  @ben_lubar I mentioned it to poke fun at the Atomium’s reputation for being rather zealous in getting images of the thing removed. I’ve seen TV reports where they showed a model Atomium instead of the real thing because of this.

  @Tsaukpaetra said in I can has safe shutdown?: Put another way, if I do ping google.com and it just says no route to host, do I blame ping or the fact that my network is disconnected? BTW, ping -n 8.8.8.8 tends to be one of the better ways to test routability (provided you don't work for the alphabet company). Easy to remember, and doesn't try to screw around with DNS (in case that's what's broken… )

  Paying players to download their games? Maybe that's what companies like Deep Silver, Digital Homicide, Teyon, and BMC Studios should be doing, 'cos they aren't going to get any downloads otherwise now that word of how bad their crap is has gotten around.

  @hifi I had a similar experience a few weeks back when our company Office 365 moved from 2013 to 2016; manually downloading and installing was the only way to stop it moaning. Of course, InTune was meant to install it for me, but InTune is as good at installing software and updates as Edward Scissorhands is at threading a needle.

  Posting about a different youtube bug reminded of this one I screenshot a while ago and forgot to post: Reminds me of a story a friend told me about how when he was a kid, if he accidentally pressed the insert key, and it enabled type-over mode, he would just restart the computer. The title of this thread is a reference to the BBC television sitcom ‘The IT Crowd’, with it's catchphrase of “have you tried turning it off and then turning it on again?”

  I've had to get Express Replacements for my boss' iPhone a number of times, and Apple does something similar. They put a hold on your credit card until you return the broken phone and the form fill in the address and credit card details has no labels and the placeholder text is so light it's nearly the same color as the form itself, I didn't even notice there WAS placeholder text in the first place.

  @presidentsdaughter said:A value returned by POSIX's time(), which is no. of seconds since epoch, includes UTC leap seconds? No. UTC is civil time, which assumes that leap seconds don't exist. When a leap second happens, it's usual to either just correct the clock immediately (not normally a big problem) or push the adjustment through over a period of time (e.g., adjust by one millisecond per second over the following 1000 seconds). Either of these works well for most applications. The others typically need GPS time anyway, or are NTP implementations that are written by people who ought to know WTF they are doing…

  @PleegWat said:I do believe #include <foo.h> and #include "foo.h" use different include paths - I believe only the latter also automatically searches in the current directory? Pedantic and completely useless C standard answer: A preprocessing directive of the form # include <h-char-sequence> new-line searches a sequence of implementation-defined places for a header identified uniquely by the specified sequence between the < and > delimiters, and causes the replacement of that directive by the entire contents of the header. How the places are specified or the header identified is implementation-defined. 3 A preprocessing directive of the form # include "q-char-sequence" new-line causes the replacement of that directive by the entire contents of the source file identified by the specified sequence between the " delimiters. The named source file is searched for in an implementation-defined manner. If this search is not supported, or if the search fails, the directive is reprocessed as if it read # include <h-char-sequence> new-line <header> searches for the header in an implementation-defined manner, and "header" searches for the header in an implementation-defined manner - yay for the C standard! But yeah, the usual implementation is for "" to search in the current directory, and then fallback to <> search mode.
