I don't think I've ever seen a language where you could use this before calling a base class constructor
You should be able to create a thread in C++ and capture
this
in the initialization list (i.e. before the class is even constructed). That thread will happily start using the half-constructedthis
object :--)EvilClass::EvilClass() : m_thread([this](){ this->Evil(); }) { }
And if you have proper warnings enabled (and properly have warnings-as-errors), that won't compile.

@boomzilla There are more than four presidents from Virginia, so "x of 4" wouldn't match that sequence. Otherwise, I like where you were going.

Perfect for running over trans hookers
Nah man. You don't run over trans hookers in a caddy with cow horns.
Ya kabob 'em.
But then you have to clean them! Of course, that's easier than cleaning the trunk I guess...

Hand holding-- to comfort them while they die from internal injuries by being trampled by someone who wants a $20 DVD player?

What is the fourth clue in this sequence?
"1 of 4: $1 Obverse"
"2 of 4: $2 Obverse"
"3 of 4: Not on current bank notes"
?4 of 4: $20 Obverse.
Reasoning:
$1 Obverse: Washington - President #1$2 Obverse: Jefferson - President #3
Not on current bank notes: Monroe - President #5
$20 Obverse: Jackson - President #7

Technically? Sure. Locking out people is a generally good thing.
Well, unless they're legitimate like I am, and two levels of helpdesk and several hours can't get you through.
This is a list of what went wrong:
- The domain login was a new account, so the password-needs-changing flag was set.
- The RSA token was new, so it needed a pin number to be set
- Initial login was fine, but of course Citrix in its wisdom decides it can handle Windows Password changes (typically this is true, if set up correctly).
- The attempt to change the password failed, likely due to "failed complexity requirements", which is what lead to the screenshot above.
- Bug in Citrix meant it was trying to use the new password anyways, despite not being changed, which lead to lockout.
- Once the password was "changed" (I had someone on the inside log in as my new account and do the needful from a normal workstation), it realized the token needs a PIN.
- Because this is a "soft token", the pin is supposed to be entered in both the app and the gateway site, in various ways (but not as described in the given documentation).
- Also, your 8-digit-pins must not repeat any number at any time (i.e.
12345671
is invalid because1
) - The reason why your pin is "unacceptable" isn't given at any time.
- Incorrectly setting the pin will result in automatic lockout of the Windows account (because security!)
- Incorrectly using the "hard token" method of entering the pin with token number will result in account lockout.
- Once logged in, I discovered that I had no provisioned apps in the Citrix environment.
So, after all that effort, I still can't actually do anything. Yay!

@JazzyJosh Time for round two - the Sequence round where the question is "What comes fourth in the sequence?"
Here's the first:
"1 of 4: $1 Obverse"
$0.50 Reverse
(I'll just post it now, since I apparently have a ton of posts to catch up on and I don't really care if it's been
'd or already answered somewhere...)

@anotherusername said in The Official Status Thread:
..."obverse" is specific to coins, not notes...
No, it's not. From the link @Lorne-Kates posted earlier:
noun
- the side of a coin, medal, flag, etc., that bears the principal design (opposed to reverse ).
- the front or principal surface of anything.
(Emphasis added)

On the bright side...if Trump were to lose...we might get the first concession speech where the loser calls the winner a "cunt". So, that would be a plus.

@anotherusername
Clearly, various dictionaries give similar but slightly different definitions:
Full Definition of obverse
1: the side of a coin or currency note bearing the chief device and lettering; broadly : a front or principal surfacehttps://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/obverse
Obverse is very often used to mean "the front of a coin or medal," although you can also use it to describe the principal or more obvious side of anything with a front and a back.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obverse_and_reverse
Obverse and its opposite, reverse, refer to the two flat faces of coins and some other two-sided objects, including paper money, flags, seals, medals, drawings, old master prints and other works of art, and printed fabrics.
OTOH, http://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/obverse doesn't even allow medals in their definition.
In short, the use of obverse to describe currency is not universally accepted, but it is widely accepted, and applying the term only to coinage is unnecessarily restrictive according to most dictionaries.

Status: Wife says to me, "Let's move to Isla Mujeres. Open a restaurant, live off our residual income, you can recruit some people to run the businesses, I can realistically do my job from anywhere. Let's just move to somewhere with an ocean view. We can surround ourselves with 'Bad Hombres'"

Do you really think he can give a concession speech?

@izzion Think you could deal with all the "Bad Hombres"?
Seriously though, Isla Mujeres is paradise. Mexican citizens with any criminal record are not even allowed to visit the island. It is as close as this planet has to utopia.

If he does, it would be a total shitshow. It probably will be either way. If Hillary gives one it would be right after she realizes she is literally that horrible of a person.

Status: Converted/rewrote our hand-rolled timeclock web application. It's beta at the moment, but we went from this:
To this:
Basically, we're integrated with JIRA now instead of some weird cut-down project/subprojects thing.
Next up is theming so we're not stock bootstrap, but I believe that will be on downtime.
BTW, the page speed went from ~18 seconds to initial server response to < 0.1 seconds, and final page load from 20 seconds to 2.2 (JIRA callback isn't cheap apparently). 9.8 Mb transfer (because that background is actually a video) to 0.5 Mb transfer (because screw video backgrounds!).
And, once I figure out how to enable HTTP/2 it should be even faster!
