@jonii YouTube waits until the page containing the video has focus, or at least it does in the browsers I use. This doesn’t bother me as much since I usually navigated to that page specifically for the video.

Edit: Yeah, and the highlight video on profile home pages usually do, too.

The Zero Punctuation reference is appreciated.

Well, could you tell us which game or game mechanic you’re trying to reverse engineer in this thread, pls? :3

On the note of good Microsoft games, I used to love Fury 3 as a kid. (Even though it’s their failed attempt at mimicking Descent, it was still a great game, IMO.)

Hey, that story had a much better ending than I expected. Normally you hear of the customer not ever noticing what’s wrong and continuing to insist that you don’t know what you’re talking about. /swt

GitLab has a similar advertisement on their main page already, as well.

@vexusia I wish I could upvote this comment more than once!

Ditto. What’s Reb?

The latest Windows 10 update took me about 1.5 hours on a pretty decent non-virtual machine. So, if we were installing the same update, it was a hefty one.

@YouAreAPIRate Amen.

Man, I like puns, but I really have to wonder just what caliber of awful that pun had to be to elicit that response. O_o

Wow. I had no idea international Windows was so scary. That’s gotta get annoying.

I live in the US and use only English (US). :/

That really sucks!

I can’t say the update broke anything for me, but it was seriously poorly timed. I normally use my Linux partition, but I needed to jump really quickly over to Windows to grab a WiFi password. Of course, there is nothing quick about Windows - especially Windows updates. Wouldn’t you know it, it chose that particular boot cycle to spend a bit over an hour updating. By the time it finished, I had already called someone else for the WiFi password. /an

This is just fantastic! And I’m not sure whether try/catching the cat was an intentional pun, but it is appreciated.

Lol, agreed. My team is both development and operations support for legacy applications. You can guess how much actual development gets done.

++’d for Floor Doggo.

I have been there. I know your pain.

I found this post at just the right time. A coworker of mine has been suggesting I try Linux again, as he practically swears by it. I played with Ubuntu a bit back in college, but didn’t get the hang of it. I am excited to try again, though.

I don’t work with JS, but I go back and forth with whether I want to use them in PowerShell. Since they’re not really used, they pretty much only help readability, and that’s only if you’re used to them. My home language is C#, so I have a strong habit of ending lines with a semicolon.

Yeah, my first though is “Eh, I’d give it a shot - see what happens,” too. Worst case, you gotta reboot.

And you have 450+ bookmarks in one folder?

Sometimes Google’s results are prioritized based off of your search history. So, I could see a case for expecting the programming language. I guess pop culture won, anyway, unfortunately.

I’m still so happy that Steven Crowder is now a meme. And so soon after I started watching him again.

@ewpratten That’s assuming you also want a semicolon after your braces, if statements, and in every blank line between declarations. :/

Saw the whole thing. It goes through the usual ups and downs a show goes through, but I still recommend it.

This post made me think of that other one. Then I got to the part where you directly linked to it.

Associates degree in Arts from a community college. I’d been studying programming since 8th grade, so I just showed my future boss that I knew what I was doing. That was good enough. Though, you may not get to the interview stage if there are a lot of applicants with that method.

Yes, C# is syntactically similar to Java, but I believe that’s because they’re both based on C...

I didn’t watch or read anything on the testimony, but I heard that the majority of his time was spent explaining to old people (the senators) how the internet works.

This is one of the reasons when anyone asks me how to become a programmer, I always recommend buying a book or online tutorials. :/

Funny, though. I started using extension methods for the first time a few weeks ago in real-world scenarios.

Everyone at my job (HUGE company, btw) uses Skype for Business. I don’t really use it elsewhere anymore, though. I have Discord for gaming.
