6. Tell the coworker to vent on Twitter. Works wonders for me. It is like shouting at /dev/null :)

Let me guess, this has something to do with SUBST.

Walk, if they want you back, charge them ludicrous consulting rates.

Seems the same as Web Components/Polymer. Not sure why neither are mentioned...
leppie | 11 years ago | on: CoreCLR is now open source
I am hoping to hack a bit on the runtime to add some missing features to IronScheme (read: proper continuations!).

So bipolar then?

Author misinterpreted specs...
"Each packet has 20 bytes of useful payload and consumes 49 μA at 3 V"
That is a manufacture average for some profile, mostly sleeping 99% of the time.
The real consumption during broadcast is in the order of 15-20mA for most chip I have seen.
Here is a very informative article dealing with power demands of low power devices: www.ganssle.com/reports/ultra-low-power-design.html

So in Java, a parameter named 'filename' is automatically aliased to 'path'? Doh...
static String readFirstLine(String filename) { try { BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path)); ....
So people writes this everyday, yet still fail to do it correctly...
Also, this article was written 1 day in the future. The future looks bleak to me...

Magic in progress just takes infinite time when code contains Unicode... Or is it just me?

Cute, but why does it not say I use Scheme???

Heck, I only get 15. I would kill for 20.

The category was: Proxy avoidance.
Yes, Fortiguard is a POS, but some of us have no choice behind corporate firewalls/proxies.

Who knows? Why does people downvote me for reporting the issue ?
leppie | 13 years ago | on: The TTY demystified (2008)
Blocked by Fortiguard, and reported.
Edit: To clarify. It was blocked. I reported this 'false positive' to Fortiguard to remove it from their list. They normally clear it in 24 hours.
leppie | 14 years ago | on: A Codewalk for Arc3's first-class(runtime) macros
There is something very wrong with the concept of 'runtime' macros. How is a 'runtime' macro any better than a function/procedure? TBH, I have no idea what a use case would be for a 'runtime' macro. A macro is generally a compile-time source transformation. If you need that at runtime, use EVAL.
leppie | 14 years ago | on: Want the quietest PC? Just get the right chip . . .
If you want a quiet PC, just install a decent watercooling system. Watercooling does not necessarily mean overclocking. I just like a quiet PC :)

IE seems to be the only browser not requesting the source again, which is what you would expect...

Like the old saying goes:
"I work for money. If you want loyalty, get a dog."

Odds probably the RAM was mismatched, and the BIOS did not choose conservative settings. Also could be voltage mismatch, and then your low voltage modules could fry (unlikely though).
