Error 404 - This site uses case sensitivity to access this file that was not found SO STOP YELLING AT ME JERK.
Thats what webservers need
 
Yay, random 11% raise :D
@NotAdminDave OMG HENNES IS LYING ON THE INTERNET
 
@NotAdminDave I had that happen before on a client's computer - bad RAM was the cause back then
 
@CanadianLuke Bad RAM causing error 404? O.o
 
No, the Reddit comment posted earlier
 
7:46 PM
Internet detective NotAdmin Dave present.
haha yea that was some funny stuff
 
lol
(on the field right now so can't really talk)
 
know the feeling, im working on setting up a new dev environment up here @ work
for our developerz
 
Non-IT guy on this shared office is ranting about a ticket SLA. "Migrate existing website to Drupal". SLA: 1 day.
 
did you refer them to our star wall?
 
Counting the days until this ticket reaches our team's lap...

@Burgi That's... strangely familiar, I recall seeing it somewhere, but can't put my finger exactly where.
 
:)
 
I complained to my boss about a few Drupal drawbacks and caveats that bug me more, a sentiment that a few others on our team share. They offered us Drupal training. Well, let's see if it won't get lost in the bureacratic limbo.
But I fear most of our issues is due to lack of proper planning, intra-department communication, scope creep, bad requirement briefing, and the fact for the average use, Drupal is overkill.
 
On my way home after a shopping trip to get a Logitech K480.
Lets me pair three devices and switch among them seamlessly.
My home setup looks like this:
 
8:13 PM
@DavidPostill that is fantastic
 
8:45 PM
> Drupal is overkill
:P
 
no, Drupal is crap
and I am saying it as a PHP dev
what's worse: if you do not keep it constantly updated or get hit by 0day, it actually constitutes a serious security risk
 
9:15 PM
can you use the steam wallet to pay for stuff on humble bundle?
 
No
Amazon, Paypal, Credit Card.
 
ugh
when is the next steam sale?
 
When does the season change next? :P
 
i live in the UK, its either cold and wet or just wet
 
hey I like drupal
what's crap is joomla
wordpress is quazi good.
if i had a choice between drupal or wordpress... (flips coin)
!!/flipcoin
 
9:22 PM
@NotAdminDave That didn't make much sense. Use the !!/help command to learn more.
 
!!is drupal better than wordpress?
 
@Burgi Not at all
 
he should know, he is code
 
most people teeter to wordpress, but govt teeters drupal.
isnt whitehouse.gov and like healthcare.gov drupal if i recall?
yea they are

@Dog ya

Can I rely on Father's old desktop for light, everyday Web browsing, or should I just get an HP Stream 14 instead?
(This is for Mother, who only needs it for very light use.)
I don't really like the prospect of spending $120 on a Windows 10 license just to keep the machine in service for an unknown period of time before it fails (dating back to October 2007!), but my parents don't want to throw out working hardware.
Being a system primarily used by Mother, it's not my money that's being spent, but I don't want to wind up wasting money on something that will get replaced soon.
Then again, retail Windows 10 licenses are transferrable so I could bring that old eMachines desktop back to life...
 
Bob
@bwDraco meh, get a retail licence and just move it to another machine
 
Get them a Chromebook.
 
Problem is, I don't know if that old AMD K8 is even able to execute the CMPXCHG16b instruction.
...seems to be OK, but I'm going to have to run a CPU check utility to confirm it.
 
AMD K8 Windsor.
My (slightly) newer eMachines desktop has a K10 chip and will run Windows 10.
 
 
1 hour later…

So...
My laptop's SSD has 18.2 TBW on it after two full years of service. Warranty is 10 years or 300 TBW. It's not wearing out anytime soon.
Performance is still fantastic under practically any workload, and RAPID Mode gives a boost in some situations.
yesterday, by bwDraco
I have RAPID Mode enabled. Doesn't really bring a big boost in most situations, but DOOM is so I/O-heavy (thanks in no small part to the game's huge textures) that RAPID Mode makes a significant difference in load times.
 
11:44 PM
I suspect the Pentium G4560 is going to be a hot seller for those building budget desktops.
Jan 8 at 20:13, by bwDraco
The addition of HTT to Pentium processors is a big deal because a lot of newer games expect four hardware threads and will perform poorly on a 2C/2T processor. Your thoughts?
Still no AVX, but anyone with a pressing need for these advanced vector instructions are probably going to be looking at Core i7s or Xeons.
I've seen first-hand that games can perform poorly or experience glitches when given only two hardware threads. A few will not run at all, from what I've read.
 
@bwDraco the 2007 era machine should be fine. Enough RAM would be nice, as would an SSD. And you can always do a trial install to see if it works
I do have a steam 11 and it's a very nice, robust piece of kit
 
I was just wondering if the newer Stream 14 made sense. It's a Silvermont (Atom-type) Celeron which, while probably slower than the AMD K8, uses a tiny fraction of the power the desktop processor uses (6 W vs 89 W TDP!).
I doubt the performance difference is a huge deal. It won't have trouble keeping up with light Web browsing or productivity.
(2C/2T Silvermont/Braswell @ 1.60-2.48 GHz.)
Power consumption alone may very well be enough for the system to pay for itself given that electricity in NYC is not cheap.
 
11:59 PM
@bwDraco I've run cherry trail steams. It's good enough
