As seen on Facebook:
Office briefing on safety : "What do you do in case of armed intruder?"
Me: "I grab scissors, a letter opener, and a pot of hot coffee, tell the women with kids and those over 55 to retreat, find my point of ambush, then I say a prayer."
My boss: "While I appreciate the sentiment... no, Rich... just... no."The correct answer is you cower in a corner and wait for the intruder to slowly stab you to death.
It's like duck and cover, but for armed intruders!

RE: Recommend me some RAM
@marczellm said in Recommend me some RAM:
Aw I don't think that's compatible with what I already have :(

RE: Recommend me some RAM
@choonster said in Recommend me some RAM:
@izzion Thanks for the advice.
I'm probably not going to be adding more for a while, so getting a second set of what I already have looks like the best option.
I'll see if anyone else has anything to add.
I'll agree with @izzion here. Especially with your budget, which just simply won't get you 4x8GB, and the use of DDR3, if you want to upgrade later to 32GB you'll probably switch the whole rig. You could get 2x8GB of a different type of RAM if you can't find the same stuff you have and just replace your current loadout, but that'd be my last resort.

@ben_lubar unless you solved face recognition problem, a better heuristic is "people who write like spambots are spambots".
Look, do you want to keep spambots from posting, or from uploading avatars? Our CDN is getting full.

What human woman? The one on the poster the giant panda is eating?

RE: EVE Online considering using disc horse
@e4tmyl33t said in EVE Online considering using disc horse:
@ydna Indeed they did, I saw the reddit post about the dev blog announcing it.
I haven't been subscribed to it for quite a while now, since my last alliance selfdestructed and I decided to rejoin a friend in WOW when Legion launched, but I did notice that after they made the change to their systems to make it basically two-tier subscriptions (basically free-to-play with limitations on skills and ships you can train unless you upgrade to a paid subscription), my skillqueues kicked back in and finished training all the stuff that was sitting in them, which got one of my alts a hilarious chunk closer towards jump freighters and/or carriers/dreadnoughts.
Wait, so all that crap I had in my SQ is all trained now? Now I kinda want to log in just to stage some more training.

RE: I need a crappy laptop or two
@Weng said in I need a crappy laptop or two:
@RaceProUK I may grab this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX0KIGB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1About double what I really want to spend (so only one unit instead of two), but only a few bucks more than a refurb of my work unit, and markedly superior. Only downmark is the hardwired battery.
I would be a bit concerned about how that harddrive is going to perform, and it is possible to get refurbs near to that price with SSDs.

RE: Any free Postgres tools that don't suck?

I just use psql.
Likewise.
psql
is underrated. I've used Datagrip at $WORKPLACE[-2] and PgAdmin 4 is standard issue at $WORKPLACE[-1], but beyond basic discovery,psql
is just more efficient. -

@julmu said in Any free Postgres tools that don't suck?:
pgAdmin 3 was pretty good. I've used it for years and it rarely crashes and I've never seen it drop connections or return false results.
The main complaint that I have about it is its crappy autocomplete feature that stops working if there's more than one table in the query or if there's more than one column in the where clause.It never crashes, unless you try to connect using SSH tunnel. Then it's a race against time to get your work done before the connection times out, making pgAdmin crash.
So, there's this thing called SSH keep-alive that you should look into.

How did they get to your backups?
They didn't.
@xaade said in Boss's luck has ran out:
@izzion Right, they didn't make any external backups.
They did. You'll notice that there is a backup, and that it's an image of the entire VM (this is a VPS, after all). The problem is the timestamp on the backup. Good luck making your client happy with a 15-months-dead restore.

RE: Boss's luck has ran out
@Weng said in Boss's luck has ran out:

I am a little surprised that @cartman82 didn't take some backups 3 months ago when his boss refused a full fix just so there'd be some semblance of failguard.

RE: Not sure that's how responsive works
@dkf said in Not sure that's how responsive works:
@blakeyrat We could always simply say that “responsive” means both that the page responds (rapidly) to the user's device size/orientation and also to the actions taken by the user. Hard to see why non-idiots wouldn't want that.
But then you couldn't have NodeB— right.

RE: 🚘

I mixed up Louisiana and Maryland. I somehow forgot The War of 1812 had a bunch of battles in Maryland, and not Louisiana.
That one was tough, but FYI, the 1815 mentioned on the Louisiana plate actually does have to do with the war of 1812 unless I'm quite mistaken.

@remi said in Passover WTF:
But does that also apply to rules that are actually needed to make life in society possible? Like, "thou shalt not kill"?
Given the apparent lack of such devices, I'd say that signs point to no. Perhaps this falls under "Using one's intellect to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run."
Somehow, all that thinking seems like they don't really believe in their god. "There are rules, but as long as it doesn't really matter, we can play with those..." puts back a lot of human control in divine matters. Which, I'm sure, can be argued that this is God's will and so on, but still, I find that a bit too much self-referencing...
From my perspective, the problem is that the rules that they're rules lawyering are completely arbitrary anyways. No-where does the Torah say that carrying something outside your house is work, but because the rabbis have accumulated 3 millennia of life-ruining rules based on the Torah, they've also had to come up with 3 millennia of ways to ignore the rules. Or they could just throw away the pointless rules that they're not following anyways, but that's like, just my opinion.

RE: 📚 The book lovers thread
Tried Wild Wastes by Randi Darren because it starts out interesting and has good reviews.
Ugh. Beyond the absolutely atrocious editing, or lack thereof, the book features a ridiculous series of world change triggers, an increasingly bizarre hand-waves for making the protagonist increasingly OP, and an ever-increasing set of females demanding to have sex with him.
The main character is written as a real person in an apocalypse, and will not make choices that line up with society and cultural norms.
Yeah, he basically abandons his norms for those of another race, but he doesn't feel like a real person at all.

Just going to throw out here that this is... not how it is at all. The moderator is the stuff you stick between the fuel to slow an already active chain reaction.
