All of those messages went up at the same time and the answer to why is because that's when they collectively decided to intentionally understaff. The start of the pandemic was just a really convenient way of hiding that. They've never restored the numbers because that costs money and people are used to it enough to just deal with it now.

We humans are the only species with the power to destroy the earth as we know it. Yet, if we have the capacity to destroy it, so, too, do we have the ability to protect it. Each one of us depends on our community to survive; today our community is the whole of humanity. If we want to look after ourselves, we must think about what our community needs. This Earth Day let’s remind ourselves that we must learn to live together, to work together and to share what we have together.

My mum always used to say "wait" in a commanding tone when walking the dog and/or children and they got to a pedestrian crossing, and there would often be someone who was about to cross against the lights and would stop dead in their tracks. Now I know where Herbert got the idea for the weirding way.

Marketing hires a second or third echelon to stop them doing it, unless a ransom is paid.

The second echelon are not so competent, and marketing are not so careful.

One of the most embarrassing absent-mindednesses in software development:

• decide carefully what you want to do
• write a clear, well reasoned source comment and/or commit message explaining the decision
• forget to actually change the code.

1 1
Leeloo mastodon (AP)

On the positive side, you have documented what you wanted to do, and (presumably) a commit showing that you didn't actually do it.

Seems like a much better situation than having some code that doesn't make any sense and no explanation why. Like a few days ago, I asked myself why I added 120 seconds to the current time before displaying it. No comment, so a guess could be that it was a test that accidentally got committed, but I can't see anything logical I could have been testing. I mean, next time I run the program, it will already be two minutes later.

I appear to have just wasted pretty much the whole day playing an automation base-building game in a way that, when I take a step back from it, I don't actually find all that much fun. I don't know why my brain prefers to do the repetitive things over and over instead of just automating, like the game intends, and freeing myself to move up to higher-level game mechanics. I just sit there manually shuffling resources back and forth, getting bored, for no reason. Clearly I just have stupid-brain.

It’s a detail that none of us wants to think about…what will happen to our children and dependents after we die.

I remember making a #will before my kids were born and addressing the details felt grim even then.

But what if you have children with #SpecialNeeds? It turns out you need specialist advice, a standard will won’t help, it could make your child’s life far worse.

Worth reading.

Here's some incorrect advice being given out by Forbes magazine about announcing price increases. Contrary to the nonsense stated here, actually using straightforward terms and owning the price increase makes the customer feel like the company is being honest, whereas using weaselly neutral language makes the customer feel like the company is being evasive, cowardly and dishonest.
1 1
Mrs Beanbag mastodon (AP)
why would a price increase make a customer think they were being overcharged previously? that doesn't even make any sense.

"Lesbians have a strong history of supporting more marginalised parts of the community. We were there for gay men during the ‘80s and ‘90s when prejudice around AIDs and HIV was at a peak. So why would we not be there for the trans community, especially when they face a similar barrage of online hate, often founded on fiction rather than facts?"

Tracks. I've met gay guys with pretty awful opinions about trans people, but I've yet to meet a lesbian with similar opinions.

Phil M0OFX hometown (AP)

Selection bias (for the set of "people I've met") definitely applies here - so take this with a grain of salt. Equally I'm up for meeting new people ... just not necessarily ones whose world view boils down to "this group of people I hate should be dead".

edit: A friend just messaged me to say "yeah I've met a couple but they're really rare"

And that's really the crux of the matter to me: trans rights boils down to "everyone has a right to life and liberty"
(if there's an ethics professor in the audience who wants to poke holes in my world view and personal ethics - go for it, just cite your sources.. sometimes it's nice to have my views challenged because I've come out the other end with a better understanding of the world and myself).

I've run across a paradox where I am trans and therefore cool but don't think I'm cool so therefore I'm not cool.
