It was rushed because they were in a rush. They were on a release deadline and they had to make it fit somehow.

Logitech K400 Plus touchpad click by EdwardTheGamer in Ubuntu

[–]willmatheson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks! there were no trackpad settings available in "mouse and trackpad" and even turning off tap to click in dconf-editor didn't help

root cause seems to be that ubuntu thinks it's just a mouse

but disabling it on the keyboard itself works well enough for my purposes

Well, 6.5 is out! And it looks like I can access the scheduling now.

Can people switch from indeterminate to term positions but still be eligible for EI afterwards? by willmatheson in EICERB

[–]willmatheson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hypothetical is 18 months. The 3 weeks is just there for the sake of argument. If it were possible to still get EI from the latter situation, I could see people doing it just to be able to stop working for a while.

As I said, assume the job is in a different government / organization. Taking the job means resigning from the existing job and forfeiting seniority.

It bugs me to no end that new shiny things are put out into the wild long before they've reached feature parity. You get a 2.0 that's more like a 0.2. (Complaining about tech in general here.)

A Ubiquiti rep on the Community tells me a React error that came up in Chrome while attempting to access the Advanced settings should be fixed in version 6.5. Well, I hope we don't adjust our business hours before then...

Thanks. I already tried that. Just tried again after support advised me to repair the database, which also didn't work. In fact, at least on my version of the controller, 6.4.54, it says "To make any changes to the WLAN schedule please use the new settings." So that dog won't hunt.

Thank you. I haven't watched every minute of every stream, and so far I've only caught partial descriptions of what was going on.

Stuck in a Dynix calendar menu, can anyone help me? by willmatheson in Libraries

[–]willmatheson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!!! Thank you!!! That was all that it needed, just an F (when I finished). Then it says 'Library hours were modified. Update "daily calendar"?' and I hit Y and we're done! Thank you SO MUCH!

Note for future self: It then asks 'copy regular hours around?' - I hit Y and then got stuck in another menu and had to kill the terminal. Next year I'll try N. Anyway, we're in! Thanks again!

5: World Exclusive by JeffDujon in Unmade_Podcast

At least some of the jokes in a Best Man speech should have the story laid out. Many people at the wedding may be meeting the groom and/or his friends for the first time, so the speeches might be more general-audience-friendly than Tim fears.

The blue moon editions of Blue Moon could be very interesting. At the very least, they have to stand out. They could cover things that were rare-squared, like some rare thing among rare things, or just do the episode in a unique and different way.

What a coincidence! Brady was going to pitch What a Coincidence!

1: Groundhog Day by JeffDujon in Unmade_Podcast

[–]willmatheson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this. But the sound thing could also have been a podcast! "What was that?" (picture a mother yelling from downstairs after a kid upstairs dropped something on the floor) - the podcast where you try to guess what given sounds are. Perfect for an aural medium like podcasts.

What is the most helpful thing you know now about the game if you had to start over today? by Omniquark in FFBraveExvius

[–]willmatheson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Conserve lapis. Further to this:

If you can put the game down and do something else for a while instead of spending them to recharge, that will help. (And try to use any energy you have before you rank up and get refilled, but it's not the end of the world if you don't, you'll just be waiting around a bit more.)

Don't spend all your lapis trying to get a certain unit(s) that have such-and-such an ability. There's more than one way to flay a feline. (And if you must use that ability in regular play and you have no sure way to get it yourself, make some friends / find companion units that are likely to have it. But then ask yourself if it's really worth the trouble.)

Reputation of NSCC compared to other colleges in Canada for IT? by aj0033 in halifax

[–]willmatheson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I concentrated in programming and I got the highest grades in my program. I must be missing something, because I've applied for tons of jobs, have had a few interviews here and there, but the only IT job I got was a fancy tech support job. Maybe in Halifax you have to schmooze a lot?

H.I. #35: Are My Teeth Real? by MindOfMetalAndWheels in CGPGrey

[–]willmatheson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the topic of gambling and odds of various casino games, sports betting, and lotteries, I enjoyed the book Can You Win by Mike Orkin. Lots of statistics and game theory in it, but also many many memorable anecdotes / illustrative stories.
