Comment on: Flat UI Sucks

this has nothing to do with programming though? what programmer makes overall UI decisions? espcially for things like Win10, android and any major web company.

Comment on: Stupidest Mistake you've made lately? Here's mine.. Just locked myself out of a new server.

Sounds like when I had to log into our windows AWS instance and I was told that the password to the account needed to be changed, and it didn't matter what I changed it to, because it was the jenkin's build account. well the admin account also needed the password changed, I ended up changing that one as well thinking that was the account being referred to and lost the password since it was some random password generator i used in a terminal. Later my boss asked me if i changed the admin password, which is when I realized that wasn't the one I was suppose to change. We thought I was going to have to reinstall everything the next time someone needed it. Thankfully my boss figured out how to get back in somehow, but it made me sweat for a good while.

Comment on: Java security plagued by crappy docs, complex APIs, bad advice

It also mentions that two years ago programming should be renamed googling stack overflow. If you're using stack overflow that often, you probably don't know how to program. Should you never use stack overflow? of course you should use it sometimes, but if you're using it for every single thing, you're not thinking enough and/or shouldn't be programming.

Comment on: What is the very first thing for an old fart like me to learn so I can dabble in programming?

Python is a decent place to start. Its fairly easy to learn and you can feel like you are getting something done fairly easily.

That sounds awful, are you trying to drive him away from programming? Object oriented is the most retarded shit pushed by universities. Some object oriented is fine but when you try to force everything into it ( java c#) it just becomes moronic.

Comment on: Only 36% of Indian engineers can write compilable code: study

It was basically the white undergrads (not a whole lot of anything else in comp sci) and then the Indians grad students. So basically only them.

Comment on: COBOL Is Everywhere. Who Will Maintain It?

not a bad idea to learn a bit of mainframe assembly and jcl as well if that's what you want.

I learned a bit of cobol in college, not like it's a hard language to learn, just have to have someone willing.

Yup there's a reason I never applied for a job like that

Comment on: Whatsapp clone

this isn't programming, maybe if this was an open source project where you were showing the code, that would be interesting but as it stands, this is just spam.

Comment on: Looking for feedback on my Typing Test web app!

hmm, I didn't see it while doing a couple of tests, but it almost seemed like sometimes it was the opposite where I would press space but it wouldn't register the space... didn't confirm for sure though.

Comment on: Looking for feedback on my Typing Test web app!

keycode 18 press keycode 57 press keycode 18 release keycode 17 press keycode 57 release keycode 30 press keycode 17 release keycode 21 press keycode 30 release keycode 57 press keycode 21 release keycode 20 press keycode 57 release keycode 24 press keycode 20 release keycode 57 press keycode 24 release keycode 57 release keycode 20 press keycode 18 press keycode 20 release keycode 31 press keycode 18 release keycode 20 press keycode 31 release keycode 57 press keycode 20 release keycode 21 press keycode 24 press keycode 21 release keycode 57 release keycode 22 press keycode 24 release keycode 19 press keycode 22 release keycode 19 release

so this one was "way to". where 17 is w, a is 30, y is 21, space is 57 and t is 20. are you checking the key releases or presses? I think i'm releasing the key after I press space possible.

Comment on: Looking for feedback on my Typing Test web app!

nope, simple words like "with" happened when i was typing fast, first few times i assumed i had typed it wrong but then i started looking at the words and it was like the space didn't register even though it was there.

Comment on: Looking for feedback on my Typing Test web app!

It sometimes doesn't register correct words, which is annoying. even when they have a space and all that. no idea why but super frustrating.

Yup documentation and examples. All of that really helps when learning what you can do.

Comment on: like twitch but hate flash? i made a gui for livestreamer. Let me know what you think.

I could never find anything when I searched for something like this, thanks for the link!

but yeah you're right about the executable, this was mostly just a project i made for myself because i got fed up with twitch's flash player.

the refresh is currently pretty slow. I’m thinking of putting it into another thread so that it doesn't freeze the program or maybe I should get the actual twitch api.
