  • boring work stuff, they entered wrong data and made a ticket to fix it several months after the fact. That data they enter is the input for a bunch of calculations, so cleaning up that mess is a lot of work and I’m the only one equipped to do it. They should be well aware of the importance of being exact with what they enter and only signing off on it when they’re 100% sure it’s correct, yet they keep messing it up. They made a stupid excuse about having to sign off on it even though they knew it wasn’t 100% done, when it’s been made perfectly clear that this is unacceptable regardless of circumstances because of legal ($$$$) ramifications

    edit: I should add that those ramifications are potentially severe enough to bankrupt us. That particular administrative body does not fuck around and will tear us a new one if they smell blood




  • oh it would for simple graphics like graphs/charts, but it’d be worse than useless for everything else like pictures / photos / video. That’s why I mentioned Overwatch as the example, which was the most egregious offender of this. If you turned on the colorblind mode in that game back when it was first introduced, it just chroma hue shifted all colors making it look like this:

    how anyone with a functioning eye and brain ever thought that was the solution is beyond me




  • if this changes all colors with a global filter the way that some games like Overwatch (used to) do, then it’s really not going to help anyone. I’m red-green colorblind, so when something is highlighted in red it isn’t as obvious to me as it is to people with normal vision. However, the fix isn’t too globally mess with all the colors, the fix is to let me pick the highlight color so that I can choose what works best for me. Many games have figured this out long ago (thank you game devs!).





  • well yes, but I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to go about it like you described, as long as you know that you’re not actually using the smaller issues to procrastinate on the big issues. Tackling the smaller issues first can help you to understand the bigger issues better, both consciously and subconsciously, so as long as it doesn’t actually matter in which order they’re done, I think it can be more effective to do the smaller ones first. That all goes out of the window of course if you’re using the small issues to avoid having to think about the bigger ones




  • you know what I do like me some mechanical keyboards but I recently switched back to a run of the mill scissor switch keyboard because I think I like low profile keys more. Now I know there are some low profile mechanicals out there but I’m not sure I care enough to spend the money to get one. I think I’ll give this one a go for a while, maybe I’ll switch back later
