@coderpatsy Thanks though, the follow up(s) clarify. A bit.

@BernieTheBernie said in Pay peanuts or chicken feed: How many Indian "sofwtare specialists" would be willing to take software job abroad The point isn't to pay foreigners a reasonable wage, no matter how the "Fachkräftemangel" talk makes you believe that. The point is to drive the price down with the alternatives of not paying well here or outsourcing because you "can't find anyone" here.

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Don't-Interpret-My-Dreams Thread: I'm certain this dream was entirely unrelated to watching Fast and Furious 5 just before going to bed. Ah yes, Fast and Spurious...

@Gern_Blaanston Interesting that you mention Barbie, whose middle name is the same as Millie's first.

@pcooper said in Is there a guide to certificate algorithms?: It's also worth knowing that ECDSA uses curves that have parameters hand-picked by NIST Fifty years ago, NIST hand picked S-boxes for DES, and it turned out that they tweaked them to be resistant to attacks that only NIST knew. Today, there's not so much trust that they will be as ethical, especially after they were already caught breaking Dual_EC_DRBG in exactly this way.

@LaoC said in Nope: @remi said in Nope: @DogsB when something is literally orders of magnitude (10x or 100x) more expensive than another variety of something, you can be almost certain that it is not that amount of times better. At that stage, the price difference is purely a marker of "I can afford it" rather than quality. The best status symbols have negative use value, like gold leaf on your dessert that tastes either like nothing or like tinfoil, a Lamborghini on a Lao city street, or a diamond ring that never leaves the safe. We had a pizza place in Sweden in an area where the affluent bought summer homes that served gold leaf pizzas, among other things. Their entire business idea was to get the kids of the super rich to come there to eat pizza for bragging rights, on daddy's dime. And they were entirely open and honest about this being the business idea. I don't know if they still exist, but they hung around for a few years at least. All the ingredients were the most expensive version of what you'd put on normal pizza. For no difference in quality. I think a single pizza was something like €11k

@HardwareGeek you definitely heard of their spin-off project even if you didn’t hear of any of their actual games. Basically, their games didn’t exactly sell massively well (probably because they weren’t particularly good) but they had the bright idea to found a little project to raise awareness of their games by hitching them to other games, and in the process founded Humble Indie Bundle, later Humble Bundle, later the Humble Store.

@Zecc said in Help Bites: Sie haben die maximal zulässige Anzahl an Blinkernutzungen überschritten So maybe there's a horizontal gradient atop the conical gradient? I don't think that's it as I think the seam transitions smoothly from soft to hard. But anyway, your attempt looks pretty damn close. EDIT: wait, maybe yours does that too. Doesn't quite look like it to me, but I'm not sure.

(Mind you, progress on that comic has come to a screeching halt now that the creator is working on an animated series for the comic.) That's that I was thinking of but couldn't remember the name!

I wouldn't necessarily say, "encourages this," but "facilitates this" or "makes this too easy" are definitely on the cards. Atlassian absolutely encourages you to use JIRA in these ways if you can stomach any of the marketing shite they serve up.

@izzion that’s a Bjorn conspiracy they indulge in to feel good about themselves.

@Bulb well it is a bad idea and the proposers should feel bad.

Further costs savings: measure voltage over the speaker, so it can act as a (terrible) microphone. Remove one of the buttons in favour of the user screaming at the device. I feel like I would be willing to pay more for this feature.

@kazitor I knew there was at least one such logo that I was semi-familiar with, but couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks! Now I'm pretty sure there are other(s), based on how many close-but-not-quite matches any search for e.g. "square logo" returns, including a lot of stock images (so basically "hey business owner without any graphical skills, here's simple stuff you could use"). Any other suggestions?

@boomzilla Voyager 1's distance from Earth complicates the troubleshooting effort. The one-way travel time for a radio signal to reach Voyager 1 from Earth is about 22.5 hours, meaning it takes roughly 45 hours for engineers on the ground to learn how the spacecraft responded to their commands. "Hey! Get back to work!" "Debugging!" "Oh. Carry on."

@Arantor said in Is updating dependencies frequently still good advice?: @boomzilla said in Is updating dependencies frequently still good advice?: @Arantor said in Is updating dependencies frequently still good advice?: @Jaime considering that I’m writing the app in PHP and got this shit foisted on me in passing, no. It’s a web app. It has web shit on the front of it. Which means I’m fucking doomed, forever, to deal with this clusterfuck of an ecosystem because every fucking thing in it relies on Node even when it’s not a Node app. Meh. No ISVM report, no problem! I did wonder at first what the International Society for Viruses of Microorganisms had to do with it - plenty of packages in the ecosystem qualify as microorganisms. Then I remembered the IT version, and left myself a note to run npm audit on Monday to see if my ecosystem has gotten a vulnerability this week. What are we going to do today, @Arantor? The same thing we do every Monday, Dashie. Oh boy, checking npm for vulnerability reports!

@BernieTheBernie said in Windows Server?: @loopback0 said in Windows Server?: Azure only has Enterprise IIRC but standalone it's the same control over updates as Pro unless Azure forces them. Actually none. In order to control updates, the machine must be in a domain. I do not have a domain, so... You can edit "local" group policy (which is what I believe you're referring to) without being joined to a domain in all editions from Pro up.
