RE: PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS in UTAH!
@blakeyrat said in PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS in UTAH!:
Are you talking about prohibition during the 1920s?
Yep, got lost in translation.
And the answer is: churches don't use real wine, and haven't for ages, they use grape juice.
OK, maybe around there or it's a protestant thing, but around here they use real 15% alcohol wine of the best quality...
The Wikipedia agrees with you:
These denominations include Pentecostals, Baptists, Methodists, some Churches of Christ, and other Evangelical groups.
Lame! Go Catholics!

RE: PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS in UTAH!
@xaade maybe some usamerican can explain the whole deal between your famous "dry law" and the drinking wine during the sacristy thing. You weren't allow to drink alcohol except during religious offerings?

RE: Escaping SQL parameters
TRWTF is that you are not using a code analysis tool before throwing this shit onto people.

RE: Cross platform desktop app
@Captain how can you think when you have to write this?
Prelude> putStrLn "Hello World"
Was using "print" or "echo" so hard? Hell, even "System.out.println" seems reasonable now.

RE: Cross platform desktop app
@cartman82 said in Cross platform desktop app:
No C++ is a strategic decision on my part. I feel that a compiled non-GC language is a 100% in or out kind of proposition. You can't dabble with that stuff. Either spend years wrapping your head around it or don't use it at all. Anything in the middle is recipe for memory leaks and terrible code in general.
I agree... hey! You've got Rust, I believe you can easily bind Qt with it.

@Eldelshell said in Cross platform desktop app:
The download is not bigger than 10MB for an executable JAR.
I've seen full applications ship in much less. This industry is so bloatedβ¦
Yeah, I made the same app (not a port but a whole rewrite) on Google Chrome and it's 710KB
BTW, @cartman82 that's another option, write a Google Chrome packaged app. Only problem is that for users to install it, it has to be either on the store or have Chrome on development mode.

RE: Cross platform desktop app
@cartman82 said in Cross platform desktop app:

You're doing something very wrong here. Probably including JSE or some stupid thing like that. A JavaFX app I made:

RE: A minor hiccup from a Samsung DVD player and, err, Netflix
Technically, this apps are web pages. What I find strange is that, in general, Samsung apps are packaged and only do API calls, but I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung allowed Netflix to use a hosting model. Even more strange is that Netflix allows this messages to popup when they're really easy to customize, redirect, etc.

RE: How do you document HTTP requests on a REST endpoint
@Yamikuronue said in How do you document HTTP requests on a REST endpoint:
@Eldelshell You're probably overthinking this
I agree.
-
RE: How do you document HTTP requests on a REST endpoint
@RaceProUK only on some endpoints certain headers are required and I want this to be documented. Also, some endpoints return xml or json based on the accept header but anything else will return a 400.
-
RE: How do you document HTTP requests on a REST endpoint
Sorry, I should have mentioned we're using JSDoc although we could change to something else.
-
How do you document HTTP requests on a REST endpoint
On a NodeJS/Express app we're documenting our endpoints like:
/** * A GET request like /api/foo?key=1234 * @param {Integer} foo - foo */
How would I document that this endpoints requires an specific HTTP header like "Accept" and the options required: "application/json"?

RE: Could you pass a US citizenship test?
Not bad myself with 75% which could have been higher if I payed more attention to Assassin's Creed story.
There are some questions that leave you thinking, like:
What major event happened on September 11, 2001, in the United States?
Wonder why the answers are not more precise. Sounds, I don't know, iffy. Like a click bait article.
Why did the colonists fight the British?
The options were like "British are evil and mean". I got that one wrong as I answered "because of high taxes"
What is one reason colonists came to America?
Freedom? Really?

