Peak Programmer Career Trajectory

Nothing says "Microsoft" quite like turning your OS's demise into a dramatic movie scene. Windows 10 is basically Deadpool now – aware of its impending doom but still cracking jokes while everything burns around it. The best part? Microsoft is desperately trying to shove Windows 11 down our throats while half our enterprise apps still don't play nice with it. Classic Microsoft move: "Your OS is dying! Upgrade now!" followed by "Why yes, your printer drivers WILL mysteriously disappear, that's a feature."

Ah, the classic tale of the tech-illiterate conspiracy theorist who thinks they've uncovered the grand Microsoft deception. System32 is literally just the core Windows directory containing critical system files—delete it and congratulations, you've bricked your computer! The December 31, 1969 date is actually Unix epoch time (January 1, 1970 UTC) minus a timezone offset—basically the computer equivalent of "the beginning of time." It's what systems show when a file has no valid timestamp. But sure, go ahead and "save yourself 700kb" by deleting essential system files. I'm sure your computer will run so much faster in its new state as an expensive paperweight.

Ihad man browser windows open with various sites displayed showing sample code, documentation, other people's approaches etc. She gasped and said, "Dan, what are you doing?". I was confused and told her I was working on some new functionality. "But aren't you cheating?" she asked, wide eyed. "Eh?" was my even more confused response. "You're looking at those websites, shouldn't you figure it out vourself?" My jaw dropped. ProarammerHumor.io

Content Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new "feature" to Internet Explorer. If the text of an error's message is "too small", specifically less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns - its own error message. You can turn that off, but it's pretty tricky to find switch called "smart error messages". That means, of course, - chat short error messages are censored by deraucc. IIS always returns error messages that are long enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The workaround is pretty simple: pad the error message with a big comment like this to push it over the five hundred and twelve bytes minimum. Of course, that's exactly what you're reading right now. body html
