  1. I bought my Sactional in mid-December with a 25% discount. All of the reviews I found were very positive. This thing is a beast! I only wish I'd found a good rug before setting it up. It's on a tile floor but hasn't budged so far. I love its Lego-ness.

    The center section of my last sectional broke after about four months. Should any section break, I can quickly replace that piece instead of having to "deal with it" or replace the whole thing.

  2. Jekyll, Gitlab Pages, and VSCode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Once you get the config and include syntax for Jekyll, it's a piece of cake.

  3. I opened a few trending topics in different tabs. One said to log in. Logged in only to be told I was already logged in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  4. The reply I was seeking.
  5. I just implemented 1Password with a company of about 40 people. They have great onboarding trainers and will go the extra mile to answer questions. For people that are moving from another manager to this, it's a simple process. For people that have never used a password manager before, the browser extension, mobile and desktop apps make it hurt less.

    I really like being able to add One-Time Passwords to any record, so we're not dealing with additional auth apps. The browser based UI makes it easy to add or update logins as you go. In addition, having controls to recover an account for someone that's locked out and has lost their Emergency Recovery Kit gives the execs some peace of mind. The secret key changes, so the old ERK is invalid should it be found later.

    Individual and team level controls are available. We have some shared accounts, but you can create as many Groups and Vaults as you need. You can set access rights at multiple levels. So one group/person may be able to edit records, but another group/person can only read them to log in.

    Brian already mentioned the free family account. It's brilliant.

  6. Like how is a 20oz at the gas station $2.50 and a 2 liter at the grocery store ALSO $2.50?
  7. Flash was shuttered due to being a constant, huge security risk. So no modern browsers support it and there aren't any plugins for it other than Ruffle.
  8. First time I encountered Markdown: "Wait, isn't this WordPerfect for DOS?"
  9. I've been using Pocket for quite some time. Exported from Pinboard IIRC. Dead simple with browser extension and app integration on mobile. If you have the app installed on your phone, you can use the "share" icon on any other app to send a link to Pocket. https://getpocket.com/my-list
  10. It's analytics. Google search brings up

    "Years ago I dedicated a Flex Friday (our version of 20% time) to stargazers, a tool to query the CockroachDB repository for information about its GitHub stars and analyze the results. At the time of writing, we had 6,000+ stars (which felt like a lot), and the data in this blog will be based on that original set of 6,000 stargazers."

    Which links to

    https://github.com/spencerkimball/stargazers

    "GitHub allows visitors to star a repo to bookmark it for later perusal. Stars represent a casual interest in a repo, and when enough of them accumulate, it's natural to wonder what's driving interest. Stargazers attempts to get a handle on who these users are by finding out what else they've starred, which other repositories they've contributed to, and who's following them on GitHub."

  11. OMG, does anyone else recall a series of comedy videos about a sysadmin dealing with employees? My favorite was a call from someone who "ran out of rows" in Excel. The sysadmin is losing his mind trying to explain why that wasn't possible.

    EDIT: Found it! https://youtu.be/1SNxaJlicEU (slightly NSFW, skip to about 3:30)

  12. Any chance you could add "ColdFusion" to the list? Keywords: "coldfusion","cold fusion", "cfml". Should return around 1k job listings.
  13. My high school had Apple IIe computers. My classmates had been stealing my homework when they asked to play a game from my disk. My "copy protection" was to name files using Alt characters (I think), so the file name looked like "HIST 202 REPORT", but the spaces were the Alt characters. No one could copy the files after that and the class grade average tanked. :)
  14.   Desktop PC - General browsing and light gaming.
      Laptop PC - Work
      15" Macbook Pro (Intel) - Work (deprecated)
      16" Macbook Pro (M1 Max) - Work
      iPhone 13 Pro Max
      iPad Pro M1
      Amazon Fire tablet for guest access to wireless audio.
    
    Monitors

      3 x 27" Acer IPS 2k monitors
      3 x 27" LG IPS 4k monitors
    
    Protip: A 27" 4k monitors is a waste of a 4k monitor. Text is waaaay too small for coding at that resolution.

    Everything else has been sold or recycled. I used to have PILES of desktops and servers, but I got over my nostalgia years ago.

  15. Realize that the fastest way is not fast at all.
  16. 2FA is fine.

    Except for Steam AND Battle.net (Blizzard) which both have their own dedicated 2FA apps.

    I use 1password to manage all of this and the only thing compliant is about some sites that seem to break a password manager's ability to auto-populate form fields.

  17. I left the Apple podcasts app once they changed the way they ordered episodes that I've not yet heard and lost my place on a number of podcasts. I was suggested the Overcast app and it took me three days to completely convert to it and delete the Apple app from my phone. I've even paid the annual subscription to turn off ads, which aren't noticeable anyway, just to support the developer for understanding how (I feel) people actually want to listen to podcasts.

  18. Dealing with this now, agree that if you're not generating revenue to cover the costs, you're barking up the wrong tree. Yes, SMS is easier for the users, but it's also not very secure. And that impacts the use cases of your platform.

    At a previous employer, the solution was to move off SMS and onto internal messaging via native mobile apps. This will shift your cost focus, but that levels out as the volume of SMS transactions decrease.

  19. I can buy the part about putting up fences between business people at the tech team. Been there, done that, modernized project management. But the "thank you"s, bonuses and all that? Complete fantasy. :)
