Point 2 in the comment is something I never actually considered in these things...
And Point 3 misses the other possible solution:
8-5i
.
-
@BernieTheBernie nope, check your math.
(-5i)*(-5i) = -25

@topspin Fück.
E_MATH_OVERFLOW
.
But there is acomplex
solution to square root of 25?
Is there?
Is there ...?
-
@BernieTheBernie no, a quadratic has two roots. In this case both real. (5, -5)
x*x = -25
Would have two complex roots (5i, -5i).

@topspin said in The Official Status Thread:
a quadratic has two roots
Incisivi have one root,
canines have one root,
premolars have mostly one root, but sometimes 2,
molars have 2 or 3 roots.
Hence, a quadratic is either a premolar or a molar.

Status: Internet restored. Had a power glitch that made the lights flicker. My UPS switched between mains and battery several times. The modem/router is in a different room, not on a UPS, and even after the power was stable, it took ~15 minutes and multiple attempts to reconnect before it succeeded.

Yes. Never again!
-
@Tsaukpaetra I strongly suspect the problem was not my router, but upstream. Probably, even if it hadn't lost power, it would have lost connectivity to the outside world because the outside world (or at least a small but relevant part of it) was offline.
-
@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
but upstream
Those should have their own backup, because oftentimes the nodes are also supposed to be providing telephony and thus must not go down just because power fluctuated.
-
@Tsaukpaetra I'd think so, but it still took multiple attempts even after I intervened and manually rebooted the modem.

That's why my router (and switch) has a dedicated UPS!

Status: Becoming increasingly frustrated with Microsoft's boot loader.
Trying to add a Windows PE wim to a Windows installation flash drive (i.e. to launch a different PE environment than the default setup) and simply attempting to do so makes the drive unbootable.
Apparently, copying details from the default OSLoader entry is... not recommended.

Literally line-by-line identical boot entries, one works, the other does not. Even pointing both entries to the same
boot.wim
makes no difference!Miicroosoooffftttt!!!!

Additional power interruptions throughout the night. I learned that our home security system is not only useless (it was already installed when we moved in, but it's useless because we've never paid the alarm company for service) but also really annoying. Every time the power goes out (or comes back after having been out; I'm not entirely sure which, because the outages were so brief), it starts beeping. A steady beeping that I might be able to tune out and ignore? Of course not! An intermittent beep, at (seemingly; I didn't actually time it) irregular intervals. It doesn't beep when you expect it; it waits until you may be starting to doze off, then startles you awake with the next beep. Meaning you have to drag your butt out of your nice warm bed, walk over to the control panel and push some random button to tell it to — until the next time the power hiccups. By the time I get back into bed, I'm cold, and it takes 10–15 minutes for my hands and feet to get warm again. At which point, the power hiccups again, and the cycle begins anew.

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
beep
Yeah on mine I figured out the special code was
*4122*800*4112*46
, which.... lowers the volume. Slightly.Thinking of just disconnecting it, never did get the ATA device working to emulate the CNC station for reports, so even if nothing goes wrong every 19 days it panics and starts beeping because it couldn't report that nothing is happening.

A bruglar might try to prevent the beep by cutting its cables first. So have it raising the alarm when there is a connection failure between the sensor and the rest of the system.

@HardwareGeek: if it's useless anyways, why don't you turn it off completely?

Figured it out. Apparently you're supposed to create a (mostly useless)
{ramdiskoptions}
entry to tell it where\boot\boot.sdi
is. But only for non-default entries. BecauseI hate that this is almost making me want to see if mothafuckin'
grub
is more sane in this regard.

Mostly because I don't know how. Can't RTFM if I don't have a FM (and try to find one online, although if it continues being annoying in the middle of the night, I might ).

Mine is easy. Remove from Wall. Remove battery. Remove power.

I love the sound of chainsaws on an icy winter day. Being out in the cold, using one, not so much. My back hurts (from bending and lifting fallen branches). My knee hurts (from ???; I didn't do anything in particular to it). But (maybe) at least I'll be tired enough to fall asleep and stay asleep tonight.

work on mac instead of normal OS, because 'that looks more professional'
can't run some essential docker containers, except 100x slower with qemu
can't test the whole app locally
despite that, change some other container so that it only works on mac, because different file permissions
when confronted run away because some urgent meeting
the rest of the team spends hours to unfuck stuffmany such cases

Long ago ... A colleague had already used up all space of her writing desk, but needed another (paper files) folder (with sensitive medical data) opened up. She decided to put it on top of the trash bin next to her desk.
Then the cleaners came and - you guess it - removed the folder together with the contents of the trash...So, you are not so wrong with your idea.

@Gribnit That's easy. One must simply forget it right before the

It's a free-form text field!
Edit: And yes, if you type it wrong it just clears the entry and you have to do it all over again.
And colons are required for the time component.

-
@PleegWat Kind of.
For one thing, I think it's a good thing you need to explicitly choose between
Promise.all( .map() )
() andfor await( of )
.Having said that, I think I would be fine with there being a
mapAsync()
which processes elements in parallel or whatever order, and a.forEachAsync()
which processes them one at a time; as long as these semantics were well documented and developers were mindful of the difference when it matters.
