The best part of my resume-building experience happened when I installed TeXstudio and its package didn't bring in any of the necessary dependencies for it to be able to generate PDF files. Then the UI have useless messages and nothing ever suggested installing the extra packages until I'd Googled it for an hour. Then I didn't write any of that down, so I'll get to go through it all again, next time I reinstall. Oh, also I turned down the job offer.

Yeah, and it doesn't even default to giving your home directory a separate partition. I like it anyway.

carry on then posted:that's the one that requires a flatten and reinstall to get the new version, right? They've caught on that people don't want to do that and actually test upgrade paths now. Plus, you can just stick your home directory on a different partition and get all back up to speed in like ten minutes after the reinstall, if you want.

FYI, upgrading Mint 17.2 to 17.3 took like four clicks and ten minutes. Nothing's exploded yet! Edit: There still isn't an official OpenJDK 8 package, though.

Look at this loving ligature. Why is the stroke on the second "f" lower than the first one? Why take away the dot on the first "i" if the second "f" doesn't even reach that far? Maybe 2016 will fix this font.

I like when I shut down Mint and the last thing it does before dropping back to text mode is unapply the nice Mint styles so everything looks like CDE or something for a few seconds.

One time, back in 2001, I went to a professor's office hours for help with a weird corner case bug. He said to bring up my code, so I opened it in pico. He then made fun of me for using an "abomination of a text editor" or something and couldn't navigate around because he kept using vi shortcuts. I still insist the bug was his fault.

I had a boss once who had "focus follows mouse" turned on and I couldn't imagine how many times he planned to type into the background window because his mouse just nicked the corner of it before he finally turned off that dumb setting.

(My model is only 1.66 GHz, though.) It's actually not a bad laptop! Except the (replacement) battery is shot, the (replacement) keyboard is filthy, and the screen hinge is totally broken!

hobbesmaster posted:what loving year is this Right? The sysadmins said there's no more Flash requirement in version 8.2 and for some reason didn't add, "which we're switching to in a week," so who knows when we'll be off of it. Hopefully before Chrome disables Flash for good.
