This is going to be expensive, isn't it?
And wouldn't you know it, BY DEFAULT Google will happily assume you want to do the most expensive thing. I.e.:
Do I need contact details? No, this is a home address lookup. Somehow that came up twice. What about atmospheric data? Nope! What the fuck is that even?
So in theory this will be used by every attendee during registration. If there are 2k registrations, that means as minimum of 2k requests, which means some odd $30 or so.
I must now ponder if $30 is worth the convenience of adding this feature to the registration form...
It means that either you or Google couldn't read the atmosphere.

Are you sending them something to their home address? Or why do you need home addresses of attendees?

On occasion, yes. For instance, there was a problem with sponsor perks last year and we had to ship out one of the items to about 300 attendees since they didn't arrive in time for the con.
-
@Tsaukpaetra Ok, fair, that makes sense. (A lot of conferences/events ask for addresses during registration, but don't ever seem to do anything with them, other than occasionally including country or city on the badge, together with a company name or something. In that case, the whole Google API thing would have seemed a bit overkill.)
-
a bit overkill.
Yeah. At the moment, the form is just plain text fields, but since I'm redesigning the site to be more mobile friendly (and for some reason Google isn't picking up the fields for autofill... ) I decided "Why not use the autofill thing from Google Maps?"

I guess you don't have electronic ID cards?
Does a electronic passport that literally nobody has a reader for count?

I guess not and passport is something most people don't carry around anyway. In other words, you are fucked because reading ID cards would have been much simpler.
Yeah, go and complain to the government.

Who decided to name Kubernetes K8s?
Somebody who thinks 10 letters is too much, but couldn't make a TLA because it is not enough words.
And how did it gain traction?

Should we call Docker D4r and Windows W5s too?
Y1S. D8y!

A guy in sweden had a peek at the web interface for the school. And finds a treasure trove in data leaks on the entire staff, past and present, every child in the school and lots of funsies.
I'll see if I can't find an english writeup, but that first picture says it all really.Oh wait, it's worse.
It's a data leak of 140 000 students, 23000 teachers and 200000 parents and care takers...
Cool.

@Carnage Not finding any english writeups so far, I might do one later today or tomorrow if someone is interested.

@Carnage Tried to find out who's responsible for the software, and Google found the following press statement https://www.novasoftware.se/om-nova-software/nyhetsarkiv/Narvaro-och-franvarohantering-i-Stockholms-stad/. It's a 404 now (but archive.org has it).
And here I was thinking that it was hard to do worse than your typical university "learning platform".

The full name is ridiculous too,
if you're going to make up a wordFine, it's a Greek word; because that makes perfect sense, as the majority of their customers are Greek, right? then why in the hell would you choose something unpronounceable and that no-one is going to be able to remember/spell to Google itCoo-ber-nets ??

Unrolled at threadreaderapp.com and then translated at translate.google.com (with emoji corrections by me):
Yesterday I thought to look a little closer at the #school platform technically from a user's perspective. Little findings follow.
It is SLOW! It's not unusual for requests to take 5-10 seconds to execute against the backend.All in all, the whole service becomes like syrup.
Some developers have apparently led during the development process. Here is a comment from a JS file that indicates abandonment.
"I have no idea where in this mud this is going to lie" does not feel confidence inspiring directly.
Any request often gives several 404. Nothing unusual on the Web maybe, but typical carelessness.By mimicking a little (extremely little) with the calls to the backend, I can get out the social security numbers of all the teachers my son has or has had in school.
By the way, it seems that I can get out names and social security numbers of ALL teachers in Stockholm city.
And students.
And their ratings.Ratings do not actually seem to go. One must be happy for the little one.
This is the rating in Swedish for a child who is not mine. Level 2 means "More than approved" according to their own code:"levels": ["Does not yet reach an acceptable level of knowledge", "Reaches an acceptable level of knowledge", "Reaches more than an acceptable level of knowledge"],
Forgot the picture. This is what the data looks like for an unnamed child (although I know the name clearly, I can get that too)

@People-who-are-not-abarker is an old group for those of us who were interested in discussing his performance in a Mafia tournament organized by another website. IIRC, he had to withdraw and @Maciejasjmj substituted for him. They both joined the group so they could see the discussions after the tournament was over.
But besides all that, what's up with user teal-O in the Mechanics group?

That's it? I didn't know about any mafia tournament. I joined the group because I'm not @abarker.

Found this at a local shop. I'm not sure who's had more crack: the one who made this or the one who took the URL tab.
-
the one who made this or the one who took the URL tab.
Removing one of the tabs yourself is a well-known psychological trick.
It encourages others to do the same.
So it might have been the same person.In fact, I can easily imagine the person taking a tab just because they forgot they were the one who posted it.

Filed under: Yes, it runs a truncate table., No, it's not boilerplate on all our sprocs.
In our codebase, all table access is via stored procedures with specific name formats
usp_tableName_[insert/update/delete/select]
. We got a deployment error a few weeks ago when we'd added a select proc to a table that previously hadn't been selected from directly. It turned out the ops people have a tool they run on live to generate these procs whenever a table is added. We're not big fans of the ops guys

Old, old, terrible coding standards that are in the process of being rewritten. The same standards also recommend using

Because they're a bunch of knobsockets. They don't even tell us about changes they make, which frequently leads to us updating price from source control and overwriting essential additions we never knew existed

Where I live you could just read everyone's national electronic ID card
Theoretically but practically not. Reading id's around here requires certain specific certificates and you have to register and follow some guidelines, mostly stuff you should be doing already per gdpr but it definitely is more hassle then just pulling the data from the card.

Looks like Snooder, who's got a picture of a letter avatar, possibly appropriated from the Discourse CDN.

Want to update using the GUI? Sure, there's an option for that, easy. Want to reinstall a package? Uninstall it then manually find it again.
