We get 32gb machines

I have an 8gb machine. All you need is vim baby.

I ssh to devel machines we host on our servers though. **** mac.

For Victor.

Lol

Lol ya that's legit psycho.

Started learning rust. Rust is awesome. Learn rust.

Any other rustaceans? This world is so vast. What open source projects should I look at? Resources?

Sounds like rust just got async/await - which is huge. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21473259

Rust seems really cool. However I totally and utterly suck at it. I tried rewriting a go interpreter in rust and made 0 progress with the borrowing system.

Definitely a great language though

The compiler can guarantee thread safety at compile time. To me that is so cool. There’s a really passionate community as well, been listening to some podcasts. Problem is I have no idea what to make with it. I usually just start implementing random data structures like linked lists or B trees to learn a language

My project manager a couple weeks ago on like Thursday:

"Oh I forgot to ask you, you were sick last Friday, are you feeling ok? And your car needed work the Friday before that. Is your car ok?"

I mean there is no universe where that's not just passive-aggressive BS right? Who brings up a car issue from 2 weeks ago where I worked from home that day?

Btw my boss has a wfh or sick issue about 1.5 times/week. He has a different boss so maybe it's different. But he calls out sick just as much. We're not busy right now and won't be until after Christmas. We can't schedule a wfh day so we have to make a BS excuse, which I just hate anyway.

And then today he slacks me:

"Oh, how did your endocsopy last week go?"

How about I shove a tube down your throat and we'll compare experiences, buddy? I'm actually waiting on a biopsy right now to make sure I don't have cancer - and you can seriously go eff yourself.

Lol yea he’s probably being a jerk but there’s also a lot of management bs out there where you gotta establish a rapport with your cohorts and maybe he’s just trying to make conversation in a dumb way.

Our culture’s pretty relaxed because everyone generally does what theyre supposed to do and no one except the CEO really cares whether it’s done at the office or at home or wherever. But we have a lot of remote people so maybe that makes it easier.

For instance last 3 days i’ve wfh in the afternoon because there’s not a lot going on and i honestly doubt anyone cares. If someone asked me about it i dont think i’d read into it like you, so your culture sounds a little toxic

It already debases me enough to have to make up BS excuses (not the endoscopy). Don't make me repeat that ****.

I just ignored him both times.

Use diarrhea as an excuse next time. No one asks about that.

You could always make him feel awkward by directly asking him why he is checking up on you

Anyone know how to multiply a number entered in a cell in Excel, and show it in that same cell?

IE - I want to type 30 and have it instantly turn into 30,000 when I hit enter. Or 30k is actually better since it's shorter and I'm not using the number for anything special. So it could be as simple as adding "k" to the end of whatever I enter. But in another cell doesn't work - it needs to be the same cel I entered it into.

You can probably set the cells formatting to custom to do this.

I don't think you can use the formula engine through the gui as it won't allow self reference. You may be able to do it in VBA though not sure, but then you'd probably have to execute a macro or trigger on update or something.

I tried custom on google sheets and there was no option to add 3 zeros. Assuming it's the same on Excel - but I need it to work on Google too.

Suzzer,

Convince me this isnt a massive waste of time.

You said adding a k was fine. You can do a custom number format in Google Sheets that just adds a `k` to the end of any number. Might look weird if you're dealing with values in the millions or more (like 3,230k).

Although, does seem like a waste of time...

Edit: Because I like wasting time, this seems to work in Google Sheets:

Edit2: Actually it kind of blows if you need numbers not rounded to thousands. Entering 3.2 would look like 3,000.

Is your company not afraid of losing programmers ?

My PM doesn't care - he works for a different boss. His boss and my boss don't get along. So they'd probably love it if my boss lost me.

We moved to a new building and his boss and my boss's offices are literally on opposite ends of the floor. They were right next to each other at the old building.

Also their boss left 5 months ago and no replacement yet. So there's no parent to keep the feuding under control.

Ya you might want to dust up that resume suzz. Thats some b.s..

On the plus side it's a university - which means we get a bajillion holiday days - and we're already pretty much in coast mode through the holidays. And they match 8% to my 7% in my 401k.

oh nice. hopefully you are contributing to the brainwashing of our youth with sjw cultural marxism.

And skyrocketing tuition!
