Yes, it's changed a lot since Ubisoft secretly purchased the rights. New DF, exclusive to Epic store, of course, is limited to 100 dwarves per world all doing silly dance moves. And I hear full Unicode emoji support is being worked upon.

Tested the VPN I set up at home, and yes, I can now connect to it too so that's all good. So if I ever feel the need to hide traffic from my employer I can use that I guess. Also has a few other purposes for it.

Status: Pain. I did some gardening yesterday. One thing about living in an apartment is that gardening consists in large part of carrying large, heavy bags of
dirtpotting soil up stairs and dumping them into large, heavy containers. My back would prefer a deck without flowers, herbs, tomatoes and strawberries, and is making its preference known every time I move. Or don't move.Also, at Home Depot, everything has a California cancer warning label, even edible culinary herbs, tomatoes, strawberries, everything. With absolutely zero information, just the URL of the state Proposition 65 website.

Well, it's all happening on client. I discovered it's not a threading issue after all. A sample of what's going on:
Doesn't work unless you do it one-fingered:
if (UTradeLogItemWidget** widget = TradeLogMap.Find(item)) //TMap finding apparently fucks up? { TradeLogWidget = *widget; }
Works fine:
for (auto i : TradeLogMap) { if (i.Key == item) { TradeLogWidget = i.Value; break; } }
Guess I just have to use the longer version. I doubt it will matter performance-wise. It's only being called when an item updates due to user clicking on a button, and even that's being hidden by a blurry throbber.

Aside from being blurry, the list on the left could easily be the same items in the same order.

@Tsaukpaetra If the map does not consistently correctly return the item, doesn't that mean the map is probably corrupt?

I never heard of a Linux distro that doesn't create random files all over the place. Which one do you have?
I knew the purpose of it, it didn't have one.
Have you witnessed its creation? Have you verified that the thing that created and/or made use of it ceased to exist?
Windows deleting the folder I wanted to keep is entirely Windows' problem. And I'm sticking to that.
And Linux symlinks are just fine?

@GÄ…ska said in The Official Status Thread:

CentOS, it's pretty tidy. Some programs like to spaff files everywhere. But that happens on windows too, most of my drives have a copy of the VC++ redist on the root because of some crappy installer.
@GÄ…ska said in The Official Status Thread:

I'm fairly sure if you delete a linked directory, only the link gets deleted not the target folder.
I've just tested a soft-link on this Windows machine and that's what happens, the link is deleted but the original folder remains. So, I haven't got a clue what was happening here.
-
@Cursorkeys my guess is symlink, but the other way around. I'm not really familiar with Windows internals, but it's possible that this SERVER~2 thing was always there and, it just had a super-secret-mega-hidden-very-system-file attribute set to prevent you from seeing it, but somehow it lost it- and Server Information has always been just a facade.

@PleegWat said in The Official Status Thread:
@GÄ…ska
SERVER~2
reads like an 8.3 mangling of something longer.IIRC, there's this "intended" behavior that if something not-long-filename-aware asks for the name of a file, the filesystem/OS creates a "shadow copy" of the file/directory with the 8.3-mangled name. The bug would be that one showing up in the file manager instead of staying hidden except when something old asks for it. So an old program might have asked for
SERVER INFORMATION
, the OS producedSERVER~2
(a "fake" copy) and then it stayed visible from the file manager. Same file, no extra disk space, just 2 records with different names.

Status: My new headset arrived yesterday. Steelseries Arctis Pro Wireless. I probably spent way too much for a headset, but hot damn is it a good one. Wireless (both 2.4GHz from the transmitter box and Bluetooth direct), supports direct wired AUX connection to other devices, removable battery (with a spare that charges in the transmitter box) that's supposed to have a ~10 hr life. Holy hell is it noise-cancelling as well. I can barely hear the outside world when wearing it. Haven't tested the microphone in it, since I use a Blue Yeti mic for my PC.

@PleegWat said in The Official Status Thread:

it consistently returns the correct item if I don't interact with the UI until it's done the full cycle (i.e. One at a time). But if I click one and immediately click another, it fucks up.
-
@Tsaukpaetra sounds like race condition. The
Find
method might be doing some internal caching that becomes invalid when you modify the container. Are the elements inside the container tied to UI in some way? Is it possible to only do lookups outside UI runs?

Is it possible to only do lookups outside UI runs?As far as I can tell a cache (if it exists) would only be on the UI widget holding the reference while being interacted with. How that interacts with a map it's supposed to only be reading from (actually, no, it doesn't even know about the map, I lied) is probably the issue.
I think what's actually happening is come. Some kind of locking (somehow) that prevents the map from finding when the UI is currently holding onto the reference? But that's not affected when iterating the same?
Who knows....
