But used doesn't carry a warranty, may have problems much sooner than new, and likely won't be an induction model. (yes were going Space Age, no it wasn't really my decision).

Just found a hair on my shirt.
I'd be worried if I didn't find hair on my shirt. And pants. And pretty much everything I own. My dog sheds amazing amounts of hair. The dust bunnies are getting a little too big for comfort... RUUUUNNNNN !!!

Status: What the fuck is the Creators Update doing sitting at “12% Complete” in an otherwise uninteractable screen for an hour? (The only thing that I can see is live for sure is the thread running the spinner.) I only set the thing going at all by accident in the first place (because it popped up some sort of dialog in front of the browser where I was clicking; I had just enough time to see that something had been clicked on) so the fact that it's taking ages (with a fast network connection and a reasonable SSD) in a way that I can't see what it's doing (if anything at all) is really irritating.
(Hmm, the mouse still works and so does a screensaver. Ever so useful, that.)

@dkf After 2½ hours sitting there, doing precisely fuck all, I got truly bored and hit the hardware reset button. After the reboot, the update got right on with installing and took about 3 minutes to finish off. Looks like it was definitely stuck.

I had to reboot after Windows started freezing for several seconds every few seconds and blurring my screen.
I think Microsoft discovered a way to force users to apply updates, and that is to make their computer unusable until they comply.
I went to get a snack during the update and came back to the "windows is preparing to reboot" screen, which was followed by the startup thing with the spinny balls, which was followed by 15 minutes of a completely black screen with a mouse cursor. After that, the "WINDOWS IS PREPARING YOUR DESKTOP FOR THE FIRST USE" box appeared in the upper left, and then it disappeared, and I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and logged out and back in because apparently Windows is incompatible with Windows.

QFT. I have two cats and my office chair looks like the sasquatch shaved on it unless I attack it with sticky-tape regularly.
I use a sticky roller thing on myself before leaving home each day too. Cat hair is insidious.

Status: Took all morning to change one short string. Admittedly the short string was causing an independent program to fail a fairly complex database lookup in a way that caused all sorts of bits of program (spread across rather a lot of computers) to explode in weird ways, but it was still just the tiniest of changes that was at fault.

@dkf Is this one of those changes where the source control checkin log is far longer than the diff?

Not this time. I was terse there as part of trying to wind up one of my colleagues. ;)

Status: Changed the data directory in a program's settings and watched as it then migrated all of the data (about a gig of flat files and an sqlite database) from one drive to another while the program remained online and 100% functional.
It then neatly deleted the old directory after itself. No progress bars, no lag, no messages. It just worked quietly in the background and did it. Flawlessly.
Edit: I now have to go back to working with Android Studio which really needs a sad-trombone sound effect built in for when it shits itself for absolutely no reason at all, or the toolbar suddenly goes invisible, or , or....

@magus If people don't get why I posted this, it can, in some cases, cause deserialization to try to deserialize things as the abstract type, and then everything explodes.

Representative line of code I was reviewing...
for (int i = 0; i < (int)array.size(); i ++) { if (somecomplexcondition) doSomething(); array[i] += DoSomethingElse(); }
Yes. All one line. Stop it. Just stop it. And met with resistance when I point out that's not our coding style.

It's a bit sad that working as you'd like seems magical. I think I'll send them an email from my corporate account tomorrow and say how nice it was that it worked so well. I was really expecting that it would fail in some weird way half way through. Somebody obviously put a lot of effort into that feature.

Status: Finally getting around to watching "Rogue One". I am ~25 minutes in and I see a Death Star about to be completed. I hope to hell they don't fire a small missile down the exhaust pipe in to the core again to destroy it.

@polygeekery nah, it,'s a lot darker than that

For fuck's sake.
So last week I ordered some stuff on Amazon.
It vanished in transit. After the requisite waiting period, I had Amazon refund me (not all the items were in stock so it was easiest to refund and reorder equivalents).
So I ordered replacements.
Guess what showed up today?
A GIANT PILE OF PACKAGES!
Both the replacements, for which I have already been refunded, and the originals.
The website doesn't actually reflect the refund, somehow, and so if I try to return the originals, it wants to refund me for them a second time.I guess I'm going to have to talk to a human.

Friend of mine sends me a text in the middle of the day today that starts with "I'm going to delete this message but..." and then goes off about how her 5-year relationship is going nowhere and she wants out, etc.
We talk for a few minutes about her moving out and what I can do to help.
She apparently never got around to that "deleting" bit, and 6 hours later, dude picks up her phone to look at a message I had sent her last week (I asked her to pick something up for me, and she was sending him to do it, and he wanted to check a detail).
YEP. That's happened.

Oh, I can think of a few more awkward outcomes (she lives on the other coast and my helping her move out would be the first time I've ever met this guy, so "not awkward" was never in the playbook) but not many. And I don't think any of them involve me wearing pants.

Of course Help or Show Log aren't clickable, that would be helpful and make sense.

status $deity dammit Quicken!
I have 3 accounts at Chase (well, technically 4, but I guess I never linked my mortgage). Quicken will download all 3 for a while and then just forget one. I then have to go and unlink/relink the online access. FINE. I just won't sync my savings acct anymore (checking and credit card are much more important). I had done that for a while, but after an upgrade put #3 back. It worked for several months. Until a week or 2 ago...

Status: struggling to optimise some SQL so it will run to completion within the 30 seconds the command timeout is set to. Without query plan rights, so trying to infer what's going on from client statistics only
The timeout period is set in code so changing that, while an easy "fix" means waiting for the next scheduled update of the application and I'd like to fix this shit before then, especially since there's a growing backlog of what it needs to process so the time to run is only going to go up

@izzion and it only taking the full amount the first time I run it, because the caching speeds it up massively.
The pain point seems to be a
left join
/is null
anti join on a CTE that links a couple of tables. I've played around with changing it to subqueries and temp tables, and switching tonot exists
ornot in
predicates instead, but there seems to be negligible difference between them.
