Пришел в Эпицентр в синей футболке.

- 3 раза кто-то подходил спросить где что лежит
- Менеджер указала на меня типа "вон у того типа уточняйте"
- В итоге еще кассир на фудкорте предложила пробить скидку для сотрудников

Ждал когда уже зп выдадут

Re: Tetris Font

I did kinda the opposite and instead of making a font out of tetris I made a font play Tetris.

I did it with the Harfbuzz shaper which now have experimental support for embedding WebAssembly programs to shape fonts.

Talk where I show it off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1Drb9Vw9M

You can also see actual uses of this WebAssembly embedding to show that is not just for fun here: https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz-wasm-examples

Re: Innovation heroes are a sign of a dysfunctional or...

My goto example of a dysfunctional and bureaucratic organization is an example I saw in a finance company I worked for.

I was a on team that we were doing a major project. We basically ran Kanban but had to run "sprints" so we chose 4 week sprints to get it out of the way and we put everything on the board we had to get done that month to stay on track. Our pipeline was setup in such a way that you were required to have a jira ticket to push a commit. We were really crushing our timeline, doing 2x the work we were expected, a really great team honestly. But we opened up bugs and additional features in the middle of our sprints to track our work as we did it.

What this amounted to was maybe us saying we have to do 40 tickets this month, and wed be closing like 80. Everyone should have been thrilled by this development! Well we had a sprint review where some "Senior Project Manager" That wasn't really affiliated with our project but was some manager higher up was mad that us opening up new tickets mid sprint and closing them was ruining the org level burn down charts and expected delivery. They wouldn't give up on this, and said it was our fault for not estimating better (which sure, but we were beating expectations!). So we did the reasonable thing and improved our estimates! No of course not, we doubled our number of tickets and filled in "placeholder" on half of them, and used them as needed then closed everything out at the end of the sprint, where we were congratulated by everyone for our phenomonal estimation.

Re: Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup ...

This happened to me. I was wondering why my internet speeds were slow when I discovered that Microsoft was in the process of uploading my users directory, they had already uploaded almost two gigs when I realized. They also changed the path to these directories to something like C:\Users\name\OneDrive\Desktop\. Another poster in this thread claimed it's easy to reverse -- I disagree, it's a pain in the ass to track down the setting, and I shouldn't have to do this. When I did, it gave me an error for one of the directories and refuses to revert (documents?).

I don't like leaving negative or hyperbolic comments on HN, but this was enraging and unacceptable to me. It's hard to convey without coming off as unhinged. I only ever boot into Windows nowadays when I need to compile and test a Windows build of software. I understand Microsoft has built up good will through efforts like VS Code, but it's all undone because of things like this. I avoid MS products, they cannot be trusted.

Надзвичайна подія сталася на Одещині. Хлопець знайшов уламки ударного дрона в лісосмузі і приніс його додому. Він хотів розколупати бойову частину. Після чергового удару пролунав вибух і спалахнула пожежа. Травми виявились несумісні з життям.
