Then why were you so specific?
To set you off, I guess, Drax, good budy.
What scenario should I buy tiles from them???
There are no scenarios under which you should buy tile from them, unless you want to rewards a company that treats its employees badly.

Status: My son just came in to my office to tell me goodnight. He was wearing nothing but his Underoos and shoes.
"Goodnight naked boy."
-condescendingly- "I'm not naked, I am wearing underwear."
I tried telling the police that once, still got a drunk and disorderly.
<not really, but it makes the story better
-
So now the cops have stopped by, and we had to call a tow truck (thankfully). Now waiting for them to arrive.
-
Status: Tried to wake up the kids to look at the supermoon eclipse. They were not impressed. Fucking philistines.

Status: It works just as well as Discourse does!
-
It also appears to have Disco errors. That scares me.

Status: When Jeff pissed me off, I like to think of him talking to other people about things he has accomplished and imagine him saying, "I started a series of Q&A sites where people are incentivized to not answer questions". Then I smile.

Then I took a dump on the podium!!!

Status: About to enjoy my first night as a werewolf. Just waiting for the full moon.
SON OF A BITCH!

It's beautiful. Blood. Red.

Hotel room and food acquired. Tomorrow: finding out the damage.

How many threads could a Discourse thread if a Discourse could thread threads?
(A: 500, we assume)

Is now the appropriate time for me to reminisce about when my race team's crew chief's transmission let go in basically the middle of the antebellum south (and he's from the midwest)?
Because that totally happened one race weekend. The hauler was nearby, so they went over, pushed his car to an AAMCO and dumped it there and brought him to the track.
We all stayed an extra night in case his car would be ready the next day, but it wasn't. He ended up spending a week in that Super 8
Frankly, had it been me, I'd have cut my losses and run - for the trans rebuild and hotel costs, he could have bought a flight home and another car. But he loved that car.
-
I certainly hope I don't end up here that long. My uncle won't be staying long either way - he has to get to his job asa(reasonably)p.
Fortunately, repair costs are also his problem.

supermoon eclipse. They were not impressed.
To be honest, it really wasn't all that impressive here. The timing didn't help. It was already total by the time the moon was above the horizon, so it was too dim to be easily seen in the bright twilight. Totality was almost over before it was dark enough to really see it clearly, which wasn't really all that well, given I was stuck in an area of bright city lights. I expect people farther east had a better time of it.
-
Status: pissed that I had no idea there was a lunar eclipse last night. I need a good source for that kind of info...
-
Status: It's not normal to be that happy on a Monday morning. Go away.
-
To be honest, it really wasn't all that impressive here.
It was even less impressive here. We had thick fog…
-
Status: isn't the point of bittorrent to make the download faster? On my machine, not only is it inevitably slower, but it fucks up my outgoing bandwidth at the same time.
I actually have an answer and a solution to this since I've run into it myself.
However, this is not coding help and you did not explicitly ask for any help, so fuck you.
-
Status: First day back at work after 1 week off training, then another week off on holiday.
So many emails to catch up on, and then gotta actually do some work. FML.
The holiday was nice, but I'm so tired.
-
...Can't resist!...
But would Discourse thread threads if Discourse could thread threads?
-
Try "the internet"...

-
Status: my flatmates decided to adopt another kitten. Then they felt sad about her sister so they adopted her too. Now we have 5 cats (3 kittens and 2 adults).
I mean, I'm a cat person, but that's a bit too much even for me.
-
Status: had to increase the connection limit on Asterisk's internal http server. My application, written in C++, no, wait, worse, Qt with everything being a QObject, is too fast for Asterisk, written in pure C. I close all connections before opening new ones but the poor thing just can't handle it.
Obvious solution: I should suggest rewriting Asterisk in EFL so it can outperform it.
-

WTF is Asterisk doing? (I hope it isn't something stupid like reparsing its configuration files from scratch each call.)
-
Shouldn't, never issued a reload command to it, and I don't know of any way to do that other than restarting it or issuing the reload command in its CLI. It should not do that automatically.
To be fair, I'm opening and closing a large number of connections sequentially here because there's no good way to bundle them... maybe I should move this specific case from executing using the web API to the old telnet interface. Or just step around my whole pipeline and code this one specific case separately...
-

OK, so not the file IO. It's read the config into memory, but reparses it each time?I'm just trying to figure out what would make it so slow. C's main weakness is that it has poor string performance by default. Or rather it's string performance is fine on an operation-by-operation level, starting from the assumptions that they start from, but chaining the operations together tends to miserably inefficient. The C++ standard strings are much better.
Other things that can slay performance are stuff like dtrace probes. They hurt performance a lot, especially if the trace probes are actually enabled. Now, I'm not saying that they're responsible; they're just an example of the kind of thing that could be built in (for monitorability raisins) and which can have a big impact.

It does serve some content after I send it the logoff command, but it's like 2 lines of text that never change,
Specifically, it serves this:
Response: Goodbye Message: Thanks for all the fish.
(plus HTTP headers, of course)
I have no way to manually close the connection that
QNetworkAccessManager
opens, so I'm buttuming it's handled internally, though I doubt that would even help.Other than that... all I'm doing is messing with its internal database, which is always in-memory and gets backed up to a SQLite database when a value changes. I am waiting for a confirmation that the operation completed before disconnecting so that doesn't sound like something that should matter either, though you never know...
-
Hmm, the database “connection” would be expensive if it was being opened for each time you connected, even if you weren't actually changing anything. That would be Doing It Wrong. (This is because doing anything with the DB pretty much involves IO, and pretty much has to as it needs to do things like checking if the DB is still there in the first place.) DB connections should be long-lived entities.
I'm reaching for straws here.
-
Honestly, I have no idea how it's handled, never delved into those parts of Asterisk source code. I mean, I'd expect it to either being finished before it responds to the API requests, or at least done asynchronously in a different thread, but...
Also, fun fact: Attempting to delete an non-existent entry returns success. And I don't mean a truthful value, I mean the same string that gets returned on a proper delete...

Well, no entry of that name exists either way, then.
-
I'd still like to know. Discoursistently,
deltree
(don't ask...) returns the number of affected entries, or a message saying there are no entries that match the query.

To be honest, it really wasn't all that impressive here.
We had a lot of clouds, but I saw it shortly after it started, then when it was a bit past half way. Then clouds and it was already past my bedtime.

Status: My first day back at work after 2 weeks off, all of the websites stopped working at 11am. Turns out all of the certificates expired! I just spent the last hour importing certificates and configuring IIS.

Status: Internet just went... weird. Half the sites I try won't load. Some in Europe, some in US. IRC won't connect to European servers. DNS resolution is fine,
traceroute
shows it gets to US at times as well, but just stops at random...Thank fuck WTDWTF still works at least.

I do too, I go into the settings of the patcher utility and turn bittorrent off.

Meh. Arguably correct. The item doesn't exist, it's deleted. Success.

Status.... frickkin hell!
i've currently got a total of eight hours this week that isn't meetings for some project or another!
better make sure my phone is fully charged for most of these...
-
Early warning: There's a total solar eclipse in August 2017

-
my phone is fully charged for most of these
Won't work ... Discourse can drain it faster
-
The entire US will see a partial eclipse at least, but totality chart is here.
I could go to my university to see it /o/

but can it burn through this things entire charge in less than 8 hours?

(for comparison under normal usage it takes about a week of charging my phone exclusively off one of those bricks to drain the brick completely)

That doesn't fit in my pocketsiesss

I've already got that shit scheduled.
