@Kimmax Wouldn't be surprised if it was. Machine's a loaner with approx 500mb free on C: and who knows how old the firefox is.

@rantsauce Had to dig a bit, but I think I found it
Line 1770 and 1798 of https://github.com/dneustadt/...

I now have a reason to try and learn PHP beyond "it's useful." Thank you, when I get some time in the next week, I may try and fork it.

Link appears to require a username/password. Any idea what the credentials are, or is this something they added recently in response to a spike in file access?

@irene If they are, I agree. Names in a hat, RNG, whatever. But only for very similar candidates, both in their knowledge and personality, as the latter may indicate a better fit at the company. But knowledge should be weighted more heavily.

This is sexist, but it can be taken in two ways.
The first is the obvious "women are never the most competent," which is a fair reading, and presumes a lower average. However, I find the other is probably more likely to occur.
Say we have 5 candidates who are all highly competent, 3 women and 2 men. We don't know for certain right now which one is the most competent, could be a man, could be a woman.
According to this CEO, we automatically drop the 2 men from the pool, and only choose from the women. In this way, we have just discriminated against the men by action. Remember, we don't know who the most competent person in this is. Could be a man, could be a woman, but we'll never know for sure now because we eliminated 2/5 of the group. Now we can only find the most competent woman.
Now imagine that with 30 candidates split up however you want with at least 3 of each sex. That's why there are people against this stuff. No different than if biological sex were swapped to race, etc.

Using it because we inherited a project using MySQL 8.x and it seems to require Python 2.7.3 on installation. We haven't had time to upgrade.

@nathanasius Perhaps it was the speed. It was like a day. Been about 6 years though, so I can't recall all the details.

@irene I agree, but not using any of his talent is a waste imo. He didn't just do web stuff. He reprogrammed a calculator to use C and brought it to state tests. Intentionally got some wrong on the math section to avoid being brought in under supervision, but I don't even know what's involved in remaking a graphing calculator in a new language today.

@nathanasius It wasn't with youtube, it was with chrome itself. He dug into the browser code to find it.

@JhonDoe Alright. I'll try doing that next time. Thanks for the advice!

@JhonDoe I think the issue comes in generalizing it, perhaps I go too broad... I've been polite most of the times I get asked, but I've gotten as low as "I write the commands that make computers do things" and it still doesn't entirely click. I think they don't understand how what I write makes the computer do things, but I can't explain that well enough for them to understand it.

Remember when scrolling to the top of a playlist on mobile would reveal a search bar?
I miss not having to scroll to the top, open a menu, and scroll down to get that to happen.
Or when hitting search actually opened up a search box and the keyboard, not taking to a page with popular searches first.
Who does their UX testing?

@-red Yeah I know that feeling. There's a fine line between an obscure question relating mostly to how our program specifically functions and a question on how to define an array in Java.
Welcome the former, to hell with the latter.

Sorry can't respect time.
According to time, the world began in January 1970.
My dad was born in '69.
Therefore, according to time, my dad is older than the world.
Fuck time, it's a dirty liar.

@beegC0de @RememberMe Really? Never heard about any other. Guess I'll look into the alternatives

@ipinlnd Honestly? Probably. That or use it as an excuse to learn android, make a massive app that does nothing, and build that.

Spotify is trash. I started using it because I couldn't get Google Play Music (half-decent) for free anymore, and over the last year, their UI and functionality has just gotten worse with every update.
It's like they're just trying to kill themselves off or something.

@bahua It's not quite public whiteboard. My college has a room with cubicles only accessible by software engineering and cs students for mainly use during senior design projects (an actual course). The general rule is that, due to the main function of these cubicles, if it says "SAVE," you leave it and write elsewhere or around it. He's in the same course at a different hour. He knows the rules.

I searched fuck apple on ddg.
All I got were some articles complaining about the headphones jack, a website that's the old apple loading symbol, and a bunch of porn.
So good on you for not using that.

Look for one that explicitly says "this framework is a pain in the ass to use".
All of them are, at least now you can go with an honest one.

SPLITTERS!

You're welcome for killing your productivity.

At my recent internship, the product had started being built in about 2000.
That said, it's been well maintained and upgraded over time as much as possible and as safely as possible. And it's still in use across the US.
Kind of funny though working on maintaining something you remember using in 2nd grade.

Fake it.
Guy I know put a college degree he never got on his resume, applied at a small place, and got hired.
By the time they caught on and fired him, he had about 2 years of experience and got hired elsewhere based on that.

Imagine this with text-to-speech. No need for free hands.
Though you may have to explain the moans in your code...

As much as the new feature is useful, @devios1 is right on this one. If it was something like how chrome://history works, where it's just on the browser, or as part of a plugin, it would be fine, and it would probably be somewhat consistent, as it would essentially be a local shortcut. (I haven't looked exactly into how those work.) But it doesn't make sense as a TLD.

"IANA currently distinguishes the following groups of top-level domains:

country-code top-level domains (ccTLD)
generic top-level domains (gTLD)
sponsored top-level domains (sTLD)
unsponsored top-level domains
infrastructure top-level domain (.arpa)"

All the examples I see for those seem to be for what the site is (is it for a business (.biz), a commercial page (.com), or education (.edu), for example), not for what the site does. This is an important distinction.

Hey I recognize that... We got pretty much that exact same thing for a college laptop.
Mind you, this was after we got the same laptops as civil engineers. 1 thunderbolt, 3 usb, 2 hdmi, small nvidia graphics card, and good battery life got swapped out to a 2 tbolt, 2 usb, 1 hdmi, integrated intel graphics, mediocre battery life 2-in-1 with a semi-responsive keyboard, slightly better processor, a smaller screen, and a fan that sounds like a jet taking off whenever you open Chrome or any IDE.
And at the same exact price.

Admittedly, I've only worked with it through school projects.
But I hate it.
I do not like how it seems cobbled together at its base, nor do I like how complex the syntax becomes when I start using JQuery, AngularJS, or Node. I don't like how Node packages seemed to be installed loose and in a neat compressed file. I don't like how most major pages I visit seem to have errors in their dev console relating to JS. I don't like how I can't seem to get a good handle on any code format for it (unlike when I write SQL queries, Java, C++, assembly, or Ruby). And I don't like how I have to use it in the React-Native app I have to build.

Really hope he meant the actual letters on the screen and not keys on the keyboard...
I know it's in the rant, but people asking tech support over the phone seem to often describe things horribly.
