@DroidDev I still think that the phrase "All we know is indecision" was referenced to dev clients... Eek, all the song is an allegory of the daily developer work. All goes well... until the client starts to ask change after change.

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist a colleague of mine just work for more than 11 hours daily to complete an app and after delivery client has now come back asking to remove funcitonalities because he says app is very complex, which we said when he told us to implement those.

finally there is some peace @ShadowWizard. I guess this time it will last longer

@DroidDev ? peace? where?

@DroidDev not sure, and even so, it feels like everything was for nothing

@SPArchaeologist the place where I live :)

and faaaaar from peace, it's just a cease fire

@ShadowWizard outcome of war is always same. It is always the loses to count on both sides at the end :(

@ShadowWizard well let's hope ISIS will get someone to kick their asses...

If they can really establish that state of theirs, it's goodbye to peace for a while.

Shadow Wizard

@Vogel612 actually ISIS got nothing to do with this, neither for me nor for @DroidDev. but yeah, they are real buttmen!

Vogel612

@ShadowWizard well they are relatively close to yours (seen from here)

Shadow Wizard

@Vogel612 yep but they got more important things to do before trying to take over Israel :)

Vogel612

I find it quite Ironic that they are radical muslims (Allah is the one and only god) and then name themselves after an ancient egyptian goddess..

Shadow Wizard

@Vogel612 ISIS is not a name they chose, it just stuck

Vogel612

2:50 PM

hmm in german news it's mostly: "group islamic state" now.

Shadow Wizard

Vogel612

@ShadowWizard boy (portier is the german word)

SPArchaeologist

@Vogel612 more ironic is that they are considered muslims by anyone outside their group. Wait. Nope. That's not ironic. That's just sad.

Vogel612

@SPArchaeologist enlighten me.

I know there's different kinds of muslims, but I have no clue what they are exactly..

I know they want a theocratic state...

But I am not really following closely.

@ShadowWizard exploration

SPArchaeologist

@Vogel612 I was just referencing to the fact that radicalism is more politics and less theologies that media often tell.

Vogel612

@SPArchaeologist you mean the leaders or the peasants now?

SPArchaeologist

@Vogel612 leaders. Take the above "Allah is the one and only god". While I didn't follow all the discussion so maybe I missed some pieces, I find sad that media still talks about religion when someone take the above and make it "Must kill all the infidel"

But again, hate between peoples sells, even if I don't like it.

Shadow Wizard

@Vogel612 obstacles

Vogel612

@SPArchaeologist It's accepted knowledge in the educated poluace of Germany, that the leaders are actually more politicians than preachers, but religion is a simple tool for controlling the masses

DroidDev

2:57 PM

@ShadowWizard there have been three wars since Independence in 1947

only with Pakistan

Vogel612

@ShadowWizard impediments

SPArchaeologist

@Vogel612 After all, America had the wonderful idea of the pork based ammunitions... Anyway, while I am more pastafarian oriented that else, I would say that I prefer to keep religion as something more god-related, any use of the concept for man personal benefits or interest is just a false idea. See inquisition, holy wars or other persecutions.

Vogel612

@SPArchaeologist seconding that ;)

SPArchaeologist

YAY! another hour lost because ~~Shi~~ SharePoint only consider "TRUE" as a true value for a caml property even if it explicitly allows in xml schema forms like "true" and "True".

Kudos to whoever implemented a parser whose schema defines types for "Guid with braces", "Guid with optional braces", "Guid with braces but only lowercase chars" and so on

DroidDev

@SPArchaeologist lol, almost same as android has "Assets" folder for external assets, but when try to get those in code, you have to write "getAsset", without "S" at the end.

SPArchaeologist

3:29 PM

and then randomly allowed for only one of the above

@DroidDev nope it is worst. Caml is a xml like "language" to define solution components in a declarative way. Based on the property you are setting a guid can be written as only with braces, only without braces, with or without is the same but you must non use the "-" char and so on

True is the same. Sometimes it is TRUE, some times is only True, sometimes true

and the schema intellisense/validation allows for every format.

DroidDev

lol, then kudos from me as well :D

SPArchaeologist

@DroidDev you expect anything of the above to raise an error? think again, wrong casing only make your setting ignored. Have fun understanding why.

Have to go for now, see you all later

@ShadowWizard SE is partnering or something with some online college or something , and SE is wanting 16 female developers from SO to mentor 16 new female graduates of a tech school. So the main problems people were having was the gender bias of this, and that SE was spamming meta- not using it for what it's for. meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/269992/…

@ShadowWizard That 70's Show

Shadow Wizard

8:30 PM

@iStimple I noticed this post and think it's for a good cause. It's no different than the fun events we have every year, Meta can also be used to feature such events. It's related to programming after all. :)

As for gender, they just said females will have priority, not they're looking only for females.

iStimple

@ShadowWizard have priority = bias

Shadow Wizard

@iStimple but still, for a good reason. You can understand that a male mentor might get distracted due to, well, you know.

iStimple

@ShadowWizard so should we segregate women and men in the workplace?

Shadow Wizard

@iStimple funny!

iStimple

all women have 1 woman boss and all men have 1 man boss?

Shadow Wizard

8:34 PM

@iStimple no, of course not. This is all meant to be a short termed thing without any money involved, far from being hired to work. There will be no obligations, so they try to prevent problems.

iStimple

I'm making this a bigger deal b.c of the first line of that post . "Diversity in tech has become an increasingly urgent issue" That is what the media says. Not what the facts are. It is a political policy that is discriminative of men. If it were the other way around, and 16 male graduates for 16 male mentors preferably, there would be a lawsuit.

Shadow Wizard

Anyway, got to go for a while, IMO trying to see the bad side of this won't do any good... but I assume you already know this. Let the team handle it, I'm pretty sure no lawsuits will be filed. :)
