TIL on mobile Terraria while watching the credits you can use your finger to scroll them faster or backwards. Nice touch. Pun unintended

I remember on the PC version, you could drag the sun with your mouse in some situations.

TIL Avatar 2, 3, and 4 are being produced simultaneously right now [1]
-
This confused me slightly at first, I thought it was talking about sequels to the Avatar: The Last Airbender film that everyone seems to think was terrible. I completely forgot about the blue people Avatar film.

Yes, everyone did.

Quote ANY line
"You're not in Kansas anymore" - That military guyOh, and the trailer had that music from The Island's soundtrack.
That's... pretty much it.
-
Or name 2 characters
Ripley was in it! And that chick from The Fast and The Furious!
Wait... it said name... crap, I'm out.
-
"You're not in Kansas anymore"
The only memorable quote was one that originated in a film from like 1939?
Also they're making another one:
-
Also they're making another one:
Some anonymous guy on a programming humour site's forum was saying earlier that they're making 2, 3 and 4 simultaneously.

Someone else missed that post.

Navi, unobtainium. Close enough?

Avatar 2, 3, and 4 are being produced simultaneously right now
Oh, man, that's gonna be a total flop. Pretty much the only claim to fame Avatar had was the 3D, which is somewhere between standard and annoying right now, so unless Cameron reinvents Smell-o-vision the right way... yeah, those three are not gonna be nearly as successful as the predecessor.
-
TIL Avatar 2, 3, and 4 are being produced simultaneously right now [1]
Because the best trilogies have four.
-
Maybe James Cameron felt bad for having so much money so he decided to waste some making sequels that no one will watch.
-
TIL Avatar 2, 3, and 4 are being produced simultaneously right now [1]
That article is so 2013.
-
-
making 2, 3 and 4 simultaneously.
BUT STILL ONLY RELEASING THEM ONE PER YEAR!
Fuck you, Cameron, let us all get it out of our systems all at once.
-
those three are not gonna be nearly as successful as the predecessor.
Hilariously, the article I read at lunch said that he's disbanded his production company and EVERYTHING IS AVATAR from now one. Guys' probably gonna be in for a disappointment when they open.
Apparently underwater will feature heavily in the next one.
-
Apparently, "the discourse" is a common phrase for referring to stupid arguments on tumblr.

###TIL:
I changed my mind about this thread. Too much crap is going into the Status thread. Better to siphon some over to here as well...
Ease the load on the old pipes a bit...
It all goes into the same river anyway...
Yay, poo metaphors.

##TIL:
It's 2016, and Excel still doesn't know how to export CSV with anything but latin encoding.
The solution that finally worked for me? Copy/paste produces a nice CSV with all the crazy characters preserved.
-
TIL if you RDP into one machine, and then RDP out of that machine into another machine, when you copy/paste from your local machine to the destination RDP session, it magically just works as intended, letting you get your file directly to the second remote server.
This was... unexpected.
-
That's normal. It only ever wouldn't work if your IT Nazis have group policy disabled it for "security" raisins.
-
I know it's normal to have copy/paste work from local to remote, but from local to remote to remote is a new thing to me.
As for the IT people... small company. The entire dev team is the IT department. It's kind of cool in some ways.
-
The clipboard propagates from the local to the remote machine, so it makes sense that it'd also propagate from the remote to the second remote if you've made a double RDP hop. (Assuming that file transfers aren't blocked by either of the two RDP hops, of course.)
Also, the option to disable transferring files doesn't disable transferring the clipboard entirely, so anything else that you can highlight and copy (text... rich text... pictures...) will usually transfer just fine. Which means that nothing really prevents you from transferring a file... you just have to base64-encode it and copy it to the clipboard as text...
-
I've just been in IT (and around here) too long where I kind of assumed that nothing will work as intended any more and that there will be 1001 edge cases why not, as opposed to 'just working'.
-
you just have to base64-encode it and copy it to the clipboard as text...
I'm nto sure about RDP but TeamViewer will let you copy binary files via the clipboard.
-
If you highlight a file in Explorer and copy it, and RDP file transfers aren't disabled, then yeah. Pasting it somewhere in the remote session will transfer the file.
If file transfers are disabled, it still usually shares the clipboard if you've copied text, so you can use the base64 workaround I described.
-
TIL that a mount of an AFS share of a user's home directory on a NAS to an OSX system will induce MS Office to not open or save any files on that share. No other applications have any problems. Even more fun, a different mount of the same space (that includes all the users on the NAS instead of just their own home, because that's the way our users definitely want to roll) works just fine with everything.
This Makes No Sense.
Fortunately we have workarounds and comprehension that it's Office that is being odd, so we can just shrug and go “we don't know” without anyone getting upset.

I'm always amazed by that as well.

##TIL:
It feels great to drag those little trello cards around, and add labels and checklists and screenshots and organize them into little lists.
Too bad none of that leads to actual work being done.

TIL mIRC was created by a vegetarian British Programmer born in Jordan to a Syrian father and a Palestinian mother with family living all around the Arab world.
Ah, useless trivia.
-
Obviously, an errorist. Because Hitler was a vegetarian.
Filed Under: But what we really want to know is, was Hanna Reitsch a vagitarian? Probably not, but for some reason it seemed funny to say it.
-
TIL mIRC was created by a vegetarian British Programmer […]
Also:
Question: Do you read any blogs? Answer: I occasionally pop in to Nigel Parry, mathew, Vleeptron_Z, Caterina and Coding Horror, among many others.
Hopefully he reads that blog ironically.

##TIL:
There's a whole another level of Linux file attributes I never knew about, with commands like
chattr
andlsattr
that I never heard about.You can use these to make it so that even root can't delete a file. How annoying.

Didn't know where else to post this:

##TIL:
CamStudio screen recorder tries to save recordings in its "application installed directory" - which is Program Files.
This TIL came after investigating mysterious codec crashes when I tried to record a quick screencast.
-

That's a seriously dumb default. :WTF: were they thinking?

Backasswards-compatibility?

TIL:
4chan calls Hillary Clinton "Shillary". I find that both funny and appropriate.
-
I would have accepted Shrillary, too.
-
-
So I'm debugging something and I add a global event handler on click because I want to get the event's target...
and right about then I realize fuck, I should've stored that to a global variable instead of just logging it...
-
TIL the word "communitarianism". Someone actually coined it and thought it's a Good Thing.
-
Seems OK to me
-
To me in that context it sounded like a portmanteau of "communism" and "totalitarianism". Actually, when I read the definition you attach, it's even somewhat nazi.
