The Official Status Thread

Khajiit universally seem to use the word "sleek" instead of "sexy" or "attractive".
There's at least one clan in Warframe which uses “sleek” to mean “bug-ridden”, typically in relation to the game client or its network code.

We had a lot of clouds
Clouds where my son is, too, and my daughter couldn't get to a place were she had a view of the sky to the east. (She probably could have, if (I don't really want to admit my adult offspring didn't know this) she had known what part of the sky to look in, but by the time she said anything to me, she didn't care enough. She'd had a crappy day at work — yelled at by boss for not doing the task she was, in fact, doing, until she was interrupted in order to be yelled at — and all she felt like putting any effort into doing was eating dinner and getting drunk. :( )

totality chart is here.
Cool! 90.65% (non-)totality from my house. I'd have to go about 200 miles south to get totality, but that's still a lot closer to a total eclipse than I've ever been, and it would be totally worth taking a day off work to do that. OTOH, who knows where I'll be living almost two years from now.

Thought I'd mention this here, since my current status is musing about it.
Did you guys know that VS2015 is broken in such a way that cross-solution debugging does not work from tab-indented projects?

I don't believe you.

I believe you.

Status: I now have a crippling migraine on my first day back at work after being away for 2 weeks.

Lack of caffeine?
-
It's bizarre and makes no sense, but their support for tabs is completely broken. It will always add spaces randomly when you paste code or it autoformats, and cross-solution debugging just does nothing.
But I don't expect it'll stay broken for long.
-
I don't think so, I cut caffeine out a few years back because of that exact problem.
I think it might be due to the very bright lights in the office, or possibly a lack of alcohol.
-
Damn. Hope you don't have too long to go before you can get home and turn out the lights and hide away until it clears up. Those things are nasty, and bright lights never help

No. It is a very old thing*.

Missed your chance, pal.

Well, this is the same VS2015 that's incompatible with popular corporate proxy servers (and the official line is "patch the proxy server").
My corporate proxy does MITM on SSL connections. It does not support TLS1.2. For some bone headed reason when you open an HTTPS session with TLS1.2 it kills the connection instead of autonegotiating for something it does support.
VS2015 defaults to TLS1.2 for everything from license validation to nuget and does not retry if the connection is forcibly closed.
The VS2015 previews and betas did not do TLS1.2. They changed that without extensive testing in RTM.

I hate to break this to you, but despite being 10 years older than her I've never balanced a checkbook manually (or even in Excel) in my life.
I mean I get the general concept, but.

Did you shouldersurf the banking info and routing numbers? Because *shopping spree!*emphasized text

I was sitting across from her and my eyesight isn't that good.
-
eyesight isn't that good.
Clearly good enough to detect the patterns of checkbook balancing. If you can do that sufficiently, well, you can translate the movement of her hands into approximate glyphs representing what was written on the paper, and from there convert writing into text data, which you can scrape for account details.
Filed under: But it's highly unlikely she would be writing her account number several times in the book for this to actually work

You put the checks you wrote in the Credit column, and the checks you cashed in the Debit column, keep a running total, then at the end of the month check that the bank's statement corresponds with the running total at the end of the month. (Or within a day or two, considering how long it takes checks to clear.)
They still taught this shit in Civics class when I was in high school. I bet they don't now.

It seems to be at $17.50 at the game website.
Still a bit much for a game which I just don't get what you do in it. If I ever feel like programming in my game, I think I'll get something off Zachtronics.

I was balancing my checkbook by hand before it was cool.
Nope, that doesn't work. Maybe it's a Luddite thing.

You live with your cat in a cool old house in ~Seattle, where the lights are by definition nice and low all the time because of old wiring...
...and you're passing on the chance at helping her balance her books?

How would one go about testing this? I just set up a NodeBB/MongoDB test instance this weekend and could give it a run.

I posted instructions on how to do it with docker containers and redis else-thread, but if you skip the docker setup part and just install the plugin and give it the database connection information for a postgresql DB with a Discourse backup, it'll still work:

Well, onions usually weigh more than checkbooks, though a ton of each weighs the same…

They only weigh the same in a vacuum.

Status: I am become refactor, destroyer of copy-pasta.
Ahhhh....40+ classes got refactored to an existing sub-class and hundreds of lines of copy-pasta was zapped from the codebase.
OK, technically, it wasn't strictly a refactor, since it fixed a casting error that was causing problems, but damn...I don't smoke, but I feel like I need a cigarette.

Why would it be on any surface in a vacuum in the farthest and darkest realms of space? Why is it not simply free in space? What force is holding it to the surface?

This particular problem isn't really caused by the particular version of Word actually, it's because the merge document is being opened in Read-Only mode, which is the Reading view by default. sigh.
