@lucas1 No, that's different syntax.
\\?\D:\verylongfilename
for long files vs\\SERVER\filename
for remote files (which can be combined\\?\SERVER\verylongfilename
).

I'm wondering if you can shorten the name of the job. IIRC, Jenkins lets you give jobs a display name as well as a name, letting you call it
hyp_night_mc

Bitcoin is very bullish. Made about £200 tonight and £400 at work.
I have to fuck this up at some point, I am just going on a feeling in my gut, I cannot rationalise and I cannot match it up to any news I have seen.
This makes me nervous.

Bought back in at 4850 and it is 5600 almost. Massive amounts for fuck all effort.
Placed a sell order at 5500 and see if I wake up cancelling that order or having some cash in the exchange.

It broke the pipelines, solved the original problem, but introduced new ones.

Yeah. No idea where it came from either. But I fixed it by.... removing the trailing slash in the output path.

Made a good £500-600 on bitcoin today. Was trying to keep the browser window on my screen the bottom left of my right screen all day.
Was a good move to buy in again last night. I dunno if I can read it or lucky so far. But have kept a healthy doubtfulness of my abilities in predicting it and it has served me well.

Why? The tabs themselves are in your preferred order. The dropdown is meant to be a, for lack of a better term, "index view" of all the tabs you have open.

I wouldn't care if Ctrl-Tab cycled through them in the order they are in, but no, the little window thing that pops up takes its tips from Windows Alt-Tab list and keeps them in the order of latest-focused. Argh!

Turns out, you can't have more than one PowerShell instance taking to Azure at once. Or something. I don't know. All I know is downloading the database snapshot and uploading the VHD At the same time is a no-no.

@tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:

I use this
Highly customisable, but in this context, the important thing is that it allows multiple rows of tabs, as well as combining similarly named tabs (e.g.
form1.cs
,form1.cs(designer)
andform
.designer.cs`)By default it sorts tabs alphabetically but I think you can tell it to keep them in the order they were opened

Day 3 of this fucking illness. Throat is mostly feeling better, now it's just getting this crap to clear out of my lungs and getting all systems back into operational standards.

Literally every single program in existence implements Ctrl-Tab differently. Even slightly, but different. Even between different Microsoft programs. Even between the SAME Microsoft program but different versions.

Status: I used the
time
utility in an attempt to get how long a given command took on the server. Everything I read seems to indicate that it's supposed to output something like:real 1:23:31.5 user 1:33.2 sys 11:28.2
Did I get that? No! Of course not! Why would you expect such simple text!? This is what came of it:
7.592u 2.827s 9:11:09.46 0.0% 3598+1194k 10+0io 1pf+0w
I can only assume that means "about 7.5 seconds user time, about 3 seconds system time, 9 hours real time, 0% CPU time overall, something, something, something"
I can't find any mans that explain it, so I guess that's about as good as I'm going to get...
Edit: Nevermind, scouring the man page for
time
and seeing it reference "Some shells may provide this utility as a built-in" and then discovering that my shell iscsh
, and then digging through that to the section "Environment Variables and Predefined Shell Variables" (side note, why is that a tab character between Predefined and Shell?) to find out the default output of the built-intime
command is%U, %S, %E, %P, %X, %D, %I, %O, %F, %W
, which translates to User, Sys, Real, Total, Average shared mem, Average unshared mem, block IPS, block OPS, Page faults, and "swaps".

@tsaukpaetra huh, makes me wonder which

you are actually getting. Bash's builtin has what you expect. My standalone time has the-p

with similar output to the bash builtin.

It happened often enough that it ocured to me, this might be an Indian thing. Maybe they nod their head left-right instead of up-down? Or, since the guy was also nodding up-down occasionally, maybe he's just a weirdo or has a sprained neck.

IMHO "nodding" is an up-down motion, "wagging" is the left-right variant.

No, that message isn't "2GB free RAM" it's "2GB RAM period" (the VM has 1 GB ram because it really doesn't need much more than that).

Ask the FreeNAS devs.
To be fair, I don't use the shell for almost anything.
I'm assuming it was chosen because it's slightly better than
sh
itself and lightweight enough to justify using somehow? Who knows.
