Code proof or it didn’t happen.

Extra credit for doing it in Ruby

I work with a guy like this. Lead his icebreaker with “I don’t understand people so don’t expect me to interact with you.”

He’s the most brilliant person I’ve ever worked with. His knowledge is encyclopedic. He will show you how what you’re asking is idiotic in as few words as is necessary. He has no fear of manager or customer.

He has my eternal allegiance.

I used to work at a “Big Data” company that sold browsing data to a ton of companies. One problem the dev team ran into was that the standard ad-blocking plugins that they’d install on their machines also blocked our stuff, so my support team would have to inform them of bugs.

Lots of fun stories from that job.

If you scaled it based on the size of the integer you could get that up to 99.9% test accuracy. Like if it’s less than 10 give it 50% odds of returning false, if it’s under 50 give it 10% odds, otherwise return false.

They tried that but as spam filters got more prevalent people would miss things.

Then you have the threads where some replies to all and then everyone else replies to all telling them not to reply all.

I think it’s a great use for the fediverse. Government institutions have their own mastodon servers.

I missed out on a lot of communication for my kids’ extracurriculars because they were only on Facebook and I don’t use it. It’s infuriating, but less infuriating than the other platforms that a couple of the groups used to attempt to communicate schedules and requirements.

It’s ridiculous that this sort of thing isn’t a solved problem. Schools need to communicate with parents in an effective way, yet none of the platforms I’ve used work well. I’ve been in tech for decades and I still have trouble with their shitty UI.

I’ve had a customer ask for me by saying “get us that guy who looks like Gilfoyle, he’s the only one who seems to know what’s going on.”

Though I am polyamorous, have been associated with the occult, have long hair and a beard, and wear rectangular glasses, so I can understand how they’d be mistaken.

I knew from the very first scene. Some company had just got bought so they had a big party and paid Kid Rock to play. But everybody was in polos and khakis and wanted to have quiet conversations and Kid gave up halfway through the first song.

I was at that party. It wasn’t Kid Rock, but I was at that party

The #2 reason I’m still on a Mac is because I prefer the look of its UX. Can you recommend a good window manager/theme that replicates macOS Sequoia?

And also one that will replicate system 7 because I am an old and nostalgic man.

I’ve been in the tech/startup world since the early ‘00s and I can definitively say you best start believin’ in Silicon Valley episodes; you’re in one.

All those pixels and I still can’t figure out how the cables are attached to the wall.
