@the_quiet_one There was a story on this site a year (or two?) ago from a guy who had made a few commits on the mongodb (?) repo on Github who was offended that nobody was throwing money and praise at him just for completing a job application. He finished his blog post with some "helpful" tips for prospective employers to consider. The most important thing, apparently, is that you have to have heard of him.
Sooo cringe worthy.
I can't remember the last time I took Microsoft's word for anything, their promises that this would be a wholly new product is no exception. "Optimized for Windows 10" apparently means "it's only available on Windows 10".
I move windows by holding down caps+MMB and resize with caps+ctrl+MMB.
Wat.

Well now there's a whole site for people with no social skills to ask other people with no social skills how to socialise.
Fucking lol. SO is the last place I would go to learn about social skills. This is the same site which prides itself on being needlessly pedantic about what kinds of questions are acceptable.. why do they think this will work?
@Maciejasjmj said in I'm getting tired of this npm shit:
I'd rather have someone else provide it for me.
It is redundant anyways, "isBetween" doesn't need to be a function in the first place because all languages come with greater/less than operators. What you're really saying is that NPM fans don't want to think. If you'd rather have someone else provide it for you, why bother with the whole "software developer" career at all? It's probably easier to become an accountant than it is to figure out which JS build module you should be using anyways.
You say I'm right for the wrong reasons, but you follow that with something that exactly proves my point. You don't want to write it because someone may have done that already. Well guess what, someone has already done everything. All of the problems we work on today have been solved and resolved for decades, yet we keep plugging away because that's not the point of programming or CS in general. At least on a basic level we think this is fun, right? How is creating a dependency list fun?
I believe a module should be a self contained package with some special functionality, something built for a purpose. The only "purpose" for building an "isBetween" function for NPM is to put "X number of modules published on NPM". I tend to think these modules are built by code camp "graduates" who, having no experience with other languages or package managers, just dump every brain fart into a module and call it a career.
We've achieved peak-hipster. Foodies? Check. Vegan? Check. Overly expensive soap? Check. Terrible taglines? Check.
Also, one of them is called "Sharni". I really hope that's an ethnic name.
@cartman82 said in I'm getting tired of this npm shit:
There are obvious advantages to its small modules ethos.
I really can't agree. This post shows quite well how a "small module ethos" works in practice. There are whole piles of software entirely written by other people, yet those who create the JSON configuration files that glue those modules together get to call themselves developers, engineers even? This is exactly why I am an NPM hater. I understand, fundamentally, NIH-syndrome because it makes sense. Programmers want to write code, even if that means reinventing the wheel for no reason other than "because I can". This approach is the exact opposite of NIH, nothing can ever be invented here because someone, somewhere, already wrote that code. It is development for people who either hate or don't want to understand programming.
The designers in my company do far more complex things than fizzbuzz every day, they like learning the challenging programming stuff. This girl is just straight up lazy.
@Polygeekery There's nothing "new" about chip and pin cards. You Americans are just way, way behind the times.

further than you imagined possible
Wow, vague hand-wavy sales jargon from an unproven nobody. You're so hired, bro. Just don't have him/her do any math.
Richard Stallman is an idiot, and the FSF is run by idiots. I say that as someone who doesn't totally hate their ideas, I just find them completely unrealistic and pointless. Plus, the fact it's open source doesn't make software any more private. OSS is just mob rule in disguise, you can do anything if you convince enough people to agree with you (or look the other way).
At this point Equifax should just admit defeat and cease operations. The only reason they haven't yet is because they don't really have customers, yet somehow they've been allowed to aggregate data on everyone without their permission and without any kind of federal oversight (in any country). Amazeballs.
I used to browse a niche website that used Admiral tech to "control their advertising environment". They don't use it anymore, presumably because they realized that as soon as users got one of their dumb popups they just bailed and went somewhere else.
The "publishing" industry thinks paywalls are the solution to all of their problems. I don't know what the actual solution is, but the fact they no longer have a monopoly over the distribution of written words makes me pretty happy.

I'll take "what the fuck is that" for $2000, Alex.
I'm pretty sure it means "jail", but being England it may be slang for Australia or something.
Pay $40 now (regular $500!!), start earning $77k/year immediately afterwards. Seriously? What a fucking scam.

Is this a common phrase wherever you're from? It sounds hilariously dirty to me.
I wonder if it defeats computer viruses by sending in waves of orcs to fight them in brutal hand to hand combat.
I am sad for the frontend guys we have here. They aren't really following the trends. There used to be a lot of value in having an "html/css specialist". The kind of guys who knew all the quirks of the old browsers. Who could optimize the page to look pixel-perfect on IE5 / IE6, using obscure tricks and hacks you never even heard of. But that kind of skill is really falling out of fashion.
I was one of those people, however instead of sitting on that niche forever I decided to learn new skills. Apparently, a lot of people decided that was as much about the internet as they needed to know and gave up. Evolve or die.
I updated as soon as I could and have noticed some battery life issues. It reset all the app permissions I'd configured in iOS9 so everything could update in the background. It was a good opportunity to go through and update those perms though, so I didn't really mind. As for the messages app, I can only use all that shit with one contact so I haven't bothered looking into it. Either I'm not cool enough to understand why stickers are a big deal or I'm too old, either way it's just something else I won't ever use.
Derp.tap = (o, fn) -> fn(o); o

