Yes, but it's a realisation the first time.
Comment on: Why I won't do your coding test
I have to disagree with the article. The coding test is to weed out the idiots who think they can code until presented with a non-textbook problem, or those who borrow someone else's CV just to get an interview.
Comment on: How to learn basics of sql in a simple way?
This guide has saved me so many times: Oracle SQL guide It's not magic but it'll give you instructions on how to use different operators.
Really, you'll want to start by creating a few simple tables in a database.

Thanks. I've just added it to Chrome and I'll see how it goes.

I have uBlock origins and HTTPS everywhere. What's privacy badger?

Does anyone have numbers of how many people have left over this code of conduct ?

Comment on: How to destroy Programmer Productivity
That is painfully true. Some days in the office I plod slowly through work I don't really want to be doing, enjoying distractions caused by the open floor plan and colleagues, but suddenly get ten times more productive in the evening. 8pm was my crazy peak the other night.

I agree completely. Half of the problems I deal with with look simple on the surface.

I've asked. We'll wait and see. I think we're on a privately held blacklist and I'm in contact with the relevant people.

We're not on any blacklists (any more) but the SPF isn't showing up on that site. I get an SPF = pass on an email received by a test account so I'm not worried about that. The IT guys implemented it properly over a week ago. Thanks for your reply.

Hmm... I'll raise it tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Ah, no. It would cost the IT guys time and effort, which they would bill to us. And one said that it would take funding to set up and pay for the certification.

I had the IT guys implement proper SPF. I also looked into DKIM but it currently falls under "no budget". After doing all the obvious things, I'll prepare a report and ask for things like DKIM to be put in place.
And I'll try to cross post this to /v/sysadmin.
Nice! Thank you for a puzzle on my day off.
