@cartman82 You be missin' some quotes there, son.
$options['headers'][0] == 'x-li-format => json'
, yes? At least I think PHP will interpret it as such if it doesn't error out in the first place, too lazy to check.

Yup. PHP will "help out" and "do the right thing".
No PHP, how about you let ME decide what's the right thing, mkay?

I prefer Spot the Dog.
I tried a GIS for “spot the bug dog” to see if I found anything memesomely humorous, and discovered instead a vast number of images that I never want to see again. Canine skin parasites? :NOPEbillion:

Unfortunately no.
My invoice is in the post.
STATUS Peppy! Today I work up the courage to draw a line in the sand. I will not write any more code unless I can write tests along side it. And I will get my refactor. I suspect this will last all of two hours.

Status: wrote two unit tests so far today. They test for opposite results from scenarios I haven't yet differentiated between in the method I'm testing, so while one of them might pass off the bat, one will definitely fail.
They both pass.

Long live PHP and "associative arrays"! Ugh.
You know what would help? If you could use
stdClass

in JS, but noooo.

Status: So, I wanted to see how to render mathematical formulas on my website. Mathjax seems to the package of choice.
And they even give you an easy way to install it:
npm install --save mathjax
However, everything in the documentation assumes that you install mathjax by hand using
<script>
tags. And the documentation tells you that 'using npm does not install the png fonts.'So, this leaves me with three questions:
a) What does leaving out the png fonts actually mean?
b) Where do I get those fonts from and where do I put them (in case I do need them)?
c) How do I actually use that fucking package because the docs says it's very important to configure mathjax before loading the actual code.I'm not really in the mood for guessing games.

@loopback0 WHAT? Look at those teeth, obviously evolved for eating carrots, but we don't let dogs dig in our gardens any more so they had to adapt and start eating meat. It's just bringing them back to nature!

I once had to fix a problem where several million rows had been "accidentally" added to a live table which normally only had a couple of thousand. Slowed down a lot of reports and killed that area of the applicaiton until it was sorted
It was something to do with an import file being corrupted and pulling in a load of lines that should have been part of one line IIRC. The file had only been imported in live, and had taken several hours so it wasn't appropriate to run the same thing on a test environment for crafting the delete and I had to do it directly on the live database. Fun times.
Oh, I remember. It was supposed to be importing a plain text file but simehow got hold of a large .xlsx, which it read in as text. I quickly changed the importer to not accept unexpected extensions

So, turns out that "it's not a CommonJS module", intended to "help with asset management".
Great. Not seeing the purpose of putting it on npm then in the first place if you can't use it like 99% of the other packages out there. Bonus points for not mentioning this anywhere.

Status: fixed my test setup from earlier (I made a stupid about what constituted an 'earlier date') and still had all tests passing when one shouldn't have been.
After considerable fruitless effort to debug my test code, I realised I'd neglected to add JUnit's @Test annotation.
-
@cartman82 Well since you're using an editor that does color-coding (and also uses what has to be the world's ugliest font, WTF?), it's pretty obvious, isn't it?
That said, I'm not sure why omitting an "x-" header would ever be a bug necessarily. Especially one that is redundant with either the Accept or Content-Type headers.

DejaVu Sans Mono. The best you can get on Linux, I'm affraid, with the way it's rendering fonts. Although, windows isn't much better either.

Is it Java's fault? It's Java's fault, isn't it?
-

I wouldn't call this significantly better.
It's just something about how JAVA renders fonts.

Big whoop. I drink vegan beer. And I'm a little bit horrified at what someone will post in response to prove that not all beer is vegan. They don't mind yeast, right?

@DogsB The "what was stopping you before?" was a legit question. Like, would you have been fired for writing tests? Would they have shot your dog? I'm curious.
