Status: What the hell? I had 12 unread notifications according to the bell icon. I visit the Funny stuff thread to clear those (and mark it unread because yes), and now I have 19.
Am I missing something here? :/
You're missing -7 notifications

@weng said in The Official Status Thread:
@dkf Eh. A large percentage of car fires are "This engine is no longer operable" induced anyway, and replacing engines is rarely economical.
I think it's less "save the car" and more "save the stuff inside the car".
Plus, not sending 50L of unfiltered, burning petrol fumes into the immediate vicinity is a bonus.

@gąska Would calling it a future make it better? Maybe call it a promise? Not being able to resolve the success callback at times before it is used doesn't make that sound like it won't work, as long as the callback assignment can be accomplished atomically or can otherwise be guaranteed to happen-before the loader thread tries to use it.

Similar with France and ethanol testers

@hardwaregeek I challenge. I suggest that there are circumstances where you would want wasps, and in fact these particular wasps, in your car.
-
@gribnit I find it very difficult to imagine any such circumstance. I suppose it's conceivable that they might be less bad than some other intruder that they would attack and kill, but that seems more than a little unlikely.
-
@hardwaregeek Alright, I accept your thesis, and grudgingly award you a PhD in the field of Vespula-automotive interactions.
-
@gribnit I noticed I had got a nest of those wasps in my bedroom wall right before going for vacation. I hope they're doing good work around the garden while I'm away and not anything bad in the house.
Also, I wonder why the queen decided on going for what I assume is a tiny hole in the wood rather than the nice big attic ventilation duct nearby when picking a nest location.

I understood it as the worker thread checking if the global/shared variable with callback is not null, and either calling it or dropping result. Which is completely different from what future and promise are about.
-
@gąska Huh, I figured they'd just wait on it then, which would provide similar overall semantics. The scheme sounded similar enough to what a concurrency abstraction might wrap to be pretty normal.

@gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

I attest it appears accurate, based on my gathered intelligence information records. Beard is a little shorter than I estimated though...
-
@gąska If the UI thread fails to set the callback ever, it crashed, which the user saw. If the loader crashes, technically it won't wait at all. Sure, a complete abstraction would handle the error.

@weng Had 'em since age six. Glasses mean nothing about age.

@gribnit said in The Official Status Thread:

Only if they didn't do null check before calling callback.

@magus said in The Official Status Thread:
x*x + y*y + z*z < 202.5 + sqrt(3) && x*x + y*y + z*z > 202.5 - sqrt(3)
If you want a mean radius of 202.5, then you need to square the inner and outer radii:
x*x + y*y + z*z < pow(202.5 + sqrt(3), 2) && x*x + y*y + z*z > pow(202.5 - sqrt(3), 2)
As it is now, the thickness is
sqrt(202.5 + sqrt(3)) - sqrt(202.5 - sqrt(3)) == 0.12172

Status: Air conditioner not working. Uh oh.
Waited awhile, it's been going non-stop since yesterday, I'm hoping it's nothing more than issues caused by that.
Reset the breaker (I was told it wasn't popped. Checked myself. It was).
Works!

Went to buy a reel of special high-voltage cable and noticed it was on 12 week lead from my preferred supplier, then noticed it was on lead-times from every single distributor. Some bugger seems to have bought the entire world supply of it.
Maybe I can use RG/142B instead, it doesn't have to be very flexible.

Or maybe they only produce it on demand.

Either I am too stupid to figure this out or it's what I think it is
How do I get rid of the DESKTOP NOTIFICATIONS dialog without activating it. There is no X button either and It is being a PITA.
-
@stillwater there used to be one. Weird.
-
@gąska This feels like "you either give us permission or live with this dialog box long enough for you click it anyway. Looks like you have a choice but you really don't!"
-
@stillwater for now, you can block it with adblocker. There are no negative consequences of that, as far as I know.
-
@gąska Ok I do not know how relevant this is but I've opened the site in Incognito mode. Maybe that has something to do with this?
-
@stillwater doubt it - I always use it in incognito mode at work, and it always had close button. But it didn't save the "already dismisissed" cookie (because duh), so it appeared every time I logged in until I adblocked it.

TIL I've been old for 85.3% of my life.
Also, I remember when I was so excited that technology had advanced to the point where you didn't have to get big freaking frames that took up more space on your face than the lenses themselves. It saddens my soul to think that those are now "hipster"
