No but I’m all-in on phrenology

CEOs wanna cosplay Steve Jobs and unvail their crazy new features. They’ve already “trimmed the fat” to appease shareholders.

They just can’t make fixing old issues sexy.

One of them is EXACTLY 8 ASCII characters, may not contain any English dictionary word, no repeating character. At least 1 number, and at least 1 special characters. Just obliterates the search space.

I believe I understand the perspectives, but I’m unconvinced that there isn’t asymmetry. It’s one person’s job.

Like, I’ll whine all day about my job. But I’m under no illusions that I didn’t sign up for it, and I’m extremely cognizant that while it’s a bummer that I have to do my job, I understand that the people I support are having a worse day than I am. I’m not doing anyone a favour, I’m doing my job.

It is the AD credentials. It’s a fortune 500 company and it doesn’t even come close to NIST recommendations.

We have like 3 different ADs as a result of mergers and acquisitions, and the requirements are all different.

See I think this is where in general people in it misunderstand the impact.

Like, if it’s -40 and your furnace breaks, who is having the worse day, you or the furnace repair man?

The repair man might be grumbling because they have to do their job, but you’re grumbling because you’re freezing. You both might be grumbling, but by way of impact there is a massive asymmetry in impact.

You can’t

Then why are they different between systems? Do you have different insurers per application?

This is exactly my face when IT is telling me the rules for my passwords.

I agree that would be ideal.

I flat out do not trust each of the 500 devs operating on our codebase to maintain comments.

Tests are documentation, code can be documentation. Those run through CI.

If you can keep comments updated at scale, do it. If you can’t don’t pray for a miracle and find something that you actually can enforce

Writings self documenting code is so important.

Comments get stale and over time transition from: accurate to outdated, to eventually flat-out lies.

Go hard in the paint when choosing method or variable names. If it’s hard to give them coherent names, that’s a code smell.

Any language in which whitespace has syntactic value is intrinsically flawed.

Can’t speak to your specific issues, but that’s why yaml will always suck.

I actually generally hear this phrase IRL from teenagers making minimum wage while trying to get some boomer to stop badgering them to accept an expired coupon.

It’s just how limits work.

The issue isn’t with the software.

Imagine if I had photo radar sending tickets for people who were “almost” speeding.

The software config isn’t about “the markets” or “corporations”.

You don’t want a department that you throw it over the fence to, you want them embedded on your team. Keep those feedback loops TIGHT bois

'Nailing down the definition of a story point to “1 developer day” oughta do it ’

This is an interpretation of what happened. It’s the one that paints America in the most favourable light, for sure.

Another one is that the “no surrender” mentality was a direct result of the terms of the Potsdam Declaration which demanded “unconditional surrender” from Japan. Japan knew they had lost, they were just hoping to fight for the SPECIFIC surrender condition of the preservation of the Imperial line (aka, let the Emporer still be the Emporer, preserve the family).

Had the Potsdam Declaration permitted that concession, it very well may have been the case that no nukes would have been necessary.

Anyways: tough to understand the exact truth of any hypothetical situation. I just think it’s unfortunate that the “The USA HAD to, though” argument is so often repeated without a very full context of the surrounding political realities. It’s a very bite sized explanation, and it paints the USA in a fantastic light. It’s perhaps not a coincidence that it was AT Potsdam that the west hinted to Stalin of the existence of the nuclear bomb.

What’s the point of building the thing if you can’t prove to the world you have it, and are willing to use it?

I’m wondering if it’s a regional thing? I just looked online for pressure treated 2x2’s and all the ones I’m seeing (home hardware, home depot, advantage lumber, etc) list as actual being 1.5x1.5

Clicking through 90 fucking prompts if I wanna donate to charity or learn about their credit card offerings or if I want to sign up for their rewards program or if I want to give them my email so they’ll email me a receipt?
