Gmorning. This feeling will pass. This workload will pass. These people will pass. But look at you, with the gift of memory. You can time travel to the good stuff just by closing your eyes & breathing. Then come right back to now, eyes up for the good stuff ahead. You magic thing. Gnight. This moment will pass. This fatigue will pass. Tonight will pass. But look at you, with the gift of imagination. You can teleport to where you're happiest just by closing your eyes & breathing. Then come right back to now, check in with the present. You magic thing, you.

Bisection

I've encountered several otherwise-capable software developers who apparently don't know how to use bisection to locate regressions (=bugs that were introduced recently into a software project).

The basic idea is, you identify a (recent) commit A that exhibits the bug and another (older) commit B where the bug is not present. Then you pick a commit C about halfway between A and B and determine whether the bug is present there. If it is, you pick D between C and B and repeat the process. If not, you pick D between A and C.

In this way, by running a dozen or so tests, you can often identify a single commit from among thousands. It's an example of a "divide and conquer" strategy.

I spent a pleasant half hour today using bisection to locate a 3 year-old performance regression in one of my projects. Said project has 1427 commits. Back in 2022 I added code to check for OpenGL errors. For one particular workload, those changes cut the graphics frame rate by a factor of 4.

All I need now is a simple mechanism to bypass OpenGL error checking, one that won't cause me to forget that those checks are available!

Me when i had to do a student evaluation on my Intro to Gender and Women's Studies class and this is what i left in the comments-

The workload is not that of an intro class - it is GWS 100 but it feels like it is a 300 level class. She expects us to read three books on our own time as well as the textbook and do one to two quizzes a week as well as one to two (sometimes three) discussion posts that are at minimum 600 words long each (and respond to two other students with a minimum of 40 words each) and have an intense amount of reading (articles or pdfs)/video watching required to be able to answer the prompt to those discussion posts. It is as if she thinks this is the only class we have and therefore she can give us the workload to match. I enjoy coming to class but I dread the actual assignments.

Professors make your workload reasonable challenge failed horrifically.

Also i just wrote a 13 page paper for her and have another 8-10 page minimum paper due next Friday. Why does she think that having huge papers back to back is a good idea? Especially with the second one being OUR FINAL!?!?!?! I had to write a paper while home for Thanksgiving because she decided to make the paper due TWO DAYS AFTER THANKSGIVING!!!! I am losing my mind.

Are Some People Work-Shy?

Or Is Society Getting Lazier? Work should be valued, not avoided   There has been a lot of discussion in the News about work and some people’s reluctance to do any. Despite plenty of jobs being available, some are choosing not to work rather than settle for jobs that they believe to be beneath them. Picking and choosing seems to be the name of the game. However, this should not be at the…

Hundreds of years ago, people did not have to worry about paying membership fees, filing taxes, car insurance, utility bills, bank statements, home insurance, bank loans and mortgages, taking their kids to school or after school programs, etc and all of the other bullshit things that our society now pretends is normal. We've over complicated things for everyone, no one gets enough sleep, we are stressed out and Invented so many new convoluted ways to stress ourselves out. Peasants had a hard live but at least they didn't have to deal with the shear amount of shit that modern life has thrown at us.

Numbers 4:49 Assigned A Job

According to the commandment of the Lord they were numbered by the hand of Moses, each according to his service and according to his task; thus were they numbered by him, as the Lord commanded Moses. Numbers 4:49 Every job that any person works has some type of workload that must be carried. Depending on the job, some workloads are physical, while others are more mental. People are often…

A project to do

I sat for days

Just opening the laptop felt too heavy

The weight of it pulling me down

Shut it again and again

Take a break will do it tomorrow

But tomorrow never comes

And the guilt only grows

I��m not like this

Not the kind to run away

Last night I sat with the will to begin

Told myself at least I tried

But again I shut it

Not like sleep found me anyway

Morning comes and fear sets in

What if I never finish it

A task that should take an hour

Stretched into eight

Time slips through my hands

When I’m lost inside myself

The Hidden Costs of QuickBooks: What Small Businesses Need to Know

QuickBooks has long been a go-to solution for small businesses, but many users don’t realize the hidden costs that come with it. While it may seem like an affordable option upfront, limitations in functionality and the need for manual workarounds can lead to inefficiencies, increased workload, and unexpected expenses.

From restricted scalability to costly add-ons, businesses often find themselves spending more than anticipated. Understanding these financial risks is crucial for making informed decisions about accounting software. A detailed breakdown of these costs can be found in this in-depth white paper, which explores the true impact of relying on QuickBooks and potential alternatives that offer better financial efficiency.

For businesses looking to optimize their accounting processes, being aware of these hidden expenses can make all the difference in long-term profitability.

Plus the expectations changed, but some of the labour distribution hasn't. Women (I'll keep it binary here, I am talking about traditional role distribution) now have the opportunity to realize themselves ouside of the house (or at least try to do so, depends on the job), which adds to their workload, but the men have not yet taken their share of the "transforming input into a home" work, even if the "providing input" part has been shared.

2 adults might not be enough, but 1 adult piling up stuff while the other keeps it to the "traditional gender role" sure isn't.
