Clearly others were merely commenting on your promiscuity?
At least, that's what Engine is telling me, no idea how true that may be...

I get about as much action as the original likes thread has gotten in the past month.

I make it a point to try [spoiler]walk[/spoiler]ing for at least 20 minutes a day. Sure it leaves me sweaty and breathless, but they say it burns calories and is good for your heart!

It is thus treated the same as an actual exam with almost the same rules governing them. Which means that missing the deadline is a failing grade. Missing the presentation without a doctor's certificate - automatic failing grade.
Wow, Germans are dicks.
Oh I guess we all already knew that.

I find it funny that you're ranting against the "don't microagress me!" SJW and, at the same time, make the same mistake as them :)

Full disclosure: On every one of these polls ben keeps spamming out, I vote for what sounds the least interesting.
I ignore them entirely.

Because... they fail you if you miss a deadline? Welp, guess you're right, that's some crazy Nazi talk.

Plus, I didn't actually fail them outright but gave them an extension, even when I didn't need to.
But, sure, I'm a dick.

Honestly, I see more issues with that than just setting the deadline and sticking to the clear rules.
But then again, I am a dick, so.

I know, the others told me as well that I was too nice. Chalk that one up to inexperience.
-
IME, you are just generating future problems by being nice. The (my) students don't know or understand the set of standards you are using to decide when to be nice, so to them it just appears arbitrary. The next batch of students are going to expect the same - in their eyes - arbitrary leniencies as well. And then you have to waste time explaining how their case is different from the one where you did once grant an extension.
I was nice once ten years ago, and I still hear about it from my current students.

Wow, fuck Samsung.

For reals though, Seagate sucks.

There's a reason why some people call me a callous bitch!

Maybe they were just critiquing your taste in men. You deserve better than who you're dating. They're just concerned about you, and want you to be happy.

And more importantly, why would you care?

Status: Made a library that is actually useful.
Basically, you give it a function and it gives back a function that looks identical to the caller but remembers return values for the arguments you already called it with.

Anyway, the first quarter of the lessons consisted of working out the good and bad sides of presentations for which I then gave them a succinct summary to follow. Then they were to create a presentation using Powerpoint while following the guidelines I laid out for them.
First off, fuck coddled students. Glad your administration is standing behind you. You are just getting them ready for the real world where their boss won't give a shit about excuses.
Second, I always gave my students a link to a blog post by Guy Kawasaki that I think sums up how presentations should be treated: http://guykawasaki.com/the_102030_rule/

Status: SonarSource deprecated the SonarQube Eclipse plugin, wanting you to switch to SonarLint. I started down that path, but apparently it's not going to be a drop in replacement until v2 considering there's no way to link the SonarLint plugin to your SonarQube server. GREAT JOB WELL DONE.

she deserved it. only for the whole "wasn't well for the first two hours but recovered later on"
.
If you haven't done your homework, even after an extension, well, grow the fuck up and face the consequences.

I've bought a truck with hundred dollar bills before.
It was fun. In retrospect a briefcase full of fives would have been even better.

The best defense is a good offense. In high school some girl walked past me once and started singing "dude looks like a lady". I said "no I don't...and neither do you."
Ya gotta nip that shit in the bud.
-
Oh, it didn't bother me at all. The yelling and the poor grammar and the "fag" just reminded me of HS.

I'm behind on my reading. Unless that's one I already read--now that I think about it I think I know which one you mean.

I actually gave them this very rule (and also stated that it's a rule, not a law - you may break it but you better have a damn good reason for it!)

Status: I absolutely adore people who use wrong examples for their framework in their own tutorials.
Case in point: FabricJS
If you want to get a string representation of the canvas contents you're supposed to use this:
var str = JSON.stringify(canvas);
Only that sometimes it's not a string but an object, but that's only a side issue.
String(str)
fixes that.The problem ensues when you try to take this string and paste it back onto the canvas.
According to the tutorial it's as easy as:
canvas.loadFromJSON(str);
This results in the canvas doing funky things, like displaying the contents only on a MouseDown, vanishing on a MouseUp and similar silliness.
Then I romped through the docs (which don't have a quick list with hyperlinks for methods and properties on the beginning so you're forced to scroll through the whole page if you're searching for something like "QuackLikeADuck()" - fuck that!) and found out that it's supposed to be:
canvas.loadFromJSON(str, canvas.renderAll.bind(canvas));
Yes, of course, that's blinding obvious!
-
canvas.renderAll.bind(canvas)
Wait, is that a callback to bind itself to itself?!
Status: Annoyed at this file To Be Imported. Apparently, Null values aren't represented by having nothing between field delimiters (it's a "csv" file masquerading as a .xls file with Unix line endings ). No, that would be too simple, and easy to datamap for bulk import. Instead, we'll represent nulls as
.
, which means SSIS will reject the whole row due to data conversion errors (after all, what does "." mean as an int or even datetime?).Varchar(20)
it is then...
Filed under: I am not going to write a special convertor for your special fields!

Status: This reminded me of a "Mind=blown" thing that cropped up with one of the newer developers on the team.
In .net, we have Events. Code elsewhere can bind to events and that code will be called whenever an Event is raised.
The biggest PITA about Events is that, when you're raising an event, if there are no bindings for the event, raising it will throw a NullReferenceException. So every damned time you're going to raise an event, you need to check to see if it is bound like so:
[code]
if(SomeEvent != null)
{
SomeEvent(this, args)
}[/code]Which is pretty damned bizarre syntax, ugly, and asking for trouble because you have to do it all over the place (or abstract it out, which is annoying).
Anyway, new team member was griping about this. I also hate it. I personally prefer to bind a no-op event handler to every event in the object's constructor, meaning I can just raise events because I am guaranteed* that there will always be at least one handler for every event.
I told the guy this. He's been a .net programmer since the beginning of time. Just straight mind-blown silence.
*Guarantee assumes no jackass has either cleared them or gone and gotten clever with reflection, which makes this approach unsuitable for code that will be used by people you can't punch in the face on your way to your boss' office to resign. They really need to build an implicit null check in at the compiler level.
