  • Not sure 🤔

  • Now, that's the sensible approach, but we don' take too kindly to "sensible" 'round these here parts!

    Jest aside, I see the point in doing this in cases where the company actually deals with very sensitive stuff, but in terms of average app developing company... meh... Most people are smart enough to know not to share keys and creds, and most people who hang around the ol' Slack channels for a meme and a laugh really don't care about said keys or creds.

    In my case, I did my 6-year stint in full-on Corpo, then dipped from Start-up to Start-up, and it's always been the same story.

  • 100% down. My experience with comms security has been such that we were still shitposting on 'official' Spam channels with people who had not been employed at that company for months. One of them even slipped up and accidentally dissed one of his former teammates on the project team channel, and that's when they ejected him from Slack. About 5 months after he quit.

    They did love insta-deleting GSuite accounts without switching doc ownerships or transferring associated accounts, effectively annihilating a lot of vital design stuff. Stuff was super-secure after that, I'll give'em that much!

  • Not just that, but even works with general tension.

    Had this neighbor at my old place, she loved to replicate a full cinematic experience at 1 AM, played music very loudly during the day, sorta' calmed down after I started knocking on walls, but not really (she'd still go full blast with the movies up to midnight, still generously shared whatever she was listening to with the rest of her neighbors, etc.)

    So, being the socialite that I am, I started responding in kind. Not with blaring movies at night, but with trying to compensate for her concerts with my own, singing poorly and loudly around the house, stuff like that. And we kinda' settled into that routine of mutual annoyance.

    Thing is, though, I was attracted to her, but in a purely lustful way. And I'm pretty sure she had something similar going on her end, because the tension was palpable every time we met face to face. And, lemme tell ya', that wasn't the "I want to strangle you" kind of tension. Well, maybe some strangling, but not the main focus.

    What I tried to explain through this venting of unspent frustrations is that sometimes you just get the hots for someone you don't like as a person, and that would most definitely not stop either of you from bumping uglies. Quite the contrary, the interpersonal tension usually amplifies the sexual one. The wonders of biological imperatives at work!

  • "Your call is very important to us!"

    Edit: I am a fool. I have missed the obvious and objectively superior quip achieved through the transposition of a landing request onto the standard automated message, i.e. "Your landing request is very important to us." I apologise and take it upon myself to review my values and business strategies.

  • How much do you tip at a restaurant?

    Jump

  • As a Romanian, tipping here does very much help Hospitality/Delivery workers, as our wages are deep down the toilet.

    Our tipping culture is (or was, at least) pretty similar to the US's, 10-15% as a standard tip, 20% if you're flush and the service was notable (checking up on you occasionally, helping you make sense of things if need be, polite, nothing over-the-top). Same thing goes for delivery people.

    Nowadays, I suspect people have somewhat maintained the ratios, although this comes mostly as an anecdotal observation - I started tipping 20-25%, or even double that if I'm ordering groceries (because I stock up for weeks, so it's quite a bit to carry), and a LOT of delivery people have remarked that it was the largest tip they'd ever received (as an average example, about a 20RON ~ $4 tip to a 100RON ~ $21 food order).

  • What's the story behind your pet's name?

    Jump

  • Thank you! Yeah, it hit us pretty badly... Well, to be fair, every loss wrecked us, because we never treated pets as pets, but as family members, but that was the first death I ever experienced in my life. Taught me a very valuable (although unfortunate) lesson about human beings, too...

  • Ooooooh, that makes a lotta sense! I really should've abused my first ex's willingness to share her knowledge of Japanese...

    Edit: thank you!

  • I have no idea what any of that means, but I've recognised the word "coffee" on the cup and everything else became irrelevant. I want one.

  • What's the story behind your pet's name?

    Jump

  • I always choose based on personality, or let them choose for themselves if they're especially chatty.

    Some examples:

    • Screech, male cat, got him after weaning and the only things he could vocalise were variations of screeches. So, Screech. Also worked well with the fact that he had a full black coat, so you'd always hear him first.
    • Mimi, female cat. Found by one of my former coworkers next to an apartment building stairway, asked her what she'd like to be called. She said: "meeee..." in the cutest, squeakiest way imaginable. I asked and what else. "Meeee..." again, so that was that. She ended up earning it, she was exuberantly inquisitive and playful.
    • Maia, female cat. It was the most feminine name to also have a sort of benevolent but tired aristocratic aloofness. She was always bothered by your unrequested presence, always complaining with a bored chain smoker's croon of "mmmmaaawwwww..." She also obsessively groomed every living thing she had in her proximity, including a chicken (the only one dumb enough to not run away) and a hamster.
    • Lord, male dog. He was fucking majestic, looked like a miniature lion with black, white and copper stripes (about as large as a Golden Retriever). And he owned that name, always lording over the place. Ironically, got poisoned by an envious neighbor (I'm serious).
    • Ralph, the (happy) exception, male dog. So, this guy, had been my brother since I turned 10. First time I met him, he was slobbering. And he was a German Shepherd / Alsacian mix, these guys don't usually drool a lot afaik. But my guy was dripping. So, naturally, I wanted to call him Spit. I mean... naturally! Luckily, mum intervened with this one and declared him Ralph, because it was the friendliest* German name she could think of at the time. And he wore it well, he was always vivacious, but calculated.

  • "Deleted by creator" sounds like the poster was destroyed by God.

  • "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" isn't a good saying

    Jump

  • Yep, seems to me to hold up in the metaphorical sense as well.

    Not arguing against the genetically inherited traits, even beyond the purely aesthetic/structural ones, like inclinations toward certain ways of processing information, nor do I ignore the fact that they're not 100% heritable. But even as such, nurture (which I view from the belief that the entire village shapes the person) can generate a completely divergent personality, and the breadth of development is directly proportional to the breadth of exposure samples (at least to my mind).

    And let's not neglect the more practical similarities as well! Different types of flora require differently sized "privacy bubbles," areas of earth reserved exclusively for their individual sustenance, otherwise they'd essentially choke each other out. We can see something very similar in the development of children who are too closely bound to their family through mechanisms of excessive control, their potential ends up being smothered.

    Edit: disclaimer, I'm working with 12th grade Biology and a Bachelor's in Theatre Acting as my sociology background, so I actually expect to have botched something up in what I said. Salt is advised.

  • What do you forget to do?

    Jump

  • Oh, I type out a full list every time on my phone, check it about 3-4 times when starting, then I get cocky as "of course I remember what's on the list, I read it 5 minutes ago..." and proceed to forget about that one thing.

  • What do you forget to do?

    Jump

  • I usually forget to buy something while grocery shopping, whether it be in person, or ordering. There's no pattern behind it, the items are completely unrelated to a theme (eg. coffee, soap, mouthwash, bread, milk, eggs, potatoes, salt, etc.) as far as I can tell, I just forget to buy something.
