I won't know until I revisit it. But past a certain cutoff time, not, since before the rule was Discourse, and before Discourse I didn't exist.

That settles it. You must die.

@dkf AFAICT it's got something to do with an incorrectly scoped
print
function being called - supposed to be logging, but because of JS'sthis
semantics was actuallywindow.print
.

Yes, but it's still well screwy that it's getting into that state in the first place.

@pie_flavor I love the in that thread. "but, you can override system functions! Does that make a language bad?!?".

Quickbooks Desktop will allow you to run a virtually unlimited numbers of company files under the same ~$300-$500 expenditure, that realistically you only need to make every 2-3 years.
Quickbooks Online will cost you $840-$1,800/year....per company file.Though QB Desktop is that cost per computer you install the software on, so if you use it for your front register and for the shipping/receiving computer and the back of shop computer your tech uses to write up his repairs, and the AP clerk, and the controller, then you're talking real money that quickly goes past the QB Online cost for a single company file.
Which doesn't answer the objection of having to have a separate subscription for separate files, but hey

@pie_flavor that bug reminded me of one of my favorite frontpage articles ever:
Spoilers.
Pretty much the same root cause - an absolutely retarded feature that has zero usefulness but constantly trips over developers because they didn't anticipate something so mind-boggling could possibly be ever invented, much less actually implemented in commercial products.

Too lazy to look it up to be sure, but I believe that is how it works.

Quickbooks Pro includes 3 users for $300. Premier is $500 for 5 users.
Quickbooks Online, for a package worth using for a SMB is $70/month and includes up to 3 users. $840/year.
You can get Quickbooks Enterprise with 5 users for the same price. I looked it up. It is almost exactly equal in cost. And with Enterprise you get every feature a SMB could want and a fuckload of features they will never use, all for the same cost.
But Quickbooks Online is better, because "the cloud".
Fuck. For the cost of Quickbooks Online for 3-4 entities you could buy Quickbooks Premier for desktop and buy two accountants decent laptops to use when they travel.
For the cost of Quickbooks Online for 4 entities you could probably buy Quickbooks Premier, a HP microserver to run it on, Server 2016 to run Server Essentials to be a remote desktop gateway to their machines when out of the office and buy a laptop for the accountants to share when they need to be out of the office.
In the second year you could spend that $3,360 on laptops for the rest of the accountants and probably have enough left over today for a business class internet connection for the year.
And Quickbooks Online is a feature stripped version of their desktop software that is missing a lot of things you might need.
Intuit reached out to me a few times about reselling Quickbooks Online to our clients. They did not like my feedback.

@Polygeekery
They changed their definition of a User in 2015 to basically be a Device CAL, at about the same time as they were were rolling out QBO.I'll stipulate that I haven't investigated it from a purchasing perspective since that point, but at least at that time the pricing breakdown was definitely such that if you were using real QB as your billing software at a retail computer repair shop, it got really expensive really fast.
-
@izzion well shit. You're correct. Their website leads you to believe that it still includes the maximum number of users for that version.
Fucking cockholes.
Still, you can amortize that cost over three years. Each version is supported for three years, so no real need to upgrade more often than that.
I always found it amusing that their annual subscription option costs the exact same as just buying the new version each year, but if you don't pay the subscription it stops working. The only additional things you get are automatic backups (which I wouldn't trust enough to not do backups on our end anyway) and phone support (which you get 90 days of each time you purchase an upgrade).

Also, FWIW, this is a much better option from what I have heard:

Also, apparently (part of) the issue was known as far back (possibly farther) as Nov 2018:
The only thing "new" is that apparently the web version of mono is

Trying to sync the Fitbit watch with the phone app while not having cell signal. It tells me I don’t have internet connection and refuses to work. Um, you’re supposed to transfer data from the watch to the phone using bluetooth. Which part of that requires an Internet connection?

The part where your data is sent to the US first.

@cvi I’ve already posted about the mandatory cloud sync bullshit (and their forum responses). But they could at least delay that until I got internet connection back.

There's your problem.

The cloud part.
(I'm pretty sure they don't store anything on the phone.)

Turn on for 8 seconds. Turn off for two seconds...

Gotta break some habits. Changed my home office setup and now I have a kvm switch to toggle between my personal and work machines. It uses a shortcut key of double right ctrl. It turns out I do that a lot when editing text. I need to either become a mouse typer or get used to using the left ctrl in combination with the arrow keys.

@boomzilla is it configurable?
Our KVMs use Roll LockRoll LockEnter. Works pretty well, as I’ve otherwise used Roll Lock approximately never in my life.

ctrlctrl Puts it into the mode where it displays one machine on each monitor (or swaps monitors if it's already in that mode).

That's what I meant. The German keyboard has it labeled "Rollen" for whatever reason. Might as well be blank, though.

TIL that Amazon now gives you a downloadable template file customized to your book's trim and page count, to help you lay out your cover and get the dimensions/aspect ratio correct. But if you actually use that template file customized for your title, Amazon rejects the cover because the dimensions are wrong.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only programmer in the world who even tries to be competent.
