@AlexRobinson about that XD

I don't understand ruby or ML enough for it :P

8:42 AM

i mean you understand more than me soo

just heard a notification for a meeting in 15 minutes from someone elses laptop before it popped up on mine

9:07 AM

@AlexRobinson happens everytime with emails

O.o ... I had a meeting this morning, so I opened up Microsoft Teams with my company account... Saw a message in Teams 'this meeting is cancelled', so I thought 'Oh, nice, that means I can go do some work'.

Was a cancellation of a different meeting (but with a very similar name).

So I just got a call, complaining I wasn't there... oh well.

@Tinkeringbell stuff happens :/

Yeah... this was just a tools check for a training tomorrow, so it was kind of a waste of time anyways. I had another meeting that halfways overlapped with it too, so ....

I'm kinda glad I didn't go ;-)

9:42 AM

as i've had a lot of meetings on teams recently, some of which have been rescheduled or cancelled; I recommend waiting for someone to start the meeting before joining

9:53 AM

Yeah, I didn't see anyone start the meeting though...

Might've been that I was using the webapp, but usually I get a 'X started the meeting' notification.

10:15 AM

that could be it, i know the notification you're talking about and so far i've never had it not show up when using desktop app

11:36 AM

11:58 AM

That's bad XD

12:30 PM

1:39 PM

@AlexRobinson For work, or for fun?

(important questions)

1:49 PM

2:28 PM

Morning.

hello badeline

@AlexRobinson Even better :D

2:58 PM

@Tinkeringbell missed a few calls this way but normally what i do is that i connect minutes before the meeting so everything is ready

@lila o/

dual-core gang cpu :P

hexa-core at home

in my previous employment i had a dual core from like 2010 and i lost hours of work due to programs crashing, general slow loads and stuff

Journeyman Geek

@CaldeiraG I have a core i9 9900k and a ryzen 3770h (its a laptop core) on my desk :D

3:16 PM

i bow down with my water cooled ryzen 3800x

Journeyman Geek

the core i9 is water cooled. The Ryzen is a NUC clone

i mean, i feel like not watercooling a chip that hot is just irresponsible lol

though ryzen chips will mostly run fine on stock cooler iirc

@JourneymanGeek nice :)

@JourneymanGeek oh you got the clone? good

i5-3340m at work, ryzen 5 3600x at home

that is... a painful work laptop

Journeyman Geek

@CaldeiraG yup

It's a snappy little thing

Swapped out the SSD for a spare and added more storage

So. Um.
I estimated a feature request at 1-2 months.
I think I just did it in 3 hours.
Whoops?

5:58 PM

Take a good hard look at the requirements again before reporting :P

TBF, the requirements were always simple. The reason for the long estimate was that the request was a modification to a gigantic ball of spaghetti.

I just learned that apparently the request was already 99% done, just with a minor bug and a piece of code to turn the functionality off because of said minor bug.

Also:
Me: (Reviewing code) "Rename this variable - it's a mailHandler, not a piece of mail."
Coworker: "Yes sir, as the pedant desires!"
Me: "Oh, you want to see pedantic? I'll show you pedantic."
Coworker: "No! Oh god no... What have I done. Why?!"

I might have a *bit* of a rep as a pedant when it comes to reviews.
