@fredley We have someone here who keeps referring to themselves as a developer, although they don't work in our department. They "learned on the job". A perfect example of how they're not a developer is that they don't understand the difference between client side and server side.
She was asking if some of the changes we made to the site lately would allow us to turn back on refreshing ads (yes, ads which refresh, love my site), since in the past they caused clients browsers to crash. I told them no, because all the changes we made were server side, and the ad crashing issues were all client side. She goes "What difference does it make? IT's all page load". I spent 2 minutes trying to explain the difference between server side and client side, before i gave up.
in response to @Sterno saying something like "My second child just ate some cheerios and something about the difference between two children vs three children"
@fredley Also that is a good read, although I don't entirely agree with the views on framework/CMS. I agree folks tend to jump to pre-built solutions way too quickly since they don't realize the benefits of building something tailor made for what you need, but there are times when the right framework/CMS is what you need, and will save you a lot of time. They mention that, but it's pretty obvious they view PHP frameworks/CMS as something terrible you should never touch.
@fredley Wordpress community seems to be the worst offender for always going with a pre-built solution which makes no sense. As much as I bitch on Wordpress it's a solid CMS for spinning up basic websites which are going to be very feature lite, but when you try to make some complex website in it you're doing it completely wrong and are just creating more work and headaches for yourself than if you built it for yourself, or even just chose a different CMS/Framwork.
Pokemon go wasn't working in India from past 2 weeks and they said that it will be launched officially later,but it was 2 weeks and I can't wait for it any more.So I request u when it's gonna be released in India?
@Wipqozn having had to attempt to optimise a complex website, made in Wordpress, by a markerting person recently by seemingly adding every single plugin in existence and letting them all fight it out... I can confirm this
@fredley The over reliance on pre-built plugins among some of the community is frustrating. Yeah, plugins are great, but whenever you go to install a plugin you should be asking yourself "How much of this plugins code am I actually going to use?" If there's some 50-feature plugin, and you just need one feature, which is really just a one line code change in wp-config, then installing that plugin is dumb.
@fredley Really, the more I've existed, the more I've come to realize the biggest problem with any of sort "easy to use!" anything, which in this case is PHP and Wordpress, is that it results in a lot of shit non-developers making shit sites because they think they know what they're doing.
@MBraedley the womens marathon commentary on the BBC was worse, one of them complained about the weather, his flight, the food, the locals etc for the entire race almost solid
@Wipqozn Up 'til now she's pretty much only been in Disney Channel stuff. But the reason I'm pretty sure the Internet's going to blow up is because she's African-American. Or... half? According to Wikipedia, her father is and her mother is white.
And in actuality, most of the Olympic Broadcasting Systems commentators (i.e. those that aren't affiliated with a national broadcaster) have bad mic discipline.
@Yuuki adn yeah, I'm sure they will, despite the fact MJs race is rarely completely irrelevant to her character, and, quite frankly, her race doens't even matter.
The core of the MJ character is "Love interest of spiderman'
@KevinvanderVelden No, so these golf commentators have been breathing into the mic, moving the mic around causing noise, there was a phone going off in the background yesterday in or near the commentator booth. It's stuff that a seasoned YouTuber or Twitch streamer wouldn't be caught alive doing.
@Wipqozn Like I said, race is irrelevant to her character, but I'm pretty sure a lot of people are going to get hung up on "she's a pretty iconic redhead".
@MBraedley a lot of commentators this olympics have been complaining about the lack of dampening between the commentary positions in venues, and on a lot of events you can hear other language commentators quite clearly
@KevinvanderVelden Oh, and during the men's tournament, you could sometimes hear the que guy/director/producer setting up the commentators for the next scene.
The 2016 Summer Olympics, officially known as the "Games of the XXXI Olympiad", is an international multi-sport event being held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August 5 to August 21, 2016.[n 1]
Events are taking place at eighteen existing venues (eight of which require some redevelopment), nine new venues constructed for the Summer Games, and seven temporary venues which will be removed following the games. Each event will be held in one of four geographically segregated Olympic clusters: Barra, Copacabana, Deodoro, Engenho de Dentro and Maracanã. The same was done for the 2007 Pan American Games...

