Does it actually charge your device?
Yes. It correctly makes electrical connection between the charger and the phone.

So I finally found one, on page 9 of the search results. Unlike all the sleek-looking ones going the other way, this one seems to go out of its way to be ugly.
Also I found this
Also also, I got this toaster while putting together this post

@TimeBandit And they put the back button on the wrong side.
As always.
On the bright side, at least it's on-screen, so you can fix it with modz.
Also, wtf is with the nonstandard icons?

Status: FFS, you dumbass. That lookup step that was deleting the synthetic rows from the target table that are built after resyncing with the source ALSO had the net effect of deleting real rows that no longer existed in the source. And you didn't re-do that functionality, and didn't even think to test that before you went to production...

Please, ma'am, may I have a toy?
You may indeed! what kind do you want? insertable? external use only? solo play? duo play? group play?
do you have any color preference?

Status: The main reason people use an
Expression<Func<T, U>>
in C# is different from what it's actually for.Usually, when someone uses one, the goal is to convert the expression to a member expression, and then get the
PropertyInfo
from that for whatever reason.But what it's for is delayed compilation of a delegate.
What does this mean?
static void Main(string[] args) { var thing = new CheckableThing(); bool? newValue = false; CheckThing(thing, t => t.Magic, newValue); } private class CheckableThing { public bool Magic { get; set; } } private static void CheckThing<THost, TPropertyType>(THost host, Expression<Func<THost, TPropertyType>> accessor, TPropertyType value) { }
If you put a breakpoint in the
CheckThing
method and inspect theaccessor
property, you will find that the expression ist => Convert(t.Magic)
, because the type inference has decided thatTPropertyType
is aNullable<Boolean>
, and so returning a non-nullable as a nullable ought to have a call toConvert
to make sure everything is working correctly. However, this means that this expression is no longer castable toMemberExpression
.So, TIL and all that.

@Perverted_Vixen I like how all of these questions have to be answered publicly. :P

well. if it's desirable to talk privately there's always the option to initiate a chat.... do you have a question you want to ask or answer in private?

@darkmatter Status: so curious as to what could possibly be in the post that would completely kill it, even if it was imported from the unclean lands of
should have known better than to let the impure posts touch the nodebb's naughty places.
-
@boomzilla rats... I was all set to try to see if I could identify which post was causing the problems...
I was gonna start by requesting
/api/post/288605
(post number 3176; the range 3180-3185 was killing it), which should just return"/topic/11847/the-official-likes-topic/3176"
(as in, not the actual post, just the link to that post), and then I was going to try to increment the PID to find the 5 posts in the page that kills it without actually loading them, and then when I had the PID of those posts I was gonna try to request the raw post content for them to see if mayhaps that actually didn't kill the server...Or at least, with the PIDs, people with JS skills could upvote the posts without being able to see them...
edit: hmm, I might still be able to do the first part of that. It still gives back
"/topic/11847/the-official-likes-topic/3176"
when I request/api/post/288605
, even when I don't have permission to view the target... requesting/api/topic/11847/the-official-likes-topic/3176
would return an error for insufficient permissions.

oops - i got to 3174; 3176 and 3177 actually failed too for me... but maybe because of others looking at it too?

-
@boomzilla what post(s) were causing the problems? Any idea why?
-
@darkmatter oh
well problem found then, since boomzilla had to retract my last post...?
it was a ridiculous nesting of bigs and subs/sups with text that would trash posts before/after the post in question
-
@darkmatter client-side rendering issues doesn't explain why the post crashed the server, though.
-
@anotherusername You can see them in there now. It will be obvious which ones I edited (may have gotten some that didn't totally need it). We had investigated this right before we moved it back. The cause is...unknown. Something going on in the mix of plugins that we have.

oh.
yeah that post was right before what kills the server.
my guess is that i realized something in conjunction with it and doubled two whammiesquadruple whammy

No, but NodeJS explains it

Beware! Not all that is Pythonic is performant. As my colleagues are finding out slowly…

@dkf Surely you meant:
Nothing that is Pythonic is performant.

Status: Will definitely tell our IT-Team that I want to administrate "my" Surfaces myself. Their shitty system (which was supposed to be an improvement) does not seem capable of establishing a stable system.
I have 21 Surfaces currently. They took six(6) weeks to install the firmware update which fixes the battery issues during which most of them were practically unusable. I then got the report in our ticket system that all is good now. That was last week.
Today I carried a sixth Surface over to our IT room because it had issues.
- They forgot to install the firmware update on one Surface (they are numbered. Checklists obviously don't exist).
- Another one seems to have gotten only half of the image (at least that's what their bootloader tells me: "Image download at 35%")
- Then there's the one where they messed up the installation of Chrome and Firefox (both of them crash immediately after launch)
- The next one does have a complete image (I guess) but it's not activated. Or something. The bootloader presents me with six differenly named boot options, all of which either don't work or have issues (for example, since our internal WLAN's security is based on certificates, it's a bit problematic if the image does not include said certificate)
- This one I had to do a soft reset (which does not change anything) after which the boot loader decided to wipe the image for some reason I don't really fathom.
- And the last one has some issues with a .DLL which makes it loop an endless error message
Lest you think that those are special snowflake Surfaces, just today my colleagues asked me why the PCs in our teachers' work room don't show any printers anymore. For some reason, there are currently no printers installed on 6 PCs. It was working yesterday.
I mean, their whole build process must resemble a Rube Goldberg machine - but maybe someone here knows why it should be necessary to modify an image for every single hardware combination?

I need a musical instrument that rhymes with a fish. An example would be harp and carp, but I can't use those two. It's for a book.
-
@CarrieVS In English, most fish have 'fish' at the end of their name, which no instrument I can think of has.
Whale might have something, or maybe yellowtail? But I can't think of any at the moment. Maybe a ray or an eel? Those seem reasonable.

Status: I don't know what my neighbor is grilling for dinner, but judging from the level of smoke coming from their grill I am guessing that a rubber tire is on the menu.

Would bass and bass work?
-
@CarrieVS Off the top of my head:
trumpet/mullet
oboe/piano/doradoless good tuba/tuna
and of course bass/bass
-
Bass the fish rhymes with lass and bass the instrument with lace, so they won't do. I might possibly make something of tuna and tuba.
-
@CarrieVS I wasn't for sure if you needed rhyming, or if perhaps just close association would work.
-
@CarrieVS I've not found a fish that rhymes with an instrument, but I've found a fish with the same name as one: the banjo catfish.

I just want to try to make good looking code also be fast code. If I can do that right, I can write stuff that makes me happy and makes others happy too.
-
@coldandtired None of those rhyme. NONE OF THEM!

@CarrieVS said in The Official Status Thread:

-
@Magus yes they do. For words to rhyme, only the last syllable has to rhyme, and to rhyme, the syllables must have the same vowel and ending consonant (if they end with a consonant) sounds, and different beginning consonant sounds.
trum-pet rhymes with mul-let
o-boe rhymes with pi-a-no and do-ra-do

I'd really like something to contain my production (how little there is), something's that's the opposite of insertable, which would probably be external only.
