i’m sorry, I thought this was devrant not devsaynicethingstoeveryone.

If you wanna stan for keeping master/slave do it somewhere else.

@mordax if you are arguing in favor of keeping offensive terms then I’m glad you’re uncomfortable. Take your fragility to someone who cares.

The USA version of that idiom is “take only photos, leave only footprints.”

well, I am exaggerating for comedic effect. I really haven’t done any of those.

I tend to write code the same way I write.. well, anything else.

I work from general to specific. Break the program into chunks or components and figure out how things will connect, then write the glue and implement the details.

As I flesh out a method I’ll look for ways to subdivide it, so methods don’t get too long.

Probably because unit tests are important, but code coverage is a useless metric that doesn’t actually improve quality.

Probably meant literally three <script/> tags or something equally banal.

That 5s had ya spoiled. ;)

Lack of support is a common issue across many Android phones. Sorry Xaomi dropped the ball.

Avoid technical support in a large company like the plague.

Been there, done that. For literal decades.

In such an environment you are a replaceable cog that will get used until you burn out. There is typically no promotion path to other departments. Your performance will be measured by calls per hour and if you are too slow you will be eventually let go.

Dev at a small firm means more pressure on you directly, but it also means more freedom. You have easy access to decision makers and less organizational cruft that makes getting the data you need harder.

It’s 0xE207 according to my calandar.

Those are def some struggle fireworks.

Hang in there my dude. Happy new year!

IMO the presence of options to help users manage the volume of shitty posts does not remove the responsibility of the poster to not post shitty content in the first place.

This is like saying that sending SPAM is okay because there are filters out there to deal with it.

So maybe let’s stop victim blaming and start posting better.

Android need 6gb of RAM because garbage collection needs the overhead to operate efficiently.

Not anymore, fucker. ;) I kid, I kid. Congrats!

JavaScript is the Comic Sans of programming languages: badly designed, seems fun on the exterior, but has a long and sordid history of being used inappropriately.

Narrowed it down significantly. But still trying to figure out exact root cause.

And then you run git blame and see your own name attached.

@rookie101
Citing a nearly 15-year-old opinion piece is not exactly making your case. This was written pre-PowerShell, pre-C#/.NET, pre-multi core CPUs. ESR refuses to engage with what Windows *is* and instead criticizes it through what he feels it *should be*, which doesn’t necessarily align with what is actually best for Windows users.

Hear, hear.

Windows was shit back in 1995. But if you’re still using “Windoze” or spelling Microsoft with a “$” in 2017, it’s time to grow up just a bit.

Even worse when the app doesn’t fucking work. Looking long and hard at you, Quora. Digest email links have been broken for months. MONTHS. I switched to using the Gmail app, which opens the links in the browser so they actually work.

What you do there is you turn that shit in anyway. If he actually marks you down, you take the original spec to the dean’s office and file a complaint that you aren’t being graded according to the rubric provided by the teacher.

That said, knowing how to do that without lambdas is useful knowledge. You might get stuck on a legacy codebase where the Java language level is stuck at an old version because it has to maintain interoperability with clients that use older JREs.

*ahem* not that I speak from experience or anything. *cough*

The solution is to smile and shove your mouth so full of cake that you literally can’t point out the problems.

Eaten code is debugged code. ;)

Yes, left==cold is a valid interpretation, and standard in the US.

My brain sees this interface like, say, a can of cooking spray where you twist the type of spray you want to the red mark (in the sink’s case, the faucet is the red mark). I see the “H” turned toward me and see it as selected.

It’s visually inconsistent.

YOU HAD ONE JOB

This is fucking hilarious.

I’ve been using Firefox since the pre-1.0 days. I never left.

God, I’m old.

<insert snarky iPhone joke here>

But in all seriousness, I feel you. I had a dinky Android (back in Froyo days), which came with FB. Couldn’t delete it. No biggie.

Until all the preinstalled apps updated and eventually chewed through the phone’s very meager storage space.

To work around this, I had to make a custom image that removed those preinstalled apps. I also had to do some pretty hacky things with the SD card to keep the phone usable (because apps would refuse to install to the giant SD card instead of the cramped internal partition).

I think modern Android is less stupid about where apps get installed, but you’ll still need to root it to get the preinstalled crap off it.

THIS DRIVES ME UP THE FUCKING WALL.

OH SHIT I MOVED MY MOUSE TOO FAR UP NOW IM AT THE START OF THE LINE.

SHIT ILL MOVE DOWN, NO NOW THE START OF THE LINE. I GUESS ILL JUST DRAG IT AGAI—GODDAMNIT NOW I WENT DOWN AND SELECTED THE NEXT LINE.

ONE MORE TIME, NOW SCROLL TO THE RIGHT, A LITTLE MO—HOLY FUCKBALLS WHY DID YOU ZOOM TO THE END OF THE LINE FASTER THAN I CAN FUCKING BLINK??

FUCKIT. ILL JUST CLICK AT THE START OF THE BIT I WANT AND SHIFT-RIGHTARROW LIKE A FUCKING CAVE MAN.

FUCK.

So, no. You’re not the only one.

Um, that’s been in the server version since forever. At least since 2003. It’s mostly a scare prompt intended to make the user really think about what they’re doing. The data doesn’t go to Microsoft.

Don’t ruin my joke with facts! 😁

Sexism isn’t the number one reason, it’s the only reason.

Not interested? That’ll be social conditioning and gender norms, defined and enforced by the patriarchy.

Don’t feel welcome? Toxic masculinity and overt sexism.

Got pregnant and can’t stay in school? 1-2 combo of poor access to contraceptives (thanks to men) and poor social support for students with kids (same).

As it stands, we tell women from childhood that they should aspire to “female” roles, actively push them away from tech by treating them like shit, do nothing to help women with kids to finish their degree, and then sit around scratching our balls wondering why there are so few women in tech.