Does anyone know if some animals only appear during the night?
Is there perhaps an easier way of exploring a planet completely? It seems such ...
Lately I have used the "broadcast stream" option in Steam to let some friends watch "No Man's Sky", so they could see if it matches their expectations before buying.
They had Steam accounts. I checked "public" option to make my video stream accessible by anyone without me explicitly allowing each...
@MBraedley No, but a lot of ECE stuff doesn't and is basically all lab anyway
So
Like, my one class that was called "something about computer architecture or something" but was actually "this professor teaches whatever the fuck he wants" was mostly arduino programming in class
I've had a solid handful of classes like that
Plus I should hope a 400 level class would be more than "the internet of things is like the internet, EXCEPT WITH THINGS!" and everyone in class is browsing @internetofshit the whole time
Oh wow, UD EMS (fmrly rescue squad) has seriously expanded
@Unionhawk I had one class on "computer engineering" where 1/3 of the course was on how processors were physically constructed because that's what the professor did for a living I think? The rest of the course was on how processors are optimized internally which could have been interesting if the professor did anything more than literally just read his slides to the class and had a personality.
I remember nothing about that class except that it's the only class I ever needed a study group for because the material was so dense and the teacher was so worthless.
I recently created gameboy-color and it seams that I went wrong, the tag should be game-boy-color like game-boy or game-boy-advance.
Renaming/making synonym the tag could also be a good occasion to make gbc synonym before someone use it.
These white dots pulse slowly on my scanner sometimes, on various planets. They will show for about 1 second, then not show for a few. I took the picture underground as at this particular moment there were a lot showing, but they also appear above ground as well.
I have tried to track them, ...
@StrixVaria this is exactly why I never followed a career path in data warehousing. The lecturer just phoned in the teaching and it was almost impossible to actually stay awake long enough to learn anything, he was just... so... BORING...

I'm wondering if it's possible to prevent a player from leaving the bed once he gets in it. I want to count how many times a player slept in a bed.
I made a scoreboard with it:
/scoreboard objectives add sleepingInBed stat.sleepInBed
The problem is that a player can quit the bed when the night...
I noticed that sometimes after a gym gets taken over the opposing team is able to add multiple Pokémon's without training. How much time is available to add a Pokémon to a friendly gym after its taken over. And do you have to be part of the battle to take over a gym in order to assign a pokemon
When I boot up Pokemon Go, doesn't matter what I'm listening to (Podcasts, spotify, etc.) it just pauses it as soon as I see the Niantic/Pokemon Company splash.
Any way to stop this annoying element?
I accepted this mission
After travelling to Kini, I found the shattered remains of a ship and scooped up a canister of "trade data". I then returned to Aristotle gateway.
However the Missions screen didn't offer me a chance to receive my reward.
Why?
Is it true that in a simple sentence: if you can find a 100% perfection Pokemon, then that means you found the best possible IV for that Pokemon, which is 15, 15, and 15?
@Arperum For a long time, based only on the tiny version of @GodEmperorDune's profile pic, I thought it was some artistic picture of a desert landscape (which goes with his name, which probably reinforced the thought).
I still don't remember what it actually is unless I zoom in.
Say if I have a Dragonair, and keep on using stardust and candies to power it up to the max, would it cost exactly the same amount of stardust and candies if I evolve it to Dragonite first, and then power up?
Some gathering and hunting quests are finished by delivering a Paw-Pass Ticket when certain conditions are met - say when hunting 2 of a certain monster, or delivering 10 of an item - but you can keep delivering more items or hunting more monsters. While I can see why sometimes you'd want to hunt...
Well just found another "wordpress devs why are you dumb" example (cc @fredley)
Wordpress has a function which allows you to get the login url, and a filter which will change what this function returns. Wordpress core, however, doesn't seem to ever make use of the function. Like what.
I wonder if sending the SIGTERM signal to a minecraft server does save the world in the same way the /stop command does. I think that this could not be the case because the server doesn't write log messages that he is saving the world when it is killed.
Stopping by using the /stop command:
