The really silly thing was that they were happy for me to increment the numeric suffix every 3 months. 00 then 11 then 22 etc. when I got to 99 I would just start again. Essentially my password was the same for the last decade.

It'd not so much that they expect someone external to just try to get file access to your machine. If they remoted to your machine, they'd have access to the entire intranet.
Essentially, it's a foot in the door.

Yes, the only precious thing is the freakin' password I have to enter dozen times a day.

OK, so I've been playing with the node/angular stack for a month or so now.
Short version, it reminds me of a solution looking for a problem. I can write clean Javascript with a nice and simple service-oriented layer. With Angular, I'm constantly adding tags to HTML, C&P'ing common imports into every controller class, C&P'ing common DI's into constructors, often I feel like I'm duplicating things at various levels of the "app" just to support the architecture of Angular, basically spending way too much time managing the boilerplate framework code. All this gets in the way of doing actual real work.
And, while it works great for a small project, and while automatic rebuilding and browser page refresh is great when a code file changes, the warts and the slowness of Angular/Typescript builds reveals its ugly head when you have a real project. And the "real" project at work is actually still pretty small.
And then there's the Node version hell -- I had installed the latest version of Node and Angular, but the product doesn't build with Node v.10, throwing some arcane exception in some C++ code (!!!) it has to compile for something in Node, so I had to downgrade to Node v.8, which involved installing the Node Version Manager so I could switch between the two.
The whole thing reminds me of my Ruby on Rails days.  But maybe with a only dribble of instead of a full technicolor yawn.
On a positive note, the framework forces you to do things the Angular way, which probably cleans up a lot of the crap Javascript that developers would normally write. So, that's a good thing, IMO.

One of the reasons why I stopped using Angular and I stopped my series of articles about it. It keeps changing things and it's hard to keep up.

Yeah, there is so much boilerplate... it would be nice to cut down on that.
For bigger projects there is a way to modularize the app, so only specific parts get rebuilt. That being said I've seen some weird things with the on-the-fly re-building of the app - weird errors which go away once you stop and rebuild.

Played it on XBox. Got stuck the first time through the Paths of the Dead. Had to turn it off/on.

Just got this from a server:
The remote server returned an error: (406) Not Acceptable.
That's pretty much how I feel every time I read bad marketing.

At least that's a sensible error. Not like 418.

418 is so awesome. It does age you a little bit admitting you know what it means

The network guys have mandated that all service accounts must have their passwords renewed every 60 days. This means we have to wait for the passwords to be changed, and then be told what they are so that we can turn off all of our apps/services, make the changes, and turn everything back on again. We have over two dozen service accounts that our group owns.
Every.Sixty.Days.

And they have to follow the STIG rules too right? Is it can't reuse in the past 12 or 24?

Right.
