Unfortunately from an auditor's point of view, "some-library": "1.2.3" is one very clear and simple line of code, whereas if you wrote the functionality yourself that would be hundred of potentially complicated lines.

Now you may be tempted to say "in that case the auditor is a retard", and you would be correct, but if you say that then the auditor will go through everything you're working on like a dose of the clap.

Obligatory mention of leftpad.

The EU is founded on the belief that, because the people in charge of the government are well-meaning experts, if they think something ought to be done then they should be able to do it, without having to bugger about convincing an ignorant and bigoted electorate to vote for it.

By the same logic, the criminal justice system is also run by well-meaning experts, and if they think someone ought to be locked up, they should be able to lock them up, without having to convince an ignorant and bigoted jury that they're guilty.

But passing a law that says we can lock up whoever we like would be controversial. So the smart solution is to ban pretty much everything and then be selective about how you enforce it.

I don't like capitals in URIs.

@TeachMeCode You don't know what you're missing. It's delicious.

@blindXfish Bus drivers aren't real. You ever seen one except on a bus? Exactly.

Tell them you identify as a werewolf and if they want you to work nights they'd better set up a dog basket in one of the meeting rooms.

@antigermanist Does she eat belvoir though?

Ebola is.

@BordedDev Fine, but he still has to clip on the jump leads every morning even if he hasn't slept in days.

Humans, schumans. Just assign it to copilot, he'll take care of everything.

I work for a startup, so the shares are basically a lottery ticket. Having an extra 5% would be a bit like having a lottery ticket when there's a rollover or something.

I have now remembered that, in the unlikely event that this metaphorical lottery ticket pays out, my ex-wife will get half of it.

Fuck's sake.

I think so, yes. Unless you do revert or unset. But I usually have to look it up.

@wojtek322 There are a load of rules about cookies. Not a browser => they're not called cookies => there are no rules. That's my theory.

Whatever you're selling, I bet it's shit.

I bet the end breaks off the first time and you can't get the stains out of it.

Scooby snacks and large wooden bats don't mix, kids.

Unless of course you're really pissed off.

Skill issue.

You're alexa-enabled-light-bulbing us.

A good idea to start with would be the administration of a brief but robust electric shock to your genital region every morning before breakfast.

I have no idea whether this will help you become an emotionless psychopath or not, I just think it's a good idea.

The whole racial self-flagellation thing is like modern art: you have to be one of the first cohort of people to do it, and you have to really mean it. Otherwise it's just a bit meh.

Come to think of it, it probably *is* modern art.

Mind blown.

@b2plane Fair enough.

Any sign of the syph yet?

Apparently the first thing that happens is you get these open sores on the end of your badger.

Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber.

I like a good passphrase.

The best ones are grotesquely obscene. Makes them more memorable and also gives you a powerful incentive not to accidentally type them into that teams chat on the other screen.

@tamagotchi If a UUID is too long for the password field there's something piscatorial in the works.

Model of a head of a person with tertiary (gummatous) syphilis, Musée de l'Homme, Paris.

Call me a cynic, if there's a tool that creates an app in one shot after you give it perfect, unambiguous documentation, I'd call it a compiler.

Both of those examples sound like the setup is too complicated and whoever is in charge needs a slap.

There must be a vaguely adequate system that can tell them where the money is, otherwise the whole company would disappear up its own arse.

They won't make that functionality available to end users because the more efficient things are the less scope there is for corruption.

Every time the document shredding people come to the office, I get this strange urge to chuck a handful of nuts and bolts in the bin just to piss on their chips.

So far, I have successfully resisted the temptation.
