I guess windows quantum superposition edition strikes again. i always remove everything on the right side of the start menu, but it seems like after the big updates it gets reset. that plus windows repeatedly 'forgetting' my file association for PDFs and 'helpfully' offering to open them in edge. agh
-
@bb36e why would you remove everything on the right side of the start menu? I think it's pretty useful.
Maybe, because you haven't put anything into it, Windows assumes you weren't using that space anyway and fills it back up again.
And another E_NO_REPRO on that PDF thing. Mine have never opened in anything besides Adobe Reader.

@pie_flavor If you have any other languages installed, Windows 10 loves to throw its hands in the air and go "I can't find the localized string for this app name, so I'll display the lookup key instead! " Even if that other language is "en_CA".
Happened to me with Feedback Hub, Insider Hub, and
ZuneMusicGroove each and every update, and the way to fix was to uninstall and reinstall Japanese.

I'm having difficulty finding 'weird Java shit', and I don't have a lot of choice in Twitch because the FTB Launcher merged with the Curse Client merged with the Twitch Client.

What an amazing onebox.
I'm not going to click the link since it might make me too well informed to continue trolling, and assume that's some sort of fat feeder fetish site where the feeding sessions are now somehow imported into a game so they can be streamed on Twitch

Also the vertical alignment is all off. Ugh. Mi¢rosoft has ruined menus.
-
@boomzilla They should have implemented the start menu as a ribbon, really
-
-
@boomzilla I don't understand what's going on with that menu. It looks like you can turn it off without pressing "start", but that doesn't make any sense

I have some weird bug that I just can't wrap my head around. So far, that's probably my own fault. Trying to step through with the debugger to see what goings on.
This happens again, repeatedly, when I restart everything and try again.
Oh FFS. Am I supposed to debug the debugger now? Is there anything in this industry that isn't broken?
Fuck this, it's Friday afternoon, I'm going home.

@boomzilla You have Steam on Linux ?

Yes. Actually, twice. One native, one WINE.

Have you managed to get a debugger crash that corrupts the core dump you were debugging yet? Those are fun…
-

Not corrupting the core dump, no. But showing "gdb has crashed" instead of "gdb is busy counting to infinity", yes. You might think the people writing a debugger know how to write something that works, but that'd be foolish.

Quis cimicoiet ipsos cimicos?
(no idea if that's conjugated properly, and based entirely on a Google Translate result that says Debug translates to cimico)

But according to the holy Unix philosophy it should be a hundred years old and already have (almost) all of its bugs fixed by now.

People WTF:
Getting into the elevator on ground floor, alone, going up to 15. On 7th a whole family with 3 kids gets in, it's quite crowded, and press the button for ground floor. They ride the elevator up to 15 with me just to back down. I struggle to get out of the door because they just stand in the way without moving.
Why don't people understand the simplest things, like how to use a fucking elevator?!
If you want to go down you press the button for down. Then the elevator will stop on your floor on its way down, not on its way up. This is not hard!
-
This isn't cropped weird, it's just stuck at the bottom of the page like that, with the button labels hidden, even when scrolling. Can't wait for the update!
-

Often I see a bunch of people standing there, talking...
RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAIRSI'm so tempted to scream "COULD YOU GET OUT OF THE WAY YOU STUPID FUCK, please"

If you want to go down you press the button for down. Then the elevator will stop on your floor on its way down, not on its way up. This is not hard!Nothing is universal. It is obvious that you push the button with the up arrow if you are above where you want to be. I don't recall where, but probably somewhere in east asia.
-
@pleegwat It's worked that way in every building in every country I've been in so far. Never mind that, it's irrelevant, they're not on vacation.
EDIT: People do that all the time. They presumably don't even understand the concept that the two buttons serve a different purpose. Some people press both, maybe thinking it'll make the elevator magically go faster.
-
@topspin The elevator will arrive faster if they do that. The car that arrives may not be going the direction they want to go, like these idiots found out, so it may take them longer to get to their destination, but they probably don't have sufficient brain cells to realize that.

Heh, you are from Canada, adding that please at the end...

Of course, it's the Canadian thing to do.
It's like saying "sorry about that" right before punching some asshole in the face

Ever heard of SteamOS?
Guess what it is based on.
Debian GNU/Linux, of course.

@bulb Thanks for the info, I guess
FYI, my gaming rig is dual-boot.
And Valve showed gratitude to Debian's dev

It is (almost) hundred years old all right. Just that rather than having it's bugs fixed it means nobody remembers how it works any more.
Back in the day I was told, by a colleague who dabbled in gcc at the time, that gdb is a huge state machine, and that it sometimes wanders off into some state that nobody remembers what it is supposed to mean anymore. That was at least 15 years ago. I doubt anybody remembered since then. If anything, they forgot about a couple more.

then I guess.
(yes, I know about the free games for DDs—I was still regularly reading the Planet when that happened)

I will say there's one rare exception. If you're at a special event like a con and there's a big event on a floor above you, every single elevator going up may be packed too full for you to get on by the time it gets to you. In that case you ride the elevator down and back up again to get there (or take the damn stairs, of course, but I've been in hotels where the stairs are for emergency exits only).
-
@heterodox Yeah, maybe. Rare exceptions are no excuses for people being dumb all the time, though.

Today I saw a device that, in certain circunstances need to be connected to a PC this way:
- a microusb cable connects the device to a box (dunno what this box does)
- the box is connected to a cable that has a RJ45 plug in one end and a RS-232 plug in the other end
- the RS-232 end is conected to a PC using a serial-usb adapter, because the computer didn't have a RS-232 port

Must be an Apple device. No wait, they don't have micro-usb.

I hear that's how you get sucked into Windows Update, though.
