Whenever I try to edit a value, it scrolls the table such that only the "Value" column is visible.
Manually resize or double-click the separator in the header?

That only affects the left column ("Name"), not the right one ("Value"). I couldn't determine an obvious way to resize that one.

Try the "separator" on the right side, i.e. to the far right of the header where the next column would start if there was one.

@topspin TIL - you can actually double-click the 2 pixels of the line that separates the field from the scroll bar.
Thanks! (And to the UI designers who came up with that obvious piece of interface.)
-
@cvi It's how all of that type of control (multicolumn listbox/table IIRC) work; the right edge of every column header can be dragged to resize the column. Lots of toolkits do it the same way, and I believe it originated in MFC.
It's horrible.

Eh, you can attach a threadsafe contextual value as an enum implementation member. Not directly, of cours, as a thread-local. And you'll need control of the thread factory, to some degree, to copy it along and manage removal, without a counted reference handy. This gets... different, in an evented context - there you need the value to travel with the monad.
I've been married more than a decade now, as you can probably tell. Unless you thought I was talking about Java.

@Tsaukpaetra My wife used to get so mad at me over things she dreamt I did. She'd wake up in the middle of the night furious at me because of something that happened in her dream. It's your dream, not mine.

My recently wifed girlfriend got upset at me for having a dream where I was doing something unacceptable. I dealt with it with my usual tact, and ridiculed her for it.
Curiously, she still married me later.

@Carnage I do pretty much the same thing. Coming up on 25 years of marriage in June.

I used a 2015 Macbook Air as my daily driver until late last year when I purchased a new Macbook Air to replace it. The keyboard and case on that 2015 Macbook Air still looks almost brand new. Very little wear anywhere. Meanwhile, this new Macbook that I have had for.....I dunno, 6 months? The keyboard on it looks like the one on the 2015 model should and vice versa.
This keyboard is wearing faster than my Dell laptops have. The right side of the space bar looks like I might wear through it in another six months.

@topspin Simple: you have a QWERTZ keyboard, while @Polygeekery likely has a QWERTY keyboard without any äöü.
And perhaps you use less than he does.

I bet the kicker was that topipic where he recently out-@remi-ed @remi. I didn't think it was possible. quote chains is one thing, but that one was probably like that Meshuggah thing - 5 minutes of non-stop dakka, but on the keyboard.

@kazitor Were those cells selected by typing or clicking?

Certainly not by thinking.

Definitely the latter.

Let me guess. Originally, B12 and B11 were in the "normal" order. But then, some one swapped columns in the excel table, and voila, excel adjusted the formulae...

@BernieTheBernie said in WTF Bites:
But then, some one swapped columns in the excel table,
and those colomns would still be B and euh B
even if you swap rows it would still be row 11 and 12 ... it doesn't become 9, 10, 12, 11
Probably because you don't actually swap rows, you only swap row content the rows and columns are a fixed grid.

@Luhmann What a row! But be sure: rowing an excel table is more confusing than columning it.

WTF of my life right now When adding an integration test
a) randomly (but only sometimes) causes other, unrelated tests to fail even after commenting out the added test again! (but only sometimes).
OR
b) works, if you put a breakpoint and immediately hit "resume"you might have subtle monkey business going on. Even though each test is supposed to create entirely new, non-conflicting ids (UUIDs, in fact) and only write/read its own ids.

@Benjamin-Hall you got any mocks around? If stubs are persisting case to case it can do this.

WTF of my day: Insurance companies still seem to be firmly grounded in the last century. Due to a (false) insurance claim against me I'm supposed to send them some photos of my car to show that there's indeed no visible damage anywhere.
So I did take some photos from various perspectives and rounded it up with a complete walkaround-video of my car.
Of course I did not send the whole thing by email (after all, it amounted to ~40 MB) and sent a link to the archive instead.
Just got an email: "Yeah, we cannot click on links. Please send us photos as an attachment." So I sent them 4 random photos. If they want more - they know where to find them.
Also, this email came from "noreply@myinsurer.de" but wanted me to reply to "insuranceclaims@myinsurer.de". Why in the fuck do you send emails from a noreply when I'm supposed to reply, you bloody morons?
Of course I also had to fill out a form. It was the usual "scan to PDF but don't make it usable on PC" crap where you print out the whole thing and then scan it back in again.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, and their webpage where you're supposed to see you data and stuff yields a nice 504.

Why does your insurance have to deal with anything before any claims are deemed valid?
A long time ago (~10 years) somebody claimed I had hit their parked car with my car's door while getting out of the car. The police showed up at my door, asked me about it, I said "yes, I was indeed at that parking spot at that time, and no I didn't hit anything". They checked my car, said something like "well there are some scratches at that height on edge of your door", to which I replied "it's 15 years old and there are tiny scratches over the whole height". I filled in a page of interrogation report and after 8 weeks of not hearing anything about it, I got a letter from the police that the case was dropped due to lack of evidence.

If the opposing side makes a claim against my insurance, they're automatically involved. The way my lawyer explained it to me is that the insurance company then can decide how to proceed. But if there's such a claim I'm required by law to answer my insurance's questions (even if said answers only consist of: "I have no fucking clue." - the pictures I took were to further support my "no clue" comment) I can upload an anonymized version of the explanation from my lawyer if you're interested?

That's about what I'm waiting for as well. Doesn't help that the guy at the police who worked that case seems to have buggered off for a holiday.
