just use one of myriad array methods available, like "find" for this case

"can't write some class of software" is just wrong, is all

Nope, you got windows putting adverts in the start menu because of weak-willed 'consumers' tolerating oppressive crap that is win10. There is nothing wrong with using Linux or Win7 on desktop right now.

> Car UIs get worse over time, not better.

Unsubstantiated claim of the year. "Everything there was to be discovered is already discovered".

For those who don't believe in improving UI, there still exists a possibility of tweaking the stock to suit one's needs.

Well touchscreens will show you new, better organized or painted buttons (with the power of FOSS of course). Surely you don't wanna swap half of your dash every time someone comes up with something better?

oh, the consenting adults argument, my ass. As if there aren't enough things consenting adults are banned from choosing like drugs or gambling. Some proprietary crap can be compared to both.

It doesn't take much effort on your part to check that something hasn't been fixed. But it does take a lot of effort to re-do the work you spent much time on because some jerk pulls idiotic tricks.

Evolution succeeds once again.

It will happen as long as weak willed tolerate this. Educate your neighbor for better experience for all.

It's doubly amazing that this happens while Win7 is still more than usable.

This isn't react only, it's component approach in general, do you, after 14 years, really denounce component approach?

mRemoteNG is very good for many remote sessions.

You don't need to take this to non-logical extreme. Node standard library is in no way limited, I guess we just see the world differently.

I'd never prefer one 'true' way (aka opinionated bs) to organic ecosystem competition.

No matter what you include, someone always comes and says this broad useless generalization. What of this looks like it should be standard? https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1600/1*opTXAh1ohEAVpBM4W...

If those companies can't achieve basic protocol detection, I'm all for someone shoving it down their throats. Why not Google?

It does however increase the chance that it will be bad, because the average snake that produces closed source software is likely to be motivated by greed, so it has the incentive to milk you as hard as it can without turning you away from products (using lies of course, you can't check anything after all, it's closed shit).

But seeing sibling explanation being downvoted into oblivion makes me think no one is interested in discussing this anyway so why waste breath.

He's telling you about the fact that there's conflict of interest between you and crapple and you tell him an anecdote where some scum of this earth stole money and open source software was involved. Does this really sound like a compelling argument?

This is stacked against power user just like anything else in this world. Technology is dumbed down for the average user whereas I believe we should strive to make the average user smarter instead. Not happening tho it seems.

Neither do mine, I'm just looking from the other, recruiter's side (not USA, no family, web platform). What makes people think that recruiters have to give time to someone who is likely worse over someone who is likely better? We are free to allocate our time as we see fit, but we must also accept full responsibility for the consequences.

It's likely that these are for company itself. Ain't no one got time to deal with questions that are already explained on the website. This is made to filter mindless or lazy drones who don't want to search and its totally fair.

>To other jobs have such requirements?

Do other jobs have such benefits? Remote work all over the globe for example? The fact that everyone needs IT these days and so you have tons of work? Nice comfy offices? Apples to oranges won't fly.

> And also what should you do?

Find a work-life balance instead of answering a fair question with a defensive silly question of your own (I ain't even a recruiter and that answer right there made me lol, imagine a guy having to listen to that defensive shit and still having to try and salvage a candidate because he may have strict job requirements). And by that balance I mean either work your ass off to produce quality code in your spare time and stand out among candidates or don't and someone else will stand out instead.

Also check out the irony with this 'my code' stuff too. That's exactly why you have to work ass off in spare time: because every employer goes 'quack! it's my code, don't show it to anyone' so you can't share it with another recruiter.

> what if I don't?

god I hope this is exaggerated lol.

Filthy recruiter, how can they even ask such a question. How dare they ask whether I make tech world better outside my job. Muh keeds, muh family.

> my code

The one that is built on titanic effort of others not all of which was compensated in any way at all?

To get the developers to help write obnoxious garbage like win10 which forces users into all sorts of things they don't want?

They want an undo button? It's right under their nose: stop with the bullshit auto-update that re-enables itself, document all telemetry and make a big button to disable it.

But they don't do that, do they? Any idea why? Spoiler: it's all fake bs again, take one flashy but insignificant step forward and take 3 covert snake-like steps back.

Now they can finally begin to squeeze everything out of them. The 'extinguish' stage.

Because those requests will contain authorization? Like cookies? Am I missing something?

Can't reply to the child comment so replying here:

You just look at that shit. Look:

> We’re pleased to reach an agreement and to see continued recognition of the value of our patent portfolio, particularly as it relates to operating systems,

Nothing evil here, move along, lol. Fucking cockroaches. For a multi-billion OS giant you sure are afraid of something 'small' and produced by volunteers that gives users their freedom. What a pathetic display.

For the life of me I just can't fucking understand what did we gain from this website in this fairy tale.

Who ever thought future progress can be sacrificed just so that some obscure website (obscure because it is no longer supported, people no longer care) can work for 22 years during which the world has changed so much that this website is probably no longer relevant under any objective measure.

I mean yes, maintain SOME backward compatibility but dragging bs like typeof null === 'object' all along is just nuts.

This is a problem for people who trust MS updates. I use old (7.41) Skype on Windows 7, old (7.46) Skype on Android.

- It doesn't pull every 30 minutes, that's just wrong.

- It rings on all devices for me

- No teasing with social BS

- Button for screen sharing is one right-click away like it always was.

Take back your freedom from BS updates and you will be alright.

And if I didn't it would be empty words. You just can't win :)

No I speak Russian and English. Russian is native.

How is it self-centered though? There's not 'self' here. My profession (IT) is not the only profession that requires translations. They are required everywhere and so what I am saying is applicable everywhere. My nationality is not in question either, because I am not a native speaker. How is that self centered?

Western civilization needs to prevail somehow too, yes. The tech world is still English-first IMO and the tech drives everything else nowadays because it provides enormous advantages.
