A mind-boggling amount of work has gone into lowering the barrier of entry. I think as the gap continues to close, it’ll become a less compelling “selling point”

This hits.

I stepped into a similar implementation. Took like 6 months and 10 people to support…

… changing the URL of the sftp server we connected to.

wget will give you a sniff of what the problem is. Microsoft Store will not.

I don’t NEED an application to necessarily pinpoint the error. Just even a rough direction. Any browser will explicitly tell you if there is a cert issue. That’s more than enough to go on.

I understand the mechanism, and why it is important.

I don’t understand why the error message from the store was nothing more than an error code, and why the MSKB for that code had absolutely no mention of a failed ssl negotiation as a possible cause.

Couldn’t install iTunes because my clock was wrong. That certainly wasn’t the ERROR I was presented with, but was ultimately the root cause.

That, coincidentally, was the very same evening that I decided to and did uninstall windows on that machine.

Oh, I couldn’t tell you what the 2 things are. I don’t have a keen eye. I’m just waiting for someone who does.

A keen eye would pick up 2 subtle but clever additional references in the background and related to the specifications of those particular drives.

You probably didn’t expect that comment to make me feel so old.

It can just sleep(1);

They wanna use grok to make thier own Wikipedia, right? Seems like a great arbiter of truth.

If someone wants an AI companion, fine. If it’s a crazy good one, fine.

But it’s strictly predatory for it to be designed to make someone feel like it’s someone else who was a real person, ESPECIALLY someone dealing with that type of grief.

You had to boot the mom out of the painting. There was no ambiguity on that one.

The pre-show shots hit the robot especially hard.

If it was fine before, no hw changes, no sw changes, and the only delta was the CMOS battery… really think it’s a bios issue

Sometimes.

In those cases, “there isn’t a yes/no answer to your question because…”

I ask my jrs simple yes/no questions all the time.

Did you open a PR? Does it pass the CI pipeline? Did you write a test for scenario X?

I’m here to help you, but my time is unfortunately limited. If it takes half of our available time just to drag out of you where you’re at we’re all worse off for it.

Always struck me as a city thing, not a white people thing.

Maybe things have changed, but in the small town where I grew up, people generally wouldn’t bother.

• there would usually be a gap delineating one persons items from the other’s anyways

• the person who was professionally scanning our groceries 100% had the expertise to see the gap and comprehend its meaning

• If (I never ever saw it happen, ever) they had grabbed something, someone would have noticed, said “whoops, that’s not mine”. Nobody would think someone was trying a scam.

I feel like this is an amazing measure of someone’s general level of anxiety. Or maybe a measure of how little credit they give the person scanning groceries? Both?

Yes, but only by a factor of about a billion.

TBF I’ve met scrum masters and product owners who think they’ve hacked the system by adding this to story AC, so…

Oh, shit… yah. Everyone can relax then. Rule of 3.
