css is the loving worst because it makes zero sense to anybody and the most trivial layout problems are comically difficult to solve

it was pretty laffo when i started at my job and my boss told me "we do everything mvc style here" and when i started looking in to the code i found controllers that did nothing but forward to jsps and scriplets, scriplets as far as the eye could see

being a programmer is very profitable whatever lang you choose :)

for reals. some days i hate my job but then i think, i make twice as much as i did in my blue collar career with the potential to earn way way more in the future and i'm getting paid those fat bucks to sit on my rear end and do nothing 3/4 of the time

I'm working on a report this week and while it's tedious and mind-numbing work there is something satisfying about taking a massively retarded sproc riddled with cursors and dynamic sql written by my idiot coworkers that takes 30 seconds to run and replacing it with a view that returns the same results instantly

k&r is poo poo. CamelCase, all man style, hard tabs only.

this is half right. hard tabs are mandatory. camel case is good (I still honestly kind of hate it but what other choice do you have, loving snake case? gross never). but k&r till the day I die. allman style, ugh, loving hideous. the only good thing you can say about allman style is that it isn't gnu style, the most laughably ridiculous style ever conceived.

the primary constraint i deal with in programming is that i figured out a way to do it that is cool but also impractical and i'm going to spend 9 hours figuring out how to do it that way before scrapping it for the easier and better method

the primary constraint I deal with is that our app is a poorly structured pile of spaghetti code and I spend three days fantasizing about refactoring it all or burning it to the ground and starting over and then three hours adding my ugly hack to the great big pile of ugly hacks

you mean the actual security problem...is people???

edit: snowden was a sysadmin. with selinux he should be able to cj poo poo w/o being able to read the TOP SECRET .nfos. but selinux is such a horrible pita to set up for that poo poo that no one bothers, apparently not even the organization with the greatest need for it

snowden didn't get all the docs he stole through his own access. he also grovelled credentials from other people under false pretenses. at the point where you can get away with that, the technical measures aren't all that important.

we already proved like 500 pages ago that option types are the same as checked exceptions and that both are good and that unchecked exceptions are poo poo because they give you no useful information about what types a function can return (aka what exceptions it can throw)

runtimeexception in java sucks poo poo and should never be used for anything. big loving mistake. should have used flow analysis instead to prove that a dereferenced can never be null.

Does anyone have a link to that blog post about "lockfree algorithms are hard, okay?" where he went through a simple lockfree queue and pointed out a dozen different bugs in it?

I'm sure this isn't what you're talking about but Raymond Chen did a series on lock free algorithms a while back that was really good and interesting

I don't have a link or any idea of how you'd find it on his blog though. you're welcome!!!!

My data is valuable so I'm db first all the way. If you want to use EF you add a new entity model (edmx) and then connect it to your db and import the objects/functions you want. I generally only import functions cause I hate EF but its ok as a lovely statement mapper.

you can do code first if you want to be wrong. databases are not object stores.

I seriously just punted on this poo poo and am using raw ado.net for now. I flat out do not get how ef can be soooo loving lovely. like is this seriously what people use? like in production software and stuff? it's mind boggling
