I was wondering how a floodway affected software developers but I eventually figured it out.

They get very agitated when they learn their server is in a basement located in a floodway.

It's funny. My sister has a very sucessful career in the software industry, and I'm a City Planner.

We're always confusing the rest of the family at holidays. We both have a lot of strong opinions on development and we're both interested in the other's career, so listening to our back and forth conversations has to be maddening.

That seems like a lot of fun! Do you live in the same city? I would complain abt all the road work

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We live on opposite sides of the country.

We grew up in a very Republican area. I stayed and fight the good fight, but my sister has a child and it's better not to raise children in this environment.

An hour later, I trod the same path.

Everything about it makes perfect sense except "floodway". And, if I buzzword hard enough, I could see that meaning something like the Slashdot effect/hug of death.

... I'm going to start using it that way.

I develop software for mining (ore) operations, so a floodway didn't sound entirely implausible.

I've also spent all week doing tech-support because I'm the only one that's not on vacation, so my brain is a little fried.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Ah, that's even more acute. You definitely win this round.

EDIT: Also, hope your tech support ends today (or at least soon) and you don't have to deal with it again.

I'm in central Europe, so I've been off the clock for like, 9 hours or so at this point. I should really sleep and let my brain recuperate a little.

Its a streaming overflow area for a data lake. Usually implemented with some sort of hierarchal storage management solution. Its used when you are streaming data somewhere but the connection is interrupted and its suboptimal to add further partitions to your streaming, and your boss isnt cool with just deleting the data that we all know will never be used for anything at all. So you stay up all night moving this crap data around, questioning your life choices and feeling like a moron.
