2 men, one woman. Guess which one was the half!
-
You said 3.5, so the half was a non-binary-gendered person-fluid.
-
I think people like that are too afraid of Cub Scout meetings to attend, let alone volunteer.

DUI lawyer coaster.
A couple of weeks ago I was at the pub and the advertisement over the urinal was for a tow truck service that would come drive you home and tow your car home for $60. That's true innovation and market expansion.

Congrats, you're unlocked!
Also did Motorola steal the Nexus bootloader? Cause that looks a helluva lot like the Nexus bootloader.

Bordering the mosh pit. My elbow ended some guys nose. He's gone.
In the mosh pits I know, that's pretty much a per-track occurrence. I'm more often on the receiving end of an elbow to the face, though...

STATUS:
Boss's golden goose project has gone live and finally we see how things work in reality.
What's that? The entire project might be based on a flawed premise and might need refactoring from grounds up? The big white label client might actually need a completely different kind of product altogether?
What a twist! Who could have seen that coming?!

Status: Just had Xmas lunch at work. 3 courses + mince pie, 40 minutes, £4. Now for a nap.
-
Finally! My form upload code now works. God, there were a lot of bugs (most of which were mine ) but I've got it all canned up nicely now.

Yeah, I'm just fucking with you.

Port the jobs! Jobs are a great thing to test changes on. Especially if you do that testing in production.
-
They're all interdependent, so I can't actually test until I've ported all the code.
And if there's such a thing as "a production install of Dwarf Fortress", I'm probably running that.

Dwarf Fortress is never productive.

Status: Just learned that the Visual Studio Test Suite executes all UnitTests in parallel. That certainly makes sense and will save a lot of time when I have more of them.
However, it also made me rewrite the Test Initialization routine because sqlite is not that fond of parallel access attempts.
-
I read that as "Visual Studio excludes all UnitTests in parallel". Yes, that would save time!

Status: go home, phone, you're drunk...
Filed under: Portrait mode is locked, maybe I tilted it too far?
-
sqlite is not that fond of parallel access attempts
Why would you use a single DB for all tests? That's just asking for accidental cross-pollution (one of the biggest problems I've seen in test suites because it's a subtle infection of wrongness). Unless you really care about checking disk accesses or performance, give each test its own
:memory:
DB. You spend a little more work on setup, but you parallelise fine.
-
Naw, I simply reused my existing code and didn't realize beforehand that my data storage module would run into thread issues. Every test would of course use a freshly prepared db - it's just that it was always the same file.
Also, the sqlite db is a bit abstracted away so putting it into memory is not really possible (at least for my skill level).

That's why it's like 5748573278576347582374823748237 billiion times faster than ReSharper.

Putting it into memory just requires using the “filename”
:memory:
. That's all it needs. If your skills don't go that far…

Oh god, it's one of those crappy wrapper layers that tries to be helpful and fucks it up.
Hate them.

Happens to me about half the time. Just keep retrying!

status: Firefox keeps causing win10's build1511 video driver to crash. (it crashes with other things too). Did a Device Manager, look for new driver - hey look, updated driver (too bad Win Update didn't see it)!
I blame Discourse - it only ever crashed when I had it open.
-
Status: Decided on a holiday project. I'm going to write an IRC app that works on my phone and PC that stays on in the background and doesn't disconnect without logging you out when you multitask. I will probably not succeed, but it might be fun.
-
-
STATUS: Yay! Another recruiter wants to add me to their LinkedIn professional network. They obviously think very highly of me.
-
All I know is, the only app i have available disconnects if I use my phone for anything else or let the screen turn off. I can do better.

-
LinkedIn
Status: Somehow, someone signed up one of our email lists as an identity on LinkedIn, and now were all getting invitations to "connect" with random people.
I don't know how this is happening, since I can't find the account using the email address displayed on the (legitimate) LinkedIn email, and nobody will fess up and disable the account.
-
andchat worked reasonably for me, and a mobile connection can't get any worse than what I have during work hours
-
The only free windows phone app is a port of a winphone7 app. Which is why its so broken.
-
Status: All out of from the Mafia 2 ending.
-

Probably. Hasn't crashed (yet) since I manually updated the Intel video driver yesterday.

I get at least 2 per week.

I have “LinkedIn” as a trigger for “mark as spam and autodelete”
