Not only does it not really stay signed in (given how often I get this dialog), but clearly "don't show this again" works exactly like your checkbox (i.e. it does not).
My mileage clearly varies. a) it does not keep asking me and b) it keeps me logged in basically all the time until the password expires in half a year everywhere.
Your mileage is highly dependent on the settings your Azure Active Directory administrator configures. The AAD admin has control over maximum possible sign-on length, and depending on settings the reprompt will either be a "your admin requires you to confirm your password periodically" or a full re-sign in prompt. In general, the larger the organization (and thus the more likely it has a security team), the shorter the allowed time period for Azure to remember your sign-on.

new VS 2022
Fortunately I've managed to do without the Visual Shitio for a couple of years now.

you never specified how long they should remember you for.
Meanwhile, Facebook never forgets you. I logged in on a friends machine, did not tell it to remember me, did not have the browser remember my password, and 2 years later I'm still signed in. Obviously they care about security.

@dcon … one of the reasons Firefox got the special Facebook container tab.

The infinite login is in Edge. (Tho, come to think of it, can't remember the last time I logged in on this computer [FF] either...)

Me neither, I don't do that sort of thing.

Thanks for showing it on the front page in my region then.

No. I don't think it was.
Edit: Narrator: It wasn't.
Methinks the server has a full disk...

@Tsaukpaetra You mean the server that has a most recent alert of "[SM]ART errors"? I think it has a couple of shiny glass plates with some rust next to them.

No, this is the monitoring appliance thingy that I've selected the view of a server that has S.M.A.R.T. errors on to see what else is going on.
It's a PC sitting in someone's house serving as cloud backup.

status: I was wondering WTF was wrong with YouTube.
I then realized it was a #shorts video that was playing in the kinda-foreground on the hardware-accelerated video canvas (so I assume).
Wasn't fixed until I killed and relaunched YouTube.

For once it's not a but rather a

UI bite.I went on the ICRC (= Red Cross) website, their donation form asks you for personal details (for the receipt & tax relief, I assume (and also so they can spam later, presumably)), here's how it looks before you fill in anything:
Nice little touch from the devs here.

Had to look up who that was, but yes, a very nice touch.
-
@dkf IMO that's part of why it's a nice touch. If you don't know the name it's unusual enough (e.g. not John Smith) that you can be tempted to look it up and learn a bit more about him. So nice and educational!

This is why I use
Jacques du Molay
as the example username whenever possible.

Maybe the log-on function is tied to rapid rise in CPU temperature

SAP ...
After just a few months exposure I'm not surprised anymore. I give a few more before I go numb about it ... Acceptance is scheduled before the end of the year.
-
a few months exposure
in this period I acquired a (paying?) login to some official stuff but I circumvented getting an actual login to any SAP system so far ... one of the perks of being lead ... I don't have to do any actual work just make sure others are doing theirs

I guess the South-East Asia server farm is actually an old PC in @Tsaukpaetra's basement.

@Zerosquare That's roughly 24 days. I think at that point I'd begin thinking about carrier pigeons.

@Zerosquare Hurry up! By making it take one single millisecond longer, it will be

, thus inventing the time machine!

Randomly stumbled upon this GUI library for Qt. Might just be someone's personal project and not actually used by anyone, so maybe doesn't qualify for mocking, but still... Designers gonna design.
What trippy mess is that? It's cool that you can but I don't think you should.
Also, CAPTCHAs in client code don't make sense.
-
@topspin I'm disappointed that scrollbar doesn't cause horizontal scrolling, including the rubber band oscillations.
-
-
But doesn't Qt already having docking widgets?
It does.
Maybe this one has extra features? Since I can't read it I couldn't tell.
-
This one seems pretty useful:
Only if you're building something as complex as an IDE (in GUI terms). Anything much less than that shouldn't touch that style.
-
@dkf My first thoughts went to "event monitoring cockpit", but yes.
-
But doesn't Qt already having docking widgets?
It does but they are intended to be arranged around a central "main widget." So at a glance I would say that this effect can be achieved just by hiding that "main widget" plus maybe a few hacks for styling, i.e. with relatively little code.
But I can still see why it could be useful in some cases, or even just as a fun (?) thing to play with (like the scrollbar).
ETA: that seems to be the case with most (all?) other widgets. For each one, at a quick glance and being familiar with Qt I can imagine how to do that with relatively little effort. But that could be seen as showing Qt's versatility!

V2.

@topspin While I'm not sure "Facile" is the right adjective (FacileMenu), TIL the word "Sapid".

Look! An actual improvement. You can select neither and the stupid shit actually goes away.

(UI doesn't have to be "G", right?)
Using CMake, I made a typo in one of many file names passed to
ADD_LIBRARY()
. I wroteADD_LIBRARY(foo STATIC foq.cpp bar.cpp <...>)
instead ofADD_LIBRARY(foo STATIC foo.cpp bar.cpp <...>)
.I got a very helpful message, namely:
CMake Error at foo.cmake:42 (add_library): No SOURCES given to target: foo
No sources? No sources? No SOURCES!?! Morons.
Somehow the worst thing is that none of the search results seem to mention that, so not only did I lose time because of a stupid typo (would it have killed them to say "invalid file foq.cpp"??), I lost even more time because I got led through all sort of various wild-goose chases.
-

I don't see any sources in
foo STATIC
\n either

"Sapid" is the same as "sipid", which is the opposite of "insipid". The word "insapid" does not exist, which is stupid.

@Zecc thanks for the instupid post

UI Bite of my day (so far) (other than the product I work on, which has its fair share)--
I received an invoice via Intuit Quickbooks. They allow you to pay by bank draft/EFT. Which requires sticking in the routing number (allows copy/paste), the account number (allows copy/paste) and requires you to confirm the account number. Which...wait for it...does not allow copy/paste.
Come on people, typing in a long (mine's 12 digits) number by hand increases, not decreases the chance of screwing things up. Especially for someone like me who has issues with reproducing strings of digits in the correct order already (like the (wrong) perception of dyslexia as reversing letters, but actually and for digits). Especially when I'm tired or stressed--Give me a 4 digit number and I'll
- read it correctly
- say it out loud incorrectly (reversing the middle digits usually, sometimes just completely scrambling the order of everything but the first digit) about 30% of the time, 80%+ if stressed or tired
- type/write it down completely differently than I said it.
-
@Benjamin-Hall IBAN actually has two checking digits included in the account number. I'm confident that's more effective than having people copy over the account number from the first into the second field.

BTDT. With a phone number. Realized what I'd done when I called it later.

@kazitor The worse part is the background is purple.
-
So the is that all fields are required? ?
Or that theSubscribe
button can hardly be recogniszed as a button?
Or that there's noCancel
button?
Or that they did not spellfrist
correctly?

I see only an epiphenomenon, a pronounced lack of green.

Former UX guy at Microsoft takes aim at the current iterations of the UI.
I’m getting the itches to dig out my taskbar replacement, figure out how to bring it up to current APIs and ship it but I don’t think I have VB6 any more so I’d have to learn something newer…
But the more I hear about Win11 and future MS plans I feel like I want to start making my own all the things.
Edit: I also miss the days of Win3.1 and Amiga Workbench where things lived in folders with icons in a funky way.
