@kiki since when does GIMP have trouble with Photoshop formats? I haven't really done much with it in the last 6 years or so, but from about 2007 - 2013 using GIMP with Photoshop files was part of my daily workflow.

It's this level of insanity and insults from corporate that rightfully makes employees decide it's time to update and shop around their resume

I need to send this to my boss the next time he tries to tell me I can't refactor our old-ass code base.

"I'm just trying to mend this garment."

Always a good chance to offer your services as a consultant for a completely ridiculous amount.

I've spent over a decade living in poorly lit offices in front of computer screens. I can't go live on an island somewhere, my pasty white skin will bust into flames.

My response, letting them know I bill at $140/hr in half hour increments. Their account has been assessed a .5hr help ticket initialization line item. Help ticket initializations remain on the account until billed, but will never be billed alone.

We're not with from home during a crisis, we're at home during a crisis and trying to work

@SortOfTested in a discussion of problems with floating point, you claim fixed point has rounding issues? Rounding point problems are the number one reason that so many suggest to use a type like int over float/decimal

First, all the Corona needs to reach critical mass and form together to become Gigorona. Then, the protector of the plant will rise to save the world.

@SortOfTested the local park has a large pavilion you can reserve for $150 that holds about 100 people and has a grill. He wanted to invite all his friends, classmates, and friends from his preschool, so we were setting up for a 40+ kid birthday party.

Now, it'll be me and his mom.

Voice mail is a wonderful thing...

"Hi, this is CodeMonkey. I'm unable to answer your call right now because I'm working on something that's important to someone other than just you. If you feel you really need me, feel free to contact CodeBoss and tell him why your request is more important than anything else. Thank You!"

Boss has a different ringtone than other schlubs.

Is that an Irish whiskey? I use Irish whiskey.

@M1sf3t
Date object has 19 methods start with get.

getOwnPropertyDescriptors() exists in the root Object.

JQuery contains .get(), .getJSON(), and .getScript()

Those are the common, mundane ones. There's no telling how many JS functions people have written that start with get and don't return an element.

@M1sf3t once again, JavaScript so I disagree. Name tells you what it's doing, what is getting returned, and what it needs. It's long, but in a language that's already fighting against you, I appreciate the help.

@M1sf3t

JavaScript is the one place I support pluralized naming. Since it's do loosely typed, doesn't define returns, and documentation is hit or miss at best, it's nice having the function name tell you if you're getting a value or an array.

Using descriptive names can be taken too far, for a start.

@asgs only thing they capture are the notes...

There's even a fun little bug related to logging in with different credentials after a timeout, just to see if they would catch it... Nope.

@asgs if it wasn't for second to last one, I'd think that maybe the last one actually was a concern. They reported that a link took them somewhere unexpected, when not only did the link never exist, but the entire section they're taking about it being in never existed. At this point, I've got no faith in anything they come back with.

Teleworking has always gone great in my career. Everywhere I've been employed at during the last 7 years has implemented it to some extent. I've seen it first come online, and that's typically the worst time, as everyone is getting used to the concept and reality.

People will learn, people will adapt. Every chance causes ripples in the pond, you just need to wait for them to smooth out.

@A4Abhiraj it's like the ghost of clippie has returned to haunt us all.

"It looks like you're trying to jerk it to midget clown gangbangs. Here are some suggestions..."

The main push isn't to keep people from getting it, but to slow down the rate people get it at so the health system doesn't crumple under the rush... So, we don't want our hospitals to be like our toilet paper.

Seriously, why no toilet paper? WTF?

@shoop because I just now returned to devRant.

I've fallen in love with the Live Session Share feature of Visual Studio. That and a good voice chat pretty much let's you keep that physical presence benefit without really being physically present.

@BobbyTables hasn't been updated for years. It's pretty much a zombie project at this point.

It's possible to have something in the background other than PornHub/Chaturbate?

Hey, they're just they're to help you help yourself. Don't be upset at robots wanting you to output your generic programming.

Whoa now... Going all crazy there with talk of "undies"... Let's keep things more natural around here.

It's a well documented standard.

Easy to state both property names and values.

Easy to declare arrays of objects.

Easy to turn into JavaScript objects.

Good support in many languages.

Easy to store in a NoSQL database.

Less verbose than other options such as XML.

Used in many useful APIs.

@molaram Sounds like you've figured out a product to make... Code formatter plugin for various IDEs that will conform code to company standards prior to check-in.

Good luck with convincing business it's their responsibility to buy such thing, rather than the responsibility of their employees to simply follow guidelines.

@ItsaMeTuni I never argued that you can't, instead was trying to share some of the problems you'll face in the industry by ignoring coding styles and standards. Take it for what you will.
