I have about 600 square feet of floorspace. I would imagine that's below average overall, but probably not for city centres...
-
Now I'm really curious what is the average size of a house in the FW.
I've got about 3550 sqft. It feels comparable to the house I grew up in.
-

Mine's about 200m2. I live in the suburbs.
-
There is a lot of variation here

Ours too. It is slightly larger than average, but not compared to the sizes of houses being built today.

I was just watching Terminator the other night, too. Would have much for a much different ending if halfway through the final chase he'd just run out of charge and stopped.

Looks like two of them just narrowly escaped from the path of a combine harvester. If that's the way fashion is going then at least I won't have to buy new clothes for a while.

Roughly the same here. Though we are looking for something bigger and more outside the city. Some land and outbuildings.

Condenser dryers are also things.
Not in the US. I suppose they probably exist, but they are so uncommon that I've never seen one, and I had never even heard of them until reading about them from one of you other-side-of-the-pondians here a year or two ago.

FWIW, I looked up specs for a typical (I assume) US residential clothes dryer. The vent system is supposed to handle an air flow of up to 230 ft3/min (6.5 m3/min) at a minimum speed of 1200 ft/min (13.6 MPH, 22 km/h), and a maximum back-pressure of < 0.04 psi. I can't picture any reasonable residential condenser handling that kind of air flow and actually removing a significant amount of water, so I'm guessing your condenser dryers must be significantly different in design from our vented dryers.
-
A condenser dryer doesn't have an air exhaust.

*shrug*
I've only ever owned this condenser dryer which is like 8/9 years old.
I can't easily find the specs for air flow for it, but it Just Works™ and I only need to empty the water container each time the "Empty Water" light comes on and occasionally need to clean the condenser.A condenser dryer doesn't have an air exhaust.
That too, but I assumed that was known.
-
A condenser dryer doesn't have an air exhaust.
Of course I realize that; it's rather the point of the condenser. However, I'm guessing that it passes the heated air through the clothes at a much lower rate than a vented dryer.
I shall now read the article you linked to find out whether it addresses that question, and if so, whether I am right.
Edit: The article doesn't address the question.

First World IT Problem (FWIP): My father says he's flying home from Istanbul, and I wanted to remember where in Europe that is, so I type "Istanbul" into Google's address bar. It takes me directly to the Github repository for Istanbul the code coverage tool.

-
@aliceif yeah, it's way to the southeast, far enough from Brussels to be unaffected, so he shouldn't experience travel delays. No real guarantees he won't experience terrorism, but since he lives in San Francisco, it's not like his home is much safer.

Definitely no guarantees. There's been quite a bit of it in Turkey in recent months. :(
-
@dkf Yeah. I'm choosing to believe the fact that there hasn't been a major incident in over a month means it's safer now rather than that we're due for one >.>
He's sent me gorgeous photos though. He landed in Venice, and went through Croatia, Dubrovnik, Montenegro, and is now in Greece.
-
@Yamikuronue said:

Wait, did those fuckers from Dubrovnik decide to split off and become a state again? Damn it, film one major show there and they get all cocky...
-
@Onyx Lol, that's what I get for blindly reading off the captions of his images.
Ugh, turns out there was another bombing last Saturday at the Istanbul airport. So that's going to be fun for him getting home.
-
@Yamikuronue Well after all, you can't go back to Constantinople!

Sometimes I leave my earphones right next to the laptop fan output. Then I play a 3D game for a while. Then while I'm playing I put them on without thinking.

oh, FYI, he got home safe, in case anyone was concerned.

You can't find that anywhere else in the world.Ever been to London? Not the only large European city with loads of restaurants run by immigrants, but probably the one with the most variety.

@accalia said in The Official First World Problems Thread™:
it's still a linear flow so rebase would work really well, but i'll still take the minor annoyance of the merge commits over risking it with rebase.
In my experience, rebasing a feature branch before merging it into master is a lot easier than merging, especially if you've made a lot of commits. If you merge, you'll just get a huge number of conflicts at once and will have absolutely no idea how to resolve them correctly. Rebase, OTOH, re-applies every single commit, so you get one conflict to resolve per commit you made that conflicts with new stuff, which makes it a lot easier to resolve the conflicts and may even reduce the total amount of conflicting code (fix conflict in first commit -> rest of the diffs apply cleanly).

@asdf said in The Official First World Problems Thread™:

ah. yeah. merge conflicts. forgot about those.... i so rarely have to deal with them either in my day job or my personal projects i forgot about them.....
-
@accalia Unfortunately, the rest of my team doesn't seem to believe in the advantages of a linear history and resolving conflicts via rebasing, so I frequently have to deal with really ugly merges in other people's or shared feature branches :(
I still hope that someday, I might be able to convince them. Or be in a position where I can make that workflow mandatory

neither does my team. they just hate merging so give me JIRA tickets to merge. i get them back for that at the bar regular and this way merging's always done right.
for the personal projects... the sockdevs are all cool.

@accalia said in The Official First World Problems Thread™:

Plus we know what we're doing

I hate merging too, but that doesn't stop me doing it

true. but i won't turn my nose up at free cape cods.

@accalia where do I open JIRA tickets so you do merges for me?
-
@fbmac if you worked for the same company I do you'd know. Otherwise find me at the bar and buy me a drink first.

I think you might have confused merge with "merge".

work gave a mac, now when i use my personal machine i keep doing the gestures and not understandig why nothing happens

I'm not sure why you're detailing your computer-courting failures, TBH.
Perhaps you're not sending the right signals?

I have a Mac at work too (2ndary machine). Keep trying to tap the screen, but nothing happens...

Being that it is a Mac, there are certain ways I'd like to touch it. But IT would probably make me pay for that.

Our CSS guy's mac died yesterday. He's in mourning. Everyone on the team has a Windows 7 machine, but he transferred from Marketing where they get macs, so he's had this huge monitor with the Apple logo on the back in the war room (which is laid out like a U-shape, so half the project team is staring at the back of the other half's monitors all day) as if to subtly brag to everyone. Now he's a webdev so they'll probably issue him standard webdev equipment to replace it.

I was watching a YouTube video when I found myself wanting to check something else, so I paused the video and opened a new window. Once done, I closed the window and resumed the video and... there was no sound.
So I checked whether the video was muted or the volume was zero.
And I checked if the system's volume was zero or muted.I played an MP3 to make sure sound was coming out of my earphones. (it was)
I called the system mixer and checked Firefox's volume, and noticed the little volume meter thingy was moving too.
I trying reopening Firefox.
I tried a reboot, because why the hell not?Nothing worked.
Then I noticed a little something.
A little something that looked like this:
...Turns out the keyboard shortcut for opening a new window —
Ctrl+N
— is pretty close to the keyboard shortcut for muting a tab —Ctrl+M
.And looks like Firefox persists the muteness of tabs between sessions. And it keeps mixing the sound, even if it doesn't output it.
