Rare Arctic Button Sells for $8,000 » Explorersweb

A button with extraordinary historical significance has fetched $8,225 (£6,000) at auction in the UK. At a glance, it just looks like an old brass button. However, this rare Arctic rescue button dates from the searches for the lost John Franklin expedition. Both Franklin's ships, HMS Terror and HMS Erebus, disappeared in 1845 while seeking the Northwest Passage. For years afterward, dozens of ships scoured the region in the hope of finding them.…See the Story

Classic WTF: Take the Bus

It's summer break time, here at TDWTF, and based on this classic, we shouldn't be traveling by bus. Original --Remy Rachel started working as a web developer for the local bus company. The job made her feel young, since the buses, the IT infrastructure, and most of their back-office code was older than she was. The bus fare-boxes were cash only, and while you could buy a monthly pass, it was just a little cardboard slip that you showed the drive…Read Article

Using the Old Bean

If you write a lot of Java, you're going to end up writing a lot of getters and setters. Without debating the merits of loads of getters and setters versus bare properties, ideally, getters and setters are the easiest code to write. Many IDEs will just generate them for you! How can you screw up getters and setters? Well, Dave found someone who could. private ReportDatesDao reportDatesDao; @Resource(name = CensusDao.BEAN_NAME) public void setAud…Read Article

Stop Being So ####

Many a network admin has turned to the siren song of Perl to help them automate managing their networks. Frank's predecessor is no exception. They also got a bit combative about people critiquing their Perl code: # COMPLEX SUBNET MATH # Looking up a value in an array was faster than any mathematical solution. Yes, it's hard coded, but these values won't ever change anyway. Stop being so #### about it. $Subnets = @("0.0.0.0","128.0.0.0","192.0.0.…Read Article

A Real POS Report

Eddie's company hired a Highly Paid Consultant to help them retool their systems for a major upgrade. Of course, the HPC needed more and more time, and the project ran later and later and ended up wildly over budget, so the HPC had to be released, and Eddie inherited the code. What followed was a massive crunch to try and hit absolutely hard delivery dates. Management didn't want their team "rewriting" the expensive code they'd already paid for,…Read Article

Integral to a Database Read

One of the key points of confusion for people unfamiliar with Java is the distinction between true object types, like Integer, and "primitive" types, like int. This is made worse by the collection types, like ArrayList, which needs to hold a true object type, but can't hold a primitive. A generic ArrayList is valid, but ArrayList won't compile. Fortunately for everyone, Java automatically "boxes" types- at least since Java 5, way back in 2004- s…Read Article

Making a Pass of Yourself

Frederico planned to celebrate the new year with friends at the exotic international tourist haven of Molvania. When visiting the area, one could buy and use a MolvaPass (The Most Passive Way About Town!) for free or discounted access to cultural sites, public transit, and more. MolvaPasses were available for 3, 7, or 365 days, and could be bought in advance and activated later. Still outside the country the week before his trip, Frederico had t…New Year Read Article

The Missing Link of Ignorance

Our anonymous submitter, whom we'll call Craig, worked for GlobalCon. GlobalCon relied on an offshore team on the other side of the world for adding/removing users from the system, support calls, ticket tracking, and other client services. One day at work, an urgent escalated ticket from Martin, the offshore support team lead, fell into Craig's queue. Seated before his cubicle workstation, Craig opened the ticket right away: The new GlobalCon su…Read Article

Mike's Job Search Job

Underqualified Mike S. is suffering a job hunt. "I could handle uD83D and uDC77 well enough, but I am a little short of uD83C and the all important uDFFE requirement." Frank forecasts frustration. "The weather app I'm using seems to be a bit confused on my location as I'm on vacation right now." It would be a simple matter for the app to simply identify each location, if it can't meaningfully choose only one. Marc Würth is making me hungr…Apps Read Article
