That is mostly the point of the garage. They don't shout at you because they believe differently; they shout at you because it's fun. Just because the same opinions get used elsewhere doesn't mean they'll be applied the same way.
If that's your definition of "fun" you should see a doctor. Seriously.
Also, I do recall a certain someone dredging up things from the Garage at me specifically.

Why, this is perfectly understandable:

Of course. Because your definition of fun is what makes us amputate our sense of humor in the first place. "Oh, that is supposed to be funny? Naw, we don't need that."
Hence my suggestion for visiting Ze Doctor. For Ze Procedure.

I found a translation to modern German of my text. My written German is poor to very poor, but it's quite fun to see what's happened, I'm unsure why sî went to sei rather than ist though. Languages are fun.
Original:
Saelic, saelic sî diu wunne,
saelic sî des wunnebernden meien zît,
saelic sî der vogel singen,
saelic sî diu ouwe, saelic sî der walt!Translation:
Selig, selig sei die Freude,
selig sei die freudenbringende Maienzeit,
selig sei das singen der Vögel,
selig sei die Wiese, selig sei der Wald!

@Rhywden I actually have a stuffed Archimedes lying around here somewhere, bloodstain and all. Got it for Christmas a few years ago.

@Cursorkeys Flashbacks to Latin classes: I didn’t understand anything of the old German part at first, then when I read the first line of the translation, I could perfectly understand all of it without needing the translation.

That is pretty much bottled childhood, if you include having to constantly fiddle with the tracking knob because it was recorded on some terrible cassette that should have been retired years ago.

@Jaloopa Actually, we vivisect them carefully to see what makes them tick. Haven't had much success as of yet, for some reason, however.

If your jokes tick, you might wear bad makeup, have an enemy named after a flying nocturnal creature and live in Gotham City.

Status: I want to rewrite our dumb angular app in UWP. It'd work so much better, and we could test it without constant headaches as parts of it load slowly...
-
@Magus Do you mean like a desktop or native angular app written in ionic or whatever? What problems are you running into as far as testing goes?
-
@stillwater Our current one is just a website. What I want is XAML.
The problem is UI testing: the only tool that exists can't find things half the time, only works in chrome, and if any part of the page is still loading, doesn't work at all, so our entire test suite is full of horrible delays. I don't know why Selenium is so completely worthless, but it certainly is.

Status: So, for one of my school projects I need to go beyond the LAMP stack that's on our webserver (which someone else wrote the contract for with a company I previously detailed - as in: "No
root
for anyone! Not even for the 500€ a month contract!")But due to our recent change of internal software stack, I now have access to two Xeon servers (a bit older but more than enough for my needs).
So, simply take one of those, setup everything I need and then simply assign an external IP address and ... what do you mean, we only get one external IP?
Great. So, in essence, I would now need to setup an external reverse proxy server. Which would lead to clients from inside my school talking to the reverse proxy outside the school only for the data being pumped back into the school.
Jesus Christ. I really hate hosting companies which only offer castrated tools.

Are you talking about Augury? That was the developer extension on chrome last time i used it and it was in fucking beta. I usually nope out and act like a little bitch and moan and groan when it comes to writing or testing the angular part of our product. Absolutely Horri-fuckin-ble to debug angular.
The solution we came up with was to find a willing tester and asked them to manually check every single thing on the screen. Writing tests was a pain on all levels.

Like I said, we're using selenium. We're using it with NUnit, and it... works. Sometimes. We have a decent portion automated now.

Find the tools who work for the hosting company and offer to castrate them.
