Wondering WHY THE FUCK BlueTooth doesn't seem to work on these Intel Compute Sticks.

Status: is OneCore?
intos teh Googles
The "Windows OneCore" reference could suggest that Microsoft may launch the next version of the OS as "Windows One", much like how they named the third version of the Xbox console the Xbox One.
So, we're going back to this then?

Btw, I thought it would be "how many living things with gender have you and your roommate(s) ordered?"

Status: Moderately horrified as I look through Arby's website menu and the nutritional information on it. Though on more considered thought, that explains a lot about why I'm losing a pound a week since I switched from "eat out twice a day every day" to "eat out for lunch on work days and eat at home for dinner and weekend meals" -- my home meals are more in the 700-800 calories range, and "value meals" at restaurants are 1000-1200 calories minimum (1200 for me, since I'm not a diet pop drinker).

@izzion said in The Official Status Thread:

You obviously earn too much
-
@izzion At the beginning of December, I switched wholesale from sugary soft drinks to diet sodas. Three months later, I was two stone lighter.
I also exercise more and eat less crap in general, so it's a number of factors. Still, I did drink a lot of sugary soda.

@Jaloopa
More that I'm single and don't have to spend on anyone but myself. But yes :P #fwp

@thegoryone
Yeah, that's what I was figuring - my normal sandwich at Arby's is 650 calories, the small fries is 410, and a 21 oz Dr. Pepper is 260. And even when I go "healthy" to go to Subway, I add 2 cookies (at 250 calories EACH!) and the pop to a 450-600 calorie 6" sub. Or back a few months ago I would even do a full foot long plus the sides :wince:It's way too damn easy to lose track of what you're eating in a fast food joint.

@Maciejasjmj I have it, but didn't like it very much. I also have their Transformers game, which is godlike awesome. Which is why I'm interested.

@thegoryone said in The Official Status Thread:
@RaceProUK Five years ago I'd have drank nothing but fizzy drinks (Probably ~1L a day) and weighed about 15st. Now I probably drink 2L a month, mostly low sugar cordial or coffee with sweeteners instead. I'm barely under 14st.
I just eat too much food. I guess at least a BMI of 26 beats a BMI of 29.
Weren't there some studies around which suggest that a light overweight is actually good for life expectancy?
-

I've frequently heard of such studies, but I've recently heard that the finding has been debunked by a new study. I have not examined the research in either case so

You just gotta love nutritional science.

At least nutritional science is slightly better for your health than aperture science...

No, overweight means you weigh too much. That's literally the definition of the word. I think the studies you're thinking of concluded that we need to stop using BMI to determine who is overweight.

@NedFodder BMI is a terrible measure for those outside the 'average', as it were

I realised this sneakery last time my plane was delayed. Pushed back like 200 yards closer to the taxiway and was classed as "departed" despite sitting there for 40 mins.
Also Schiphol airport, oddly enough.

Status: Tests in this project are to the point where the mocks are so heavy that I'm not sure they're testing anything useful.
In the last one I looked at, I was able to mock out the database access and make everything else concrete. Here, some of the dependencies seem to be better hidden.
Whoever designed this liked the idea of 'depend on abstractions, not concrete objects', but designed the composition root in a way that makes it impossible to break in and replace just specific layers.
If you're going to try to follow SOLID, the least you can do is understand why you're doing each thing and not just blindly staple things together and stamp SOLID on it because you hit the major points: if your software isn't easy to mess with afterward, you are a complete failure and an embarrassment to this industry.

@wharrgarbl Have fun with that. I'm going to write good software.

Status: So I prepared a pupil-run experiment for tomorrow which involves using USB-connected devices to measure the location for a given time and thus velocity.
Given the fact that the software for those devices is not user-friendly (and I'm still not done creating my own version), I created an empty template the pupils simply had to load by double-clicking the file and every setting (i.e. cryptic stuff like "trigger when location s above 0 and ascending", "measure s inverted" and similar stuff) should be where it is.
Only snag: The trigger I spoke of above? That one only triggers when
location s = 0
. Which is not a problem because there's a button among the settings which resets the measurement to 0 (because the value may not be zero from previous measurements or simply from moving the device while setting up).But this settings panel helpfully disappears when loading a preset file.
So, you have to right click on a value display to get that back (well, there's a "Open settings" button but that one opens with everything else minimized so you have to hunt for the right tab).
Who thinks that pupils should use this?
