Awaria sieci 169.254.xxx.xxx
Stacje robocze, które mają dynamiczne przydzielane adresy IP (o adresacji 169.254.xxx.xxx, 255.255.0.0) nie mają łączności z siecią - polecenie ping na adres 10.2.xxx.xxx zwraca: General faliure, a polecenie tracert: błąd transmisji kod 1231. Pozostałe stacje o stałych adresach IP działają poprawnie.

Dude, are you for real? Are you actually actively trying to be a d*ck or
you're this way by default.

Przychodzi pierwiastek do lekarza - "A co pan jakiś taki... kwadratowy?"

I think over the last 10 years I’ve evolved as a coder. Here’s some of the milestones I achieved.

You Start Using Source Control

You spend half a day trying to find what you changed in your code that has suddenly made it stop working. You realise that your current form of source control (CTRL+Z) isn’t doing you any favors. You spend an hour learning about source control and never look back.

You Stop Obsessing Over Optimizations

You decide that getting everything working should be the first priority. Then you’ll worry whether that function that gets called once on shutdown is fast enough.

You Stop Coding The Same Things Over and Over

You realise that half your time is spent writing the same thing. You would have used your old code but it’s so messy and you feel dirty. You decide to seperate your common generic code into its own utility library. And never look back.

You Think A Step Higher

Instead of coding a new class factory for everything that requires it you make a generic class factory template.. now you never have to code a class factory again. You actively look at what you’re doing and think “what can I do to make sure I never have to do this again”.

Including Windows.h Makes You Itch

You don’t want to include Windows.h anywhere in your project anymore. You know it’s going to come and f**k you in the end somehow. It’s going to rename your functions. It’s going to give you s**t loads to fix when you try to make your project portable. So instead you go the extra mile and you look for the standard functions. If you can’t find alternatives you make a platform.h which includes a platform_win32.h under windows. It feels good.

You Start Using Build Automation

You have come to find that dropping cpp files into a vcproj isn’t the best way to manage your project. This is drilled home when you come to compile it on another platform. So from now on you use something like premake to build your project files. Now you can generate projects for Visual Studio, GMake, XCode, CodeBlocks and anything else you would ever want to generate them for. You are portable.

Przeglądając gazetkę reklamową, akurat strona z damską bielizną: "O, mają char* w promocji"

When people from the WYSIWYG world meet people who use LATEX, they often discuss “the advantages of LATEX over a normal word processor” or the opposite. The best thing to do when such a discussion starts is to keep a low profile, since such discussions often get out of hand. But sometimes there is no escaping ...

Fun is critical but so is safety! That's why I compile all my software with GCC's fun safe optimizations like -funsafe-loop-optimizations and -funsafe-math-optimizations.

<odpowiedź na post o PHPowej skrzynce z narzędziami>

Wyobraź sobie teraz inną skrzynkę z narzędziami. Jest pełna narzędzi. Próbujesz otworzyć, ale jakiś idiota pomylił zawiasy z zamkiem i masz jeden zawias z przodu i dwa zamki z tyłu.
Ogarniasz co jest w środku - ultrazaawansowany młotek, który do użycia wymaga stopnia doktora, śrubokręt za duży do wszystkiego. Na siłę da się coś odkręcić jeśli tylko walniesz na tyle mocno, że rozwalisz śrubę.
Masz tam nawet elektronarzędzia! Np. taka ekstra wiertarka, ale nie ma silnika. Ani miejsca na korbkę. Ani uchwytu na dłoń. To nawet nie jest wkrętarka. Nie wiadomo co to jest. Musisz ściągnąć dodatkowe wtyczki, by wiedzieć co to do cholery jest.
Teraz patrzysz i wyciągasz ze skrzynki śrubki, które okazują się gwoździami, które jednak okazały się makaronem.
Tak właśnie działa Java.
