Nope. None spare anyway.

I woke up 3.5 hours early today.
This will be a *fun* day.

Status: taking an interest in meteorology. I want to find some kind of a map that would show me why in the hell is there a constant southern wind in my biking route. It's like going uphill the whole way. And that's too much of that hard work before I even had my coffee.
-
I woke up 3.5 hours early today.
Strangely enough, the same happened to me as well - woke up around 3am but at least managed to go back to sleep two hours later. Current status: waiting for the caffeine to start having an effect.
-
Status: fixing another laptop that won't start. An HP Pavillion, the problem seems to be the power button. It has some funky capacitive buttons that you can use as alternate power button (launches an embedded DVD-player thing instead of the main OS) and everything works fine from there. However both the internal switch AND the cable connecting it to the motherboard seem to work perfectly when I check them with my multimeter. TECHNOLOGY, WHY DO YOU MOCK ME LIKE THIS?
Also I discovered that service manuals make things so much easier than just poking around randomly... until they start differing from the actual device for some mysterious reason.
5-hours-later-update: I WAS PLUGGING THE RIBBON CABLE BACKWARDS.
-
Current status: considering more coffee.
-
Status: 110% awake and motivated. But who knows how long that will last ...
-
Status: Pestering against our rule checker for C code which forbids using the ternary operator.
Replacingconst int num_items_static_assert[(sizeof(some_array) / sizeof(*some_array) == EXPECTED_ARRAY_SIZE) ? 1 : -1];
with the much more readable since there is no ternary operator
const int num_items_static_assert[1 - 2 * (sizeof(some_array) / sizeof(*some_array) == EXPECTED_ARRAY_SIZE)];

Status: Looking for a simple CLI Squid log analyser that doesn't rely on perl.
Looks like I'll be writing my own.

Up for a 7am phone interview with someone one the east coast.
-
Two weeks ago. Me: "We have this stupid way to do this and this more complicated but ultimately smarter way..."
Customer: "Just do it the stupid way, whatever, it's simpler"
Today, stupid feature is finally completed and in production.
Customer reaction: "This is stupid, it's not what I wanted at all!"
Next task: refactor the stupid feature into the smart feature it should have been all along...

Status: Trying to merge a branch into a trunk. Lots of WTFs going on. I have files in my branch that are not in the trunk. Trunk logs claim the file never existed, branch logs only show the file coming from the trunk and never being modified in the branch. Merge is totally broken and shows me conflicts in files that are 100% identical between branch and trunk.
Also facing imminent brain explosion due to the layout of this particular repo. I'm guessing whoever set it up has no idea what trunk/tags/branches are really for and just kind of spit stuff out wherever. Trunk seems to be a collection of different projects each with release tags and their own trunks only not called trunk, my branch is the only branch, and TortoiseSVN can't even open tags. It locks up every time.
Only one word can sum up my current feelings: B*****m.
(And to stave off any git vs SVN nonsense, this is the first time I've ever had such difficulties with SVN.)

Won't be the last!
-
I'm wondering if someone has been modifying the repo files directly, instead of using an SVN client. It's really B*****med up. I've never seen anything like this before.

Status: So many things to clean up after others poorly fixed them during my vacation. Don't think I'm going to get anything else done today.
-
Works just fine for me~
-
-
OMG, finally figured out it. I branched the wrong tag from the trunk.
-
I did mess with VPN connections so I thought my routes went wonky, but everything else works fine, and I have set it up so no range other than the subnet on VPN is using that connection... Weird shit.
Thought some asshole blocked me for a second there, but I realized I'd get an error from Discourse in that case.

Discourse inserting line breaks on a single-line comment is a barrier to reading.

I think something is wrong with the regional internet. Had to do flushdns for a colleague in Bosnia.

FROM DatabaseName.dbo.BlahGood thing those middle 3 NULLs are commented out, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.
-
the last 3 lines of NULLs are actually all on one line, Discourse screws up the formatting and wraps it.
-
So half the nulls are commented out? Awesome.
-
This is in a view that has a UNION. They probably changed the returned fields in the first SELECT statement, then in the second SELECT, commented out the NULL list and added a new list.

There were DNS issues earlier with thedailywtf.com and what.thedailywtf.com.

@8.8.8.8, @8.8.4.4 and whatever squid at work (and work in general) was using were timing out. My home connection and hosting provider were fine however.Sorted itself out within about an hour though.
-
Early this morning, I could get here, but not the main site.

Cue Jeff jumping into the scene. "www.thedailywtf.com has been taken over by the Civilized Discourse Construction Kit, Inc.! Harrh, harrh, harrh!!!"?

Just have VS tell you. Oh Mott beat me to it.
Protip: problems like this just kind of evaporate if you stop using shitty-ass tools.

Status: Toaster caught on fire. Back to regular sandwiches for a while.
-
Close enough.
The rest of you fail for thinking that I didn't know how to quickly remove unused references, when it was simply to show a lengthy list where only 2 are used.
-
Who gives a shit? The compiler don't give a shit if you have 50,000 references there, as long as you have the ones you actually use. It'll produce the same code either way.

- Read post.

I didn't realize that this was the thread for giving a shit.

I can see what you said in that post you didn't post...

Drop down for a company with, say, 4 users:
Blank All User 1 User 2 User 3 User 4
Obviously, the

item should produce a free-text value from the company table.

I have oddly seen that around before... but I can't recall where.

It's fairly new, at least this version. I had the first version before, it's ok. This is the second bottle I've had of this. Easy to get here, since I live within 25 miles of three Stone locations.
