It’s not common, but it should be.

Still, that was just one example. EDR reacting to your code is likely a sign of some other shortcut being taken during the development process. It might even be a reasonable one, but if so it needs to be discussed and accounted for with the IT security team.

The difficulty of keeping something working scales exponentially as its complexity grows. Something of 1x complexity take 1y effort, but 2x complex is 10y effort, 3x complex is 100y, on and on.

Phones/computers/apps are at hilarious levels of complex now, and even 100k people running flat out can barely maintain the illusion that they “just work.” Add enshittification heaping its intentionally garbage experience onto the unintentional garbage experience that is modern computing, and it’s just gotten stupid.

They opt not to refund after the return window closes. You will get a generic email that the item was not received in the time alloted.

I feel like you’ve done that to yourself. The Dutch are barely involved.

No one on earth trusts McAfee, be it the abysmal man or abysmal AV suite.

If the EDR or AV software is causing issues with your code running, it’s possibly an issue with the suite, but it’s more likely an issue with your code not following common sense security requirements like code signing.

It’s common to use a trellis with cucumbers to have their vines grow vertically instead of covering all of the horizontal space of a garden. That makes cucumbers “hang” in the air like a fruit on a tree, and would lead to those motion lines in a fall.

Yes fellow human. That is what we do. Just normal people things.

My teams new hire project manager was even more advanced. When they found out we were working on 5-10 projects at once with no PM, they quit.

We had 3 PMs when I started here, and have been down to 0-1 for 6 months. That 0-1 runs a whole unrelated team, but is technical still a PM.

Dysfunction is fun. The plus side? No one asks me for estimates.

I don’t have plasterboard walls. They are lath and plaster.. The studs and framing are beautiful old hardwood.

It’s a sturdy and lovely old house that has stood the test of time. It’s one of the millions in the states that I was talking about.

There are 100 year old houses in America made of fine timber or brick that look better than this and will last longer.

It’s a big country. Modern construction is rarely built to last, but there are millions of homes here that would fit your description without issue.

Yeah, this is the normal price of a house in many large cities. It’s a lot mind you, but an adult in a high paying field can get a mortgage that covers that.

You don’t need a million dollars to buy a million dollar house. You need to be able to make a million dollars and enough to live on in 30yrs, or whatever the length of the mortgage is. Someone in their 30s-40s can fit that bill, so just be yourself.

If they ask if you have financing, say yes. If they ask more questions, say you will be glad to discuss that after the tour. Afterwards, just politely say you’re not interested and leave.

The MAC is generally the fingerprint. Looks like Apple handles this when searching as well:

I haven’t heard of anything else besides MAC being broadcast during the searching phase. Can you give an example or technical term?

They use randomized MACs there too.

You can set MACs to not randomize for specific WiFi, but by default it’s on and random.

IPhone/android randomize their MAC addresses now to prevent this kind of long term tracking.

Stores will see you walking the store anonymously and be able to create a general customer heatmap, but since this virtual MAC rotates, they won’t be able to correlate this to you indivdually long term.

Peanut is a versatile flavor. Sweet, savory, whatever.

You could use it with ketchup if you like. The mix could be a pretty nice combo to use as a sauce for a Thai dish, honestly. Just on bread would probably be pretty overwhelming alone. Balance it against something.

Costco sometimes has a 2 pack for around $10. Probably worth it.

My vote is sky valley. Both their red and green sirachi are amazingly. Really bright and solidly hot while still wellbeing balanced. Also at Costco, but it may be regional.

Paltry means “minimal, pitiful, lacking, without substance.”

People put up with it because we have no social services of any note and need to keep a job to live indoors. Lots of times, people don’t put up with it long term, which is why lots of service jobs have horrendous turnover of staff.

The number indicates how many people are at the table. A “4 top” is 4 people at a table, and pretty standard. A “10 top” is not only 2.5x as many people as normal, it’s also chaotic to seat and serve normally. You will also generally have to split out bills, some times in a complex way. Worst of all, the size of the table diffuses responsibility for tipping, generally leading to paltry or no tips. This will occasionally go the other way, with someone being generous as it’s usually an event, but the “5 minutes before close” crowd doesn’t tend to be generous.

So it’s a hard table, that won’t pay well, right before you were about to go home for the night.

Ha, I only called you out because I knew about windhaven already and wanted to share a good book.

I appreciate the goofin’

This one is actually about butterflies. You can read it here.

If you want to read about children on another planet that can fly, George RR Martin has you covered.
