Ah the joyous evilness of casual evening programming, with goto's in for loops. -

@maiyannah Eh, technically correct. Don't feel like it though. :P -

You know you're a programmer when you play a match-3 puzzle (remove all stones) and because you're too stupid to figure out the solution you write a program to do it instead. And then you spend days trying to figure out which programming language is best for it. -

Anyone who writes code to mutate state on a GET call deserves to get spurious GET calls from client applications. -

@maiyannah I suspect the technicalness of a subject matters. Social networks don't involve really difficult technical problems (90% of the existing problems seem to be getting people to agree on how to communicate) and are attractive to people who like to socialize. That should, if I'm right, lead to a form of self-selection that creates a different mix than with e.g. compiler projects. -

Sometimes it feels the entire purpose of javascript "frameworks" is to create a bigger mess. In conversation from community.highlandarrow.com permalink -

Useful little shortcut on windows: press start, type "cmd", press ctrl+shift+enter. Runs it as administrator without having to right click. In conversation from community.highlandarrow.com permalink -

@gameragodzilla @maiyannah Extending the metaphore one could use different weapons to send different signals, like the BFG-9000 for "die, no ifs and buts, no cleanup, just die". In conversation from community.highlandarrow.com permalink -

@ninjawedding @maiyannah That's basically the old distinction between teaching people what to think vs teaching people to think. Good teachers always do the latter. In conversation from community.highlandarrow.com permalink -

Something likeΒ http://mesonbuild.com/ is close to optimum in my opinion. Powerful enough to do 95% what you want easily, extensible enough to add the remaining 5% yourself. Language written for the job of building and not turing complete (you don't want your build system to go into an infinite loop). In conversation from community.highlandarrow.com permalink
