@Cursorkeys Send them to mailchimp. That's what we make our marketing department do.
It WAS MailChimp that kicked them off :D
Edit: Also they haven't listened. Apparently other-bulk-mailer is too hard to use and they want to use our Domain again. Not going to happen.

Aw, thanks SonarQube!

Yeah, well, this was a boy who took that long to put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt.

Well, you know, it takes longer when you have to retrieve your porn stash from your slick.

@CreatedToDislikeThis said in The Official Status Thread:
hate of github
Main things I dislike about github:
- Hard to find the timeline view, and the timeline is confusing. If you're trying to watch what several people are up to in a repository, that matters quite a bit.
- Crappy issue management (except for the PR use-case).
OTOH, they're not exactly catastrophic problems. Just irritations. (I also don't like git itself, but that's a whole 'nother story.)
-
@dkf what always confuses me is that what looks like it should be a description of a file/folder is actually the comment from the most recent commit that affects it. I don't get why that would be useful enough to be front and centre

That doesn't bother me too much. I guess I was used to it from somewhere else before (though I forget where).

Well, that is the reason I mentioned gender and not the actual physical bits

@Fox said in The Official Status Thread:
Status: My new Surface decided to do a Windows Update in the middle of class. Two restarts and ten minutes later, I go to set my Windows Update to only update when I'm not using it, like my desktop is set to do. Except that option's not there. At all. Apparently my Surface is incapable of waking itself up at 4 AM to do a Windows Update? What the fuck, Microsoft? Fuck you.
So now my Surface is set to bitch at me to manually schedule an update any time it downloads a new one. Thanks, Microsobama.
Looks like a FF22 issue to me.

Invalid n. One who is incapacitated by a chronic illness or disability.
Sounds about right.

@Jaloopa Solution is to not work in NYC
Also our charity matching program requires a minimum of $25 to match, so I suspect that's why it's high.

I think I used to be that boy. Seriously, I could get distracted by anything.

He stood in the the same spot in front of his dresser, wearing underwear and still wrapped in his towel (after showering), for at least 10 minutes. I guess that's an improvement of goofing off for a half hour before putting any underwear on because he's out of clean underwear in his room and it's all downstairs waiting to be put away.

That doesn't look household friendly....
Now, who can I convince to let me sit a noisy server in their room...
Closets help!
Of course, the temps might be a concern...
You should encourage your temp workers to come out, then. Try to be supportive of them if they do.

Overlay? As in, how they appear on mobile?
Yeah I think so. I don't use mobile much and never really noticed it used overlay scrollbars.

God help you if you ever encounter a vegan anti-vaxxer FSF contributor who does Crossfit.

But because moving and resizing system partitions is a pain in the ass/impossible, dynamic disks are the only way to achieve that.
Most partition managers will just reboot into a special mode, do the resize, then reboot again.
-
Status: Rebooted Windows as soon as the "Reboot ... install updates ... not using ... yada, yada" notification popped up. It's not like I was doing anything, anyway. All my jobs were killed when machines were taken down for scheduled maintenance. There's almost literally nothing I can do until the restarted jobs finish in the middle of the night tonight.
In other news, I might actually be awake when they finish, because I'm getting up at oh-dark-thirty for a 06:30 flight to WA. My temporary relocation to CA is becoming permanent, not because my job is becoming permanent, unfortunately, but because I have to move out of my house up there. So I lose my per diem and @blakeyrat and I are not going to be neighbors any more. Well, you win some; you lose some. Now I just have to find a non- place to live down here.

And when he was done, you gave him one look and said "bold choice". At least, that's what I would have done.

@ChaosTheEternal said in The Official Status Thread:
PCL
You can't define a word by using that word!
-
@Tsaukpaetra Wasn't defining it, trying to be unambiguous. I would define what PCL meant except HP doesn't even define it in the reference document I have.
-
@Tsaukpaetra
Well, technically, it's not a word, it's an acronym.One that happens to stand for Printer Control Language.

No it isn't. It's also unicode.

Status: Backups are nice to have, so it's a pity that the last good one I have is from June. Turns out that the cheapo VPS provider that I was using for a side-project was using RAID 0 - not great when a disk fails. I hadn't been too worried as I knew that I had daily backups...
-
@japonicus If you are not verifying your backups, assume that you have no backups.
-
@Polygeekery Indeed! That's what I tell everyone else.
