@iamavalos yup, big fan of Emacs, using its GUI though.

It's been a long time since I customized something look-and-feel related (switched to Apple recently after 10+ years on Linux), even when using XMonad or DWM I used to go with the bare minimum - I'd rather be reading/coding/going out than working my way through customization, though I must confess I've seen stunning desktops, guess it's not my thing ^^.

MacOS made it dead-easy, look-and-feel's great from the start and I just run with the defaults, haven't even changed the dock icons.

There ya go

Emacs guy through and through. Way better than anything I’ve tried (including alcohol).

I’be donated to the FreeBSD guys since I begun earning money (if just a few dollars). They do an impressive job.

@But-you-do-IT I was responsible for last Tuesday repetition, was playing with timezones and accidentally reset the day. Sorry 'bout that.

@hash-table you're right, that's a right granted by the all mighty himself. You see, the thing is that you can't demand anything. It can't sound like you're demanding it. It can't sound like you're trying to fake a demand.

And after a few hundred demands, you get tired and tell people to do a PR or fuck off if they sound like they might demand you waste your free time on their problem.

Haven't actually done it myself, but I can understand it well enough.

@CopyPasteCode the problem with that is that not all free software is trying to sell itself. That a lot of projects are not well funded or funded at all and are done in the spare time of programmers.

Most of people do it for fun. Because they like to create, because it's fun to hack things. It's not as if they're running a company and they need to fix bugs, give support, write documentation or anything else.

If you were complaining about Microsoft, I'd understand it. But given that you're complaining about people you, and most of the world, doesn't pay to share their hacking, then I must but pay no attention at all and side with those "freetards".

And that's the truth of it.

Oh Haskell would do some good too, and proper data modelling. Also, try to focus and develop some intuition. I'd really like to elaborate on how important it is to learn both Haskell and Lisp. But not until you use them will you be able to appreciate it. Try with http://cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/... or Paul Graham essays for insight on why functional programming might matter.

Learn Lisp, read the postgres manual, think it thrice before using a NoSQL database, get on React + Redux, grab Bootstrap until you're comfortable with the quirks of CSS and... Oh yeah, *NIX sysadmin. Learn to create chroot's and jails (FreeBSD handbook might come in handy). How to configure a server and execute software with as little privileges as you can. Debug enough software that you feel not extremely weird doing it, read a lot of source code on public repositories, don't just bloat everything with countles dependencies (and if you need to do, please review them). Know how to detect intruders, attacks, etc. Mmm... Guess that sums it up.

Here, have a cookie 🍪

@byte-me imagine all those managers screaming for cdd, sending devs to week long seminars x)

Smells like Java

We should make it a buzzword.

mutt?

I don't always come to Java, but when I do is to put it on my resume, font size 48, all-caps "I DON'T LIKE JAVA AND I DON'T INTEND TO WORK ON IT, I'D FIRST QUIT DOING WHAT I LOVE AND GO FEED GOATS ON AN UNNAMED TOWN WITHOUT THE NOTION OF COMPUTERS OR INTERNET THAN DOING JAVA". Well, that's actually pretty long, I leave it at WORK ON IT. But always get excited on job interviews.

Boss doesn't even think about thinking in asking me whether it should be a good idea thinking about thinking to use Java. Greatest perk in the job.

That was uber fucking hilarious.

@GodHatesMe so WP actually has a direction :O?

Idk, swing belongs to a set of technologies that I made an oath not to touch ever again. Also, no thanks. Avatar-less is just fine.

If it weren't for my web browser I think I'd hardly see any gui.

It's just a way of doing things. After all WordPress isn't like the best platform out there for learning stuff about web development.

AFAIK, there are some projects trying to bring sass and those other things into WP in a manageable way. Google's your friend ;-).

If it's PHP, then Laravel. It's even easy to hack it if you don't like something. Hell, I don't always do PHP (in fact I try very hard to avoid it), but when I do, it's Laravel or Laravel.

It'd be so funny to see a parallel universe where all of us side with your teacher and tell you to stop 'hacking'.

I'd take her advise and read some book on networking, papers, etc. if I were you though. It's a minor annoyance and picking a fight you know you're going to lose over a minor annoyance is just plain stupid. Maybe beat her at her own game?

Just throw in seven or eight different versions of jQuery for the lulz.

Let me tell you a story of this install I saw one day wondering into the everglades. I'm gonna need a drink or two more. I was trying to install a package and it wouldn't let me, curses blew at the wind, not aware that they had old-old stable, old-stable and stable mixed up.

Beautiful.
