Oh you guys are awful, lol

Now I have to hunt for that rant to see if anyone mentioned PEMDAS...

I've been putting off the 3.0 migration for as long as I can...been sticking to 2.3. I'm scared of how many things will break and/or have incorrect upgrade suggestions (by far the worst offender during upgrades).

Ok, where'd ya get the mug?

@KittyCrumpet if you must know, I hadn't had my cup of java yet, so I was a little slow on the uptake. But I am throughly amused and joyed by your emphasis on "ALL the puns."

Any company that acts as a patent troll

I need to get this for myself

Simon says shutdown!

Ahh, yea. Been there before.

Isn't getSecond() redundant? (I'm assuming "second" is also a private integer.

@SirPally same here. Now I feel an urge to look it up!

@bhargav-mogra got it. I understand your frustration.

Storyboards are XML underneath and are absolutely version-controllable, but I guess it all comes down to how comfortable you are with performing manual merges at times (when they get extremely out of sync). I've had multiple devs work on a single storyboard before and all were able to check in changes to different views without a single merge conflict.

It took me a while to get comfortable with them too, especially using scroll views and thinking "why the shit does it think my constraints are broken?!"

But I eventually learned...and they're great. Especially compression/hugging.

F# seems to be a very niche market right now. I would go with C# for the time being, and then branch out into something like T-SQL (there's a high likelihood you'll be dealing with SQL DBs for storing data, and having a good understanding of making efficient queries is extremely useful).

@tytho you can still host your own (they provide the code for free now), but if OP had a question on how to run a specific query, that Q would apply to both the hosted or self-hosted solution.

My team suffers from MITM attacks from our own network all the time. Most of the time it's because the people working on network/firewall teams are incompetent and don't know how to properly maintain a network. They also love to spend millions on security appliances that they don't know how to install or use... Ugh, fml.

I typically have a cup of a Columbian (or other South American) roast in the AM...and then copious amounts of flavored (or aloe) water throughout the day.

Oh, haha, right... Didn't see the "wk8" tag. D'oh!

You aren't using some form of version control (with a remote store)...? (E.g. Git (GitHub, Bitbucket) or Subversion)

How are you the only dev? Do you work for a paper/print-only company? Tool and die? Or does your company mostly contract out development work? I'm confused...

I used VMware Fusion for a Win8 image and VS2013 (never got around to updating to 2015) and it worked just fine. Allocated 3GB for host and 5GB for guest. Or it could've been 2/6.

Aaand this now makes total sense. Just keep reading, folks. ;)

What is the screen on the right showing? I'm assuming status for various services. Is it a custom "dashboard" or a service I'm not aware of?

I feel for you, I really do. And I consider myself super fortunate that I haven't had to work with people as inept as that! Ugh...I don't even want to think of that, lol.

The rant is strong with this one.

"Betas" on Amazon Video. Only 1 season though. =(

~/repositories for most and ~/webdev for quick one off things/non-vcs

Make sure to enable "hide reposts" in settings!

Swift. I've been a C# developer for many years and Swift was a much easier transition than Obj-C.
