If for work your machine has installed Hubstaff or any of these hyper-invasive things that micromanagers love, then you can have the bad luck that a bad taste spicy pic get screenshot and shown in your user activity. But nobody ever should by any reason ever use these zero-privacy apps, right?
The person I'm replying to said "If you think this is NSFW, then I don't think you should be spending any time on the internet. The internet is not safe for you."
It really depends on the degree to which your co-workers and clients lack a sense of humor.
For example, in the early 00's I was working for a company that built a lot of CMS sites. One of the test images my co-worker used was Yoda driving a go-kart. A customer got offended, so we were instructed to use really boring images that just had the word "test" on them.
This one I can kind of understand. Moreso than the Yoda one.
There’s a good chance at least one piece of copy will be missed when replacing the placeholder text, and for a vegan company, that can easily cause outrage for their customers since it’s just full of meat products. There are a lot of reasons for people being vegan and some hold incredibly strong beliefs on meat products.
Since their story happened 20 years ago its probably not related, but Reddit banned r/LegoYoda because of the captions on some photos of Yoda driving a 2003 Honda Civic.
It's just that gif of David Hasselhoff in a speedo where it keeps zooming in on his crotch and it's just more David Hasselhoffs in speedos forever. An image that I assume anyone who's even heard of the Internet has already seen a hundred times. I wouldn't call it NSFW, personally.
[EDIT] I mean, contextually, if you're being weird about it or posting that kind of thing all the time, yeah, it could become NSFW. But I don't think sharing this particular thing maybe with a "warning: low-quality gif of Hasselhoff in speedo" in case anyone cares, is over the line.
NSFW had become an euphemism for p-o-r-n(w/exposed parts) and in that sense it’s not NSFW because. In literal sense it is. And that discrepancy is somewhat confusing.
I'm curious why you jumped to "women" here, when they aren't relevant to the conversation. Do you think women need to be protected from unsafe imagery at work, or "nsfw" is designed to protect women?
What's weird to me is that this seems like a totally implausible accidental misspelling, which just shows how differently people type, I guess.
I can see that 'i' and 'u' are adjacent on the keyboard, but if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers, and I can't see how I'd transpose them while getting all the other letters right. If my right hand were shifted over by a key, I might get 'gutguv' or 'gotjim', I guess.
I think the misspelling is more likely for someone who’s not super capable with English and doesn’t have familiarity with Git. Even for people who usually operate in (natural) languages that use the Latin alphabet (or something close to it, like the Greek or Cyrillic alphabets), without recognizing the cue word “hub,” “guthib.com” is as meaningful and memorable as “github.com.”
I'm sure dsylexia gets the best of many capable people when banging out URLs.
I suspect that there's also a rather large overlap in the Venn Diagram of "people who use Github regularly" and "people who are sufficiently mentally toasted as to regularly make implausible errors".
It happens more often than one might think. I know I've typed "guthib" at least a few times in the last decade or so that I've been using github, and coincidentally I just caught myself mistyping "decade" as "dedace". I pressed all the right keys, but in the wrong order.
I guess that packets from the brain sometimes suffer from a kind of race condition as they arrive at the fingers.
Maybe it's related to fact that we're surprisingly good at reading words with teh lettres shffuled aorund. Perhaps my brain is trying to type a word at a time, instead of individual letters, so the packets go out in parallel. Perhaps the last point has something to do with the fact that my native language is Korean, where a word is written as a compact two-dimensional arrangement of symbols rather than a simple sequence of symbols. I dunno, it just happens a lot.
I used almost never to make any sort of error whatsoever when typing, that I didn't immediately catch and fix.
IDK if it's age-related decline (I'm not even quite 40 yet...) or what but now I make all those homophone and bizarre-letter-substitution errors that I never, ever used to, constantly. I have to re-read everything I type or I'll have a stupid error like that every few hundred words.
To my understanding, letter transpositions are common even for great touch typists. Especially letters in the same "category" (such as shifting vowels around in this instance). Sure, it's a different "feel" when typing it wrong and if you are paying attention you might catch it, but you generally when touch typing don't think about the specific feel of individual letters, but the pattern or "shape" of the overall word. "gut" is a common enough word pattern (and an English word in its own right). "hib" is not, but if your brain/muscle memory is expecting the full "word" "github" and knows it uses both fingers "in the middle of the shapes" and it already used "u" it can be a likely transposition to wind up with "hib".
Doesn't seem that implausible given that we can read words just by reading the first letter and last letter, even if the letters in the middle are in the wrong order. We take words as lump-sum abstract objects instead of focusing on each of the letter.
Gail is being very nice; according to that she could have 1.2 million misaddressed emails per week if she was not nice (which could potentially open her to legal liability, but still).
True, but guthub.ca is (or now was) available. @plg, do you mind if I steal the idea? Actually love the idea of open source recipes with pull requests, branches, etc. and I’ve been looking for an idea for my next side project…
A number of years ago I had a great boss who was trying to target hire someone so he made a ridiculous job req asking for expertise in “git’s, gat’s, gots.” It was a defense job
> The most dangerous thing for the frontpage is stuff that's too easy to upvote. If someone proves a new theorem, it takes some work by the reader to decide whether or not to upvote it. An amusing cartoon takes less. A rant with a rallying cry as the title takes zero, because people vote it up without even reading it.
Paul Graham, What I've Learned from Hacker News[1]
Worth noting... he says this to contrast his surprise at how well the system works in the paragraph immediately prior:
> I once thought I'd have to weight votes to keep crap off the frontpage, but I haven't had to yet. I wouldn't have predicted the frontpage would hold up so well, and I'm not sure why it has. Perhaps only the more thoughtful users care enough to submit and upvote links, so the marginal cost of one random new user approaches zero. Or perhaps the frontpage protects itself, by advertising what type of submission is expected.
I'm normally in favour of lighthearted stuff (to a degree), but in this case I agree with you. It seems a bit too low effort to warrant the high number of upvotes...
A copy of the GH home page but every image replaced with Strong Sad... now that's got potential. Or any number of other better uses of the domain name.
fancy doing this when they could have simply forced the fat-fingered user into an endless cycle of http redirects, popup adverts, crypto-mining banner ads and finally a "this domain is for sale" parking page..
On point. Though if someone struggles with repeating themselves, I can recommend oh-my-zsh git aliases. They replace common git commands with shorter equivalents, like git push -> gp, git pull -> gl, etc
