All I see is blonde, brunette, redhead. Hey uh, you want a drink?

You don’t even need to make public yourself. City governments do it automatically, mostly if you’re a home owner. Other companies do it because they keep getting hacked.

Try it.

Go to your favorite search engine and type in your phone number (format it to look like a phone number). If you haven’t already gone through and had yourself removed from these types of sites, you’ll be appalled at what you find.

Fair point about not knowing McAfee if involved. But at the same time, it beats having your dev getting phone calls at all hours because McAfee’s devs were to lazy to ready the source file and learn how to change the freaking prefix of the file.

How is that irrelevant? The folder is literally called Temp. Doesn’t matter anything else. You said, and I quote, “The kinds of people who need this message, you would have lost the second you said “temp files”.”

Obviously not sure, given where the files were located. 🤦‍♂️

And of course they didn’t know what the files were for; probably why they went searching for it, and eventually found the contact info for Richard Hipp.

Me thinks you just want to shit on people for no other reason than to make yourself feel superior to them. 👏 Congrats!

You do realize that these people were looking up contact info from a company they found because they were … wait for it … looking at files inside the temp folder … otherwise known as … are you sitting down? You really should sit for this … temp files!

Imaging that. 😳 🤣

By the way, I worked technical support for my local dialup ISP, Adobe, Best Buy (before they were called Geek Squad), and OnStar.

But sure, what you said… 😉

If that information said something like “McAfee users concerned about temp files, call (800) 123-4567”, then yes. Did I suggest anything more than that? No. 🙄

Hm. The first hit on DuckDuckGo is a single entry for a guy and all it says is Contact the Business Inquiries.

You would think a better solution to this problem would be to put a message on that page stating that if you’re a McAfee user looking for information about SQLite files in your temp folder, to call the McAfee support line.

But hey what do I know, right?

Not true. Look up the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by the EEOC. Here, I’ll do it for you. But if I am mistaken, I’d love to know where it defines the vision criteria for exclusion.

Actually, when I was looking it up, it sounds like you’re talking about being considered legally blind and qualifying for Social Security disability benefits, which is not the same as being protected under the ADA.

You’re right. I made an assumption about where she lives. I shouldn’t have, but I did. The advice about talking to a lawyer to know her rights, though, is universal regardless of where she lives. So I still stand by my statements.

According to the EEOC, it’s a disability:

A vision impairment does not need to “prevent, or significantly or severely restrict,” an individual’s ability to see in order to be a disability, as long as the individual’s vision is substantially limited when compared to the vision of most people in the general population.

And it sounds like her employer is doing the right thing. But if ever she feels she is not being treated fairly, she should talk to a lawyer to be sure. Don’t just let it slide because she has one good eye. Hell it might be good to talk to a lawyer anyway, so she knows what to look out for in the future if things happen to change.

Ignoring the fact that a lot of languages, and database systems, do not support generics (but do already support null), you’ve just introduced a more complex type of null value; you’re simply slapping some lipstick on it. 😊

I’m probably going to get a lot of hate for this, and I do recognize there have been problems with it all over the place (my code too), but I like null. I don’t like how it fucks everything up. But from a data standpoint, how else are you going to treat uninitialized data, or data with no value? Some people might initialize an empty string, but to me that’s a valid value in some cases. Same for using -1 or zero for numbers. There are cases where those values are valid. It’s like using 1 for true, and zero for false.

Whomever came up with the null coalescing operator (??) and optional chaining (?->) are making strides with handling null more elegantly.

I’m more curious why JavaScript has both null and undefined, and of course NaN. Now THAT is fucked up. Make it make sense.

You obviously don’t suffer from a sensitive circadian rhythm. To that I’d say, lucky you. But there are plenty of people who do suffer. And by the time they finally get used to the time change, it’s time to change again. It’s vicious and disruptive; to more than just scheduling. It has a direct (negative) impact on physical and mental health.

Is this something that is going to be publicly available? If so, post a link when you have it.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Don’t tell my bosses that. Or the PHP community as a whole for that matter. Then I might have to get a real job.

PHP is old

Same age as Ruby, Java and JavaScript, but younger than Python, C, and C++. 😛

This person Javas…

Let’s see, I’m on lemmy.world: /etc/passwd

Heathen! You must alphabetize all the things!

Like seriously. It makes scanning code much easier.
