I could finally have... peace...? 😍
-
And this is why we hate impromptu/unplanned calls and meetings (we hate the planned ones, too, but we hate these more)
-
Had a ticket the other day, "line breaks are not pasting in properly. It works when I copy from notepad++, but not from teams"
Ok buddy, you clearly demonstrated that we're handling line breaks properly on our side... I'm afraid we can't fix the application you're copying FROM for you... -
If you haven't already looked it up, sounds like mutation testing light be relevant

1. Work pays for a JetBrains dotUltimate license, but if they didn't I'd buy it for myself in a heartbeat.
2. Windows (7 on desktop machine, 10 on laptop), macOS if you count hackintoshing (though I do have a beat up old MacBook laying around somewhere), DxO Optics Pro (or maybe it's called Photo Lab now? If I wasn't so inconsistent with my photography hobby I'd pay for this). -
@joas have you checked out TuxGuitar? Maybe not quite all the bells and whistles as GP but it's good enough that I haven't felt the need for GP since I started using it years ago.

The terminal on my work machine looks like the 'atomic' theme of 'oh-my-posh'.
-
@Demolishun that's illegal, they're not Lnterfaces!

After some time with DataGrip initially, and then Rider, I've become a total JetBrains fanboy... Now I use Rider for almost everything, front end to back end, and Notepad++ for the most basic text editing.
(I even love their font, I enabled ligatures and set everything to use it long before I started using any of their paid products) -
@jiraTicket @Oktokolo maybe a good real life example could be something like the winding "inefficient road" but with a nice, straight road next to it and a sign, "hidden quicksand on the straight road! Twisty is safe"
Or something along those lines... You guys are right, it's difficult. -
>will write it later
throw new NotImplementedException();

@darksideofyay I'm with you on this one, my M570 trackball has been going strong for about a decade now.
As for keyboards... My vote would be to build your own :) Or at least something with split halves, ortholinear and staggered. -
@CoreFusionX this 100% - for my team we aren't bothered by dev colleagues that much, but we get pinged by people from other teams a lot and our manager is very supportive on pushing back on that kind of stuff.
The difficulty with being helpful or going the extra mile sometimes is that inevitably people will expect you to do that all the time. -
@Lensflare TIL tail recursion, thanks!
The method checked to see whether a column is referenced by any column expressions in a table, and this naturally includes a check to return if the column we are checking is already in the collection of references.
What I didn't account for is a user trying to reference a column in its own expression... I'd been adding the current column to the collection of references AFTER making the recursive call, so the recursion continued indefinitely 😅
Ezpz fix, add the current column to the collection of references BEFORE the recursive call. -
Not sure if it would help but I've been liking WakaTime for this if you wanna check it out
-
Ah yes, all those months between today and last weekend when I rebooted to install updates 😅
Whatever happened to "my [laptop] body, my choice"? By far the most stable and predictable machine I have is some shitbox laptop running Ubuntu 16, in the last 6ish is years it has never missed a beat, and only rebooted on the 3 or 4 specific occasions that I told it to. 🤷🏻♂️ -
@Voxera the dev version of "die a hero, or survive long enough to become the villain"
-
And let me guess, just the one commit 🤣
-
It's like the monkey-typewriter thing, with that many lines surely one of them must be right 🙃
-
chrome://flags#enable-force-dark
or
edge://flags#enable-force-dark
I think I usually set this to one of the selective settings. -
My teams status for the last couple years has been:
">>> https://nohello.net <<< Please include your question in your first message to save time!" -
@lungdart Did you make this clear to HR? In general I agree they're useless, but I'll admit I read it the same way @topsecret230 did at first.
-
Now that's a fuckin mood right there. Upgraded some servers to Windows Server 2019 recently, and we were getting some obscure uncaught exception when running reports in our product, but only on the servers that were upgraded.
Bunch of troubleshooting, comparing runtimes of everything but the kitchen sink between working and non-working environments... Ya know what it was?
A god damn MISSING FONT. -
Not here... 😭
-
I do not enjoy this kind of questioning
-
@spongessuck well I can't say it any louder 😂
I'm probs just being a drama queen about this weird/stupid/annoying bug, but yeah... Not a happy camper. -
Hail Cthulhu, I have found my people 🙏🏻

Resolve it with a screenshot of the first page you encounter with images loading correctly and the comment "cannot reproduce"
-
@Lensflare agreed, and in @netikras example I think a more appropriate name would be... "Stack level" or "stack ID"? Since in that context all the value is really telling you is the position in a list, and we may happen to assume that the items in the list are unique.
I think it would be akin to performing lookups based on ROW_NUMBER() rather than an actual ID value. -
@ethernetzero that's a fair point and as far as I understand the situation there is a time component involved - the issue with this feed is that one entity was pulled in with this ID a little while ago, and now a different entity has that ID on the provider side.
The difficulty is that the whole point of this feed is to keep our system up to date with information on the provider side, so it kind of relies on one ID referring to one single entity in perpetuity. I totally understand the time-related argument, it's just a funny/frustrating situation.
This might be getting a bit philosophical, but in my mind unique means an ID that doesn't give me a different reference depending on _when_ I ask for it...
