@ericfledderman well here we are, a year after this conversation and I switched to a MacBook in work just 2 weeks ago, had no choice our new dev env uses Docker, and Docker fucking sucks on Windows. So far I have to say I'm loving it as a dev machine as I use it every day now. I have a few annoyances with it, for example the dock on multiple monitors just doesn't work, and a few other things, but I must say I'm impressed how everything just works. If they dropped the price by 1k or so I'd most definitely buy one for personal use haha. This thread popped onto my mind for some reason, said I'd write and update.

@orkhanfarmanli You're right, Spotify uses Chromium Embedded Framework from what I remember.

@byte looks cool, will check it out tomorrow, and +1 for go :) 1 suggestion, make releases for Windows and Mac for anyone that doesn't want to install and set up Go.

I immediately Googled this and was not disappointed.

Not in person, but my girlfriends brother worked in San Francisco for 5 years ane had friends in pretty much every big tech company over there, the ones he knew in Uber didn't appear to be happy, apparently it was a high pressure work environment, according to him a lot of employees were waiting for the company to go public to sell there stock and leave.

Apparently Uber are horrible to work for. From what I've heard all the current employees are waiting to cash out.

@yusijs looks cool! So how exactly did you interface with the garage door itself to get it to open/close? I'm assuming it's already motorized and you have a fob or something to open it from short ranges?

Thanks @dfox and @trogus, congratulations on having built such a large community!

@Dacexi thanks! You don't happen to have a link do you? Did a quick search and couldn't find it and my mobile data signal sucks at the moment, what I did find was a post stating that there's over 30k users for anyone that was wondering, and a bit about the devRant infrastructure https://devrant.io/blog/...

@A00012AX77362 Nah but I'll take Dfoxs mothers maiden name, the name of his first teacher and the name of his first pet please

@dfox

@200OK Girlfriends brother lives in the US, I'll ask him to get some for me since he's coming home in June, problem solved :)

@200OK oooh fuck that's expensive :O I'll be purchasing some anyway if you ever manage to ship here :)

@200OK no shipping to Ireland :(

20,000 lines of anything in a single file is bad practice, for CSS it should be split into multiple files and linked in the head section of the document (you can use CSSs import feature as well but this stops concurrent loading of stylesheets which isn't wise), or you can use a preprocessor like LESS or SAAS to manage everything nicely. Generally the more modern way is to use a preprocessor, have everything logically split into files for development, but when deploying to production concat everything into a single file (depending on a few other things)

@Awlex I'd recommend the Moto E3, got it for my mother for Christmas and it's a pretty decent phone for the price. Cost about €130 here when I got it.

@simeg who cares about the button and colours! This sounds pretty cool, any link to the prototype?

So you work 20 hours per week, which is say 80 hours for a average month for €315? , what country do you live in if you don't mind me asking? That wage makes it look like your only getting €4 per hour?

I type with 2 fingers, 84 words per minute last time I checked :) but yeah college sucks

"Why do you want to work for us?", if only "Because you'll fucking pay me" was an acceptable answer.

It's not useless if it makes people laugh :)

Nice, I've done Java for 5 years ( 2 seperate courses, 4 for my degree), know what I learned about Java in college? Sweet fuck all :)

This happens to me on any post with an image.

Hey @MightyNerd

Just dropping you an email now.

@MightyNerd the companies called Pharmacare, sure I'll drop you a email with a but more info

@MightyNerd I do some work for a business, there currently looking for a new UI design for there website (wordpress/woocommerce), no programming or anything just Photoshop/Illustrator source designs. They'd need to see some past examples of similar stuff but if your interested there might be a bit of freelance work for you?

https://github.com/teamwork/...

@MightyNerd how are you with UI design?

@Nayan there's nothing wrong with using a proper IDE if you know what your doing, as someone said previously, schools/colleges often start with basic text editors to teach students, if you have an IDE that's auto generating classes or telling you what's wrong with your code, your never going to learn properly.

Im sure we were supposed to use it in 1st year of college, I never did, I've always been a NetBeans guy but Blue Jay auto generates class diagrams from what I remember seeing.
