No, I am just thinking when I used to regularly use Dove. If I remember, I will try.
Give it a shot. You might want to go to a craft fair or something and see if you can get something unscented, too.

If surgery was done the way people do software:
Second most famous case
Amputated the leg in 21⁄2 minutes, but in his enthusiasm the patient's testicles as well.
— [18]Yeowch, I hope they did half off the hospital bill as well.
Liston's most famous case
Amputated the leg in under 21⁄2 minutes (the patient died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene; they usually did in those pre-Listerian days). He amputated in addition the fingers of his young assistant (who died afterwards in the ward from hospital gangrene). He also slashed through the coat tails of a distinguished surgical spectator, who was so terrified that the knife had pierced his vitals he dropped dead from fright.
That was the only operation in history with a 300 percent mortality.
— [23]Well that escalated quickly!

There is no build button. It builds each time the GitHub repo is pushed to.

I've seen things like that when I've done major surgery on a repo to remove a broken commit that the service was building; it keeps asking what the update from a version is, and gets told that there is no such thing, making it very unhappy. Don't know if that's the problem here, but I think it's linked to the fact that git's idea of what a branch is is a bit tenuous.
-
@dkf nope, pretty sure it's a Docker Hub problem, considering it's affecting lots of big repos too:
-
@ben_lubar OK, it's just that the symptoms look very much like things I've seen our Jenkins builds get into in the past. Purging the local checkouts and redoing from fresh (a slow business given the size of the particular repos involved) cleared things in our case.

@kt_ ok, so I decided to try out our city bike rental system once again. I knew it could be a bit shakey, becaus a new company has won the contract this year, but they're gonna be ready only in October or November, so the city decided they'd turn it on nevertheless with the gear and hardware they have from the previous years.
So I took a tram to a stop I knew I could rent a bike. I walk to the station, click a button: "station is in service mode". What the fuck? I just checked
they'retheir website, I checked the news section, all there was was that they're gonna turn some stations off for the International Young Christians Bow To God And Pope Day, the station in at is not listed. There's more: on the map showing bike availability they say there are 5 bikes I can rent. Fuck this, it's probably just a glitch. So I catch a tram and ride one stop further, cause there's a station too. Guess what? "Station in service mode". So I catch a tram for the third time and ride it to another station much closer to where I work and I'm gonna see. Maybe I could rent it only for a mile or so? I really want to burn just a little bit of that fat I've started to grow on my belly. :(

I'm playing Obduction, by the creators of Myst and Riven.
- If I load or create a new game directly, the load screen doesn't go away. The game starts normally, I can hear my footsteps, but I can't see anything.
There's a workaround: in the main menu simply change language back and forth before starting. (what's that got to do with anything?
) - Changing your graphics settings doesn't actually change anything if you then simply go back to the main menu. You have to click "Apply". That's... acceptable. But a warning would be nice, you know?
- Pressing space lets you take a photo (I occasionally forget and out of FPS habit try to jump and take a photo instead). The photograph isn't instantaneous, there's a fraction of a second of delay, for effect, which would be fine but...
space also makes you drop any document you're reading. Want to take a photo of that book page or letter? Instead have a photo of it being put down. - Pressing escape while not in the middle of something opens the game menu, as it should. But pressing escape again, which one would expect to get you back to the game, does nothing.
But, if you select any option from the menu and then press escape twice, it will first go back to the main menu from whatever screen you opened and then back to the game, as it's supposed to.
Except: if you select "Quit" it will prompt you if you are sure and pressing escape then will send you directly to the game. Pressing escape then, will directly reopen the "quit" prompt. And pressing escape then will do nothing. - The photo gallery is horribly broken:
- Clicking a thumbnail can: a) do nothing, b) open a photograph which is completely different from the thumbnail you clicked, c) open the correct photograph (this is rare).
- Broken by design: when looking at a photo you opened, pressing escape or clicking "Back" at the bottom left of the screen takes you to the main menu, not the gallery. To go to the gallery you need to press "Close" at the top right corner. That's not broken broken, but it's very unintuitive. There's no directly jumping between photos, not even using keyboard shortcuts.
- Delete is broken too. Photos I thought I deleted are still around and I'm missing photos I don't remember deleting. Not being able to trust thumbnails it's hard to say what exactly is going on, but I can't find some critical photos even if I open them all one by one.
Other than that, I'm actually enjoying the game so far. It's a little unnecessarily heavy of the graphics card, and so far much easier than the other games, but I'd still recommend it if you're in the market for this type of game. I haven't found any bugs in the gameplay itself, which is what really matters. Just don't expect it to be perfect.

It's also useful in fortran where you can end up with different boolean types (
logicalvslogical(kind=c_bool), plus the GNU extensionslogical(N)for N ∈ {1, 2, 4, 8}). After 15 minutes of googeling, I decided to give up and write the followinglogical(kind=c_bool), value :: arg logical :: bool if( arg ) then bool = .true. else bool = .false. endifIncidentally, if anybody knows a prettier solution to this, I'm all ears.

