I get your point. And if -text does what it seems to be doing from those docs, that should handle the diff issue.
Well thanks for looking into it, but I need a butter guarantee than an italicized "should" before I commit this to my work repo.

What's to stop you, other than laziness, from making a simple test repo with two files, and trying it out on that?

This shit ain't my job.

Ah, so, translated from your language to English, "nothing".

Want.

Did anybody already asked what Google or Facebook do? Or is Jeff going to reinvent the square wheel and call it round because it is a wheel just like Google has?

Status: Read the second post today made by an author of something we mentioned. What is this madness?
Unfortunately, no worthy material...

status: waiting at a conference hotel for the rest of the research group. It's the annual two-day retreat where people still think the important decisions are made. No wonder the easter bunny is doing so well.
At least the dinner looks promising. But they have not left room in the programme to actually do the stuff that this place is famous for.

Status: spent a total of 8 hours trying to figure out how to display progress of a long-running task in WebForms.
So far, the best idea I found is to inject an
iframe
, then after each stepResponse.Write
a new<script>
element which updates the main site viawindow.parent
function call.Fuck that, they're getting a spinner and that's it.
-
Most fancy WebForms solutions usually come down to completely avoiding all WebForms pipelines and just doing a raw jQuery ajax <-> ASHX handler.

Status: My Fujitsu-Siemens monitor at works has the weirdest easteregg.
Opening the brightness setting and not touching any buttons for a few seconds makes the brightness go all the way down/up to 0/100 and back up/down.
Same thing can be done with the contrast.

Wow Discourse is exceptionally slow and shitty today, isn't it. I like how it takes 7 seconds to open my notifications, it gives me a chance to reflect on my life.

Why would I go out of my way to use something I hate? I went through enough effort to determine that what I want to do is difficult because Git was designed by a fucking idiot (if this is Linus' software architecture skills in action, it explains a lot about Linux, doesn't it?) If it shows up in Jira and I get points for fixing it, I'll do it. Until then, people are just occasionally going to find wrong line-endings. Tough shit.
It's bad enough I have to use it to get my job done.

You don't have to use a form for everything, just because it's named "WebForms". Write a .ashx handler that returns the progress, and call it from AJAX on the front-end.

^- yeah that.
Keep in mind that when you're using something like WebForms, you can use all lower-level frameworks it's built on as well. (Generally; unless it's WebAPI2 where everything is sealed because dicks made that.) Like, in this case, ASHX handlers.

What makes you think that's an easter egg? That sounds like a nice feature to me: have the monitor just SHOW you the brightness and you stop it when it looks correct. It's like the guy asking "hey stop me when you have enough pepper on your salad".
-
Status: Why is requesting an SSL certificate for internal servers such a pain?!
-
If you press OK during that it exits with the brightness it originally had - not whatever value it's currently at.

Oh. Well then I don't get the point.

Why would I go out of my way to use something I hate?
Because the few minutes it would take to set up a two-item repo, one item being a text file, and the other item being a binary, and then test that setting, would let you know if you could use the feature and not worry about it any more.
But I get it, you would rather be able to complain about Linux and suffer with the extra work hunting down settings in random text files for the entire rest of your time at this job. You'll show...somebody, I guess?

You know what's better than the setting making sense in the first place?
Having 50,000 people having to all independently test it because your software design and documentation is complete shit.
THAT IS OPEN SOURCE EFFICIENCY AT WORK!

I'm not going to do stuff I'm not assigned to do with a system I don't understand but 30 other people rely on daily.
The WTF would be if I did otherwise.

I think it would be hilarious if you did try it out in the live codebase after I repeatedly said "test repo".

Right, but AIUI if I fire a background thread during one request, then keep getting other requests to a different handler, then I have nothing that can be shared between the two to stuff the progress data in, other than the database? Or is there some way I'm missing?
-
You have access to the user's Session in the ASHX. There's probably other ways to do it, but that'd be the easiest.

Wondering if the Belgium people who post here know anything about that bit of their own history, the book makes the claim that it's not taught in Belgium schools?
It was not taught in my school. I do know about that bit of history though.

Status: Dealing with a client that wants to send screenshots for errors. That's nice, except:
- He's on Windows 7, but still just uses Print Screen instead of the snipping tool
- He has two screens
- He puts his screenshots in a Word doc and sends that
- He sometimes just re-uses an existing Word doc for new screenshots without getting rid of the existing ones
Also status: I have the DuckTales theme stuck in my head now.

Status: I went to get a bottle of water from the fridge and got stung on the ass by a yellow jacket.
Yes, I was wearing pants at the time. NFC how that happened.
-
Hate those things. Didn't know they were awake already.

-
Hate those things.
Agreed.
Didn't know they were awake already.
I didn't either, until I felt something crawling up the inside of my jeans.
In the interests of full disclosure, I was wearing jeans when I got stung but was no longer wearing said jeans ~.5 seconds after being stung. This is yet another reason why I cannot work in an office.
-
i have a client that does the same. except sometimes uses excel to paste her screenshots.
it's annoying, but way better than the usual mail:
"hey, this doesn't work. fix it ASAP"
without telling you what it is
-
The pose is perfect.
Where I grew up, the things were all over. I learned to fear them young, and still got stung occasionally. They're evil. My sister once got one under her eyelid, and several caught in her hair.
-
My sister once got one under her eyelid
OUCH.
I got stung on the back of the knee once - that hurt a bit. I'd imagine getting it on your eyelid is horrid.
-
this things?
[spoiler]
[/spoiler]those things don't sting. they bite. i saw a group of those damned things clear a piece of meat to the bones.

Status: Fuck you pgAdmin!
Just spent half an hour looking for a bug in my code. Turns out, there was no bug in the code - the view in the DB was missing some columns.
So, turns out, if you open source of the view in the editor, make modifications, run the query and then close the editor the damned thing doesn't remember the new query unless you manually refresh the schema!
So when I opened it a second time to make another modification it actually gave me the old query again. Meaning that the columns I added were gone since I recreated the view without them.
Sigh.

little farther down from where the one box cuts off:
@wikipedia said:
All females are capable of stinging.
-
They do both. The females eat a lot of meat during the summer so they can lay eggs, which is why they're always buzzing around barbecues, but they definitely sting too.
-
ugh, more reasons to avoid them.
