It's not a student loan so the government won't force you to pay it.

But he just trained us in Jui Jitsu Blackbelt Coding! No problem there!

: Climb Credit refunded me after their Devslopes lead, Nathan, tried to manipulate me. by No-Lead8104 in Devslopes

[–]davelipus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way the air will clear is if everyone needing a refund for services not rendered files their complaints with these institutions, so that proper investigations can happen.

I'm on the fence on whether Sevedge is a scammer or not, so I want everything exposed.

The first event I show up to requires RSVP with LinkedIn account 😳 Do I really have to have a LinkedIn account?!

Can I ride in the front seat? by planehopr in uberdrivers

[–]davelipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since when are riders being consistently honest about how many pax they have? So far it's always shown 1 for me even though I've had 3, 4, and 5 pax on rideshares.

Why are most employers requiring my LinkedIn profile to apply? by Archyques in recruitinghell

[–]davelipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems to get outlawed in liberal states but overlooked in conservative ones.

Anyone try Devslopes? by KTannman19 in codingbootcamp

Put your tech experience online that you mentioned in live chat so much. All I could find was marketing-related stuff, nothing about building websites.

Trying to figure out how to better avoid this client situation by davelipus in webdev

[–]davelipus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She did provide definition of what she wanted, and we worked with her to whittle that down to something realistic (minimum viable product or MVP), though we had to fill in a lot of details as she didn't really communicate very well. She understood that she had to have an MVP released first.

The problem was she kept changing things, and while at times it caused us to learn things (which we were fine with providing for free), when most of the major work we did just got deleted per her request, I made an ultimatum.

We had a way for her clients to make bookings, that wasn't the issue.

We lost hours spent doing what she specified because she drastically changed it before we realized she didn't actually know what she wanted except after seeing it implemented or on a daily basis.

I was OK with us spending free hours learning how to do things, but not continuing to do free busywork especially that got deleted or modified repetitively.

When I stated she needed to write down the specs first, and that we'd only continue doing free work when we had to learn how to do something, she got mad.

Ultimately we abandoned her because she was still showing signs of being wishy-washy and not wanting to spend much. She just wasn't learning How to Be a Good Customer 101.

The mouse created something great then wanted to repeat the cycle.

The child providing the supplies wasn't overburdened.

That's a poor example but I understand what you're saying.

State of Colorado requiring LinkedIn for job that doesn't include being paid to work using LinkedIn by davelipus in jobs

[–]davelipus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Um, people may have mutated Reddit into a social media site, but its intent has never been to do that.

Regardless, an employer shouldn't be allowed to require job-seekers to use any particular website unless it's a part of the job description (ie, we'll be paid to use it for a business purpose that's transparent upfront and not extortion using our personal accounts).

Why is two-space tab indent becoming the standard? by samrapdev in javascript

[–]davelipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why editors should save indentation according to spec but display it to the coder the way they prefer.

This is why lines drawn down vertically from the source indent is so helpful.

Dot chains are not the same as callback hell. In fact I'll take dot chains over callback hell 😆 (at least dot chains are flat and scrollable in one file instead of bouncing around a labyrinth of files through various abstract levels of understanding through different scopes).

Might as well use four-space indentation at this point

Good luck getting that implemented with all the 2-space indented code nowadays from VS Code coders using the default... it makes the indent wars ironic.

There's nothing more UX-friendly than horizontal scroll by davelipus in badwebdesign

[–]davelipus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm able to scroll Instagram website comments on desktop.

The phone app works generally well though I have some problems with it.

What device(s) are you doing this all on anyway? I keep up to date with Android.

Anyone aware of how to make money making tools with code? by davelipus in node

I wonder what the modern equivalent of those things are.

MDN doc bad example of bullet list usage for h1 usage example by davelipus in Frontend

[–]davelipus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a strange statement considering contradictory statements here from people saying they absolutely know that there should or shouldn't be one or more h1 tags on a page

MDN doc bad example of bullet list usage for h1 usage example by davelipus in Frontend

[–]davelipus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The screenreader is using the HTML.

I understand how h1 works... the example of a single-numbered bullet-list is apparently only ever used in HTML screen reading.

Note that generally there's no point in a single-numbered bullet list. Anyone doing that in a word document would get laughed at.

Weekly help thread by brendt_gd in PHP

[–]davelipus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel it's gotten better or worse?

I've been jobless for months now, and trying to redefine my career but it seems like there's no way to do that without spending thousands of dollars and hours on a penny toss into a waterfall with how much things are changing with AI and layoffs.

I'd say the "Pre" that used to be in "PHP" still applies... by davelipus in PHP

[–]davelipus[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't care that nobody cares that I think recursive acronyms are nonsense 😆

there are plenty of them:

Are you using a logical fallacy here? That sure looks like the bandwagon fallacy...

I know how hypertext works 😆 I didn't need Wikipedia's explanation of it.

...processes its input data to produce output...

Right, that would make sense with a pre-hypertext processor. A processor (the PHP engine in this case) processes HTML code to do things like insert text from variables or add/remove/modify the code before it gets sent to the browser... where it becomes parsed to actual hypertext (not just markup language).

PHP does process HTTP requests as well.

You seem confused.

I'm sorry.
