If you know a way to move borderless windows, please tell me. I haven't found any.
Pick up your monitor and reposition as needed.

We'd rather denormalize it to hell
I'd post a "Why would you do that?" image macro, but it's too much work on mobile, so feel free to imagine your favorite one here.
Counterargument was: "Well, it's great for hirarchical data structures and fuzzy data!"
I'm not sure that the person knows what "fuzzy data" is and frankly, hirarchies get a bit of a pain even in NoSQL dbs when you stack beyond a 2nd level, nevermind an arbitrary number of layers - yes, you can write those. But then try querying for them.

Status: So, in other words.... we're so strapped for cash right now we can't pay for plastic cups anymore?!?
Find whoever used a hashtag in a company memo and murder them. Please. No one will convict you.
I would say "ask the idiot how much water is involved in washing these reusable containers and how does that compare to the 'carbon footprint' we're apparently saving".
But the answer would be "I don't give a fuck. That's YOUR water at home you'll be using. The company's carbon footprint (landfill specific) is going to go down-- on paper anyways. That's enough to earn us some carbon credit tax breaks-- which increase our profit-- which gives our CEOs a bonus. So fuck you."
Actually, water may be quite cheap compared to producing plastic cups. For several areas of the world (Germany among them) it doesn't make much of a sense to try to "save water" - we have plenty of it and the costs are largely fixed.
In fact, our water providers regularly have to "waste" water by flooding the pipes to prevent the water inside the pipes from becoming stagnant.
Heating the water, that's energy intensive. But water itself... not so much.

As @aliceif guessed, admins only. It's on the dashboard. There are other analytics type stuff there, but that one is often the most interesting to see what everyone is up to. Have a couple more examples:

DEPRECATION NOTICE
This package uses an older NPM which is no longer offered as a standalone package separately from NodeJS. It is recommended that you uninstall this package and the package nodejs.commandline in favor of nodejs.install (which nodejs package now points to)Huh?
nodejs
should have you covered. Check twice, maybe it's not on PATH for some reason.

i'm not using a copy at home. I am provisioning a workstation for the express purpose of remote accessing work to do my work on with my work MSDN license.
no, i'm not sure exactly how all those steam games got installed on the machine too, that's not the purpose of this machine. I'll remove those this weekend if i remember, that way i'm not tempted to use this work computer that was custom built by me out of my own pocket with kickass specs, for personal, non work, purposes. this is a work computer.

@Mikael_Svahnberg Mixing pointer and array syntax. You're TRWTF.

@accalia Yeah, if I was Microsoft, I wouldn't be worrying about random employee x installing an MSDN copy of Windows on their personal machine.
I'd be pissed at those subreddit sellers though. I considered purchasing from them, since it would have only cost me $20 for a Windows 7 license, but stealing MSDN codes from your workplace to sell to others is pretty scummy.

I assure you that explanation is not an accepted excuse by MS Licensing. I knew of a shop that was a competitor at a past job of mine - they were "selling" the same MSDN code to their customers with new PCs over and over, plus their staff was using MSDN codes for their own personal computers. When they got dinged and audited, MS Licensing fined them for both activities.
There's a pretty clear cut case for being able to use your employer's O365 licensing to cover your home computer, provided you're doing at least some work with the O365 applications. But the OS license is only an upgrade anyway (you'd still be obligated to have at least purchased the OEM Home license with the computer, at which point the MSDN Enterprise license could theoretically be installed), and if your employer doesn't own the PC, having an MSDN license on the PC is going to get dinged if audited.
Granted, it's like the risk of going 9 mph over the speed limit on a freeway where the rest of traffic is driving in a similar fashion. But it's still against the letter of the licensing.

@izzion Well, I assumed it was just my badge because of a paperwork SNAFU and what kind of idiot door contractor just wouldn't prop the thing open if it were totally fucked. So I got HR to cut me a new one.
Which didn't work.
So HR tried theirs. Which didn't work.
So Security tried theirs. Which doesn't work.And ain't nobody got actual keys.
And ain't no door contractors to be found (they have 4 trucks in the parking lot but nobody knows where they actually are. So much for all contractors must be escorted)
