Sounds like they will wrap things up. Terrible show, but it evolved into a love-to-hate it type of thing.

And another thing is I inherently don't trust the president just because of the actor. He's played a sleaze ball in Mad Men and Homeland. Don't trust him here either.

Integration and automated tests, sure. Butunittests?

Have any of you guys heard of testers writing unit tests for the developer? There's a team here that does this and it just feels wrong to me. It's as if the developer is too lazy to write tests so he's getting someone else to do it.

WTF. This last episode was fucking stupid. "Oh noes the gas leak is in the main line!" Cut to an aerial view of the oil rig -> explosion -> commercial break -> everyone back on the Nathan James. And fucking killed my girl too. God damn it.

Okay, let me preface this by saying this is NOT an amazing series or anything. But god damn it can be funny as hell -- not sure if it's intentional or not. I really haven't determined if the series is taking itself seriously or not. Although, after last night's rat episode I'm thinking it's...

Get canceled, probably. I hope they can wrap things up and resist the urge to do a full on cliffhanger. It's not a great show, but I've been enjoying it. Which brings to mind another show which I do not think a thread exists for...

Well, years ago, our (now) parent company bought two little companies that produced the same type of product. The application I had been working one had the smallest user base (and was mostly oUS) but had to be kept alive due to existing contracts. Contracts have now expired for US clients and...

Well, my wish came true. The company sold our ASP.NET WebForms application to some unsuspecting company. This came with a large reduction of the engineering staff since we're no longer developing two products. Fortunately I wasn't one of the devs let go. Now, the other product is actually...

Sounds like the law offices of Pearson Specter Litt.

Is she hot?

Right, but it's important to know which tool to use for the job. For example, a fellow developer was using a List and, before adding to it, would iterate over it to make sure the object wasn't already added. It didn't occur to him, or he wasn't aware of, to simply use a HashSet.

I've had the shittiest luck with realtors. To date I've communicated with four. Three of them have acted totally disinterested, the third was nice but was driving 80 miles (one way) for viewings. I couldn't in good conscience keep having her drive those insane distances. This latest one was...

OMG, can you not create a custom background color anymore? I usually do no wallpaper and set the background color to my preferred set of RGB values. I no longer see this option!

This has probably been theorized elsewhere, butwhat ifElliot is an A.I. and Slater is the creator (thus "father") - this would explain the apparent lack of aging and other "spooky" interactions with the character. Also, Elliott said something curious a couple episodes back - something about...

At my current company I started out in operations answering tech support calls. During that time I learned .NET and C#, read tons of books, wrote various tools, and proved I could code. I was promoted to software engineer a couple years ago. No degree (although I am working on one) and I feel...

That's actually very interesting. I already know how to code but, as I've mentioned before on this forum, would love to use some of the newer web technologies. I wouldn't mind donating my time for one of these in order to practice the cool new stuff.

I wish we could. We have tons of pages that have scripts that use old IE quirks. We'd literally have to rewrite dozens of pages from scratch. I'msodone with WebForms after having worked with ASP.NET MVC and NodeJS Express and it's cool template engines. We roughly estimate how much time...

Yeah, I can see that point of view. We would have been better off if they just froze the framework at .NET 2.0. That would have ensured we keep using the old crap. The application is already unusable on any non-I.E. browser and any version prior to 10.

How's the population? I too played at the start (even joined the guild that formed on this board) but the grind got to me. I thought the environment graphics were awesome and even enjoyed the character models.

Where's a great place to live if you fucking hate people but want high speed internet?

Something else that has been bugging me lately is how other developers on my team will use the excuse "It's done like this elsewhere in the project" to justify poor coding or bad practices. Simple examples include concatenating strings (that aren't compile-time constants), catching an...

Haha what the fuck is this from?

RENEWED.

Yeah, there have been many times I've realized a solution while trying to explain it on a StackOverflow post. But I wouldn't literally place a rubber duck at my desk...

I'm not sure, I was kind of disappointed. I get the feeling that they rewrote the last couple of episodes because the producers realized, "oh shit, this is actually doing well ratings-wise. We'll get another season!" and decided to string the story out. The season should have ended with all...

Most of our devs demand a "knowledge transfer" before even considering to look at something they're not familiar with.

Yeah, how come IE never really had decent extension support? Tons of add-ons for Firefox and Chrome, but pretty much jack shit for IE. Were they super difficult to create for it? I can't use Edge until some kind of color-inverter is created for it (the usual white backgrounds on sites burn...

BOOM green light for season 2. Renewed for Season 2 at AMC | TVLine

Right, that's retarded. Doing it his way exposes implementation details to the consumer of the class.

I'm the same way. Asking for help is like admitting defeat.

What? fuck that guy. I've learned that some people can just talk a good talk and get hired. The other developer on my team always talks like he's an expert on every subject, but he has a very basic understanding of OOP principles. As I've mentioned before, he'll bang out dozens of...

Yes, although it's really not that complicated. Basically the concept is that you are not tying your objects to a concrete implementation of any of their dependencies. A simple example: In this example we are tying our AccountsController to a concrete version of the AccountsRepository (which...

Who the hell records TV shows? Just subscribe to a $5/month Usenet service and download what you want.

Alright, so what happened in the books?

Certainly I'm not the only one that has had updates break my system? I usually do a full wipe and reload every few months. I update the system to the latest atthatpoint in time, but then don't bother updating afterwards.

I was wondering about that. I installed Windows 10 Enterprise and could not find a way to set the update to manual checking. I dunno...I kinda prefer Windows 8 over 10 at this point. I thought I would like the UI more, but I'm finding it even more annoying than I did with 8.

I disagree. It's a relatively simple language and that doesn't bog a person down having to deal with creating classes, strong typing, etc. You can just write functions, create objects and properties on a whim - hell, it's probably one of the most learning-friendly languages out there.

Yeah, well, tell them to man-up.

I see where you're coming from, but Javascript as a programming language does not require it to be tied to HTML and CSS. Sure, the browser environment where it's most used, but Javascript functions just fine as a language on it's own that can teach a person programming concepts. They...
