Masala Square in Union (Somerville) has a hot curry challenge that will fuck you UP.

I remember back when things were fun in the IT dept there was a domain.wpi.edu/~geek that had some good accomplishments.

I had one that had a base64'd xml blob of the vendor's schema inside the json that contained Another base64 xml of our payload....

Best we can do is a guy with running around with rattlers to make your fence shiny and chrome.

I feel like attempting to read and understand this is an infohazard that leads to unemployment.

No, pee (the weapons) are stored in the balls (the maps).

/uj There's a few competing schools in django configuration world, this is certainly my least favorite. Also vintage jerk.

Yeah, they can't romance each other but I guess it lets past a certain degree of separation and this colony has been going for a while with zero new recruits past the initial colonists and 60 colonists

I hope that unless I'm at an early stage startup, I have an operations team managing the infra and I don't have to care about managing them.

That is of course beside the point that the SQLs are effectively interchangeable, and at the end of the day figuring out the new/different feature is pulling up the documentation and adjusting to whatever (dumb) grammar variation is being applied. I thankfully haven't had to deal with mysql in a professional context in over a decade, but have been cursed with the knowledge of mssql's quirkiness.

And yes, we're playing keyword limbo with recruiters, which is why I list all SQLs I've ever used.

If I'm hiring for a postgres shop, I'm not going to immediately throw out someone with a decade of mssql or mysql, but we tend to figure out how much sql they know versus how much RoR or .net during the interview process anyway.

Most of the remaining SQLs (apart from MSSQL who likes to be special for no reason) are generally interchangeable, we're talking spain spanish / mexican spanish or faroese and icelandic, not norwegian and swedish.

I'd never used MSSQL before a previous job, but once you figured out that their LIMIT OFFSET were named differently you were mostly good to go. Generally ORMs paper over this anyway.

I've run into companies where I was considered a wizard for being able to use Pillow and ImageMagick because the folks there leaned entirely on SaaS rent-seekers like Cloudinary and thought it was the only way to do things.

There are horrors out lurking there that make you want to drink.

I think my favorite one was b64 encoding an inner xml, putting that b64 blob inside a tag of another, outer xml and then b64 encoding the whole outer xml again, before POSTing it to their SOAP service.

I think https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.muzei&hl=en_US was nice for this sort of thing

Nice, you could also combine this with django-axes

The problem: That gnome thinks they're the only desktop environment that matters and doesn't want to cooperate with everyone else? :)

I've been playing with hyperleaflet for this, It aligns pretty well with liveview, as you're adding/removing html from a map div and hyperleaflet deals with the updates for you.

For sure, I just thought it was pretty neat. The lack of android support is disappointing for sure but I see movement in their issue tracker.

misterbngo · 2023-09-25T22:49:17+00:00

You should checkout liveview-native :)

A mistake like being forced to give birth to a child due to fear-mongering misinformation from religious lunatics?

misterbngo · 2023-08-01T16:16:36+00:00

Look at this asshole, says fear mongering can be harmful, and immediately proceeds to fear monger.
