Accidentally hitting reply-to-all on a company wide email and more or less stating that I wanted to be transferred to another team.

There was a new team forming elsewhere, and in fairness, it was a great opportunity in a lot of ways. But... I didn't get the transfer until another batch of jobs opened a few months later.

That... was a long few months.

I'd get in the car and start driving. I'd go and have the conversation I've been afraid to have for years

... or I'd be paralyzed with fear like I've been for the rest of my life.

... or if I'm being honest, I'd most likely grab a bottle of tequila, fall off the wagon, and find out what I actually want to do that way.

About 15 years on, I'm still so happy I got good coursework marks for the route-finding equivalent of a bogosort. Picked a bunch of random routes and pick the fastest. Sure, that guy who set up a neural net to figure it out did well, but mine didn't take days of training, and still did about as well in the same sort of execution time.

Glad someone made this point. My next printer will definitely be a tank printer. It's basically flipping the business proposal back to "pay for the printer up front" instead of "pay for the printer whenever you buy ink". My current printer was cheap enough that I basically spend enough on ink to buy a new printer every few years, given degradation of cartridges when they're left after opening.

That's 102 stars more than my best... Nicely done :)

The protocol would seem unlikely to satisfy the concept of "necessary". It's entirely possible for the protocol to be impossible to implement whilst not complying with GDPR. Might require the development of something more sharded - data pulling in real time, etc.

An excellent choice of picture - many thanks.

I'm too lazy to find a picture of a spider for this joke - this exercise is left for the reader.

In the 13 years I've had a Reddit account, I made 40 comments, and 4 posts.

In the 15 days I've had a Lemmy account, I've made 28 comments and 1 post.

Now I wouldn't want to be one for extrapolating from data of different timescales, but...

I, a real normal human person, would consume the turtle with my regular bone teeth, in the usual fashion.

I really want the Vim/VS Code one - as someone who professionally devs in an MS stack, but would choose Vim as a primary text editor otherwise... it speaks to me deeply.

I'll get QA to update the test plan
