dave_r@reddthat.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?2·2 years agoGood questions. I own priorities, my team owns operation. Fixing this is on our list of priorities, not high enough to get the amount of attention needed to really fix it.
dave_r@reddthat.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers?33·2 years agoWe have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn’t detect them, it’s because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).
Uuuuuugffhhhhhj

Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.
I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

Surprisingly: my shortest surgery (10 min to remove a device) resulted in about 10 days of serious depression. A shrink says this happens about 10 percent of the time. I wish I’d known this in advance, I’d have opted out. I will be more cautious in the future.
I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said “Abed?”. He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.
Once upon a time windows had absolute pathing. When you saved, it went in the directory you were in out where you told it.
Some time ago windows went to path relative to user. So now when you save to ‘desktop’ it could be one of several desktop folders. Windows tries to hide this by mapping ‘desktop’ to your user relative desktop, but it does this at the application level rather than in the base O/S. (Or, it does it on extended file system APIs). Some apps handle it, some apps don’t. If you have multiple users on a PC, it’s a mess.

For resistance training, they ran a set of machine based training, increasing resistance over time.

dave_r@reddthat.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Does anyone remember a logo that looked like this? None of us can place it but we all think we remember.2·2 years agoThat seemed plausible to me. But if so they’ve scrubbed it pretty well from the internet.

dave_r@reddthat.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's a religion you don't believe in that you find interesting and what about it piques your interest?7·2 years agoI think Judaism is pretty interesting. No hell to speak of. Strong community focus. Traditions seem not-evil. Seems to foster a sense of curiosity and knowledge seeking. At least among those I know.
