@AndyK a central web-based ticket system will let your global teams co-ordinate on larger issues/deployments
you can also see over time if there are local reoccurring issues
your end users are kept up-to-date with how their problem is progressing

but we had access to both. While the mothership handled their tickets, they handled ours and vice versa
we also had "per team" queues
So we'd pass on tickets to say R&D
 
Burgi
Burgi
@AndyK you and someone from HR need to go visit your teams ASAP to win them over and stamp out any dissent
then you need to get a full asset list of kit done
you might find that location D has 10 spare laptops or something that location B needs

Now Live: Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2017 Results
Kevin Troy on March 22, 2017

What do developers want? And how do they get the job done? Every year since 2011, we’ve asked developers these questions (and many, many more) as part of our annual Stack Overflow Developer Survey, the largest and most comprehensive survey of developers in the world.

More than 64,000 developers told us this year how they learn and level up, which tools they’re using, and what employers should know about working with developers.

Our first analysis of these results is now live.

Check out the findings now to see which technologies are the most popular, most loved, and most dreaded in 2017. You’ll al …

Podcast #105: The Wait is Over! Developer Survey 2017 results are in.
Jess Pardue on March 22, 2017

There are only a few things that you need to know about today’s episode:

Joel is away so Jay has taken over the podcast using Stack Overflow’s new patented JoelBots™ technology.

We are joined by data scientists Dr. Julia Silge and Dr. Dave Robinson to talk about some of the most interesting and fun questions from this year’s Developer Survey. Over 64,000 developers responded to questions like “What languages would you like to stop using?” and “What fictional programmer is the most annoying/realistic/inspirational?” (And why is the answer to all three “Mr. Robot”?) …

in Super User 2014 Election, Apr 22 '14 at 14:25, by allquixotic
I think if you can get 2-3 solid years out of a user, as an active participant and moderator, you've gotten enough "value" out of them at that point that there's not really much more they can do; their contribution kind of plateaus out

Honestly I completely forgot about how misleading his question title is from his actual question
I have a meta question
What to do when answering a 5 year old question with a title that doesn't quite match the question?

do we edit the title, or do we answer against the title (thinking that search engines have it indexed well by title?) idk I guess we edit the title?
@djsmiley2k true, it has little to do with the title of the question but the guy said his real question is how can other programs use this feature, well not everyone , actually only a handful will know how to make a powershell script to use the registry solution. so that third party program is a really good asset
let me virus total it, but Im sure it's safe

So. RA is normal when I am not around. That is one way to answer my question.

So it turns out a clean install of Windows breaks and needs reinstalling much quicker than a 5-times migrated Vista => Win 7 => Win 8.1 => Win 10 upgrade

are you saying vista might be as good as windows 10? if we assume it's possible that they are all = in the => expression

@Rahul2001 How else does one write code?
By paw? Using their nose?

@bertieb Yes
That's how I'm supposed to give my exams
@TOWMN but... on paper

Should you really be talking in RA during this written exam? :P

@bertieb Lol, exam isn't right now.
I'm just learning the stuff from the book
Also, Turbo C++
That thing is from a time when there were no standards
 
bertieb

Turbo C++? Does the stripe make it compile faster?
(there's a RAID joke in there somewhere)

@Rahul2001 someone told me programmers write their programs on paper and then scan it to the computer in order to not spend excessive hours on the computer

I ate some Lidl sweet potato crisps with gingerbread flavouring, now my nose burns
Let this be a warning to the rest of you
(i know it's not terribly manly to complain, but it does feel as if someone has stuffed a hunk of ginger up each nostril)
On a related note, does milk work the same as for dealing with contact with chilies etc?
I'm not saying I'm going to go snort some milk if so
But enquiring minds want to know

4 people dead in London :/
 
bertieb

Up to 4 now? :(
It was only 2 confirmed about 10 mins ago
Oh, the attacker died too?
 
DavidPostill
DavidPostill
> It is currently believed one attacker was involved, killing four people, including a policeman, and leaving at least 10 pedestrians and two other police officers seriously injured.
Yeah, the attacker is dead.
> A police officer has died after being stabbed outside the Houses of Parliament
Two other people have died and at least 20 others are injured after the attacker drove into them in a car on Westminster Bridge
The alleged assailant was shot and killed by armed police
Still not clear

Hmm; they were just saying 'shot' on the news before- perhaps they subsequently died?
Terrible stuff though

Well I figured out why hibernate and resume weren't working...
EFI decided to start booting from my secondary drive instead of the OS drive when my SSD overheated
Course EFI being obnoxious EFI it hides all that from you and makes it impossible to switch manually
Had to delete the system and boot partitions off my second drive then reinstall the bootloader and firmware on the primary drive just to get the retarded EFI to let you select to boot from the primary drive.

Estado da Pilha Internacional – Março/2017
Gabe Koscky on March 22, 2017

O primeiro trimestre de 2017 já caminha pro fim e o Stack Overflow em Português continua muito bem, obrigado. Cresceu bastante em 2016, começa o ano entre os 10 sites mais ativos da rede e a expectativa pra esse ano é de continuar crescendo, e ajudando cada vez mais gente, construindo ainda mais conhecimento de qualidade em língua portuguesa.

Saímos do Carnaval à todo vapor e atingimos – pela primeira vez – a marca de 100 perguntas/dia na média das duas últimas semanas:

Média 2 duas semanas; últimos 6 meses …
