For most devs, it’s a Jenga tower. Only fancy algorithm devs get a nice Hanoi towers setup.

For some reason it reminds me of When Sysadmins Ruled The Earth, a short story about sysadmins dealing with the apocalypse.
I’m glad it’s only the football streaming sites, but I don’t much like that companies get this kind of legal power.
I wish I could do that for Band Maid. I really want them to get my money. Not some fucking glorified delivery company.
I remember playing Wildlands and loving it so much I actually bought the game full price. Sometimes you gotta vote with your wallet.
My entire career is based on “yeah but you’re good with computers and programming!” I just wanted to do fine arts and paint for fuck sake. And I could have made a career out of it, as history as since shown! Ah well. Maybe my kids will fare better, we’ll see.
One of my colleague is leader of the team managing our internal software systems, but also a potato farmer. Somehow.
Oh I agree! It was so annoying.
I’ve had this so often… very frustrating.
I like to think the 400 within a 200 is for “look, I managed to reply to you. But there is bad news”
More useful would be what sort of values is acceptable there. Can I use team number 2318008? Can I use team 0? If not, why not? WHY / WHY NOT is often useful.
Same reason as usual : the music I like isn’t conveniently available elsewhere I’ve looked to purchase, or available at unreasonable prices that won’t benefit the artist, and I refuse to stream shit. So the high seas it is!
Next 20 years? Dude, I was being taught IPv6 back in 1997, as part of my network course. It was supposed to be the future back then, and so we were trained, expecting to have to implement it wherever we’d go work.
Yeah… I didn’t end up in networks, but I sure as shit did not see it used even once in my career so far. Not a single time. It’s kinda hilarious, really.
I was taught it around 1988, most likely on a Thomson MO5 ? Or maybe it was a TO9. It was a while ago :,) I just remember the fascination watching the little pixels color themselves and experimenting with the instructions to see what we could come up with.
If you like turtles and programming, you might enjoy hearing about LOGO.
Back in the day, that was the first programming language I was taught. Years and years before I’d learn C or ASM.
You’d give instructions to a “turtle”, moving it about the screen, drawing as it did so. It was a magical experience for 9yo me.
It was called The x86 Assembly Bible and I would not have been able to do much of anything without it.
Keeping their admin password in the history so they don’t have to alt+tab to their Secret Server webpage? W-who would do such a thing?!
Y’all haven’t heard of Windows clipboard history? Windows + V will change your life, I tell ya!
Yes, I’m well aware security is a team sport. All it takes is one person to make a mistake, once. I still remember that the Iloveyou virus penetrated our network back when I was in university, through the Unix lecturer…
Still fucking annoying though.
Although I do realise most of my annoyance comes from shitty configuration and poor human decisions. Oh, let’s run a full deep scan at 15:00 everywhere Friday. It’s not like the students will need to use those machines during their Comp. Science lab, right?
I cannot express how much I loathe antivirus software. Mostly it’s been because it has been nothing but trouble in my work environment, without ever catching anything, for over twenty years. It’s the modern corporate snake oil.
“Hello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?” pause “Is it plugged in?” pause “You’re welcome”
