Lol, my current house's wiring is a bunch of DIY bullshit that even an ex-electrician spent an hour trying to figure out before telling me to pay for someone to take the time to get it fixed

They turned one of the light switches by the "front" door into a dummy plate, wired it and the fan to 2 switches in what used to be a spot for a plug, and managed to tie that whole system to the kitchen light and the outside porch light

Cannot find a consistent path with a multimeter to save our fucking lives, I gave up and we just don't have our kitchen light working for like 1.5 years

My 5'x4' bathroom has 3 seperate circuits feeding it. There is one circuit for the lights, one for the fan, and one for the single outlet in there. Those are the only things on those 3 circuits.

My basement has fully wired electrical outlets in the walls that were just sheetrocked over when the previous owner "finished the basement".

My basement has an electrical outlet on every other stud throughout the whole thing; they are all on the same 15A breaker.

The the upstairs bedrooms are on seperate circuits except for one outlet on the north wall of each bedroom which both share the same seperate circuit.

I think my house was wired by M.C. Escher.

Do you have an attic where the kitchen light box is accessible?

i feel like Lua just exacerbates this problem so much. you have to reinvent the wheel so often in that language, and i often see people reinvent the wheel differently than i would have.

not to mention the nesting…. i don’t know why, but just about every lua file i read has so many nested loops and conditional statements. it’s scary.

The worst, for either career, is working out that it has to be this awful. Like there's an obvious right way, and that doesn't work because of some aggravating circumstance, and the simple workaround wouldn't fit the use-case, and properly doing what's necessary would be hideously inefficient... so... bodge.

Clunk clunk get it done.

That also 100 percent applies to cybersecurity

So you’re a software dev with no idea of affinity groups?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am one.

Wait am I supposed to get a affinity group assigned? Like pokemon elements?

This is how weird it is for you to give two shits about your problem space…

Well then… Okay. You don’t have to care about anything. After all your only value is to write code! You are hands on keyboard… while that function is slowly being replaced with AI…

Never look up and do not under any circumstance consider how your work matters! Or how it figures into your team, the larger org, or the company. DO NOT CONSIDER WORTH. You aren’t worth it, you write code so don’t think, we are inventing machines to do that instead of people like you…

Other folks think so you don’t have to. We’ll pay them. You’re not worth it. Just keep your mouth shut and wait to execute. We know your worth and will tell you what that is…

Too late, I looked it up

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affinity_group

"Affinity groups engaged in political activism date to 19th century Spain. It was a favourite way of organization by Spanish anarchists (grupos de afinidad), and had their base in the tertulias or in the local groups."

It's not the best wikipedia page I have skimmed.

Too late you missed the boat! The meaning isn’t based on millennial bullshit. But kudos for demonstrating to everyone how you can miss the boat by thousands of years!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I am to mention. I’m sorry.
