That would get you hired AND past your first probation period instantly. I'd put in a good word for your Christmas bonus.
Developers who know keyboard shortcuts are worth their weight in gold. Shortcuts are like anti-canaries. They're whatever animal you bring with you that not only tells you the air is clear, but can point out the best path to the ore.

what? you're going to tease me with an underboob metaphor and not deliver?
What? Getting a reaction from trolling you was the underboob! But I aim to please, so

Close. I think I voted against schools and police and firefighters today.

No Infiniscroll, but I put your preferred filter on the URL for you. ;)

their first instinct isn't to hit ESC until it stops loading, and then go to the address bar
TIL (esc). I just either clicked the 'X' to stop loading, or simply typed the URL without waiting. (Oh, and change home page to "about:blank")
-
simply typed the URL without waiting
That never works for me on IE, especially not on fresh Windows installs. It just keeps loading, even if you hit the "X". Now I keep a Chrome installer on my flash drive that is on my keychain.

Basically everyone who is trying to grab your wallet...
(I didn't get to vote - no candidates or local measures, no ballot.)

These are less objectionable than usual, but I always vote against them all on principle. The odds are vanishingly small that a bond measure will ever fail, but you never know.

Haha, you're bringing back memories of me wisecracking to that in the dorms with my buddies. Miss those days. "What if we took the Batman cartoon, but removed Batman and just had Bruce Wayne, then give him a giant robot, then ripoff the theme song to the 1980 Flash movie... BRILLIANT!"
That show and ... shit what was the one with the plain dude and his spaceship navigator is some robot chick and there's a Outlaw Star! Those were favorites to mock, back in the day.

That feel when you type
git status

Find and replace? Not that big of a deal. :-P
-
Find and replace?
You would think it would be that easy, wouldn't you?In theory, it would have worked, if Visual Studio wouldn't have tried "fixing" things as the replace was going on, and replaced it in all code files (i.e. the project properties etc). And then didn't attempt to re-fix things when I changed the namespace. And then didn't attempt to recompile the database model from the (not technically code) edmx file.
Lots of spaghetti fell all over the floor for about an hour or so.
-
The few times I have had to do such things, I found Sublime Text did an exceptional job of Find and Replace, as long as I didn't do anything foolish. Better than VS.

Some days i wish i did so i could give the vendor an intimate demo of the shit they sold us.....
-
oh for the love of the goddess....
when you call me as a telemarketer and my side of the conversation is as follows:
- "I do not accept unsolicited phone calls at this number, please remove me from your call list."
- "This is an unlisted number and I do not accept unsolicited phone calls, please remove me from your list."
- "Remove this number from your call lists, This is a private line and I do not accept unsolicited phone calls." (disconnect call)
What exactly do you think my response is going to be when you CALL ME BACK THIRTY SECONDS LATER FROM THE SAME NUMBER?! Do you think i'm likely to be happy? I'll give you a hint, no i am not. I am not going to be happy in the slightest and i will be extremely short with you.
I know your job sucks so i will refrain from swearing at you, but i will make it clear in no uncertain terms that I will not accept your call and i would like very much for you to never call me again and i would like that so much that if you call me again I will take the time and effort to look your company up and sue for harassment in small claims.... so do us both a favor and remove me from your call list.
oh, and don't try that lie about me signing up for this call, i know you called my direct line because you skipped call verification and were not in my contact list. that means you didn't call through google voice and that is the only number i ever give out. if you call my cell phone directly you are either calling for the previous owner of the number (that's happened a couple of times) or you are cold calling me. In either case i'm not taking your call.
oh and the excuse that you are from a Political Action Group or some other bullshit and thus exempt from the national no call list will brook exactly zero sympathy from me. In fact it's likely to dissolve most of my remaining civility. So it's best not to try that card with me.
-
I just immediately hit ctrl-t and close the first tab while the second loads what i want it to.
-
I didn't know you worked in that business.
Someone's feeling saucy today!
Oh, wait, two someones, as I did go GISsing for underboob.
-

No no no no no. No. The only lesson they will learn is the one that costs them money, i.e., you stringing them along as long as you can.
Yes, it interferes with your day. OTOH you're improving society.

Status confused about developing SQL on Windows (specifically, for a CRM that users SAP's Advantage database). How do you write and test queries before deploying them to the live crm?

calling for the previous owner of the number
I get calls from people sueing "Vanessa Hudgins" at least once a month. She hasn't had this number for five+ years. Got a few court order notices, notice of default, all sorts of stuff. So much fun!
-
The .net ecosystem is full of "foundation" names. It's super irritating.

How do you write and test queries before deploying them to the live crm?
Any number of ways. There's Toad, although I think that's not free? If you're using Visual Studio, you can do some from within the IDE. You can go low tech and write some VBS to be run in a Classic ASP page or a shell script if nothing else is available--I've done that from time to time for really simple queries.
-
Is that not a normal thing?
I'm sure you're just but no, since most people seem to work at places that use WebSense or some other horrible filter, it's not terribly normal because they don't wanna get fired for "looking at porn".
Of course a phone with a tethering plan helps, as does being able to run an HTTPS proxy from home, like someone I know used to do. They can see that you're talking to home all day but that's it.

If there's a JDBC driver for Advantage then SQL Developer, which is free, will work.

Looks good. Glad you liked it. Chef John is great on YouTube. He makes some really interesting stuff.
You can't go wrong with chorizo and eggs.

SAP's Advantage database
How do you write and test queries before deploying them to the live crm?
Judging by the applications I have been around that use ADB, you don't. You don't bug test either. You don't do UAT. You don't smoke test. You don't pen test.
Not shitting on user's heads would put you in the top 1% of developers to touch ADB.
-
Why did you pick up?
-
Status: Tonight I received some bullshit marketing email for a shitty LOB application that a client has that is built on ADB (paging @Captain). I get back to my desk and open it and realize that when they sent it out, they sent it to 40 people at a time with all of the email messages wide out in the open. 39 other email addresses that I can start spamming if I wanted to. And 39 other people that my email address was sent to for them to do the same.
So I compose a reply:
When you send out a marketing email, it is generally in bad form to label it as a letter from the president.
It is REALLY bad form to expose 40 email addresses to others instead of sending it as a BCC or some other form of email that does not expose my email address to a bunch of strangers as you just did this one. I would rather not receive blatant marketing emails at all, but if you do so could you please at least have the courtesy to not expose all of our email addresses to the public?
And, of course, I did Reply-All just so everyone else knows they did.

Status: FUCKING HELL STOP SPAMMING MY NOTIFICATIONS WITH GOOD POST

Status: Why does Discourse give me a separate notification for each post that gets 25 likes, but not have those notifications actually link to the post that got the likes? That's like if Google Webmaster Tools sent me an email saying "your website has problems" and then the only thing in the email was a link to the Wikipedia article for "fish sticks".
