You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.
Geez, I mentioned this in my Reputation vs Posts topic.
@anotherusername I will decline to answer that without advice of counsel.
@the_quiet_one References to scatological songs are apparently my new thing.
@heterodox So the technician should get the user to turn off "friendly" error messages in order to enable them to make useful problem reports? It seems the nginx folk are just automating that.

Have any of you used lenovo?
My in-laws have a Lenovo with a 29GB SSD. Doesn't run the latest Windows 10, though.
I wonder how long before @ben_lubar does the Rog-o-Matic for this.
@blakeyrat I make appointments whenever I need to something more complicated than what a teller deals with.
When I took a weekend jaunt to Victoria to do identity verification for a new account, you better bet I made an appointment.
@scholrlea The DataHand has a lot of different components that are unique to it. There is a lot of adjustability to fit different hand shapes, leading to complexity.
The actuators are magnetic, which they claimed required a third of the force that conventional actuators do.
@jbert said in Look on fsociety's keyboard, ye mighty, and despair!:
But that's no longer innovative, as that design is just dead (sadly).
As I said, manufacturing econonmics. That design is a bitch to manufacture.
But it's pretty much the last innovative keyboard. All we've gotten since have been various bits of bling attached to the same old standardized keys.
Okay, maybe the Touch Bar.
@tsaukpaetra Perhaps you should do a double act on YouTube.
@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
And comparing bool values should be much cheaper than that.
Really? Have you benchmarked that? Especially bools you have to do synchronization around?
@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Can someone explain this to me?
If you don't synchronize then the thread that checks the bool might not see the change made by the timer thread.
@tsaukpaetra Nothing guarantees it would. The compiler might even optimize out all but the first check.
@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
So you're indicating that the compiler might manage to believe these bools can never be assigned to and thus only need to be checked once?
Pretty much.
Isn't there normally a warning for that kind of thing?
Nope. It's just plain ol' optimization.
Research "memory visibility".
And it's shocking the number of people I interview who have multithreading experience and no clue about visibility.
@tsaukpaetra Your synchronization model isn't particularly clear, but if you have the same issue with the packet forwarder having visibility of updates to the timestamps then you might have problems with it knowing about the ban in the first place.
@anotherusername Guess you should have used TLA+.

my development branch knows about its development environment; while master only knows about production
@dkf I've been afflicted by coworkers producing two types of nigh-unreviewable pull requests:
One developer who provides a single commit changing tens of files, comprising the entirety of a change ticket. The first one took me three days to pick apart. The second one didn't get reviewed.
Others who provide tens of commits, showing each attempt in their debug cycle. With so many changes that get replaced later in the stream, the stream can only be reviewed in totality—essentially reducing to the single-mega-commit type.
The latter I was fortunately able to teach how to rewrite history as they go, prior to pull request. Now at least from them I get nice sequences of self-contained commits, permitting me to subdivide the task.
History prior to start of code review is not useful and tends to obfuscate. Rewriting it to be clean helps code review and subsequent maintenance.
@dkf said in Microsoft switches to git:
I'm more lenient (review just the delta, not the path to get there)
My point was that when the delta is 40 changed files, with changes throughout several layers and including a few refactors, it is difficult and time consuming to pick apart in order to adequately review.
@thecpuwizard In this case it was “We’ll see what Quality you get for the demo. And shrink the Features too.”
When you give him an IDE, he'll have trouble installing it.
A widower gets it on with the nanny, a disgraced ex-religious figure. After the widower's daughter has an assignation with a neighbor, the whole family puts on an exhibition to escape from the obligations of society.
I am deeply sorry I haven't posted an apology to this thread sooner. I have not kept up with relevant threads enough to make timely comments.

Not answering because anonymization.
@Yamikuronue A buttercream would have worked better than a glaze for that style of decoration.
@Lorne-Kates said in Lorne Kate's just gave me money!:
You need branch numbers and bank numbers and account numbers and routing numbers and more.
Yeah, the Canadian system is pretty confusing. There are two forms of routing numbers in use: The MICR (Transit) number used for cheques is the five digit branch number followed by the three digit institution number. The EFT number, used for direct deposits and wire transfers, is a zero followed by the institution number and then the branch number.
I've had wires fail unless I prepended the account number with a branch number. I suspect SWIFT processing is a bundle of WTF.
@Yamikuronue I highly recommend reading BakeWise by Shirley Corriher. Explanations from a chemist.
EDIT: Ok, so it oneboxes if I break the link syntax.
@tsaukpaetra Good point! Scan from random site shows everything blocked as it should be.
@polygeekery It was handy when I was developing our product's IPv6 support. But later my then-ISP quietly dropped IPv6 support for my then-router.
But less CGNAT now.
@boomzilla said in Is DevOps also a manifestation of white male privilege?:
I don't think it was an emergency, exactly...
Right. Not really an emergency.
And of course, you're correct when you say that scrum (or whatever) wasn't implemented in that case.
It sure looked like scrum, except for the part where most of my stories kept carrying over sprint to sprint.
In our normal process, I'd say that and we'd meet with whomever we needed to meet with to get that stuff figured out.
Sure, I said that. I also mentioned that while I had planned a story for subsystem X, a story for subsystem Y, and so on, what I had to do was integrate subsystems X, Y, and Z to do behavior A, then behavior B, then behavior C. Fortunately, the project manager didn't insist on my rewriting all the tickets.
@kt_ said in Is DevOps also a manifestation of white male privilege?:
As I said, there are different ways to approach such a situation, probably none of them is to stick to the process.
Your "So sit the fuck down" didn't admit to such subtleties.
Estimation happens even in the waterfalliest of waterfall: if you're in this industry, you're going to have to estimate. But not everything can be estimated.
