Just think about it -- taking pictures, sound and video without having camera permission. Can it get any worse?
Ha ha can you imagine if there was only one major desktop OS and it had had no such permission system whatsoever for the last 35 years HA HA THAT WOULD BE SUCH A HORRIBLE WORLD.

If Android had proper support for video calls and up to 32 users group calls out of the box like iOS does
To be fair a 32-person video call would be fucking hell. Regardless of platform.

@levicki It does. You can find Google Talk, Google Hangouts, Google Allo, Google Duo, Jingle, and AT&T/MCI Video Phone support in the Killed by Google thread

Ironic, though, since (until several years ago) Android phones needed to brag about their quad core processors just to be able to smoothly scroll anything.

And micro-kernels. Just like they were 40 years ago.

No, that's "voting button", I think.
"Voto arriba"?

"Voto arriba"?
Is it supposed to be a command?
"votas positivamente"
-
@Tsaukpaetra If it's a command, and in the spirit of making up new words, I suggest either "votarribar" or "arribavotar".
"Votas positivamente" has the advantage of being awkwardly long. How about "positivotas"?

SO is not the only source of really bad programming help. I just found this bit of advice on unix.com, and from a moderator/forum staff person, no less:
Just try:
( cd /home/*some/path*/../datafile.txt; pwd )
It is a generic method that should work on most Unix platforms..
Um, that's going to fail badly on most platforms, unless
datafile.txt
is a horribly misnamed directory. The only "date" shown for the post is "old". It's the last post in the thread; nobody has ever seen fit to point out the error. (And before you look at me, I'm not a member of their forum, and.)

WTF of my day: Two CDU (the conservative, nominally christian party) politicians from Saxonia just proclaimed that it should be thinkable to reconciliate socialism with nationalism.
Good grief. Yes. Let's call it "Social nationalism".
... or maybe the other way around? Naw, not as catchy.

Is there any other kind?

@Tsaukpaetra Given a relative path, change the current directory to that path.
pwd
should then print the absolute path to that directory, without any..
components. (Do all of this in a new, temporary shell, so your current shell doesn't actually change its current directory.)However, attempting to change the current directory to a non-directory — presumably
datafile.txt
is a text file, not a directory — is generally considered a really dumb thing to do.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
I sincerely hope it is some stupid temporary fluke.
A fluke was originally a lucky stroke in billiards, and it still means a fortunate chance event. It is nonstandard to use the word to label an unfortunate chance event. There are lucky flukes, but no unlucky ones.

@boomzilla one of those is six layers deep if I'm reading that right...that's a heck of an

@topspin Good
, 10/10. I don't know what
CNumerics
is, but a 5-dimensional array of solvers is just asking for trouble. I hope this isn't a linked list, either.#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> struct blah { struct blah * next; int i; } a, b, c, d, e, f; int main() { a.i = 1; a.next = &b; b.i = 2; b.next = &c; c.i = 3; c.next = &d; d.i = 4; d.next = &e; e.i = 5; e.next = &f; f.i = 6; f.next = NULL; struct blah ****** wtf = (struct blah ******)&a; printf("%d %p\n", (*****wtf)->i, (*****wtf)->next); return 0; }

Yeah, as far as I understand it. It's from an open source CFD solver, which looks quite nice as far as I can tell, but this code made me say WTF.
There is definitely a lack of abstraction in there if you write a type like this. I mean, even if it was
double**
I'd probably prefer some kind of matrix class, and this is just an unstructured array of arrays of ... of things. I don't have to understand it to feel that it's wrong.

@aitap Holy shit, I'm not sure if that's intentionally evil or just unintentionally incompetent.

suddenly "free shipping over 35€" doesn't apply for a 41€ order anymore, so it's 8€ more.
And for anyone curious why shipping would cost 8€
They put the small box, which is about 4.5l in volume (plus the two cubes, making it less than 6l total) into a larger box of 13l with a ton of bubble wrap, then put that one into a huge box of 62l with even more bubble wrap. So over 90% by volume is bubble wrap.
Also, I‘m not sure if the larger black box counts as the “gift wrapping” I ordered.

if so shut up and take my money.

Meaning, you as much as breathe you see inverted colors.
i've yet to meet a TN that can do 144fps at 1ms response time....... but........ okay yeah that is true.....

I like how their explanation casually mentions that one of the dimensions of the array is "not in use now". The rest of it looks reasonable, but my inexperienced inner architect wants to suggest composition instead.

Status: just noticed that my mobile Chrome now has the tabs button in addition to the tab bar. Nifty.
Chrome updated and now it's permanently a floating window that gets persistently smaller if the keyboard shoves it.
What the shit.
