    I have tinnitus with two different frequencies constantly blaring in my ears from target shooting and loud concerts sans ear protection.

    You’ll be able to tell the difference in a quality pair of headphones, trust me.

    On Error Resume Next never before have more terrible words been spoken.

    Every time I’m reading a PowerShell script at work and see -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue I want to scream into a pillow and forcefully revert their commit.

    I’ve actually done it a few times, but I want to do it every time.

    It is an absolutely fantastic (and bizarre) game with an addictive game loop. It reminds me of Stardew Valley in that you can just play it and chill, it’s one of those kinds of games; you won’t be super challenged while playing it, but that’s OK, it’s not that type of game. It has a basic storyline, good humor, and the mechanics of the game also expand quite a bit as compared to the beginning of it. I’ve told multiple people “Don’t look up reviews or videos, just buy this blind/sight-unseen and play it.” and there hasn’t been a single person that hasn’t enjoyed the shit out of it. I’d buy it again for twice the asking price. It’s just fun.

    So yeah, 10000% recommend.






  • BTW, any authenticator app works when it tells you to use one. They all use a standard, so it doesn’t matter which one you use.

    Eh, it’s a little more nuanced than that, there’re more standards for MFA code generation than just TOTP.

    And even within the TOTP standard, there are options to adjust the code generation (timing, hash algorithm, # of characters in the generated code, etc.) that not all clients are going to support or will be user-configureable. Blizzard’s Battle.net MFA is a good example of that.

    If the code is just your basic 6-digit HMAC/SHA1 30-second code, yeah, odds are almost 100% that your client of choice will support it, but anything other than that I wouldn’t automatically assume that it’s going to work.


  • Bet it’ll be their own special flavor of Python that doesn’t play nice with literally any other packages or interpreters.

    It’s literally just Python and it says that it supports standard packages/modules. And Guido Van Rossum works at Microsoft now, there’s no way he would let them bastardize it, he would’ve quit before that happened.

    I don’t understand why people will find any reason to shit on anything while not even (seemingly) reading the article. If you did, I’m sorry, but it really doesn’t seem like you did.

    But yeah, fuck it, let’s rip it all out and just keep the VBA integration until the heat death of the universe.



  • A times B times C equals X… I am jacks something something something

    Narrator: A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one.

    Woman on Plane: Are there a lot of these kinds of accidents?

    Narrator: You wouldn’t believe.

    Woman on Plane: Which car company do you work for?

    Narrator: A major one.

    Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

    I agree with everything you said except for this. Opinions are never wrong since they’re subjective, they’re just fucking stupid.
