This literally saved me from clicking away with a sensible chuckle. There goes my evening.
I did NOT, thank you!
rm -rf $STEAM_ROOT/takes me wayyy back. I remember hearing about that one. It was part of a script that shipped with a Stream installer?Whatever it was, the bug was that if the env var in that line wasn’t defined, it would just
rmthe actual root. Hilarious if doesn’t happen to you!I was surprised by how many of these I already knew but also horrified at some of the things I have now read about
Like what?
The Japanese Postal CSV seems truly cursed
As someone who professionally writes code that has to ingest mail carrier invoices/other CSVs, this is probably the worst I’ve seen, but some of the files I’ve dealt with were … let’s say comparably frustrating.
Mostly it’s because mail carriers tend to write these files for humans/accountants to read and audit, so they’ll pull shit like putting in a whole differently-formatted chart above the actual CSV formatted table, or sending us password-protected, encrypted XSLX files that we need a human to decrypt using Excel before we can ingest it with our data tools.
Leave it to Japan to take it to the extreme by making their software in a fully bespoke way.
Having some of them as Twitter-links was not that good of an idea…
And it has that awesome xerox scanner bug found by David Kriesel! 😂
I watch his talk (german) like once or twice a year, because it is that funny!
So much cool stuff in there
I love it, thanks for sharing!
I love these icebergs.
One of my favorites is the fast inverse square solution.
It’s like Fermat’s Little theorem: meh, this is easy fuck you.
The rest of the world: what in the ever loving fuck is going on here? How in the… Jesus Christ… How did you?!? What is this black magic??? What part of your soul did you sell for this?
You know it’s very weird when you see that brainfuck is ‘above the iceberg’
Oh it hurts how many of these are recognizable.
So… Is the Basilisk Collection still not explained?
It appears to be a work of fiction.
Very neat, thanks for sharing
