@izzion a little stability wobble, of magnitude ~1/ (warranty - t), at some times t prior to warranty, helps with customer engagement.

I mean, I get it, you don't want a server that's been separated from the network for two months to come and suddenly say "what, these things you don't have because they were deleted? Have them back!" but that's what transactional logging and historical thombstoning.... Wait, Active Directory doesn't use a sane database model, does it?
I'll bet it doesn't keep anything but the latest version of an abject and what revision number it is, doesn't it?

But Chrome wouldn't know anything about that. Well, probably. It'd be comparatively difficult to discover. (Also, I know for sure that Chrome gets a bit confused about different services running locally; there are definitely limits to what it detects.)
-
When people give their "pronouns", why do they conjugate them? "he/him/his" - just "he" seems sufficient. I've never seen anyone (not being satirical) mix different grammatical genders.
-
@error I think it's what happens when vanilla people try to fit their pronouns onto the template used by Xe/Xem/Xyrs persons (and of course there's a fandom wiki for that ).
-
I'd bet no-one actually knows why, it's just one of those things.
The subject/object pair is more common than the longer versions though - e.g. he/him, she/her.@error said in The Official Status Thread:

She/they and he/they are occasionally used by non-binary people.

Car battery is dead. Scheduled an appointment with the dealership, drove a half hour to the dealership, waited a half hour in line at the dealership...

I was going to joke "Costco has it", then I googled.
Unlike most cars, this battery is not a very simple thing to change or install. It is buried in the trunk, not under the hood, and there are many items in the way of getting the work done.

But what he was talking about would be more like "she/their" or "they/her".
And as much as I can accept that you name/dress/feel whatever you want, I'm not going to remember that you're using female singular for subject pronouns, male singular for object pronouns, and plural for possessive pronouns. Heck, chances are I can't even remember your name, anyway.

I didn't claim it made grammatical sense, but that's how it's used for people who have mixed pronouns.

Does that have a use case, is it a middle-ground or something? I kinda suspect it's fuckery for the sake of fuckery, but can't quite tell.

undergoing a trivial transformation.
It is indeed trivial, on the surface, because (thankfully) the original dev used boilerplate code that doesn't actually care if the column type is indeed nvarchar, so long as it's a GUID, and since that hasn't been violated (yet), it's a quick and easy 500 line SQL alteration sequence.
Edit: I lied, apparently it's 1881 lines.

As of yesterday, there had been no status updates at all since 25 July, and even that didn't really provide any new info, just detail of "in transit to next facility" with the status summary unchanged. Today, it showed up with no prior warning. They've back-filled history since Wednesday, but it wasn't there when I checked yesterday (Thursday). It took from 21 July to 4 August (2 weeks) to get from Washington, DC, to TX. That's about 1350 miles (2170 km). The Pony Express covered 1900 miles (3050 km) in only 10 days, on horseback, over unpaved trails. I'm glad it finally arrived, but USPS?

If you continue to pursue delivery information, you are going to destroy reality.

You never bought a grappling hook? This would be the perfect time to have one. Probably Google assumed you owned one. Y'know, for reasons. Those reasons being all the reasons it seems like you would own a grappling hook.

Status: Unfortunately, even if you have more than one core (and thus Visual Studio will launch a cl.exe per core), you still need the memory to run it. This tends to increase needs as more things get compiled:
And soon enough, the pagefile starts getting filled:

I wonder if I gave it those extra 28 Gb that compiles wouldn't take 6 hours...

Status Yesterday I bought a cheap Linksys router to serve as switch/access point in the upstairs of my new place. I finally got it set into bridge mode, after about 5 factory resets. Turns out doing things in the wrong order causes it to just stop connecting to anything until you factory reset it.
But the is the security settings--by default, it comes with both 5GHz and 2.4GHz radios on. Only one has a password (the 2.4GHz one). When you visit the password page of the web admin interface, it prompts you to put in a 5GHz password. But if you do and you don't change the 2.4GHz one and try to save it, you get the nice "You haven't made any changes" banner. If you do change the 2.4GHz one as well, it saves both of them normally. And note--this is without regard to whether the 2.4GHz radio is even on. In my case, I'm disabling the 2.4GHz one because it will basically just serve one room and the radio environment is already noisy enough. Most of the devices that will be on it will be wired in.

For this purpose, the last thing I want is another cloud app. Because then I'd have to figure out how to connect it to the internet, when it's going to sit behind the ISP's gateway box. I'd have to have somehow put the ISP box into bridge mode (something I don't have direct access to do) and then later pulled it out of bridge mode. Nope. Not interested.
Plus, crappy cloud apps are crappy.
