Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Not Much of a Spring Break, Eh?

Senor Weaselo

/

, , ,

Gig yesterday (that nearly murdered my kidneys, three straight hours on stage and I had to ask if I could go off before I keeled over and died before we had to go downstage and play for a *checks notes* Holocaust survivor, gig today, and then Holy Week! Good Friday I have a concert in the morning/afternoon, then teach, and then have an opera rehearsal (on “viola” in quotes for a reason) in the evening. (I don’t actually have a viola, hence the quotes. WE’LL SEE WHAT WE DO!) Saturday Easter vigil, so the full damn 2 1/2 hours. Easter service Sunday will be a breeze before linner. Pushing to watch Life of Brian, because ‘tis the season!

Also what we do is the news! (It’s all speculation and posturing wankery.)

But there are also sports on!

The important hockey (CAR vs. MTL) is on… ESPN+, you bastards! Not even flexed to the national broadcasts! They’re moving debates for it and everything!

This is also because eliminator play-ins are on ESPN (9/10 games): MIA-CHI (7:30) and somehow Dallas-SAC (10:00). Who will get a chance to lose to the Hawks and Clippers either tomorrow or Friday?

Also check for CONCACAF because apparently Bitey was at it again, and Hermana Weaselo will be at her second Dirt Giants game in three days (we were there Monday) as they take on the Dirt Chiefs (on Prime, speaking of bastards).

Okay, time to rehearse, we’re getting paid now.

Do people fart more nowadays or has my sense of smell just improved?

My cat is staring at me with uncomfortable intensity. It’s like he thinks I’m about to do something incredible. He’s 17, you’d think he’d know better by now

Found a funny:

America: where having an autism awareness tattoo means you’re an MS-13 gang member, but having a swastika tattoo just means you’re a German history buff

Also I went 2-2 in saves in the shootout to win our playoff game. I think I had 45 saves total. I’m gonna feel it in the morning.

I just managed to take a chunk out of my pinky finger with the telecoping handle of a piece of luggage. The luggage contains laundry so I’m calling this a laundry injury

Jesus Christ Superstar was a terrible movie.

watched quite a few times with my dad , Judas parts always stick out to me, watching it now cast choice is great but a more than bit suspect at same time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URWa0rbB1Kw

“Norman Jewison, the director, has talked about how when they were in the casting phase and were looking for the person to place Judas, they had auditioned 4 or 5 other men before Carl Anderson came along. He loved Carl’s audition. He was worried though that if he cast Carl as Judas, it would be depicting white people as the Savior, and black people as the betrayers, since Ted Neely, who plays Jesus, is white. And Carl Anderson, who plays Judas, is black. So he was reluctant to cast Carl. But he ultimately came to the conclusion that he would not be able to live with himself if he did not cast Carl Anderson to play Judas because Carl gave the best audition out of everyone and was the best person to play Judas.”

It’s crazy windy here. Two of the ways into Palm Springs are closed because of blowing sand. At least it cooled down, it’s been stupidhot. We’re going into weekend two of Coachella, those poor kids are going to get their body paint stripped off if it keeps up!

like to play turned based games like Old World and Civ til I get drunk enough to play a shooter like Marvel Rivals and my teammates really appreciate the attitude adjustment

yeah right

Quite the amazing day in Toronto. TAJ and I and Game Time Decision did this town proper.

Vlad Jr hit his first dinger of the year and the Jays beat the Braves 3-1.

That’s a good baseball experience. Fun stadium.

Everyone is incredibly nice.

Now let’s get after this town again tomorrow.

Something about a pea meal bacon sandwich?

Also, we made it back from Disneyland. Home of a fucking Earthquake alert.

Very respectable showing by Raiders Nation in the park the last couple days. Can really feel the excitement for Pete and Geno to come bring the franchise back to dominance.

For those of you not in tech, there is a website called LeetCode that is all about coding interview prep. Basically a bunch of toy problems that show you can work effectively in a programming language but aren’t really that useful.

Well, today, I used one at work and felt super nerdy (in a good way)!

Longest Common Substring if anyone wants to know

blaxabbath

What’s uh…. why would you want a job working with a tool you don’t know how to use?

2
Doktor Zymm

It’s far from a perfect test of coding skill, totally possible that you would be great at the job but suck at LeetCode problems and vice versa

BugEyedBoo

I think they’ll usually let you pseudocode it. They just want to see if you’re smart enough to catch all the funky angles on the problem.

I personally think you’re much better off spending time figuring out if the candidate gets along with the team than you are seeing if the candidate remembers how the Sieve of Eratosthenes works.

Gatoraids

i dont do these in our teams interviews and people are so shocked we dont have these and 6 sets of hoops to jump through. think google had research that none of these things ended up mattering.

I almost feel people that ace these are most likely to come into your code base and endless refactor shit and ignore business requirements and fight QA and business.

of course i work for medium sized normy business no real big brain shit going on

We hired a developer who was just like that. His code is pretty in a design patterns sort of way, but is a bitch to fix when a bug gets found by a customer ten years later.

It’s been Reunion Week between me and some old-ish code of mine. There’s two new bugs, both seven or eight years old. One took about 10 minutes to find, and the other had me telling one of our new developers, “I must’ve been drunk when I wrote this, because I have no idea whatsoever why I did it this way.” To my credit my subconscious finally did let me know why I did it the way I did.

1
Mr. Ayo

Was it because you were actually drunk?

BugEyedBoo

I’ve tried coding with a few beers in me. Evident my mind doesn’t let me work like that.

Welp, my nieces’ plans to join Americorps have just gone up in smoke thanks to Rolf and his 88 incel helpers at DOGE.

blaxabbath

What were her plans A through F?

1
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Two nieces. Americorps was plan A for both; they’ll both be fine (one has a full ride at Alabama and the other got accepted to USCB) but they’re pretty disappointed. The upside is that Americorps does most of their work in shithole red states so the next time they need to rebuild after a major disaster I can start putting Rod and Todd back to work.

yeah the short sighted what is good for this quarter finally spreading its ruin to the public sector , never mind any past investment or future return. They were going to end funding for worlds main cybersecurity threat coordination and classification effort over 30 mil which is the cost of any company to fix one instance.

A viola is a viol with an article on the end and a violin is a viol with a preposition on the end, so really the difference is just semantics

The Chicago Bulls are getting obliterated by the Heat right now but I can’t for the life of me think of an appropriate historical analogy.

Bulls are cursed since they boo’d that widow or they just really suck.

Jerry Krause was by all accounts a pretty terrible person, but booing his widow is a step beyond.

We love fandom. The most important element of fandom is absolute emotion over intelligence.

Chicago is a city with some great fans.

So all I’m saying is, like having a governor peddling Senate seats for cash, these things just happen sometimes.

Illinois had a good run as most corrupt part of the US, but they’re really gonna have to step it up if they want to challenge the Federal govt right now

Since the Bulls are wearing Bulls gear I think that makes them member of MS13 if that helps

If that were true they would be better shots.

If there was only some kind of bovine-related incident that unleashed a great amount of warmth in the vicinity of Chicago and caused great destruction, but…no. Not really anything that fits the bill.

Maybe it’s more of a joke about s prominent Chicago personality being a cuckold AND his wife is not using lubrication — thus the opening for heat/destruction to the attending bulls?
