@Yamikuronue and this shit is the kind of reason I stay on PHP where we have a sane package manager and less fucked up semantics in a lot of ways (and we're actively fixing ours rather than bolting shiny semantic shit on that just confuses everyone who doesn't use this week's transpiler)

@Arantor Also, JavaScript on the backend is

Um... Visual Studio, why are you searching my DVD drive for symbols?

@Maciejasjmj Well, it found some, didn't it?

@Yamikuronue
That is a rather impressively Discoursian level of . I especially like that a couple of the NoDevs show up early in the thread like "oh yeah, this was by design" and then just NOPE the fuk out of the thread. And more than a year later a different NoDev shows up like "yeah, we want to revert this, but think of the package dependencies!!! "

Oh my. The rabbit hole keeps going deeper. I had originally posted only halfway through the base issue. And there's (at least) four subsequent issues open for it and it got can-kicked all the way from 1.2 to 4.0. Yikes!

I found this out because I use a module called Publish-please. This puts in a prepublish script in your package.json that calls
publish-please guard
which, if you are trying to runnpm publish
, yells at you to usenpm run publish
or just callpublish-please
directly.Except on Travis CI or on the machine of a new developer to the project. If they don't have publish-please globally installed, it's impossible to install it, because pre-installation, it runs prepublish, and calls publish-please, which doesn't exist, and fails.

Go through the process stack (PPID) and extract the command line from npm. If it wasn't "npm publish", print a message about how dumb npm is instead of calling a nonexistent command.
-
@ben_lubar I believe publish-please already does this; it doesn't say a word when you run an install command. But it can't be installed before it's installed :(
Travis has a
before_install
hook that I can use to install a tool it won't ever need to work around npm's bullshit

You have no idea how much this sort of rule can cause problems. I've worked with a solution where the remote partner company had a rule where every time one of their techs logged into a (single, shared) admin account to manage stuff on the hosted network, they would change the password for the admin account at the end of their troubleshooting session. And then the hosted network changed their AD rules to enforce password expiration and history, including the fairly typical 1 day minimum password age to go with that. At which point every time the remote partner company logged in, their system would update the stored credentials, and not catch the error AD threw back that "you can't change your password" and then lock themselves out because now the two passwords were out of sync.It took fooooooooooorever to identify the root cause of that problem.
Emmm... I thought it's obvious that I just join them to make fun of these rules...

@anonymous234 Just tried with “1m timer” (10 minutes is too long!) and got some odd shopping suggestions. What a timer has to do with turf, heaters and electrical cords, I can't really guess.

Dunno man, if that's the case I think YouTube's algos are working better than expected. I mean, didn't watch it, but with the way these things usually go I expect that in the movie they keep pounding it.
Pounding it.

@DCoder wasn't that one of the first games from Westwood post-EA-ification?
-
@Arantor I think so, but it was from before the Borg had completely replaced all the programmers with pod people.
-
@dkf EA = Everyone Assimilated?
-
@Arantor correct, EA acquired them in 1998, during development of Tiberian Sun – the game they released before RA2. But Westwood used their own game engine between 1995 (Tiberian Dawn) and 2001 (RA2: Yuri's Revenge).
Only with Generals, in 2003, did they get a new engine.

@DCoder ah, so it's been a shitfest for a while, I see.

Just tried with “1m timer”
Probably parsed 1m as 1 metre and then did its best with the results.

That was understandable for the 1000mm timber result. :) Going from “timer” to turf though…

@cartman82 Nothing wrong with that.

Not sure how many people know about this as it has apparently been a known issue for a long time:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/5gk6af/you_and_your_users_should_immediately_disable/
Confirmed on my own and my mom's accounts - logging in with old skype username+password also logs you into Microsoft account and bypasses 2FA. You have to reset your password through Skype in incognito (when not logged in to either) and the accounts will finally merge, then you can disable skype username as a login method and enable 2FA etc. - also note that if you have the Microsoft Authenticator app, you might still have 2FA disabled (in which case it is only required sometimes).Microsoft?

@LB_ Thanks for the heads-up: my account was the same.
Needless to say, it's now secured properly.
-
@LB_ I have no idea whether I have a Skype account linked (if I do, it doesn't show up on the page).
Although, to get to that page, I followed these steps:
- Click link in article
- Verify that address bar has
login.live.com
as its domain - Read page
To verify that you are really ben.lubar@gmail.com, please enter your password:
[******************_____] - Click the submit button
- Read page
To verify that you really are the account you're trying to log into, an email containing a code will be sent to be******@gmail.com. Please enter the full address below to verify that you know it.

Yes, and when I click on it, it brings me here:

GG Reddit.
My Skype was already compromised back in 2012, they apparently set the password to something new, but since I'm linked I can't changed the password for the Skype name side, so Hopefully whoever did it back then didn't share the new password, 'cause I couldn't recover it despite having active access to the MS Account side...
-
@Tsaukpaetra you should be able to go through the password reset process. I was able to do it since I didn't remember the password and it just required two forms of authentication (email and authenticator app / backup code).

Yeah. Been there, done that. Asked me to verify personal information which was taken directly from the profile page, got a support email, they said sorry they couldn't verify me.
That dance is probably long over.

Good job, Google.
They obviously tested their technology thoroughly before releasing it to the public.
This is Google. They release a product, have millions of
idiotsusers populate it with free data (for free), report thousands of bugs (for free)-- often on social media with the easy to search #FuckGoogle. And then if there are still people using it, they have a working product. Or not. It doesn't matter. What really matters is that millions of people gave up marketing data for Google to sell.

@ben_lubar Navigate to sign-in preferences and if your Skype username is there, untick it.
If not: log into it and see what the username is. Then do the incognito reset process, and then do the above.
-
and if your Skype username is there
it's not
If not: log into it and see what the username is
It's been years since I used Skype. I don't have any computer that might be logged into it right now. I have no idea if there's a Skype account that could be associated with my Microsoft account.

It wasn't for me or my mom either, but it still worked to bypass 2FA.

But just earlier you posted a screenshot that showed you could log into it with your MS account...?

I find it
intensely frustratinggreatly fascinating that it refuses to let me associate my email address with my Microsoft account. Apparently it's a “reserved domain” (because yes, it's my corporate address; that's what I use Skype for). It also won't let me do anything else meaningful until I add an email address. FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!
