I took over IT for a client. As the final step in the process, in the Google Admin Portal, I reset the password for the admin account.This is the same account I've made hundreds of connections with in the last several weeks - Google has my IP and access history.Now, I'm locked out - I cannot use the password I changed. Google wants a recovery code or 2FA. The 2FA is not on the IT phone given...

hmmmm

Because everything was invented in San Francisco in the last 20 years.
Touch screens are awful for operating while you focus elsewhere.
I miss touch typing and I sure like adjusting car controls without looking away.
What's that, trust driverless cars you say? Never, and the basilisk be damned.
You forgot the rest of the title.
That's mostly it.
Personally I find Elixir's syntax confusing. For example:
Losing the ; and . function endings from Erlang you can put same-named functions throughout your module. I tried doing
def create
def handle(:create)
def update
def handle(:update)
But the compiler warns. So that loss isn't helpful.
Atoms require a : because variable names are lowercase.
Uppercase variable names and lowercase module names is easier to read in Erlang.
The syntactic sugar is too clever for readability imo.
The package management through mix is decent. I used to use an erlang.mk file, looking at hex it looks like the Erlang ecosystem is quite evolved.
Phoenix + Ecto seem to be very actively maintained, useful if you're writing web apps.
When I tried Cowboy a few years ago some of the documentation was out of date, so that's a point in Elixir's favor.
Well at least you aren't mad enough to revolt because then change might occur. Ah right, revolt is impossible due to economic conditions.
Hah. I interviewed for a [growing in popularity and market share] top 20 cryptocoin. They had some curious choice of words in their "freelance" contract, notably that it would use German copyright law to transfer rights of all inventions I ever made.
I pointed out that a couple of the phrases in the contract, when combined, indicated they would have IP rights to EVERYTHING I did not just work they paid me for.
They moved on to another candidate.
Gee, I wonder if this has anything to do with the pay discrepancy between CEOs, investors and us wage slaves.
Didn't Facebook apps used to include dating apps that would use your social graph?
Cool stuff.

Can you shut down SMS? I recently have been bombarded with SMS from varying numbers, they all use the same $NAME

It does support the concept of score, maybe score points + score negative points?
If only there was a way to register a Public Key that only a corresponding Private Key could use.
I would believe this, were it not that the google voice app continues to break in new ways version to version. The latest loads a little faster and isn't freezing as much (still a 10 second load, better than a 40 seconds of nothing). But now when I reply to messages? 19/20 messages I've tried to send through GV show "Message failed to send".
Yeah, popcorn time for youtube would be wonderful.
Untested behavior leading to unexpected results.. is still a bug.
Because they hate you. What other explanation is there?
Their UX continues to g et worse. Google Voice on iOS has had 10-20 second lag (no joke) on older versions of iOS (used to be jus fine!) for 1-2 years now. One previous version of GV in particular froze for 10 seconds on your first key press, now I can't rely on it to open properly, or send messages. It seems intentionally sabotaged.
I heard employees quit when G merged the YT with "real name" accounts.
Personally I've had a real pain getting support for android development. Wrong and misleading documentation, rude forum moderators, no way to report a bug (they have a bug where Payments page will show errors -- in Incognito Chrome) -- on the admob site. Solution was to sign up for Adwords (how could I tell?) and check the page in Safari or sign into Adwords on Chrome. Shit documentation. Help your developers earn you money better, Google. And stop changing your UI. It looks like they have low-tier coders who get hired with not enough power to rock the boat so they roll out a UI re-vamp no one wants without bothering to fix systemic problems that repeatedly kill products, break products and have a completely INSULTING policy towards their developers. Admob: "You can't even complain to us without earning enough money.. here's a phone number.. it literally never connects." Why even bother? I interpret that they hate me. The feeling is mutual.
Can you stop breaking Gmail, Hangouts and Google Voice UI and apps? There is literally a 20 second lag on Google Voice on iOS. It's absurd.
Yep. And Google Voice runs horribly on iOS.. 20 second lag time to check messages, no joke. Earlier versions would freeze at the beginning of each character you type.
Makes me wonder if companies aren't just slowing down their competitors..
Anyone have a link to the .txt interview were the Mirai creator claimed they made their creation to escape "a shitty eastern European country" and their main customers were "Top 5 Minecraft servers"?
