So if Ruby is dying and .NET is dying and PHP is dying, does that mean the future is NodeJS? Because if it is, fuck that noise.

@dkf and doing so in a literal contender for new worst language ever! Finally PHP is looking so much better

Hey @boomzilla what are you doing here?
So, @royal_poet and I picked up a box of T.I.M.E. Stories this weekend and settled down to play.
And in the 1920s asylum... there's @boomzilla!
Better view...
Naturally, wooden table.

RE: This is how it feels to learn Javascript in 2016
@anonymous234 to be brutally honest I'm getting fed up of the whole web thing, it's like all the problems that were solved twenty years ago are suddenly new problems again and I'm tempted to fuck off to regular desktop development because that seems less full of ...

RE: The Backup Likes Thread - Because it's not the same, now with semi(?)-mandatory likes and questions?
I have made my stand against Jeff, and frankly I tire of trying to fix something that will not be fixed.

Politics category
It seems that we have a 'few' politics threads going on right now.
Might I suggest a politics category where we can Jeff the threads to and then be able to ignore the entire category for those of us who don't habitually wear flame retardant chemicals?

Another shameful day for limerick enthusiasts.
There was a young man in Limerick,
Who thought maps just a gimmick,
He asked someone for help,
And gave out quite a yelp,
When his wallet stolen by said prick!Not my finest hour but couldn’t resist giving it a go.

@Arantor Are you really such an old fart already ?
Oh wait, JavaScript... - could have been lastmonthweekdayI am an old fart because I remember the XmlHttpRequest being proprietary to MS with version specific constructors and I remember fudging it with hidden iframes in IE4.
These days we use the term xhr but few people remember it wasn’t ever intended to be used with JSON.

which was the original point of the "For Dummies" books.
A concept I found hilarious when I found "Windows 95 Registry For Dummies" was a real book with real actual documentation in it about the Registry and its workings.
Did you remember when there was books about XML? I think sometime I saw a job post with knowledge of XML as a requirement
No wonder many things are moving away from that
I remember when AJAX genuinely meant “Asynchronous JavaScript And XML”.

RE: Stupid questions thread
As ever, wish I hadn’t said anything at all let alone something half-tongue-in-cheek over the fact that the previous conversation asserted a great deal more than the singular fact being claimed. Specifically that damn near everything was political all the time according to you and that I was in the wrong for so much as breathing an idea (not even the one I agreed with you about)
Don’t worry, you can have this garage back too.

You were ninja’d by the first commentard in El Reg’s comments section. But yes.

RE: WTF Bites
@Bulb ah, well, I thought I’d post it in case it was useful, though if you’re doing this with DZ you can also have a finalisation step once the chunks are sent, I use this to kick off a side process in the background to begin processing the uploads, but no reason you couldn’t do that if needed.
Higher level libraries are nice if they do what you need… DropZone had to be cajoled into doing what I needed.

RE: WTF Bites
I mean, really, having to munge the XHR like this really should be considered a WTF.
Overloading
send
like that? Awful. There must be a better way! (No idea what it is.)There isn’t that I know of, because xhr by default wants to send a file as a file, I.e. multipart like a well behaved regular upload, but Shitpoint at least wants the PUT body to be the content, so here you go, overloading send.
