I'm working on overcoming my social anxiety, and I'm on vacation time until the 4th.
Would anyone in the DFW area want to meet up for lunch or something in the next week or so?

No Full Stack Developer yet?
Probably, but not in the last few days. That I remember, anyway. One a few days ago had 4 completely irrelevant job listings. The lead sonogram technician is the only one of the 4 I remember, and it looks like I deleted the email. Edit: I didn't really delete it, like I usually do, just moved it to the Trash folder. I was wrong; there were 4 other jobs besides the lead sonography technician: software administrator, senior network engineer, business development analyst, and principal software engineer. No full-stack developer.
Gonna assert that that Principal position has "full stack" if not "full-stack" in the body, and at very least contains both "full" and "stack".

Use protection.
The Oauth consent screen already did that.
Apparently the "privilege" of using my own account to upload to my own YouTube (but using Google APIs) is not available unless I go through a six-month audit process whereupon idiots ask questions that were answered in the ingress form and expect comparatively instantaneous responsiveness from the user from their weeks-long delays.

That sounds like course 6 or 7 of their slow roll garden wall.

Halo 3's concluding warthog run wasn't as annoying as Halo : CE's equivalent. But still aggravating. Hate those things. Gimme a tank or ghost any day. And never did find out how to land the human flying craft properly, ended up jumping out at altitude each time.

I'm reminded that warthog means something entirely different in this context.
I'm also reminded this is not the first time this has been stated and also clarified, likely in this very thread.I could find it to satisfy my curiousity,

Also, I want to order some other colors of resin, but I know I won't get those until the middle of next month, at the earliest, because they're out of stock.
I've been getting promotional emails from the place I bought a bunch of filaments from a few weeks ago, and I want to get a bunch more colours but I'm holding off for a bit since I've been spending a lot on 3d printing stuff lately.
-
Status: Hoping the right shoes are delivered. I suddenly noticed a slight color mismatch in the "white" parts in the stock photos that aren't in any other site's stock photos.
Also apparently going to get a call about a Go/Golang position this afternoon. The claim is they want to teach C# and Java developers to use it for their projects. I fully expect to eventually be turned down for not already knowing it though.

It's not too complicated, and will be mostly familiar except for:
- They have a totally different (better!) way of doing inter-thread communication than most developers are used to.
- They have weird ideas about interfaces. They're not exactly wrong, but they are definitely weird.
- No exceptions. (This is a deal-breaker for me; I want the compiler to generate most of the error handling code, thankyouverymuch.)
The slow bit will be learning the standard library and tooling environment.

I actually wanted to work on my Reversi game, which is also hosted on the bot server.
I wonder if I killed it somehow.

Never mind, I guess it was a network outage. Uptime indicates the process never stopped.

I'm not sure I'm following the problem - isn't the phrase for someone who's celebrating their birthday just "someone who's celebrating their birthday"?
@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

"wish(ed)" as in "Gaska wished error a happy birthday" or "Gaska wants to wish error a happy birthday".

Without all the diacritics, someone might be able to type or pronounce the words correctly, and we can't have that.

Yes and that's exactly the problem. It's the difference between "a winner is you" and "a person who won the competition is you".

Google
BeatboxTranslate from "aniversariante" produces "birthday person". Seems cromulent to me ESL ears. /shrug
-
@Zecc more googling indicates that "birthday person" sounds super weird and kinda creepy to native speakers. However, "birthday boy" and "birthday girl" seem to be widely used, but I refuse to use those for anyone over 15.
-
Also for the record Google Tranny returns "osoba urodzinowa"* as the Polish translation of Portuguese "aniversariante".
Which you will now tell me is hilariously wrong.

I'm pretty sure we at least have German or Latin English words for those things in American.
I think
salutatorian
literally means that last, even. As for the first, just go ahead and hyphenate "birthday-$Diminutive", e.g.birthday-pony
.All your words in specific are also belong to us.

“Birthday boy” or “birthday girl”. Yes, even if they're retirees.

I think "he's 4 years old" version is even darker. Just look at their size.

I've never heard the phrase "birthday boy" even once in my entire life, so it certainly doesn't look like it's just my problem.

"Annuarian"? That seems like a word. Here you go, English.
