paying people to implement and communicate this change.
At 600k for a company that size this cost them more money than just paying the extra 4 cents.
It’s like when they say “we have apps for your phone” when they mean “we have an app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store”.
I’m sitting here clutching my Nokia Lumia 640 yelling at them.
I’m not sure if it automatically does the metadata lookup or if it just reads embedded metadata from the epubs I’ve downloaded. It for sure does a poor job of setting up the series name and book number fields if you read a lot of series.
I use a combination of calibre-web-automated for metadata management and calibre-web-automated-book-downloader for downloading from Anna’s Archive. Book read progress and status is synced from my Kobo.
It works really well but you need to manually request books one at a time. The readarr feature I miss was the ability to subscribe to a GoodReads list.

Coquitlam, British Columbia? No they don’t. That has literally never happened. Not even once.
