You know what cars need, a simple way to indicate when lights burn out, especially brake lights.

Many new models have light indicators for when bulbs are out.

Just got back from my Hawaii vacation early this morning. Looks like I chose the right time to leave b/c California had some record low temps while I was gone. I actually went through Week 17 and forgot the Bears were playing until right after the game ended. I also checked in here to CCS a few times to get caught up on the bros... couldn't stay away, lol.

Here's the view from the patio:

Use Camel Case and underscores in naming things? Check
Use field/table/procedure names that are like 8 words long? Check
Do NOT abbreviate ANY of the words in field/table/procedure names? Check
Use views of tables that are simply "select * from table"? Check
Use synonyms of tables or procedures that have reasonable names? Check
Leave error time bombs in your own code so when I run it in production it fucking tells me "This code cannot be run past 12/31/2014" EVEN THOUGH ITS STILL 12/31/2014 RIGHT FUCKING NOW? Check

EDIT:
Exec strings of SQL that are not dynamic? DOUBLE FUCKING CHECK
Manually open and commit transactions like this is still SQL Server 2000 and cause hung transactions to block shit all the time when I don't remember to manually commit a failed transaction? TRIPLE FUCKING CHECK

Don't know how well this will format but this is some of the code I had to deal with.


1900-UPDATE-EMFAXAD.
MOVE SRT-CNTCT-KEY TO CNTCT-KEY.
PERFORM 0112-START-EMFAXAD-FILE THRU 0112-EXIT
IF WS-EMFAXAD-OK
PERFORM 0113-READNEXT-EMFAXAD-REC THRU 0113-EXIT
IF WS-EMFAXAD-OK
IF CNTCT-KEY = SRT-CNTCT-KEY
IF SRT-CNTCT-VENDOR-INV
PERFORM WITH TEST BEFORE
VARYING WS-CNTCT-I FROM 1 BY 1
UNTIL WS-CNTCT-I > 8
IF (CNTCT-PRIME-FLAG(WS-CNTCT-I) =
'D' OR 'W' OR 'M' OR 'Y')
AND (CNTCT-USE-FAX-OR-E-MAIL(WS-CNTCT-I) =
'E' OR 'F')
IF (CNTCT-USE-FAX(WS-CNTCT-I) AND
CNTCT-FAX-PHONE(WS-CNTCT-I) > SPACES)
OR (CNTCT-USE-E-MAIL(WS-CNTCT-I) AND
CNTCT-E-MAIL(WS-CNTCT-I) > SPACES)
SET WS-CONTACTS-FOUND-YES TO TRUE
END-IF
END-IF
END-PERFORM
IF WS-CONTACTS-FOUND-YES
SET WS-CONTACTS-FOUND-NO TO TRUE
END-IF
END-IF
END-IF
END-IF
END-IF.
1900-EXIT.
EXIT.

He has this 7 level nested IF with a PERFORM VARYING in the middle, all to set a flag to YES, and then he just sets it back to NO afterwards.

I just finished converting 3.4tb(was much more) worth of video archives to the latest x265 encodings from various older formats this week.

Saved approximately 1.6tb of space, and I haven't seen any difference. Even blew up a few sample comparisons, and still it was perfect. I almost decided to go with VP9, but the VP9 results did give me a noticeable quality drop when stills were blown up. But it was close, I might have saved another 100gigs of space with VP9 though.

Why do all dogs, regardless of breed get that face when they're taking a dump?

Of course, the first thing I'm greeted with when I walk into the locker room at the gym is some dude pushing 70 cleaning his balloon knot with a wash rag. Do people seriously not have any decency?
