[code]please upgrade to at least 1.2.0, or recommended 1.2.0[/code]
"Please get minimum version x or preferred version also x".
Nice.
Also, thanks for the busted formatting[1], along with the lame error, Discourse.
Yes, I know a carefully-placed newline will fix it, but analogously to @blakeyrat's no-like fetish, I prefer to leave this as is.
-
The excessive number of overly-large lightning bolts on the weather map. It does look silly.
or, depending on which outrage you are talking about, @blakeyrat's outrage at hipster[1]s, or the hipster's "Americans = duh".
[1] hipster graphic designers or whatever.
Maybe Europe is just really really really boring for that guy.

Heh. Or maybe he's just an asshole. The latter's the most likely explanation.

Status: Hearing the rain fall on my window is probably something nice to fall asleep to ...
Good night!
-
Listening to the Bruins game. They're playing my wife's team, so I'm glad that neither of us is home.
Also made about 5 mistakes when refactoring around 50k lines of code. Well, 5 mistakes that I've found so far.

Status: Homegrown mashed potatos and pork chops for dinner. Yum.

Sounds like what I had last night.
Tonight, it's a pork loin crock pot recipe.

Today Putin is dropping in for a few hour visit. Consequence: the last week was a chaos of repainting streets, cleaning up buildings, practicing for a military parade etc.
Reminds me of back when I was studying and my parents would visit.
Anyway, the big day is here. The city is full of cops and military, it's raining heavily and a bunch critical streets are closed for the stupid parade. Traffic collapse imminent. On the upside, it's a good excuse to work from home, so there's that.
Thanks Putin?

Status: Adding features to a CLI application which basically reads user input, formats the data, sends it to another process, read the response, and display it to the user.
Instead of using blocking I/O, it uses aselect
-based event loop and a state machine.
The code is probably three times longer than it could have been.

Fuuuuuuck...you didn't...use IDs, did you?

I figured out why our news graphics are so bad, they're literally herding cats in those studios:

Status: Two of my fuel injector lines are leaking and of course they aren't the ones that are easy to get to. Gotta rip a bunch of stuff off again just to tighten them up.
I am not a mechanic.
-
Status: everyone wants me to be social, I want the exact opposite. Trying to politely decline invitations.
-
Status: the "dismiss posts" button left 5 zombie "read but also unread" threads around. So I take back what I said about maybe that bug getting better.
How many decades do you think it'll be before one of those assholes fixes it?
-
It depends how many non-bugs they decide to non-fix first.

Have you ever experienced a customer actually doing that? "we'd like to enter time in decimal format." Several months later..."the way you have us enter time is a bit confusing, can you put it into hours and minutes?" About a year after THAT, "Can you change the time entry field to enter time in decimal format?"
This was the same person all three times.

Yes. Multiple times. This was, however, a sideswipe just at Discourse for them changing their own shit randomly for no apparent reason and my suggestion cheekily to change it back because there was nothing wrong with it the first time around.

Status: just finished watching Frozen for the first time.
[spoiler]So Elsa The Queen of Whereveristan has ice/snow/freezing powers, but they get out of control (understatement of the year) when she gets angry or upset. And rest of the movie is about how nobody can get her to sit down, have a warm cup of tea, and fucking calm down already and stop freezing stuff. FFS Elsa you dumb piece of shit stop running away already and listen to the people trying to help you.[/spoiler]
Not that it matters much. The only animated movie that can top Shrek 2 is (hopefully) The Incredibles 2.
