This was years and years ago, but when I applied to McDonald's I said I wanted to work there because McDonald's is a stable company that has continued to expand even in downturns. The franchise owner liked that answer so much they walked me around to other managers to repeat it

Based on other after actions I've read, I think you're missing the possibility that the old IT guy had a Word doc on his desktop titled "My plans for driving that bitch crazy-final-finalv2.docx"

Certainty.
That my car will start.
That my toilet will flush.
That I can refill my meds.
That my card will be accepted.
That no one will come and take it all away.

Yeah the show pony routine was not what I was hoping for, but I did get the job. Of course she also told me I had the job from the minute I walked in because they'd never had a candidate wear a suit to an interview

Because the simulation follows the path of the ISS, which rotates in the same period as its orbit to keep imaging equipment and antennae pointed at the earth.

I worked with a guy in his 90s. Thick, thick Bronx accent. The only thing he loved talking about more than women was himself and he spent all day talking about his retirement and his time in the navy in WWII. What'd he do in between? "Imports and exports. Fuggedaboutit."

Multiple kinds. Men that see this are more likely to be in peer groups that talk about this kind of thing. Men that don't notice are less likely to respond. Men are unlikely to remember incidences where they were in an all-male meeting and didn't notice.

That's just an introvert. Introverts can even prefer to be outgoing. The distinction is that being outgoing is exhausting for introverts, and energizing for extroverts.

Also, this may be state dependent, but if you have to be accessible and able to come in when called you're on-call and you have to get paid for that time. Not necessarily your full normal wage, but it's paid time

I say this with love as someone with ADHD and has often been in leadership/senior positions:
It's because the interesting problems we can latch onto are the ones that get noticed by management while the vital day-to-day monotony that we're bad at is often ignored.

On the flip side, I once had a doctor refuse to give me a flu vaccine because I'm allergic to sulfa medications because "that's in all kinds of things [it is not] and I don't know what's in this [it was a flu vax popup clinic. All they did all day was flu vax]"

My mom had me when she was very young. She isn't famous or widely respected or a college graduate, but she is a great mom and got me through college. Everyone's success is different.

It's the cheese chase. They roll a wheel of cheese down a steep hill and people chase after it. It is dangerous, people get hurt sometimes. There have been multiple efforts to ban it but it has a very dedicated following.

My API is that if you send a GET request to this endpoint, you will get a static pdf consisting of a scan of a paper report that contains data approximating what you want.

Exactly what I was thinking. Home Depot has plenty of my money, but it's not where I would go to get a "magnificent piece" of any wood. It's where you go to get a "I'm almost done but I'm a little short and the real lumber place is only open like three hours a day" piece of wood.

Either that or you just get comfortable with failing and blowing past deadlines until they no longer induce adequate anxiety. Or both.

This is a very small part of that story and it's not enough but many states have programs where victims of stalking can get government services like registering to vote without providing an address. Here's WI's:

If you're not going to give a prognosis to a man who isn't your patient with a poorly understood disease that is not in your specialty based entirely on rumor and speculation, what is even the point of Twitter?

This supposes aliens with more rational systems. I tend to assume any civilization we encounter will have just as much ridiculous stuff based on tradition and outdated beliefs as we do
@SwiftOnSecurity
It took me a long time to realize that when many people hear "everything else is a compromise" they hear an implicit "and therefore not worth doing."
To me, it's a reminder that we need to be deliberate about what compromises we're making, and not hold out for perfection.
@realBrookNash
To my immediate supervisor or a direct peer? "Fuck that"
Outside that group? "I'd like to exhaust other options first", "let's get committee input on that", "I'll add that to the backlog"
ok it's time to talk about societal distrust in experts and institutions, the rise of misinformation, cultural polarization, and how to work toward some semblance of mutually agreed upon information before we splinter into irreconcilable realities

The two government applications:
The incredibly over-built distributed system with microservices connected by complex APIs that should have been a single script
The arcane Access database maintained by 1 retirement-age employee that should have been a complex distributed system

It was banned in my school because it had dice and was therefore gambling. Even though we had a gaming club.
We got around it by using the random functions on our graphing calculators. These days we'd use an app. For some reason that was okay.

Huge redundant locks on the door next to big glass windows, installing smart cameras but closing blinds bc concerned about privacy, testing emergency whistle to show it works and also that no one comes, this is a fractal of poor risk analysis

@AccidentalCISO
The lightbulb wasn't in asset tracking so the CISO didn't know it was there. Help desk has known about it forever, so they close all tickets as "known issue" and grumble that no one is fixing it. Eventually a business person replaces it with a bulb from home that's too bright.

A theme I've been seeing a lot lately is that every hero represents a systemic failure that allowed things to get to where a hero was needed in the first place.

People's RAM standards do not adequately support ADHD. I want all the tabs (some with video), and Visual Studio, one VM I'm working on, two I forgot to turn off, and probably a minimized video game I forgot is running
@SarahJamieLewis
That's nerd sniping, right there. Most people would have no idea what to do with it, others wouldn't touch it, but there's a handful of people that would say "that's so weird I gotta see what's on this" and those people are probably admins.

My favorite part of this is the retainer for the latch on the near side, and the little key on the left side, meaning that it will only plug in one way and the USB-C connectors just make it harder to tell which way.

In practice, it's extremely common. Plead guilty and you could be back with your family in few months. Profess your innocence and you could spend years fighting it and risk that you'll still lose and get a harsher sentence.

You're not gonna get a complete response here, because the overlap of people that use the term mango for bell peppers and people that use Twitter is vanishingly small. Y'all underestimate how isolated many Midwestern communities are.

Based on my college experience I'd bet there's at least one new dorm that has an app=based high-efficiency laundry and at least one old dorm that has a coin-operated wringer and a basin with a washing board.

I bet their respective security teams also have scream bags.
Anyone responsible for someone else's security should advise them not going into a war zone, and then plan for what they will do that person decides to go anyway

There's also just some really weird stuff that happens. Processors these days are so small that they worry about quantum effects. And sometimes radiation happens to hit just the right part of your computer to flip a critical bit.
