That's why the Polish put diacritics on every other letter. So no-one will suspect it's really Spanish.

Are you rapist? 'No' isn't a good enough answer.
Most of us, says Hanzo James, are non-rapist. While that leaves us with a clear conscience, he argues, it does nothing to help fight injustice in the world. In fact, we can pull off being non-rapist by being asleep in bed while women, men and children are being raped.
I didn't say it was a PHP stupid. It is the fact that the script is so badly written that it requires 3GB to send, maybe, 200 emails...
Have I fixed it? Nope. There are far larger fuck-ups to fix than this oneIs there a "I have difficulties believing what I just read but only because I would like so much for the world to be a nice place, even for PHP programmers" emoticon? Preferably a mulatto person thinking that.

Wait while I'm patenting BSODaaS.
How can a Senior Architect think like that? Did he learn nothing? Did he get the job because his CV looked so cool with all his knowledge about open source Javascript frameworks?
If you contract Senior and Agile, you get Senile. Seems appropriate here.
In comparison, I can disassemble my Thinkpad X220 and reassemble it completely in the same amount of time as it took me just to get to access the DVD drive in the Macbook Pro.
You'd say that an array with undefined values is an array with undefined values, right? Not in Javascript. There is a difference between var a = new Array(3), and var b = [undefined, undefined, undefined]. Both are arrays with 3 undefined values, and a[i] === b[i]. They behave identical in a loop. So far so good. But now try a.map(fun) vs b.map(fun). The second one returns [fun(undefined), fun(undefined), fun(undefined)], as you expect, but the first one returns something like new Array(3): 3 undefined values, and fun never gets called. And filter is even less consistent: a.filter(fun) simply returns [], whatever function you provide.
Yes, it gets mentioned in the documentation (of map, but not of filter), but ... WHY? Who the fuck thought that would be a good idea?
Full of expectation, I started browsing Yahoo Answers, but I was disappointed. Early in the list was the question GENDER STUDIES: Is a 43 year old dating a 17 year old wrong?. That is a very provocative title, so my expectations were high, but most answers are so damn reasonable, it's disheartening. What happened to good old trolling? Or the question I'm 14 years old and pregnant. I found out that I will be having a girl. Any names and middle name ideas. Thanks?. People are just expressing sympathy and write the names they like. Where is the bigotry, the hate, the harassment, the stupidity? I'd almost regain my faith in humanity.

A power grid? Controllable from outside? That sounds really bad. Also highly unlikely it was the candidate's own work. I figure he found the access somehow and now tries to impress. Alert the companies, possibly using a security research company as intermediary.
I'm not getting the high expectations. 15 years ago, I worked on a NLP search engine. It never got enough clients. Nobody was really interested. Ok, the sales team was a joke, that didn't help, but nobody really cared if the proper answer was directly given or a click or two away. NLP is a nice add-on, but only for occasional use, and if it doesn't cost a dime.
From what I read in that article, their NLP engine is going to fail miserably, and the product with it. People are only willing to type long questions and statements if they are infrequent users. Otherwise they'll want a more efficient UI. And if it took the team months to get basic chat functionality working, they'll not be able to get dialog management working, because that is much more complex.
The board seems standard US style: arrogant, aggressive, and blind to their own errors and ignorance, as if becoming a chairman automatically turns you into Oppenheimer.

That's sad, I was hoping that this whole open source Nodejs would be killed along with JavaScript and @blakeyrat would be happy for once.
Well, if it makes blakey miserable, then I'll start evangelizing node immediately. How about starting with "The 10 Commandments of Agile Webendâ„¢(*)"?
I. Thou shalt honor the end user, who works his mysterious ways through various browsers, possibly including IE6.
II. Thou shalt keep thy backend in a virtual image, and put at least one Docker inside another Docker.
III. Thou shalt write all thy functions asynchronously, no matter how absurd it is, for it is the only way.
Etc., until
X. Thou shalt not covet Ruby, C# nor Java, for those are tools of Evil.

@cartman82 said in Let's whine about react/redux:
Then someone realised: "Hey, what about when we want to get some actual data into our perfect system. You know, like through... ajax requests?"
Thus, sagas were born.
You mean: Someone realised: with all this power, can we really control ourselves, or are we going to fuck over the mortals in subtle, and sometimes not-so-subtle, ways?
And lo, He gave the weapon of Side Effects to Pandora, who hid it in her box, where He knew the mortals would one day discover it and use it to their doom. And thus began the saga of Cartman.
Sing me, oh Muse, of that man skilled in all ways of programming, the hacker, harried for years on end.

@cartman82 said in Let's whine about react/redux:
sagas
Ok, I lost it there. That's a really good joke! The irony of using ever more grandiose words to describe mundane programming actions ... It's the work of a fine comedian. What will they think of when they need to combine sagas, or have some weird abstraction over sagas where all powerful objects send messages? A mythology?
Lemme guess: it all started out as a simple, sane idea, which was then shoehorned into every possible library and function?
For extra fun, try this: JSON.stringify(Infinity). The answer is the same for JSON.stringify(-Infinity), of course.
Because omniboxes are broken by design. Addressing and search are simply not the same thing...

Why is the Deliverator so equipped? Because people rely on him. He is a role model. This is America. People do whatever the fuck they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can fucking stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it -- talking trade balances here -- once we've brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they're making cars in Bolivia and microwave ovens in Tadzhikistan and selling them here -- once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel -- once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani brickmaker would consider to be prosperity -- y'know what? There's only four things we do better than anyone else
music
movies
microcode (software)
high-speed pizza delivery
The Deliverator used to make software. Still does, sometimes. But if life were a mellow elementary school run by well-meaning education Ph.D.s, the Deliverator's report card would say: "Hiro is so bright and creative but needs to work harder on his cooperation skills."

Riiiiight. I suppose the unhandled exception bubbling up to the caller is perfectly inline with the original intent of the post, and helps everyone on SO, right?
So, to be the devil's advocate: your change adds unnecessary complexity to some simple sample code, and is indeed not in the spirit of the original answer.

I don't get you, Blakey. First, the article explicitly says "a local attacker".

What? Cant fight back effectively vs can fight back effectively can't be evaluated? Just sounds like an attempt to dismiss an argument, to me. And that's clearly what this thread is for: arguments.
@Grunnen said in NPM package that does nothing accidentally removed, breaks shit AGAIN:
I'm not a JS developer, but from reading such news I wonder: why don't they have unstable / stable branches or something like that?
There's no need: everything npm is unstable. It's job protection.
Or a racket, depending on how you look at it.
You might learn something about yourself.
