If your VPN can't resolve any DNS names when active, then you don't need any session limits, you will have to drop VPN to get DNS continually. Security teams dream: no more work, just entering passwords nonstop 8 hours a day.
Two rental app rejections under our belt, they are now officially commodities to me-- chances of getting any particular house is too. No point in getting attached to or excited about any particular house.
20 years ago you could get a townhouse for $100k and a car for $10k. Now it's like 500 & 50, but I'm doing apples to oranges comps-cars & houses are somewhat bigger & better & incomes are up-for me. Still breaks my brain, the month payments all seem reckless compared to 2000
I have to respect business people that pay these eye popping valuations for companies and just don't go out of business, because if I was doing that, I'd be all, like, "No this company is not worth $75 million, I mean, in 1998 I could buy a shoes for $20"
♡ 2 ↻ 0With today's prices, I feel sort of like being abroad- 50,000 rubles for a candybar?! Outrageously large number of zeros! I have no idea if that is expensive or not, after all, candybar prices in the US only have two zeros after the decimal!

Cheapest Sienna on Toyota website $35K
Actual avail level Sienna $45K ($35K ones nowhere to be found)
Price to drive off the lot $51K (Mostly sales tax + nuisance "fees")
Buying a new car, looks like I'm overpaying by 6%, but at least everyone else in the country is too.
It's a HYBRID Sierra, so you can't revoke my cool card. I'm still cool. I'M STILL COOL.
Rental applications fired off. I feel like I'm reserving a hotel, except it is for a year. I guess I'm missing the "visit 20 similar properties and picking the last one" experience.
What is the easiest CLI auth system for python? So far I'm thinking some sort of social media auth.
Can't use XXX as a wildcard, (culture reasons?) but regex isn't exactly something everyone would recognize either.
e.g.
http://Math.XXX() vs Math.(^\\s*([A-Z]+-[0-9]+):?\\p{Z}+\\S+.)

Deltek/Costpoint is just a treasury of bad UX. It should be studied by all.

This is why if you are pro-WFH, you should be pro-metrics. If you are anti-metrics & your org is antimetrics, people are going to measure your productivity by inputs (hours visibly at the office). https://x.com/Forbes/status/1397643798361092096

Look, right here is a chart, it shows you can build a house in 20 weeks and you know in advance what is happening each step. Therefore, when SOFTWARE developers say they don't know how long it takes they are lying or need to estimate better.

Someone should write debate rules for twitter. All debates would be one-sided with one person following debate rules & the other just doing gish gallop & trying to get the other person to do the same, but it would still be better argumentation than you see now.
ref: Gish Gallop, flooding a debate with tangents, sometimes with a goal of winning a debate, or on twitter, I think it mostly happens by accident.

#python thought... if I don't fake visibility keywords, dead code analyzers can't be expected to work.
So for aerosol spread diseases if you are in a room with an infected person in 4 hours you probably have it too. Masks (which people are stopping wearing) and ventilation (which energy-efficient buildings don't have) turn it into hit or miss.

There is a stackoverflow q where someone got this to work using functools wrappers and an explicit "self" variable.

SO I CAN watch everyone tweet with it, "please stop replying to all!"
You can't retire it, it's built into the operating system. There was a whole antitrust lawsuit about this. Unrelated OS apps took dependencies on ie binaries, so I'd imagine it will always be there, like fossil viruses in our DNA https://x.com/verge/status/1395056616693772289

C# wasted its syntactic sugar on crappy arrays when it needed syntactic sugar for List<T> and Dictionary<TKey,TValue>. Hmm, let's pick out the worst, least used collection type and give it special syntax. #csharp
Here is how Domino can fix this.

Surely this is creating an evolutionary arms war, there must be a body of literature on "How to stop your SAFe teams from subverting & circumventing SAFe" and *that* is what us developers & people with code to ship should be studying & doing *in reverse*.
watching another "agile is dead (because it turned into waterfall)"- So they say, "Projects in WF succeed because the people subverted & circumvented the formal process" TEACH ME THAT! How do we subvert & circumvent scrumerfall & waterfall to success?!
Yeah, fine that "real agile" calls for a transformation of how purchasing and project financing is done, but that is out of my span of control.
