it's not a glitch. I see it in my phone's bookmarks as well. Discourse just likes munging up its favicon for some reason

I'm sure it's just a glitch. Try again in a couple decades.

The enter key on my keyboard designed by Apple in California has started to go unresponsive for minutes at a time. Unplugging and plugging it back does not help.
Maybe it's hackers? Or my Linux PC?

If you pound it too hard it will just be broken, and you'll have to get a new one. So much time and effort...

I thought these ads were just automatically translated, but apparently there's some human interaction still.
Typing a 'p' instead of an 'o' in Miljonär (Millionaire). I'm also trying to figure where exactly in Sweden I can find "Local Area". ("Millionaire mom from Local Area makes 3900kr/h from home")
Also, the iPhone 7 have lost a lot of value recently it seems.
Last I checked, the iPhone 7 cost ~7500kr from the Apple Store, but they're apparently only worth 3000kr now. And here I can even get them for only 5kr! What a bargain!

well, i do love a good pounding, if your alignment is off at the beginning "Going harder until it self corrects" is NOT a pleasant nor acceptable solution.

OH NO A THIRD PARTY NETWORKING SOFTWARE that I don't have IS INTERFERING WITH MY LOCAL DEBUGGER OPERATION that doesn't touch networking at all

@ben_lubar Are you sure your local debugging operation isn't doing some network call over MilwaukeePC? Even if it's only 64 bits that would take all day.

Oh, you didn't know? It's always over the network now, even if it is just localhost.

If my process isn't directly cooperating with a debugger, why would the debugger need the network at all? Couldn't it just do whatever it does in whatever process hosts the server in the process that would hold the client?
It's not like Dwarf Fortress debugging would benefit from more async stuff. I had to rewrite the whole Dwarf Fortress event loop to get rid of that kind of thing.

Methinks you don't know what a debugger is. Processes don't "cooperate" with a debugger....

Because Microsoft.

Either you manipulate the process or you talk to another process that manipulates the process. The network being added is completely pointless since you can just run the syscalls yourself.
-
@ben_lubar said in WTF Bites:

And what's the easiest way to do that while supporting local and remote debugging via the same interface?
Put another way: Which is easier: Supporting COM-based debugging, DMA-based debugging, Syscall-rewrite-based debugging, and whatever-based debugging, or implementing a single interface that does the needful (in your statement, this "another process")?
Put another way: Ever wonder why your Visual Studio projects always create a %myapp%.vshost.exe process that's apparently always running while you have the project open?

@Tsaukpaetra I assumed that, like InedoAgent.exe, it would use shared memory message passing and not some crazy TCP-based thing for talking to its own child processes.

You know what I assumed today? That cancelling a diagnostics session would take milliseconds to complete (after all, all it should be doing is stopping doing things, right?), but no, Visual Studio made an ass out of me and sat there "cancelling" for over an hour before I decided to CANCEL THE CANCELLATION.

Well... I mean, that's one way to ensure that an application is thread-safe. Just have the "client" and "server" threads not share memory, and only communicate with each other through an open port.
(It's kind of how Javascript does it with web workers...)

Some time ago, colleague complained that when running our application under a memory leak detector (Dr.Memory), it shows many leaks from some Nvidia DLL that the application does not link against (it is a console application). And yesterday he complained that more leaks appeared, this time coming from another DLL that was apparently injected by Citrix. He had Citrix client running, but completely unrelated to the application being debugged.
Given that Citrix is a 3rd party networking software, apparently it can interfere with debugging on Windows.
The other option is that it is actually 1st party networking software that does this—sometimes Windows access mapped network drives and if you have one that is not responding, it incurs large delays at rather random places.

@Bulb the actual reason for the slow operation was that my computer had just started up like a minute ago and all my programs were trying to read their data off the disk at the same time.

How the living daylights were you able to launch Visual Studio, launch a debugging session, and then attempt to stop it, all before your computer finished settling?
Heck, opening the solution itself should have taken long enough to let the rest of your apps calm down!
-
@Tsaukpaetra
There's this wonderful new invention called an "Ess Ess Dee", it lets you do work MUCH faster when you start your computer.
-
@izzion That might explain how Visual Studio could be up a minute after start, but not how it managed to be up before most other things, because it is usually the fattest and slowest kid on the block.
-
@Bulb
But it's also probably the first kid in the SuperFetch line, since most development computers use Visual Studio 99% of the time that they're on.

Linux uses the "everything is a file" philosophy. Plan 9 uses the "everything is a network connection" philosophy. Both philosophies have found their way into other programs. Both are dum.

I suppose the developers got caught playing quake on company time, and came up with this as an explanation for what that "quakebot.exe" was all about.

Really, that is as valid an explanation as any.
Reality is that they probably developed a bot that scooped up USGS tweets or info from some other source and reported them as current day, without even considering that maybe....just maybe, the USGS might post something other than current events.

Goddamn it. We just get an email from a user saying that search is not working in Outlook and that it does not find any emails any older than a week. Here is the screenshot they attached to illustrate the issue:
FFS, you fucking retard, right in your fucking screenshot there are items from three weeks ago and also last month. I presume that if you scroll down, there are more. Did this person really forget how to scroll?

Approximately a half an hour ago I replied to their help request with:
"Scroll down"
That was the entirety of my reply. I have heard nothing else about it for a half hour.
We can really only assume that the answer was yes:

Years ago when I was first getting my start and the practice of SEO was not the dumpster fire of corruption and chicanery that it is today, we had a saying:
"What does page three of a Google search and page 300 have in common? No one ever sees them."
I see now that situation has only gotten worse.
-
@Polygeekery said in WTF Bites:
page 300
Often doesn't even exist. Usually only gets to around page 52 before it ends.

Holy shit, you're right. I mean, I never went that far in search results, because why the hell would you?
I am also amused that right there it says that it does not show more than 1,000 results and I asked for results from 999 and it still did not work.
