Non developers on my team just keep Jira and Figma tabs open all day. I think they need beefier machines than I do to support that

I came across a stack overflow recently about how to do something in a jasmine unit test. Someone gave a solution of “I just changed the test to xit(“… and now there are no errors!”

This same advice is true for the JavaScript situation as well sometimes

This has happened a few times were I find a solution on stack overflow, I go to upvote the answer and I get the error message “you can’t upvote your own post”

Yep, that was my answer to my own question from 5 years ago

I remember applying to jobs listed as being remote in the USA only to get an email from someone at the company informing me that they are only looking for people in Poland.

Poland!

I replied with screenshots and links to all their incorrect job listings and let them know someone was doing their hiring wrong which is wasting their time and my time.

Woof woof

Not all of them, no. Some are just to build or run development only tools.

No programming language should last 200,000 years

I used to ban null usages with ESLint rules for this exact reason. If it’s there use a value, if not use undefined

It’s really accelerated in the past few years. It’s nearly impossible to just read an article or use any product without giving it some kind of information. Lots of people (myself included many times unfortunately) just accept this. I mean, what can be done? If you want or need to use the thing you almost have no choice. If you want to avoid information leaks or being tracked you have to do so much research and work just to find an option, and then hope they don’t get purchased by a company that will reverse it all. I hate it.

Even on a high end TV the speakers are going to be bad. It’s just there to check a box. TVs are so thin that you cannot physically fit in speakers large enough to sound good.

A cheap sound bar will make a huge improvement to audio quality over any built in speaker system.

And then someone comes over who isn’t a programmer and they have to take a shower:

Error: cannot convert “warm” to integer

I had looked into Reolink a while back and that seemed like a great option to me. Upfront cost and setup seems like the biggest hurdles, but probably worth it in the long run. Thanks for the recommendation!

So what is a good camera system to own? I currently have ADT and I’m really not happy with it. It’s expensive and the cameras only record 30 second clips. It can detect motion, it records 30 seconds and that’s it, regardless of how long the motion event actually takes.

Example: someone drops off a package and they hang out on my porch - I have no idea what happens after the 30 second mark! It’s insane. No way to change this either. The only option is for how long to wait between 30 second clips, and the lowest option is 2 minutes.

He has several, I’ve read “The Art of Deception” and “The Art of Intrusion” which are both fantastic and interesting reads. He has another in the “Art of…” series and possibly others too.

Where does one find wefwef? A quick search didn’t give me anything obvious, and it’s not on the app store
