I see what you did there...
It would be interesting to see what the most popular tags were for these noisy comments. I'm guessing jQuery would be one.

I wish I had the time and patience to do it!
However, this Meta article on auto-flagging comments is very interesting.
Ah yes... I forgot about the nightmares of command line arguments.
Revive this topic?
Yeah, go on. I'm feeling lucky. Anyway...
I was wondering, if someone were to write a bot that looked for unanswered questions, ran it through a Google search, and picked the top result that wasn't equal to the current question... How much rep could it get?
I've never had trouble putting spaces in filenames on Ubuntu. Is this an issue with older or other more generic distros? Does the same issue apply with Unicode characters in paths?
Yes, I believe that's probably the most common cause of failure for Western users. Space isn't on the allowed character list.
I switched from Firefox to Chrome too in the last couple of months on my home machine. It started out as an experiment to see if it was actually possible. For the most part, it works pretty well., but I still think its UI setup is vastly inferior to Firefox for a few reasons...
Not directly related to Chrome itself, but the Chrome webstore (addons site) is absolutely terrible. You cannot view an extension's details outside of the tiny little overlay window it gives you, and browsing comments/reviews is a mere afterthought (you also cannot edit or remove comments left there).
I continue to use Firefox at work, and I could switch back at home at any time, but fact is, they're both pretty similar in most respects.
I still wish Mozilla would fix their fucking decade-old bugs though.
Let's continue with a slightly lesser WTF... Please Rockstar, make me to math.
Also nice to see that people haven't wasted any time in documenting the Social Club JSON endpoints for future hacking fun.
Steam has issued the following announcement to all users who bought GTA5:
13 April
Dear Steam Customer,
We recently learned of an issue that can impact players attempting to install Grand Theft Auto V on Windows PCs. For those experiencing this issue, you have three options available to you at this time.
First, Rockstar Games intends to have a fix for this issue soon.
Second, customers can try the manual work around detailed below.
Third, if neither of the above works for you, the self-refund tool will continue to be available until the official fix is released.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
Please see below for more information from Rockstar Games, including details on the manual workaround.
The Steam Team
We have identified an issue where players with Windows usernames that include characters not found in the table at the bottom of this page will likely run into difficulties when attempting to download, install, or play GTAV. We are currently working on a fix for this issue.
If you do not want to wait for a fix, you need to create a new Administrator User Account for your Windows system that only includes letters A to Z, a to z or numbers 0-9 from the basic roman alphabet. For a full list of supported characters, see the table at the bottom of this page. Please note that simply renaming your current User Account will not correct this issue. To create the account, follow these instructions from the Microsoft website:
Windows 8/8.1:
Windows 7:
Windows Vista:
We will update this support article with any new information as soon as we have it, including expected timing of a fix and whether you will be able to transfer progress on the newly-created Windows username over to your original Windows user account.
If you would like to receive an automatic update via email when there is more information about a fix, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page.

