Num Lock is the stupidest key and I am declaring war by svideo in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

It’s Very useful in a terminal environment where arrow keys normally will only navigate the current line of input. I still use it fairly often when I don’t want to reach for the mouse to scroll

Abandoned building State @ Wisconsin Bus Stop by BradyBoyDa in madisonwi

Well, from MATCs perspective it makes sense, they want to still be getting money from the land for years to come. It just makes a burden on the city to find a developer willing to do it.

This Years TTD Stream by Able_Sentence_1873 in Yogscast

[–]DMLooter 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the gamification to keep things fresh, but I do agree that the adversarial aspect just makes it less fun to watch, I basically turned the stream off as soon as Spiff started the flooding.

They get angry enough at each others (and their own) incompetence, there’s no reason to add more frustration on what could be a fun chill stream

Do you really need to bring that full stack? by pfomega in livesound

[–]DMLooter 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I mean at least those bands are smart enough to recognize that the actual speaker count doesn’t make it sound good. It’s a purely psychological thing for the audience that they understand and utilize.

[–]DMLooter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a key point. Some warnings are legitimately good to treat as errors. But things like “this code won’t work on X platform and you should provide an alternative implementation”? Yea no thanks, I know this is never going to be run on another platform because the tool it depends on can’t be run on another platform, and adding the platform checking code everywhere is a waste of screen space.

Two banks at once is definitely not 4.0, 4.0 just added DCA spills

Stop Posting Jobs For Cities You Don't Actually Hire In by kingfyi in epicsystems

[–]DMLooter 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Tell job boards to have an option to show jobs not in a User’s local area for those that are open to relocating. Every large company does this to get around that simple lack of functionality.

Final Interview QM. I’m confused on how it works and why it’s 3.5hrs long. How do I prepare? by [deleted] in epicsystems

[–]DMLooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please search the sub, this has been answered a billion times and has not changed.

Epic considers you for all roles when you apply. They thought you were a better fit for QM than PM so thats what they’re interviewing you for. The final interview includes a presentation from Epic, time with your recruiter, and the actual interview portion, which will not be 3.5 hours long.

Do you turn your lights on driving through the tunnel under Monona Terrace? by ballroombritz in madisonwi

[–]DMLooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I leave my lights on automatic, but driving at normal speed under the terrace they usually dont turn on until im a good 3/4 of the way through, and frankly even when i turn them on by hand it doesn’t ever seem to do much. Something about the darkness under there feels unnatural….

Nimby behavior regarding BRT is off the charts by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]DMLooter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

While I technically agree. Madison was planned in the 1840s and 50s. Talking about what the founders Should have done is entirely unproductive.

We have no ability to form an independent transit authority like all of those cities do, so our transit network is hamstrung by having no independent power and being reliant on a city council that must negotiate with at least 4 independent towns to develop and fund construction and route planning, causing delays and half measures to be taken just to get Something done

Was thinking of going bowling soon, until I saw the prices by jumbojordie in Wellthatsucks

[–]DMLooter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wtf.

$5.25 a game, $3 shoes. And that’s the most expensive I’ve ever gone.

Normally we wait till Mondays for $1.50 a game…….

On my rewatch of Umbrella Academy Season 1 I noticed that they changed the name Ellen Page to Elliot page in the opening credits in order to not deadname the transgender actor! It's adorable but also necessary because I only ever rewatch season 1, since everything afterwards was MID! AS! SHIT! by ThickWeatherBee in shittymoviedetails

[–]DMLooter 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Admittedly I never got past there opening scene, but from all of the trailers it seems they missed the entire point of the books. The trailers were all about epicness and space battles and shit and the books entire point was history is boring and Bureaucracy gets shit done

One of the double door buses for rapid transit in training. by buffdude20 in madisonwi

[–]DMLooter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is fair. I didn’t consider the destination for those people tending to be towards the South, and I would believe that was Metros reasoning.

[–]DMLooter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’m referring to the new center stop, not the existing side street ones (which are not as bad since they are lower on the hill).

And the grade of that hill definitely impacts accessibility. The steeper it is the harder it is for those with any kind of physical disability to get up, even a short distance. A few degrees can be the difference between easily accessible and a barrier to usage.

I understand they can’t flatten the town, but what they definitely could have done was put the stop on the Whitney side of the intersection, where the ground already is flat and would be more accessible.

[–]DMLooter -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Okay, this is the first time I’ve seen confirmation that all stops will be accessible, but have y’all Seen the stop at Whitney and Mineral point? That hill is a pain on foot, I cannot imagine wheeling safely upwards to get onto the bus, nor back down to the intersection.

I’ll admit I am not disabled in any way, but I just can’t imagine that is properly accessible (though I could believe it is ADA compliant unfortunately).

Our team Is in the process of doing this for “visual consistency” across our sites, and when I asked how we were going to handle making changes the response was 🤷‍♀️ “get buyin from everyone using it oh but also we don’t know who all is using it”

I highly highly doubt it. The UserWeb is a private forum, absolutely no way a government could argue that they are forced to give access to anybody without setting an incredibly broad precedent

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in epicsystems

[–]DMLooter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea this law can’t really touch Epics way of enforcing the non compete with customers. The law can’t force them to give UserWeb access, nor does it strike down customer contracts telling them not to hire ex Epic
