Saw that ninja happening in real time.
It has a cool effect indeed. The fact that the effect survives Disquoting is... disturbing.

Search for emergency induction ports. They come quite handy when celebrating ;)

TODO: Look up what Invalidate does exactly in Windows forms and why you would trigger a reload of data displayed in a treeview when it happens and why it can lead to an endless loopy mess if you add a container element around it.

And once again I find myself using dotPeek to work out why instantiating an object Sage throws an exception. These guys really need a QA department

Status: Finally on the way home, a bit later than usual. A bunch of trains got canceled so this thing is full to the brim.
In slightly more entertaining news, the whole virus disaster thing might turn out to be more interesting and fun than initially imagined. Might take a while to develop, but I might be saving this one for... purposes. So, no more updates until further notice.

Interesting. You don't have the firemen check the building to make sure everyone's out, in your country?
Not for every drill. We have volunteers in each corridor to remind eveyone to leave, but they are not supposed to do anything more.

status put on the summer tires on the other car. 30 minutes including bringing out the tools and tires and cleaning up afterwards. Nowhere near 6seconds \forall, but not bad considering I'm not a formula 1 mechanic...

Are there also storms over in Croatia?
Short-distance trains are getting cancelled all over Germany - luckily, I wasn't affected.

Here in Belgium it's also pretty windy. When cycling to work this morning, I almost got blown into the meadow next to the bicycle path.

No, just idiots running railways, the weather is actually pretty nice today.

I'm still debating if I'll live-post this or wait for it to finish. I'll decide in the next two days when I see if there will be enough fun for updates in chunks or not.

How much do the crypolocker-esque group want to unlock now anyway? Something like 20 BTC?

Status: being annoyed by Git "conflicts" that are all trivially solvable if only Git knew anything about how the .csproj file format worked.

Merge conflicts in csproj files
You've been Haacked is a blog about Technology, Software, Management, and Open Source. It's full of good stuff.
-
So they switched from a wrong merge strategy to a slightly-less-wrong merge strategy.
Look, the solution to this problem is simple: are you adding a .cs file to the .csproj file? DOES THE FILE EXIST? Yes? No conflict.
Are you removing a .cs file from the .csproj file? DOES THE FILE EXIST? No? No conflict.
Are you adding a file that doesn't exist or removing a file that does? Ok, maybe flag a problem here because that's almost certainly not what the user intended.
I'm always amazed at the half-assed-ness of open source developer types.
-
Why does the csproj file even need to exist, then? If the existence or non-existence of a file is all you need to know, why do you need a giant XML file containing the names of the files that exist and don't not exist?

Because the XML file also tells MSBuild how to build and package the file
-

Well like the man says, it'd make more sense if the .csproj format had a wildcard-type of entry. And maybe it should have that.
But that doesn't change the fact that resolving .csproj conflicts is trivial if you understand anything about the file format. They're just too fucking lazy to go outside of the bounds of what Git's already implemented.
There's a few bits of meta-data in there about files-- for example, if you have a code-behind, the meta-data in the .csprog file is how VS tells what it's a code-behind for, so it can display correctly in the Solution Explorer.

-
why do you need a giant XML file...
Makes more sense to me than a plain text file where spaces and tabs mean different things.

Hey, it was the 1970's, nothing in computer science made sense at the time! You can take my makefiles out of my cold dead hands!

Post count is an overcomplicated away pretty quickly.

Discourse has been used for emphasis in response to WTF code.

Tomorrow my time anyway, I'm done for the night. Wanted to make the spin button toggle the spinning but I'm too tired right now to try and test catching it

Everything fine where I live AFAIK.

Status: Just applied for a job online. Potential employer is, well, let's call them Company X. Registered on Company X's web site to apply for a specific job. Log in using LinkedIn. Ok. Give them permission to access LinkedIn profile. It filled in most of the info; just had to create a password. Used KeePass to generate a strong password.
Redirected to actual job application. So far, so good.
Another login page? I just did that. Oh, well; provide email address and password. Doesn't match. Try again. Doesn't match. Huh? Request password reset. Read TDWTF while waiting for email with reset link. No email.
Turns out this isn't Company X's web site any more; it's an "HR solutions provider" with a completely separate login account. Log in with LinkedIn again; create another new password. At least they tell you what their password validation rules are: At least 2 characters
No more than 18 characters — well, there go my usual KeyPass rules. No spaces or Unicode characters. I assume they mean no Unicode characters that aren't also ASCII characters, but 
(No, I didn't try ASCII control characters, Latin-1, shift-JIS or other non-"Unicode" characters. I wanted to apply for the job, not try to break their website.)Finally get to the actual application. Mostly filled in from my LinkedIn profile. Fill in address and phone. Submit. Sorry, required fields not supplied. Scroll... scroll. Oh, there's another section, where they want information THAT'S ALREADY BEEN FILLED IN in the other section of the form. They also want my most recent GPA. I graduated over 25 years ago; it's not remotely relevant, and I don't frigging remember, but it's required and blah blah if I supply false information on the application. I think the number I put there is accurate to the number of significant digits I supplied (1).

apparently the developer of npm has trouble with that word too. :-D

The guy who committed that change has this to say about it:
npm is designed to do the right thing, even if you sometimes don't

There's a joke somewhere in there how node.js has to hand hold its users because JavaScript. But I can't find it.
