About 12 years ago, I promised an agent at Safeco (AKA Liberty Mutual) that they would never get another penny from me because they wouldn’t honor the terms of my policy, refusing to pay the full amount on a vehicle collision claim. They’re just another business that doesn’t keep their word. But I absolutely plan to keep mine.
Fake news! President Trump is the pinnacle of honesty and integrity. He would NEVER scam or rip us off or allow anyone else to.
I’m sorry, I’m really trying. I can’t even type that with a straight face.
PM: “How long is developing this feature going to take?”
Me: “Due to all the refactoring that’s needed --which I’ve been repeatedly bringing up for two years – just to implement it, it’s going to take about 6 months.”
PM: “Is there any way you can have it ready for the release in two weeks?”
Me: “No.”
PM: Proceeds to tell everyone that it will be ready for the release in two weeks.
Have to break those in half and throw them in the trash to prevent Satan from taking over your brain.
I would advise against it. Separation of concerns isn’t important until it is. If your host server is unavailable for any reason, now EVERYTHING is unavailable. Having your server go down is bad. Being unable to browse the internet when your host is down and you’re trying to figure out why is worse.
There are also risks involved in running your firewall on the same host as all your other VM’s without adding a lot of complex network configurations.
I initially read the phone number as “Ass I’m Late” and I was very confused.
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the Trigonometry is not in us.”
If you’re gonna do that it should only be after sending a very blunt CYA email.
There are certain things which are required of those who wish to serve in the Trump Administration. None of those things happen to be intelligence.

Don’t worry. We’ll totally fix all of them soon. Promise. Hand to God. They definitely will not be here five years from now.
So basically the same as a discard in C#?
Don’t look at me. I voted five. And then when the scrum master was like, “jubilationtcornpone, are you ok with it being a three?” I said “No.” But someone who thought they knew better decided it was going to be a three anyways.
From what I’ve seen, nothing will make a bunch of linemen hit the deck like the sound of high voltage switchgear opening when they weren’t expecting it.

A race to accrue as much technical debt as quickly as possible by focusing stricty on individual features while ignoring the long term ramifications of design decisions.

I will now proceed to spend the next three hours reciting a sample of the vast amount of useless information I have absorbed from Wikipedia.
I think you’ve got the right idea. Sears Roebuck built the building but it’s not about the company, which doesn’t exist anymore anyway. It’s an iconic Chicago landmark, a marvel of modern engineering, and one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. Just as impressive today as it was when it opened 52 years ago. Building naming rights change hands all the time but virtually none of them carry the history or status of Sears Tower.
On one hand, a name is just a name. On the other, a name can carry a lot of connotations. We live in a capitalistic society where even the moniker on a building has a price tag and skyscrapers are “disposable” if you have enough money. I think there’s some collective resentment to the idea that decades of history and “tradition” can be erased by writing a big enough check. Not to mention the fact that people don’t like change, in spite of the fact that everything around us is changing constantly. I suppose resentment over renaming such a well known landmark is easy for us to collectively resist as kind of a catharsis.
I came here specifically to comment this. Not even a Chicagoan but it will always be Sears Tower. I don’t give a shit who owns the naming rights.
When that part of your brain is basically just a 4 kg (9 lb.) toy poodle that is constantly yipping at its own shadow no matter how many times you’ve yelled at it to shut up.
