I'm surprised at how prevalent the sign "We prefer MasterCard" is in Singapore.
Also, when I tried handing in my VISA at local 7-11, a staff there looked dissatisfied, by shouting out "VISA?!". This is not the only case, as the similar situation occurred just in a few days; every time when I tri...
They haven't had a good vocalist since they fired their first one
> Singaporean culture is also noticeably more brusque than (say) Japan or Thailand: instead of grovelling apologies, you'll just be told "No lah, Visa cannot". No offence is intended or taken.
I hand made the dog door here, like everything else, when a really good one that goes into a sliding glass door is in the hundreds of dollers, and the weight of the dog part seemed a bit high. Had one big ass dog in the house, and she would scrape the side of the sliding door when going through her dog door, and she developed a tumor like node where it was hitting everytime, 700+ strikes a year, and the body reacted.
this years design/prototype is vinyl wrapped memory foam, for the door part. head butting that to get out , looks much more comfortable, and it never sticks up, and of course is well insulated.
I've heard claims that the game is multiplayer, but the universe is so huge you will almost certainly never encounter another player.
That seems unlikely. It's a lot of work to make a game multiplayer, so I doubt they would go through all that effort for a feature they didn't expect anyone to e...

Someone found the current *beep* sound annoying and asked for a way to change the sound. Such a feature did not exist, so I created this UserScript which adds a button next to the notification settings button. This button opens a popup which allows you to ...

@Burgi Hehe. <evil>We should add this functionality to the bot and make it bing when a certain non-cat uses the word cat in a bot command - but only only their terminal</evil> ;p
@DavidPostill Good job I don't live in Ethiopia either!
Average temp in Phuket is 28C all year round
It also just got bombed by errorists, but meh.
I need a USB 3 hub. But it's with all my other thingies in the other place
I think today's the day I finally put my 1 TB SSD into my laptop, rather than using the 256GB one in the laptop and carrying the 1TB externally all the time :-/
@Bob Well, sample size of 5 with zero failures and zero minor errors, vs. previous Seagate drives with a sample size of 5, typically at least two complete failures and all 5 had minor errors
I kinda wish I'd gone WD for my main 4TB x 19 ZFS array, mainly better performance in my use cases, but they were about 15% more
@Bob Possibly, I haven't looked much, aside from noticing my 8TB SMR drives are now 30% more than when I bought them
But as I've mentioned before, the SMR drives were first released as enterprise cold storage drives, then gradually adopted into desktop models. I doubt the technology is untrustworthy.
I'm considering gitting most of my mutable folders (e.g. pictures, documents, desktop, etc) just in case the version control comes in handy some day. Does git work well with many types of files and is there a significant filesize penalty? I'll probably implement some kind of scripted committing i...
I've found some similar questions (here, here, and here) asking about storing documents into version control. I have a more specific requirement and general question. The specific requirement is that I want to use Git. The more general question is, how should documents (for design, test, general ...
You can call git in a subshell after each upload.
But I don't think using any VCS it's good solution for document versioning, especially in web application. This is because with office-like documents you will use mostly binary data. VCS sucks (no exceptions) when comes to binary data. You will ...
Yay after 20th site I finally find one with an actual honest-to-god proper solution that exactly addresses my problem, rather than "It can't be done" or a pile of workaround for unrelated issues
I should post a self-answered question on SU. But I'm too lazy.
And dasly: yes, that is my standard solution now. I had way to many times when a single shutdown&boot or reboot did not solve things, but doing it a few times worked.

Query volume for shrinkable space: You can shrink by 200 GB Request shrink: 20GB - Error, not enough space to complete operation Request shrink: 10GB, ten times: Completes fine.

Only Microsoft could cock up a functionality so bad that it'll tell you there is enough space when there isn't, while simultaneously telling you there isn't enough space when there is.
So the Asus tablet I want to buy that's due out "August" still isn't available, and the Dell monitor I want to by that's due out "March" still isn't available :-(
@Hennes It doesn't really need memory though. It basically does a defrag, gives up if it doesn't finish within 10 seconds, then fails with "No disk space"
If you repeatedly tell it to shrink by the same amount, it gets there eventually.
Basically it does 10 seconds of defraging, and if it'd take 100 seconds to finish the shrink, by the 11th time you tell it to shrink by the same amount it might just work -_-
Microsoft are smart like that. Instead of asking "Are you sure?" because everyone automatically clicks "Yes" to those dialogs by now, they make you request the same thing ten times and sit through the wait
it's a UVC webcam, and the driver auto installs...
so i just wantd to see if even the thing works, as the driver CD can't detect the thing to install the driver.. (why does it need to detect something that isn't installed yet?!)
