I hate telling people to do things, then they come to me when they inevitably do something wrong :p. ... works for me

Why should I use Firefox, or any other browser, from a standard consumer prospective? Let me preface this by saying I am open to a new browser, especially one that is always in "incognito" and doesn't share sessions between t

So I think you're agreeing with me? I can't really tell. I agree that knowledge of best practices is really important, because why would you need to run a plugin on top of your site to force HTTPS? I use Apache to force HTTPS, Apa

I suppose so. I like to think my custom plugins are well written and maintainable. I attribute this to the fact that I identity as a JavaScript engineer with some classic OO tendencies (shout out to Gilfoyle). More or less I write JavaScrip

What do they use so many plugins for? I took over supporting/developing a WordPress site and one of the first things I did was delete a bunch of pointless plugins. I wound up writing quite a few of my own for different tools and left

This. I had programmed on and off for awhile, never anything big, until I started doing it everyday. Now it's part of who I am and the way I think, kinda crazy.

I love this. I have to pay Comcast for TV when I just want internet, that'd be bad enough but my parents pay 2x more for 20x slower connection (5mb/100b). Kinda inspired me to talk to some of my neighbors and ask if they'd li

I agree, I don't want a new MacBook and competition is shit. I wish the Asus Zenbook 15" models didn't have a number pad. Vaio models look pretty nice, I'd seriously consider the Vaio Z over a 13" MBP.

I don't have any such issue. What I've been doing is just writing in ES6 and testing on Chrome, then after its towards V 1.0 I'll add webpack to the staging branch. Very little work to switch from a bunch of script tags to a

Good way to look at it. Double that it is!

Even explicit instructions don't work for some reason. With Google voice assistant I can't say "look up the New York Giants score then text it to Phil" I don't recall reading that functionality in the Alexa docs, ei

I'm primarily a JavaScript developer (jQuery, React, Angular, et. al + Node) as that's my first choice and greatest depth of knowledge. I'm also very knowledgeable about PHP but prefer to use classic OOP patterns with it henc

In all seriousness, how much of this was total bull shit? 100% or less?

How would you show them that using the HTML source? You can use dev tools to view the network tab to find whatever URL Pandora is using. You can use dev tools to find a media elements src attribute. To see the JavaScript sources... You chec

Maybe perceived value has something to do with it. I believe I listed my hourly rate at $25 thinking I'd be competitive for some side $$. I made some money but it seemed most things tagged JavaScript or PHP were either design work or W

Right-o about using the built in FDE. It's kind of funny to think about how many lay users walk around thinking their laptop is safely protected by a password. My girlfriend was shocked at how easily I was able to "hack" her

I sell phones and other electronics on a semi regular basis. Usually the only problem I have is people who send obviously fake PayPal emails and request the phone be shipped overseas. No longer accepting addresses outside of the US helped r

I write procedural scripts all the time for just getting things done, often in JavaScript, Perl and PHP. I've only worked on one application written without any OO patterns, completely procedural, and it was a complete mess. Adding or

No, not the same. The general concepts are similar, though. My thinking goes: understanding classic OOP is helpful in learning JavaScript because the high level concepts are the same but in my opinion more obvious and easier to implement in

by g00gler 10y ago
I second this. It was so easy to write JavaScript after writing C# and others for awhile. Now I write mostly JavaScript (<3 TypeScript) because it's so easy and fast, but having traditional OOP principals in my head is very helpful.

I find myself in a similar boat quite often. I come up with lots of different ideas but they're not very good or have already been done. Other times I start building then get bored and convince myself it won't work out anyways. So

Pretty interesting. I use the money I get for holidays almost exclusively for cigarettes, alcohol, and gambling. Someone should perform a survey of middle to upper class people and see what they spend free money on. Are they just projecting

* Disclaimer: Correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't used flow extensively but I did check the docs. One big thing is TypeScript classes are entirely different than standard JS classes. I guess you don't have to use them but it

I have to second Mr.timruffles. After using TS in a couple of projects I grew to miss it when I couldn't use it. If you don't like the C#-ness of Typescript, try using Facebook's flow. Typing isn't a magic bullet, typesc

That's hilarious. I wonder if the scammers hired actors + set up a scene to make the recording.

Yes, this exactly. If anyone cared to check out the advanced configuration it is pretty much exclusively turning off security vulnerabilities. One of them is "Automatically trust WiFi connections my contacts trust", a bunch of oth

You could sit your girlfriend down and do the "advanced configuration" on Windows 10, then she'll understand why Linux is better.
