You want me to use a key? A belgium KEY? Hey idiot, we don't use KEYS when we're logging in anywhere else in the world. It's this belgium open source hardware brainworm infecting everyone! Microsoft doesn't use keys, and you know what? THEY belgium LIKE IT!
-
It runs on Linux hardware.
That explains it. How do you manage to get anything done without PowerShell or a GUI?
-
How do you even have security bugs in a text editor?
You make your text editor also become an IDE for assholes and idiots.
-
True story: I had to install some GUI libraries in order to run Dwarf Fortress in ncurses mode, so I have no idea if there's a GUI running on it.
-
Well it's definitely not a console. It pretends like it is but it's not. At least on the Windows build
-
There is no ncurses mode for Windows Dwarf Fortress. The default mode is software rendering, but there are a few hardware rendering modes. I use one of the hardware rendering modes so Steam can take screenshots easily.
There's also a third party plugin called Text Will Be Text that adds a hardware rendering mode that supports a view distance of more than 1 z-level and more than 256 non-NPC tiles. The default game supports custom NPC tiles, but I don't use any.
-
Whatever, it wasn't installed. Meaning, broken.
And you know what the common factor in all of this is? Debian. Or, more broadly: Lunix. Of course it was broken! It was written by beard-wielding psychopaths who actively hate stuff that works! Are you even surprised?!?
-
How many reboots (per computer) were required?
What's the average update per reboot on Windows these days? It's probably in double figures by now, isn't it?
-
Fighting with Salesforce..... so far it's winning.
Ugh. Salesfarce. Enough[1] said.
[1] by which I probably mean "too much".
-
it's better than SalesLogix.... which is what we had before....

Status: nearly had a heart attack. discovered that some sql missed a "where" condition, it was running since wednesday in production.
luckily it was used to generate denormalized tables for reports, so i managed to regenerate it from the transaction records.
this is a time bomb, any idea on how to make my boss understand that we can't ship code as soon as it compiles?
-
-
You could substitute "fucked" for "fine" in that sentence and it would actually end up making more sense.
So it's like when I say to my wife, "it's all fine, then", and she says "yes, it's fine..."
I wish I could talk in italics as well, sometimes...
-
EDIT: and re-reading this, I meant "per update session," i.e., when I tell it to "APPLY ALL THE UPDATES" that's what I expect to happen, so that when I reboot there are no more updates.
My favourite is when you select "Install Updates and Reboot...", and so it installs updates and reboots, and then immediately you get notified, 'oh, hey, there's some new updates here...'
-

short of having code fall flat on its face unrecoverably in production? probably not...

Status: Got a 500 error when successfully posting a PM
That probably means it just did a client-side demonstration of posting a PM, if you go back and double-check, it's still sitting there unposted...
-
My Ubuntu server has been asking for a reboot for a few months now, but I'm waiting for the next LTS in 2016.
Ubuntu is at least polite about it, it never pulls that "fuck you, I don't care what you're doing is important, I'm restarting right fucking now" shit.
-
You're really living on the edge, only rebooting every 2 years.
Of course, at your internet speeds a hacker would get frustrated before they got access, even if you opened everything completely up.
Maybe
$ apt-get update
genuinely takes 2 actual years to complete over Milwuakee PC?
-
That's why I have 12 days uptime on my Windows 8.1 computer and 144 days uptime on my Ubuntu 14.04 computer. The only reason the second number isn't higher is that my dad didn't know which circuit breaker was associated with his bathroom so he turned off the power to the whole house a few months ago.

Do the WHERE clause thing another 3 or 4 times, maybe?

Status: apparently Discourse no longer supports < audio>. Great job, remove one of the few features that worked fine.
-

I opened the PM chain in a new tab; the post was indeed successful
-

Windows is much better about that than it used to be; Windows 8 simply puts a little message on the login screen saying 'We'll restart within 24 hours for updates'.
-

And if you don't restart in that 24 hour window, it forceably reboots your machine with 15 minutes notice...
-
15 minutes notice
Better than nothing; that's easily enough time to save your work and close all your programs ;)
-
It's still fucking annoying.
It's my computer - I'll damn well reboot it when I decide.
-

You sure? I thought
<video>
doesn't work either once. It just turned out it won't accept the tags, but giving it a video file as an URL only worked.NOT on uploaded file though. But linking it from Dropbox worked
-
Shockingly, whenever I sit down in front of a computer, it's usually because I have some specific task that I want to achieve. That task is almost never "watch a percentage counter go all the way from 0% to 99%..."
-
Like I said, Win8 gives you 24 hours warning, so you can plan a reboot into your work ;)
-

Discourse can't automatically embed files which have been uploaded, because that would be ridiculous...
-
Like I said, Win8 gives you 24 hours warning, so you can plan a reboot into your work ;)
Or I can use Ubuntu instead and restart my computer when I fucking well decide to...
-

Especially if I'm asleep when it asks. I can always see my computer as it's on a different floor of my house than where I sleep.

Status: 2 brand new Samsung 850 SSDs, in RAID 0 on built-in AMD RAID controller. Volume not detected in Windows installer on various versions of the drivers. A Google or two suggests this is a known problem with AMD RAID, not just with these SSDs but others too.
Using the other RAID controller on the motherboard which is some Gigabyte thing which is waaaay slower to the point that I might as well not be using RAID, or even SSDs.
-

Like I said, it's fucking annoying, and I should be deciding when it reboots.
-
Never said it was perfect, just that's it's better than it used to be
-
But still worse than it used to be before that.
Windows 7 doesn't do that annoying shit.
-
I can always see my computer as it's on a different floor of my house than where I sleep.
X-ray vision?
-
Oh yeah it works!
Sometimes an image URL won't embed unless you use {img> tags. Yet you can't use (audio> or [video> tags. The definition of discoursistency.
-
And now for what I wanted to try before.
Pity the screen is so narrow.
-
This reminds me of TIM.

I liked Ben L before he learned the concept of sarcasm.
-
So it's like when I say to my wife, "it's all fine, then", and she says "yes, it's fine..."
You got it. And when they say, "You're fine", you might be about to be fucked. Change the tone of voice, and you might be the other type of fucked.
Women are creatures of nuance.

It doesn't onebox posts from non-public categories
-
Meta isn't public?
-
Meta is, One Post isn't ;)
-
Fixed.
-
The Onebox was fixed before you edited it out
-
I just saw it onebox before you edited it out.
Whatever you oneboxed, it was too fast.
-
And now when I try to edit my posts it deletes the content of the post?!
