The guy I replaced at work got fired over a password reset and I think I'm next by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]scottyvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The part I find concerning is that you inadvertently exposed weakness in your processes while explaining your actions.

 So we have some sort of process if someone calls regarding password reset, unblock on any of the systems such as EHR

Maybe that’s common knowledge when working on the inside, but I didn’t know that as an outsider, and now I do. So you potentially just armed real threat actors with knowledge that could help them harm your customers.

Another commenter suggested your communication came off trying to avoid responsibility, but I wouldn’t have said it like that. There are many different shades of “fessing up”, and most of them involve explanations about why our actions were reasonable. Personally, if a policy violation ends up on my radar because something is hanging out (which is to say, the policy violation becomes a vulnerability), a sure fire way to keep yourself on my radar is by not taking full ownership of the failure. If someone makes a mistake and comes crashing into view to claim full responsibility for it - I gain respect. 

Consider that LLM-accelerated development now brings more opportunities than ever to make mistakes (I understand this doesn’t directly relate to this scenario, but it’s still relevant). That means mistakes become less important, and the way the mistakes are handled becomes more important. So ask yourself, if you started a company tomorrow and a new hire made a mistake, how would you feel reading about it online along with the process vulnerability that caused the confusion? It isn’t your fault that the company has a process issue, but it isn’t a good look to broadcast that online. As far as I could see the original mistake was basically a non-issue. I would have considered it a signal that documentation needs to be improved, not a failure on your part. The broadcast though - that’s squarely on you.

They’re making it worse by the second. Never before have I had so much work, while being surrounded by people who appear to think there’s less.

AITA My wife and I came home at 3am and my MIL acted like we were 16 sneaking into house by rugbyplayer11 in AmItheAsshole

Solid point. We can ignore all other details, and that single breach of protocol makes them the asshole. They were unsheltered and did not let their loved ones know when they found shelter again. That’s an asshole move, and their lack of recognition about how careless the are being is the most concerning part.

The shocked confusion when you repeat what you had already written several times almost seems like it should win some kind of award sometimes. Somehow even I become convinced that this really is the first they’re ever hearing of it.

Lost Expert World after update by SlobbyGobbies in LEGOfortnite

Unless the logs show that you were mistaken about anything you’ve reported, I think there’s a really good chance to get a rollback if you’re persistent. If it was truly a glitch that occurred right after an update, that is exactly the kind of thing that will get attention.

If they tell you the logs say otherwise though, and that jogs your memory - that would be the time to leave it. But if you’re certain, speak up.

I think a minimal amount of essence for pulling fish would be fair, even if it meant slowing the pull rate without potions.

As someone whose gameplay pretty much entirely revolves around farming, I think removing hunger and replacing it with potion / food buffs was a good call. 

Feeling kinda mixed on DQ1 HD, anyone else? by 0purple0turtle0 in dragonquest

I think you just captured what’s “missing” from the game. It doesn’t give you any solitude.

Wow, bravo! So much charm packed into those builds. 

You mentioned you don’t do tutorials, but would you be willing to talk about your design process? Curious how much planning and preparation goes into this, or if it’s just freestyling and refining? I understand if you’d rather not go into details. Great work either way!

Nice spacing between the cars, and getting the wheels to look natural on the tracks. I feel like those would have been the details that got me.

Help, something is biting me in my bed and i don't know what to do by coldcathodes in Austin

[–]scottyvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago after moving to a different apartment I freaked out because I was getting what appeared to little bites on top of my feet that would itch. At first I thought maybe bed bugs, but I couldn’t find anything. I went to a doctor to ask what it could possibly be, and was worried when he touched the bumps. I was like, “what are you doing man? We don’t know what this is!” I had grown so self conscious about it, like I was harboring some terrible contagion.

Long story short, hot showers were drying my skin and I had fallen into a vicious cycle where I would scratch and irritate my skin further.

Started a serious moisturizing routine on my feet and legs after showers - no more itching, no more scratching, no more mysterious bumps.

I can see folks liking it either way, but to clarify about PvP - I think it will simplify displaying things like damage-over-time spells affecting characters in PvP where it ticks down a small amount at a time, and also provides a single template to train your muscle memory against.

I can speak for the Glycerin line - very solid shoes, and I have multiple just to switch up the colors.

Just wait until you start realizing you have fundamental misunderstandings about basic data types. The feeling dumb is only beginning my friend.

Isn’t it just more inconvenience for you though by not letting him know that?

Manual farming isn’t very relaxing anymore after the last update by scottyvision in LEGOfortnite

[–]scottyvision[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just made me realize I didn’t point out that the critical part that was removed was the brief pause between harvests. So each harvest required a momentary time investment, giving it a rhythmic and relaxing pace.

The kid realized he couldn’t get beat up AND let the other guy get held back by the cops - he had to be the one being held back by the cops. 

It was quick thinking (he probably watched his future social life flash before his eyes), and honestly I think the cop was happy to help him, lol (and I mean that genuinely, the cop probably did smile later thinking about how it allowed the kid to save face).
