Status: We've been doing the interviews to fill a bunch of posts in my current project today. I wasn't on the interview panel either. () One of the people who had their interview is a colleague from years ago β who is very good at testing () β and I think it is fairly likely that we'll be hiring him as he's got the sort of attitude and skills that we need. () We need improved testing, and maybe we'll get it.
Meanwhile, the horrible Python code appears to be the gift that keeps giving (a previous developer was unhealthily fond of
kwargs
). And it turns out that our core C runtime definesexit()
to be a macro that sets up some flags and then returns to the caller to keep on running. That's the the sort of thing that isβ¦ unexpected the first time you encounter itβ¦

status Getting impatient with insider build 15002.
Downloading updates 100%
It's been 1/2 hr dude! WTF?To those trying to download/install 15002 You REALLY will have to have patience. Download will reach 100% and stay that way for eternity ( about 15 to 30 minutes ). Then it will proceed to " Preparing to install xxx% " stage.
Well fuck. And mine will take longer - it's a VM sitting on a USB drive.

Fuck not having my own computer to work on, and all my userscripts and stylesheets to make this fucking forum usable.
Right now, at bottom of this page.
Press PGUP, goes up one page.
Press PGUP again, jellypotatoes and drops me back down to the bottom of the page.
I assume it's assfuckery around the blockquote a post above.
Fuck you NodeBB.

Also, my wife is using FF latest. I installed all the privacy things for her, plus the "unfuck Firefox AssholeSyphillus UI" thing. It was working ok.
I ask her, "why do you want the latest"
She says "so more websites will work"
I notice FF submitting a crash report.
Out of curiosity I go to about:crashes.
That's some definition of "working", Mozilla you useless fucks.

That can't be right, apparently Chrome mobile never crashed. Or it never got the chance to log it, because I know for a fact that it made my phone kernel panic at least twice since last year...

My job is safe, I've been assured of that. Doesn't stop me being concerned though.

Is it one of those Farnsworth moments where he announces "Good news, everyone! To keep our EU business you are all moving to Scotland." ?

I've never smoked pot, so I wouldn't know :P
But seriously, I look at my hands and think "These are the most valuable parts of my body after my brain, and they are an amazing piece of bioengineering."

it's the responsible thing to do to pets.
okay, i'm not a pet, but some people might disagree, and it's easier to do this and just have some human on retainer to bail me out should a disagreement arise than it is to actually fight the status quo.

Now that's an interesting idea for to a story I'm not actually going to write but did intend to briefly after I first thought of it. It's about werewolves.

Status: New game server is finally up and running! Good timing too, because AMD's high-quality mechanical design meant some pins ripped off my old server's FX-8350 CPU because it was stuck to the heatsink and ripped right out of the socket when I pulled the fan/heatsink to remove the dust bunnies.
Now using a Xeon E5 2630v4. 2.2 GHz, 10 cores, HyperThreading, 25 MB cache, and 64 GB DDR4 RAM. I have yet to see it break 15% CPU usage, and with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo on it the CPU temp sensor has yet to report a value greater than room temperature.
Oh yeah, and it's a dual-socket board, so eventually I'll toss another identical CPU on it.
Now I finally have the resources to start up another Space Engineers server or two, and properly evaluate Ark Survival Evolved, which the old server could not run even with 16 GB RAM allocated to that virtual machine.
