Such poetry. It brings a tear to my eye

Weirdest UK experience for me was the electrical shower heater thingy. Still can’t wrap my head around that one. But it’s apparently not unique to the UK.

What kind of chips do you mean? French fries or Lays? If the latter, I doubt it. If the first, I doubt it. Salt and vinegar crisps on the other hand, are uniquely popular in the UK.

And my axe

Go on… *unzips

How are people using it wrong? How should it be used instead? We (I) cannot guess context…

Als een warm bad

Yo no hablar alemàn

Ja ech waar, ik maak geen gein

Ik versta daar dus allebij helemaal niks van. Wel leuk, zo’n internationale draad.

Not on Lemmy. Om Lemmy you’re 50% German, 50% American unless proven otherwise.

No, of course not. The complaint is having to work with outdated materials.

That makes you a well rounded person. Getting the full human experience. It’s not always fun, but it makes life more complete.

I was a stay-at-home dad while my wife was a high payed lawyer, or I had to care for my elderly mother while she was dying from ass cancer, or I was doing drugs but I’ve been clean for over a year now, or shut up that’s none of your business why are you even asking this shit for a job that requires no education or experience!?..

Yes sure, but not forwards compatible. That means if you need to fix a bug or add a feature in a project that is build on java 8, you cannot use language features from later versions. They are pretty important features at that, like a workable Http client, modules, container compatibility, records and enhanced switch statements. It is not fun to work like that, it’s what makes good programmers want to become chicken farmers.

Lol, that’s a shame. I should’ve put in more effort. Now it’s just a completely wasted minute.

Not beehaw, but I hope I’m welcome to share my weekly worries anyways…

I’ve been taking on a little more tasks at work this past half year, but it’s slowly starting to pour out of my agenda. This week is the start of another big task to add to my agenda in exchange for some other, “less important” tasks. It might be time to say “no” more, but I’m not very good at that. I wasn’t very good at asking for help either, but I’ve learned to do that more because I had to. So I hope I can also learn to say “no” more in these coming weeks. Specifically to those people who depended on me for those “less important” tasks.

Java is also a lot of fun in this regard. They’ve actually dropped support for java 8 about 2.5 years ago. But Oracle has added a “premium subscription” that gives companies another decade or so of extra support to delay updating their code even further. https://endoflife.date/oracle-jdk
