The Official Status Thread

The new version of Words with Friends on Android offers statistics. If your lifetime score is over 99,999 points, it truncates anything to the right of six figures, so my score is 110,43 or something like that.

That's a European decimal point. In 'murica that'd be 110.43.
You might have a point if the display didn't do a pointless "numbers spinning like a psychotic odometer" thing and you could see it show intermediate results like 99,435.

I kind of figured you had some ballpark idea of your own score, regardless. I just like pointing out that they use the wrong punctuation for things over there.

I'm OCD enough that I want this error message to be more palindrome-atic.

In Europe? I agree!

Status: Officially on vacation until next year. Unofficially, I'll probably be spending at least a few loose ends so that I'll achieve more of my goals, get a better bonus and performance review.
Status: Christmas presents not finished. Heading out of town tomorrow, so I won't have access to most of the tools I need to finish them.

Status: wondering if I should have turned down this job due to the shitty commute. It's a great job, but goddamned their location is awful.

Status:
Deleted 50 lines of useless code that checks for authorization to do things.
Including one blatantly obvious duplicationif(fristcondition){ //Do thing 1 } else { if (onecondition){ //Do thing 1 //Do thing 2 } if (onecondition || othercondition || mayUserDoThings()){ //Do thing 1 //Do thing 2 } }
And a less obvious one where a function contains three other conditions in an OR-like manner. All of which were asked in surrounding code. And fristcondition actually should allow you to do thing 2.
End result:if (mayUserDoThings()){ //Do thing 1 //Do thing 2 }

I get one day off for the rest of the year. sigh

Since our use-it or lose-it date is Dec 31st, working backwards usually meant I was off from either the last week in November or first week in December. I got told to stop doing that...
I used to do the same thing at a previous employer. The President thought it would be amusing to come up to me the first year and say, "I wanted to let you know that your last day will be Dec 3rd." (or whatever it was) with a very stern look on his face. "WTF? Am I being let go?" "Not yet, you just haven't used any of the vacation days that you demanded when we hired you..."

huh. i had wondered who was sending me those links.... must add a nickname to my contacts entry for you so i remember next time...
now what did i do with those links... now that i know who sent them i'm sure they're actually worth clicking through. ;-)
more like i saw them once after i woke up and made a mental note to check out the links and have forgotten about them until now.

So the game is paused and the AI notices and wants to unpause it, but sometimes there's a giant box with an important message in it that needs to be removed as well.
df.curview.feed_keys(:D_PAUSE) df.curview.feed_keys(:CLOSE_MEGA_ANNOUNCEMENT)
Of course, D_PAUSE (by default bound to spacebar) only works when the box isn't there and closing the box unpauses the game.
Except that the keys are processed independent of the order they were pushed since it was all during the same frame. So it closes the box and then pauses the game.
Ugh.

Status: I noticed this morning that the temperature in the house was a bit nippy. 62F in the house. Diagnosed it to be a bad thermostat and now we are back in business.
Also, new cooktop will be delivered today, and I will get it installed a few minutes after that. After two weeks without a cooktop, I cannot wait to get back to cooking proper meals again!

There was a period of time at my last job where that would have backfired badly. It was the late 90s and we were all underpaid even though the market was good and developers were in short supply. The president used to jokingly say "You're fired" to other employees but never said that to any of the developers. To a man, we would have walked out had he tried that, and I'm sure he knew.

He did it sincerely jokingly. Trust me, I would have been one of the last to go. I was brought in to start an entirely new division and had brought a lot of work with me when I started there. It was more about the phrasing and a missing implication: "I wanted to let you know that your last day (this year) will be Dec 3rd." Along with the implied, "Why did you demand a shitload of vacation time if you had no intention of using it?"

, "Why did you demand a shitload of vacation time if you had no intention of using it?"
easy!
- because you agreed to it
- because i plan on using it one of these years.

It was more like:
- because I had you over a barrel when you hired me and I could get whatever the hell I wanted
- because I planned on taking some vacation time, but couldn't because...you know...starting a whole new division of the company and stuff.

Being single is very important when you're 24.

Probably a temp issue like caching, but multiple machines (pre-prod app server, mine, a co-worker's) were all experience the same issue. Really weird.

Status: Updated Visual Studio to get rid of Git Vulnerability?
Actually I checked and I don't see an update for VS yet. I did update the "normal" git client, and SourceTree and I hope I'm safe? I guess? Also this isn't a case-sensitive filesystem, so.

Don't go cloning untrusted repos and you should be fine either way.

Yes, those are the systems that are vulnerable.

i enjoy censoring information that doesn't need to be censored.

Here's how the exploit worked:
Git has a file named
.git/config
that's stored at the root of the repository. It contains stuff like commands to use for diffs and the URLs of the remote repositories you cloned from.It previously allowed someone to commit a directory named
.Git
, which would be a separate directory from.git
on Linux, but not on Windows.Similarly, Mac OS X ignores certain unicode characters in filenames when checking for equality, so you could do the same kind of thing.
Now, git errors out whenever a commit contains a file path element that is ".Git" or ".GIT" or anything similar, both when committing and when checking out changes.
If you don't use repositories you don't trust, you shouldn't be affected by this anyway.
