About w0rd-driven

Web developer out of Woodstock, GA. Primarily friendly with JavaScript and PHP but my IT past has a way of bleeding into my current knowledge.

    Not to detract from what seems like an intricate project, but peon-ping ( https://www.peonping.com/ ) has a ton of voice packs now and one of them is Mr Meeseeks. My only issue wit…

    I can’t exactly tell if we’re saying the same thing but my thought was a flag to switch between the 1.2 way for faster startup and the earlier approach for longer running processes…

    Just so I clearly understand, if I have a lot of files and directories in say /repositories or /projects and go to upgrade, there’s a chance I won’t have that any more because I mi…

    I’d be interested in something like this as well. I have a discombobulated list of apps and attempted strategies to take notes and can’t seem to stick to something simple.

    The official docs for Elixir or Phoenix framework go a long way. One thing that sticks out above the rest for me is Elixir koans[0]. They’re extremely rudimentary but I think the p…

    I think the biggest to a hurdle is the fact that there is no stdlib so nothing unused has to be shaken out. I think that’s a low barrier now though with more than adequate tooling.…

    Rockstar Claw is fixed via the ‘Standard FPS’ setting with toggle to run. You click the left thumbstick once to jog and twice to sprint just like FPS games like COD. Pulling fully …

    It's hard to gauge its looks as unfamiliar with TS as I am but would the equivalent without the spread operator look any better? I call code like this 'clever' as it uses the langu…

    How do you know you're unable to be a programmer? Are you just basing that on having issues with leetcode or CTCI? I spent 2 years in college studying CS before I couldn't continue…

    I would assume their logs would possibly tell them which tokens were associated with the users that downloaded v3.7.2. npm probably doesn't need credentials to download a package s…

    I crawl a specific site somewhere up to 50 unique URLs a day. I store both the unparsed full html as a file and the json I'm looking for as another separate file. The idea is if so…

    I went to college for a bachelor's degree from about 1998 to early 2000. I never finished but I absorbed a breadth of the fundamentals. Once I started getting into assembly and dee…

    I ran into this December 2017 when I went to transfer funds to Coinbase. To be a little fair, coinbase had a series of more than one charge and refund. When I initiated this verifi…

    What does your CV have on it? Are you highlighting technologies or are you showcasing business needs followed by solutions? My resume style used to highlight the former because I t…

    I came from the other way around. I only studied CS in college and my cs101 course is where everything clicked back in 1998. I didn't get my degree and took 10 years of IT to reali…

    This also accurately describes what Microsoft purchased with LinkedIn. It still isn't the best platform in terms of what it covered but there's immense value in the community that …

    The company I work for used Darwin in place of CentOS up until some time in 2015 for a good number of years. Do not recommend. At all. The case insensitive file system didn't help …

    I think in spirit its a good thing. I do want to incentivize content producers to produce good content and recoup costs. The reality of it seems far different. What stops a site fr…

    In my previous life I worked on kiosks using POS equipment like this. Scanners are typically just keyboard interfaces. The barcodes are essentially very old school QR codes that ac…

    Windows is touted as the largest git repository. What service like Github or Gitlab could handle something that massive? I'm sure they could scale eventually but if that ever happe…

    I came here to say just this. Boostnote isn't 1:1 from what I can tell at a cursory glance of Quiver's features but I've enjoyed its progression even if I barely use it. I've had a…
