A really important thing to remember with all of these licenses is that they’re only as useful as your ability to enforce them… in court. And there’s a non-zero chance that at least some of these are practically unenforceable anyways.
As a programmer, I don't even know what we're looking at. A switch, I would guess, but I haven't seen hardware in years. In any case wouldn't "port 21 <bottom|top>" been better?
Yeah, I had never seen a connector that looks anything like that, but I figured I was just behind the times (since it didn't look like Ethernet plugged into it to me)
Its not new tech but you’d most likely only see this in a datacenter or buildings with 10 Gb connections as this is fiber optic cabling. One would need an SFP to actually connect it to the port however. Also the tips of the fiber were probably scratched when installing it into the vent holes so the whole cable will probably be replaced and then fixed, so there are multiple failures here.
Perl? Nah, in this country its vb6, C#, java, gupta/centura and javascript :')

But none of these are real, in the real world IT won’t touch your issue unless you create a ticket, then when you do they just never do anything about it anyway
I encountered “lawful evil” once. My answer of “I know what the problem is. I know how to fix it. But because you have no clue about what this company actually does to make money, you took away my ability to do it. So now I’m here, wasting both our time” didn’t seem to go over very well.
Ehh. Depending on the industry and issue, thats wholley justified, not only from a “least privilege” sense, but from a regulatory one.
Step over into cybersecurity and you end up spending all day clamping down on usability because the company has legal requirements to meet to continue to exist. Many of the things we are compelled to do are overeager and overly pedantic, but it’s either “do it, pay up, or shut down.” The execs tend to prefer “do it” in my experience, which makes everyone’s day a bit more tiresome.
So its entirely possible that was out of their hands.
Not to mention, how frequently the “I can fix it on my own” guy ends up making things worse.
Like my coworker who insisted he knew how to install a monitor and then couldn’t figure out why the display port wouldn’t work with a usb-a adapter. It had a normal DisplayPort plug and didn’t have a thunderbolt adapter (it’s a desktop.)
Rather than update the ticket that got him the monitor, he created a new ticket.
I can’t complain too much. IT guy likes me so he took the extra monitor and gave me a third one.
In this case, none of that applies. I do industrial programming. 99% of the ethernet networks I have to connect to don’t have a router, and nothing is running DHCP. They locked out my ability to manually change my IP address.
That shit is why I bailed on the cybersecurity industry completely, with no thought of ever returning. I’m an engineer (software aside, I also have an aero engineering background). I wanna build cool shit!
Well on Reddit, programmerhumor was mostly populated by people weirdly proud of how bad they are at their job, so I don’t see how Lemmy was going to be different.
Not to mention the fact that it’s programmer Humor. Not programming advice. which means that there are usually less serious comments to be found that may or may not be good advice. But I suppose some people have no sense of humour.
You know, you do you in Humor communities. I personally don’t expect to find the most serious of comments under posts in those.
Anyhow…Naturally there is a good argument to be made about making good comments. And that it may be a good idea to not comment things that are probably obvious. Just so that the file is a shorter read.
Because they’re playing a role, an actor so to speak, they’re not presenting their own personal opinions. They’re vocalizing and embodying the output of a series of complex internal mechanism, it’s a slow moving self optimizing system beyond the comprehension of any individual working with in the system.
CEOs are obsessed with value derived free of all that messy human labor. It would make sense if they didn’t still want the people they fired to pay money to talk to the robots.
Virtually all of new projects created after certain years. Younger devs prefer setting up a discord server first than setting up a documentation site/wiki. I feel old.
They usually have a read only channel where the devs post how-to’s and tutorials. You know, something that could’ve been put into a wiki or documentation site instead.
