resource for logging?
If you are .net then log4net is awesome. The documentation and examples (the ones I tried anyway) are all followable as well.

but I'm holding in a bathroom break
JOKE NUMBER 2 (literally)
bathroom break... Anyone know a good book or resource for logging?
I would have thought that knowledge would come naturally. Or without control, given enough vodka.

Status: Just realised what everyone was talking about regarding battery life on mobile with Discourse: it's draining more effectively than most of my games on this unit!
Filed under: Why am I surprised?
I once made the mistake of copy-pasting in a long bit of text into a Discourse post using my Surface 2 RT. Once I hit paste, the machine slowed to a crawl. After that, I was able to out-type the computer, it buffered all my keystrokes and my input appeared at a rate of about 0.5 characters per second. Eventually it caught up and finished, consuming a full 18% of my battery life in doing so. 18% battery to make a single post!

Coming soon at meta.d:
The state of battery performance on Windows & Android is... poor... But when we run this highly specialized for iOS benchmark on iOS, it only drains 7% battery, compared to the 35% on Android and 55% on Windows.
Closed: Nobody uses Windows anyway.
INB4: hrm, I left the "phone" of "Windows phone" out. But it looks funnier this way.... Belgium it, I'm leaving it.

Well, the warnings are of form:
Warning 6 'Unable to find assembly 'd:\visual studio 2010\Projects\(...).dll'
Meh, it's not like I needed that assembly anyway...

What the hell are you doing that zip ties and duct tape are interchangeable? Those are for entirely different tasks.

That's what I'm saying, the zip ties are for the hands, and the duct tape's for the mouth. You can't mix and match, it doesn't work.

You could use duct tape for both, but, yeah, zip ties don't work so well for the mouth. Maybe @Lorne_Kates is just an incompetent kidnapper. Or maybe he doesn't care about the mouth because he's using the zip tie as a garrote.

What are they seeing as a pr0n button? Does it dispense pr0n? And "when I'm in..." Is the end user fucking the TVs, and doesn't want to see a pr0n button, because it just distracts them from the fucking they're doing?

I thought that it was the ellipse cutting off what was required. But that's a twofer in my books!

You mean the one with no way of seeing what the full text it's cutting off is without using developer tools?
There are so many people with long names too long to fit in Discourse's tiny space, and viewing their profile just cuts it off in a different place. There's no interaction with hovering or clicking on it, so I guess Discourse is made for developers and only developers.
-
I don't want to pirate it.
i think i could qualify for a student license. surely using it for work won't be like pirating at all
-
I'm a developer and Discourse certainly isn't made for me.
-
So @PJH closed it, then @boomzilla Discoclosed it?.

Something like that.

Can the threads be merged, including the closing messages?

LOL.
"Hey, when a topic is closed and locked, should we hide the REPLY button, or even grey it out?"
"No. That would be CONFUSING and a to discussion! Instead let people click reply-- show them the reply textbox-- let them type in a full reply-- LET THEM EVEN CLICK SUBMIT ON THAT REPLY-- and then and only then should we show a popup saying "Something went wrong". I AM JEFF GOD UNTO MEN!"

Status: Marvelling at the ability of the media to be very confusing when it comes to dietary advice. First it was fat that's bad, then protein was suspect too and now it's sugar that's its next target.
"The big lie about sugar! Too much sugar is bad for you!" Indeed. As with almost anything, too much of it will be bad.
The real gold lies in the comments to such stories, though.
I'm trying to find products with low or no sugar for months now. No success. I'm doing sports and my rewards was a beer aftwards. Then I found that there are 18 grams of sugar in my wheat beer! I wrote to the brewery to demand answers! Didn't get one. Figures!
FYI: wheat beer is usually abbreviated as "yeast wheat" in Germany. I think someone needs to be educated as to exactly what role this mysterious yeast plays in the production of beer.

Emphasis added for clarification
But seriously, fat increases your cholesterol and weight, protein increases your risk of cancer, and sugar increases your risk of diabetes. Basically, don't eat constantly unless you're an athlete or a teenager.

Status: Just stared into a cesspool of poorly-implemented code from eons ago. I saw monsters. Real-life, terrifying, man-eating monsters stared back at me from that 5000+ LOC ball of moldy spaghetti. Some of the spaghetti might be electrified baling wire. Some of it might have been strands ripped from my own soul.
I looked up the equivalent code in one of our much newer, saner products, and it was only 260 LOC there.
-
Marvelling at the ability of the media to be very confusing when it comes to dietary advice. F
I think they're just reporting on the mess of contradictory studies over the years. I guess they sensationalize stuff, but the contradictions are inherent in the subject.
-
Plus the media never reports scientific studies properly anyway. For instance, they could report something raises your cancer risk by 15%. But what they don't say is the normal risk is 1 in 750,000; a 15% increase in that is nothing. Yet they'll still manage to get people running scared.
-
They're also counting to potato in this report. If you're using their numbers everyone would have to die 1.1 times for them to make sense ;)
On the other hand, this clearly demonstrates the term "overkill".

To be fair, the scientist who reported it should have known that a 15% increased relative risk is something that's basically worthless in terms of epidemiological / observational studies.
So the whole thing is garbage to begin with.
