RE: Skype doesn't know how to sort
No!
Remember!
If it sucks and it's open source -- then it's open source's fault.
If it sucks and it's not open source -- it's still open source's fault. -
RE: Sublime Text 2 chokes on long lines
Speaking of sensible paper I just discovered that the printer in our office can print on both sides. It prints one side, partially spits it out, sucks it back in and then prints the other side. I spent five minutes watching this this morning. I now have half the works of Shakespeare on my desk.
And if you flip the sheets over you'll find the other half!

RE: Keypeen
Apple keyboards used to have Clear instead of NumLock, because only inferior shitty PC computers even have the concept of "numlock". Which is stupid.
Well actually mine isn't Clear or Num Lock, it's "Silent Alarm" -

RE: Of vim and other text editor hackery
Hey, you're free to use regexs if you like. I think Vim has the best regexs around -- mostly because I can't live without
\zs
.I'm just not so hot on everyone suggesting ugly regexs all the time. They just look like hell. Meanwhile all the main Vim commands like d to delete, e for end-of-word and . to repeat changes are simple. And usually they are all you need. And you can see if they're working as you go.
Let's not forget, though, for the general version of this problem the real answer is to just have the computer do it for you. Type
console.log(Object.keys(x))
at the end, select all the lines and type!nodejs
Enter.I mean you're already on the computer, right?

RE: Soda swiper
When I was in 5th grade, my class went on a LOT of field trips to Seattle Center. We were supposed to visit the science center and learn stuff, but instead my cruel friends and I would hang out by the giant gumball machine. We figured out that you could put in a quarter, turn it verrrry slowly until the gumball drops, and then turn it back, and take your quarter out. The mechanism didn't reach the no-turning-back point soon enough.
But the BEST part was that the next random kid that came along with a quarter would get NO gumball. So we'd wait in the shadows and delight in his/her sadness. We had way too many gumballs to enjoy but we couldn't get enough crying kids. Especially the ones that would beg and beg their parents for a quarter, only to receive nothing.

RE: True on the Falseth
@Tsaukpaetra Seems like not many. But I think there are way more options for building a report than are visible once it's built. This seems to be a pattern among the tools I get to deal with. Also, no option for relative date ranges in reports. Because who would ever want that? Boolean dates are OK though obviously!

RE: More Windows 10 auto-update auto-reboot nonsense
@TimeBandit said in More Windows 10 auto-update auto-reboot nonsense:
At my previous job, we retired a web server after 2117 days (5.8 years), thinking the hardware could fail soon.
It was up since day one.If I hit 2117 days I'll retire this one out of reverence. :D

RE: Nintendo Entertainment System?
If you're worried about the original NES hardware being too finicky, you can replace the 72 pin connector for about $6. I've fixed multiple NESes this way. It's cheap and easy. The connector just snaps onto the board.
And then you get the advantages of running on the original machine. IME repros never quite work the same or even play all the games. I haven't tried that new $500 one though.

RE: And THIS kind of BS is EXACTLY why I have NoScript ON by default, EVERYWHERE
It's not just security issues; it's also about stopping intrusive ads and data harvesting
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of intrusive ads nor data harvesting but neither one of those compares to getting malware infected or passwords stolen.

RE: And THIS kind of BS is EXACTLY why I have NoScript ON by default, EVERYWHERE
Even if it was Javascript's fault (looks like it's not) what is the point in turning it off by default? The only sites that would be a security risk to you will be ones you are actually doing business with, which would be, I suspect, the same ones you would whitelist.
You can't win, basically. Just give up.

RE: Found my first C project
Well that's why I always send them something like this
echo ☃✄ツ && pip install whatever
so they won't even try to type it in.
