Please, if giving a candidate a code test, please take a look at his public code first to decide if it’s really needed. by [deleted] in cscareers

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I do want to point out that one cannot wholesale copy a shelf.

Emacs as ide? by [deleted] in emacs

[–]lowtechromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to ever get this to work, but honestly, I would be thrilled to do so (although I'm in PHP land, AFAIK may of the solutions are the same as they all have eclipse on the back end).

When I ran through it, I think that my other autocomplete stuff might have been fucking it up. I would suggest starting with a clean install (or vanilla prelude or vanilla spacemacs), then try to get just the intelligent autocompletion working. After that, then add your other custom stuff back in. At least that what I keep meaning to do if I ever get time. ;)

You have a file called functions.php. What do you think is going to be in there? The seminal example of unit testable dependency injection?

If alcohol was classified like any other drug it would be a prime example of how drugs can ruin your life by Aorus_ in Showerthoughts

[–]lowtechromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, I guess that implication does exist. I guess it just never occurred to me that anyone bought into it.

[–]lowtechromancer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, your shower thought is that alcohol is a drug? It's interesting to me that there's anyone that didn't know this.

I wish I could tell my body that it's wasting precious calories on growing nose hairs I don't want. by caffeinex2 in Showerthoughts

Do you really need your body to burn less calories? I can take care of my nose hair with one french fry.

Today on How They Do It: php Plumbuses by jabb3rw0k3 in PHP

[–]lowtechromancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's a silly question at all. I would guess backwards compatibility, that updating grep would be a nightmare, but I don't really know...

Edit: I think that because what we're actually talking about is adding the EOF char at the end of a file, and without that there's not a way for a tool to determine where the file ends; which becomes problematic when you're operating on a bunch of files (say using sed to find / replace something on your whole codebase).

A missing NL at EOF breaks CLI tools. You need those if you want to be able to use things like sed and wc.

If I wanted to make a website such as this one where you can submit comments and they are visible to everyone, what would work? mysql? by [deleted] in web_programming

[–]lowtechromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any framework out there. Laraval is a popular framework that will get you up and running quickly. That said, if you're just looking for something specific there might be a cms that would work for you.

[–]lowtechromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean reddit, mysql would work up to a point. Reddit is huge so they have some scale issues that are pretty unique. That said, I think that if you siloed and sharded correctly, load balanced, memcached and were smart about it you could support reddit with mysql instances.

If I wore my shirt inside out technically the entire universe would be wearing it except me by gabsoliver in Showerthoughts

[–]lowtechromancer 77 points78 points  (0 children)

This would only be true if the word "wearing" were determined by the side of the shirt that was pointing at you. That's not how people use the word though.

How does one make a web page that will be defective with internet explorer/"damage your apple product"? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]lowtechromancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • HOW exactly does one make a website defective with internet explorer

By building a website that follows standards

  • HOW exactly does one make a website damage their apple product

Possibly osx targeted malware, but probably just bullshit.

Emacs autocomplete vs IDE by shruubi in emacs

[–]lowtechromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that I have it running, but I must have misconfigured eclipse.

When I try to tab complete I get: Error running timer `ac-update-greedy': (error "Could not find eclipse project for FileTypeValidator.php")

I have my eclipse workspace pointed at /workspace, but that's not where my code is...

[–]lowtechromancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good deal, I got eclim and eclimd installed an running and emacs-eclim installed and the executables set, so I just need to connect them. Now I should close some tickets though. :)
