If you issue 2 you greatly increase the chances of MFA devices going missing without it being reported to IT since people will either A) use one of them and forget they even have the other and not keep track of it or B) lose one and just start using the other one and never bothering to report it to IT so they can invalidate the missing one.
Employees are VERY reluctant to report lost devices, even after being told there are no consequences or costs to them as long as they report it. I've seen employees get buddies to buzz them into the building for weeks before finally admitting to IT that they lost their access badge.
The main complication is if your company relies on outside software that doesn't have provisions for administrator oversight. For example, if you're using Google Apps, any admin can go in and replace a missing MFA device for an employee, but this isn't possible if you're using some other platforms (especially the free tiers).
Children are expensive. If you can't currently afford to buy a house and decide to have a child, the chances of you gaining enough wealth to afford one in the 4 to 6 years before your child reaches school age is practically nonexistent.
This means having a child while renting basically pushes your home ownership plans back by probably about a decade.
It's also missing - mini-b 4 wire (older phones, etc) - micro-b 4 wire (most electronics prior to type c) - micro-b 8 wire (mostly seen only found on external 2.5" HDDs)
There were also a bunch of other connectors (mini-a, mini-a/b, etc) but they are very rare.
What job seekers are begging for is a salary range being included with the job posting. Not doing so just wastes everyone's time when the company low-balls after the 3rd interview and the interviewee walks out the door.
If you want a junior worker for a junior's salary, that's fine, there are plenty of juniors looking to get their foot in the door, but include a junior's salary range so you don't waste everyone's time interviewing someone who's never going to accept your junior offer.
If you want a senior for a junior's salary and think you'll get one by leaving the salary range blank, go pound sand.
Having to write a cover letter, customize a resume and sit through multiple interviews just to find out if I can literally afford to work for you is not acceptable and the only reason companies get away with it is because all the other companies do it. This trend needs to die and it needs to die a decade ago.
I gain no energy from interacting with others, ever. I may find certain group activities fun, but definitely do not gain energy from it. The only time I seek out others for an activity is when the solo or AI (ex: in a game) alternative just doesn't work as well.
As an introvert who lives alone and took an extended break from work around the time the COVID lock-down started, I can tell you for certain that I would not have tested as an extrovert at any point.
I would definitely advise against remapping vim bindings. The first is because if you ever has to use vim on a non-colemak machine, figuring out the keys will be very painful. Secondly because vim has influenced a lot of other programs (man, less, gvim, etc) and most of them are much harder to rebind if they even support it at all.
The only way to prevent this is to remove elevated access from the player's computer. This has been done with varying levels of success on consoles, but even then it's only a matter of time.
The former has various solutions depending on the situation (ex: numbered street addresses, logos, internationalized names, etc).
The later, and one the article is dealing with, is mostly solved by the fact that all business licenses (at least in BC) have a unique "business number" assigned by the city in which you acquire your license. Other than the initial data entry of the name and it being displayed reasonably on forms, any need to identify the business during an interaction can fall back to the business number if the representative does not know how to pronounce, spell or type the name. In fact, I suspect most government employees just type the business number in anyway because it's fast, easy and doesn't involve trying to spell whatever post-modern spelling they used to get an available domain name.
It should have been built to support UTF-8 in the first place and should be upgraded, but the time it will take to do that will not help this person. With any luck, it may help someone else in the future though.
I'll take a problem from a company that published software with an embarrassingly bad security hole that thanked the reported and issued a fix immediately over a company with a hard to exploit security problem that ignored initial reports, threatened public reporters, denied its existence, and dragged their heals when the public demanded they fix it.
I was once sent paperwork to fill out that had dates requested in both MM/DD/YYYY and DD/MM/YYYY formats on different pages.
If I run a service, I can add pretty much any requirements (barring anti-discrimination, accessibility laws, depending on your jurisdiction) I want for use of that service.
If I saw you can't use my service unless you do so while wearing a chicken hat and humming God Save the Queen, I have every right to do so and every right to kick you off if I discover you were wearing a turkey hat instead, because it's MY service. I may have a hard time enforcing such requirements, but nobody has a LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE RIGHT to use my service without my permission, no matter how dumb my requirements are to be granted that permission.
Note: The above obviously doesn't automatically apply to existing legally binding contracts such as with a paying customer, though in most cases either party is free to break the contact at any time assuming they are willing to pay the penalty specified in said contract.
While most hobby level video software is targeted at windows or Mac, the truly powerful stuff (houdini, maya, nuke, blender) are first class citizens on Linux. Currently one of the few artist programs that aren't available for Linux is the adobe suite which is mostly used by editors (for timelines) and photo editing (for promotional material) and most of that happens on Macs, usually in the editing department.
Something to keep in mind is that many VFX shops are kind of specialized and will work on very specific portions of a movie or TV show. For example, the company that owns the final product (Disney, Fox, MGM, etc) will pay company A to shoot the movie, then company A will send the footage for a 30 second scene to company B to rotoscope everything, then it gets sent to company C for VFX elements, then to company D for 3d conversion, then to company E for lighting and finally to company F for audio and final stitching. This is repeated (often with different companies A-F) for each scene since different scenes required different levels of expertise in different areas such as crowd generation, fire simulation, raindrop removal (yes, it's as painful as it sounds), background replacement, CG helicopters, etc. Because of this, the few steps that require windows are typically handled by 1 or 2 companies so the rest only need enough Mac/Windows machines for their local editors to stick timelines together for daily reviews.
An interesting side effect of the above is that almost every company you see in the credits of a movie had no idea what the dialog was because audio is one of the last things that gets added and completely bypasses 90% of the VFX houses involved.
Since it's a non-evaporating fuel (especially at -40), you won't lose fuel, but you have to warm the seals back up before they'll light.
