Status: Haven't let Sleipnir crash in the last 24 hours, so it's getting less stable.
Which reminds me of a song:

Its getting stranger and then,
its getting harder to win

it starts happening all over again

My company does this strange thing where instead of having mandatory holidays, we work every day, and then they tack on 10 extra PTO days.
It's a fine system, but the building the company is in closes on standard holidays anyway. So...
If I wanted to save a PTO day for later, I could work from home today, but it's less friction to just take it off. Especially since my work depends on QA people who have already taken it off.

Why aren't there any auto-close informational posts in One Post anymore?

That is nicer as most of the time you can do like you did but you can work them to get an extra day elsewhere. I know I'd do it on movie and Chinese food day at least.

That's a shame, I LOVE working on holidays. No traffic and everything is more relaxed somehow, even though you're technically at work.

Status: Just watched the first episode of Judging by the Cover by Yahtzee Croshaw. And I have to say, I'm incredibly disappointed. There's about four minutes of content followed by a two minute advertisement for the video you just watched. I only knew to go on this channel in the first place because Zero Punctuation ended with an ad for it. When I tried to watch it yesterday, I found a list of three videos I didn't want to watch and the fourth, the advertisement that was at the end of Zero Punctuation.
By the way, the ad had all the good jokes from the episode cherry-picked into it, but they were out of context. Which is a stupid thing that TV does that I really wish everyone would just stop doing. This is why we can't have nice things.

The actual video is quite good (as is everything from Yahtzee), but I have a feeling the only reason they uploaded it the way they did was to artificially boost the subscriber count on their cosplay channel.

Status: Tried playing Wolfenstein: The Old Blood tonight.
-
It complains that my driver is out of date. NVidia's control panel says it's up to date. What the fuck?
-
Perhaps because my driver is out of date (via... miracle?) I get these random freezes while playing the game-- it'll run smooth as glass for a minute, then suddenly free up for a second or two out of NOWHERE for NO REASON. It's unplayable.
Wolfenstein: The New Order ran perfectly, and it's using the same engine with (mostly) the same assets. WHAT THE FUCK!
I guess I'll sit on it until it gets some patches. Like I'm already doing with Batman: Arkham Knight. Sigh.

Back hurts. Fuck. Ow. Need to lose weight, buy less terrible mattress, lift with legs not back.

intohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pao%3C/em%3Ev.%3Cem%3EKleiner%3C/em%3EPerkins

I forgot about the dishwasher I had paused mid-cycle just before the phone interview. As a result, I don't have clean dishes ready to eat dinner.
I do that sometimes also. The worst is when you realize halfway through unloading that the soap dish is still closed and that you just put dirty dishes in the cabinet. I am always paranoid that I missed one when putting them back in the dishwasher.
-
unloading
cabinet
What connection do these words have with a dishwasher?
Dishwasher algorithm:
while (true) { if (dishwasher.contains(item)) { item.use(); sink.add(item); } elsif (sink.full() > Sink.USEABLE) { dishwasher.load(); // Note: This will probably not result in sink.empty(). It typically results in sink.full() == Sink.HALF_FULL dishwasher.run(); } else { item.wash(); } }

Yeah and one time I went to bed and I only washed my hands 42 times instead of 44 must wash the hands the hands are dirty still keep washing keep scrubbing must keep the hands clean they're so dirty

You should just give your dishes a rinse and use them again. Have at it. I prefer to be clean.
-
That means you dishes are in sight though.

Happy hack-a-spaceship-using-a-powerbook day!

I am yet to actually buy one of those modernized POSes. I subsist off of old gas cans and these: http://hunsakerusa.com/c-1033101-5-gal-quikfill-jugs-road-racing.html
-
Me, I've always advocated for two dishwashers - one clean, one dirty. A kitchen wouldn't need as many cabinets.

Suposedly it's not too hard to fix 'em. I've seen a bunch of videos showing how. (But I, admittedly, don't have a gas can at all. I live in a city. I rarely leave it, and I have roadside assistance...)

You're Jewish?
Nope, but there are a lot of other religious leanings that find December 25th to be boring with few places open.

Status: need to run a benchmark to confirm it, but I'm pretty sure 4chan can load and display at least 800 posts in the time it takes discourse to load a small chunk of 20 posts. And same with reddit (only it's limited to 500 posts).

Me too, but upon immediately inspection I did not see an easy way to do so.

and now Tsukiyomi now has a PSU with a higher peak supply than her peak draw.
that should improve stability. :-D

Status: Wondering why YouTube's automatic transcriptions don't understand the very commonly used words "utterly corporeal". And also why The Escapist thought they could get people who come to their channel specifically for Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's dark humor to watch shows where a woman talks about her favorite Frozen cosplays or another woman talks about how you should totally buy the latest keyboard-shaped waffle iron.
I mean seriously, if I wanted to look at Frozen cosplays or keyboard-shaped waffle irons, I probably wouldn't be watching Zero Punctuation.

Status: Mandatory e-learning
-
-
Small one then?
I've got a 6000 line monster in one of my source files. Yes, that's after refactoring it as much as possible. (It's virtually all one gigantic
switch
statement, and it's performance critical and damn, I hate that thing. Getting rid of it is a current project, and that involves really advanced techniques like runtime code generation. In a mixture of assembler, C and (a little) C++…)
-
It's virtually all one gigantic switch statement
Snap. This one loops through the settings table in the database at application startup and sets all the configuration variables. Pretty much a for-switch antipattern
-
Pretty much a for-switch antipattern
Ah, mine's a production-quality bytecode engine. A
switch
in awhile
loop is about as easy as you can get away with when it comes to doing that. The alternatives are often not as easy.The actual code in question is very
goto
-heavy though. If you don't see velociraptors when you usegoto
, it's because they're circling this code. (Doing that monstrosity does save a little bit of speed though, and this is the hottest code in the entire application. The primary bottleneck.)

Status:
public partial class SpecialRadioGroup : RadioGroup { public SpecialRadioGroup() : base() { this.Properties.Items.Clear(); this.Properties.Items.AddRange( GetAllTheThings(); ); this.SelectedIndex = 0; } }
Apparently, either VS2010 designer or DevExpress is being retarded, because despite the fact that
GetAllTheThings()
returns a constant set of values, the RadioGroup will occasionally fail to clear and I end up with three or four sets of duplicates. HOW THE HELL I DON'T EVEN.

I have my mandatory health and safety and health + safety: fire extinguishers e-training overdue right now. So does literally my entire department.
(Apparently 'annual recertification' expires immediately if you move offices, because the health+safety coordinator is a different person. And it expires the day you move. Because you totally won't be busy.)

Seems pretty well thought out.
Well I blasted through the 109 pages, kept failing the test until I didn't and got a PDF certificate I can print out and take to the framers. Part B tomorrow but the threat of more mandatory modules to follow depending on my "path".

STATUS: Trying the new flavor of KDE called Plasma Desktop.
I have to say, this is the first time I remember being impressed by how a Linux desktop looks.

Wrong, KDE4 was called "KDE Plasma Workspaces".
KDE5 is just "KDE Plasma 5".
-

You're right, it does look a bit like Windows
