@error I wonder whether it's possible to find a project large enough (preferably in a language whose syntax check time doesn't exceed heat death of the universe) so that removing a definition used all over the place would have the warning counter suffer integer overflow. And whether it would crash the compiler, the IDE or both, or would just stop counting or go on its merry way.
2 billion might seem like a lot, but I think I once got almost 10k in mine somehow, with SonarLint
I bet it'd be easy with nested preprocessor macros.
Easy to ICE MSVC? Yes, probably.

There is. Trackpad and mouse have independant "scroll direction" settings.

Status: Spent an hour at the end of the day today trying to figure out why SNI.dll wasn't getting copied into the correct folder location on build, eventually hacked in a post-build task to make things work locally, but said post build task didn't work in the pipeline. Gave up on it, ran dungeons for a few hours to get ready for FFXIV raid night, went back to picking at it before raid... Fiddled with file copy tasks for ~45 minutes but couldn't find the right source file to copy out of... eventually found it's a problem with using NuGet 4.x, since Transitive requirements aren't the same before 5.0... upgraded NuGet in the pipeline and the build looks hopeful

Status Day 1 complete. Ugh. Video conferences suck.
In other news, my same mouse/keyboard (shared via KVM) act pretty differently between mac and windows. Mostly things like cursor speed/smoothness, etc. Which is obnoxious.
I wish there was an option to set the "native scrolling direction" differently for internal trackpad and external mouse. But of course, according to Apple, that's not possible "by design."
You should know by now that Apple knows what's best for you.

Are you logically moving the page or the scrollbar (the viewport onto the page)? Each is arguably right, but they go in opposite directionsโฆ

Made and account and let my daughter of 11 join a class meeting in 5 minutes ... The teacher seems to have the most trouble.
At the last in school day they got received a bunch of assignments and the mobile number of the teacher. They just have to keep the teacher in the loop of their progress.

I just had a brake overhaul. Pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and a few other minor things, for a total of about $2100. But this is a 3/4-ton pickup with heavy-duty parts so stuff is always expensive.

The best part of school was the 20 minutes of messing around whenever the teacher brought in the TV-on-a-trolley and had to work out the super complicated technology of inserting a VHS and pressing play

What the hell is SceneKit?
If that thing is touching the 100MB STL file I have lying around here, loading that and rendering it into a thumbnail should take less than 3 seconds, not 15 CPU minutes.

Fucking Death Stranding:
This delivery is fragile and urgent so deliver it as fast as possible! Also it's in the mountains which are made entirely of jagged rocks covered in slippery snow, so be careful. Also the mountains are haunted by invisible but deadly ghosts. Also the ghosts are drawn to loud noises and fast movements. Oh, and there are terrorists who will shoot you on sight, but you can't kill them or they'll cause a BT voidout (big explosion).
Now run! (But not too fast or you'll slip and die, and not too loud or the ghosts will eat you, and not too directly or the terrorists will shoot you.)

Scroll wheels drag around scrollbars and trackpad scrolls the screen. Convince me otherwise.

Exactly. If I'm reading correctly, this is not the case with Apple.
Edit: wait, I'm not reading you correctly. No, you're wrong.
-
@Tsaukpaetra On a touch screen it makes sense that an upward motion would push the content up, scrolling your view down. But on a trackpad that's not the case. Other trackpad actions, namely moving the mouse cursor, correspond with the direction the same way as moving the mouse does. Why should scrolling go the opposite way?
-
@hungrier said in The Official Status Thread:
Why should scrolling go the opposite way?
Read above: its one and only function is tied to the scrollbar for which it was named.
Tell me: should a down-arrow make a circular-based control spin clockwise?
Further discussion should be Jeffed to the salon.

No. The download and begin of install. Because often xcode will decide it doesn't want to do that for about 8 or 10 hours.
And the install did finish about 15m after posting that. And the 2nd install "do you want to install the rest of what you need (or quit and don't do anything)?" only took about 30m.
My project still compiles...

Exactly. If I'm reading correctly, this is not the case with Apple.
On macOS the default is that if you scroll the trackpad or mouse down the content scrolls down (the scrollbar goes up). There's a setting that reverses it if you want the direction your finger goes to match the scrollbar and not the content.
What you can't do is have them go opposite to each other because why would you want two devices that do the same job on the same device to work differently.
At least Apple even give you an easy option that doesn't require a registry setting to inverse the mouse scroll direction. For a normal user who isn't going to go messing in the registry (or even know about it) Windows doesn't give you the choice.

That's not a problem because on Windows the mouse scroll wheel works the way I want and Windows devices don't have a trackpad that's as good as the Macbook's so I don't care anyway.

Status Waiting for
Godota zoom meeting that may not happen. Because we nailed down most of the things yesterday, and the ostensible host is quite elderly and prone to forget. But it still might happen because he also might forget that we decided we didn't really need to meet. I'm going to give him 15 minutes. Which is what we ask the kids to give the faculty. And I'm a kid at heart.
