And work is where you bang your head?
Your work plays better music then mine does apparently.

I created https://www.reddit.com/r/thedailywtf while the site was down, thinking we should have a backup place. Then I realized I'm to lazy to deal with that.
Joke's on you! I don't even have a reddit login.

You don't bring your own music??

I've been meditating since 1996 and find that it gives multiple benefits across all aspects of my life. Meditation helps you get in touch with your spirit or the source of all things, whatever you believe that is. The source of all things is the source of love, and love is at the core of our company. Please join me to experience a group meditation together, based on a free guided meditation from Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey:
I love to see people who work with software have fuzzy brains and love psuedoscience, my favorite.

It's probably a Git repo

Lead SDET. That's Software Developer in Test for you people who live in areas not dominated by Microsoft terminology.

Your work plays music?
Could be a radio station. Or one of them backwater cable/satellite channels like Magic or Scuzz.
-
Your work plays music?
Mostly the song "I sit near sales or management people" on repeat.
Edit:
Which is why I do thisbring your own music

That's the usual load.
GPU seems to be in it's usual off state. CPU usage seems normal. I'm charging my phone over USB, but it can't be that, surely.

Whatever.
Point is, the useless kind of software developer who thinks you can automate all testing and never need to use a human being to do QA and if you listen to them you end up with Windows Vista.

The bold part is why I objected to your statement that "You can pretty much grab any C++ codebase and replace class with struct, and it will continue function as it did before.".
Replacing class with struct won't give you compilation errors. The other way around might very well do.
Replacing
struct
withclass
is almost certainly going to cause errors. But I said nothing about that.If I said "chicken eggs turn into chickens", would you object to that because chickens don't turn back into chicken eggs?

But...some part of chickens turns into eggs.

eggs turn into chickens
Except the ones that turn into eagles. Or turtles. Or echidnas. Or… you get the idea.

Did... Did blakey just take a dig at Windows Vista?
I need to go lie down for a minute...

Edited my original post to counter both of these objections, so now you both look silly.

Error: Too many Ls
Why do you keep quoting parts of my posts and altering them so they look dumb, then trying to claim that's what I wrote?
-
Because I see through your ninja stylings to see the Truth™…
Plus, as @Onyx says, the pencil.
Plus, no matter how many times I may correct her spellar, @accalia will never flag me for a spellar badge.

The pencil betrays you, young one.

Trick question! None of those is relevant.
Except that any of them could be relevant as tools for rendering simulation output...
-
And it means Top Gear's been cancelled.

That pipe has very high packet loss today.

EDIT: to be fair, moments after I posted that, they emailed me the shipping number. The shipping status is "data entry."

So someone was on a "do it again and we fire you" list (he claimed to have been put on one last may according to article) and there isn't someone ready to step in? That seems silly.

I wrote a little song when it came back up:
http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/the-offical-walruses-dont-do-ducks-thread/1000/37056?u=raceproukAnd of course the inline screws the song up…
Here, I wrote down some music scores for that:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31824040
Fuck me, that article's terrible. Take this bit:The presenter himself has remained silent, however last month he tweeted a post saying a "new presenter for Top Gear" was wanted.
"Applicant should be old, badly dressed and pedantic but capable of getting to work on time," he said.
The BBC are reporting that as if he knew he was going to be suspended.
He was taking the piss out of James May! Shortly before those tweets, he was tweeting about May being late!Also this:
Clarkson had used the word "slope" as an Asian man crossed a newly built bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand.
- The river was actually the River Kok.
- The deck of the bridge was sloped. Why? Because it was built by three feckless idiots!
Now, I'm not saying Clarkson is always in the clear, 'cause he ain't, not by a long way. But the fact-checking in that article leaves a lot to be desired…

Status: So apparently I can't ever sync this repo from this machine again. I have to drop to shell every damn time.

Git's a git.
Maybe that's why it's called 'git'…

[Jeremy Clarkson was suspended by the BBC]
And it means Top Gear's been cancelled.
Well it was going to happen sooner or later. He's made a career out of being objectionable to everyone in every possible way.
last May ... the BBC had told him he would be sacked if he made "one more offensive remark, anywhere, at any time".
The surprise is that it took most of a year.
-
Well it was going to happen sooner or later. He's made a career out of being objectionable to everyone in every possible way.
Yeah, and that is why people watch the show. If you take that away, you lose a lot of its appeal. People watch it because it is edgy. Because it has those, "You can't say that on television" moments. No one wants to tune in to Top Gear without that. Without that you have Top Gear USA, and that is utter shit.
-
Oh I know, and I agree. I found him most amusing. I'm just saying, he was bound to upset someone too much sooner or later.
-
Meh, people just need to calm the fuck down. He took the piss out of Americans also and it never bothered me. If someone says something offensive only in order to get laughs, that is fine. If he were actually calling people derogatory names because he was prejudiced, that is when you cross a line. The whole "Bridge Over River Kwai" joke was a double-entendre.
I just hate the whole PC movement. If you people don't like it, they can not watch. And perhaps the freaking editors need to get their fingers slammed in the door. They are the ones who did not edit it out, and the production staff wanted to leave all the objectionable content in.
I remember reading about lorry drivers refusing to deliver stuff to the BBC until he apologized for the joke about them murdering prostitutes. I just thought it was funny.
