Status: finally told my boss I'm quitting because I feel that it's the best choice for my career. I felt pretty bad because it's a tiny company and I'm one of the main programmers and I knew it would be tough to find a replacement (particularly considering they don't pay much). He sounded pretty upset by the news which made me feel more bad. Now I'm feeling bad and also angry at him for making me feel bad because dammit I didn't do anything wrong! I have no moral obligation to stay there!

I don't see how 7am OTT can possibly count as early

@topspin
US Eastern, obviously. How could anyone presume any other time zone is more important?
-
@izzion There are other timezones?

Yes, there is also America/Montreal
But it's the same as America/New_York

@TimeBandit There's stuff south of the border?
-
@Mingan Yes.
Big stuff

You simply haven't experienced the right kind of warmth yet...

It's humidity that's the bugger. 30 degrees in England is miserable because it's so soggy here. 40 degrees in the Cape Flats is lovely because the humidity is about 0.

Considering you’re in Arizona, where the air burns you alive, I’m not sure you have.

Status: Handed in my tax filings. Let's see how much of that 1,700€ the software calculated I'm actually receiving (last year I even got 20€ more than calculated - so it's not as if our tax agency only deducts things).
-
Status: I should get my tax forms done, too. It's just some left-clicking and taking photos of a few receipts (there's even an app for that!). But I'm in the noncompulsory category and the sum I stand to receive is ±peanuts, so...

Down Mexico way?
That's where I fell in love.

I had to do mine a 2nd time. Because the idiots decided to reissue (correct) a 1099-DIV that caused me to have to amend both state and fed returns.

status: happy birthday to me
And the cake was today. In the middle of it, I remembered to go grab the card my grandmother got me, and thank Christ I did, because as I passed the candle lighter I could not help but notice the good-sized fire slowly consuming the box of Pop-Tarts next to it. The spirit of @Polygeekery wishing me happy birthday, I guess. Thankfully nothing was damaged except the table.

@pie_flavor
You're not nearly old enough to need an entire box of Pop-Tarts as your birthday candles yet

status: If SQL by string concatentation is bad, how bad is JS by string concatenation?
-
@pie_flavor About the same, yes? Different security implications usually, but all variations of the fault that leads to the Confused Agent security antipattern, where a system ends up carrying out instructions issued by more people than its creator intended.
I know I got the name wrong too, but I can't seem to get a search that gives me what its name is.

Status: I have now finished reading the entire System V ABI specification. Which means I'm about about 25% of the way towards understanding wtf is going on when a program gets loaded.
Seriously it doesn't explain itself very well.

I don't rememberAre you 12? 'I don't recall' is such a facile response.
I'm a little sympathetic towards her but only because I mixed up the days of the week and was slagged for it. I'm beginning to wonder if the comparison to Bender is more than a joke.

Status: letting the geek fly at a comic convention.
In my defense I got dragged here by the non nerd part of the household ... Why did I deserve this?

Status: just wrote my first ever PHP program.
The PocketMine workflow is really something else. Rather than your IDE building the plugin binary, you instead install the DevTools plugin, which loads plugins from source, and then run an in-game command to generate the plugin binary. I know PHP is but that comes pretty close.

@loopback0 Things I have not seen anyone complain about yet, but should, include that documentation comments are the official annotation system, closures don't have arity information, fields don't have types even though function parameters do, and
$this
has a dollar sign and uses arrows whileparent
does not and uses colons.
-
Status: Missing out on this great priority shipping deal
-
@pie_flavor said in The Official Status Thread:
$this
has a dollar sign and uses arrows whileparent
does not and uses colons.That's because "this" is a specific instance and is used like a variable, but the parent is just a stand-in for the parent class and so is used statically. Since subclasses don't have an actual parent instance.
Now, whether the arrow accessor is a WTF is another matter all together.

Status: well the never-ending Sunday appears to have progressed beyond 3 am. That's an hour of sleep I got to catch up on for free!
Oddly one of the analog clocks seems to already be at the right time, but there's no way anybody else changed it and I don't recall accidentally setting it an hour early. "VIII" does mean 8, right .?.

Status:
La-la-la, I'm having fun here. This is fun, right?

@Applied-Mediocrity reminds me of how during one RPG session, I randomly decided to skin a goblin (I had no skills that would help but I was very lucky with roll). DM wasn't amused. He ordered sanity rolls for the whole party.

Status: Finished the basic path through The Witness. As expected given its Myst-iness, there's no explanation for why you're stuck on an island covered in line puzzles and wiring, with only an unmoving sun and the occasional audio or video clip for companionship.

Status: Fucking happy I re-installed the OWO extension....

Status: Did a very cool thing yesterday with some people at the peak of a motorsport, unfortunately it required a lot of manual labour and I'm a desk-jockey.
Bruised knee-caps are a thing?! My arms are like noodles today too, maybe I should do some exercise occasionally....
