shut the gently caress up about code formatting. this was never an interesting topic the last 500 times it was discussed, and it is still not an interesting topic

ok what�s the best blogging option in 2018? this is about shameless self promotion and not a burning passion to share my ideas with the world so im willing to pay i guess. ideally there�d be analytics i guess. not sure about comments: id guess that comments generate more traffic but it gives people an opportunity to point out how stupid i am right there in the blog, as opposed to offsite.

also people with blogs: do you think it�s helped your career much?

the controls look native to win95, maybe a little large

try setting the hbrBackground member of the WNDCLASS to
code:
(HBRUSH)(COLOR_BACKGROUND+1)
that should make the window background the native gray and give it less of a win3.1 look

yeah you also gotta get the font to be ms sans serif or w/e, not fixedsys

less poo poo to worry about is huge. even if you do want to run on your own hardware for some reason, you should probably structure it as an internal cloud so that the people developing your applications don't need to care about managing actual machines, and the people taking care of the machines don't need to care about what the developers are doing.

(if you're small enough that that sounds way too complicated for you, you should probably just be using someone else's cloud)

the hot poo poo new product our org has released is literally software to create an on-prem private cloud

unless you go hard into the types of multi access intrinsics like memory or instruction barriers or you are trying to not just get it working in assembler but get it working as fast as possible by digging into the isa farther than just how to do logic you probably won't get much out of it other than remembering some garbled letters for load double word to butthole register and fart

i'm executing that instruction right now !!!

for me most of gits shittiness comes from the fact that I have two dev machines since I work from home regularly. long lived branches can be ugly to manage if I work on them on both machines a few times.

i've gotten to the point where i push just about everything to my personal fork of the relevant repo, so syncing to another system is just a git pull

Oh I know, and I've spun up sets of .net core services in docker for my boss. He scoffed at the 175MB docker image size for a .net core image, a little. imho, that doesn't seem that bad but whatever.

the base runtime image for what i'm working on is 1GB before actually adding any apps

it's a legacy appserver but still, lol

i keep reminding myself that when you see some incredibly detailed post on SO or whatever, the person who posted it probably specializes in that thing. it's not like a generalist is expected to have that level of knowledge.

ya but the problem is when you're like me and don't have a single topic that you actually know well enough that most yosposters couldn't talk circles around you

our product's mainframe version has a control region and some servant regions in memory, that's the only time i've heard servant used
