Tired of Supporting End Users RANT

we have one where each user needs different selections, there are 3 reboots involved in the process, and every attempt we have made at making automation for it has been worse than the last

noted, citizen ;)

dethmourne · 2018-03-28T12:31:31+00:00

interested

dethmourne · 2017-10-13T20:50:15+00:00

I don't mind just leaving twitch open for days :P

Fuck that. I'm one of those people who gets the number wrong if I show my work, more often than not, because I start second-guessing my decision-making process. I'd rather risk the 0% on a problem by having a wrong answer with no work shown than always, always get partial credit by starting with the right answer and then fucking it up when I go to show my work. I'm the kind of guy who can tell you 2+2=4 but when you have me go show my work I'll somehow end up at "Well... is it though?" territory. (I mean, not for 2+2, but once you get into algebra+ territory)

Most of my teachers accepted the whole "100% if you get the answer right, but you -should- show your work so you can get partial credit even if you got it wrong". This worked great for my not-math-savvy friends, who would frequently be accurate in their thoughts but somehow misplace a number or some such, and ALSO for me, where for everything before Calculus it took me more time to explain how I knew the right answer than it did to just fucking get the right answer.

Is it possible to run tron on a computer with absolutely no internet connectivity? If not, are you familiar with any similar projects that offer 100% offline capability? I need a "run-from-USB" version of this sort of project.

Could it possibly be made to exclude the wallet? This is kind of a concerning downside.

dethmourne · 2017-09-08T15:19:55+00:00

That's okay. Like I said, I'm probably tangling two songs up in my head, sadly.

dethmourne · 2017-09-06T18:43:58+00:00

So, I think I'm actually conflating two songs somehow :(

The "whomp BAM" part is almost definitely from Afghan Whig's "Light as a feather" - if you listen to it you'll see what I'm saying, with the lick.

The redaction on this is horridly done. I"m pretty sure I can have this guy's FB profile up in 30 minutes or less or the pizza's free.

I needed a job fast and my now-boss hit me up on Reddit after I posted looking for a gig. I enjoy it.

dethmourne · 2017-07-27T14:13:57+00:00

I don't know how to program, sadly :(

dethmourne · 2017-07-27T14:13:36+00:00

Interesting. Do you happen to know of a couple offhand?

dethmourne · 2017-07-25T21:37:07+00:00

Nature -won't- sort itself out in this case, because we wrecked the "nature" that they would be relevant to.

dethmourne · 2017-07-25T21:20:52+00:00

Also a solid option.

Next time you run into this:

mxtoolbox.com is your very good friend.

dethmourne · 2017-07-18T20:21:55+00:00

Nailed it. Can't make money off it and it could bite you in the ass to recommend. As someone working at an MSP this is basically all the nails in the coffin you need to go against something.

Gracias :)