RE: ORMs
I hate ORMs, I despise SQL and I loathe NoSQL.
You would think that by 2016 there would be an easier way to store data which integrates with the code you write, but no, you have to keep your tables and your models synchronized in the most annoying way possible. For fucks sake, not even the data types are 100% compatible.
Hell, you'd expect at least SQLServer + .Net and Oracle + JEE to be fully integrated and that ain't happening. And no, no code you provide, no example you give of how cool LINQ or Hibernate are, while I, manually, have to do an ALTER TABLE every time I change a class model, I'll keep thinking that the system is broken in the same way it has been for the past 40 years.
At the time I thought Informix4GL was dumb, but after having to maintain stupid enterprise SQL backed monsters for too long, I find it that they were right and everyone else was wrong.

RE: World's biggest startup ?
I worked at a place that tried this. We got three pilot projects canceled after going by all the required channels (legal, marketing, UX, branding, internal IT, etc) which is exactly against a startup culture because in enterprise, you've got to feed a lot of people.
I must say it didn't go that well and that company is still sinking. On the plus side, since everything is slow, I got two full months of pay for doing nothing and staying at home.

RE: Guy brings down thousands of npm builds
Not saying this is not stupid but it can also happen in other environments. For example, there's this 3rd party lib which is a dependency for Spring (antlc or something like that) that if it gets removed all hell would break loose.
Again, JavaScript needs some sort of ASF behind it.

RE: The black hole recruitment
Please don't leave this certain Korean company.
Yeah, he sure has to leave the responsibility to someone else after he leaves.
Where I currently work, HR is disorganized as fuck (after I applied, I didn't hear back for 8 weeks), and the job is still great. It only sucks when you have to interact with HR.
Exactly. Almost every place I worked, it was this way.
My advice? Stop communication right now and move on. Yes, it was a dream job, but this shit happens. We just had a project that was canceled from one day to the other and all related positions were put on hold. We'll probably be calling first some of the people that were already selected if a position opens up.

RE: Radar Reboot
IDK if it's because today information flows faster, but the F35 is the joke of aircrafts. Maybe they had the same problems with previous fighters or even if other countries did, but damn the F35 is getting it all. Or maybe they don't give a shit because the next war will use drones and this is a money influx to keep the industry happy.

180k to retain a programmer
So, in a frenzy to retain employees, Twitter has started a retention policy that a Spanish reporter has placed between 50k and 180k the cost of retaining some of that talent.
I myself find the money well spent, but for me in particular, seeing my work fruit being used by millions is more important than a big bonus on the long run.
What do you people feel makes you stay at some place?

Status: who the hell though this was a good idea/UX?
Go to some streaming service site with Google Chrome, try to login and I get a dialog that basically says:
<p>You need to install this Google Chrome plugin</p> <a href="google_store_link">INSTALL</a> <a href="">Not now</a>
Of course I click on the "Not now" thing because I don't want to install more crap. And what do I get, the dialog closes and I can't continue with the login. Shitting me?
Ok, let's try with Firefox:
<p>You need to install SilverLight</p> <a href="">INSTALL</a> <a href="">Not now</a>
ARGG!!!

RE: How bad could it be... ?
Thanks. I just turned them down. I knew there were alarm bells going off, it's just hard to say no when the people seemed nice and the money wasn't bad but it's the right thing to do really
Good for you. I would have done the same thing. And all of those who pointed that experience on an obscure language is a dead end, I totally understand it. In my business there's Roku, with their weird thing of a language. It's not bad, but all the experience you gather on it is not going to open any doors in the future unless you stick to doing Roku apps.

Status: trying to learn something about HbbTV. The thing is so obscure it's like trying to read the Windows kernel source. I mean, I'm used to obscure documentation from TV manufacturers, but this thing, which is supposed to be a "standard" is incredible lacking information. For example, what APIs are exposed by the devices? No wonder it hasn't kicked off.

RE: :fa_child: :fa_long_arrow_right: :fa_male: :fa_long_arrow_right: :toilet: I had so much hope for this candidate
More than the algorithm itself, I find more worrying that he wrote a getAngle function to accept two params on a Clock class. This does demonstrate his lack of OOP understanding. Also, the angle variable is not required on such an easy thing:
var clock = new Clock(); clock.setTime(12, 0); Assert(clock.getAngle() == 0);
