@Gąska To ensure that nie jesteś robotem, clearly.

@pie_flavor upvoted for correct conjugation
Poland stronk!

@Gąska I know the conjugations of być, and the phrase pierdol sie. I assume they'll come in handy someday.
-
@pie_flavor pierdol się*
inb4 pierdol się
-
@Gąska I can't figure out how to enter that character on US-INTL.
-
@pie_flavor you can google "Polish e" and copy-paste from there.

But you'll do almost exactly the same thing in order to use Unicode emojis?

@djls45 see, works fine.

@djls45 Nope. +.

So, the normal ending.

But I guess I could do it, the episode is free.
And now the promo is over, it's not even -80% free like it was before.

No need to go that far.
Here, I copied from your other post: ę

If Wiktionary is to be believed, it means "soul" in Hausa language
and something very different in Polish.

@Onyx What's wrong with using username for the salt? By my understanding, the salt is used to thwart rainbow table attacks against naked passwords, meaning that pretty much anything will do. As long as the salt is there, whether it's the username, timestamp at sign-up or whatever else, the hash for
hunter2 + salt
won't match whatever's in the rainbow table.

I never got it. I decided to live and let all the other fuckers die.
Guess I should teach you guys something about making life choices.

@topspin It annoys me how the plate that's clearly facing forward launches you sideways. It should send you up through the roof or onto a hidden plate on the other side of the room.
Also, I briefly misheard "little idiot" as "fuckwit" just then…
And a fun fact: if you shoot the wrong portal underneath you, it actually switches the other one around so you don't come out into the pit. I feel Portal 2 holds your hand a little too much with respect to placement helping and so on.
-
@kazitor You do get killed if you don't trick him, and you get an "the part where he kills you" achievement for it (because that phrase didn't appear often enough yet).

I think it makes Portal 2 better because it tries not to break the flow of its own story. They actually did the portal swapping in a number of places where playtesting showed that people under the pressure of imminent death would pick the wrong portal color and plummet to their death.
@kazitor You do get killed if you don't trick him, and you get an "the part where he kills you" achievement for it (because that phrase didn't appear often enough yet).
I've already got that achievement so I can't really test, but I thought that you get the achievement soon after the words are spoken and the title shows up, or maybe even right after you escape.
The funnier part is where you escape and he then asks you to "please just jump into that pit over there, will you?", continually making more promises of what you'll encounter.
That will also give you the following achievement:
Pit Boss
Show that pit who's boss

It is passwordless in the sense that the service provider is not handling any passwords, which means there is much less opportunity to screw the security up there. It might be completely passwordless, you just have to activate the token—after all, you don't have password for your house keys and nobody seems to mind either—or the token might still require some password or pin for higher security use-cases, but only the token maker has to make the security right and not every service provider.

You don't need to die - you get the achievement when the sequence starts, and you're free to run away.

I think it makes Portal 2 better
I find Portal 1 to be a cute game mechanics demo, sold as a complete game for outrageous price, and Portal 2 to be bland, boring, forced and stupidly easy.

It was released as a free bonus to Orange Box. That you could buy it on its own in Steam store is just for orthogonality and wasn't the main means of distribution.
-
@Gąska And?
-
@Gąska Wasn't Orange Box itself discount-priced? And the later standalone release of Portal as well? I don't recall but I don't think it was ever more than $20, which is well worth it.

It's been a while, must have misremembered.

@Lorne-Kates said in WTF Bites:
Yes, if you search for a YouTube video and attempt to play it, the app stops recognizing Bluetooth speakers
Why does the app care anyway? Shouldn't it just play sound to wherever, and the OS figure out if it should use the built-in speakers, bluetooth, or some headphones connected to the
3.5mm jackipad cable to USBC to HDMI into your Bose surround receiver with a couple stripped wires hanging off it wrapped loosely around the 3.5mm plug on your headphones, yes this is the simplest and most straight-forward way ?Yes. It should. It doesn't. That's why it's in this thread.

Am I dumb, or isn't the plus sign supposed to stop Google from including results without that term?
-
Neither. You just remember a time where Google queries were handled as actual queries, not just suggestions*. I think the only thing that still works is using quotation marks around the important keyword.
*Some belt-onion-wearing people even say that a long time ago, some search engines allowed you to use boolean expressions. Can you imagine that?
-
@Zerosquare The way to specify required keywords might change twice daily, but I thought that
-keyword
at least still removed stuff.

Still can, if you roll your own...

WTF of my day: So, I'm still doing that Flutter thing and one of my requirements is to upload a photo to a website. No worries, read the bytes from the file, base64encode them and shove that over to the site via POST. At least that's what a number of people recommend for doing this in Flutter.
This works just fine on Android on a Pixel. Under iOS and an iPhone X?
Not so much. In fact, when I invoked the upload routine I first thought the app had crashed / was hanging because it simply didn't respond to anything anymore. And, no, it wasn't a "block while uploading" or something. Base64encoding seems to take ages under iOS - it took two minutes for a 3MB picture...

Our app starts with a login dialog before the main window comes up. An OEM decided they wanted to start that full screen from their launcher. We do everything to prevent the user from resizing - no resize borders, disable maximizing, etc. Well,
SetWindowPos
will allow someone to resize your fixed dialog. So now it's our bug that the controls don't move around properly.

It used to. Now you surround it in quotes.
