This is annoying. This method is called in a hundred places, and half of the times it is called using named parameters like foo(arg1: "bar", arg2: "baz");
So if I want to change the name of the parameters, I have to change the name everywhere it got called
We're late in the cycle for this product, so I can only refactor it in the next version
Which I guess would be fine, but then if someone makes another change to this version, merging forward becomes difficult
I'm all for punishing my coworkers for branching early. Let's do this!

J/k. I won't be that guy. But this is the kind of thing I write down and bring up during our Sprint Retrospective, where we identify all of the things we could have done better and then toss them out the window.
here's my MMOKOTH progress so far (it isn't really much) koth-phinotpi.rhcloud.com I've just been messing around with Perl's GCI (Common Gateway Interface) module and css files.
@minxomat Thanks for the suggestion but I think AutoIt might be a bit tricky to fit in, unfortunately. Double quotes aside, ConsoleWrite/ConsoleRead's also pretty expensive
Will keep in mind if something changes and I end up chucking out languages though
I will do my best to be happy knowing that you are dependent.
My boss just told me that I was the only developer that got a flu shot. They are giving them for free, at the workplace. Why would a person not take advantage of that?
Consider this definition of "refactoring" from Martin Fowler's book, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code:
Refactoring is the process of changing a software system in such a way that it does not alter the external behavior of the code yet improves its internal structure.
What ...
I'm not sure there's a good antonym. Refactoring is an intentional act, and I'm not sure intentionally making the code worse is common enough to have a name.
Everyone can use a life-support chat-bot.... It would make this considerably less usable but we would at least have a false sense of people who are alive.

A few months ago the adventure of your live was just about to start. And now, in this precise moment (yeah, now), after months of suffering and hard work, you and a group of friends are standing on the top of the world. Yes, you are right, you are on the summit of Sagarmāthā.

Maybe this is dumb, but everyone who can't see the flash understands that you have to be on another tab when the message is posted to get the flash, right?
Currently, oneboxing requires that the URL be the only thing in a chat message. If additional text is added with the url in the same chat message, oneboxing won't work.
If other people are chatting, they can break in and divorce the onebox from the descriptive text:

I just had that conversation with a new tester that I dread having every single time. Him: "I found this and it sucks." Me: "I agree. It sucks. But the requirements are worded such that it is acceptable, so it's not technically a Bug. Make a User Story for it and stick it in the backlog."
Some Linux distros are going to start replacing Python 2 with 3 as the default
version.
However, you have a heck of a lot of scripts with hashbangs that are Python
2-only (e.g. #/usr/bin/env python). You need to change them all to read
python2.
The input

I received the outspoken badge and I would like to thank all of my supporters, those who believed in me, but most of all, those who gave their stars to me. Thanks.
The questions makes it sound like it's the distri's fault. The real mistake was to allow two major versions of the same language to coexist for such a long time.
It is a dry summer in the prairie. The four farmers in the area realize that they can corner the market on corn by burning their neighbors crops. But they need a strategy for doing so; that is where you come in.
Your task is to write a bot to tell the farmers what to burn. The goal is to finish ...
I like how certain projects tell you to "install the JRE" or "download Java". Yeah, like I'm going to download an installer that is guaranteed to contain adware...
Does anyone know of a useful audio-identification program? I'm trying to identify (and count) a specific dog barking from a live microphone feed. I think I could probably put something together (with enough trial/error), but if there's free software already available, I'll save my time and effort.
@minxomat I've got beat recognition and frequency detection java code from an old project of mine that would probably do it. I just don't feel like figuring out how to get it working together right for this task and training it all, then tweaking it, etc.
Ideally I'd have a program I could just feed a bunch of samples (pos/neg) and have it just run.
He's apparently been barking quite a bit while I'm at work. I've been working with him at home, but I don't know at all how well that's turning out when I'm not there.
Not automated enough. I mean, sure it could be effective... but it's 2015 dammit. If I can't have a hoverboard, I at least want my computer to help me out a bit :D
OK. Attach a mic to it, then another mic somewhere in the room the dog in question normally resides. Use the cocktail party algorithm (stackoverflow.com/questions/20414667/…) to strip out the background noise, then just write something that detects when the noise levels are above a threshold.
@quartata Hmm. That could work I guess, but ideally I don't have a mic strapped to the dog. That would mean transmitting somehow, and I don't have a mic at the moment for that. Plus, then battery life is an issue.
You could just place a computer in the room, have it stream the audio from your house and listen to it in the background while at work. If you hear barks, then you know somethings up.
I'm great at coming up with cool ideas that require just enough hardware skill to make them impossible for me to execute because I'm terrible with hardware.
@Geobits Worth trying for sure. You might want to consider a few things like maybe having several different clips with different commands (make it sound less robotic) and give treats to him if he doesn't bark very much on a day.
For anyone who knows TI-BASIC, I've increased the bounty for outgolfing me to 200 rep.

Quines have been around forever. It's a fun challenge: write a program that, when executed, generates its own source code as output. But how do you know it's actually producing its own source code? Generally, you have to look at it and compare it, but with quines generally being composed of tr...
Maybe Optimizer is swimming in a giant book pit, and encountered a particularly engaging book on the surface, whereas the good ones are typically many meters below.
For golfing practice, I have been doing the assignments in my girlfriend's intro to python class. I found that for this assignment, there were multiple strategies that came very close in character count, and I'm sure people here can find even better ways. Although I am most interested in ways to ...
