Making software since the 80s, mostly business, some games. Unabashed JavaScript enjoyer. Childish taste in entertainment (explosions and cartoons). Probably on the spectrum. A fan of strange haiku. #dotnet #csharp #js #javascript #anime #dnd

No, you fuckwits, I absolutely did not.
I apparently can't be trusted to build a PC any more. Built many, but last one getting too hot. Pondered and poked, then on a whim did the "piece of paper in front of fan" trick.
I had installed the CPU cooler fans backwards. CPU up, builds a heat dome in the middle of the case.
Genius.
Every piece of information you give a company is sold and traded more times than you can imagine. And it takes much less data than you think to put together a very detailed picture of who you are, where you've been, and what you think.

I'm sure it's completely unrelated that most guys have thought of me as "weird" my entire life.
Strong start, appropriate expletives, but a weak finish with "nincompoop". Might I recommend:
* soulless flap-mouthed varlet
* stinky codswallop
* witless wart
* canker blossom
More seriously, why don't we hear more about WHY due-process matters?
/5 Chrome spots the honeypot field and autofills it, leaving the real one alone.
Google, why am I having to resort to such shenanigans for this?
/4 The textarea was clunkier than I wanted to maintain. Where I finally fell was adding an additional text input between the label and the input I cared about:
<input type="text" style="width:0;height:0;padding:0;border:none" name="DummyUserName" />
/3 I had removed the "for" attribute on the label also, but no joy.
There was a pretty clever example of using a textarea, which doesn't get the autofill treatment, and using CSS to make it look the same and some JS to make it act more like a normal text input.
/2 The commonly listed advice of renaming the field to something other than "UserName" also did not work. After some experimentation it became clear that the associated label ("ID") was being spotted by Chrome's autofill service to populate the now renamed text field.

Users don't have an ID/login by default but it can be set there. The user ID was being populated by Chrome's form autofill and setting autocomplete="off" did nothing.

Today's standouts: chickens, goats, fruit, veggies, plants, fishing gear, and rifles. So many rifles. No shot/hand guns, just rifles.
Hmmmm.
I don't think enough consideration is being given to the irrationality of hiring. LLMs don't have to have the capabilities of junior devs, they only have to seem "close enough". Managers making all the money will move on before the damage becomes evident.

Quick logical lesson: how do you know someone is here illegally without due process?
Feel like this point doesn't get made nearly often enough.
