@gsdt Well aware, but if updates are fucking with group policy on workgroup-only boxes, having that policy set from on high by a DC seems like the only way to make it do what its told.

Until an update silently resets that policy (which demonstrably DID happen to me as of the last release) and changes all my default programs around.

This is a home machine, it's not joined to a domain, and I'm not going to invest in a goddamn server license and manage a DC just so I can stop Windows from being retarded.

Microsoft not respecting my settings is the #1 reason I dislike Windows right now.

@gsdt Eventually it'll ignore you and reboot anyways.

No update ever made is worth me losing the work I have open.

SVN has a habit of corrupting its database under hard-to-understand circumstances, and then you're completely screwed.

If you're gonna go with a centralized system, might as well jump in both feet first and go for Perforce.

One of the levels of hell for techies is being forced to watch newbies work with programs you're intimately familiar with

Fixed as of October 2020. Jeez...

Did they just embed the graphs from Wunderground? That layout looks very familiar.

Mozilla is going to shit. They need to calm down and focus on the only product they have that's worth a crap.

Being added to projects that are not within my skillset and being expected to be an expert on them in short amounts of time, and resultant looking like an idiot in front of customers.

Misato always promises fan service, but it never comes. That's part of the joke :)

@kescherRant

Lying about technical knowledge that was called out specifically in the job posting though? I'd think that "don't say you know $thing if you don't know $thing" would be common sense.

True story: Last job I got, I sent the hiring manager the "printable" view from my Stack Overflow jobs profile. It worked, and they even complimented the format it was in!

Got curious about "Facebook Lite", found the app store page.. realized it's not available in the USA :(

@mt3o Mostly agreed, but I've been personally bitten by a couple of those issues. One is how string words like "yes", "on", and "true" (and a few others) evaluate to a boolean True, and another is the fact that 1.0.0 is a string but 1.0 is a number.

YAML often violates the principle of least surprise.

Perhaps most annoying is significant whitespace combined with a strict prohibition on using tabs.

@NoToJavaScript Looks like Azure's answer to DynamoDB. It's neat, but I'd rather have something I could run on my own servers. Using cloud services for hobby projects always worries me that I'll do something wrong and rack up a huge bill.

No good alternatives. Quora also has a better community than some other sites out there (looking at you, Stack*).

I never understood the rage at the login thing. Just freaking log in and you have a cookie set and don't have to think about it.

Im more against this idea because DNS is a system level setting and ought to be respected, rather than each app being a special snowflake.

@Brolls I know. But this was my first time using this app, and those are some godawful defaults.

Thing is, both senses of “POS” usually apply to this kind of software...

(The engineer in question is not me, he's a very good friend, though.)

@Avyiel That might be enough to get away with running a Kubelet...

Wowwww! 4 euro a month gets you 4 gigs! My main gripe with DO is how they never give you enough RAM. I might be right behind you migrating here....

uBlock has a list for those cookie things, enable “fanboy’s annoyances list”

They’re just as annoying as ads and deserve the same treatment.

SVN is merely okay...

...until the BDB that backs it shits itself, and then you’re in for a fun time

Hot take:

Yeah, you don’t *need* JQuery, but it’s small, ubiquitous, and makes many tasks easier.

Extra points when that thing you mistyped was the IP address of your DNS server. You know, for that double "It was DNS" whammy.

What the installer said I'd have:

ಠ_ಠ

What I got:

Wait, it gets better! Why does the 6.7 installer create an image of version 6.5?

@dontbeevil Most users don't have SMB open to the internet, so there wasn't a realistic way for most people to become infected. Note the usual victims of Wananacry were corporations.
