ARR I think is Annual Recurring Revenue

It's probably using WebView, or whatever it's called where an android app brings up a browser window. If you have Firefox as your default web browser, apps will use it instead of chrome. It's usually pretty nice, because if you have adblock in Firefox you also get adblock in the app.

It's possible that the sign-in webpage wants to talk to the camera before returning control to the app.

If it's trying to talk to a device over Bluetooth or USB, it's not supported in Firefox. Mozilla refuses to implement WebUSB because they think the danger of letting people accidentally flash malware onto a physical device outweighs the benefits.

I guess it's from January and not out-of-the-box new. But it was new to me.

This could almost be funny if the reverse side said something like "He's too heavy for me". Even then, it would only work because you're expecting a "haha marriage bad" reference.

They aren't the cheapest, but I really like using GripStics to reseal bags. As long as the bag is not made of a very thick material, you can get an airtight seal (Eg, good for plastic-y foiled bags, not so good for a bag of flour made out of paper). There's no mechanical movement at all, so they'll never break.

The episode where Neelix dies and gets ressurrected by Borg technology is up there as one of the best Voyager episodes. I'm just annoyed that Neelix's new relationship with religion and death never comes up again in later episodes.

This is what the bathroom from the house on Blue Lick Road looks like after renovation.

There was nothing RESTful or well planned about this API's interfaces, and the work to do something like that would have been nontrivial. Management never prioritized the work.

At a prior job, our ~~API~~ load balancers would swallow all errors and return an HTTP 200 response with no content. It was because we had one or two clients with shitty integrations that couldn't handle anything but 200. Of course, they brought in enough money that we couldn't ever force them to fix it on their end.

 

In media, there are sometimes stories where a person is cloned/duplicated (usually with identical memories) and the clone is murderous towards the original. Usually it's something like "I knew there could be only one of us, and you would do the same". Sometimes, they're able to work things out and can share a single public identity, or duplication gives one copy a chance to do go off and live a new life that they always wanted.

How would you and your duplicate get along? Assume you are living like you do today, in a society where duplication is unheard of and has no legal precedent.

 

Preface: This thread is less about asking for reasons to stay/go, and more of an attempt to not feel alone.

We have the means and opportunity to leave the United States in the near future. As much as we don't want to upturn our lives, we also want to live free.

Reasons to go:

  • We are not confident that the current political order will do anything but make life worse for trans people
  • We are not confident that any political order in the next few elections would try and help trans people
  • Living in the USA with documents that don't match gender identity is a red line for us
  • It's clear that the USA has been like this for some time. It just happens to be our turn

Reasons to stay:

  • We live in a safe area of a "safe for now" state (Counter-counter: for now)
  • We recently settled down here, thinking it would be for the rest of our lives (Counter-counter: It's "just" material stuff)
  • We have queer friends whom we'd be leaving behind
  • Why should we disappear from our homeland without a fight? (Counter-counter: What kind of fight do we have the physical/mental energy to put up?)
  • The places to which we can escape could just as easily turn against us

Has anyone else been wrestling with this? Most of our queer friends do not have the means to consider flight like we do. Additionally, our non-queer friends who would have the means don't see the same danger signs that we do. It just doesn't seem like we have anyone to talk to about this.

 

I hate every interaction with our tooling. I loathe our older-than-dirt source control system. I hate our 4+ hour build times from scratch. I can't stand our "never plan shit" development process. I despise waiting 3+ months to see my changes in prod. I'm baffled by our RTFM onboarding process when the "manual" is some document written at project launch that's never been updated in the 10 years since.

My current task is simple, took a short time to write my code. But I've had so much trouble with tooling that the process of submitting a code review has stretched over a week. At this point, I know what I can do next to fix it, and it would take maybe 20 mins to do. However, I can't bring myself to even do that.

As cruel as it feels to say, my manager is like some NPC. I am on two teams, one of which I meet with every day who doesn't understand the work I'm doing for team #2. Team #2 meanwhile consists mostly of people I've never met, not even on video calls.

The company is huge and I don't feel like I can make any impact. My plan at this point is to try and hold out for my 1 year shares to vest and then bounce. Take 6 months to brush up on dev-ops skills and then look for a new line of work.

I am a cisgender man with dual citizenship between the USA and the UK. My husband is a transgender man who does not have UK citizenship.

As part of our threat modeling, we are developing a shortlist of nations where we would migrate if things get rough. The UK, while being on a worrisome trend line with regards ro trans rights, made the list because it would be relatively simple for us to move and work there with my citizenship already sorted.

Could any UK trans people help us to understand the GRC? My husband has fully transitioned with respect to his US documentation. When we married, he was also a man. Since all his documents match, could he get by without a GRC, or would he be forced through the humiliation of immigrating as his birth-sex and then acquiring a GRC once we moved? Would a GRC be necessary to receive basic healthcare and/or hormones?
