The Tim Berners-Lee NFT that sold for $5.4M might have an HTML error

Animation is fixed, but is evidence of the typo still in the blockchain?

arstechnica.com

Does the person who purchased it get a discount now?

I downloaded the animation, so I have a copy of the Internet too now. Didn't cost as much.

Time to see if you can get Idiot Manager to put in a requistion form for a brick extender, plastic, nubbed, 1/3 height.

(I usually work in manufacturing, *anything* to get management out of the way while trying to get an engineer to fix the @#%*ing drawing. Bloody ISO9000 means I can't just take a sharpie to it >_<)

This sums ISO9000 up nicely: "ISO 9000 is defined as a set of international standards on quality management and quality assurance developed to help companies effectively document the quality system elements needed to maintain an efficient quality system."

Drink every time the word quality is used.

I'll quit ranting now. About this anyways...

I worked on the ISO-9001 certification at one company that didn't turn it into a nightmare... because ISO-9000 is surprisingly flexible. At the bottom level you write down what you do and how you know you're doing it. That's it. You don't start doing things you're not already doing. That's where the problem starts.

If everyone involved is interested in actually doing that, instead of trying to satisfy requirements you don't actually have because they're for companies that use high explosives or anesthetics or edible substances they can be surprisingly non-sucky. You just have to be prepared to sit on the guys from QA who are right out of college and want to do everything.

Monday I take my first step into a management role by mentoring a new hire. All your thoughts and prayers please.

Admittedly, it's not ISO9000 itself that's the problem, more that it get used to compound red tape. It would be just fine to "document and date," but the "any changes have to be submitted to two departments in triplicate" is a bit lolzy. Stuff like "oh, this part goes the other way round, they never fixed the drawing" was the order of the day.

I'll be a new hire myself in a bit over a week. Shouldn't be much mentoring though, this isn't my first rodeo, so it should just be "here's the blueprints and that's where the stuff is." Best interview ever -- instead of being sweated by a clueless beancounter, one of the production guys showed me what they make and I was all "Yep, I can do that."

That's pretty lame. Supposedly they ran the paint splatter through ocr and got some random characters. Since Perl recognizes any mix of letters and / or numbers that begins with a letter as an indentifier and allows an identifier by itself to be a legitimate noop piece of code, they pass as Perl. For additional lameness, they didn't even show what characters were not valid. They just put "not valid".

yeah, either that or the detail you need is BURRIED in Volume 14, page 238 of their horribly verbose, poorly organized documentation...

It's easier to read the source code on github.

What is this 'documentation' you speak of?
