Status: Good progress on my current refactoring project. Trying to decide whether to optimise out a piece of code that potentially scans, and parses the contents of, the same directory tree (2 subdirs, ~20 files, 2kb total) 30k times.
C on linux.
Use inotify? At least it'll only trigger when something has actually changed.
Nah, there's no separation between parsing the files and applying their contents. So if I need to apply them 30k times, I need to read them 30k times too. And directory scanning is ... not fast.
Needless to say this stuff wasn't written for 30k times.

I watched it because I'm subscribed to the channel. Your point, please? Asking for a friend, of course.

No point really. Just a poke at the forum pendants.

The password cannot contain three or more characters from the users' account name, including first and last name.
I set up our policy to prohibit use of either the user's full firstname/lastname after a salesman proudly told me his password was 'firstname123'. I had to explain why that was bad and that I'd also have to change his password anyway now that I knew it.

Hi scott_m,
Thanks for your post!
Do you mean you can perform check-in from Source Control Explorer from Team Explorer manually?
If yes, I think this issue is not related with TFS, I think it is more related with C#.
Can you check if there is some variable doesn't fit to UInt32. can you use UInt64 instead.MSDN Community Support. Because we need a place for mouthbreathing idiots to pretend they're valuable to the society.

@Cursorkeys said in The Official Status Thread:
We'll lose real data as there is no way to differentiate.
Just get rid of the wrong results, it's not hard.
...I had similar dialog with my boss last month when he want to have UI to adjust certain kind of data, but do not want to add additional field because he think that adding new field will need more time. But the field is going to be needed anyway because that "data" will be destroyed on each EDI import, which happens daily. The user is going to be
sadannoyed when they see they need to amend the same field everyday just to make the form "appears correct".

@Maciejasjmj Well, they're just outsourced staffs. When you outsource services, you lose control to the level of service (except to preemptively end the contract and find another provider).

STATUS:
New intern is getting on my nerves.
He's the worst combination of arrogant and ignorant. He is just blindly copying googled commands into the linux shell, no idea what's going on. When you try to explain something, he interrupts. When you try to critique something he did, he's full of needless excuses. Instead of trying to learn something, he keeps blabbing about all the extra-curricular things he was in charge in school, like that's supposed to impress anyone.
I get the feeling he got used to being a hot shot in his sleepy school environment. He's now behind the curve and is not handling it well.
Also, he stinks. Put on some deodorant, kid.

Status: Last night I ran our first usability test for SockDrawer's new product! I'm sure Blakey will still complain though.
(It was a market research usability test, where we had the users attempt to use our competitor's products to see what we could learn before we did the design of our own)

@Yamikuronue That reminds me of a dumbassed anecdote!
Back in college, we had a class on HCI, design and usability. When I ran through it, we did a design project. When a friend ran through it, he was asked to do a comparative usability study.

@Weng Lucky. We were forced to all do the same experiment, comparing the same two websites, so that the teacher would have an easier time grading our coursework since he knew which site was more usable.
We included some dyslexic and autistic people in our sample group and got different results. We were careful to put "For neurotypical users, X was the more usable site" so we wouldn't be flunked.

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:
It's not uncommon to hear about people who tested at .25 or higher.
I think that's part of the problem. We're not catching all of those people because we'd need a lot more police officers on the road, which a lot of places can't afford to fund.
-
@Yamikuronue Ha. Grading was on the methodology, not the particular results.
Of course, the instructor was also brick dumb and an Apple Cultist so he lost points for not using the Current OSX. Which was released between the testing date and assignment due date.

Maybe you should degauss them, too. You can never be too safe.
If by "degauss"ing you mean using this tool here, then, definitely!
That's certainly a scientific-looking railgun.

No, it's a Gaussrifle. Rail guns use (who'd have thought) rails to accelerate the projectile (which is usually located on a sled in military rail guns). Gauss guns don't need rails, they're using coils instead. Slightly different principles, both use magnetic fields.

@Rhywden That reminds me, now that I have some Arduino experience I should see about building a toy coilgun capable of launching steel BBs.
