Oh by the way--I survived my drive. And proved that caffeine is useless for me. Tried a "5-hour energy" (which are basically pure caffeine). Worked...for like 5 minutes, max. Sort of.
Join the club!

Status: Apparently the VM destruction hung for the first time in weeks. This meant that the auto-manage timer loop also hung, so no VMs were created (since the loop was effectively stopped).
Do I need to make a manager watchdog for the manager??!?!?
In other news, this erroneous error is still happening...

Status: going to bed despite it only being 7pm. I've been up continuously (except for about 45 minutes spread between 3 naps) since 7AM Monday. And I have another 10 hour drive tomorrow, fortunately to home this time. I'm tired.

Status: Stopping tasks was never so hard!
What possible device is a VM attempting to register???

Status: Said fuckit, tonight's a whiskey and mech combat night.
5 shots of Jack and 2 missions later and tonight is already much better than the rest of my day :D
Unfortunately I'm getting bored with mech combat and need another distraction...

I want to pay a token amount.
Whatever. Apparently PayPal transaction fees are even more ridiculous than I thought...
Doesn't PayPal take $0.31 plus some percentage of the total?

I don't remember. I would think it should be easy enough to read the docs... :P

I imagine that puts it very high on the "hard to get and if you do someone is going to notice" list.
You need a source of fluorine but I think you just get fluorine hot and mix it with chlorine, then distill out the ClF, you're left with ClF3.
On the other hand there's pretty much a zero percent chance you can do that.

Particularly once you factor in wanting to stay alive as well. This isn't friendly hobby chemistry we're talking about; fluorine has a downright nasty reputation for poisoning chemists all of its own, even before considering that it can make things react that are usually pretty thoroughly reacted…

@dkf and HF is plenty nasty all on its own.

I'm learning two completely different tech stacks at the same time and my brain went blank for a good 15 mins where I could not make sense of anything. passed out for a good hour and woke up feeling like brain has been fucked with thoroughly. I need a drink!

World of Warships is good despite their really really dumb advertising.
World of X from Wargaming.net in general is pretty good. I kind of lost interest in Tanks though.

@tsaukpaetra Well yes, but you were at the point of "purchasing" a specific track. My curiosity is piqued as to which track it was you were pondering purchasing, if I haven't got it already.

@pie_flavor Is bad, and you're only playing it because Monster Hunter isn't out on PC yet.

Well, I'm still known as Tsaukpaetra there, but I just got these tracks here

Status: My pocketknife is missing. Best guess is it fell out while I was on my motorcycle. Hope it didn't impact the road in such a way to trigger the assisted action! Although it was a cheap knife so maybe a tire would win against it anyway.

My tire didn't win against a random bullet shell. Stupid thing magically pierced the steel mesh thing and caused a slow leak.
Should have kept it, now that I think on it...

Correcting "up and down" to "down and up" already implies that.

For the Status thread, I'll read the rest of the 50-post page where I last left off (and maybe the next page or two if I feel like it) and then skip to the last or next-to-last page. So I'm "current" now. :P

Status: I feel unclean.
One of the projects I work on at the moment is an ecommerce site which amongst many other features allows the user to add products to a shortlist. I was charged with tracking down a particularly intractable bug (it was first identified years ago) in the view all shortlists section. This is a very old part of the site and as such is written using Knockout JS, which is evil and hates me.
This is what I did:*{ The first time initialiseShortLists() is executed the first shortlist is not passed correctly
It's probably due to something Knockout does behind the scenes.
Calling it again works as expected. Don't know why, can't find a better fix.
It doesn't work with a null argument, or an empty array of shortlists,
but a single shortlist with null data is fine and minimises the additional processing for this "fix"
}*
initialiseShortLists( [{ "title": null, "id": null, "uuid": null }] );
initialiseShortLists( ${shortlists} );

This is what I did:
Eh, it's not that bad. I have a static JSON object I'm using to initialize my Vue.js app log (which contains a few magic numbers hope they don't ever change). Because if I don't have the object in the exact format at init (empty objects won't work) Bad Things happen...

Never heard of that, and I think it's fun. Also a friend helped make it.

Ah... Apparently the redirect thing doesn't work. Oh well, I don't expect anyone to really use my site at all (it should be https://tsaukpaetra.com but something got lost in translation I guess).

Status: Trying to figure out where my memory is leaking in the Master Server page (luckily it's not affecting Master Server, just any client that connects to the administration interface website).
Tried taking a snapshot when it exceeded 2.3Gb private working memory:
Lol nope, crashed. Wonderbar...

Status: Visiting family in the American West. The Mormon cricket population is picking up. My recently-turned-three-year-old son just came in from outside where he was with my mother-in-law while she was squashing a bunch of them.

Now we just need another random flock of sea-gulls.
Status: Long drives are so much better after 11 hours of sleep (compared to doing them as an all-nighter).
Total distance traveled: 2971.1 miles. If I'd taken the other route home, it'd have been over 3000.

Heh. If I'd have taken it in motion, it wouldn't have been accurate.
One thing I wish about this trip is that I either had someone along to take pictures while I drove or that I had a thought-operated drone camera. Both are about as likely in my case

@tsaukpaetra Hang on, why don't you have file extensions enabled?
-
Apparently if you have windows set to use onedrive folders for all your documents and pictures and such, visual studio also decides to use a documents subdirectory. Which would be fine, but onedrive doesn't have exclusions in a meaningful way, so all your local projects get their bin and packages folders synched to onedrive.
Lame.

For that matter, why's it stay that way when the rest are done downloading and closed?

I'm smart enough not to need them.

Yeah, I really wish it had its own folder in the userprofile and not fucking Documents of all things...

@tsaukpaetra Smart enough to recognize a program whose icon is that of a common file type such as mp3 or txt?
