What happened with flat simple designs?
Alive and kicking on what I'm working on at the moment.
Although it does have box shadows, so...

You could always suggest A/B testing to see which works out better in practice…

Oh fucking god I hope so. Fuck flat designs. Give me UX clues and borders so know what the fuck is what.

This new thing is even worse. Everything is still flat, except now instead of nice clear colors, everything is pastel and rainbowy.

@ben_lubar Was it supposed to be some kind of surprise that lot of your citizens died when they were attacked by a giant underwater Hummel?

@thegoryone said in The Official Status Thread:
why e-mail me about a senior Angular.js dev role?
You should email them back and ask.

Trying to appeal to the Fox types, I suppose.

STATUS
Paprikash was a success, I think
-
@cartman82 That's some lovely-looking brains you've got in there. I hope you've gotten your Kuru vaccination.
-
STATUS Right! Two failed plans and a crying outsourced intern. Today is official a disaster.
-
Status: I bought this on impulse
My only regret is not buying it 5 years earlier. And not having the balls to actually wear as often as I'd like to.
-
@anonymous234 I want one, and will wear it to every meeting !
-
@TimeBandit There's plenty of sellers online! You'll want to find one near you to save on shipping costs though.

It's friday. I just spent way too long trying to connect to yet another different fucking janky-ass VPN/citrix/rdp/whatever the fuck combo.
It is ALWAYS broken. Even if I uninstall the plugin, re-install, whatever.
Email sent to India (again), cc the customer so they know they're getting billed (again) for my wasted time.
If this useless IT vendor hasn't cost this customer 1000 hours of lost time, I'd be shocked. But they're "cheaper". Fucking idiots, every one of them.
Whatever. 10 minutes until the weekend. I'm done.

@cartman82 I've always associated chicken with paprikash and beef with goulash.
I also prefer my chicken paprikash to be more of a gravy stew than a soup stew but that's just me and my other-pondian-basterdization of chicken paprikash. Fuck, now I feel the need to go to the store and get stuff for chicken paprikash and spaetzle...
Damn you Serbian bastard!

Status: Happy to discover that in 2016 a well-designed compute shader is still capable of bringing down a machine completely.
And by bringing down I mean: start program, go to break point just before the shader is invoked, take an additional step, mouse freezes, and a few seconds later you're greeted by a BIOS boot-up screen.
At least Windows boots fairly quickly these days.
GPU drivers have always been known for their stability and lack of bugs!

Status: The Italian wine and the grappa afterwards were very nice. Praise be to having a good local wine merchant.

Glad the week is out!
Arrived at work at 0600, took 2 steps inside and:
"OMG, I can't balance the blah,blah... What should I do!"My answer was: "Wow, it really sucks to be you today." /me walked away.
The guy who's job (in my head) is to keep me from saying stuff like that was, I think, still trying to find caffeine. ¿Shamefully? It did feel nice to, for once, just basically blow them off.
I am usually the go-to guy for most anything. But Jesus! How about maybe learning to do your own job properly.
Now for the beer. Lots of beer.

Reading the "Blakeyrat pointing out nodebb's issues" thread and-- wait a second. Avatar in OP (and in /unread) is his old avatar.
Does-- does NodeBB preserve the avatar you used when you made a post?
:/

Quote regarding an Asteroids cabinet: This button can't be here. It's labeled Thrust"
Also, behold her shame:

I've been assured that's impossible. By the guy who has an avatar CDN.

I chickened out and sent an e-mail reporting the problem instead. They still haven't fixed it or responded back, if that's any consolation...

Status: Threw a pupil out of class yesterday. Told him that next time I'd also hand him a McDonald's application.
Don't really feel bad about throwing him out.
Feel bad for the guys at McD who'd have to work with him, though.

Status: Just recovered robots from Duna and Eve. Trying to decide if I have enough parts to do a manned Duna landing... maybe not. Definitely can do an Ike or Gilly landing, considering they're so light that virtually any spaceship can land on them.
I got docking connectors, so I can do a two-launch craft now. And just unlocked atomic motors, although they still have no good fuel tanks in the game for those. It's great; the engine's has twice the efficiency of any other, but you have to drag around huge half-empty fuel tanks to fucking use it.

Goddamn it, no one cares about Dwarf Fortress!!!

@Lorne-Kates That is true.

@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
Another reason to not use ReSharper: it's dumb "go to implementation" menu item encourages development of unnecessary interfaces.
So an IDE feature meant to help developers navigate code is to blame for developers writing stupid code? Yeah, right…
@Weng said in The Official Status Thread:
I mean, sometimes it makes sense. Like if it's some sort of interaction class that you'd want to mock for unit testing other modules.
Doesn't C# have a way to mock concrete classes? Because in Java, that's definitely possible, see Mockito. This is not a valid reason to introduce unnecessary interfaces.
@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
And, as I said, it seems to be the common practice in Java
Not in my experience. At least not when competent people work on the code, so same as in C#.

@cartman82 said in The Official Status Thread:
But... but.... then I can make mocks in unit tests!
Get yourself a decent mocking framework.

And people think product placement is a modern invention!
Also, less than a minute later, he eats a paper note and puts on a fake mustache and sunglasses.

just watched the secret life of walter mitty. the e-harmony placement is so persistent it was annoying. kind of in the same level of that movie where they used head'n'shoulders to kill the alien.

My green curry accidentally soup
I think the next time improvisation goes unfortunately liquid on me like this, I'll just cook the rice in the sauce.

Status: My dad installed Windows 10 and brought his laptop to me for help. The only problem was that one program wanted to write to its Program Files folder and couldn't. I'm not sure why it worked on Windows 7 and not 10, but I gave it permission and now he has 0 problems. Except that Microsoft automatically installed Candy Crush on his work computer (it was installed on my computer when I up
graddated to 10 so I'm assuming it was part of the 10 update and not shitware that my dad unintentionally installed) because Windows is never used by businesses ever, right?
-
@ben_lubar norepro, none of my 10 pro machines have candy crush.

Reminds me of Dutch pea soup, which has similar colour and consistency.

@PleegWat
@Weng 's soup seems rather liquid Snert is by definition very much the opposite. It's not Snert if you can't make your spoon stand in it.It also needs rookworst ... This is totally the wrong season for Snert!
