    Restarted the DSL modem again. Everything works.

    Fuck off Duckhorse, my post was not empty!



  • You're implying that some of the words at the end of your post relate to the ones (that I read) at the start of your post?


  • BINNED

    Yes, that is usually how it works. You know, three act structure: breaking of shit, repairing of shit, shit getting fixed / thrown out the window (depending on what kind of ending is more dramatically satisfying).


  • Banned

    appears that mem usage spiked and quickly went back to normal we have 3.2GB of wiggle room at the moment (1.7GB on swap)



  • Status: (Almost) Found a bug in a framework's code after decompiling and sifting through several 100+ line methods. Thankfully, it is Java so it decompiles somewhat sanely.

    According to debug log entries, it is broken for no good reason, and according to the decompiled code it is not broken at all. Will contact the vendor tomorrow.



  • Great, now fix the bug where every goddamned page load on Windows Phone scrolls down to like pixel 478423482742847328472 and you have to scroll up for like an hour to find the content.

    Oh and BTW AFAICT this is a brand new bug as of today, GOOD JOB REGRESSION TESTING YOU IDIOTS.


  • I survived the hour long Uno hand

    From what I've worked with on those, unless you have a metric shit-ton(ne) of firewall rules, it should be able to handle 50-100Mbps of traffic if it's the CRS1xx series and 100-200Mbps if it's the CRS2xx series. Unless you're doing some sort of Layer 7 matching or something dumb (because even the CCR series sucks ass with Layer 7 matching)

    Well, OK, it's more the Layer 7 matcher is a whiny bitch and it's really easy to set things up wrong so that using a couple different Layer 7 matches winds up bringing your router to your knees. I guess you could say the Layer 7 matcher is MT's Disco-product

    Also, the original CRS125 units may have the 600MHz processor that can handle the 100-200Mbps of traffic in routing mode. For reasons


  • I survived the hour long Uno hand

    Status: Quite a bit annoyed that what was originally going to be 2 separate weeks of business travel, with a 2-week interval between them, is now 2 back to back weeks of business travel.

    I wrote some more

    I've seen that before, but will like anyway. :) It's apparently fairly well known among musicians. I once described it to someone as "P.D.Q. Bach meets John Cage ," and he knew immediately that I was talking about this, and said that was a good way to describe it.


  • Banned

    I think @neil may have a windows phone, can you have a look at this?

    @blakeyrat can you check if this happens on meta.discourse.org or try.discourse.org in case it is fixed in latest.

    AFAIK, there were some layer 7 rules, yes. I didn't configure it, nor it's my job to, so I'm going off second hand info.

  • This kind of thing--where the score itself is a part of the art of the piece--has been around for a very long time. George Crumb did this kind of thing in the 1970s. Other composers were doing it in Europe in the 1470s. Here's an example of a 15th century French love song.

    Replacing struct with class is almost certainly going to cause errors. But I said nothing about that.

    Oops. Somehow I read "You can pretty much grab any C++ codebase and replace class with struct, and it will continue function as it did before" as "You can pretty much grab any C++ codebase and interchange class and> struct, and it will continue function as it did before".

    Never heard that before but it does sound plausible. However I disagree with the assessment that rhyming slang doesn't also make sense, with the caveat that we're talking about an expression being coined by Brits.


  • Grade A Premium Asshole

    To add even more non-clarity to the issue, "Taking the Mick" was explained to me by a Kiwi who said that "micturation is an old-time POHM word." :-)



  • @Polygeekery said:

    What rhymes with "Limey bastards"? Hmmmm

    The only things that really rhyme with bastard are verbs - plastered and mastered, which more or less stymies any attempt to use them for rhyming slang for a noun. If you're ok with assonance, there's a couple more things.

    Grimy dashboard, has possibilities. However this isn't enough for rhyming slang: you need a word that bears no relation to the word in question except to rhyme, and then make that the final part of a short phrase that bears no relation to the word in question. Often it then gets shortened to the first, non-rhyming part, but not always.

    (This may sound overly complicated but in fact the point is to come up with something that on the face of it bears no relationship at all to the intended meaning. The purpose of rhyming slang being to stop the bottles from understanding what you were up to if they overheard your conversation.)

    To be honest I'm not aware of any rhyming slang of multi-word expressions, I'm not quite sure how to approach it.
