A: Why do people use IP bans when IP addresses often change?

IP bans are mostly used because there's not really any other better way to ban a user, especially if they're simply using your website. Yes, quite a lot of domestic IP addresses are dynamic (aka, they change every time the modem connects to the ISP), but really, how else are you going to get rid ...

I think, anyway

user259867

10:20 PM

@KevinBrown It's not just subjectively bad... while l is tolerable, m is awful and smaller sizes are useless.

user259867

Because your browser is better at resizing things than Imgur is. That "large" image that Imgur generated (which only actually shaves off 2 pixels from the width and height of the original image) cuts off a whole 13KB from the image's size. Lots of compression and quality loss by using that image. — animuson ♦ May 24 at 17:37

@NormalHuman Some things can handle the quality loss better than others, like the bear

I subscribed to the Project Management SE newsletter thinking it was going to be about general project management, but now I've learned that might as well be Agile/Scrum SE

733/2668 questions are tagged agile or scrum, and that doesn't even include the questions which don't carry the tags but probably should

@KevinBrown I feel like that entire stack is subsumed by programmers.se

honestly, open source.se as well

Kevin Brown

Open Source SE basically holds the licensing/broad questions that Programmers doesn't allow

durron597

@KevinBrown such as what

remember, i wrote the licensing faq for programmers.se

the tl;dr of what you can't ask on programmers is things that you need a lawyer to answer, which i'm sure are also off topic on open source

similarly, too broad is too broad everywhere on SE.

@durron597 legal/open source law questions

durron597

@KevinBrown you mean like this on topic question?

Q: Is it legal to recreate/opensource a program that you previously coded for another company

At my previous job I created a generic dashboard for automating tasks and it that turned out to be quite useful - and of course my previous employer owns all the code I wrote while I worked there. Now that I'm no longer there, is it legal for me to recreate that dashboard from memory and open sou...

Q: Is it legal for me to contribute to open source software while employed?

I work for a large corporation and I want to keep my skills fresh. I think contributing to an open source project would help, especially if I ever want a job at a startup. I have heard that large companies often own any development employees do outside of work. Could I face legal consequences by ...

cybermonkey

@durron597 for that one also it'll depend on the policy of the company

durron597

@cybermonkey I was only pasting those to talk about the meta of whether they're on topic on Programmers (they are)

hyuk hyuk

cybermonkey

I've seen some companies that allow it as long as it doesn't stray on their turf (aka, you don't provide a service for free that your employer offers)

durron597

gotta go

@durron597 I know :)

Hi @BenCollins, long time no see.

Ben Collins

howdy :-)

user259867

Jealous of the whiteboard

user259867

I can only fit 6' in my office.

Ben Collins

I am still so stoked about that

posted in a garage sale group on facebook "ISO 8x4 whiteboard", got a message from a guy who just happened to live around the block from me. I got in my dad's truck, mapped the place, then drove approximately 100 feet

he let me have it for $50 and threw in another little one for free. He just wanted it out of his garage

add another $15 for a set of brackets, two 10-year-old girls to help me hold it while I installed it, and voila!

Do former employees still have access to employee chat?

user259867

Would make sense to have at least partial access.

user259867

To be able to say hi when stopping by...

breaks into @BenCollins garage and steals the whitey

drolls :S

user259867

I don't think the room on the picture is a garage...

The thing on the right looks storage-like, but this can be explained by the lack of closet space.

Ben Collins

@NormalHuman no, I don't have access to employee chat anymore. Besides, everyone at SE is on twitter, so saying hi is pretty easy :-)

My office is a standalone building on my property. It's finished out on the inside, but I happen to have some storage shelves set up in here because my actual "garage" (quotes because it's actually a 100-year-old carriage house) is in disarray and not suitable for storing things of any value.

user259867

Hm, indeed, I have 121 accounts in my list.

user259867

There appears to be a rush of home improvement projects recently...

user259867

Working on house projects right now, @durron597, but if I get time I'll take a closer look. — Shog9 ♦ yesterday

Day 2 pics. I'm hacking the ceiling. The door was covered with wood paneling, it will eventually be the entry door. http://t.co/yZ6JZmUZZi
