Twitter owes my employer money and I am not expecting us to ever get it no matter how many emails management asks us to send threatening collections. What will collections agencies pay for that kind of debt, anyway? They won't be able to get it, either, not until bankruptcy court and only maybe then.

Twitter is far from judgment proof, you get a judgment you can enforce it. If they don’t pay you show up with a sheriff and start seizing poo poo.

Mister Facetious posted:You don't need to play video games to have a good reason for a discord, setting one up as a business/club/influencer/employee conference room/etc., whether open or private, is brain-dead easy. If you have a large extended family that isn't horribly dysfunctional, estranged, and nobody rememberers who lives where, and you want everyone to stay in contact with each other, it's more efficient than Facebook. I think at some point you gotta sit back and look at the big picture, at human behavior in general. It's obvious the majority want software to be about specific tasks and want to follow trends. No software will ever be the be-all end-all program for any particular task, not because we don't technically have some of them, but because human desire is fickle. I used to argue this same song and dance back when ventrillo was replaced with mumble, and then others took up the mantle when mumble was replaced with discord. Complaining about who is or isn't using the right software is an eternal debate with no end.

Under keyboard and input method there is a auto fill service, that needs to be set to bitwarden (or whatever PW manager you use) It prompts you to do this at install.  Then it just appears above the keyboard

Jira can be great. Jira can also be a massive timesink where keeping Jira up to date takes more time than actually doing the tasks. It can also lead to people wanting/expecting all the info about tasks to be on Jira, which is a terrible system since the ability to search completed tickets is awful by design.

Jira worming it’s way into everything is pretty core to the business model since it’s an enterprise saas app. I bet we’ll see some interesting new competitors now that we’re out of a perma bull market and IT budgets are slashed everywhere. There might finally be some interesting ideas if everyone stops trying to be loving salesforce.

https://twitter.com/lindberghbabyy/status/1608021725010186240 Saw this in the CSPAM thread. Apparently it's one of those first-month-free recurring monthly charge scams they make hard to cancel, which would work well on people with depression.

Two more companies have entered the layoff fray: Salesforce says it's cutting approximately 10 percent of its workforce (so about 8,000 people, give or take) and reducing its real estate footprint, and Vimeo is eliminating 11 percent of its employee base--largely in the sales and R&D departments--after cutting 6 percent of its workforce last summer.

They offered HD and larger file sizes back when Youtube was still pegged to 100MB, 10 minutes, and 480p. IIRC, they still deliver content in higher bitrates. Their big things now are serving as a marketplace for VOD content and offering a white label streaming platform.

Video of Tesla's "full self driving" being really bad at snow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_swe1pXXgNo&t=63s Every time he lets go of the wheel so the software can take over it starts gunning for the curb

To be honest I can’t imagine it’ll ever reach a state where driving in snow can be a truly handsfree activity. The human eye struggles to distinguish snow from things. The real problem is the car allowing autopilot to turn on in such conditions.

Based on a recent knuckle-drive home (mostly went 20 MPH on a 7 mile stretch that I rarely go below 50) in an awful snow storm, am I crazy in thinking the radar-type detection that Musk derides could do better? Or do gales of snow pretty much disable any known technology from detecting curbs/ditches?

Radar and Lidar are extremely useful in bad weather to help you not drive into something changing lanes

Or do gales of snow pretty much disable any known technology from detecting curbs/ditches? It depends on the design. In practice, the parking sensors on the front of my Golf freak the gently caress out every time snow gets stuck to them, which is every time there's a large amount of snow on the road. I think at a certain point it will automatically disable the system but there's a point at which, every time you slow down, "HOLY gently caress THERE'S SOMETHING 1mm AWAY, YOU'LL SURELY HIT IT!" The other thing that's going to be tricky about getting snow-driving correct is that plows do odd things, and a lot of times the clearing of "a lane" won't match up perfectly will the lines painted on the road. You and I know how to handle that situation based on observing the drivers around us and reasoning about what everyone's doing. An automated system is not going to do well at that.

You can tell when a site is using it because they all have that same layout for the videos.

Look the easiest Solution for the "snow" problem is just remove the snow form the equation. Some sort of automated flame thrower on the front of the car should be able to do this reasonably acceptably for about the needed twenty of or so foot in front. Look honestly this is such a simple solution I'm not sure why it isn't already the standard!

You could make something go on a guided rail, with giant fans and plowers in front that keep the road that has those "rails " clear and people could board a bunch pof long cars on the rails to take them along.

While you're solution seems like it is "practical" and would "work efficiently and as intended". I feel like it may be better to go in a different direction with this.

duz posted:When he fired the lunch staff, he switched to giving a meal allowance that was less than what any meal nearby cost. I wonder if it was more than it cost to just keep the lunch staff on board even without counting extra productivity from people taking a shorter lunch in office. In office lunch is a nice perk but a lot of places offer it because if people are taking 30-45 minutes (or less) for lunch instead of a 1 hour lunch then the company's getting some extra work out of it with can further offset the expense for them which still being a net positive for employees who don't need to go out and find a place to buy their own lunch.
