Decidme que esto no es oro puro #caturday
My complex has Google Fiber now. I just had someone over to set it up, so this is my first post from there. I thought I knew how to configure a router (you know, figure out its IP address and point a browser to it), but, no, not this one. It wants me to use Google Home from my phone. If I point a browser to its IP address, then it will serve me a page telling me to use Google Home from my phone.

Hi all! Ifinally got through a bit over 2 days of posts here because I wasn't able to be online much due to lots of things, mainly that I was in stress paralysis.
Why you ask?
Well, I had to take stock of my work situation: Would it get better if I had yet another talk with my supervisor, subjecting myself to her tirades then her agreeing to listen to me only to go back to the same old pattern a few days later?
Should I talk to my boss's supervisor again, not feeling any sense of trust that she'd help me and ensure my boss stop the negative behavior?
Should I go above my boss's supervisor to the vice provost, who is aware of my boss's eratic moods and negative behavior?
Should I just suck it up and just keep my head down and do my job and enjoy the students, the main part of my job?
After doing a lot of soul searching, hang wringing and feeling totally ill I ended up going to our human resources director, expressing my concerns and outlining everything that has been going on almost since I started this job just short of 3 years ago.
I finally realized that no matter what was done things would not get better given the way the department works and the personality of my boss and the admin in the office.
So I made the difficult decision to resign. I gave 2 weeks notice which is the minimum I could give, sticking to the policy.
It was a very hard decision because I really love my actual job. But I can't handle my boss any more.
So I'll have to adjust to this new reality and figure things out. I'll continue looking for a new job but who knows about that. In the meantime I'll have to restructure life so I don't become a total slug. That won't be good for me.
So there you have it!

I'm sorry that it came to that, since I don't think that it was exactly what you wanted right now. It sounds like you made the decision that you needed to make, though. And sometimes life nudges us in various ways. Hopefully you'll end up in a better place, however that looks for you.
The resilience of Minnesotans is unmatched. Day and night, in snow and freezing cold, they keep showing up and standing their ground. That’s people power. That’s BlueCrew strength.💙
Drop a ✊💙 for the Minnesotans holding the line in the cold and refusing to be silenced.

Have the world's biggest headache, but must power through. Nearly all bugs are solved that crept upon me after I changed that frontend DLL. C++ still sucks, and I'm only using it because I still haven't been bothered to check out other byte-compiled (machine code, not at runtime) languages. I learned it in high school like many coders, barely used it in college only on summer breaks, never used it during employment, and yet I use it for the small link-space. So yeah. That's our relationship. It's complicated.
Is all this coding making me like C++ any better? No, not really. Sure, no strict indent-checking and function definitions are easier to write than Java. It's all I'm giving C++.

Ahahaha y'all wanna know why some people hear whispering and others don't? With the latest NV Speech? I know who might. @@radiorobbe who reported it first.
The Root Cause: "Dot" vs. "Comma"
NVDA Sets the Locale: When you set NVDA's interface language to Spanish, Hungarian, German, Polish, etc., NVDA configures the Python process's global locale (via setlocale) to match that region. In the US/English locale, the decimal separator is a dot (e.g., 0.5, 60.0). In many European/South American locales (the "supported languages" you noticed), the decimal separator is a comma (e.g., 0,5, 60,0). The DLL Inherits the Locale: The nvspFrontend.dll is loaded into the same process space. The standard C++ string parsing functions (like atof, strtod, or std::stringstream) often respect this global locale setting. So, all the YAML files become invalidly parsed because they use a period. Ha. Wow. What a bug.
