This is true with pretty much every usecase I see. "Book a date night for me and my wife" - Are you afraid of open table and trying to find a restaurant?
"Send an email about..." - if it's not worth your time to think about and type, why is it worth the other person's time to read?

Right? A lot of these seem to boil down to either that or "I don't actually like my family, I just feel obligated to have one and by extension obligated to do $x" - buddy, if you care that little about your kid's birthday just leave, even your kid will be happier.

I feel the same way about Nevada. Honestly debating going down to the local dem party office and seeing what I'd have to do to primary Cortez Masto.

One interesting area we tested but didn't go for a full implementation (during my time working at the org, at least) was using blockchain for validating/publicly showing who bought carbon credits from our company. There's not a central authority, but it gave us a public ledger to record against.

Their security tools are better than mine, so it's a good way to get those cleaned up for personal use.

I feel like no one writing for that opinion column has an ounce of self awareness. The older people doing it are also wind bags, and the younger folks either have no connection to previous generations or don't understand that "likes to talk" is a quality from a generation that enjoyed small talk.

Make her an inquisitor, introduce her in the next Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor game.

Those look like the instructions I remember. One thing I did run into on the next part is I never got add-azvhd to work properly, I had to upload the file to a storage blob and import from there.

Yes, but it has been a long time since I've done that so I couldn't tell you the steps exactly. Just that it is (or was, 3ish years ago) possible.

Which makes sense. I just had never had to think of it that way, or really at all, before.

Yeah I gotta be honest, I had no clue an item shipping through the UK would be tariffed based on country of origin like that. Am I surprised? No. But I wouldn't have made that assumption until I read this just now.
I learn something new and terrible every day!

Definitely are, although I think the repo is a little smoother personally. Will definitely try the port old fashioned, had heard of that one before

I would also recommend Reposado old fashioneds if you haven't tried it. They've become my favorite lately.

It's true, I was in the signal chat where he said he was going to do it.

If you'd like to continue tone policing please do, but the idea that i'm punching down or support state fascism is ridiculous. I also laugh when I warn someone that a floor is slippery, they ignore me, and fall down. Is that punching down?
comment in response to
post
Where did I support that idea? I'm laughing at a real thing that happened to a real asshole.
Would it be better if it never happened? Yes, but I don't have that choice. This is completely and totally out of my control. So I'll laugh at an asshole receiving consequences of their own decisions.

Who the fuck is punching down?
comment in response to
post
Nobody said they were alright with fascism dipshit. Do you think before you say words or does whatever dumb shit comes to mind just spew out as it happens?
Laughing at a fascist getting the consequences of their own actions doesn't mean anyone *approves* that this is life now.

I'm curious how those online betting sites that took odds on how long the tariffs would last are dealing with this. Admittedly not enough to go check though.

Honestly it's something I'm personally struggling with. I'm not able to publicly support Krebs for several different reasons that would terminate my employment at a time I can't afford that.
I also feel like a bad person for not speaking up.
This fucking blows.

Liberation Monday. Words don't have meaning anymore, so might as well keep the name consistent with the original announcement.

(also I'm late saying this, but hopefully I'm not being annoying. Just thought you'd enjoy actual Discworld engagement.)
Unrelated, I'll be in the LA/OC area and honestly would like to buy you a beer in a couple weeks. Let me know if you'd like to meet up.

Alright I'll accept that, we're good until your time limit on internet fights is up.

Look I don't want to start any beef, but before I commit to that what's the best Discworld book in your opinion, and why is it Going Postal?

My cat's an asshole who kinda has that coming. Could you do it even if I don't point anything out?

Most technology jobs amount to doing tech well. But in the help desk your job is explicitly NOT to make technology do new things, you're scored on how well you navigate the business through technological obstacles. It's the only area I can think of that truly has that metric.
comment in response to
post
Honestly this seems to be true with a lot of good upper management I know, although they don't talk about it. There's a level of care you have to have (even unknowingly) for business operation and process in relation to technology that you don't get any other way.

Why ruin a perfectly good spot by adding a bunch of politicians and their related ilk?

Apparently Nevada's biggest export is gold, primarily to the swiss. I lived here and had no idea, thanks for the new fun fact

Agreed. Was he perfect? Nope. But he was a lot better than most of the other congress people, and did actually do his best to engage with his constituents.

We also adopted a senior cat and can't recommend it enough. Don't know quite how old she is, the first record we have is her getting spayed in 2008(!) - you'd never know she's at least 16, she's the sweetest and most playful animal in the house.

Right? And if they PARTNERED with the smart ones stuck in the trenches they would realize 2 key things:
1. The work isn't going away
2. There are profitable areas that could actually use better tooling and help.
But for some reason it's all or nothing. If they can't take it all they don't want any

AND THEY'RE BAD AT IT.
You hit my pet peeve. Every 2 years some dev tells me how networking/infra/etc is a dead field and they're going to replace everyone.
And their products suck shit. It makes me so mad.

What's always kept me safer in dangerous places is having a smile on my face and letting people bum smokes. Turns out (in my experience) people don't want to do shit if you seem decent before they can try and get you for anything. And if they do, the dude who just got a cig is annoyed.

I've had this issue with a lot of gamepass games. I can't speak to NG2 specifically but Control was unplayable on my PC via gamepass, and has no issues at all since I got the steam version.

If you were a real AWS focused economist creating a crypto scam, you'd call them S3 credits

Right?! I do my best to tip well (30% or so whenever I can, I'm not rich) and people act like it's incredible. If I could tip 200+% (or like you said, incredible stacks) every time I would. Why are you people all not folk heroes with your billions of dollars?!

No kidding. Wonder how many times they got to use that "push script as SYSTEM" function before they got kicked out...

The way the letter reads makes it sound like they were/are using BT's Remote Support Software (formerly Bomgar), which honestly seems even worse than just their PAM being breached.

Ah yes, I remember when a threat actor famously demanded $10,000,000 in iTunes gift cards from a hospital.
