This sounds like exactly my response to a ”Christian” movie. They are so ridiculously bad because to earn the label “Christian” they have to be preachy.

I could see Mt St Helens from my bedroom window in Portland. I did not see the first eruption but watched the second.

A while back a woman died after eating at a Disney restaurant and being assured that the food she was ordering was allergen free. Disney responded very poorly to the husband’s suit, but I wonder if the Disney employee believed things were allergen free because of one of these hacked menus.

I use Plex’s download feature to make sure I always have music available. The same could be done for other media but I don’t bother.

My Plex server runs in my home and all my media is available outside my home. A travel server seems like a solution for a problem that doesn’t really exist.

Everyone knows this duh!

Into your heart!

I’m mostly in the “fuck AI” camp. As is my eldest son. The other day I messaged him and said “I hate to say this, but I just had a helpful interaction with AI.”

Python has importlib. I’ve used it many times, particularly when laying DB libraries conditionally.

I was in a situation where I needed to load arbitrary python code from an arbitrary location. I was sure I could use importlib to do this, but couldn’t sort it out. Nine of my search results turned to anything that moved me in the right direction. Finally I asked copilot. Not only did it get me where I needed to go but when I told it “I got this error when doing this thing.” It told me I was a moron and why.

Needless to say I got my weird problem sorted.

AI still sucks though.

Me…

Two email threads on the same subject with the same subject line, slightly different recipient lists.

It was a really deep thread and at one point I had emailed the internal version with “the customer is not good at math.” And included the correct math.

Some time later we had resolved the issue and I replied to the customer, but somehow ended up on the wrong thread. Fortunately it was so deep that I don’t think they ever saw it. But one of our VPs did. We had an entertaining conversation.

To this day I hate threads that go on for ages and I hate it when people reuse threads.

Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.

Also, I’m a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?

I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn’t believe nurses do.

If you’re envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you’re happy where you are at In life, then don’t let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.

No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.

I hate to think about what your familial experiences must have been like to believe that couples can’t love each other, have kids they love and who love them, and genuinely enjoy being around each other.

We watched The Lion King tonight in his honor.

Very very aware.

So you had another mail server elsewhere that port forwarded port 25 via port 22 to your internal mail server’s port 25.

I take it that outside mail server was secure.

That’s an impressive setup.

Did you really only use it when you were home? If you used it outside the firewall then port 25 must have been open also.

I used to run my own server and this was in the early 90s. Then one day, perusing the logs I realized I was not smart enough on the security front to even attempt such a thing. It was quickly shut down and the MX record moved to an outsourced mail provider.

Hitch gets a nod in the opening paragraph.

What a lovely post. Thank you for sharing it.

I’m 60 years old, my father passed many years ago. I have still not come to grips with all the complexities of our relationship. My wife knows that if we ever see a film or TV show where a parent, but particularly a father shows any form of approval for something their son did, I will turn into a blubbering mess.

That said, more rational me knows that there were many ways in which my father was a good dad, if am willing to take the time to look for them.

I have three sons and a daughter, my greatest hope in life is that they won’t have the same issues with me as a father that I did with my own dad.

Thanks again for this amazing story about how even small things we do can have a great impact, and not necessarily on those we expect them to.

But who will be playing Danny Boy?

I’ve been on my project for 23 years. I haven’t written production code for ten of those years. There are still commits in the production branch with my name on them. Is both gratifying and mortifying.

I was talking with two other “old-timers” today about our inability to pay off tech debt because our teams are never given the time to do it

This relationship can be saved as long as the guy’s wife does not start expressing an interest in Emacs. That would, of course, put an end to the relationship, but if she’s one of those “Notepad is all I need” types, there is hope this can be worked through.
