Error'd: Doubled Daniel

This week, a double dose of Daniel D.

First he shared a lesson he titled "Offer you can't refuse a.k.a.Falsehood programmers believe about prices" explaining "Some programmers believe that new prices per month (when paid annually) are always better then the old ones (when paid monthly). Only this time they have forgotten their long-time clients on legacy packages."

Then he found a few more effs. "This e-shop required to create anaccount to download an invoice for order already delivered.Which is kind of WTF on its own. But when I pasted a generated62 mixed character (alphanumeric+special) password, theirform still insisted on entering 8+ characters. not correct.Well, because their programmers didn't expect somebody topaste a password. Once I did another JS event - e.g. clickeda submit button, it fixed itself."

And our Best Beastie in Black discovered "Anomalies in the causal structure of our particular 4-dimensionalLorentzian manifold have apparently caused this secure messageportal belonging to a tax prep/audit company to count emailsthat haven't yet been sent by sender."

Traveler Tim R. struggled to pay for a visa, and reports this result. Rather than an errorreported as success, we appear to have here a success reported as an error."We're all familiar with apps that throw up aneror dialog with the error message as successbut it's particularly irritating when trying to submita payment. This is what happened when I tried to pay for an Indian visa with Paypal.To add insult to injury, when you try to pay again, itsays that due to errors and network problems, you mustcheck back in 2 hours before attempting a repeat payment."

Finally Robert H. is all charged up about Chevy shenanigans. "I thought one of the advantages of EV vehicles was they don't need oil changes?"
