Status: I appear to have broken the syntax highlighter by nesting parentheses.
NOBODY WOULD EVER DO THAT IN C++, RIGHT GUYS?
-
Status: Interactive adverts on catch up TV. That's a new one (to me).
-
Status: gin tonic
-
Status: last 2 google searchs
php traits inheritance
cocktails with jaggermeister
all aboard the train!
-
Status: who was the one who wanted me to do Planeshift?
That video has tons of views, WTF.
-
Status: Updated my NAS firmware. Key new feature is that it can now run docker images, including something they label Discource.
-
Do eeeet!
-
Run!
-
Update!
Nothing happened. As expected.
And yes, I did start actually playing for a bit before remembering I should not finish the game, FOR SCIENCE!
Also, apparently the timer doesn't move when the window is minimized, but it does if it's just out of focus. Hence the discrepancy, I minimized it for a bit after taking the first screenshot.
Yes, this kind of excitement on a Sunday afternoon is something you won't get anywhere else folks!
-
I'll pass. I do wonder which models they offer it for - It's a synology, they range from 1-bay ARM devices to 15-bay rack-mounted multi-xeon systems. I could see actually supporting some users on my 2-core ATOM, but I doubt it runs with any semblance of usefulness below that.
And yes, it is discourse. They misspelled it in the update notes but got it right in the package center.

Status: My emulator got stuck...
^C Signal has been caught and dealt with: SIGINT How DARE you interrupt me!
Ummm...
^C Signal has been caught and dealt with: SIGINT How DARE you interrupt me!
Okay... Let's... Let's just
kill -9
you from another terminal, shall we?Signal has been caught and dealt with: SIGTERM MUST TERMINATE ALL HUMANS
... I think it's time to turn off my computer ...
-
Isn't kill -9 SIGKILL?
-
Isn't kill -9 SIGKILL?
Yes, but if there's a parent monitor process it can restart things. It's not usually a good idea to build quite that much robustness in, as it can keep you robustly in a failure state…
-
As long as the monitor process is only started up manually, that'd be fine.
-
Yes. I suspect @dkf got it, I didn't really poke around what else it might be running. SIGKILL did get through to it and killed it afterwards. Didn't paste because the punchline wouldn't work if I did.
-
One of the nice things about OSX's Terminal is that if I bring up the info panel (Cmd+i) then I can see the entire process tree beneath a particular session. It lets you see what is actually going on and what process to send a signal to quite easily. Don't need it usually, but sometimes it is very nice to have that sort of thing to hand.

Testing Windows 10.
Try to rename a directory. Select, press F2, write new name, enter. Error! "Cannot rename item: does not exist". Wha?
And the folder just disappeared. Not in the recycle bin, not moved to any nearby folder, it was just fucking deleted for literally no reason. Booted Linux to confirm.
I know it's beta software, but still,

For completeness' sake:
Term 1:

There. Now you even know what I was playing, where it is on my drive, and that the version I downloaded is misnamed for some reason but I'm too lazy to fix it.
-
OK, this is weirder. Checking from a xubuntu live CD: the folder is missing, but still taking up space.
i.e. the sum of the sizes of all the visible files (as reported by
du
and GUI tools) is smaller than the used space reported bydf
(and partition edit tools).I'm hoping a chkdsk on a sane Windows system will work, but the folder is probably lost...
Edit: folder recovered, testing of beta software terminated.

Status: in Italy for about 10 days for a conference + a couple personal days. Currently on a train from Rome to Florence. Passing a train that is going about 250 km/hr while you are also going 250 km/hr is kind of neat; it's basically like something appears next to you then disappears; you don't actually see it arrive or leave. On the downside: tunnels, which block views and
wifithe internet connection supplying wifi, and mess with my eardrums because of air pressure issues.(Edited to preempt pedanticness.)

Stop with the semi-colons.
-
See, that's why us here in the good ol' USA limit our train speeds to about 35 MPH-- it's not because our trains are creaky old pieces of shit running on unmaintained tracks past ugly landscapes and constantly blocked by 200-car trains hauling trash. It's so you can really appreciate when one train passes another.

From the source code:
Lemme guess, open source?
Does it also have magical cow powers?
EDIT: of course I'm about to run the SQL Installer... I'd actually rather have magical cow powers. SQL has the worst installer in history.
-
Lemme guess, open source?
Yep!
Does it also have magical cow powers?
It doesn't even have a real GUI.
-
Neither does apt-get with its magical cow powers.

That's why you have aptitude:
Unfortunately:
onyx@jarvis ~> aptitude --help | grep Cow This aptitude does not have Super Cow Powers.
Which is disappointing.

Semicolon's are awesome! Especially when you don't put a gratuitous dash in the middle of the word.

Status: I think this would improve Discourse. (source)

I'm rarely this awake and energetic in the morning.
Yay for getting work done! (Which will probably end in a few hours because of a meeting).

Strangely wishing I was still in Germany ...

I hate mondays.

Status: Thought I had an interview at 9 am this morning. Checked the confirmation email today and it said Monday the 19th of May. Since it will be several years before that's a valid date, I thought I should double check with the recruiter. Yup, it's tomorrow.
Also, just wrote this comment:
// If there are more than one, somebody has duplicated a GUID so I'm more worried about the heat death of the Universe
There's my snark for the day
-
Status: What's a spec?
-
I have a spec. It will be a different spec by the end of the day, and it's not written down anywhere, so if my boss and I both forget a part of it then that part is no longer part of the spec until the customer remembers it, but it is a spec
-
Well, I have the same, but I'm not as generous as you are I guess, because I refuse to call it that.
-
I am reliably informed by the PHBs that it is a spec and who am I to disagree?

-
Chill, that's just where it was hanging from.
-
Speck?

Indeed, it is a borrowed term. I didn't expect Dutch to pick it up though. Well, it makes sense, I guess, but since it's a word that gets used daily I just take it for granted and forget that fact.
And yes, Š = Sch / Št = St / Šp = Sp (Croatian => German)
