    As with most anything (especially something that requires a little bit of training, knowledge, and patience), shit’s really easy if you know how to do it. An advantage to the compute evolution and revolution over the past 40 years is that has obfuscated much of the underlying details from the end user. And it has made those end users more innately trusting. The tire change analogy applies for those of us who understand the basics and are comfortable using terminal mode and moving files around (shit - tty or DOS only interfaces were not THAT long ago). For others, they do not want to further fuck up what is already fucked up. Actually, the tire change analogy may fall short. The process for changing a tire has not materially changed for 50+ years. The process to un-fuck a computer changes on each fuckery.

    It’s not just white, it’s Utah white. Bordering on the whitest of white (clear?). Most of these folks are likely LDS. I work with and have many LDS friends. My generation is filled with Dan, Brent, etc. Our kids’ generation (20-30) veered a little more: Mason, Tanner, Lindsay. This is yet another step. That said, there are Cutters, Kaylans, etc. at many of the private schools in suburban Texas. I am a bit offended by Qwaylon. Just name the kid Waylon, FFS.

    Clark. She'd pass at the right time; she'd cut to the basket; she'd actually hit a three.

    Baseball-reference has the info (I suspect you know that), but... https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/PIT/leaders_pitch.shtml Wilbur Cooper - 202 I am a Pirates fan, but too young to recognize that name. All-time saves? I would have guess Kent Tekulve. Nope - Roy Face, who I have never heard of Reds do not have any 200 game winners. https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/CIN/leaders_pitch.shtml That said, if it is players who have 200 wins and also played for Reds: Seaver is one... Here are the 120 pitchers with 200+ wins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_career_wins_leaders I did not realize that Tim Wakefield had 200 wins. Moreover, he's one of the pitchers who have struck out 4 batters in a single inning.

    That's what the CrowdStrike dev said.

    Can't tell if you are mocking me or thanking me or both. Not that it really matters

    In x86, Opcode+ModRM "00 00" is Add [EAX], AL. That will most certainly generate the page fault reported in the BSOD. The beauty of x86 is that screwing up a binary is fairly trivial. A kernel mode driver filled with nulls is an easy way to crash a machine.

    They are not. Just need the keys to get through to the command prompt. That said, you either had to save your keys from before or access them from your corp portal. The process is quite easy for those who are tech savvy. Less so for those who are not.

    Totally agree re: devops. As you note, some think devops is git commit -b prod git push

    QA is also considered a lower caste in the IT/dev world. Prod deployment QA is even lower than dev QA.

    As alluded to above, a couple of things could have occurred. (1) there is some interaction with another recently deployed "feature" in windows - one they do not yet model (2) they do all of their QA in VMs - and there is a hardware, timing, etc. relationship. Nevertheless, they missed it - and their name will live in infamy.

    True agile has that in tier 7 of the testing, which is customer-testing. Windows boot, post-deployment, will now be part of the "DOA Testing" adding 5 minutes to the CI, slowing developers.

    Agile for the win? Happened to me last night around 1130PM CT. Given it was not yet widespread and workarounds prepared, I followed the typical approach for this: reinstall w/ saving personal files. Well, sily me... I neglected to realize that a reinstallation of Windows would NOT reinstall the corporate image. FML. That said, even for technically savvy people, the process of fixing a corporate-image-installed will be a bit painful: request to boot into safe mode, enter the bitlocker key - that you will have to get off of your phone authenticated to your business (using mobile Edge), boot, remove a file. BTW, writing this from my Mac.

    I find the E & J show somewhat like the discussions at a family Thanksgiving get-together. One brother (E) works for a right-winger and is trying to convince himself (and everyone else) that he's moderate (he really is) without impacting his gravy train. This brother is a well loved "goofball" in hi friend group. The other brother (J) is a moderate-libertarian who thinks he's smarter than everyone. His smarts have resulted in a distressed family life and myriad failed relationships. (E) capitulates, realizing it's only 1x per year (or 2 hours per day) and takes the high road. Fwiw - I use their podcast as the background noise as I try to fall asleep some nights

    I have lived in 3 states since I was 2 years old (> 5 decades): Alabama, Indiana, Texas (alphabetically). Trifecta!

    boilerhorn replied to Derka's topic in Basketball

    Imagine if he had split his time developing his shot with developing his video game acumen. He'd have at least 1 3-pt FG at this point. Paying fans should be glad they are only being subjected to this BS in summer league. Even Reddick is not stupid enough to give Bronny real minutes. That said, let Bronny and Lebron start game 1 together. Have Jr. heave a 3 and feign a hamstring injury, allowing him to join the pro E-sports ranks.

    Bronny and I have the same NBA 3-pt shooting percentage. Gonna make sure I brag to my family and coworkers this week.

    Will refrain from asking @Nicole44 her middle name re: Rainey.

    If only Rozelle would have let him buy an NFL team.

    I hope I do not get banned for this, but each of us is going to die. Not much we can do about it. Wishing death on someone is a colossal waste of emotional energy.

    Westbrook w/o the appeal and athleticism? Barkley talks about high stats players on shitty teams. Perhaps the WNBA equivalent of Barkley needs to step up.

    "Let me get my shoes" https://www.mediaite.com/trump/let-me-get-my-shoes-microphone-captures-trumps-comments-just-after-shooting/ Followed a drudge link (perhaps to my disappointment)

    Did not try hard enough

    What in the ever-living fuck? He should be ashamed - and then impeached.

    IMO, we should not try to turn this into a 2nd amendmant rights, laws, Indiana farmer, etc. thing. Criminals will always find a way to have access to the materials to be criminals.
