What Physicists Have Been Missing

An exciting new theory reconciles gravity and quantum physics. I think it’s wrong. But I may be too.

75 years and the quantum/observable universes paradoxes still have me waking up at night in a cold sweat...

VSCode snuck an updated glibc requirement to the Remote SSH extension in the 1.86 version. As developers themselves, they should know that the people using VSCode, especially with Remote SSH, do not have the ability to update shared development machines. The update should at least warn you. A simple test would be even better.

Teams rustles me severely. I hate having an IM interrupt the flow of my work. I have it set to permanently show as offline - I'd close it completely, but I need to keep it running for emergencies. Problem is, at this point, everyone in the company knows I just have it showing as offline. I've tried putting up a status message to email unless it's an emergency, but still get 20-30 IMs per day about nothing.

The absolute worst: someone sending "Hello Kobayashi", when I finally reply nothing. Or, even worse, them replying with "How are you today?" then, after I reply to that, seeing them typing something on their side for like 10 minutes. Fucking put your question in the first goddamn IM, we both know you didn't care how my day is going, spit out what you need.

If someone has a status that effectively boils down to "I'm not going to respond right now", then I think the expectation is that it's ok to leave a message, don't expect a response. Is the problem that you can't read their message and respond later because it shows you've read it? You can opt out of that, however it goes both ways and now you can't see when others have read your messages.

sounds like you need to bring in your own personal computer to do all the actual work and leave the company computer running behind you where you can ignore it. I do that too, except instead of 'actual work' it's porn and foh.

Every time I get a DM from one of the customer support people and it’s just a “Hello Koushirou” I know I’m in for a bad fucking time and my day is ruined before I even get to hear what crap issue is about to come my way. For the love of god, just ask the damn question and skip the pleasantry bullshit.
