thrownaway954··on Fortunately, I don't squash my commits
i always squash my commits when merging a feature branch. i don't need all the frivolous commits i've made while saving my progress.
thrownaway954··on Open-source self-hosted comments systems for static websites
So basically you're just talking to yourself as there isn't a real conversation with others.
thrownaway954··on One Guy Ruined Hacktoberfest 2020
"CodeWithHarry is not a bad guy, I don't want to cancel or shame him personally."

you kind of are there, don't you think?

thrownaway954··on My friend starts her job today, after learning to program in prison
yes i do cause i've worked in both the government and private sectors. all government jobs required a background check and some even security clearance. quite a few private did also, but most of them don't cause they don't want to spend the money on them or down right don't care about your past cause they have a past themselves. i will say that just because you have a criminal record doesn't mean that you are automatically disqualified. you just have to be upfront and tell before they do the background check. the whole thing is that everyone hates wasting their time. if you tell them up front that you have a history most will thank you and tell you not to worry about it. that is why i'm saying that you have to courage to knock on the door. lots of people see that the job requires a background check and immediately move on disqualifying themselves.
thrownaway954··on My friend starts her job today, after learning to program in prison
Any public or government job will require a background check, most private jobs don't. That doesn't mean you can't get a government job. I will say that the doors are there, you just have to have the courage to knock.
thrownaway954··on Stripe Will Pay Workers $20k to Leave New York and San Francisco
you know what's pretty ridiculous... your 25 minutes old account attempting to call me out. you work for stripe or at another company that's doing or planning this?
thrownaway954··on Stripe Will Pay Workers $20k to Leave New York and San Francisco
this is ridiculous, "the workers who take up the offer will have to take a 10% cut to their compensation." so you get 20K up front, which as jdavis mention, could be used up in moving, then you have to accept a 10% pay cut. so in reality, you're losing all around. just because someone moves to a new area, doesn't mean they should be punished by having a decrease in salary. this is way a scumbaggish way for a company to make money. anyone working for stripe better rethink things and go work for another company.
thrownaway954··on Actionsflow – IFTTT/Zapier free alternative based on GitHub Actions
this right here. the best zapier clone i've seen is automatorwp for wordpress. granted it's new so it doesn't have tons of integration yet, but new ones are being added every month. the interface is just so easy to use, no coding required.

thrownaway954··on Code scanning for security vulnerabilities now available
weird that they don't support ruby when their site is written in it
thrownaway954··on Code scanning for security vulnerabilities now available
actually, i'm very surprised that PHP isn't in the list seeing how WordPress account for 75%+ of the sites internet and the slew of plugins in its ecosystem.
thrownaway954··on Running GitHub Actions for Certain Commit Messages
i honestly though this was common knowledge from seeing all the [ciskip] commits in projects. was i missing something?
thrownaway954··on Windows XP leak confirmed after user compiles the leaked code into a working OS
someone please correct me if i'm wrong cause i'm going off of what i was told decades ago.

in reverse engineering there has to be an intermediate person. in other words, someone could read the source code and the documentation, however they CANNOT actually do the programming. They must write, IN THEIR OWN WORDS, steps and designs for the implementation of the feature and give it to someone else who then interprets and does the actual implementation. this is to ensure that anyone who question how the feature was implemented, they have documentation showing the steps and design of the feature.

again... i don't know what the laws and procedures are today as i'm going off of what i was told, so please someone correct me if i'm wrong.

thrownaway954··on Windows XP leak confirmed after user compiles the leaked code into a working OS
They were called red books ;) i loved reading through them even though i didn't know assembly and often the content was waaaaaaaay over my fragile little mind.

thrownaway954··on Windows XP leak confirmed after user compiles the leaked code into a working OS
everyone working on ReactOS must be drooling right now, though they can't even peek at the source without risk of going through another audit.
thrownaway954··on JavaScript: Search and Don’t Replace (2008)
i have no doubts. i haven't read through the source in years, but i'm sure there are tons of wtfs in there. those dudes had to do some pretty effed up stuff in order to make it work, and keep working, with the slew of browsers and incompatibilities back then.
thrownaway954··on JPMorgan to pay nearly $1B for metals market manipulation
"can you expound on this?"

no.

