But in all seriousness people aren't really allowed to sleep around with people in the office? This is news to me.
It's mostly fine just as long as it's consensual, as long as neither of you is higher up in the org chart than the other (or there's sufficient lateral separation that neither of you could reasonably affect the other's job and be accused of favoritism/ass kissing), and as long as it (the relationship, or its eventual demise) doesn't create drama in the workplace between either of you and/or your other coworkers.
In other words, it's a really bad idea and you probably shouldn't.

I mean, if you can last 5 whole minutes, you should have a lawyer to help you patent a performance drink made from your blood.

It's more a matter of not knocking boots with someone who reports to you.Since, by default, that's a lost lawsuit for wrongful termination / discrimination / wrongful lack of promotion when the junior decides that the company didn't treat them fairly.
Or another junior thinks the first one got special treatment. Not to mention harassment if your person of interest isn't interested. And even if he/she/it is interested, there's a high probability of a lot of really unpleasant situations in the office when the relationship ends. It's just a bad idea for a whole bunch of reasons.

I know you're not supposed to shit where you eat and office romance is always fucky but I was just suggesting flirting and possibly some action on a boring day who s watching a goddamn progress bar to kill time. Special occasion!
-
@stillwater Yeah I can't get off without a progress bar around either.

(writes note: maintaining an erection for more than four hours may be a sign of impending tissue damage and is not normal... )

Status: my scent has been changing over the last few months. I have decided I don't like my new odor. Washing doesn't help.
I'm wondering if it's my attempts to change my diet to be more "healthy"? Those fish oil pills probably don't do favours either....

@ChaosTheEternal said in The Official Status Thread:
Status: End of day problem I've put off til tomorrow, trying to look into why, on our ASP.NET site, some Android devices are treating
<input type=number>
as<input type=tel>
despite the spec saying that unsupported types should fall back to text.I'm not ruling out .NET fuckery, thinking the Android devices don't support number, but the question in that case, if that is the case, is "why the fuck do you think 'telephone' is an acceptable fallback?"
Attach a network sniffer to find out what .NET is actually sending out?

Me: "ah... it took me a while, but it's such a beautifully designed and implemented system. There's no way it can have any significant bugs, with how careful I was"
Me one week later: "HOW DID I MANAGE TO MAKE LITERALLY EVERY CORE FUNCTION WRONG"

@anotherusername couldn't find it, and it was a status I have, so here it goes!

@PleegWat The issue is happening for one specific site, on a server that runs dozens of sites, if not over a hundred currently, in a cluster of 3 servers behind a load balancer, which handles, likely, hundreds of thousands of requests an hour, in a data center we have no access to.
If I had a device that exhibited the problem, it'd be easier to just debug from it, but I don't.

when something happens to it.
Status: Now writing and naming said happening functions.
To add a resolution link, I useCHAR_Complaints_Resolve
(because that will be the primary avenue to do this).
To delete a resolution link I.... have no idea what to name it.CHAR_Complaints_DeResolve
?Oh well, good enough. It probably won't be used much anyways...

@anonymous234 Well there's an expression I haven't seen for Give Me All Your Money... Hmm, I only have $2 in mine... guess it's already slim!

@anonymous234 said in The Official Status Thread:
What's the fucking obsession with advertisers and slim wallets?
They're so damn persistent about it. For many years I've been seeing "Slim your bulky wallet!" ads. I've never once cared about my wallet being bulky, but clearly they're going to keep trying until I do.
Just convert all your money into Qs!

Nice functions you have there; it'd be a shame if something happened to them.

Any non-contacts-related app that asks for contacts wants to find friends to connect me with. I can't think of any where that's not the case.
Well, I mean, that doesn't mean that they won't also upload your contacts list to their server and then sell it to some third party who's mapping out social connections so they can get better ad targeting.
Yeah, but they're not about to tell you that. I'm talking about stated reasons.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Status Thread:
Actually, the permissions get shown after you hit the install button, in a confirmation dialog. Just to make sure you've read them.
Personally, I read the permissions on the store (which, AIUI, cannot be customized to explain why the app wants the permission) before I even install an app. And 99% of apps I think I might want get a giant "NOPE!!!!" because they either have in-app ads or want permissions they don't need; so they don't get installed.
Exactly. Working as designed.
Wait, what don't you like about in-app ads? Would you rather pay for all your apps?

I haven't seen that one, but my commute involves only about 100m of 101, so I don't see much in the way of billboards on a regular basis.
