Actual stuff people say in interviews!
I am now the second most important person taking interview of people wanting to join our company.
Heard in interview:I am a hardworking person and I have to take care of my mother and father. So I want high salary.
My hobbies are watching movies and playing chess. Sometime I do both at same time. I am high level of multi-tasker and you would be happy with me in your company.

They should be called ... Netherlanders!
IIRC the Dutch word for Netherlands is Nederlands and the word for Dutch people is Nederlanders.

Is... this supposed to be C#? What is with these naming conventions? Why would you make a constructor like this for anything?
This is so thoroughly awful...

RE: WTF is happening with Windows 11? And nothing else
@Applied-Mediocrity I think getting to windows 11 has been a bad decision.
Dear Satya Nadella,
I am writing to you today to express my concerns about the recent upgrade to Windows 11. Since the upgrade, we have experienced a number of problems, including:Printer disruptions
C# compiler problems
Multiple monitor issues
I have been working with the IT department to try to resolve these issues, but we have not been successful. I am concerned that these problems are impacting our productivity and morale.I would like to request that we roll back to Windows 10. I believe that this is the best course of action until Microsoft can resolve the issues with Windows 11.
Thank you for your time and consideration

@boomzilla Wait wait wait, that's not how it works!
He needs to download more RAM first.
I had a friend who put 8GB RAM in his PC and then installed Windows XP 32-bit. It was around 2013.
Clearly you need 32 GB ram to run 32 BIT windows.

Back to Topic. Edge is also saving battery life of your device. This is their claim.
Of course it saves battery. It's hard to drain battery when it crashes every 5 minutes
These kinds of uninformed comment is what is going to cause the world to blow to smithereens.

RE: Old avatar displaying
My old avatar is displaying in the top right. I only changed it 4 days ago:

That should be an eagle, not a wolf.
Edit: And no, I have no idea how to repro.
You need to clear cookie, sprinkle holy water on your computer, clean it with wet issue paper and then reboot it.
If above step not working, reinstall operating level system. FTW. QFT. QED. -

RE: Tales from the Mortgage Monster: automating logins
When has hard-coding credentials ever backfired?
We have many passwords floating around in excel file. In theory anyone who has network access could get to any of these files as long as path is available. That is an approximate number of 27,000 persons. Nobody bother to get to the file, so everything is under control.

RE: Signs your code is unmaintainable
@Groaner said in Signs your code is unmaintainable:
@antiquarian said in Signs your code is unmaintainable:
This one bit me in the ass yesterday:
INSERT INTO table2 SELECT * FROM table1
I spent a few months a couple years ago fixing the couple hundred stored procedures in our codebase that did that. It got to the point where people were intentionally making tables with extra
varchar
columns (think UserDefined01, UserDefined02, ... UserDefined20), and every so often, you'd see someone sending a company wide email to ask, "I'm storing order status in UserDefined11 and ship date in UserDefined17 - is anyone else using those columns for anything?"This is plague in lot of code I have seen. This kind of "UNRELIABLE DATA" is often impossible to migrate.
I am wishing an AI to be developed for this kind of stuff.In one "Phone" field, it said "Call Marcos na extensão 21". The "ã" mangled up stuff even more.

RE: I tried to edit an image in the Windows 10 Photos app
@kt_ said in I tried to edit an image in the Windows 10 Photos app:
I hate this app. I've recently had to go through a lot of images and I had to zoom in look at each of them. There is no way to jump to previous/next picture when zoomed in. You have to fucking zoom out first.
I installed IrfanView.
Agree 1000%. The basic windows photo viewer from Windows 7 was amazing. this photos app is just cause of blood pressure pills getting sold all over the world.

RE: I shitpost in help threads
@Rhywden said in Connecting Office365 to a local LDAP server:
I just want to see how much of a headache I'm willing to inflict upon me here. Currently we have the situation that our pupils (yes, all 1700 of them) have the right to get a free 365 account as long as they're pupils at our school.
However, we currently have three different account systems in play and I really want to reduce that to one. Ideally with SSO!
Our local network which uses LDAP for accounts and gets its data directly from the school district's management system. A messenger system to replace WhatsApp and which I hope we can get rid of sometime soon - but that's another story. And Office365 which gets its accounts from AzureAD and where we currently create each and every account manually (which also means manual deletions and updates).
Since the latter one has a limited number of licenses (enough for all pupils but not enough to allow former pupils to keep the accounts), it has become a bit annoying to type in all that stuff.
Plus, the usual "What in the world is that supposed to spell?" and "Does this guy understand what 'please write legible!' means?"
Long story short, I'm looking for some way to at least do a one-way sync from our LDAP to Azure AD.
From what I've already read, there are roughly two ways you could do that:
a) Using the Azure AD connector and try to wire the LDAP directly to Azure AD or
b) import the LDAP accounts into a local AD and then sync that to Azure.We do have Windows Server licenses so at least that part shouldn't be a problem.
Anyone else have an idea of what nightmare I'm willing to inflict on myself here?
Ask friend to check in on you from time to time. Maybe a metal asylum is in your future!
