@zecc : that frustrating moment when you quickly type an application name in the Start menu, and the search window pops up because you made a typo.
I wonder if autocorrection and predictive text has actually made us lousier typists.

Atuocorrection has made me a much beter typisy.
-
@onyx Seems to be a trend in search windows. They show results while you are typing. If you continue typing, any results which were at the top when you only entered a few letters are moved way down because if you wanted them, obviously you'd have stopped typing?
-

Excuse me for typing at semi-decent speeds, search. Here, let me connect this mechanical typewriter to my computer, the fact that I have to hit keys with a hammer for it to register should slow me down sufficiently.
-
@onyx Yeah, I generally don't like it either.
-
@onyx If you typo so often you need that shortcut, why the fuck are you using a CLI with no undo option where you could delete all your important files with a 1-character typo.

@blakeyrat I read what I wrote before running

It's not better in Windows 7, TBH. If I type "winamp" in the Start menu search field, the default result is not the "Winamp" shortcut, but the "Uninstall Winamp" one. Pretty fun when you press Enter without looking at the screen.
I know determining search results relevance isn't always easy, but I don't understand how a string that's exactly identical can be rated below something else.
-
@zerosquare At least the wanted result is still on the list, even if Windows determines the relevance in a different way you or I would. I'm OK with that. On W10 it tends to completely disappear at times.
WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU BREAKING SHIT THAT USED TO WORK?
-
@onyx "Will zsh help me?" "NYAE!"
How do you use this gibberish day in and day out and never look at the screen and go "what the fuck is this shit?" That is the WTF bite.

My biggest gripe about C# is that pubic classes don't compile.

@mott555
You never know what type of diseases those pubic classes are carryingETA the second joke I thought of: "your compiler is just practicing safer coding and not compiling with strange pubes"

Truth. It would be much better as a popunder that doesn't show in the taskbar so you don't know it's there if you didn't already know it would be there.

@topspin The South Carolina?

@blakeyrat He meant SCOTUS, but the point of the screenshot is how the top ribbon cuts off part of the viewport.
-
@topspin We call this, "scrolling."

@boomzilla said in WTF Bites:

There was no scroll bar to scroll with, and the window was full height. Next time I'm not cropping out white space.

zsh
is quite happy to help me insteadI have a love-hate relationship with zsh. Most of the time, its autocompletion is great; it's context-aware and filters the values appropriately (e.g., if you've typed
cd
, it will only offer directories, not files), and it even understands command options. But for some reason, it hates git. (Yeah, yeah; git-hater club is .) E.g., if I have a directory such that> ls -F bar/ baz/ foo
and I forget and expect zsh to autocomplete
> git add f<tab>
I can go make myself a cup of tea and read a couple of forum threads before it completes
foo
, during which time the shell is completely locked-up and immune to any user interaction. I can only guess that it is searching the whole flipping tree looking for matches, but it only (eventually) completes the one in the current directory.

How the (&-+_$&+#&! does this forum's emoji picker determine relevance? Sometimes I can type the entire canonical emoji name without it ever being offered as a suggestion

@hardwaregeek I have no troubles with zsh and git myself, I can check my config and see if I have anything special set up there tomorrow.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you type so long as it's continuous...

@zerosquare TRWTF is that the alternate workweek thing has a higher chance of happening. There are a lot of barriers to building high density housing around SF, including shadows:

If you read TFA () you'll see that the nominal issue at hand is that a quarter of the playground of the school next door will be in shadows for about 2 hours per day. I think it's really a shakedown to get the guy to sell to the city for cheap so they can put up "affordable housing."

It's not just you who thinks that; TFA says just that (although it's also an opinion). Other developers give in because they don't want to piss people off and jeopardize future projects. This guy doesn't care, as long as this project gets built, because it's the only property he owns or has any intention of ever developing; he just wants to get fair market value for this property. (Although one could quibble about whether it's actually FMV if nobody is willing to pay his asking price.)

Not when potential buyers know that they'll have to deal with the shadow people.

@boomzilla They say in Europe 200 miles is a long distance and in the US 200 years is a long time.
In SF a laundromat is historic.

@topspin No, according to TFA, the conclusion was that it has no historical significance. Based on the architecture, I'd guess the building is 70 – 80 years old. It's a nice, but not outstanding, example of Art Deco architecture. It would be nice if the facade could be preserved, but I'm sure it won't be, and it's not a great tragedy.

Hey AMD, it's nice that you already put the thermal paste on the bottom of your CPU coolers, but maybe you could warn about that on the box or even in the little instruction leaflet? So I don't put it on top of something else and smear it all over the table.
-
@pie_flavor I'm not even sure what those columns are supposed to mean. Mainly the one that you drew the red boxes in. (I'm assuming the first and second date columns are date sent and date opened, respectively.)

Assuming In order:
- Line number.
- Sender
- Date sent
- Date opened/read
- Date due/expires
- Subject
- Action
It is curious that the table headers were not included in the screenshot. Wouldn't it literally be one line up? :/
