NodeBB has a handy feature where it can automatically generate a blank spreadsheet for you:
The compression ratio is amazing. They got it down to 0 bytes.

@error it just filters out pointless posts

An equivalent does not exist in the function handling password changes.
That's not the
I didn't say it was.
the is that it strips everything except alphanumeric and
$
out.No shit.
The other bit is a bonus .
At least if it stripped everything out when the user set the password too, then the result would still be stupid but the user would be able to log in. This way the user can set a password with other characters but never login using it and the system won't tell them why.I hope the next row isn't:
Password = String.ToUpper(Password);
I found that in a different application last year. I might have posted it here somewhere.

We could all then discuss WTFs other than the two of you.
The nice part about this sentence is that it can both mean:
a) We can discuss other topics which are a WTF or
b) we can discuss other people who are the WTF.And just to preempt the memes: It's not an XOR.Alright, fire away!

That's a lovely headcanon you have there. Mind if i clone it and steal the clone?
@HardwareGeek said in WTF Bites:
I assume that's a lie
Do I need to repeat my lecture on baseless assumptions?
No, i think we got it the first time, but if you want to use another post number I suppose a recap wouldn't kill us...... probably.

Then why the fuck did you?!?

i never ask that question of idiots or sages.

in my experience..... they don't have them on publicly available plans, but if they've been around for any length of time there's bound to be an unused and (half) forgotten room that some enterprising soul has converted to serve as a dungeon....

Do you want to start another argument now that this one’s finally over?!

Bioshock 2 crashes randomly on modern computers. It's not a specific hardware or configuration thing, it seems to happen to everyone.
Oh, but I know what you're thinking. Bioshock 2 was released in 2010. It's an old-ish game. Old PC games break on newer Windows releases, that's just a sad fact of life, right?
Except they released "Bioshock 2 Remastered" (same game but with better graphics and minor improvements) in 2016. When Windows 10 was already out. They improved the graphics but didn't fix the crashes. If anything it seems to crash more often.

I'm defending my bachelor's thesis this Saturday. For this, I've had to collect a shitload of pointless documents and drop them off at the dean's office. The most pointless of all was likely the declaration of the average grade from all four years.
It's 2020. We've got computers. We've got networks. All grades are already uploaded to the university systems because it's required that teachers register them in that system at the end of each course. Computers are amazingly good at aggregating numbers and doing simple math. You'd think it should be easy to make the system tell the average instead of asking every graduate to do it on their own?
And you'd be absolutely right! Because that's exactly what happens! I was told to go to the dean's office and ask them what my average grade is, to avoid any possibility of mismatch. And that's what I did - I went there, I asked what my average grade is, I put it on paper, signed it and gave it to them.
So what's the point of that declaration?

Being the most recently introduced course at the time, and being closer to the mainframe too I guess, the rooms allocated to our CS course were in a basement.
We affectionately called them the dungeons. (there was a lot of MUD playing too)

I suppose it could be your acknowledgement of that grade, so that you can't complain later that it was manipulated to prevent you from getting your diploma if you fail.

Huh. On a Saturday. What's this place where they make people do normal work stuff on Saturdays? Normally the weekends are the chance to actually get something done.

Not only making the student show up on a saturday (the professors probably don't care if their brain-on-a-stick gets weekends off), but also the staff.

We have a script that uses a canned ssh command for running commands on some target. It includes
-n
option, presumably to prevent ssh from asking for password or passphrase (in case something is incorrectly configured and the key does not work). Except that's not what the option does. It prevents the command from receiving standard input, but ssh will still happily ask for password on the controlling terminal if there is one—and will not ask for password anyway if there isn't.

It prevents the command from receiving standard input, but ssh will still happily ask for password on the controlling terminal if there is one—and will not ask for password anyway if there isn't.A problem we've run into with scripted ssh is that ssh will forward any data available on stdin to the remote process, even if the remote process isn't reading any input. This is a problem when dealing with code like this:
cat hostlist.txt | while read host do ssh $host somecommand done
Using the -n flag would prevent this, as would redirecting stdin.

Weekend college. Working every other weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 7AM to 8PM, has been my life for the past 4 years.
Edit: in addition to regular full-time job.

Of course, you'll get a failure if the key auth doesn't work, but then at least it won't block everything else.

Installation of NodeJS 12 brought along Chocolatey, Python 2.7 and VS build tools 2017 (because Python 3 and VS buildtools 2015 or 2019 wouldn't do).
Then I run npm and it tells me I need to update Node (not itself) to the latest because it requires Node versions 6 to 11.
