@topspin In what thread? If his own thread, he does that even to some posts that insult him. If some other thread, AFAIK there's no rule that prohibits him from reading other threads; he's just not supposed to post in them. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't vote in them, although I wouldn't encourage it.
-
@HardwareGeek the ChatGPT one. Sure, he’s allowed to read it, I’ve just not seen that happen before.
-
@topspin I think I saw another vote by him outside his own thread within the last month or so, but it definitely is unusual.

weird rule, that kind of madness is fun, but I wasn't here when it was instated, so there was probably some reasoning behind it

@sockpuppet7 I wasn't, either. AIUI, he was spewing his SSDS nonsense all over the forum and pissing everyone off. He was given a choice between confinement to a dedicated thread or being banned outright, and he agreed to the restriction.

STATUS I haven't heard from the recruiter in a few days, which in itself isn't suspicious, usually an indicator that there isn't a job offer in the offing so I should get an email soon but this was very dragged out. Five! Fucking rounds. That's some serious corpo.
I also spent the last few days organising a surprise birthday party that I was only made aware I was organising two days beforehand.
I'm sensing a theme here.

Angular or AngularJS? The latter dates back to 2010 and contains the pre-2.0 version of Angular…

Right. There was definitely need for an empirical study on the subject, to prove that while hammer can be used instead of wrench on select occasions, overall it does the job poorly.
If you take the widely known metaphor that LLMs are stochastic parrots that only reproduce what they have picked up, it is not surprising that they fail at such tasks.
PikachuGPT declined to comment.

A fine piece of pedantry but I suspect the former unless they're really cheaping out on legacy system contractors.
*edit There is an odd glut of job specs from higher education organisations. They have a rather eclectic mix of qualifications. Must have 5 -10 years of industry experience but have a PHD and have written for "high impact" journals. The wage they're offering wouldn't be too far out of reach for a PHD graduate whoring themselves to corpos. I can't imagine they're is much traction for them.

status Well, huh. VirtualBox is definitely better than Hyper-V.
It does USB pass-thru so I can make the VM see the stupid code signing USB token. And since code signing now requires a fuckin token (my old 3-yr cert expired, and I just updated to a new one. At 3x the last one's cost), I think my build process will likely break. I've been advised it will ask for the pin every.fucking.time. I build multiple targets and embed one of those in the others.
Can't test it yet tho. I accidentally locked and then bricked the fucking token. Waiting for a response on the ticket I opened.

NT 4 (I believe, at least 2000) through Windows Server 2008 had it by default, you could disable it via Group Policy though.

Status: I just turned the iPad into airplane mode (in the hopes it'd safe a tiny bit of battery) and ... what does it do? Besides turning on the airplane mode icon, that is.
It doesn't deactivate wifi, bluetooth, or airdrop. So what other wireless connections are there this is supposed to turn off?
-
@topspin apparently you can turn things on manually and it remembers that. So I must've played around with it for funsies and now it remembered "turn on the icon, do nothing else".
-
@topspin Also Android is similarly stupid. Just tested it: when I set my "smart" phone into airplane mode, only mobile data cannot be activated any more, wifi can still be activated and used.
That's not what I expected airplane mode to do.
-
@BernieTheBernie turn wifi off by default but allow it to be re-enabled is exactly what I'd expect airplane mode to do
