@-ANGRY-STUDENT- generally this is more that you can't work for a competitor or do the same job at another company. I'm a web developer at an advertising agency, our paperwork states that I can't work for another agency withing 50 miles for 2 years after I resign from my position. Of course that won't hold up in court, but it scares enough people into sticking it out even if they hate their employer/coworkers.
-
@PrivateGER I saw this pop in my feed and my first thought was "none of the given feedback was considered." Glad to see someone else noticed.
OP: there was some great feedback given in that thread, I suggest you take a few of those tips. Specifically regarding the handle. -
These battles suck. I had one where they wanted an autoplay video with sound. After a few back-and-forths management stepped in and told me to do as the client asked.
-
I've used openpyxl for a few things at work, great library.
-
@Stuxnet wanting to know what people do and having access to the exact location and movement patterns of people are two different things. They could theoretically locate any single person within their park within a few meters if they wanted.
How would you like to start getting ads about prostate exams because Disney tracked that you visited the bathroom twice an hour while you were there? And that's just a minor taste of what they could do. -
@Demolishun not that it matters how you math, but I drop the 0 at the end making it 126/3 and it magically looks easier and gives me the same result.
-
@detlefgrohs me, I'll send a message that I'm running late sometimes and still end up being the first one there for my team. Usually it's a race between me and the CTO for who shows up and opens the office.
But we never leave early, I think we're doing it wrong. -
Likely with ads at the top and/or bottom of each load too.

Bro, a vacation doesn't have to be going somewhere. You can take a vacation at home you just need to turn off the work emails and step back for a few days. I never really go anywhere, but I take a few days off here and there to spend time away from all the tech stuff and with family and I can tell you that even a 3 day weekend away from that stuff is helpful, a week will leave you feeling great.

You can try using this to help but you're going to have to go through and figure out where there error is in the count. -
If you didn't advertise your game then I'd call 10 people a successful first game as long as no one blew your inbox up with emails about it not working.

Well for starters I wouldn't trust Facebook with the information or access to my money. And second, I don't have an Instagram account (I'm sure one is automatically created with a Facebook account now but I've never used it). So while it could be convenient for a lot of people, it wouldn't cover everyone and would have plenty of people who prefer another service.
-
@endor those that have had a catastrophic failure and those who haven't.
-
@Voxera they tend to have a good sense of humor, it's just irritating as shit that I gave them the information and sources more than 2 years ago and suddenly now we "think" there is a problem.
No one wants to tell me though what made this an issue now or what happened to make them think there was an issue. My job is to proactively avoid these sorts of situations, when I'm ignored and told it isn't a big deal, or "we'll cross that bridge later" it's hard to not be a little frustrated about it. -
Nothing is too small to automate. That's 20s per day, 100s per week, 5200s a year about 1.25(ish) hours. So you spent more time working on it than you saved in a year, doesn't matter, it's one fewer thing you have to deal with.
-
I'm just weird, I keep a gui open to visualize the history easily, but nearly everything else is done via the cli.
-
Yeah that's not professional at all. Depending on who all was on the call I may have slapped him had I been in your shoes. Start with a Stern talking to about professionalism and if it continues take it up with a superior.
We've got a guy in our office who loves practical jokes and while most of them have been harmless, he wiped a guy's computer with rm -rf one day. I told him what to expect if he pulled that shit with me. -
Unsettling
-
@powerfulparadox I keep telling my kid word problems show you how math is used in real life. Many times I struggled without a word problem to give me the real-world use case.
-
You received praise and it made you feel good. That's not weird at all.
-
I didn't go to college (or graduate anyways). It was a big deal to my employer at the time of hiring (but they were desperate) and they were quite condescending for a while telling me in front of clients that I needed to keep my opinions to myself since I didn't have a degree. But after some time I proved my worth and they've opened up to hiring others who haven't gone the traditional route. One thing of note though is that while they're willing to hire someone with experience and no degree, they will make significantly less money than someone with a degree and no experience in our company.
-
I don't consider myself front-end, but I end up doing a lot of front end stuff. I'll usually add hover animations of some sort where appropriate, and maybe a loading animation, but other than that I have to be told by the designer what kind of animations they want and where.
-
Care to share which dongle? I buy a lot of these for the office and I want to make sure I avoid them (maybe).
-
I prefer dark mode simply because I'm usually in a semi-dark to dark room working, most of the light provided is from screens. Hitting a suddenly bright white screen is occasionally quite blinding for a moment.
-
@linuxxx We only have two developers in our company, but you can tell which developer built the site based on whether it redirects to www. or root.
-
@cmarshall10450 we have Western Union as well.
-
You should definitely have some kind of review by this point which generally comes with a raise of some kind (never enough). You'll likely need to feel out the market and/or get an offer before management will do anything significant.
-
I left something similar in a client's code warning the next developers that they were going to get fucked. The client went through 3 agencies before contacting our company that they found the comment and we're getting legal involved. My boss mentioned it to us and said "I don't want to know which of you did it, I just want you to know you have balls, and you better hope you covered your tracks."
-
You could slowly refactor the code and learn quite a bit actually.

Undo/redo when coding, back/forward in the browser, and some other macros for other apps.
