I can only think of one example where some simple programming skills could benefit ordinary users: Home Automation. All the more difficult stuff is already neatly packaged into ready to use modules, and the user doesn’t have to worry about the ZigBee protocol or APIs or network ports to turn on a light bulb. Here some knowledge about conditionals, variables, loops can easily be used to program useful automations.

Oh no I might be a bot and didn’t know it yet

Micromoochies, Nanomoochies, Picomoochies? The possibilities are endless

Just call it Ecmascript and be done with it. The name JavaScript was misleading from the beginning. Well, Ecma sounds like a skin disease but who cares.

I know this is posted in funny, but whatever. You could still login locally using keyboard and monitor. Uncool, but it works

That looks like advice on how NOT to ask for technical support on a public forum.

1. Be generic and vague. Omit as many details as possible, this will only distract from the problem at hand.
2. remember to include your private API key to share it with the world.

Deutsche Gründlichkeit at work. They not only infiltrate the party but take it over completely, up to the point where they do such a good job in pretending to be nazis that they become nazis themselves. 💯

I was wondering if that might be a thing. Saw people talk about “the codes” instead of “code” more than once.

Time to resurrect a classic

I was watching Al Jazeera to see what they had to say and they called the Hamas terror attack “the Hamas military operation”. I have no sympathies for them to say it kindly. Actually the can fuck right off. Deliberately butchering civilians, many among them children is not a military operation. It’s a terror attack.

It’s more of a calendar thing I’m afraid.

Enjoy

I don’t like this story. The outcome is only accidentally good and what the author seems to miss entirely is the elephant in the room: A crass failure to communicate with the developers. If you try to establish something like KPIs (not commenting on if that is good or bad here) you need to talk to the team and get them on board. If you treat them like lab rats and try to measure individual performance from the outside that is an obvious fail. In the end, where they state that they “quietly” dropped it, indicates that the real lesson was not learned.

Uh, and a dilbert comic.

Might try that in CSV files
