sed harbors no demon beasts, in my experience.
On the other hand, by default using sed -i is where the demons come in.
No, sed, NOT in place. Not the first time. Show me what you want to do based on the instructions I gave you, and then we’ll talk about letting you play with the real data.
Things are no better stateside. To get social security disability takes years, and a lawyer who will take a portion of your back pay settlement when finally awarded.
And of course one can’t be earning money during the process.
Even with private short term disability coverage through employer, while it was more efficient than that, I still barely had the strength to get through it just to get partially paid for 10 hrs a week for a few months, in hopes that I can regroup, get things back together, and be able to make it through forty hour weeks.
Since that’s an external company, and our HR and payroll is a different external company, now I have to stay on the latter to make sure a) they get the memo and b) I actually get the pay in question.
Are you alternating? Or combining?
Watermelon and salt sounds perfectly sane to me because chemistry.
Tortillas, fruit, and chili doesn’t make sense to me, but I’ve appropriated a ton of foods that “just work” to me so…. I get it nonetheless.
I met my wife because she actively lied on the internet about a thing that was important, but the die was cast.
There’s a certain high in that lashing out that’s tough to let go of. I feel you.
I wish that I could explain how I came to handle that stuff better, truth is I haven’t a clue. I just knew I’d come too far to risk losing what I have over anger of all things.
No shade, that’s cool. IDGAF what you look like once I know you, and that you are in tune with the emotion of the situation.
Paraphrasing a folk singer I respect here, but “I used to cry when needed, I can’t cry for the life of me anymore as an adult.”
Tears communicate that either I’ve fucked up, or there’s something I legit misunderstood, and I need to take a step back.
In some ways, I envy your ability to do that. Professional me doesn’t scree around, personal me rather wishes I could cry it out once in a while.
I’ve spent a lifetime fixing my inclination to escalate at the first sign of conflict, and…. It’s been brutal. I’m thrilled to mostly be gentle these days, but it still requires work.
You never gave into the BS.
What was said internally is absolutely brutal.
How many others lack the energy, strength, or (bs) “social skills” to work through this?
Might actually result in change.
My own lived experience is that the blind/deaf orgs who pursue these things should be a model for other orgs serving folks w/ other disabilities.
Thank you for the TL;dw. Sincerely appreciated.
We moved from the Capital District of NY - which i loved - to the Midwest where my wife is from because money goes about three times as far here and I was still making NY money at the time.
Lots I miss from “back east generally, but not the prices.
I would have spelled that, “pay for my fountain pens and ink, and let me talk to my wife while she’s conscious,” but we are on same page.
Got caught young and “encouraged” into a stupid amount of hours so the boss could go fuck off. Won’t make that mistake again. WFH or not, if you expect 60+ a week, you can kiss my ass.
While that’s getting harder - RTO vibe is strong - I’m on same page.
I’ve had to pass on a few interesting opportunities, but Its served me well.
If I go out, it’s because I need something that can’t be shipped or door dashed, and/or it’s imprudent to pay the vig for delivery.
2x $4.99 bottles of wine? Yeah not paying $40 for that, I’ll take the risk.
Working on that POV, it’s basically always worth paying the vig to minimise my human interaction.
Edit: have WFH since c. 2012, so it makes zero sense to take the medical and driving risk to do otherwise, except for gig work in a pinch.
Demanding hybrid (“hybrid in Arizona”) is a clear sign the company is working towards RTO, and you’d have to wave a pretty big carrot to get me to move quickly anyway. OOP max met for the year, so…
Now that I’m $7k in on that stuff, why the hell would I make a move in May? I’ll suffer until the Sept deadline and peak season we suffer through, and then start looking.
Well, I’ll start looking before that, demo my loyalty by pushing out start date, and go from there. Like everyone else.
Wouldn’t cry if nothing else presents though, it’s not terrible company given that it’s non-union. Damn, I miss the CWA, but I was maybe twenty at the time and didn’t grasp the value fully.
A hard timeline on commit strikes me as less than ideal.
People are people. They have issues, they screw up, but they still write good code.
Seems like a brutal metric that encourages minimal commits without real change.
PolicyCancelledByCarrier
If canx notice has been received, processed, blah blah, eventually it’s set to true.
If/when a reinstatement is received, set to false.
Zero ambiguity, something along that line saved my tail when working with devs in different countries with different insurance customs.
Carrier sent letter telling policy holder to get bent because “fuck you, pay me?” Field is true.
Otherwise, or with reinstatement letter, field true.
Used it in a pinch once, and realized how incredibly awesome it is. Now, it’s my go-to.
Haven’t tried data and files on same stick, but…. Now I want to.
On one hand, I’m a fan of the ESP32 as a challenge.
OTOH, sometimes you actually need a full fledged computer for your semi embedded task, and sometimes you just don’t want to (or can’t be seen to, from PR standpoint) support Beijing.
While arguments can be made either way about the prior para, from a biz POV, it’s pretty binary.
Would love to find similar platforms that don’t involve those concerns and might theoretically be commercializable by hackers, but I’m not aware of many.
There’s an SOL on rape in most scenarios.
But no statute of limitations on copyright violations? WTF?
You say, as if that sentiment isn’t nearly universal.
Only reason dd hasn’t bitten me is that in my head, if and of make perfect sense as input and output.
Doesn’t mean I won’t make that error tomorrow, ofc. But I tend not to alias except harmless stuff to avoid that very problem.
I have this exact use case on a work machine, because the proxy flat refuses to prompt for the login, just goes straight to deny.
I own neither the proxy, nor the steaming heap of code that lives behind it, and I’m grateful for that every single day…
Pharm tech licensing varies wiiiiidely across the states. Some require natl very, some require basically on job training IIRC.
RPh not so much, but tech also has responsibility not to kill you with a misfill and more eyes are always good for preventing deaths.
The shit wages they pay in relation to being responsible in part for safety and accuracy (in retail) is a big part of why most retail is dangerously understaffed.
Same for insurance agents and real estate agents in many (most?) of US. HS, a couple weeks of “teaching to the test,” and a test is all it takes. Rote memorisation. - lots of those younger folks in insurance couldn’t define what they may/may not say/promise, or who is an “Insured” under a given policy.
