House full of an old security system bits. How easy to remove?
  • Your electrician eyes would be better than my non-electrician eyes...

    But is that home power wiring? That looks closer to thermostat wire to me in that picture. Colors are wrong though so...

    Edit: I for sure wouldn't touch these though. You can probably use a meter across the 4 terminals without even having to disconnect anything. It might just be the kind of wiring that you use for a 3 way switch with the ground wire sheathed. What was the device?

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • One of them is EXACTLY 8 ASCII characters, may not contain any English dictionary word, no repeating character. At least 1 number, and at least 1 special characters. Just obliterates the search space.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • I believe I understand the perspectives, but I'm unconvinced that there isn't asymmetry. It's one person's job.

    Like, I'll whine all day about my job. But I'm under no illusions that I didn't sign up for it, and I'm extremely cognizant that while it's a bummer that I have to do my job, I understand that the people I support are having a worse day than I am. I'm not doing anyone a favour, I'm doing my job.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • It is the AD credentials. It's a fortune 500 company and it doesn't even come close to NIST recommendations.

    We have like 3 different ADs as a result of mergers and acquisitions, and the requirements are all different.

  • Sometimes, it's backwards
  • See I think this is where in general people in it misunderstand the impact.

    Like, if it's -40 and your furnace breaks, who is having the worse day, you or the furnace repair man?

    The repair man might be grumbling because they have to do their job, but you're grumbling because you're freezing. You both might be grumbling, but by way of impact there is a massive asymmetry in impact.

  • Gimli Glider
  • The aircraft was carrying only 45% of its required fuel load.

    Can't help but recall that 1kg/2.2lb is 45%

    So... Incorrectly applied here may have been "is that lbs or kgs?" "They're the same thing, idiot" "oh ok"

  • Software Engineering Documentation Best Practice?
  • I agree that would be ideal.

    I flat out do not trust each of the 500 devs operating on our codebase to maintain comments.

    Tests are documentation, code can be documentation. Those run through CI.

    If you can keep comments updated at scale, do it. If you can't don't pray for a miracle and find something that you actually can enforce

  • CTrain Success

    I know that the CTrain reminders to not forget your newspapers when leaving the train have been overwhelmingly successful because I haven't seen a newspaper on the train even one time in the last 10 years.
