Deadlocks are nasty. Spent three evenings (~12 hours) hunting a bug in an embedded network stack, blaming its messy implementation… only to find the deadlock was in my code, surfacing first in the network stack with a limited blast radius. Oh boy.

Is anyone old enough to remember BBSs? Before IRC? I was trying to remember my first kind of "online" experience. My dad showed me how to get into BBSs. I was trying to write a paper on the Invasion of Grenada, sooo about 1984? I used to go on just to search for info for research papers. #SmartMe

That was back when you could barely fit a five paragraph essay on a floppy disk. Also, printing-- traumatic.

By 1986 I am getting on IRC and meeting boys from other universities online. #StupidMe

Wenn man langsam (<5 km/h) an einer Matschpfütze auf dem Rad vorbei rollend mit dem rechten Bremshebel in Maschendrahtzaun hängen bleibt und abrupt auf 0 km/h gestoppt wird, reißt es die linke Seite sehr schnell nach vorne.

Wusstet Ihr schon, dass man sich dabei die linke Schulter kurz raus springen lassen kann, wenn man dabei krampfhaft den Lenker festhält?

Pro-tip: don't disconnect a cable because you think it doesn't go anywhere.

I had so much issues with my new PC: it was slow as hell and would shut itself off in about 2 minutes. Couldn't even get into the bios most of the time, and the one time I did, I saw the CPU was at 100C.

Then I noticed the fans for the watercooler weren't turning... so the CPU got too hot, throttled itself, and then the overheating prot kicked in.
