Unrelated: tables in word documents make me rage like nothing else. They are fucking unholy.
Fun fact: this past summer and colleague and I spent literally 2 hrs editing a table in Word and dealing with splitting the table because it was a revision-managed document.
I also had to learn on the fly how to insert section breaks so I could handle revision history per-page.
And we had to preserve page numbers to keep from asploding the entire rev history.
I had never been so angry when as when I found some automated report that dumped out a 50 page word table (first off, holy fuck, xlsx plz) and did it as one table per page rather than one table. If you wanted to reformat the table you had to reformat every single page rather than just the whole table at once.

Tables in a Word document? Oh fuck that. What the fuck.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
My coworker was having trouble getting a page on our shitty Intranet to behave. I went to look at it and it was a tangle of tables nested in tds nested in other tables

I've never grokked even the first thing about UI programming.

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Me: Sets MS Word table properties to have all columns in each table be the exact same size.
MS Word: Makes every table have infinitesimally small but visually noticeable variations in column width, despite showing the columns as the same size, because it knows I’m the sort of person who will notice and it will make my eyeballs bleed.

I don't see any tables there...
Yeah that's what happens when I don't use tables.

Fuck my life. AT&T is having intermittent call failures across the entire southeast. The problem is that AT&T owns the entire southeast backend so even if you are on VoIP like Bandwidth.com or Verizon cellular you will experience intermittent call failure, inbound and outbound.

In our defense, it's a work instruction that needs signatures at every step. If we built it in Excel instead, the headers and footers would be entirely fucked up and we couldn't manage revisions on a per-page basis. Not that Word is a "better" solution, so much as the only tool we have that kinda works. When you work for the Fed, you use what you're given, or you go through 4 months of paperwork hell to get the right solution approved, pushed to your machine, and working without problems. And then you become the only person who can use said program.
A user told me today that she needs some software installed on her pc because does web conferences and doesn’t want to do it from Citrix because the vendor could see the info on her screen on the Citrix server and there’s no way for her to prove she didn’t show them confidential info.

Why? It's very simple, elegant code. It reminds me of what CSS tutorial websites used to do when I was learning CSS. They'd do this sort of thing exactly to demonstrate the power of CSS and the ability to execute complex layouts with simple code.
The only change I might make is to add a superclass about .black and .white to reduce some code redundancy. Also add the standard Aioua Christmas theme.
I think this would be an apt point in time to dig up one of bowen's posts about how vowels should be a programmer.
But I'm not a good person so I'm not going to do that.
They've already stuck me in the devops mines.
It's all python scripts and Java code these days.
I still really don't like actual development. Please stick me on behind the scenes tools and infra that I can bodge together to my heart's content.

Are 2-in-1 laptops that don't come with a keyboard, considered to be laptops?
I'll split you into two teams, discuss your answers amongst your group, and then come back with your final answer.
Like, a Surface?
No. I believe, technically, they are "slate"s

It does really depend on the context. If you're talking to the execs about the number of user desktops vs portable computer like objects, I'd include Surfaces into the laptop category. I would fit things like iPads into "tablets".

Just last week.

You're not really a programmer until you want to murder a user.
You're not a senior programmer until you want to murder all users.

The correct answer, however, was "yes."
Which none of you got.
And neither did I. :sad:

I was talking to a very proficient IT guy.
Thawmus is saying we are not very IT proficient people.
It's true. I'm not. I just hang out here after sneaking in with some SenorAmor threesome jokes and y'all let me stick around.
