I haz important questionz!
So ... apparently I wasn't here when the term was invented, or it was invented in one of the many, many, many threads I don't have time to read.
WHAT does "jelly potatoe" (and all of its various spellings) MEAN?! o_0

@Polygeekery said in Stop Annoying Pop-ups 2016:
they even had an HTML comment that said not to change anything below the comment, such that if you deleted everything below the comment you could view the page without paying.
A subtle "f you" to the policy by the devs?
Trust me, back in my free lance-contractor days, I dealt with those devs. They couldn't find two shits to give about literally ANYTHING related to what they did. Most of them barely could communicate with me when I was called in to fix their garbage. They do what they are told, EXACTLY as they are told, and then they move on. If they screw stuff up, they shrug and say they were told to do it, and fixing it will be extra, etc. etc.
None of them would care enough to do a semi-protest like that. The only plausible explanation, if it was a subtle protest, is that the comment came from the dev who did the plug-in or the original coding, and it just persisted, or it is a comment from a free lancer like I used to be, who came, saw, was horrified, and had to leave a clue behind -

I know English (and bad English [waves to Korben Dallas]), Spanish, and Japanese, a tiny amount of Korean and Chinese, and a smattering of Hindi. And I'm out, everything else is Google Translate or shrugs

Meh, working for a Fortune 20 company here, they simply do not care what is "rational."
My story was from my time at a Fortune 20 too. 5% chance it was the same place. Healthcare?
I have narrowed it down to 20 possibilities. Not going to narrow it down any more. MOST people here are cool, but obviously the higher up the chain of command one goes, the less cool they are about being talked about on the "int3rw3bS" unless it is words they put into the PR drones' mouths. We have an official company policy and everything about it, and they send a reminder every quarter

But still, it cracks me up that they put it all right there in the client, formatted and everything, and then just trust me not to unhide it.
Oh yeah, it's hilarious, those people who trust you to pay for the service provided! Hahaha! I went into the store and walked out with a 28" TV and the guy at the counter was all like, "I'm calling the cops!" it was hilarious.

True story.
It is hilarious to me how many sites put the actual premium content on the client side, and then just use CSS to hide it.

Just logged in to my web server's admin panel. There's a big fat banner at the top telling me that my hosting company already patched the vulnerabilities and that I don't have to do anything. I know why I host my websites there, despite them being a little more expensive than the competition.

Meh, working for a Fortune 20 company here, they simply do not care what is "rational." Also, I am the senior dev in my division, my word is law. Normally I am happy to support whatever browser people want (so long as it doesn't reek of hipster), but I have that official policy to fall back on, whenever it suits me (e.g. too lazy/busy) :D -
RE: Angular 2 first impression
@Jaime said in Angular 2 first impression:
@Vaire I don't know why, but they keep doing it. Just because it's stupid doesn't mean my customers won't be adversely affected by it.
As the world switched from desktop apps to web apps, my maintenance bug queue shifted from being full of install issue to being full of browser compatibility issues. We traded a not-so-hard problem for a much harder problem.
Heh, I used to have that problem, until I sold out and went fully corporate. Now we simply tell the users we don't support their browser of choice. It is evil, but it makes my life easier :D

RE: Angular 2 first impression
@Jaime I am at version 37, and holding. If there was ANYTHING that wasn't Chrome, that was as Firefox used to be, I would switch. I fucking HATE their retarded release cycle thing. Whatever happened to the Major.Minor.Trivial update scheme? Why keep incrementing the major version number? Why mess with established stuff that was working? Why keep adding crap nobody asked for (like a fucking chat client!) and CONSTANTLY changing the ui?
I have pale moon installed, but it just isn't as good. [sigh]

RE: Representative AJAX: Everything wrong with modern webdesign in 562 bytes
@Lorne-Kates said in Representative AJAX: Everything wrong with modern webdesign in 562 bytes:
On every fucking page load:
https://what.thedailywtf.com/api/widgets/render?v=3cc48c9c-dd35-4e09-b3d9-fea030f826bc&locations%5B%5D=sidebar&locations%5B%5D=footer&locations%5B%5D=header&template=unread.tpl&url=unread&isMobile=false
Response:
[{"location":"sidebar","widgets":[]},{"location":"footer","widgets":[{"html":"<footer id=\"footer\" class=\"container footer\">\r\n\t<div class=\"copyright\">\r\n\t\tCopyright © 2004 - 2016 Inedo Publishing. Forum powered by <a href=\"https://nodebb.org\">NodeBB</a>.\r\n<br><br> <!-- apparently mobile wants two <br> tags -->\r\n\t</div>\r\n</footer>"}]},{"location":"header","widgets":[{"html":"<div class=\"alert alert-info\"><p><a href=\"https://github.com/BenLubar/what-bugs/issues\">Please report bugs on the <em>What bugs?</em> tracker.</a></p></div>"}]}]
So-- every page. Every goddamn fucking page-- makes an ADDITIONAL web request. It goes BACK to the server to get a piece of HTML. And then injects that HTML into the page as a footer.
Why was this not done on the initial page request? Why did the response not have that 273 bytes already in the page? Why did we have to make a web request to get 562 bytes of data (plus the overhead of the request), and spend an extra 127ms-- just to get HTML?
Not JSON that is going to be used to dynamically create an element. Not data that has to be processed. This isn't doing a request to a webservice to get, say, data for a calendar to build into an existing HTML structure.
No, this is A PIECE OF ALREADY FORMATTED HTML!
This is literally everything wrong with modern web design in a nutshell. There is literally NO reason to have this AJAX call. Literally none. And yet-- there it is.

@Vaire I can think of an alternative:
Let's make a group of a few thousand developers, find a desert island, and move there. Then we can proclaim ourselves as an independent nation, and start our legal system where patents are sane, copyright lasts for only 25 years, and license agreements are 1 paragraph long instead of 30 pages.
