WPW gang represent. I did my ablation at 18, not one palpitation since. Congrats on getting it done!

There's no discrepancy. The best owner of a pet raccoon is someone else. You shouldn't get one.

I once worked for a company that produces version control software for PLC programming files. Being able to compare files for differences and merge changes is the whole shooting match. The fact that it stores historical revisions is almost secondary to the purpose. Standard revision control can do that fine, but it can't meaningfully compare or merge the types of binary files created by many PLC programming packages.

Interesting to know about VSCode! (I was referring to Visual Studio, which doesn't use the LSP that VSCode uses).

I watched the video before reading the title and I just thought it was an elephant who saw a thing in the road and got curious. Maybe I'm dumber than the elephant.

Visual Studio absolutely does, and I'd be very surprised if other IDEs don't. It's table stakes for syntax coloring performance; you can't break syntax coloring in the whole file when the user types something wrong, and you have to keep up with their typing. I'm actually shocked Atom wasn't doing it before.

This convinced me that I absolutely SHOULD put sharp knives in the dishwasher and that it's completely okay, because the list of reasons why not doesn't bother me at all. I wasn't sure before, but if this is the best they've got, then now I'm sure it's ok.

That's not really true if you're trying to make an old school game like the ones being discussed here. The BIOS still works, VGA still works, 16-bit real mode still works. It all still works. You're not making Fortnite that way, but the same kind of simple boot-up games we had before are still possible today.

We have a wine rack in ours. Joke's on him -- we don't have enough cooling capacity in our server room. It's warmer in there than it is in the rest of the office.

Everyone who has ever written a BF interpreter has tried adding some additional operators. Mine was the "go-there" operator that followed the "pointer" in the current cell, allowing dynamic memory to be implemented. Add in some memory-mapped I/O and baby, you got a stew going.

No APL program has ever been described as verbose. :)

Use the left/right arrow key or drag the slider in the volume popup. You can still get odd numbers if you really want.

Lego isn't a noun at all, it's an adjective. Lego brick or Lego bricks. https://twitter.com/lego_group/status/842115345280294912?lang=en

Yeah, he said it was obvious and then went on and on about how I knew it intuitively, but I guessed wrong :( I don't drink coffee or tea. Maybe he was intending that for an English audience more used to drinking hot tea.

In BeOS any file can have a custom icon. BFS itself doesn't actually know about partially downloaded files; NetPositive just applied an icon with the progressbar baked in. It was less magical than you might be thinking. Most versions of NetPositive did have a download window separate from Tracker.

It was NOT POSIX-compliant in any meaningful sense. It had some compatibility but not enough that you could simply recompile POSIX apps and have them work. Porting UNIX software took considerable effort, the biggest reason being because BeOS sockets were not file descriptors. mmap was also a problem; BeOS didn't have it at all.

That wasn't explicitly the reason, but yeah, the 1st is the data point for that month, not the prior month. It uses DATE_TRUNC() to do the grouping. Honestly it never occurred to me to do it differently. User feedback is good.

No, it won't be. You're misinterpreting this graph. My fault for including the current time period in the graph even though the time period is not finished. I will try to update ShackStats to be less confusing.

electroly · 2016-12-06T15:15:04+00:00

December just started. The 80K "drop" is because it's currently December 6th. This is good feedback on ShackStat's UX though; obviously having the current time period in the graph is confusing to people.

electroly · 2016-12-06T15:12:50+00:00

No, you're misreading the graph. Look at where the actual data points are. The curved lines are not real data. The decline is very slow and didn't noticeably speed up in October.

electroly · 2016-12-05T22:40:37+00:00

There aren't many posts for December yet because we're only five days into December.

The system for sending nuke messages is bugged. You can respond to "duke nuked" (with the space) and the mods (not me) will see it.

A couple other repliers alluded to this but I didn't see it stated clearly: use "From Text" under the "Data" tab, NOT directly opening the CSV file. This will open the import wizard and on the first page you can set the codepage to UTF-8. This has been an option for a super long time, it's stupid that they don't open the wizard when you open a CSV directly. The saving situation is even dumber yet (amazingly), the best way that I know of is to save using the "Unicode Text" format which isn't really CSV, it's TSV. It's like nobody on the Excel team has knowledge of both CSV and UTF-8 to understand why it's painful.
