Once the "final" season is over, I guess I will probably binge the whole thing.
Same here. I had my credit card out, ready to buy it, and I tried three different places (reputable places! My country's exclusive distributor, my ISP/TV company, and HBO directly), but none of them wanted my money, for different reasons. So if they don't want my money... they're not getting it. I have friends who will buy the DVD set when it comes out, I'll just borrow it, nah.
And your typical presenting programs should recognize that and use your laptop screen for showing a big timer, the slide notes, and a miniature of the next slide up. PowerPoint Advanced Skill.
I was giving a presentation to higher-ups AND to senior people we were the clients of. My big mistake was setting up the projector before setting up the presentation. The link to the presentation was in my mail, but when I went to get it, a colleague had just sent me a mail with a funny/sexy picture which got displayed on the big screen X-{
Nobody said anything, but I think everybody saw it.
Moral: set up your presentation *before* you connect to the projector (and shut off your mail etc. when you project, of course). Also keep NSFW in your personal accounts, because hey, that's the definition of NSFW.
I work in a noisy environment (lots of people talking about interesting things that I'm not supposed to listen to), so noise-cancelling headphones are a godsend. They need some sound to work well, though.
After reading this article I decided to try to listen to video game music while working instead of the usual classic concentration tracks. I do not need to be relaxed to work, on the contrary. After having tested video game music for a few weeks, I feel it makes a big positive difference.
These supposed crypto experts have never even heard of a physical HSM with multi-key.
They have never heard of bitcoin multi-sig or Shamir's Secret Sharing either. (For perspective, bitcoin multi-sig was created in 2012, and Shamir is the S in RSA, his SSS algorithm was published in 1979).
Slightly reduced life expectancy
However, for Chrohn's disease, accidents happen. I don't know that it would be so sudden as to prevent him gasping out the password to someone, though, but probably your clients are the last thing on your mind when suddenly confronted by your own mortality.
I'm reminded of the opposite story: someone forgets their password to the DNA site, and (instead of resetting the password) creates another account, sends in new DNA... and later calls their kid saying that it's incredible, wonderful, this DNA site has found that I have an identical twin somewhere!
Today I learned that operators like =/- exist... in some minds at least.

France had a 39-hour week, variously interpreted as eight-hour days and leave an hour early on Fridays, or 5 equal days of 7 hours 48 minutes, or (often) as "a minute here or there doesn't really matter, just work".
Almost 20 years ago France moved to 35 hours, with no change in monthly pay, recommending (I think it was a recommendation) that work days continue to be 8 hours but that employees be given whole days in proportion. The legislator (quite correctly IMHO) estimated that 48 minutes less per day would not have a real effect, being lost in overtime and "we don't count minutes". Since no general standard was enforced, this was variously applied as "one half day off every week", "one day off every two weeks", "two days off per month", and "we have an exemption so you continue working 39 hours but we'll have to pay you more". Also as "You will now work 35 hours for the same pay, this is marvelous country-wide social advancement that you should be very happy about, we're really sorry about the 32-hour week you had before but it's the law, you know", which caused some sour glares from postal workers.
20 years later, I don't know the exact results of the studies made (there have been lots), but it is sure that nobody is going back. Kids were already on 4 1/2 day school schedules, and parents are happy about spending more time with their kids (or paying less babysitting), other parents get time off when the kids are at school, and more simply people have gotten used to being able to take a day off now and then, to go to the doctor's or any other professional or shop not open on Saturdays, or just to do housework or work on a hobby.
Not opening duplicate tabs (unless I really want it, which I sometimes do) is a feature I've wanted for a long time!
As for fixed tab width, I'd prefer a button to list all my tabs with the full name in some dropdown, for use when there gets to be so many tabs that the titles disappear. An automatically maintained folder in the tab or bookmarks bar would be perfect.
I've spent the last week editing and copy-pasting between several dozen Google Docs and spreadsheets, and both these features were sorely missed.
These are lists of bugs in just gnome-shell. The reading is terrifying for people who actually want to work with Ubuntu. Some were known before releasing 18.04 "LTS", are still not fixed, and force me to avoid using full-screen video and to reboot my Ubuntu VM very regularly. Luckily I don't depend on Ubuntu for work, it's just a VM...
Got a mail not meant for me, sent by a girl to some girl friend of hers -- I'm a guy. Replied concisely and professionally. Got a laughing excuse in reply. Replied in the same vein, with reference to how the original mail tied in to my personal context. Exchanges continued for a few days, covering the fact that we lived several time zones apart, and culminating in "I really like talking with you, I have to ask, are you married?"
I have noticed that when I use a certain (shady) cable to charge my iPhone, it charges much faster, but then it doesn't hold the charge. When I use the normal cable, getting to 100% takes much longer, but the device lasts twice as long. Is that known/expected behavior?
For all those who say that 120 days off in a year is insane... just count the weekends!
I'm at about 55 days off per year (30 vacation days instead of the legal minimum of 25, 35 hours a week, spread out into roughly eight-hour days with one day off every fortnight) plus the weekends and national holidays, so that's easily 160 days of out of 365. And job security that most Americans can only dream of. Pay... well. I upgrade my vacations with a second job, which I wouldn't be able to do if my 35-hour week was five 7-hour days. That hour's difference per day works out to some 25 days off in the year, not too shabby.
I have read through the documents (for work). Once stripped of the hype, I would not be surprised if these "vulnerabilities" are literally correct as described. There is a whole lot of hedging going on down in the details, which gut the document of any really critical vulnerabilities. It would have been so easy to leave out a sentence to make any one of those bugs earth-shaking, but no. This makes me think that the document is carefully written to be as alarming, as scare-mongering, as possible, while not actually giving in to blatant lies that could land someone in prison.
*If* the vulnerabilities are as described, then the real-world impact is that you will no longer be able to really trust a pre-owned computer. Governments and security-conscious companies will no longer be able to take any computer (new or pre-owned), format or replace the disks, and declare the computer secure. Those "bugs" will need to be taken into account. Same thing for computer forensics.
Of course, this was already somewhat the case. You should already reflash the BIOS, and some hard disks and ethernet cards have flashable firmware, but it would seem that the impact of these bugs are that the manufacturer's manual for cleaning the system, more or less unchanged for decades, now has a few holes in it.
To sum it up, I suspect we paranoid people will need a much more hard-core procedure to sanitize hardware. A format/reinstall isn't going to cut it any more.
It seems as if it's a logic bug when upgrading the password store. The store is upgraded with the password entered. I think the reasoning behind the code may have stemmed from the fact that to upgrade a password hash to a more secure hash, you wait for the user to enter their password so that you can hash it with the new hash function... but that's not a reason to enable accounts that are disabled, or to update the hash if the provided one doesn't match.

Will they be able to use this to track down the authors of the DAO hack that prompted the split of Ether into Classic/Not Classic, or of any of the other recent mediatized multi-million dollar thefts?
Once I was nasty. I got a mail from the person's boss saying that I was a bad person for traumatizing their employee.
Once I was nice. I got a nice excuse and a follow-up question. After four or five exchanges, she apologized for being forward and asking a personal question, but was I married, 'cause she really liked talking to me?
After having proved to myself in this way that I really could take over the world if I wished, I now mostly ignore mis-addressed mails.

He's king in a country where there are "liablity" laws, perhaps.
