  • Honestly the whole before/after nude photo aspect of plastic surgery feels so weird even if they're never hacked. No other doctors do this with photos. And I get it, portfolio and all that, but at least offer a discount of something. But everyone? For medical reasons? Not even just kinda creepy, that's meaningfully creepy. And as made evident by this breach, not even a little surprising that they have substandard information security policies. Anybody at the office could probably get access to the shared folder they probably stuff these into. And the doctor's kids all probably know his crappy password that never changes. So so so many ways this could and will go wrong.

  • I prefer "have/are you attended/ing a college/university? Yes/no."

  • I hear you can probably still get with crusher if she's a ghost. She's into that.

    So kill Crusher. Bang Guinan, and marry everyone's favorite empath.

  • Easier, definitely. And a unique street name. But it's quite hard to read the cross street name. All I can see is the "E DR" at the end. I probably wouldn't have bothered from just seeing the one street and no other text.

  • I didn't realize we were here to play geoguessr but you win!

  • Eh. Software is just data too. It's about solving problems with systems using those systems and other systems and that's software engineering. It's recursive and wherever you are in the stack you're standing on the shoulders of giants, and you're still doing engineering. 💪

  • I'm guessing I'm more well adjusted than I used to be? Or than my looks used to imply?

    Pretty good overall though, so no worries.

  • The board of directors has determined they should easily be able to afford to move somewhere cooler and even make a killing in water hoarding investing and resale. It's a cost they're glad to let us bear.

  • Here's the reason: it's not the industry that's the problem. It's the system surrounding the industry.

  • Well when you realize we treat school as glorified babysitting and not just education, part of the reason becomes more obvious. Parents work 40 hours so we need kids in school roughly that length of time. Especially when both parents have to work to afford to live.

    We need to uplift a lot about the entire system for it to work.

  • Personally I would strongly recommend learning how to do all of this. And then abandoning it for tailscale or something similar once you know what they're doing behind the scenes. It's incredibly useful knowledge but it's also nice to have so much of the process automated and best practices like key rotation done for you. Plus unless your network is hugely crazy or enterprise, you can manage for the really great price of $0.

    And if you really really want to self host (which I understand) there's headscale for a lot of the features.

  • The difference shouldn't be miniscule, though. If you've never been able to see a difference, my money's on not setting the refresh rate in Windows. It's not automatic.

  • Even without VRR there are noticeable improvements on the LCD deck from running at 60hz even when frame rates dip heavily, just because the frame timing is shorter so the new frames can be showed sooner.

  • My company uses a rather large tech support vendor called SHI.

  • Honestly I'd forgotten that this moment was so bad.

  • Whoops

  • It last ran a week ago and we technically haven't tested it. Just our hot replicas which also just deleted all that data.

  • Fortunately not really, in my case. I stay out of the pipelines game as much as possible and focus on systems that enable better and more obvious pipelines. And then sometimes go tune some pipelines but mostly I find them to be pretty atrocious UI and much too snowflakey.

  • Aw man I've been making this joke thinking I'm clever for years but I read xkcd pretty frequently. I must have inadvertently stolen the joke from Randall.
