Just discovered this in visual studio:
shift + alt + ; (select all instances)
shift + alt + . (select next instance)
Better multi-line editing, here we come!2 -

Anyone else expeiencing this? More often than not, the fluid left in a container fills the glass up to the brim. In my personal experience, this happens about 6/10 times.6

Anyone else ever notice stars in front of the moon at night?

More stars in the universe or LEDs on earth? Screen pixels do not count.
Edit: what if we added pixels?3 -
Constantly looking at the clock, waiting for backround processes to execute. My colleagues must think that I can't wait to go home.

Our system never had sessions that expired. A recent hack at the client caused us to revisit the security measures we had in place.
The person who was on the project since it's start 8 years ago was tasked with fixing this issue. It has a simple solution: add session expiration, and extend the session to an hour from now with each request.
This week I found out how he did it🤦🏻♂️. He added session expirations, but extended the session by an hour with each request. By making 10 requests in quick succession, your session is extended by 10 hours.3 -
People always say thet you should not quit your job before you have the next job lined up, but what if you plan to do freelance? This is my dilemma.
A bit of context (rant).
My current job is my first official job. Small company, VERY HIGH staff turnover rate. I have been here for 2 and a half years. My commute on a good day is < 20 mins, and money is relatively good.
During the last 6 months, all devs above me resigned, which lead to the system maintenance being passed on to the few devs left. Our biggest system is a legacy system (Windows CE), and new clients are actively signed up and new features requested. The codebase is not even worthy of being called spaghetti, changes break every client, I need to wash my hands every couple of minutes. Seriously, I would rather maintain obfuscated code. It is like a bunch of highschoolers wrote the system, though I think they would have done a better job.
Management is nice and understanding, but the state of the codebase is killing the spirits.
I fill my nights and weekends moonlighting to keep my mind off of the 'daymares' at work. I have never been a team player, and thrive on my own. I have been thinking quiting and going full freelance/contract the last couple of months. Should things not work out, I can always go job hunting (see issue in par. 1)2 -
Bug for iOS users to explore:
1. Take a photo
2. Edit the photo (crop/rotate)
3. Directly after saving the edited photo, start zoom
4. Zoom to infinity
Been there for years.4 -
I hate this country!
This was the third time this month that the power cables got stolen. Looks like it is going to be takeouts and project planning on paper tonight.11 -
Has anyone had any success with implementing a flow based programming system (like node red, but custom)? My work has been looking at it for a couple of months, the POCs up till now have not turned up any major drawbacks.
I am just looking for things to avoid that cannot be read in academic papers about the topic.1 -
Say the world's source code was opened for anyone to edit, which function would you change?
// js land
function conception(e) {
e.preventDefault();
return;
// original code here
}8 -
Senior: I've been programming for a long time. I know JavaScript.
Me to myself: I've seen your code, it is shit.
Senior: (builds JSON with string concatination)
Me to myself: ...
What am I to do? The system is full of stuff like this, and minimal support from management to fix and rewrite.19
