That's exactly what I was talking about. Nice work!

I wonder if perhaps the elephant simply finds the outburst of smoke entertaining?

I'd love if I could filter this by target color(s), and see a subset that approximate that selection. Being able to select "red to orange" or "blue to green" would be great! Even some approximation of hex codes would be cool too.

I've had trouble accessing the Google Analytics dashboard(s) in FF as well. Nothing gets rendered except the background gradient.

In the interest of not using Chrome though, when I run into such issues I use Brave as it's Chromium-based and thus allows me to side-step those problems.

I have been using an Anker vertical mouse for about a year now. It's far from feature rich, but the build quality is impressive for a $20 mouse, and it's very comfortable. AAA battery life is good-great (it's not rechargable). I have medium-large hands for a male, and it sits in my hand great. As you get used to it, you do have to be careful you don't send it sailing across your desk when you go to reach for it!

I cannot express my disappointment in the "The Ultimate Quiz" being unavailable.

Slack gets pretty resource-intensive when the user is part of multiple workspaces. I know one of my co-workers is part of three or four, whereas I'm only part of the main company workspace. Co-worker's Slack memory usage is around triple that of my own.

>So we can talk shit about the management and people we don't like!

Heh, at my last job we always went out to a pub for some burgers and beer on Fridays. 75% of the conversation revolved around exactly this. I found it an important way to decompress and let off steam.

Oh, I hope there is a Windows-compatible way to use this (i.e.: in a .NET dev environment), if not now, then in the future.

This instantly strikes me as more social than Uber/Lyft because you're not "hiring" anyone.

Hell, I bet users will even sit in the front seat together.

I must admit, HN is the last place I expected to find a link to a Trailer Park Boys clip.

I know I definitely want to try this. I don't think I would ever buy one to have in my home, but it really would be cool to and fun to try.

Please say powershell... Please say powershell...

I didn't get the sense that they were implying that it was acceptable at all. My understanding of that comment was that they were pointing out that the problem is international, and doesn't only exist in America.

Sure seems that way. Just ask any Azure customer using the North and South central data centers.

nuget.org has been failing for me. Can't get any packages to download.

All our North Central App Services and Azure SQL instances alike are down.

EDIT: https://status.nuget.org/ is showing that their services are unreachable. Azure portal is unresponsive as well.

EDIT2: Looks like the problem began at 2:41 eastern, and according to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/ it's a problem with North Central.

EDIT3: Issue confirmed by MSFT https://twitter.com/AzureSupport/status/927629300370571264

Great for cheating at Facebook messenger games. Just send whatever score you like!

Would you consider elaborating on this? I'm curious to hear what some negatives of the PR model might be, as I've recently taken a personal interest in dev workflows.

Yeah, as much as I like tinkering on my own machine, if someone has a machine go down at work, or gets approved for an upgrade, etc., tech support gets a call and they come drop a new box on our desk. Not enough time in the day for us to make it more complicated than that.

When nVidia's model numbers rolled over, I had a true moment of panic. Didn't know what to do with myself anymore.

Nothing helps you learn new tech quite like fighting to the death with it!

If being some sort of sysadmin craftsman gets you up in the morning, all the power to you. But for many others, "good enough" really is good enough.

Creating notes is not the problem people are trying to solve. They're trying to make managing them easier.

It's true; "fool me once" and all that. But it really doesn't make the world a better place to live if it's easier to get fired by accident.

Agreed on all points. This has law firms written all over it.

What is your point?

I am learning that sometimes people try to defend their ideas by coming up with ways to make their idea work. If accommodating the solution is more work than actually implementing it, it might not be the right solution.

On #3: Agreed. In my experience, every time someone comes up with some grand design before writing any code, it's built on one or more assumptions about the problem. Then work begins, and one or more of the assumptions inevitably turn out to be incorrect and the whole design gets deflated.

Not necessarily. If you haven't been there for long (and it's not on your resume) it might not even be necessary to mention them directly. It could take a bit of linguistic technique, but if you frame things in such a way that describes what role you were hired for and what role you were given, I don't think anyone could fault you for being dissatisfied.

I thought the same thing, that there was some sort of image being displayed. Whcih had me really interested for a moment.