I don't understand people who think this abomination makes Javascript better.
That happened to me the other day when I accidentally overwrote $PATH. ls, man, git... all not found.
@zupa You can't show me how it would save time, or how powerful it is, either. I don't know how you'd sell software to replace something they already know and don't have to pay for, though I'm sure there are salespeople out there who would like to try.
It appears to be early days for your product but all in all it doesn't seem like you're attempting to solve any of the problems anyone has with web content management systems. Also, saying "I can't tell you, I can only show you" is a classic salesman tactic that only works on middle managers who would rather be sold on marketing fluff than actual functionality.
@zupa So, basically, no it is not free for anyone who would actually use it the way you want them to. One website per server for free? Good luck pitching that to web shops/agencies, I can run as many (for example) Wordpress instances as I want on my servers and I don't have to pay them anything. I also get the added bonus of being able to hire people who know Wordpress already, no training required.
So, I would have to pay but your value proposition is.. what, exactly? That it's fast? That isn't a concern anymore. What else you got?
@TimeBandit I just googled it, apparently it's like JRuby but for PHP. I don't know why people want to try running everything on the JVM.
This is exactly the kind of quality I expected from a reality TV star who accidentally became POTUS. Looking forward to laughing, from a significant distance, over the next 2 years (when he will get impeached for doing something stupid).
No end of trouble using docker here. Once a day the VM runs out of memory and hangs until you force-quit it, docker/boot2docker doesn't properly report when it's done doing something, configuration is weird because your code files live in the VM but also on your HDD, running the container is slow because of some networking issue (moving files over SMB or something) that I don't fully recall, setting it up is a pain in the ass, sometimes it refuses to start/stop, the list goes on.
All this to avoid running our ruby apps directly so we can avoid local environment issues. Not that we don't see local environment issues, we just have another layer to debug when they (inevitably) appear.
Wordpress needs to be entirely rewritten. I don't even care if you don't use an MVC framework, just trash the whole thing and start again.
@polygeekery The last 2, yes. But I'm not American (or British), so the chances are lower. I don't even know if they operate in my country.
And yes I can, as I had never heard of Equifax before this breach yet you're still claiming that I gave them permission. I gave no such explicit permission to Equifax, ever. Promise. You're trying to make the argument that because some other company says "we may check your credit..." in one of their many long form fine print documents that I have given them permission to know everything about me, but this argument is wrong. You're arguing from a legal perspective (which I don't care about, obviously this company was operating legally - my point has nothing to do with that) while I am arguing from the POV of the average consumer.
If my data ends up on the dark web because this company did not protect it properly, that is wrong. If they got that data without asking me personally for my explicit permission, that is wrong squared. Yes, it may be legal. Lots of things are legal right now. Your pedantry is irrelevant.
@Andrew-Scott Thankfully, no. This is just an example of poor management. They're passing the buck down the chain, hoping someone else would do it. So, I'd recommend doing the same thing, assign the task to the person who should be doing it and go back to Youtube.
Not sure if this was pointed out before, but this guy works for a company that markets a competing product - "Co-founder of Ably: Simply better realtime messaging". Kind of taints the whole post for me.
I've accidentally committed passwords to repos before, never for anything important though, so I understand how easy it is. That said, there's really no reason to put important shit like that in the repo at all. Environmental variables exist for a reason! Failing that, at least put it in a non-versioned config file. Sigh.
These personality-like tests are bullshit and I refuse to participate. I'm only here to judge everyone else from my superior world view box.
I've never been happier to own an old car. Lackadaisical security, pointless "connected" features, so much conflicting software that you can't turn off the damn radio.. makes you wonder why anyone buys new. Who is asking for this shit?

If this didn’t blow your mind, read this section again.
The section is about using prebuilt modules together to create a new module (sorry, "application"). Clearly we are not worthy if we don't find this approach particularly novel in 2016.

This is from a ~1000 line god object, contained within one of ~600 files that used to contain ~9900 (now ~1100) ruby style violations and numerous larger issues like cyclomatic complexity and ABC violations, which I have taken upon myself to refactor because I like pain and sadness, apparently. Oh well, it wouldn't be any fun if it was easy.
<?php eval("a: goto a;"); // works ?>
This is the worst PHP code I've ever seen.
@Gribnit Fuck outta here with that legitimate career advice.
I'd rather go back to using a dumb phone forever than reward them for their incompemalic by purchasing a device (even to gut it and install a new OS).
Maybe you're a secret US DoD defence contractor and you didn't even know it.
I'm confused. Do you get 3 phones with the "Herschel" package? Or does one phone have 3 SoC's, storage devices and sets of RAM chips?
This is one of the shinier bitcoin scams, I'll give them that. In it's folded form I think it looks pretty nice. in it's "expanded" form it looks like they're trying to channel those early 2000's vertical camcorders that I always thought were heinous.
Edit: Holy shit you do get 3 processors in one device. Why? WHY?!? I could understand 1.5TB of storage and 30GB RAM, but 3 processors serves literally no purpose.
@timebandit I didn't even know we had a web filter (meraki) at work until I clicked that link, which is apparently blocked for "adult and pornograpghy". :\
@dcon Depends if you think their customers are the people whose data they own or the government of a country that some of those people live in? I can't think of any reason the US gov't would need anything provided by Equifax, don't they already have the IRS for that?
This from the language that thinks typeof NaN == "number"
is a good idea? I am shocked and appalled.
