For every department, IT knows of a canary. If that person of … questionable mental ability … finds their way around the new systems, everyone else will, too.

I think experience’s and common sense’s lines should be switched. Otherwise, great.

At first I thought you missed the -r. Then I checked. Defaulting to STDIN here is very, very dumb, IMHO. Almost as bad as putting the “edit” flag right next to the “delete everything without confirmation” flag on a Western keyboard (-e vs -r).

This only works if the cancel button looks like a specialized button. If it doesn’t (for instance, if it looks like the usual “×” symbol), you’re in for a lot of style overrides.

Oh, and guess what: Your suggestion is exactly what bootstrap does. .btn.primary is for the default action, .btn.secondary I usually use for aborting and going back, .btn.danger shows that bad things will happen. The only difference is that if doesn’t force its default styles on all plain <button> elements that might be present on the page.

Not every button should have the usual button-y style. A close button, for instance, might be displayed differently. Or a play button layered on top of a video.

A use case I find perfectly valid are <label class="btn">s for checkboxes and radios with huge-ass hit areas.

WTF‽ I’m a web dev for 5 years, 8 if you count university, and I’ve never heard about bookmarklets. Why would that even begin to work?

Man, this is so amazing!

If you count the programming language you use as ‘platform’, then yes. Python rounds both 11.5 and 12.5 to 12.

• Man, it’s so annoying to have to use multiple machines because one isn’t beefy enough!
• We can now shove the hardware of 10 machines into one, making it the beefiest!
• Man, it’s so annoying to have to use such a beefy machine!
• We can now divide a beefy machine into 10 mediocre ones, just like you always wanted!

Make it make sense to me.

Are you typing the whole filename by hand? Tab expansion exists, you know?

As if the goddamn support knew their asses from their asserts.

Excellent point. For those who are unfamiliar: Survivorship bias

I mean, when you look at old walls made of quarry stone, they kinda look like this and still hold.

This comment is ranty because I just stubbed my toe on this.

The fucking software repositories need to be current, goddamnit. Either provide a curated list of up-to-date software or don’t. Don’t pretend you have software in store just for the user to find out that it’s (literally, for fuck’s sake!) 4 years behind the current release.

I’ll offer a different explanation: After checking for a few months they realized that all’s good and that the tracking isn’t needed anymore.

What’s wrong with a time tracker? If you’re billing a client, you need to know how much time you spent on them. If you’re tracking internal projects, then it’s still worth knowing where your time is spent and if it might be better spent elsewhere. If it’s work hours that are tracked, then that’s a solution for ‘Unregistered overtime.’

Joke.

Easy money.

Oh, was it already time to reinvent the wheel? Again?
