#dotloop the contract signing website is just a lightweight wrapper around "someone else is editing your document" What a colossal pile of UX $#!+

TIL- If an ipad battery hits 1% (or some small %) it might switch to trickle charge. It will pull <0.00 amps for 24 hours before recharging. I also learned that you have to read a big xml doc to find an ipad's cycle count. They're rated for 1000 for pleasant use, ~1500 total
I will crush you like a box. I'll leave you in the hall way for three weeks, then the garage for four months, then forget you exist and I'll wonder why my garage doesn't have more space.
It means the computer now knows you but is helpless to stop doing what you keep asking it to do. https://twitter.com/winocm/status/1413783227446153220
Already did this, the trick is to specialize in bad ideas- https://x.com/search?q=%40mistersql%20IDEA&src=typed_query https://x.com/willystaley/status/1413535861568937985
I connect to VPN about 2600 times per year. I sort of think I should add that to my resume.
Bans & limits on non-competes. I've had to sign those before. I'm glad to see these serfdom-by-private-contract things get slapped down https://x.com/R_D/status/1413475032890634246
Email: "Users can't access their email with Outlook. If you are having problems accessing email with Outlook, consider using Outlook Web Access"
(right now, that is the only way to receive such an email)
IDEA: Extreme "Marie Kondo", where you search for items on Amazon that don't spark joy, order them and have them delivered directly to the county dump.
These jobs are fun because the specs are like "oh, just move this from here to there" and everyone is like, oh, about 10 minutes of work. And then you realize that all your code has to be written so it works with big data that doesn't fit in anything, everything times out, etc https://x.com/joshua_r_smith/status/1412897953170313230
So I've walked 0 stairs for 16 months. Now in a townhouse, every step down I take, my knees sound like a loud twig snapping in two.
Today one of them stopped making noise... and then I realize, oh, it's because it swole up.
It appears to be harmless, but it gives my wife the creeps it's so loud

OMG eating on zoom calls. This is physically the same as walking over to someone putting your mouth to their ear and eating.
Hey y'all lets do domain driven design with rich customer driven names for things. And let's do REST, so all API endpoints must be shoe horned into an active record/anemic domain model with just GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH and TRACE.

VB6/ASP will never die until the companies that use it are all hit with serious security crises. https://x.com/Aaronontheweb/status/1412423372030595080
Moving your home is like a forced vacation. I've barely been able to focus on work for like two weeks.

That's cute, RCN thinks they can keep me as an internet customer even though I've moved to a different state-- they provide no way to cancel service online. Wife says it is ironic that a ISP can't do all its transactions online.
Where did this stuff come from, a thread
Overbuying. Sometimes I leave stuff in my amazon cart for a week for a cooling off period.
♡ 2 ↻ 0Gifts. Really, I don't want gifts anymore. If you must, something consumable is best.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Folk in the building dumping junk on you as a favor. Really happened.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Hobbies (camping, exercise gear, swimming gear)- Hobbies are good, but moving the gear every 3 years is a pain.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Heirlooms. Special category of gift, except mom died with a moving van's worth of stuff.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Obsolescence. I got a box of CD/DVDs, now as handy as 8-tracks.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Growing up. These kids keep turning into new kids with a new set of cloths and toys.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Downsizing. Going from a big house to a small house, now you got too much stuff.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Upsizing. You moved to a bigger house with more bathrooms, so more bathroom kits, which means too much stuff when you downsize again.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Different sizing. Your possessions were bought because they were a really good fit for a place. Move & now you got stuff that doesn't fit or work, like bar stools in a house without a bar.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Wear and tear. Live long enough and stuff falls apart.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Throwing it all way (and rebuying it next year) isn't cost effective. You have to get to the root of the problem.
♡ 0 ↻ 0People change. Either literally, because you don't fit your old clothes or because your hobbies changed.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Combining households. Now everything is doubled up. Young people with no possessions have it easy.
♡ 0 ↻ 0Conclusion: This form of affluenza is certainly better than poverty, but it's a complex problem. Throw it all away just starts the cycle again.

Anyone to dissuade me from getting a bunch of Wyze cameras for home security? Computer security feels easier compared to wargaming home invations.
Unpacking a house gets exponentially more difficult, more odd ball stuff with no obvious place to put it. Just deciding what to do with each thing is a cognitive burden.

Someone needs to set up a job alert on Monster, etc for #Infinidash - just in case we need to start up this joke thread again in a few weeks.

My last two job searches took 24 hours and negative 24 hours respectively. Lengthy interview processes are only appropriate for marginal staff (they got a role too, sometimes they just need to find their niche). https://x.com/jjeffryes/status/1410655764373557260
The bigger and more important the decision, the more paralyzed a typical board is. You just can't get to 51% board vote with even a single person in the building going on a self-entitled rage campaign. https://x.com/m1db/status/1410588531009937411
You can't do SAFe without overtime during planning weeks. This methodology takes no consideration of human factors (how many hours of straight meeting you can handle at a time), nor human nature (realism about 4 months of granular planning at a time)
Amazon has figured out I've moved and I haven't even changed my address. I guess the auth system made me re-authenticate because my geocode IP says I'm in a new city.

Does #msteams a way to hide one's own face w/o turning off the camera?
Zoom has "Hide Self View"
No password policy: I pick a 40 character password, all lower case.
Password policy: minimum length, machine-generated generated pass
Still doesn't like it?: Low entropy human-generated pass that I can type
I can't really pick a long password (>15 char), unless it is all lower case, because sometimes you have to manually type in a password, so a 150 char, complex password is only practical with a password manager)

How many times should it work on my machine before it is ready for production
Why 0 & 1? Because this is a comp sci question.
