.Those are different names for Unit, AIUI; they're names for the singleton set in the underlying base theory. ⊥ is different as it is the name of the empty set; it excludes the possibility of the function returning at all.

@pie_flavor said in The Official Status Thread:
A method is a function with the concept of
this
. It's easy.A method is a function with some notion of its context, which includes
this
but can also include information about the inheritance graph such that other method implementations can be invoked on the superclass of the declaring class. Some languages bind this extra information at method declaration time, and so can pretend thatthis
is just the special first argument to the method, but that's an optimization to take into account the comparatively static nature of those languages.

No, they're not.

in Kotlin means the function never returns. Unit isUnit

@pie_flavor Ah. I misunderstood. Probably should have looked up the terms in your post before replying.

Got back more data, but...
Hmm.... I think I'm going to blame that Windows Defender Update package.

Status: Oof.
That's a pretty sharp increase...

Yep.
Well, you know what time it is!
Fuck off with KB2267602, it's never installed correctly on any of the machines in my house so far.

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
... The fuck?
Oh no, is it redownloading the fucking setup program (and probably the ESD) every time we loop around the Update Pole?
Well. Not like I'm any close to my 300 GB data cap this far into the month. Might as well get a head start!

Late status (I blame PTSD.): So, yesterday I was emptying the dishwasher at work. I picked up a glass, moved it towards the shelf and on the way up lightly banged it against the cupboard door. There was a light bang as the glass hit the door and then I was no longer holding a glass. I looked at my now empty hand going and then looked down at the countertop on which the glass was now spread all over, having made an attempt to return to its original form as sand. The entire countertop having plenty sandgrain sized glass shards, as well as some larger shards where the largest were thoroughly cracked. The cleanup process took some time as we had to make sure to get all the tiny shards of glass.
But yeah, that's the most spectacular way I have ever had a glass break on me I think.

How much were you cut? I've yet to have such an incident without getting at least minor cuts from it…
-
@dkf The most shocking thing: no cuts. Neither from the glass breaking, nor the cleanup process.

Status: my phone is not dual-SIM equipped. So, why do I have two modem indicators?
Have I been hacked?

Might just be the firmware having a bit of a hiccup. I've seen it occasionally on my phone (which has slots for two SIMs, but only actually has one installed).

I think @Tsaukpaetra needs to have his own thread for his on going battles with the Microsoft eco system.

I think he's just a masochist with all these attempts to make Windows 10 work with less than 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage.

This is why command line automation is a tool of the devil, and we should all do things manually via the GUI tool, as the Lord intended.

My liver is already shitting itself.
Speaking of which, I think tonight will be a brandy and Minecraft type of evening. And I really need to find my missing Bluetooth game controller so I can give the Bedrock Edition server/GearVR a shot.
Well that didn't happen. As I was on my way to the grocery store to get a bottle of brandy, my phone buzzed with a calendar reminder for an all-evening event I'd totally forgotten about. So maybe tonight...

status: done with comments pending final edits. Now to spatchcock and roast a chicken.

Well the other dev tried to stick the knife in at this meeting. I was the better man and just decided to let it go. A quite frustrating individual.

The dilemma: is it less work to write a huge ass regex replace, or to manually edit 50 places in 14k-lines-long XML?

@Tsaukpaetra okay, so what exactly are you trying to do with your VM?

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

It's replacing a BIOS-booting VM that provides redundancy NVR for my security camera DVR.
At this point I'm considering switching to a half-baked Linux
productproject.All it needs to do is dump 4+ network streams into mp4 containers and possibly provide real-time monitoring over the Internet (that doesn't require a Windows XP ActiveX control just to view. Yes I have a separate BIOS VM with XP on it specifically for when I have to deal with the DVR itself, which will not be upgraded).

I've got most of my work up for test in time. It was a few bad weeks where I was struggling to get some simple stuff done. I've hadn't done a lot of web development recently, and the Angular 7 fuckery didn't help. I think I hit every fucking gotcha going.
I've had a pretty bad day with the guy I am working with. He took some comments I said that were hyperbolic and represented them without the context or me just having a bit of a moan and expressing frustration. This is the same person that prompted this post
I have made the decision not to let him irritate me from now on. I won't give him any ammunition to attack me with. Management seems to be okay with me. Just need to make the next few days work for me and I think I will be alright again.

@TimeBandit She is a very busy lady tonight. So she is getting away everywhere.
TBH. I am just enjoying a night away from my "Angular NGRX is my life, Angular NGRX is my soul, I AM NGRX".
