No, but given the website in question, do you really think they're doing that?
ASP Classic? Sure, why not.
Edit2: Yes, the whole damn page is a form.
you know whats amazing about ASP classic? javascript was a supported language for server side code. But I've never seen any ASP pages coded that way. js obviously has its own quirks but holy shit it's leaps and bounds better than classic VB.

Well, IIRC technically any program that accepted IO and could be registered as a handler would be supported. It was basically one step forward from CGI...

Twitter! How much did the Clinton campaign pay you to display these psycho drumpfshits?
Now I have to donate to Hillary again! they do not even need that!
Seriously either the data scientist in charge of Twitter's ads is a total wacko, or he will quit after this election and live like a millionaire with ill-gotten moneyzz

TIL that an Outlook add-in called Suggested Meetings exists, and apparently it got turned on in yesterday's update. Why does this exist? Why would Outlook think I'd want to attend a meeting that I haven't been invited to? I don't even want to attend most of the ones I have been invited to.

It's an easy way for managers to quickly create meetings to fill their calendar instead of doing actual work.

The only good addin would be called Slayer and would auto-reject any meetings not on a white list.

plugin that would do the same for them?

With a name like that, auto-retaliation against the meeting organiser would seem to be the most desired feature…

@Tsaukpaetra said in WTF Bites:
What is wrong is expecting them to filter results at all by whether your device profile matches, at least not until the page is showing.
Why? Do forums display all topics being searched for regardless of what permissions you have until you click on them?
I don't think this is unreasonable at all!
All an App store is is a specially formatted forum software after all.
I wouldn't mind if it was a togglable option.
Maybe I'm searching on my desktop, and want to find an app that I'll install on my phone later.
Or maybe I'm searching on my phone, because I'm going to buy a better phone, and want to know if the app is compatible with the new phone.

Not quite sure where to post this, it could go into both Good Ideas or Bad Ideas, so I'll put it here instead.
IncludeOS / Brief Overview / Features
Essentially, a minimal bootloader + kernel infrastructure + support code to run a single C++ "process"/service in ring0 of a virtual machine. You get the fun of modern C++ and of being in ring0. It appears to aim at cloud/web services, so what could possibly go wrong?
It may sound insane, but I have to admit that it sounds like my kind of insane.

So my university has a system to access all the research papers and other documents they've published. You can filter by date, by author, etc, but there's also an option that says "filter by topic".
Clicking takes you to a list of "topics" so you can pick one, except there are approximately 160,000 of them. For 80,000 publications. So it would take you half as long to just browse all the documents directly than to browse through their categories. And there's no way to sort them by number of publications, it's always by alphabetical order.
They have obviously been automatically extracted from the documents by some script, since they include things like
(0,1 x 1,X) Education, Cooperative.,h uman h ealth r isk a ssessment(those are newline characters somehow), and of courseX-RAY,x-rayandX-raysince it's case sensitive.I know that categorizing 80,000 documents is hard, but come on, that's literally useless.

So I looked up the Windows Store. First time I ever tried to use it.
I'm thinking with all the extra time I have that I might try to resurrect my writing properly - and since commuting is no longer an issue I'm looking at writing tools on Windows.
So I went to the store, found a few things.
Clearly something bizarre happened. I've spent 15 years being a web programmer and forgot about system architecture. What is X86 ARM? I thought these were two completely different types of CPU, not just like Intel and Intel-knockoff (since this isn't 1998 and we're not doing Intel vs AMD vs Cyrix x86 derivatives)
Maybe it was missing a slash between the types?
"X86 / ARM required"

If so, then I guess "required" is an architecture, which is true, you do need architecture to run an app.
I think we have our answer!
A winner is us!

Sounds like a CRIS. They're a thing, and they're usually awful to use because their developers don't think usability by ordinary people is a priority. I wonder which stinking pile of
you've got…I know that categorizing 80,000 documents is hard, but come on, that's literally useless.
Is it PURE? That sounds very much like PURE. I loathe it. Every academic I've talked to in the university loathes it. The technical advice given to the research management committee was explicitly “avoid this at all costs, it is that awful to use” so guess what they purchased…

@anonymous234 said in WTF Bites:
According to the about page, it uses DSpace
OK. That's one of the few things that PURE does integrate with, mostly to try to take over from it. (We used to use DSpace. It wasn't liked at all…)

No, Google, I don't think you can call this a "new album by David Bowie". I don't think David Bowie will be putting out any new album in the foreseeable future.
They're not wrong, though:

That reminds of the time, many years ago, when my company conducted a survey to decide which source control system to use. The result was "please not PVCS", so they showed the results to the vendor and got a really good discount on PVCS.

Doing a build to production on Friday before a 3 day weekend.
Starting a new production run (chemical plant, different kind of 'production'), at 9pm, on Friday, on a 3 day weekend, of something we've never made before except in the lab, on new equipment we've never used before, that they just finished installing yesterday.
Because the salesman promised the customer we could ship the finished product in 6 weeks, because it should take 6 weeks to produce the amount they want, assuming everything goes perfectly, except it takes 6-8 weeks just to get all the raw materials from various suppliers around the world, and now people (not me, fortunately) are being yelled at for being 2 months behind schedule.

Status: Told FreeBSD to install gcc or something. Apparently I already have it installed. Or something.
Wait, which one are you installing? 4.8.5_1 or 4.8.5_2? ??? !!! ?!?!?
FFS I was told it's easy and painless to install anything on FreeBSD thanks to the awesomeness of Ports, but so far every time I go to do anything at all involves several hours of runarounds and fuck-yous.
Even PKG-based packages (
) are somewhat broken and rife with issues such as "the maintainer didn't set sane defaults and so I can't use the pkg version anyways".

@FrostCat I think there is a misunderstanding here. Yes, the Unicode characters are rendered in all browsers, but they aren't converted into colored emoji (unless you're on FireFox or something).
So recently I noticed that Chrome on Windows 10 renders emoji using Microsoft's emoji set.
Interesting.

@bb36e Yeah the discussion I replied to was specifically about how only FireFox supported it at the time, I was adding to it that now months later Chrome has support.
