This looks amazing. Finally good documentation! I already prefer stack overflow to MSDN and other APIs.

We have three sorts of dependencies:

• "First party", ones we wrote ourselves; these live in a "shared libraries" repository which we bring in as necessary
• "Second party", which are third-party libraries that we've modified a bit.
• "Third party", which are purely third-party libraries unchanged from their distribution; these and 'second party' live in yet another repository which we check out once per developer machine, because it contains a lot of large binaries so we don't want to duplicate if you have multiple checkouts all using the same ones.

Depends on how many dependencies you have, I guess.

(is there something like bower for desktop apps these days?)

Oh my god, I just pushed out an update to one of our clients from our central code repository that we now use for all clients on our product. It worked, no modifications outside of the publish profile. Our client got brand new features and bug fixes we've been working on for other clients.

Is this...is this real life? Pinch me.

So great.

I love it when you can push out updates and no one calls you.

Then like 5 months later someone goes "hey is this button new?"

"What no, that's been there forever."

"neat!"

Jeeze our Jira sprint seems a little lopsided if you ask me:

Person 1: 6 Issues
Person 2: 1 Issues
Honky: 26 Issues
Manager: 5 Issues
Person 3: 4 Issues

Hmm

At first glance, that's... not fair.

I sense that the phrase, "No" it insufficient for your situation.

I propose that we elevate to the next level - "No, eff off" with you flipping people off.

how the fuck does someone have 1 issue assigned to them for an entire sprint

Maybe they're only part time on the project? Or maybe it's a really big issue? Or maybe honky's chronic inability to push back on anything has led to everyone just saying, "well, honky did X so he should do Y as it follows from X" and that leads to him doing everything because he did everything in the last sprint.

But who knows.

My unit tests bring all the boys to the yard.

Unfortunately, the boys are then garbage collected after the asserts.

Sweet bonus check says otherwise.

I don't even know what that means either.

How do you guys normally handle dependencies for code on a revision system?

Should I just add a 'dependency' folder and drop all the libraries in there (mostly dlls) ?

Or is it usually a separate project?

Let me tell you about Cargo.

Yay! Job offer came in.
Boo! They're 2k under what I was asking. I hate negotiating.
Yay! Recruiter is doing the legwork to bump it up to where I wanted to be.

Aaahhh, nothing like two show-stopper bugs halfway through the testing period, three days before we're supposed to ship. Makes you feel alive, you know?

i need some super extreme in depth documentation of the XLSX file format

i got my system mostly working but I discovered that sometimes Excel will decide that formulas should be (what amounts to) compressed during the save operation, and my open source parser doesn't snoop that out and unpack it.

So i have to do it. Problem is my only tools are example files and time. And I don't have much time.

I think we ended up buying a 3rd party tool because that shizzle be fizzle, yo.

Which doesn't help you in any way, sorry. =(

You'll need the Open XML specification:

And then the Microsoft extensions:

oh I could buy something, but I have to work in javascript, and I never found anything close to feature complete for JS for sale. the open source project I am using is good but a lot of critical stuff is missing because its basically just a file reader and not an actual excel engine

i've written some of this missing stuff myself... but now deadlines approach and the problems are becoming more obtuse

the most annoying part about this latest thing is that the formula compression that Excel does seems to be minorly random, it only targets SOME cells, and I cannot for the life of me conclude how it determines what it targets.

If I could nail that down, I could just modify the problem cells in the short term and worry about writing a Grand Unified Excel parser for later

Nogs

yeah, excel in browser is surprisingly difficult.

hell, it took Google Sheets YEARS to get multiselect 'Ctrl+Click' to work properly on non-adjacent cells.

EDIT: And i know microsoft's own web excel didn't support that feature at launch, and I'm betting it probably still doesn't.

Jasconius

My career for the last four years had pretty much been based on the idea that Google sheets and the ms mobile solutions are woefully feature incomplete compared to the original

I plug the gaps.

Do any CSS wizards want to explain to me why my Zurb Foundation SASS isn't applying my padding on the medium and up sizes?

#mainContent {
    @include grid-column(
        $columns: 12,
        $center: true,
        $collapse: true
    );

    @media #{$medium-up} {
        @include grid-column(
            $columns: 10,
            $center: true,
            $collapse: true
        );
    }

    background-color: white;
    padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
    border: 3px solid $lavender;
}

The code in the media queries is fine. Everything but the padding works at every size.

Oh wait, I was looking for the compiled CSS in the wrong place. Apparently, the media query compiles into the end of the selector:

#mainContent {
  padding-left: 0;
  padding-right: 0;
  width: 100%;
  float: left;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  float: none;
  background-color: white;
  padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
  border: 3px solid #c29dd0; }
  @media only screen and (min-width: 40.063em) {
    #mainContent {
      padding-left: 0;
      padding-right: 0;
      width: 83.33333%;
      float: left;
      margin-left: auto;
      margin-right: auto;
      float: none; } }

Does that mean that the best I can do in the SCSS file is:

#mainContent {
    @include grid-column(
        $columns: 12,
        $center: true,
        $collapse: true
    );

    @media #{$medium-up} {
        @include grid-column(
            $columns: 10,
            $center: true,
            $collapse: true
        );
    }
}

#mainContent {
    background-color: white;
    padding: 0.5rem 1rem;
    border: 3px solid $lavender;
}

?

Manager: Okay there will be a code freeze at the end of the day today to make sure we do full end to end testing Thursday and Friday.
Me: Got it.
Manager: So the last commit and push for any changes should be in by Noon.
Me: What? That's not the end of the day.
Manager: I'd like to test whatever changes you push before the code freeze.

I swear to God I was going to have a fight this morning.

But I was here until 8:30 last night and didn't get any sleep and hadn't had my 2nd cup of coffee.
