The forum discussion revolves around the latest installment of the "Random Thoughts" thread on Physics Forums, highlighting various topics including critiques of documentary programming on the History Channel and National Geographic's recent ownership change. Participants express concerns about the quality of content in documentaries and share personal anecdotes, such as a humorous incident involving a clogged kitchen extractor fan. The conversation also touches on mathematical discussions regarding prime numbers and cultural observations about societal norms and language use.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for media analysts, educators in mathematics, cultural commentators, and anyone interested in the intersection of media, society, and education.
I explained the distinction between dev, test and prod to my wife, and then showed her the Leonidas meme. She laughed, then questioned whether the punchline was worth the two minute lecture on IT methodology.Borg said:

I've not seen those logos, but I don't see the link beyond both being lines from 300 (edit: both from Leonidas, in fact). I think the movie is just so scenery chewingly over-the-top (mis-)quotable that it gets used for all sorts of things.WWGD said:

A difference between dev, test and prod? So I'm told.fresh_42 said:
In the prod version all the error-checking is removed, so you won't know why it went wrong.Ibix said:
No, only their name is different: they are called change requests instead of error protocolDrGreg said:
In production it doesn't go wrong. There are just unintended features.DrGreg said:
Even if using Agile/Sprint? EDIT: Agile/Scrum.DrGreg said:

Ceci n'est pas un bug.Borg said:
public static void main(String args...) {
Robot robot = new Robot();
Random random = new Random();
while(true) {
Point point = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation(); // Get the current mouse location
point.setLocation(point.getX()+random.nextInt(1), point.getY()+random.nextInt(1)); // Move x and y one pixel randomly
robot.mouseMove(((int)point.getX()), ((int)point.getY());
Thread.sleep(800000); // wait 14 minutes and move it again
}
}Clearly the solution is to find your system admin and hurt him.Borg said:
One had to laugh if it wasn't so sad.Borg said:Speaking of features. What can I do when my company installs a version of Windows 10 that locks the screen if there isn't any input for 15 minutes and the settings can't be changed even with admin rights?
This of course.
Java:public static void main(String args...) { Robot robot = new Robot(); Random random = new Random(); while(true) { Point point = MouseInfo.getPointerInfo().getLocation(); // Get the current mouse location point.setLocation(point.getX()+random.nextInt(1), point.getY()+random.nextInt(1)); // Move x and y one pixel randomly robot.mouseMove(((int)point.getX()), ((int)point.getY()); Thread.sleep(800000); // wait 14 minutes and move it again } }
Another example of an English word in which one missing letter leads to a completely different meaning. English is the worst error correcting code I've ever seen.WWGD said:

I'm still working on a good answer. My best guess so far is, that you've won a bet and we're talking about caviar.WWGD said:
More like something to see with the Sturgeon General. Who recommends _not_ to eat fish. At least not sturgeon.fresh_42 said:
No, I just saw they were selling sturgeon in a store and I was curious.WWGD said:
