Status: Going to generate and parse some... XML. From C code.
-
-
XML defaults to having an order. Really. It's the document order. You might decide to ignore that order, it might not matter (and you might even have a schema that says this), but it's there.
-
Going from memory here, but I'm fairly sure that if you attempt to parse XML with Perl any ordering implied by the document is discarded as the document is converted into a series of nested hashes...
-
definitely is is just old Perl plain stupid. that TRWTF. Well

God Dimwit.
If you click and hold on the Windows(7) Shut Down button and then, after realizing it was a misclick and you actually wanted to click on Sleep within the cascaded menu, release the mouse button over the arrow - the computer still begins to shut down.
That's my status.
-
That reminds me of something that annoys me a little in Win7:
Having to let go of the right mouse button in order to see the right-click menu in some programs.
Or having to let go of the right mouse button and then click to select an item in a right-click menu in some other programs.

x_zell = x_zell + Cellbreite - 25 + 25
Cellbreite is a Denglisch word for "Cell Width"/ "Zellbreite".
-
Having to let go of the right mouse button in order to see the right-click menu in some programs.
To be fair, a 'click' is 'press and release'
-

As opposed to...?
Isn't that how the mouse has always worked? The only way that sentence makes sense is if you're saying some programs don't respond to the contextual menu button on the keyboard... but you're typing that backwards and upside-down. Because you always have to release the mouse button to pop-up the contextual menu, when you're using a mouse.
And BTW we're not 4-year-olds, you can type the word "contextual". There's nothing in that menu specific to the right-mouse button, except that happens to be the default mouse button that opens it.
-
-
... how it works on my Linux install.
Oh. You could have just typed, "contextual menus on Windows aren't fucking broken like the ones in Linux." Would have saved everybody time and confusion.
BTW this is why bug reports always have a section, "what you expected to happen", because we're not fucking telepathic.
-
It's not a bug, it's me baiting you.
Anyways, I should run off to LINQpad's bugtracker and paste your post in there.

Status: Noticing that new posts load with the title and long name since the update.
It's a little thing, but good to see it's been fixed
Rebake after editing's still borked though.
-
To be fair, the entire button looks pushed it, whereas if you just click and hold the arrow, only the arrow looks pushed in

How's that a wtf?

wtf
Not a wtf.
I would have called it a wtf if I thought it was a wtf.
I said:
@aliceif said:annoys me a little
In other words, not a wtf.

Status: Tried to be a nice person and use my big 4WD diesel pickup to free a little car that slid off the road and got high-centered on the median, but it was some new car where everything was plastic and aluminum and we could NOT find a safe anchor for a tow strap.
Also, Priuses everywhere. Mostly in the ditches.
-

There's normally an opening in the bumper where you can screw on a towing eye; it'll be covered by a small plastic disc.
-
I'll remember that next time. In the past I've just looped around an axle but we couldn't even get to one.
-
I'm assuming it was a FWD car? If so, the rear axles are probably only about six inches long. And I wouldn't want to be attaching a tow strap to a stub axle.
I'd have no issue doing so with a front axle though, given it's got to deal with the engine torque. However, modern cars are so tightly packaged, it's a wonder anyone can get to anything without removing half the car. And I'd be worried I was actually mistakenly towing on the steering arm, not the axle.
-
I assume it was FWD. I didn't see a traditional rear axle at all, but it was hard to tell with the muffler and gas tank in the way. And the front end had a plastic skid plate covering EVERYTHING from the bottom, so who knows what was in there.
-
It's very rare nowadays for a FWD to have a full-width rear axle; they use stub axles instead. That way, the boot floor can be lower.

Status: why is my trashcan on my desk?

How about grab the car's manual out of the glove compartment, where there's a nice diagram showing exactly where it is?
Sometimes I wonder about the IQ of people on this forum.
-
Because there were 5 other people trying to help and I had to get to work?
-
Ok well your post made it sound like you never even thought of just looking it up, like any reasonable person would.
I'm just reading the words on the screen.
-

Assuming the owner left it in there/the car came with one in the first place.And to pre-empt the inevitable: yes, you can get cars without handbooks. They'll be on used car lots; the original owner could have lost the handbook.

What do the XML specs say about preserving order? I thought that part of having a series of elements in any XML doc was that the order didn't matter.
-

That seems to be the only interpretation which allows Perl's behaviour to be in spec.

Maybe Perl is expecting a more verbose schema.

Possibly the opposite of that.

That depends on the schema.
-
Yeah, check a few posts up.

Currently craving shrimp.

This SO answer tells you all that you need to know about Perl developers and XML:
If you care about the order of the items (and you probably shouldn't have to since any decent XML format will include an attribute that tells you the order)

I've noticed that certain ones are off-limits. Especially when the mods are (literally) Jews.
-
The thread was "What kind of milk do you drink?" Whole, 2%, skim, etc. I said I only drink milk from your mom. Just a stupid Your Mom joke. Apparently someone took it personally and their code of conduct requires bans for personal attacks.
I thought it was mild. The normal flavor of off-color jokes over there (forum identity hidden to protect the guilty) are ones I do not want to repost here from an account easily traceable to my real-life identity.
-
There's no need for a full axle anyway as it'd need a diff to allow the wheels to turn at different rates.
No FWD I've ever paid attention to has a full rear axle. Some'll have torsion bars maybe you're thinking of those, but they can do that without protruding into the boot space.

Status: As I was getting close to finishing one task, I sent my boss an email asking for clarification on my next task. His response? "Let's meet to discuss it tomorrow."
I now have nothing[1] to do while at work for the next two hours.
[1] Well, nothing work related.
