Haha! Now you feel what Linux users suffer because Skype for Linux is crap, or because MS did as much as possible to make Exchange not work on Linux, etc... Fuck your M$ phone!

No? I don't see how the two things are comparable at all. And:
or because MS did as much as possible to make Exchange not work on Linux, etc... Fuck your M$ phone!
That's not even true. They've spend basically the last 5 years making Exchange's web interface AWESOME AS FUCK so it works in any OS that can use a modern web browser.

Talking about phantom buses, a transportation WTF: I used to take the last bus when I was going home. There was an asshole driver that would ask if anyone would go to my neighbourhood, implying that if noone was going there he would take a shortcut, and fuck with anyone that might be waiting at a stop there.

Don't worry! We can use the online one now, hahahah...
Wait... why...
you’ll need to install a small plug-in to start your conversation
But... WebRT...
Ah.

Too little, too late. Sure you're aware of the stuff in the halloween documents? And all the perfectly valid criticism against Microsoft?
Fuck those guys.

Yes it is.

So now you completely support the Javasciptification of all the things? Duly noted. The fact remains, only the most basic functionality of Exchange is supported on Linux. For all intensive porpoises, only IMAP email. Calendar...eh...it sort of works. That is about it.

Status: Quite amused at the REPL in VS for C#. It has full syntax highlighting, and recognizes classes you've just submitted to it. Next I need to find out how to save and load with it.

THERE IS NO GREY. ONLY BLACK AND WHITE. SO SEZ INTERCOURSE.

So fix Linux's shitty-ass browsers, because everything Exchange supports the web version of Outlook supports. Unless you're running like the old 1997 web version, in which case we're back to: fix your shitty-ass browser.

All questions or statements in an OP are forever etched in stone and not able to me amended. So says blakeyrat.

You asked for X, then people started suggesting Y, then I just pointed out that Y is not X. Sorry for literacy? I guess?
If you amended the question, I sure as fuck didn't see it as I read through the thread.

In the OP:
Does anyone have good suggestions for a gift that could help foster that interest?
Where the interest referenced is an interest in programming. Then:
I was thinking an Arduino starter kit perhaps?
I stated the exact thing you said was OT later.
Then later:
I was thinking Arduino because it is programming related, but you can see tangible results. You can see how things react, how your logic works in real world scenarios, etc.
You even went so far as to quote me saying that suggestions were not a good idea. You literally quoted me, saying that a suggestion was a good idea, to try to prove your point that things were not a good suggestion. You did that.
You have no point.

Pfft. I don't read every post all the way to the end, you know that. What did you just get slapped by the doctor?
In any case, I still move that tinkering with a Arduino is not going to interest a kid with an interest in programming unless he also has an interest in tinkering with shit. Obviously I don't know the kid. But that's true.

Eh. An argument can be made either way and we all speak from our personal viewpoint. An Arduino allows you to write logic that accepts input from the outside world and allows that to influence other actions in that world.
Seems like a good way to foster an interest in programming. Besides, the Venn diagram of nerdy 13 year olds that like programming but not robots, etc., has very thin slivers on the edges.

But not as good as Project Spark.

That service does not shred on-site and costs a lot more than $30 for that volume. Not shredding on-site is a deal breaker for lots of orgs.

Whatever. Point is: unless her time is literally worthless, it's stupid to have a FTE employee do that instead of paying 1/10th of the cost of their BENEFITS (much less salary) to have a shredder truck pull up and do the same job. Say you're paying $450/month for her benefits, and shredding a cubicle full of wastepaper takes 3 weeks and (if they have a shitty home shredder) at least $60 in replacement shredders. DO THE MATH.
It's the same thing as that German company wanting to put someone in a plane to find 50 GB of free space instead of just going to German Best Buy and buying a damned HD. Exact same dumbness at work.

Trahearne's always seemed like his character development was missing some stuff. In that mission he's like "i'm not a leader" and then suddenly he's all inspirational and shit like three missions later.

I would have a happy feeling if I could print and shredd the code I was working on today
-
I keep meaning to give that a serious try, since I like to know about these things. It seems quite cool, but for some reason I never got around to trying it on PC.

Go for it! What else are printers for?

Status: Couldn't start the Windows 10 Mobile simulator because, according to Visual Studio, I need to provide my credentials. The error message suggested logging out and in again to fix that. Only that it didn't.
Thankfully someone else had run into the same issue and stated that you'd need to login using your actual password and not through any other method (i.e. PIN / fingerprint / iris scan / ...)
-
Impossible to get permission to do it. Manglement don't believe we handle sufficiently large volumes of paper PII. Never mind PHI. Or just plain confidential and proprietary shit.
At our previous office location we had weekly visits by the shredder truck, but they were nominally there for the manufacturing operation, not us lowly programmers (we just dumped boxloads of our shit into their bins).
She is doing this as a political and economic statement. Cost of her time plus cost of burnt out shredders plus cost of garbage bags.

Ah, spite.
Why didn't you say so?
Now I'm all behind it.
-
And for what it's worth, it would be about two hundred bucks in cost for this volume, shredded on site. We have an existing contract with a local company for our other local sites. Fuck, we could get it done free if we could get permission to have our captive logistics company (which runs trucks between our local plants 24/7/365) to move it.

How much is it to hire a woodchipper for an afternoon in your area? Probably less than a proper shredder, and just as effective... And far more fun

One of my favorite gags on The Simpsons is when Bart gets pissed off at Homer so he goes to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization and pretends he has no dad. They assign him the most awesome Big Brother possible who takes him everywhere and pays way more attention to him than Homer.
So Homer goes to Big Brothers to sign up to be a mentor, and he's doing his little interview, and the clerk asks him:
Clerk: "So what is your reason for wanting to be a Big Brother?"
Homer's Brain-voice: "Don't say 'revenge'. Don't say 'revenge'."
Homer: "Revenge."
Homer's Brain-voice: "That's it, I'm out of here. (sounds of footsteps, and door closing.)"
That's a good gag, but then it gets better: the camera moves over the clerk's shoulder, and you can see the checkboxes they have pre-printed on the form:
I saw that gag when I was like 12 and I've always loved it. If I ever design a form with reasons, I'd totally steal that list.

No it isn't. Stuff comes in in little bits and we need to associate it. A hash table is a fine tool.
I suspect I'm misreading a detail somewhere and there's a access that's not correctly protected by the lock.

This is why it is important to lock away mutable data structures behind an API: it makes it possible to audit them for whether they're being used right. It might be a global hash table, but that doesn't mean you have to let everyone put their grubby paws on its internals.

Basically, way more expensive.

Man, that no one reply to this is worrying. So what happened? Anyone got shot?

I never claimed it was safer. Just more fun...

The hash is behind an API. There's finnicky meddling with the item members and refcounts all over the place and I thought that's where my leak was from but evidence is otherwise... If I can't figure it out quickly I'll package it in a new bug and delegate it - I've got a reliable way to identify the problem now.
It's actually unusual. Most of the time the guy who wrote this stuff is fond of having struct definitions like this in the C file that describes the API instead of in a header.
-

Nobody got shot; I never even saw drawn weapons. (If I had, I wouldn't have been watching what was going on; I'd have put something more substantial than a piece of glass between me and the action.) No real idea what was going on. If I had to guess, I'd say the guy was prowling around the house where the neighbor was taken to the hospital and all the family was gone, but that's just a guess.