"why don't they just make ill gotten gains illegal?"

follow the money

thrownaway954··on JavaScript: Search and Don’t Replace (2008)
look at jQuery... if you have never read the source for it, as a developer, you are doing yourself an injustice. not only has john resig worked on it, but also yehuda katz, so there are some really smart people who coded it to learn from.
thrownaway954··on Social Cooling (2017)
those aren't deliberate insults, i'm describing exactly the type of people i encounter on a daily basis.
thrownaway954··on JPMorgan to pay nearly $1B for metals market manipulation
that's what they are claiming. i'm sure they are not reporting everything they made. companies who do these sorts of manipulations know what they are doing and hide as much as they can.
thrownaway954··on JPMorgan to pay nearly $1B for metals market manipulation
it is criminal. if you did it, you would be thrown in a cell for 30 years for wire fraud. remember that in america, the rules are different for corporations as there is plausible deniability for the board... as such, only fines are ever enforced which are taken into consideration when making such moves. jpmorgon might have to pay a 1B fine, but they might have made more than 5B in the transaction.
thrownaway954··on Social Cooling (2017)
you're proving my point perfectly.

i didn't say anything about being an "unrestricted asshole", racist, insulting or attacking anyone deliberately. i simply stated that if you're not in line with the PC terms dejour of the week, you run the risk of being ostracized. you're not a snowflake if someone attacks you and you defend yourself. you have every right to.

however when someone calls you sir, cause you know you're a guy, and you jump down their throat cause they aren't recognizing your non-binary lifestyle of feeling like a girl that day, that's being a dumb ass and an example of how the world is today.

thrownaway954··on Netflix CEO explains why he pays technologists huge salaries
don't gaslight people. dude wasn't insulting anyone.
thrownaway954··on Build a hit counter for Gatsby with React, AWS Lambda, and FaunaDB
i totally agree. plus the fact that he's using a DAS for storing the data. if there is one thing i refuse to do is not be in charge of my database or using something proprietary.
thrownaway954··on YouTube Channels to Level Up Your Programming Skills
_the_ best youtube programming channel i have found is webdev simplified:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFbNIlppjAuEX4znoulh0Cw

the dude knows his stuff and explains everything like your 5 years old which is _exactly_ what i want when viewing a tutorial site.

as an example... his flexbox video is awesome

thrownaway954··on Man dies from eating more than a bag of liquorice a day
"We are told that this patient has a poor diet and eats a lot of candy. Could his illness be related to candy consumption?" Dr Elazer R Edelman said.

He had suffered no symptoms before suddenly going into cardiac arrest in a fast food restaurant.

i think more than liquorice is blame for this dudes death

thrownaway954··on Evil Unit Testing (2019)
my god.... i haven't been to that site in more than a decade. talk about nostalgia.
thrownaway954··on Show HN: Mono Icons – A simple, consistent open-source icon set
i don't get it... there are 136 icons in this pack vs fontawesome 5 having 1600. is there a huge reason for using this vs fontawesome? also... fontawesome seems to be the standard nowadays so i don't see why i would use this. hats off to author for creating and releasing it though.
thrownaway954··on Roughly 2000 blogs running on a $7/month dyno
the site seems to be throwing an application error from heroku. now correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't cloudflare supposed to be a caching proxy? and if i am correct, why am i even getting to the actual server? is it this dude doesn't have cloudflare configured correctly? if anyone can explain this i would love to know so i don't make the same mistake in the future.
thrownaway954··on DOS Subsystem for Linux
i saw a youtube video the other day entitled "why learn asm in 2020", i guess for doing something like this.

this project looks really cool. i don't hear a whole lot of people using dos nowadays but for a tinkering around that would be awesome.

hats off to the author. it's amazing one dude could code this.

also... this is great way for businesses to find out more about their competitors.
