Man, I fucking hate browsers. Some of them move at a snails pace when it comes to APIs, and polyfills and bloated frameworks pop up to work around it.

I know it's pretty much impossible, but get together and actually implement the features you're missing from each other, fuck.

I've had people tell me Windows 10 is the most stable and least buggy Microsoft OS yet. I want to disagree.

I kinda wonder why so few server frameworks have actually implemented the FastCGI spec, instead of running their own weaker HTTP server that needs to be put behind something like nginx for production anyways.

Kinda sad that the whole "seamless iframe" thing never happened. Sandboxed ads and external embeds, what a dream.

Guys. Tags are separated with a comma. Think twice before submitting a rant.

How come that every time you've made something elegant and wonderful on a web page, one browser has to ruin everything.

Today it's IE/Edge and data URIs.

This is literally a line of code from this PHP codebase. w h y

$_POST = unserialize ( $_SESSION ['nyt_form'] );

XML isn't too bad, as long as it's fully standards compliant and uses an DTD.

In other words, about 2% of XML documents in the wild.

Manipulating the spec by taking shortcuts and having certain config values do the same thing at a different place to cut down on code bloat. Let's hope the customer is happy with it.

Chrome updated and now this site I'm working on hangs whenever you leave the page...

Boss fast tracked a release for a customer. No testing. Not checking commits or the state. Undocumented requirement brings down everything and everyone is running around with their hair on fire. Sigh.

GNU gettext uses LANGUAGE in the environment for language if set. I found that after spending two days debugging why LC_ALL didn't work.

Considering paying my boss to drop a client, because a function only they need can't really be implemented more brilliantly than a huge if/else, doubling the size of the source code.

May the programming gods let me sleep tonight, instead of bombarding me with more ideas...

This code base can't upgrade to 5.4 because it depends on register_globals. The files affected has no indentation for else blocks. Randomly indented with space and tab. On top of it all, one of the previous devs were dyslexic. Save me.
