The answers on SO don't really show JS's flaws IMO, most of them are pure trickery like the one using visually undistinguishable korean characters for variable names.

When I first heard that question, I was really excited to learn another JS quirk, I expected the answer to be messing with JS's coercion. Needless to say I'm disappointed, except for that answer which involves toString/valueOf.

Haha my uncle used to say the same thing, "just drop out after one year and study economics instead!", and he kept telling me that every time I met him.

He only shut up when I landed a job quite a while before I graduated, while my cousin (who studied economics at the same uni as mine) had to struggle for months after graduation to finally get a job.

@NoMad the general quality of life, I guess? Living here is stressful with the ridiculous traffic, pollution, generally lacking public services, and the recently arising racism and extremism issues.

Also, though you're paid multiples of the average wage, you can make even more overseas in Singapore or Australia (the average monthly wage here is about US$400, while the minimum wage is about US$250). I have a friend who lives in Singapore and makes US$3700 a month, he can save more than twice my monthly net income.

@OnlyBytes @NoMad I live in Jakarta, Indonesia. I don't know that much about migrating here, but some unicorn startups and corporations offer relocation and visa assistance for international hires. For expats, the numbers can go wayyy higher, I believe.

@f7u12 yeah my dad mocked me yesterday because I don't use SSR on my website 😂

"Talk to me when you finished implementing SSR!", he said.

Lol jk, I'm 23 and my dad doesn't even know what a website is

@DLMousey @tahnik so if I run a Rails backend with ERB or HAML template injected with some Ruby code, and parts of the page are rendered client-side by JS, it counts as server-side rendered?

Great explanation btw! :D

@NoMad it's their loss then ;)

For a second I thought she was pregnant....

@rapidslug yup, I have.. I verified that the monitor was working fine by plugging it to my playstation. Then I tried connecting the monitor to the PC using both HDMI and VGA cables, also tried the both the ports on motherboard and on the GPU, still no luck

I think I do have to bring it to a PC repair shop for breadboarding after all..

Anyway, thank you very much for your suggestions! I learned a lot :)

So I installed an internal speaker and turned my PC on, and....

It didn't make any beep at all......

Does it mean my mobo's dead? :")

@rapidslug it's an ASUS board which has a CLRTC jumper, moving the CLRTC jumper cap from pins 1-2 to 2-3 would supposedly clear the CMOS

@rapidslug yup, I've tried clearing the CMOS, no luck :/

The manual suggests that I try unplugging the battery if clearing the CMOS didn't resolve the issue.. now that I haven't tried yet because the battery is located under the big ass GPU

@b3b3 @gizmo3399 you're right, I don't think my mobo has that beep thingy, it didn't make any beep sound when I turned it on without any RAM on 😂 I'm gonna get one tomorrow along with some tools to diagnose my PSU, thanks guys!

@b3b3 no it doesn't....... oh god please noooo :((

@Hedgepig @Jakuho thanks for the suggestion guys! Will try it once I got home 😁

@chiragiem36 all right, can you start tomorrow morning?

I just don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. They expect me to finish a major refactor task in two weeks, yet they take 2 hours of my time everyday for a meeting discussing things irrelevant to what I'm working on.

And when I fail to finish the task on time, I'll be the one to blame. I know it. It's always been like that. Is this a sign that I need to just fucking quit?

Having to constantly catch up on new techs. Dammit front end world, gimme a break!

@ClemFrieckie nope, turns out the company just gave him a '$1M lesson on how not to screw up' and didn't fire him 😂

It's a perfect example of GraphQL, you query a single key, you get only one value! 😃

That's why I use a larger mug for coffee lately.. when it becomes cold I would turn it into ice coffee instead

@timos now I'm curious.. gotta add Haskell into my learning backlog!

@michaelarnauts I think it's the other way around.. you can't put divs in your span

Are you even sure that it's a real public wifi, instead of a honeypot set up by one of the attendees for giggles?

I was skeptical about macbooks at first, kinda have to admit now that their build quality and retina display monitors are the best, though

@Jilano technically correct is the best form of correctness

Thanks. You made my day.

@creator *gives internet hug*

@bassebus true that! Most developers here like to brag about their code quality on their resumés, maintainable, well-documented, reusable, blah blah.. while in reality they don't give a shit about any of them. Some guy even named his variables in letters, x, y, z, etc. without describing what they stand for, and he dares say "I write code for humans" on his LinkedIn profile.

But this guy.. he really walked the talk. Man, I love him.

He should've said "I'm sorry" there in the commit message haha

But yeah things like this happen, just be thankful that it got detected before the code's deployed to production
