@IntrusionCM and leave the previous pile of garbage in place so that developers who either don't know better, or don't want to learn the new stuff can keep using the previous garbage heap.

@vintprox We use composer, so actually not that shared hosting friendly in many cases. And we generally recommend VPS hosting to people who ask.

In regards to translations you can take a look at https://github.com/flarum-lang for information on contributing to that. Also our docs could always use translations.

@vintprox we have markdown rendering, bbcode as well, plantUML is something an extension dev could easily add.

In regards to design Discourse openly admits that they have "borrowed" bits and pieces or Flarum over time (such as the scroll items list on the right side of a discussion)

@vomitmachine It's not as fun as you think being the sole person... My current/former boss (company division split) was the sole guy for a long time in IT and he was reaching the end of his rope and completely burned out until I got hired and started to take things off his shoulder.

If you work well with stress and long work days you might be OK, but otherwise it will get to you and you probably will burn out at some point. Worse if you make a bad decision everything is on you and everyone knows who to blame even if you follow a blameless model.

@vomitmachine No option to deploy Gitlab and use their CI stuff with some DevOps scripts?

@vomitmachine And this why production should only ever be touched by the operations team (or whoever acts as operations) and all code should be released using automated tools that only work from the git repos.

I work in IT mostly and sometimes I write software. My reviews are very good, or at least we're, the company is probably going to stop doing them (I was the only one they did it for). I got some feedback on communication and the fact that our ticketing system was so borked it was impossible to keep track of stuff. That's been solved now thank God.

And a bunch of former co-workers just got sucked into using React (division got sold) meanwhile I'm trying to bring my area of the company out of the dark ages of ASP

@gitpush I'm rewriting all the internal stuff myself using good code practices, I'm staying away from the customer stuff though

@gitpush I promise you that's not even the worse thing I've seen. A lot of the devs are former designers turned devs out of necessity during the 2008 crash and the company just never reverted them back to design and hasn't hired a new Dev in a couple of years. I'm just the IT guy but they keep trying to drag me into customer projects.

@gitpush nope not wrong, this is actually something I've seen

@typetrail My family has the full 3 letter agency thing going, mine is NSA, Uncle FBI, Dad DEA, Grandfather FBI, Brother DoD

I'm sorry for your lost, I'm conflicted if I should upvote or not though

This right here is why I have my terminal to display a different hostname color if I'm sshed into a machine vs local.

We've done it a couple times to truly horrible teachers, with that said though the teachers usually know that it's probably coming and they do get told that their fired but usually after we've already locked them out, forwarded their emails to their replacement/perm sub and made copies of relevant emails that might be requested regarding their firing.

Try Laravel, I promise you'll never want to go back to plain PHP

@cgomezmendez Digital Ocean does not like you using their servers for email, you have to special request the port be unblocked and unless you give them a really good reason why you need your own email server they tend to deny your request.

@Bitkris if your walking really slowly sure, but if you walk with any amount of intention most people walk about 5-7mph depending on how tall they are

You have a gripe over 2 miles? It's really not a long distance at all, 15 - 20 minute walk isn't bad at all.

Your talking about Google right? This sounds like some of the Google API documentation.

That's why you put it in your contract that you'll put a lein against their business/house if they fail to pay, you'll get payed 100% of the time after they get that lein notice because they can't get loans or credit if they have leins against them, or at least if they can it will be horribly high interest rates.

It's official big rubber duck did it's job, got past many bugs and issues while I was there. My boss now understands what rubber duck debugging is now too. Which makes me look a little less weird talking to my little duck at work.

@endor in that case it could actually be a faulty power button or something of that nature, with the fact that it's so rare it's generally not something any IT shop is going to be able to repair properly.

@TonyG This is not the same thing, not even close, the web version is lacking a crap ton of features that some people need in order to do their jobs.

@endor School IT tech here, this sounds to me like a loose cable inside the laptop somewhere or possibly a bad motherboard/CPU. It is not the hard drive as if it was the screen would freeze not go dark. Unfortunately this is the best I can do without physically being there. I should also mention that the RAM would go bad slowly, not suddenly, and would also not cause a sudden darkness.

@oudalally a lot of this legacy stuff is starting to get removed as php matures. One of those things recently is that you can longer provide a salt for the password hashing function, it is now 100% done by the language to make sure that the salt is actually changing. PHP 7 really put a new light on PHP and I'm really hoping it continues this way.

@tokumei If it's a local git copy somewhere inside the company on a 1Gbs local connection you can clone a 2GB+ in just about 2-3 minutes depending on overall network congestion.

I stopped supporting it, and I build.webaites for schools XD, bug reports with IE are automatically closed and the user notified to use chrome or Firefox (both preinstalled on the computers)
