Would that be tied back to your name in a public fashion though?
A reputation is a reputation.
Look, that's not even the reason I turned down the job. It doesn't matter now. It's over and done with. Stop taunting me with it.

I am not taunting you about it. FFS, you are a delicate special lately.

Status: amazed the guacamole thread is still going. No, I'm not going in there to check why.

A certain SJW animal has said that racism against white people doesn't matter, so it flared back up.

Ah, that old chestnut. Carry on then, and godspeed.

If your need to perform action targets with your right hand lasts for more than 4 hours, you should see a doctor or stop taking those blue diamond shaped pills

Status: Wife works from home today. I just went upstairs and she is drinking a $75 bottle of wine at 3 in the afternoon.
I am not going to ask.
Yes, of course I poured myself a glass. Mighty tasty.

Too bad you don't have a career chip.

**Status:**strong text If your computer BSODs with VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR, everyone says "it's a driver problem", but that appears to be a lie. For some reason, going into the BIOS and setting the integrated GPU to have at least 128MB of RAM is reported by several people to resolve the issue. (I don't know if it works or not yet as I just found this out at lunch time. I will probably know in a day or two, though, because my computer crashes about once a day due to this.)

Me using Visual Studio to do .Net:
{type two characters, Intellisense auto completes, I hit tab to autocomplete, then see the argument list, type in my variables} There, my array search is done.
Me using PHP in whatever the fuck non-IDE is laying around like fucking VI or Textpad before PHP is shit:
{stares at screen} How the fuck do I check if a key exists in an array? Does Array have a built-in property? Is it isset? in array? Some dumb fucking thing like that...
{googles, reads}...
array_key_exists, right, so since it is called array first, and key second, the arguments arearray_key_exists($array, $key)
, right?
{type, code fails} fuck, of course not, PHP.Don't even get me started on the fucking PHP "find" type functions, all of which have different orders for "what you're looking for", and "what you're looking in", and "what to replace it with". Not to mention the inconsistent return types.

Status: Wife just came in to my office and I said something about needing a new office chair.
"Have you looked at Costco?"
"Yeah, I did not really like what they had."
"Staples or Office Max?"
"Meh. I did find one that I liked online."
http://www.needforseatusa.com/computer_gaming_chair_leader_orange
"Oh, that's pretty cool looking. Like a race car seat."
"Yeah, but it is almost $500."
"You spend your days sitting at a computer. A good chair is worth it."
I am going to take that as permission to spend $500 on an office chair. I should have recorded this conversation though...that bottle of wine she opened is really working its magic on her.
-
"You spend your days sitting at a computer. A good chair is worth it."
That's exactly correct. A bad chair will cost you lots in terms of lost productivity or outright pain. A good chair (which is best depends on the shape of your body; everyone's different) is worth spending on.
My usual problem with chairs is finding one with a high enough base, as my legs are quite long…

TR is spending $500 on a chair with a description that includes "All previous test seater agreed:..."

Changing the amount of integrated GPU memory isn't mutually-exclusive with driver problem.
-
Oh SNAP!
I'd be a little more humble in his place. There's something Apple has that Oculus doesn't have after 5 years of trying: a product you can buy in a store.
-
Changing the amount of integrated GPU memory isn't mutually-exclusive with driver problem.
Sure, but I've updated my drivers every time new ones came out, and it hasn't done anything yet to fix the problem, and it's been like a year and a half. If this doesn't solve the problem I'll probably throw the card out and buy a new one.
Speaking of which the old Radeon 5670 I had in my computer at work is having fan failure, so I looked at getting a replacement--unfortunately 750s and 750 tis are becoming hard to find, and this POS dell has a 290W PSU with no VGA power connectors, and pretty much every card these days claims to want a 400W PSU even when they only draw 60W.

Oculus Rift will come to PC, if Oculus ever actually releases something more than hype.

That's exactly correct. A bad chair will cost you lots in terms of lost productivity or outright pain.
One of my coworkers has been complaining about neck pain for a few months, and just had an MRI or something and says the doctor told her she has arthritis in her neck. So I told her to take a photo of the 20yo chair she's using with torn material on the arms, and send it to the controller and ask if it's OK for her to buy a new one that's got a high enough back she can use it as a headrest or to just YOLO and buy one herself.
If she doesn't do it soon I may do it for her (the first part of that; I'm not buying her a chair.)

Thanks, Windows Update. That's helpful.

Those are pretty awesome chairs. I've used one in person. I even made vroom-vroom sounds while sitting in it.

Status: Programming is hard.
On the bright side, I feel well enough to start poking at projects again, even if I'm not well enough to do much with them. Ah well.
-

I am going to order one at some point. Now I have permission, but I am also a cheapskate who doesn't want to spend $500 on a chair, even though I really want the chair.

Buy the chair. It's an investment in not hurting yourself.

STATUS Friday. I think I might actually do something today...

Right now I'm doing heavy OOP PHP in Symfony framework, using docstrings and a good IDE. The experience is pretty much like you described for VisualStudio. Intellisense everywhere, auto-complete, strongly typed warnings, etc.
I find it actually refreshing after the node.js wild west. I recently had to update my node.js project, and I was like "What you mean you have no idea what attributes this object will have? I have to look it up myself!? What barbarism is this!?"
Of course, underneath it all is the swamp of legacy deprecated function and idiotic interface decisions, as you mentioned.

Status: woke up to two inches of snow and still falling. Trekked to the station all done up in foul-weather gear, and got off the train at the other end to faint traces of slush and a drizzle of sleet. Felt I must look a right idiot getting into work with my snow-boots on, even though I did most definitely need them.
