Nice try Zuckerberg

Our IT often use a Boolean as a shortcut for figuring out things in code. For example, if there’s a charge we don’t apply to some customers, instead of setting it to zero, they’ll have a Boolean on the customer to decide whether they skip that part of the calculation. On top of this, they then name it in a way that limits how many records they have to update, this leads to many settings phrased in the negative, such as “Don’t apply extra leg charges”. As an extra layer on this, more recently they were made aware of the confusion this causes for staff and their solution was to change how end users are the question, which causes the “yes/no” in the interface to read the opposite of the “true/false” in the database

Good on them for cutting down on the pedophilia, it’s always hard to kick a habit

Why do you need dual cup holders? Is that so it can hold an extra large mountain dew?

It grinds my gears for so many reasons, but most of all, it creates a huge vulnerability with little or no benefit to the end user. Needlessly adding extra online exposure, just so they can data mine.

Lol, I have virtually the same system, though my Craig is called Dan

Thanks OP, you have hit peak shitpost

I don’t think it’s about not wanting to hear it, more so about the language used, that feels overboard. I feel it’s a combination of a car industry regulator in need of updating their terminology and news outlets looking to make everything sound sensational - the end result leaving you feel like you’ve been mislead about what’s actually going on.

Not pulling out has changed many people’s lives

Maybe it’s just burger king, so they can look at your selfies on Instagram and know when to fill your ad space with burgers 😜🍔

Now you’re showing your ignorance - your statement is empirically false.

Now that I have a work laptop, I’ve installed Linux on my home computer and it was simple and runs fantastically - actual results may vary as I work in IT and have grown up with a high tech involved family. However, the hill I’m happy to die on, is the fact that using Excel above a basic level in business, where information needs to be shared with non-technical staff cannot be replicated in Linux, and that Excel is still the best product to do this.

There are still use cases for windows. We have a predominately Linux environment (server and desktop), and a development team that build 80% of our operational software. That team are not fans of windows, but come across quite a few use cases where they have to use it because a 3rd party program won’t run on Linux; or an external connection requires a windows service; or there is no comparable product available on Linux (MS Excel is the one thing keeping me on windows). Even ignorance plays a part, because end users can still have had limited access to technology over their lives and in Australia that usually means windows computers in schools. I deal with staff in their 20’s and 30’s who know nothing of how technology works outside of “push that button and the thing happens”, if that button is a different colour, or shape, or location, shift is over, go home - they don’t care why it’s changed and definitely don’t want to learn a new way to do it. We’re somewhere between American data cowboys and the GDPR when it comes to data safety in Australia, which MS can be BS at and the integration burns more of our teams time than it should, but it’s still a necessary evil - even if it’s just when dealing with customers and vendors

This is literally the only current reason I use windows

Sounds like the toilet finally got it’s revenge

That’s what I was thinking. I foresee him retiring on fat stacks of cash in 5 years, that he made by pumping up the stock price with claims he won’t have to worry about fulfilling

You could own a room in a crack-house

Shotgun, ak-47, pistol, katana. I don’t want to live long term in a zombie apocalypse, just need the firepower for a bit of fun before I go. After I run out of ammo for the shotgun and the AK, I use the pistol to kill myself - the katana is just in case I get caught short at close range

From what I know of people homeschooling, my understanding is that it was something people did for practicality/preference and then nutjobs started seeing it as a way to remove their kids from mainstream education and indoctrinate them to some crazy worldview. I know some normal people doing it nowadays still.
