I'd totally give up all WFH if my commute was a sub-30 minute walk

My current place was a 5 minute walk. I moved and it's now a 5 minute bike ride, but I still have no desire to go into the office. My home setup is much nicer, I can do things like make lunch or throw in a load of laundry, I don't have to wear real clothes, and most importantly, I don't have to be around my coworkers.

I look forward to going back to the office occasionally. This being cooped up in my apartment for more then a year isn't healthy. Anyway, it's gonna be my decision at my new job since my manager and his manager are both based in the US while I'm in Europe and both had been home office based for over a decade and they made it clear they didn't care about where I did my work. edit: New office is gonna be 30 minutes walking or 15 minutes by tram.

Grats. I have an interview for a BI dev job on Tuesday that I'm now really looking forward to. Going from implementation consultant, which is a glorified tech support role tbh.

After a good chat with a potential hire today I had HR extend an offer, so hopefully that’s the end of my foray into the world of interviewing. Do people still do reference checks? Like actually calling references, not background checks. They seem fairly worthless IMO. Also, gently caress recruiters. I supplied them with a Calendly link to give to the applicant and they instead filled it out themselves and put the applicants phone number in the little notes field which I wasn’t loving looking for. So I was sitting in a worthless Teams meeting for like 10 min before re-checking the calendar invite. The recruiter had even filled in their own email, so the person didn’t even get the loving invite. Spring Heeled Jack fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Apr 24, 2021 |

Coffee Jones posted:hello linux friends You are on LTS. Your next LTS upgrade is 22.04 - you are on the latest and still supported version. 21.04 is for [usually] desktops running non-long term support. You would be upgrading from 20.10 to reach 21.04. If you really want to force it you can upgrade 20.04 LTS to 20.10 non-LTS to 21.04 non-LTS.

The best automation is someone pasting shell commands into a wiki and breaking it up with commentary so you can't even cut and paste the whole thing in one go.

1. Create script/config/whatever in an advanced editor on your local workstation. 2. If minor tweaks are needed, edit live on test system using simple console editor like nano. If major tweaks are needed, return to #1. 3. Once complete, deploy to prod through automation. None of those steps justify the complication of vim unless you insist on doing #1 from a console session on a '70s era terminal. I maintain the position that if vi weren't mandated in POSIX and SUS it wouldn't have lasted as more than a niche thing beyond the limited terminals it was designed around.

Our company doesn't have a test environment either. Closest thing we have are chromebooks that we're supposed to open suspicious files on. It was deemed that having a test environment on our network would be more risky than just .... yoloing scripts I guess? I mean they hired a nurse with an A+ and zero tech experience as a cybersecurity analyst so it could be worse.

It's okay to be wrong.  There are a massive number of editors out there, and unix nerds aren't so stuck in their ways that they never try new things. If vi was really that bad it would have died 30 years ago, so the simpler explanation is that a lot of people actually prefer it.

I like micro recently for envs where I can install it otherwise vi is fine and always there. People who use its as an IDE are psychos. Even stuff like spacevim is insanity. And yeah the VScode remote plugin rules.

I just discovered Power Automate. Holy poo poo, this is cool. If you have keys to the kingdom and can install dev tools and have permissions to script whatever, than it's not that big of a deal. However if you're on a locked down laptop like myself, it appears to be a golden goose. I just prototyped a Flow (TM) that is triggered from a Teams message -> scrapes the content of the message -> passes it to an Excel Office Script -> does some logic comparison against a network file -> returns the result to the user in Teams. Has anyone done anything cool with Power Automate? It seems to be a little talked about corner of O365. Microsoft page on Power Automate: https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/ *I realize this is tangentially related to "Working IT". A broader topic for my brothers and sisters suffering from the lack of local admin. Hughmoris fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Apr 24, 2021 |

Hughmoris posted:I just discovered Power Automate. Holy poo poo, this is cool. I've been using it heavily for about 2 years now and have built some really useful stuff in Power Automate, I have found the HTTP connector to be the most generically useful because you can tie into any system you need to touch that you have API access into (I do lot feeding into/out of Service Now) but the Excel stuff is also really nifty. You can use it to scrape the contents of email report files recieved by email and then feed the data into other Excel files, trigger Teams messages based off the file contents, send off a modified version of the report to someone else, etc. Also if you like nicely organised directories having it save inbound email stuff into predefined folders with subfolders for year/month/day as appropriate is very satisfying. Having spent a lot of time with it there are some really annoying limitations/gaps but overall I think its a really useful and simple tool that people (who don't have access/permissions needed for more powerful options) really should use more.
