I started studying interface design (both virtual and real world) back in the nineties and as a result I'm pretty much angry at every interface I ever see. Door handles that require PUSH or PULL signs in particular make me want to slap someone.

Yeah it's like "finally a good FB ad!" and it just ghost on me. Maybe they want to know I really want the info about it. I'm assuming it's the reverse of the waiting for the ad to load thing and more it's rendering everything and noticing the ad.

A ticket came in: I was trying to log into this other person’s account and it didn’t work, could you please unlock her account and change her password? I hope I’m not becoming a BOFH, but sometimes saying no feels so good. E: My manager emailed me and congratulated me on handling the request perfectly. First I said it would be a violation of security policy, then when she pushed back I sent her the acceptable use policy that was sent to every employee last week saying never to share passwords. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jan 16, 2018 |

I didn't elaborate as it's wasn't actually that fun other than the fact I had to cite a research paper in the comments . I was analyzing various DNS records/IP logs in response to possible domain fluxing and I had to rely on a study which distinguished between characteristics of legitimate domain names and pseudo-random domain names, that's it. The only funny bit is the actual citation

Thanks Ants posted:This is also a good read Lol the book description: quote:This makes the investigation of these failures -- by agencies like the Failure Analysis Associates, who can have close to two thousand investigations ongoing at any one time -- dirty and dangerous business. Wearne's case study takes us deep inside the ever-growing industry of forensic engineering, revealing a group of professionals dedicated to determining the cause of a collapse at any cost, while learning and applying valuable lessons from each failure. Determining the cause of the collapse AT ANY COST, makes it sound like they are going to build an exact replica of the building/structure and collapse with it, perhaps TO DEATH. Just struck me as funny and trying to make something extremely suspenseful that, to me anyway, sounds like an extremely mundane/boring thing to be doing.

Dick Trauma posted:I sort of wish I'd never read it. The inside car door handle problem (a handle you have to pull to open a door that needs to be pushed!?  ) is an example that's always stuck with me that illustrates how it can sometimes be impossible to create a simple interface that does exactly and only what you want it to in every situation; either you push to push and accidentally fall out while driving, or pull to push and struggle to get out in an emergency. You can fix it with fancy conditional locks and poo poo but that requires actually spending significant money on design and engineering, which I guess should be the real lesson of the whole book: stop winging it and hire a UI expert already.

Thanks Ants posted:The Design of Everyday Things is a pro read I actually read this last year but I was disappointed it didn't contain more stuff like this. The original title was "The Psychology of Everyday Things," and I felt that title was more accurate. After you get out of the door section there's a lot less about design.

Actually sorry to interrupt the fun, but some users think technology is literally magic. Request that just came in:quote:2. There are many documents that have links in them to other documents. Are you able to see what documents have links on our drive for us and provide a list? Or is this something you don’t have access to? Now, they did say "or is this something you don't have access to," but it felt pretty perfunctory as in "well of course this can be done, just maybe not by you?" It *might* be possible with powershell to scrape all the files in a folder and look for hyperlinks in them, and then get an output of the destination of those links. But holy poo poo I don't even want to begin to consider trying that.
