We wondered the same thing.

Because the stupid one-boxing shows the forker's profile picture, individual repos apparently don't have custom pictures.

Status: I found a compiler bug!
src/random.c: In function 'poisson_dist_variate_exp_minus_lambda': src/random.c:324:7: internal compiler error: in gimplify_expr, at gimplify.c:8862 p *= ulrbits(uni_rng(seed_arg));
So it seems that gcc (in the version we're using) can't always change
p *= thing
top = p * thing
, even though it has no good reason for refusing to do so. (This is partially caught up in its handling of fixed-point arithmetic, but I still wouldn't expect this sort of thing to go wrong like thisβ¦)What do I win? The need to fix this in my code before my tests pass!
Lol...gimplify.

That's what I'd think if I hadn't made the mistake once of looking at that code in gcc.

Can't get this stupid PCI-E wireless card to work. Showed up in Device Manager exactly once, but was blocking my graphics card's fan; the graphics card didn't seem to like that very much, go figure (display froze while installing drivers for it). Tried it in all other slots and while the light turns on and it's clearly getting power, it doesn't show up in Device Manager anymore so I can't install drivers for it. Have a sinking feeling that when I moved it to another slot something went bad. Guess I may have to return it as DOA.

GG Microsoft, not only does your OS restart unexpectedly, but your flagship development suite does too!

Hm, wonder if I'm having the same problem as this guy:
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)
- The PCIEX4 slot shares bandwidth with all PCI Express x1 slots. All PCI Express x1 slots will become unavailable when a PCIe x4 expansion card is installed.
The way around this is to put your graphics card in the PCIEX16 slot. This will then leave the PCIE x1 slots working for the network card.
Though my graphics card is already in an x16 slot according to Speccy:
Slot PCI-E Gen 2
Slot Usage In Use
Data lanes x16
Slot Designation SLOT 4
Characteristics 3.3V, PME, SMBus
Slot Number 3All the other slots show up as "Available". Well, what the fuck. Am I going to have to try every fucking permutation--
-
@heterodox
Most motherboards have 2 PCIe x16 "slots", but one only runs at x4 bandwidth and is silkscreened accordingly. Both will report as x16 to the OS though, because why not.

Moving the wireless card to slot 1 (as far as possible away from the graphics card) didn't help.
-
Moved the graphics card back, no change. Put the wireless card back in slot 4 (this was the configuration in which it originally worked) and I'm now convinced the problem isn't power or bandwidth, it's just that the GTX 970 has such a fucking fat ass that when in slot 2, it makes slot 3 inaccessible and basically put the components on the wireless card's board INTO the fan. Recorded the sound that makes for shits and giggles; maybe I'll upload it tomorrow.
So, should have put the graphics card in slot 4 and the wireless card in slot 1 originally. Live and learn, I guess. (Or not live, in the case of that wireless card. )

Status: not a great morning so far.
In the 5 minutes I was out of the room after making a sandwich to take to work, the dog ate it
Leaving for the train, there was some light rain so I took a lightweight coat. By the time I got off the train ready for the 1.5 mile cycle up a hill to work, it was pissing down and there was driving wind. My coat never stood a chance
Halfway up said hill, the chain on my bike snapped so I had to walk the rest of the way, extending the time I was in the rain, so now I look like a drowned rat
Colleague offered to get me a bacon sandwich from the canteen, but they're out of bacon
Can I go home yet?

Found a new way of taking and annotating screenshots:- Take a screenshot
- Open Paint
- Paste the screenshot in there
- Draw on it
- Take a screenshot of the paint screen
- ....
- Profit!
Extra steps for the advanced users:
- Take a screenshot of the screenshot in a screenshot
- Blur the original screenshot
- Put on wooden table
- Take a picture of it
-
@Luhmann reminds me of the time I got sent a screenshot of the Snipping tool that had been used to screenshot some text I'd asked for

That's the opensource way, they are expecting you to submit a PR to make it look like a potato.

@wharrgarbl But can they make it look like covfefe?

@antiquarian Potatoes are a complement for covfefe and not a replacement for it

Because it turns an adjective into a noun

@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:

But in general, English is pretty good at changing the meanings of things quite fundamentally through the addition of a small word. It's something that it's easy to overlook as a native speaker, but it's a relatively distinctive feature of the language; most other (European) languages don't work like that.

@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:

Some of the plugins do. But only when starting or closing as far as I know. Never in the middle. (I've had a message "a plugin has been automatically updated. it will take effect next time you start")
