I bet is happy that at least goal line technology is available.
Another reason is the pace of the game. FIFA doesn't want soccer to become a US style of game where the hole thing grinds to a halt because someone farted.
But it does grind to a halt when someone decides to fall down and grab their leg

@lolwhat said in The Official Status Thread:
They could still let the game keep going while the replay guys come to a decision.
How is that supposed to work in soccer?
Say the referee doesn't stop for a fault like a dirty tackle ... some dudes at the sideline take a few minutes to decide and then call it a fault. Now the ball has to return to the point of the fault to be turned into a free kick or similar.
In The Netherlands they are experimenting with video assistance but that is instant. E.g. there is actually a third/fourth referee following the live feed and giving the 1st referee immediate feedback.You don't review penalties. Plain and simple. Same with every other sport.
You do review goals. If it was called no-goal on the field, and you replay and it was a goal *even if another goal was scored in the internim* the original goal is awarded and the clock is rolled back to the time of the goal. Or in this case, because it was soccer you add on mandatory extra time so the clock doesn't have to be rolled back.

Cause it integrates nicely with the other task tracking stuff in IntelliJ.
I use the command line too, I just alternate between them. The GUI is much better for resolving merge conflicts...

Euuh ... you mean goal line tech that can show if the ball actually crossed the goal line or bounced on the line?
The thing that is being used this EK? The thing that showed nicely that lucked out when the ball bounced on the line yesterday? That one?

@Luhmann Yeah. The goal is much larger and the game is slower paced, so you don't have as much of an issue with it compared to hockey

@izzion Does baseball yet?

That shitty wrong call stole Armando Galarraga's perfect game away from him. Even the umpire who made the call regretted it and wished he could take it back.
EDIT: to the person saying you should only review goals, baseball has a lot of very important benchmarks and achievements that are not runs. Like, for example, a pitcher getting a perfect game.
-
@blakeyrat
Baseball at least has gone to allowing for video replay on most calls that can be pretty objectively determined by video replay. Though I'm not that interested in baseball myself, so whatever :p@et-al
I get that sport has a human element, but they still had a 3-4 minute stoppage in Peru-Brazil, even without the video replay. Maybe it would have gone longer waiting for a replay (the TV broadcast apparently didn't have the replay to show until after the referee ruled it a goal), but given that they've had two handball goals that eliminated a team from a major tournament in the past 7 years, I would expect soccer to consider it an issue.Though I guess nobody's paying them to implement video replay. Maybe we just need to get a major video replay system like Hawkeye to send sweet to FIFA...
-
@izzion Yeah; the NFL had incentive: they got to use the video replay machine to justify showing more ads.

@blakeyrat I was talking about Soccer, Of course for baseball there's a more that makes sense to be reviewed. Fair/foul, safe/out, hit/error (though really that could be handled after the game), I would say ball/strike, but IIRC you can't because Umpires Union.

Sounds like the drive is in portable mode (or something)? IIRC some VM software did that specifically for raisins. But only if you slotted the image through the menus, if you did it through the VM configuration pages of course it wouldn't do it.

status finished code review of new developer's first check-in.
Part of change was to replicate an existing widget on a different page, with same look-- including spacing on top.
Existing widget is like this:
<div class='PageContainer'> <br /> <br /> <br /> <control:widget id='widget' /> </div>
His code:
<div class='PageContainer'> <div class='WidgetContainer'> <control:widget id='widget' /> </div> </div>
With a reference in the site's css for
.WidgetContainer { padding-top:3em; }
........ wow. Okay. Is there a term that's the opposite of "canary in a coal mine"? It's just one tiny part of the check-in, but the fact that he had the foresight to ditch shitty "spacing with linebreaks", and give it a cssclass that is easy to target, AND put the spacing in a place where the customer can modify if they way (customers can modify site css, and this customer loves changing layout).
Yes.

The equipment's all mounted on a single sheet of thick plywood screwed to a wall, and all the cables going up and out are in one cankle-thick bundle. IF there's enough slack and nothing else in the way above the drop ceiling, it SHOULD be possible to unscrew the plywood, have a couple of guys carry it 6 feet to the left, and remount it on a different wall. But it won't be me and the one other guy in the office doing it, you bet.

@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

As a matter of fact, when the wifi router that was bought when our office was a separate company died a couple of years ago, corporate IT had a shit-fit at the idea of getting a new wireless router unless it was OUTSIDE the corporate network, which would make it completely useless to us, so we don't have wi-fi.
-
@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:
BTW: If a company is downsizing by renovating-- it's time to renovate your resume just in case.
No, they downsized last year--actually it was "the headcount was allowed to shrink by attrition." I have reason to believe they will keep the place open as long as we have enough clients who continue to pay maintenance to maintain some nominal level of profit.
Also, the fact that this wall is part of our lease renewal, and the fact they bought us a $6000 server that they claim they eventually will use to virtualize our existing physical servers suggest that's true, so I'm reasonably sure this office will stay open at least a few more years, although I hope to be gone sooner than that.
@Lorne-Kates said in The Official Status Thread:

I already asked the management company, because we're going to be losing our existing kitchen. We have an empty office where we can put the fridge, microwave, and Keurig, but they won't build us a sink, so the Keurig won't be of much use.

If your host is powerful enough you could even fire up a couple of VMs and then just switch to the next one after each one is ruined, meaning you don't have to wait for the reboot!
