[QUOTE=Levelog;45338399]So is "have you tried rebooting?"[/QUOTE]
I still have to ask co-workers who have a problem with their workstation to do a reboot before taking further actions.
the thing is that it actually solves 70% of all Problems around here.
was trying to get xkill to work earlier, but I kept getting errors that there were no displays. after an insane amount of googling and nothing working, I noticed the terminal I was using was connected to my VPS in SSH
welp

There's this one computer in the shop that if the network stops working for it, unplug the Ethernet cable from the computer and plug it back in.
This solution hasn't failed us yet.

Yeah it actually works a lot.

get into music production. it forces you to stick with one OS. installing a bunch of plugins and stuff when you re-install an OS is fucking awful. especially when you change from windows to mac or something, since you have to find new versions for your stuff.

There is the original stickers on this 5+ year old laptop, should I like peel them off?

I'd like to see a picture of it.

It's like info stickers with one ad about optional accessories. I wouldn't bother peeling off the Intel stickers and all that.

Yes, do it
Those things are fucking horrible
Why do we code websites manually? I just can't do it that way, it seems weird how something so visual we're all willing to do blindly until we press F5.

cause dreamweaver is shit
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;45339438]cause dreamweaver is shit[/QUOTE]
Eh, at least I can make something with it.
I'd use something else like atom if I could but things like alignment and pixel perfect placement just seems weird to do in text form.

Because when you've been coding a while you can sort of look at the code and know the result before you even check it in a browser.
Hand coding experience comes in useful when modifying or creating themes for content management systems or ecommerce platforms. I specialise in Magento myself, most of the time you're knee deep in XML files.
I found Dreamweaver to be more of a pain in the arse than to just code it using notepad at college.
The sole use I've gotten out of dreamweaver is to drag and drop stuff to get a rough idea of how the code should look like, and test some basic things for scaling to different resolutions. It's easier to do that, then tweak the code manually, than to write everything from scratch.* For really basic stuff, it doesn't matter though.
*I am not a web developer.
From my personal experience I found Coding from hand much easier than using WYSIWYG Editors.
Sure with Dreamweaver it's easier to get something visual very fast, but There's no guarantee it will work as expected in a display size other the one you're currently using.
As far as I know Dreamweaver likes to use Things like Position:absolute and Position:relative for things where it's absolutely not needed.
If I want to make some drafts for a website, I use Photoshop to get the basic design going and then start writing some quick HTML and CSS.
Also, If you want to get a job as a webdesigner / developer, nobody will take you serious when you tell them you use WYSIWYG Editors to make your Websites.

Somehow I don't think that's an issue
Also punishable by law. Like those tags.
whats that program that automatically gets rid of bloatware and shit like that?
I heard about [url]http://pcdecrapifier.com/[/url]
But I never used it myself

Wait, you're not still talking about removing stickers, are you?
My old website was made in Dreamweaver. Once I got the layout good it took two fucking weeks to get it to work in Chrome + IE + Firefox + Opera. And IE was the hardest one to get working.
It never worked on mobile devices.
I have since just switched to Joomla and now everything is bootstrapped and it's good.
Storytime!
So since Friday or so we've been having the strangest fucking problems at work. One of our mid-sized clients was reporting performance issues. We quickly isolated it to the database server - everyone shares from a pool of app servers, but they were big enough to have their own DB server (but not as big as our bigger clients). I say "server", but these are all cloud machines.
Every so often, it appeared, the DB server would freeze up - DB processes would be stuck in "freeing items". Interestingly, it crossed databases - every client has multiple databases used by different parts of our app, all hosted on the same machine but still separate. But here, a freeze in our logs DB would affect everything, even the sessions DB. Literally no piece of code has access to both of those.
We also noticed that the first process to stick during such an incident was always a write - an INSERT or an UPDATE, never a SELECT. However, it's not deterministic whether any given write will freeze, nor does it seem consistent which tables are involved.
We try everything. I checked for database issues - corrupt tables, stupid configs, stuff like that. Another guy checked our code - for a while he chased a red herring, thinking it was related to an infamously-bad module written by the shitfucker I've told you stories of before. We bump the specs up on the VM to try to alleviate issues, and turn off some heavy modules to try to keep as much running as we can.
You know what we finally figure out that it is?
A [i]hardware[/i] issue on the VM [I]host[/I] machine. The fiber channel card was going bad, and every so often a write would lock it up for a few minutes. Once we had enough proof, the cloud provider switched it to a new host, and things immediately worked again.
Lesson learned: cloud computing isn't all it's cracked up to be. Hardware failures can still happen, and can take days to debug.

I don't remember. Probably. A hungover Levelog is not a funny Levelog. Sorry.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;45340520]Do you actually manage your own hardware? We use AWS and I'm really unimpressed with the performance and pricing.[/QUOTE]
No, we use a managed cloud hosting company. They're expensive but fairly good - they manage things like firewalls and DB replication for us, not just "make sure the host machines work".
This change in the location of the hardware and software subforum is killing me on my phone.

It has been there for 5+ years, I'd assume the adhesive would stick on for all of these years?