I think he was trying to be clever and stop the long code lines from going over the right edge of the page, but breaking everything else in the process. Better to use
overflow-x: auto
custom.css line 66:
pre { font-family: Consolas, monospace; white-space:normal}
This is breaking every article that features code blocks.
Google have owned DoubleClick for ages. As far as IPs are concerned, it probably gets shuttled along to the right place inside their networks either way.
This is what happens when they let people like Atwood set the default configuration settings, and also apply those settings to existing instances when they are updated.
FTFY
If you were an accountant and knew nothing about databases, but you saw a massive gap in invoice numbers, wouldn't you be concerned? Also, it is a legal requirement here for VAT invoices to be issued sequentially. Whoops.
Setting the cache value to 1 could still cause a gap of 1 if the server restarts, from what I can see.
Apparently, the requirements for our legacy system stated that the invoices MUST start at 2140. Why? Because that's how many manual invoices they had written out before the system was made, of course! But rather than start the index seed with 2041, they manually add this magic number inside the code.
Well I still wouldn't use that... The risk of concurrency issues and duplicate numbers is far worse than gaps.
Yes, that's exactly what Microsoft did, although from what i read, SEQUENCE columns are still OK.
And yeah... 20 sounds sensible for such purposes. I have no idea why MS thought that caching 1K-10K at a time on infrequently-used tables was a great idea. I don't even know if you can configure this. At least there's a flag to disable it.
DBAs updating to the latest version of SQL Server 2012 started getting this issue back in July:
Using an ID with an autonumber will suddenly stop producting sequential numbers for the sake of performance, regardless of actual metrics. As you can imagine, this has caused havoc. And yes, our DBAs just updated to it, which was what caused me to research this. Now I have to explain to accounting why Microsoft decided there should be giant gaps between invoice numbers.
If MS said specifically in the docs that autonumbers may not guarantee sequential numbers when they first invented it, perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess. Then again, the previous developers would have used it anyway and I'd be in the same situation.
It's still better than Oracle, right?
Thankfully, their changes to OSX have been more conservative and sensible.
Trying to assimilate all users of all devices to a single interface, for one.

Paging @Lorne_Kates for more podcast work.
No. You're doing it wrong. What you need is a toast notification
Hey, it looks like there's another page of discussion over there.
(They seem to finally have just given up entirely on getting the "Categories" feature in the Library working.)
Did you try out out the update they pushed about a month ago? The one that lets you assign games to multiple categories, and also hide games entirely?
OK, yes, I ticked that box a long time ago and forgot about it because it doesn't actually display incoming message notifications in the favicion. It only shows notifications for new topics when you are on the homepage. Durrr....
Huh... I left a tab open on the forum home page and yes, that indeed seems to be what's happening. I guess Discourse must have a feature to take the site's favicon and dynamically modify it by slapping a number on top.
He would probably fit in quite well onthis site.meta.d
FTFY.
Also, I don't think the new changes to Steam's store are that bad. Maybe the blue's a bit strong, but the layout it generally neat and tidy. The recommendations? They'll get better as you mark stuff you don't want. Infinistroll? Meh... Could be worse. Curators? Not a terrible idea. However, still no updates to the core Steam application UI? Very disappointing.
Last Friday and Yesterday, I noticed the forum's favicon were shown as seen below:
Obviously, it's not the date. It's not a notification counter either. And, when I refresh, it goes away and returns to the regular interrobang. So, what gives? Discourse bug or something else?
Yes, the later introduction of the dedicated Lock classes to give programmers better control over synchronization was a cautionary tale.
As much as I like Java, I think the decision to allow programmers to synchronize on any object was a bad one. Similarly for adding wait
, notify
and so on to the base Object
class, where those features should have been assigned specifically to a specialized utility class.
The good news is this code will never deadlock. Excellent performance!
I had to do a double-take on that synchronized
bit. Never seen anyone synchronize on the result of a method call... and this certainly is a good example of what not to do.
However, it will still be more accurate than meta.d because most of the reported issues get closed as WONTFIX or are deleted silently.
I think you mean bug tracking! Sticky notes are pretty damn hard to execute.
Oh come on guys, this is a serious question. Don't be so irresponsible.
You must be new here? Coding Help category is over there.
Would that be considered lossy? I think adding and removing whitespace at known places is simply a matter of adding and removing redundancy.
I wonder if she could have kept her cool if it was a wasp?
True enough. The Kismet editor (known as Blueprint now?) is made for map makers so they can quickly make simple logic for objects and shaders. Obviously, more taxing tasks should be done by the programmers.
#define Fine(a, b) {println("My, aren't you fine, "+a+"!"; mysql_real_pay(a, b);}
Still beating you with my #define - +
on the -555!... Do defines even work that way? Eh. This is all nonsense anyway.
That's OK. I made it a while
loop for a reason! $2 per loop is still fine by me.
