haha that's actually kind of cool.
Michal learned that the object files that CoreTR's AOT (ahead of time) compiler in 2020 can be linked with the 1994 linker from Visual C++ 2.0. The result is native code that links up with Win32s that runs in 16-bit (ish) Windows 3.11. Magical. Kudos Michal.
That's awesome.

One big advantage is that it probably won't crash 15% of computers with every update, unlike winio.

3.1 didn't need any update to crash all the time.

So I've got my little bytecode interpreter, compiler, assembler and disassembler for regular expressions.
I've been playing around with compiler optimization techniques using it and it's so much fun!
I'm so glad I made Lexly. This is some entertaining code.
Right now I'm trying to turn my AST into an NFA, and then do a partial DFA transformation on that to see if I can't render the code from that instead of the AST directly and thereby make it tighter.

Just saw this one on a job posting:
Job post: Must be a team player that works with a sense of urgency.
Okay, there are two translations that come to mind:
1) "works with a sense of urgency" --
Translates to..."Drinks a lot of water but is allowed no restroom breaks" 
2) Must be a team player that works with a sense of urgency -- Translates to, "Don't be griping when we tell you late Friday afternoon that the thing has got to be done by Monday morning!"
Also notice that they are looking for a "team player that" and not a "team player who" which indicates that they think of you as any other piece of office equipment (chair, desk, etc.) since you're a that and not a who.

Why, yes, of course. It was full, but it was the job posting that poured out the top half.

Some people think the glass is half empty, other think the glass is half full.
Engineers think the glass is twice as big as necessary.

Technically, the glass is always full.

Unless it is a quantum glass. Then it is full and empty at the same time.

Indeed.
"Sense of urgency" means the boss wants you to feel as stressed out as she does.
Some years ago my wife had a boss who complained she had no sense of urgency, but her co-workers said she "had a calming effect on the office".

When you're stressed out you're less productive and make more errors.
|
|

Everyone know that. Except inept bosses, of course.

You will be assigned with wathever your co-workers don't manage to do and we will need it for yesterday.
In germany, they say: TEAM (Toll Ein Anderer Macht's = Nice, someone else will do it)
M.D.V.
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

So true!

That is a perfect explanation of how teams work. No worries, because someone else will do it.

This sounds a bit like my current workload. Four high priority projects that have all been assigned over the last two weeks.
I can concentrate on one, maybe two, in which case something will actually be completed. Or I can try to split my time between all four, in which case nothing will actually be completed.
I classify this as manager with zero common sense.
