we always had a beer or drink or two at former company off-site lunches, and wine and beer was always served at any company functions (and a separate weekly friday afternoon beer'o'clock event staffed by employee bartenders), but i also live in ~wine country~ so booze is nbd. however i grew up in dry counties in the bible belt, so i am terminally uncomfortable with public drinking. i wasn't forced to have a beer or anything, but i kinda avoided going to events because it felt like drinking was compulsory lol

EricBauman posted:what im saying is humans should be like apis and just respond with 200 without any other formulations needed okay point taken but realistically half the APIs you encounter are gonna 500 if you so much as provide the wrong case in a header value, and the other half are gonna 200 with a body of "CRITICAL ERROR CONTACT SUPPORT IMMEDIATELY" (hello salesforce) they are, after all, designed and constructed by humans, and maintain all their faults they just do so in a slightly more consistent fashion edit after catching up on thread: i was amused at how cloudflare had friday beer meetings where, at some point well into my tenure, the CEO said "we decided to make BEER a meaningless acronym early on because we didn't want to exclude anyone that didn't drink" this was arguably a good stance, especially given that there was a decent-size cohort of south asian muslims on staff due to the company's choice of major office locations the american offices had a reliable cohort of people who either skipped the BEER meetings entirely or promptly left to the auxiliary "drink whiskey and complain about bullshit" ad-hoc meeting that happened at essentially the same time Qtotonibudinibudet fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Apr 23, 2023 |

Pulcinella posted:Turns out Humane’s (Hardware start up with a bunch of ex-Apple people) revolutionary new device is…a projector in your pocket. So instead of holding your phone in your hand you can hold a projector in your pocket and nothing in you hand. You still need to hold up your hand as if you are holding a phone so it has something to project onto. Probably also doesn’t work very well outside. wasn't this posted before I guess it was just concept art so good job implementing your stupid idea

mediaphage posted:highly variable ime gonna keep reposting this quote:I started a new job last month. At my previous employer, they were very lax and laid back. They had work sponsored beer Fridays at the end of every week, and they served beer at the work cafeteria, with a limit of one per person during the work day. That being said, I usually drank a Busch Light or an IPA every day with my lunch for the past 2.5 years.

at a previous job we had a group that would do board games occasionally after work with some beers, or hang out on the patio (it was a really nice downtown 4th floor patio) with some beers and/or wine. one of the few things i actually miss now that i work from home

we used to go for beers on a Friday lunchtime years back but that's kind of died out now, except christmas anyway. that used to be a "go for lunch and don't come back" absolute rager. otoh evenings are fair game and we have a bar upstairs one night a week. gonna miss that when I leave, though seeing as I'll be working literally across the road I can probably get signed back in now and again

BMan posted:wasn't this posted before It definitely feels like something I have already seen a million times in generic sci-fi settings. And it also basically only works in sci-do. Something that could actually project real 3D holograms into empty space but is also somehow tactile would be incredibly useful. But it basically only works if you can 100% do the fantastical sci-fi concept, somehow. Combining a pico-projector with a pager isn’t it. “Welcome to our home! This is the wall we intentionally keep blank so the family can all stare at it while we project our phone screens onto it. I wanted to hang the one picture anyone in my family has of my great grandmother, but we needed the flat surface.”
