only good thing about javascript is that it forces people to put the squiggly brackets on the right

bcrussin_dev ,

I thought you could put curly brackets on a new line in js? Although I know when returning an object it has to be on the same line… fuck JavaScript man

    “When you do things the right way, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”

    agressivelyPassive ,

    That’s why you get everything in writing. No change without detailed description of what you’re doing and a written reply stating that yes, this is what they want. Otherwise you’ll be in a constant refactoring treadmill.

    Ikiillpplalot ,

    I’m working for a big company and our end-user has a lot of ideas of what features he wants. The only issue is that he changes his mind at the end of each sprint or in the middle of it. I am happy he has ideas for making the work more efficient because at the end of the day that’s the major point of our work, but he can’t lock down a deliverable. We have a business admin that’s supposed to work out the actual work we need to do but this end user both won’t take no for an answer for his idea and won’t stick to his own script. I’d describe it less as a feature creep and more as a bunch of lateral moves and shifting goalposts that doesn’t always amount to something better than the first interation yet it’s still somehow a major blocker. Not only that but the big picture ideas get lost in his own plans and it becomes all about the small things he didnt articulate when I present the work.

    It’s getting pretty frustrating.

    Solid change control. I’ve seen so many project come undone through lack of change control. You can only develop with stable requirements and changes to requirements should come with a cost. Without it it’s basically offering unlimited development forever, often on fixed fee contracts too.

    Why’s it need to be temporary, anyway? It’s an airport. Nobody’s sticking around.

    IphtashuFitz ,

    You haven’t “flown” recently, have you?

    mindbleach ,

    Why, did they add a week-long quarantine in baggage check? It’s an airport. The whole point is to show up and leave. Even if the wait lasts longer than the flight.

    If your ass in there longer than 24 hours, the wifi should be considered an apology.

    yumpoopsoup ,

    It lasted 1 hour for me and if you’ve been to a busy airport you can be there for longer than that

    mindbleach ,

    Then why is it one hour?

    Long time ago, it was probably due to overcrowding. Very easy to get shit quality of service once it hits a certain time of day.

    But with advances in wireless technology (backhaul, 5Ghz, MIMO, …) I think that’s no longer the case.

    original_ish_name , in Simple trick

    Your airport wifi doesn’t ask for your email, phone number, bank number of your life savings, etc?

    WarmSoda ,

    No. Where are you that it asks you for info?

    original_ish_name ,

    The bank number for life savings was a joke but for some reason they wanted me to verify (I didn’t btw)

    WarmSoda ,

    Oh I know that. Common verification joke people use.
    I’ve never been asked for any information to use airport wifi, that’s why I was wondering where they do ask.

    DragonTypeWyvern ,

    Places where the airport wifi is actually an evil twin.

    FlexibleToast ,

    As someone who travels for work, it seems like most places ask.

    Istanbul requires a Turkish phone number or for you to scan your passport at a console.

    Usually it asks for an email, but you can just input a fake one.

    This comes back to bite you when you purchase in-flight wifi which is tied to your MAC address. Make sure to disable that option for the in-flight access point!

    derock ,

    on an AA flight I was recently on, they gave out free 20 mins of internet for watching a 15s ad, but this was once per device type of deal. In this case, turning on randomized mac addresses meant I get free inflight wifi for the entire flight!

    We just need to change one field into an array, so that users can be linked to more than one location.

    We estimate around 400 hours work.

    vivadanang ,

    We estimate around 400 hours work-

    In order to analyze the problem, inform stakeholders and a allow for a brief period for outlining the next potential steps to be decided by the steering committee. Once there, we can talk about allocating developer hours to enabling the resolution and it’s required upgraded dependencies. See my previous estimate sent 2/7/2018.

    @1984@lemmy.today avatar

    Honestly, I love statically compiled binaries for their simplicity. I was writing a small utility in Rust today and I wanted to share it with a colleague on windows.

    One command to cross compile my Linux version to windows version and it worked on first attempt on his computer. To me it’s worth giving up a lot of the advantages of shared libraries for that kind of simplicity.

    There is no install. There is only run.

    mustardman ,

    We should replace software repositories with the friendly person who stops by with a USB. Running “apt upgrade” pulls up an Uber-like interface that says when your software will arrive. Latency is terrible but bandwidth is phenomenal.

    dot20 ,

    IIRC apt actually does support external media (because back in the day, not everyone had fast internet).

    JustBrian7872 ,

    Yes it does, still used when installing from media like DVD

    nixfreak , in single binary executable and dlls

    Cause statically linked libs can be very large. I agree though , rather have statically linked then dynamic.

    reinstall the entire operating system with debian 11.

    install shitlib-2.
    it’s not compatible with shitlib-1.
    compile it from source.
    automake breaks.

    It actually works.
