@Gąska How far back are you headed?
Only seven more months.

@Gąska so it's not Erlang or Haskell, then.

@kazitor My first bunch of HTML on the greater internet, the HTML spec didn't yet include style tags. IIRC, even
<table>
wasn't universally supported.I was wondering how many of us had pages that predate CSS. Even after support was pretty well established it took me a while to switch over.
My first page pre-dated CSS, but did have some copy-pasta'd JavaScript that made a message scroll across the status bar.

lol I also found my old Tripod page for Babylon 5 CCG decks.
I can't find my old old old personal page. If I can even remember the URL, I'll check Internet Archive.

@Gąska Well this is from Scala s homepage
Scala combines object-oriented and functional programming in one concise, high-level language. Scala's static types help avoid bugs in complex applications, and its JVM and JavaScript runtimes let you build high-performance systems with easy access to huge ecosystems of libraries.
The first sentence got me hard before I realised it. Since I have grown very cautious of claims like this I had to ask here. Somebody around here must have played with Scala.
Also what the fuck is up with the red bubble when you type on mobile? It always ends up hiding something.

@Gribnit I remember Haskell. I took a class with Haskell at Uni and the professors loved wanking over it. Lots of a academic circle jerk going on. This was 8 years go. No idea if the language and the libraries around it have improved since then.

The language itself won't have changed much; it does what it does, and it is hard to see the people in charge of it changing their minds much on what that should be. Implementations and libraries might be better.

Ruby
I have not before heard a good rant against Ruby. Care to enlighten me?
-
@stillwater Scala does in fact combine object oriented and functional programming. That part is nice. It's the rest of it which is a pain. There are just so many goddamn features. Did you read that article I linked?

Haskell doesn't 'improve', not the way you're thinking of it. Its goal is to be as much of a pure functional language as possible, never mind that because of it nobody can actually write anything useful in it. If you want a serious functional language that still understands that sometimes you need mutability, try F#.
-
@pie_flavor said in The Official Status Thread:
try F#
That does seem to be quite a nice language. I've seen people do clever things with it, such as exposing externally-defined controlled vocabularies as systems of types.
-
@pie_flavor Oh I did. Regardless of the fact that I do not know the language, it looks like a solid WTF fest. I hope not all Scala code is like that unless some hipster clever cunt writes something obtuse and convoluted on purpose. Also if the language is sprinkled with fuckiness like this then yeah no boner.
As far as F# I remember following the tutorial on VS Code with Ionide but that shit was breaking and lot of error toasters were thrown. It seems to work well on Visual Studio though. F# is on the very top on the things I wanna learn right next to Rust. Only time will tell.
-
@stillwater said in The Official Status Thread:
right next to Rust
Good man. Also I can't speak to the functionality of Ionide but if you're using VSC for actual development you're

My experience with it is it allows you to do basic things with a one liner and complex things with a series of incomprehensible one liners.

@DogsB So it's basically functional Perl?

@pie_flavor What's wrong with VSC? Was using it exclusively for Typescript + Angular and it was a smooth experience.

@stillwater Everything made with Electron is godawful, end of.

Must be a lot of when debugging when your manager wants it done yesterday.

I don't know what the fuck is up with people at MS. Their develop-test-release cycle is fucked up. I'm having trouble making sense of anything at this point with these APIs oh my God. Full rant coming in a few hours but these motherfuckers should fix their shit. Oh and the docs! Oh god the docs!
-
@stillwater saddest thing is that they're still one of the best doc makers in the entire industry.

Even more appropriate one:

They seemingly use a develop-release-“test (lol)” cycle.

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

The docs are fantastic but the moment the doc starts playing catch up with the new features and API changes and the docs are neither fully previous version or next version and it becomes useless. Half the shit is documented as bugs on GitHub and there is a lot of running around only to find out someone go "the issue is being investigated" :(

Status: HP bullshit assistant said there was an update to the Intel wifi driver. So I said OK, install (what's the worst thing that could happen?).
That was exactly 30 minutes ago. The progress bar is still steadily moving. I haven't lost hope.
Update: lost connection right as I was about to post this. Installation finished shortly after and I regained it. Thanks Intel, you didn't entirely screw up in this particular instance.
-
@dkf The bugs in the APIs im working with should have easily been caught if someone followed the instructions exactly like they say. There is a lot of "Oh sorry I copy pasted this from another template. This example should work after the next pull request"
Get the fuck out of here
-
@anonymous234 Why haven't you uninstalled that piece of shit?
-
@stillwater You know what's more fun? Microsoft "helpfully" translating their tech docs using Bing. Works well every time!
-
@Atazhaia yeah, it pisses me off to no end. I've since added a rule to Redirector, a Firefox extension, to change "pl-pl" to "en-us" in URL. Works like a charm.

18 hour work day.
We're having issues with KB4483234, on some machines it's causing deeply weird problems. Helpfully the afflicted machines are the critical ones and removing it doesn't then fix the problems, sic semper erit and all that
Edit: Completely unable to fix this machine, the Client Side Caching is totally stuffed and even new profiles hang when they try to do GPO stuff

A test setup was run yesterday evening and left completely unbothered by external requests. It did almost nothing apart from writing 100M of test log for testing reasons (hence the name). And yet it managed to vomit a database timeout at about 8 o'clock in the morning due to
sp_spaceused
failing to run in the allocated 3 goddamn seconds. What urgent matters of global importance did MSSQLSERVER have to do at that particular length of time?

I'll probably bite the bullet and upgrade my PC this year but that will mean moving to windows 10. Not the worst thing in the world. I'm largely oblivious to the underlying OS because of third party apps and disabling auto update when I get my setup stable. However disabling auto update appears to be a non option and my favourite desktop replacement doesn't appear to have support post windows 7. I'm not sure I have it in my heart to deal with OS bullshit any more.

@Cursorkeys I don't blame them. Their browser is basically a Chrome clone developed from scratch, yet it has 1/10th of the market purely because of name recognition.

@Cursorkeys At least the first hit is a better option than both what you searched for and what you used to search for it!

@HardwareGeek said in The Official Status Thread:
Yes, several. Assembly, on some long-forgotten mainframe, was my second programming class. I'd even had an informal introduction to assembly on a minicomputer from an older student while I was in high school.
IIRC, I had to do (probably very intro-level and not all that advanced) assembly for x86, MIPS, and 68HC11.
Also Fortran. ELF90 I think? All I remember was that dynamically allocating memory was horrible. Either I was seriously missing something or the language was just horribly broken because my programs seemed that they would always crash (or maybe it was they didn't even compile? I don't remember) the minute I started trying to dynamically allocate memory. And yes, I knew that you had to free it when you were done with it.
C, by comparison, gave me no problems with dynamic allocation/deallocation of memory, and I don't remember there being any big "reveals" that changed my understanding of it between Fortran and C. Fortran just... sucked.

It was commented that my tab-bar looked like a Toblerone. I find it really handy for research, you have a full breadcrumb trail available. And I can use it as a queue for interesting stuff I can look at later.
