**Status:**strong text Learning to love the notion of registers in emacs. Cut/copy anything (text, window placements, cursor position etc) into a named register, and paste it elsewhere. For example, I just sent out a bunch of "individual" e-mails, where I kept the subject in one register, and the body in another:
- [@0] Find e-mail address, C-c C-o to open it in a new mail composer
- C-x i r s to insert register s (subject)
- down to the body, C-x i r b to insert register b (body)
- C-c C-c to send e-mail.
- Repeat from 0.
Yes, I am sure you can do that in visual studio too, but I like it in emacs.
-
Sending emails with emacs?
-
I don't know whether this post as a whole or the fact that I wasn't mentioned in it worries me more.
-
M-x gnus All your favourite key combos still work (makes it easier on ye old muscle memory). Moreover, you can work with batches of e-mails in a way that, IME, only Pine does better.
-
You should just use alpine because it comes bundled with pico which is also the (standalone version of the) email composer! Huzzah!

STATUS Happy.
My subversion of the forum is coming along nicely and unnoticed.

I didn't try them. We should get an expert opinion on that.

Look, if you need it you can use the closet for a few hours. There's a knob which you can put the sock on, too.

Wait, I thought this was a forum for git users...

TFS! TFS!

You are doing something wrong with your socks.

What kind of name is Team Foundation? It's stupid. Microsoft's naming department is

Man. Earth Defense Force 2017 was the best.

I would so love to play that game, if I could be bothered to look for it.
It sure looks like ludicrous amounts of fun.

Positive discrimination ... Give black socks a chance! They are equally idiotic in sandals.
-

Am I explaining stuff I shouldn't? Did anyone talk to @Luhmann about the birds and the bees yet?
-
Is that some kind of code: don't open the closet when there is a sock on the knob unless you are a real wanker.
-
It's in my Xbox 360 CD case, about 4 feet from me RIGHT NOW.
-
Yes, it's kind of an unwritten rule in dorms/other places where you have roommates - you put a sock on the door knob to signal to your roomies that there's horizontal tango happening, kind of in lieu of "Do not disturb" things you get in hotels.
Maybe I overestimated the reach of that and it's a local thing? In which case:

hmm I just hung whatever I tore from my torso on the doorknob.

Well, we're civilized people here, unlike you savages from Belgium.

Status****strong text: I'm not proud of what i've done.... but it closes the ticket as fixed.....
function SomeButtonClickHandler() { var div = document.createElement('div'); div.innerHTML='<div style="position: absolute; z-index: 9001; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; opacity: 0.5; cursor: wait; background-color: #bbb"> </div>'; document.querySelector('body').appendChild(div.firstChild); setTimeout(function(){ Some.Vendor.Synchronous.AJAX.Call.That.I.Cant.Omit(); //And no, there's no async version either. // YOU STUPID VENDOR, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT FIRST A IN AJAX STANDS FOR?! window.location.reload(); }, 100); }

heh.... at least they got the X right. if i actually cared about parsing the result it is (usually) a well formed XML document.
very occasionally it's malformed in just about the oddest way that an XML document can be malformed....
-
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT FIRST A IN AJAX STANDS FOR?!
Oh yeah? Then what's that third parameter for?!??
Fortunately FF has deprecated synchronous requests on the main thread, so it'll stop being used approximately never.
-
Then what's that third parameter for?!??
it's for twats who don't know how to do Async coding to save their life and like making me see red when their long running request completely halts all my broswer tabs that happen to be on the same process because they locked the event loop with their blocking (A)JAX call.

Status****strong text: Interview tip. Give the developer a piece of paper with a URL. Give them a PC with a browser who still has the default homepage-- msn.com for IE, apple.com for Safari. Ask them to open the browser and go to that URL.
If, the moment the shitty bloatware default page starts to open, their first instinct isn't to hit ESC until it stops loading, and then go to the address bar-- let that be a red flag.
If they sit there and wait for the vendor's chosen homepage to load before even moving to the address bad, don't hire them.

you have my full and undivided attention.
At least you're distracted from that vendor.

If they act like they are going to change the default homepage, hire them on the spot. If they type the URL in to the search box on the MSN homepage, take them to tend the rabbits.
