"I'm sorry, I'll try not to do it again" should work well enough I think ;)
Though I also think your dad over-reacted: it needed nothing more than "Did you know you left your monitor on last night? Please don't do so again."

Edit to the previous FFS: When pointing to an SQL 2016 server, sqlcmd only does Windows Authentication if the DNS name you pass to the -S parameter matches an SPN for the server - it doesn't do ANY CNAME resolution when determining what SPN to look for to allow Windows Authentication.SQL 2008 R2 (and 2005) either actually do follow the CNAME chain or just don't care about the SPN mismatch. Not sure about 2012 or 2014 yet, but kind of a point anyway since the migration target is 2016.

So for some reason I actually bought a box of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes (probably seduced by the sexy tiger on the box).
Oh my fucking god, that thing is just pure sugar! Disgusting. It has to be the most unhealthy thing to ever call itself "food".

I knew that without ever buying it - because Mom wouldn't let us have it! (and I had pretty much the same reaction when I did taste them)

It also contains processed corn and added vitamins so that it will have more nutritional content than the box it comes in.

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:
@Lorne-Kates triggered abilities are those that trigger automatically. They can sometimes trigger at the beginning of turn, especially if the text says "at the beginning of turn".
Thank you for explaining the minutiae of Magic timing effects in response to my post that demonstrates advanced knowledge of Magic timing effects. :/
Well, you don't trigger anything at the end of the turn (or at all, for that matter). You can activate abilities, and those may trigger something else, but triggered abilities don't have any real benefit being triggered at the end of the opponent's turn since they mostly have no cost (aside from the "when... you may pay... If you do..." ones, though pedantically that's not a cost either).
Sorry, goes to @Gąska.

We've always have a number of large whiteboards with various information displayed on them around our team's area. For some time now we've had an increasing proliferation of small, portable whiteboards (which can be carried to meetings) with magnetic backing stuck to some of these.
One of these is our sprint board, with a burndown chart and a list of sprint goals, amongst other information. This sprint, we've changed the format of the sprint goals: previously we wrote the tasks on the board with an estimate of hours remaining. Now, we have a little Kanban board on there, and a supply of laminated index cards which function as miniature whiteboards to write tasks and hours remaining.
We have whiteboards on the whiteboard... on the whiteboard. And now I've typed "whiteboard" so many times that it's stopped making sense.

Status: Chrome just broke all the Internal CA signed certificates:
(tl;dr: Chrome 58 no longer chains back to trusted internal root CAs if the root CA cert only includes a commonName and no subjectAlternativeName because some standard somewhere changed to require that, and now Chrome went all Wikipedia BOLD and just said "hold my beer guys, we're enforcing this standard!")
Edit: though they did include a policy for "EnableCommonNameFallbackForLocalAnchors" that will override this behavior.

@dkf
Well, for the Sha1 deprecation, they committed to supporting the EnableSha1ForLocalAnchors policy until 2019. Not sure what the plan for CommonNameFallback is, I haven't done enough research to find their actual policy on it yet -- we're in "oh gawd someone has us by the short & curlies" mode at the moment...

Status: I now have a 150 line text file containing the condensed logic of an 8000-odd line stored procedure package, and for the moment I feel like I actually understand what the wretched thing does.
This is the parent of the Stored Procedure of Doom I've worked on before and vaguely understand, and in some ways it's simpler but in others it's much more complicated.

Status: I've got a G5. I'm not sure how long I've had it, but at least 1.5 years. The battery is deteriorating quickly. Google results for a new one are … not encouraging. Considering what to do.
I'm going on vacation next month, so short battery time then will be more inconvenient than during normal home/office times.

@hungrier Actually just double checked, and I bought it July last year so I've not even had it a year yet. Why am I having battery problems after less than a year?
I can charge in the car and off mains power at the campsite. But I don't want the hassle of a power bank, and I'm guessing one of them will be useless if the battery decides to die entirely. I've had low temperatures cause failures before.

Cool. Let me scope the WtfCorp roots for a second... Wow, we're actually compliant. Even on the SHA1 roots.

The battery in the power bank? Of course. The one in your phone? Unless it's completely f'd to the point that the phone can't turn on, it shouldn't make a difference.
But IME having the power bank is really useful, especially if you're not always going to be by your car or somewhere with a plug.
-
@izzion It's the leaf server cert that needs the subjectAlternativeName, not the root.
But I can see how you need more time. Your practice has only been deprecated since about 2000.
-
@Greybeard
Someone should tell Microsoft that, since their current CAs are still defaulting to that behavior.Which is where the root of the problem came from -- our new CA (that was built on S2012R2 within the past year) signed its root CA certificate in a way that Chrome barfed on it out of the blue. And unlike the SHA1 deprecation, which they phased in over a few releases, this was a sudden hard-stop on these certificates. Hence my attempt to help other people who may run into a similar issue.
Edit: And scrolling through the Google Groups thread that has exploded now that Chrome actually implemented this, MS isn't the only one that is negatively impacted:
It turns out that CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 ship with OpenSSL configured to generate certificates with only CN, no SAN.
Mozilla's reference guide to server side TLS configuration talks a lot about algorithms, but doesn't even mention subjectAltName:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLSAnd the official response to that post (gawd, why are there no permalinks in a Google Groups thread) comes from someone who is well experienced in the School Of
We did. As you can see on the original announcement, the number of validations affected represent an incredibly small fraction of both users and site operators. It also is exclusively limited to those managing their own PKIs that have not followed the industry standards - as noted, it's been deprecated since HTTPS itself was introduced.
As always, you can help make sure your concerns are surfaced by running earlier versions (Dev, Beta, or Canary), and as an enterprise, opting in to anonymous usage stats to help ensure the impact to your organization is measured.
So basically, " Hey, it's not our fault your company doesn't run Canary and share usage stats with random 3rd parties on the Internet."

Status: So, I wanted to do an experiment which shows diffraction of ultrasonic waves on a double slit. I've got all the devices the instructions manual asks for and the electronic measurement devices should assure that I don't have to take down values manually (and also don't have turn the turntable manually).
Thanks to the fuckheads not including the configuration file I actually have to turn the table manually and don't have their special functions to massage the data properly. This is what it should look like, according to them:
This is what the first run actually looks like:
A lot of duplicate measurements for each x-axis-value. So, after averaged consolidation and a moving average for the remaining data points I get this:
