Status: SSMS, why do you bother with a 'Remember password' checkbox when you never remember the fucking password?
Works for me. Your admin probably set up a policy to disable it.
-
@blakeyrat If the admin disabled it, why is it still showing the checkbox?

I know for a fact that's not the case; it sometimes remembers it, sometimes forgets it

I don't believe you.
Or, rather: I believe it "sometimes forgets", but I don't believe it does it without any action from you to cause it.

@blakeyrat The action I take is 'run SSMS'

Windows also likes to not remember SMB mount passwords.
OSX is a member of that club too.

Fyi, the Steam backup restore doesn't seem to work under Win10 x64. Steambackup.exe is somehow not a valid executable (win16 maybe?)
So I redownloaded my shit.
-
@Weng It's far more likely the download was corrupted.
-
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:
Steambackup.exe
Apparently, you shouldn't use that anymore, but something in a menu in steam instead.

I did it using the menu in Steam on Win10 x64.
-
@aliceif well, then Steam needs to fix their FAQ, because the version linked from Google is outdated.

Suddenly I like WordPress a bit more. I'm also happier I no longer have to use it.

Status: state-owned train company (Renfe) finally sent me a generic email response to the complaint I filed... two months ago!
"We apologize for the inconvenience and and will continue to work to improve our service" -> translation: "we are not legally obligated to give you any compensation and you have no other choice but us so get lost loser"
And by the way, the complaint was about their information screens NEVER FUCKING WORKING. All their computer systems are complete shit. Their ticket vending machines are still running on Windows 2000, and the interface seems to be HTML based so I assume IE6.

If using saved credentials is disabled on the database server, how is SSMS supposed to know it's disabled before connecting to the database server?
I guess it could try connecting in the background after you typed the server name in and before you typed in the password, but... ew.

Status: I know that translating movie titles is hard. I know it requires linguistic finesse and knowledge of the source material that not all translators have. I do understand that sometimes it's just plain impossible to figure out a translation that's both faithful and good-sounding. And I know Polish grammar is inherently awkward and occasionally ambiguous.
But "Star Wars: That Scoundrel" takes the cake previously held by "Spinning Sex".

"Star Wars: That Scoundrel"
If that's Rogue One, that doesn't seem like too bad a title. It got something of the spirit.
What movie was "Spinning Sex"?
-
DESERIALIZE YOU FUCK.

STATUS Apparently I lived through a great recession...

@FrostCat said in The Official Status Thread:

It's mostly the grammar ("X One" in Polish looks like you're yelling at someone), and I think the original creators meant "rogue" more as in "going rogue", but I'm not 100% sure of that.
Oh, and "Spinning Sex" is "Dirty Dancing", and no, there's no reasonable excuse for that.
-
@Maciejasjmj I'd watch Spinning Sex.

I love how Visual Studio will.totally let you change, build and execute stuff that isn't set to build in your current solution configuration, but if you do, it doesn't bother refreshing the debug symbols thereby leading to mass chaos if you try to debug it.

Status: Wanna debug a Go program that runs a HTTP server? Just
import _ "net/http/pprof"
. You can run CPU profiling, heap profiling, and a few other things, my favorite of which is getting a stack trace of every goroutine that's currently running.Here's an example on a server that's been running a long time.
-
@Weng additionally, I love assholes who turn Optimize Code on in the debug configuration of test projects. Because having the compiler decide that I didn't really want it to do all that pointless stuff and print it to the console (why the fuck is it optimizing away output, anyway!?) is helpful.
-
@Weng does C# not have an "as if" rule?
-
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:

Anyone who turns that setting on for Debug in any project I'm managing will face the business end of this:
-
@ben_lubar As far as I am aware, it's supposed to.

This just in! These two statements are not equivalent!
DoStuff(@"C:\testdata.txt")
DoStuff(File.ReadAllText(@"C:\testdata.txt"))

Does Go have a real debugger now? Or does this one still require you to rebuild your program with special calls inserted to work?

It won't. You fucked something up.

@blakeyrat it's always worked with GDB without any extra compilation steps.

I can confirm. I always check "save password". Every now and then, it just isn't there anymore.
Sometimes if I click on "password", it will fill it in an check "save password".
It's fucking fucked.

But MS have turned off SQLCLR on Azure databases because of a security flaw
Oh darn, and Google was being so helpful leading to an article (from MS apparently) that guides you through building a CLR adding to do this...
@RaceProUK said in The Official Status Thread:
when you never remember the fucking password?
WOMM, but only when I've successfully connected to said server previously using Windows Authentication:
(The MRU data file contains two entries for this server).
It might be trying to remember the password for a username that's slightly different. Caps matters apparently, one of the server entries literally has four different versions ofdomain\username
that only differ in which letters happen to be capitalized.Here, have a tool!

How does that affect the client? Unless the database server goes back after login and says, "Hey, client? That password you sent me? Yeah, forget it. I know it worked, but I want you to never remember you had it."

It skips the last two lines (xml is never accessed again). Why? Fuck if I know. But it does.

-
@Weng No it doesn't.
-
@blakeyrat I'm not going to video this but it totally does. It MAY have moved it to later, but I've got some hard exceptions right on the heels of it (hence why I'm fucking with it) so if it does, it doesn't live that long.
-
@Weng I don't believe you.
Maybe the Console class isn't the one you think it is. I don't know the answer, but there's no way a compiler optimization could possible remove that Console.Write().

Status: I am in a shitty mood.
I have to be here on my normal working from home day, due to that I have to attend the "all hands" meeting scheduled for a FRIDAY AFTERNOON for some goddamned reason. Then when I came in this morning I found out our developer's office has somehow turned into the QA manager's office, the useless stupid QA manager who has one of the smallest teams in the company.
And then it hit me: I'm going to work my entire career and never have an office. No matter what I do. And basically I've been stewing on that all morning while kind of slightly pretending to accomplish work.
Oh and the commute home's going to take me like 3 hours because every living in this shitty city, when the weather gets nice, all go to where I live all the time and clog up the freeways.
