I guess being in a release crunch can isolate you from news...
I mean, I was on a release crunch too (We released on Monday! Which was also the last day of finals! I'm bad at timing!) but I wear multiple hats, so I couldn't avoid it.

Status: Uh, wow. Totally didn't notice my personal site was down. Whoops.
Somehow installing some package automatically upgraded openssl. And of course, that meant that programs relying on libssl.so.8 (or whatever) to be present would segfault and not start up. This includes nginix.
Now I'm wondering what else needs updating that's not blaring alarms at me...

@accalia i have MVC 2 sites that I don't need to upgrade and still using VS 2008. You know why that works because I can use msbuild to fill in the gaps for most of the newer tooling with an afterbuild event with node or something similar. It all runs on the 4.5 CLR fine.
sure. totes agreee.
only M$ doesn't think we own the licenses for VS <2017 and they audited oru site license so we have their attention. it's literally cheaper to convert to 2017 than it is to pay for the retroactive licenses that we already have but the M$ audit for some reason doesn't think we paid for. i suspect because we never paid for the old licenses under the corporate account but through what turned out to be the personal account of the manager we shitcanned two years ago
or some shenanigains like that. i'm not privy to the details. i just got handed the instructions to convert or else i have to pay all the back licensing out of our departments funds. the funds i wanted to use to increase headcount to avoid driving me to drink..
There's back version licensing on MSDN accounts?
Or are you guys somehow buying Visual Studio licenses that AREN'T MSDN accounts?
fuck if i know. it's not like they actually tell me anything.
half the info i have is informed speculation based on observed facts.

Think this forum would appreciate the ic dickweedery of a point I've had to make a couple times today.
While disclosing code-word classified material can cause exceptionally grave harm to national security and I doubt anyone's sanguine about that, it's a contradiction in terms to say a sitting President can "leak" classified information or can have committed a crime in disclosure. The President is the source of original classification authority. It's like saying you didn't authorize yourself to go to the bathroom.
That said, is , of course.

I don't think the framers of the legislation ever thought that a President would go round blurting it all out on Twitter. The only way to obscure anything appears to be to make it too complicated to fit in 140 characters…

Status: May have upset some of my pupils today.
I was drawing a rough sketch on the table to illustrate how an optical lattice will diffract white light, resulting in a rainbow pattern with the higher order maxima partially overlapping each other. Which meant drawing some coloured, parallel lines.
Which prompted some of my pupils to jokingly accuse me of being part of a conspiracy because said lines were looking a bit like a barcode and it seems that there's a new conspiracy theory which claims that the lines in all barcodes are actually antennas.
Yeah.
Anyway, this prompted a small excursion on my part on the topic of weird beliefs wherein I included homeopathy. Which in turn caused two other pupils to bristle indignantly.
Too bad this is my Physics class and not Chemistry, it makes it a bit harder to completely blow this out of the water :)
But I'll find a way...

Just got invited to a two-day conference for business women. No issues with that but I checked the itinerary and the two days include
- three fashion shows
- two dancing lessons
- a diet lesson
- a talk about how to buy luxury pearls
- a talk about how burnout affects 'our' sexuality
- a talk about the healing power of gold and silver in cosmetics
-
@coldandtired Is the conference about reinforcing outdated stereotypes in the modern world?
-
@RaceProUK I charitably hoped that those were all from the sponsors.

@Arantor On the subject of multiple colours, I've Stylish'd it so every SockDev has their own colour: yours is orange, @accalia's is pink, mine's purple, and @Yamikuronue's would be red if she didn't have 'MOD' instead