Oh, I see:
Overriding == operator. How to compare to null?
Possible Duplicate: How do I check for nulls in an ‘==’ operator overload without infinite recursion? There is probably an easy answer to this...but it seems to be eluding me. Here is a simpl...
That is..interesting. My mind expects that comparison to null wouldn't use the override, but obviously it has to otherwise you couldn't special-case null comparisons in your custom
operator ==. Gonna have to reconfigure that bit.
-
@Dreikin I like that you had to search for a link to the website named after the problem.
But yeah, the fix is typically:
public static bool operator ==(SomeType left, SomeType right) { if((object)left == null) return (object)right == null; return left.Equals(right); }

Okay, there's bad code and then there's evil code, and the difference is pretty much whether or not the code wears a stylish cape and has a secret lair.
I think I've mentioned this before (I used it on Ward's Wiki as the basis of the Evil Code entry), but it was a bit different from the cases above: the original was bad, but was the sort of thing the original coder did all the time, so instead of just fixing it, this person (Chalain) made it worse, in a way meant to get the original coder's attention and ire while pointing out how stupid the original was:
A rough equivalent of the original:
// also note that this is in C++, so the // typedef wasn't actually necessary typedef enum { FOO_NONE, FOO_A, FOO_B } FOO; typedef enum { BAR_NONE, BAR_A, BAR_B } BAR; typedef enum { BAZ_NONE, BAZ_A, BAZ_B } BAZ; typedef enum { QAZ_NONE, QAZ_A, QAZ_B } QAZ; typedef enum { QUX_NONE, QUX_A, QUX_B } QUX; // later ... FOO foo; BAR bar; BAZ baz; QAZ qaz; QUX qux; foo = bar = baz = qaz = qux = 0;Chalain's initial pissed-off refactoring of that last line:
foo = (FOO)bar = (BAR)baz = (BAZ)qaz = (QAZ)qux = QUX_NONE;Later, on the recommendation of of another programmer who was in on the joke, he refined this to the even more appalling:
foo=static_cast<FOO>(bar=static_cast<BAR>(baz=static_cast<BAZ>(qaz=static_cast<QAZ>(qux=QUX_NONE))));In explanation of this, Chalain wrote:
This code serves a purpose: I want it to annoy the maintenance programmer that comes behind me. There's a very good chance that said programmer will be the original author, and this code will spark an argument in the break room... which is exactly what I want. If this code made you wince and say, "Ewww, that's UGLY"... then it served it's purpose. Both the original code and the new code are ugly. My code is just more honest/explicit about it.

I am working with a file format containing dump of some data or other. There are different versions of it for different versions/variants/types of the source of that data. Ok, features get added, so the file format needs to get new sections and stuff. But in general it is still pretty similar—it is always a container for collection of some binary blobs.
In the current version, I should support two versions of the format. In those two versions, I found:
- Three ways to store numbers: as little-endian binary, big-endian binary or strings of decimal ascii digits.
- Three ways to store dates: as YYYYMMDDhhmmss ascii string of digits, as Julian day and number of seconds and as number of seconds since some epoch.
As can be inferred from the above, it is not consistent even within one version of the format (it is not consistent in either version, actually).
-
Ah, fuck fortran sooooo much. Consider the following two
functionsproceduressubroutines:subroutine a( flag ) logical :: flag integer :: var = 12345 if( flag ) var = 56789 ... end subroutine subroutine b( flag ) logical :: flag integer :: var var = 12345 if( flag ) var = 56789 ... end subroutineSo, quickly tell me, are these equivalent? Would you expect them to? I sure did. But, alas, no. If you initialize a variable when you declare it, it will automatically apply the "save" attribute (i.e., make it
staticin C-speak, as if it were declaredinteger, save :: var).So, if you ever do
call a( .true. ),varwill always thereafter be equal to56789. Principle of least surprise? Nah, fuck it.
-
as Julian day and number of seconds
Are you sure that's not a fractional day? (Fractional days are weird too, but that's at least cromulent with how Julian day numbers are actually used.)
-
Are you sure that's not a fractional day?
Yep. Absosmurfly sure. It is Julian day and number of seconds since the preceding UTC midnight (since Julian days start at UTC noon).
It is also stored as two separate integers, not as a floating point number (the format, fortunately, does not have any floating point numbers in it).
-
@Bulb OK. And please shoot the creators of that mess on our behalf. It's for your own good. :)
-
@dkf Also, for decoding, I did the obvious way of subtracting the JD of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, multiplying by number of days per second and adding the seconds.
But the encoding (which was already written) first converts the Unix time to split time and then uses the formula
taken from WikiPedia. Including handling switch-over from Julian calendar, which is totally absurd, since the file may never contain timestamp from before the first version of the product was published.
