Status: Looking up a guide on how to do something in Linux, and becoming appalled that the top hit for the guide is talking about 350 MHz Pentium II PCs.

Oh, and to add another to the story...even if you disable the default password that allows access to all the things, some of the software updates bring it back. So the process for updating their crappy software has to include the final step of "check to see if it reintroduced a gigantic security hole".

No two Sage products have anything in common in terms of codebase or UI conventions, because their entire business plan is "find a competitor, buy them, rebrand their product to say Sage, pump out shitty updates until any original quality is buried in Sage WTFs and nobody is interested in buying the next version, repeat"

status: i just released another bot into the wild.... waiting for the bugs to be found.

Status: had a dream that I couldn't install a game on Steam because it was 1.2TB.

And it would take you until the heat death of the Universe to download it?

Setting up a dotPeek symbol server so I can debug Sage's product for them. Hopefully it will give me some idea what's wrong and I can fix it without hacking their DLLs or something

Having fun watching @Jaloopa troll the front page comments.

I'm surprised the guy hasn't figured it out yet. Unless he has and I'm being counter trolled

That's possible, but it doesn't smell like it.

Status: ‽
I'm in line at the post office to pick up a package that was going to be delivered to work, but after two failed delivery attempts (saturday and sunday because office closed) i get an email that it's going to be held at the post office for manual pickup due to delivery failures ( #1) i get to the counter provide address and tracking # and they can't find the package ( #2) While they are looking i get a text delivery notification for the package that it had been delivered at the office. ( 42 )
USPS, you do realize i wasted my lunch hour here, right?

Except that the default visibility for methods/data members in a class is private and in a struct is public.That doesn't matter if there is an explicit visibility declaration for all class/struct members.
But having stuff which was
private
by default suddenly becomepublic
won't cause a compile error. (That's not true going the other way though...)

@todo Rescale all reaction images to no larger than 300×300px

Status: Pretty sure I'm boned:
I click "open in git shell" and I briefly pick out a bunch of bright red text before the window closes. Gulp.
-
Oh man I hate that message with a passion.
It might as well read, "This Git client has been version 1.0 for years and still can't handle a third of the bullshit Git throws at it."
-
....WTF? I tried restarting Github:
-

Run it manually, I bet it's the error where Git's retarded .lockfile or whatever it's called didn't get deleted by a previous operation.

TIR I don't actually have git on this machine except for where GitHub's GUI installed it...

Git is Git. It installs the same copy as every other bullshit broken Git tool. The only difference is the Git Shell it installs runs in PowerShell and not Batch/CMD/whatever you call it.
-
Status: Just got that 'You cannot access this resource' error. What was I doing?
Nothing at all. The error just appeared.
-
Yeah, but what I mean is I go to a command line and type "git status" and it goes "lolwtf is git" back at me >.> I assume I just need to add it to my path but I dunno where the executable is, so that's what I'm tracking down now
ETA: Better idea, I found a shortcut in my Start Menu for "powershell with git enabled" which, sure, whatever, as long as it gets me a prompt and git I can make it work
ETA2: Sure, why not.
-
Yeah, but what I mean is I go to a command line
What "a" command line are you going to?
If you're going to the one GitHub installs, it should set up the paths and ssh keys (and all that broken bullshit Git requires to almost kind of run) for you.
It's called Git Shell, under GitHub, Inc in the Start menu. Also on my machine it put a desktop icon for it.
-
Just straight up win-R, cmd. I guess I should have been clicking on that shortcut GitHub installed this whole time. Silly me for assuming my usual workflow will work here, obviously I need to do things The Git Way.

Status: Removing sprintf_s calls for the fourth time in the past sixth months because they don't exist on Linux but my changes keep getting wiped out of the repository somehow!
-
Just straight up win-R, cmd.
You can set that up, it's just a huge pain in the ass. That's ONE thing GitHub's client actually does correctly for you.
-
If it had worked from inside the GitHub GUI, I'd probably be more happy with it.
Incidentally, GitHub for Windows started up just fine now that I've committed from the command line. So.... it just threw a hissy for no reason I guess.

Pretty much. Welcome to Git, King of Source Control!
EDIT: BTW be prepared for like a dozen people here to tell you all the various ways you are "doing it wrong" now. Because Git never has any problems like that for them! It MUST be the user's fault!
-
:) I thought you might sympathise.
Anyway I committed so I can go home now. I;ll face the deluge of Doing It Wrong when I'm comfortable .

Duh. You should be using Mercurial.

Status: Need some answers for a task I've been assigned (changing the layout of a web page for a client). PM who assigned the task to me is on the phone with the client in question, and the call doesn't seem like it'll end any time soon. Also, this task is "supposed" to be done by end of day or first thing tomorrow, and there's only 2 hours left in the work day for me.
EDIT: And for those who remember, it is the same PM from my earlier status posts.

Status: wondering why there's a string replacement bug in prod but it works fine in my local build...

Status: Just got the most massive zit ever. Fortunately, it s partially covered by my beard, but still...
You can say whatever you want, but I'm blaming DiscoJSON.

Status: looks like most of my computer will arrive before the PSU and video card. Oh well, I can still put together the tough stuff first.

Status: Had an extended chat with one of our lab scientists today about what he actually does when he does experiments, and some of it is full of . My favourite was probably the almost-new GC machine where the lab scientist has to write the values it generates and describes in its on-attached-computer application by hand in their lab notebook because the machine manufacturer wants around £40000-per-seat for software that will permit any kind of remote access, or even to just support fucking Print Screen. Just for a shitty GUI app that we don't really want in the first place (the scientist really wants to get the data into Excel, and those of us doing data management want to stash it as CSV-plus-proper-metadata). No idea what it would take to actually hack in and get that damn raw data out, but fuck those gouging bastards to hell and back with a rusty screwdriver. It's our data! (I wouldn't have been so upset if was an old instrument, but who in their right mind goes for non-open non-networked systems in the second decade of the 21st century?!)
I'm much calmer than I was.
There were also the old classics of keeping critical metadata as filenames and only backing things up on pen-drives, but we expected them. It's our job to clean this sewer up, and allow the lab scientist to focus more on their real job. ;)

Hmm, it means dealing with Jeff so… ibuprofen worthy?

No actually; it's been alright so far *crosses fingers*
Did we ever establish if paws have fingers or toes?

That is shitty. I would be willing to spend the time myself to see if it could be done as a matter of principle. Then pop the source up on GitHub. (Under a pseudonym of course.)

Do you have a test that you can run to get consistent data out on subsequent runs? Some kind of calibration, or very pure samples you could use? Because I imagine the biggest PITA in the whole process would be being unable to get consistent data on multiple runs. Makes making buttumptions a living hell.

Hmmmm, a "trial period" and Wireshark might take care of that.

Status: spent hald day chasing a bug thinking it was a external dependency problem. it was my boss who decided to make a change IN PRODUCTION which fixed one thing and broke four without even telling us or using THE BELGIUM SOURCE CONTROL. this is getting worse every day.

You're assuming sane protocols / transfer methods. I wouldn't be surprised if it was RS232.
Unless Wireshark can capture that? I never tried so...
