Everytime I come back to tumblr

…I’ve fucking forgotten how to use it.  It occupies some completely confusing space between microblogging, blogging and file sharing.

It’s wordtweetdroppress.

I hope I posted this to the right place. fuckers.

It would be nice if globals, locals, and members could be syntax colored differently. That would be better than g_ and m_ prefixes.

If you having trouble naming that class…

Any time - any time - you type any remotely incorrect command, the interpreter creatively resolves it into “rm -rf /” and wipes your hard drive.

SQL && Rails == SHIT

mrbeefy: I’ve got scala 2.7.7

mrbeefy: I should get 2.8?

ldog: yeah definitely

mrbeefy: word

ldog: it’s still in RC

ldog: but way nicer

mrbeefy: are you using lift?

ldog:also they are deleting crazy shit from 2.7 going to 2.8 so might as well get ahead of the curve

ldog: no not using lift………

ldog: not sure i like it….

ldog: seems kind of too RoR….

ldog: i don’t like all that magic….

ldog: i’m using Jersey for the web thing i’m working on now with scala

ldog: it’s pretty sweet

mrbeefy: I have to say I’m not a fan of rails like shit

mrbeefy: I want to know what’s going on

mrbeefy: if I want Visual Basic I’ll just use that

mrbeefy: it’s better than them all

mrbeefy: like I know I would make better decisions than Grails re: Spring MVC

mrbeefy: and the hibernate shit will just piss the russian dbas off

ldog: yeah totally

mrbeefy: it’s like people have it cause SQL sucks

mrbeefy: just admit that and move on

mrbeefy: SQL is shitty and no amount of magic is going to unshitify it

mrbeefy: your dba will just kill you dead sooner

mrbeefy: this is an angry programmer post

ldog: yeah was thinking the same thing

it's about f'ing time

(04:56:04 PM) mrbeefy: only downside to running own blog is that they are hacker honey pots all of them
(04:56:13 PM) mrbeefy: no such thing as secure blog
(04:56:47 PM) ldog: yeah that is trye
(04:56:49 PM) ldog: true
(04:57:11 PM) mrbeefy: man I just need those spiders to come on by now
(04:57:12 PM) ldog: should implement some kind of backup mechanism
(04:57:17 PM) mrbeefy: and then I move to monaco
(04:57:26 PM) ldog: dude more content

(04:58:16 PM) mrbeefy: and saw no change in perf
(04:58:20 PM) mrbeefy: in that past
(04:58:20 PM) mrbeefy: man
(04:58:27 PM) mrbeefy: that would have cost like an hour
(04:58:34 PM) mrbeefy: before I realize I’m idiot

(04:59:06 PM) mrbeefy: seriously
(04:59:07 PM) ldog: wonder why that took so long
(04:59:10 PM) mrbeefy: only been like 10 years
(04:59:15 PM) ldog: yeah exactly
(04:59:26 PM) mrbeefy: remember you had to like wrap the fucking driver
(04:59:32 PM) mrbeefy: what a pain

(04:59:42 PM) mrbeefy: I mean I’m not doing that
(04:59:43 PM) mrbeefy: even
(04:59:44 PM) mrbeefy: ever
(04:59:47 PM) mrbeefy: fuck it

Java Logging Frameworks!!!

How many do we need already? Half an applications dependencies are logging related these days.  All this to write some characters out to a text file!!!

(12:56:59 PM) mrbeefy: yeah dude I like the deps reduction there
(12:57:09 PM) mrbeefy: when writing libraries that shit is key
(12:57:22 PM) mrbeefy: eliminate it or jar jar it
(12:57:26 PM) ldog: yeah…
(12:57:31 PM) ldog: usually i jar them in with my shit
(12:57:33 PM) mrbeefy: ruins peoples days
(12:57:35 PM) ldog: but i dunno for this
(12:57:37 PM) ldog: yeah it really does
(12:57:42 PM) ldog: difference between:
(12:57:47 PM) ldog: USING ‘java -cp ../build/contrib/hive_contrib.jar org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.mr.example.WordCountReduce’
(12:57:49 PM) ldog: and
(12:57:56 PM) mrbeefy: like fucking Checkstyle!
(12:57:58 PM) mrbeefy: OMG
(12:57:59 PM) mrbeefy: WTF
(12:58:00 PM) ldog: USING ‘java -cp ../build/contrib/hive_contrib.jar:../lib/commons-lang-2.4.jar org.apache.hadoop.hive.contrib.mr.example.WordCountReduce’
(12:58:17 PM) mrbeefy: Checkstyle has Google Collections
(12:58:19 PM) mrbeefy: wtf
(12:58:22 PM) ldog: damn
(12:58:24 PM) mrbeefy: bastards
(12:58:33 PM) ldog: dude the thing i really hate is all the fucking apache logging frameworks…
(12:58:34 PM) mrbeefy: so like we still on a 4 year old verison
(12:58:38 PM) mrbeefy: jesus
(12:58:42 PM) ldog: it’s like i want to use StringUtils but now i need commons-log, log4j
(12:58:43 PM) ldog: wtf
(12:58:43 PM) mrbeefy: tell me about it
(01:00:07 PM) mrbeefy: and wtf there’s like a new one
(01:00:12 PM) mrbeefy: slf4j
(01:00:20 PM) ldog: yeah that’s the worst one
(01:00:27 PM) mrbeefy: I mean where did that come from
(01:00:32 PM) ldog: it wants to be like a meta-logging framework
(01:00:43 PM) ldog: so you can pick another logging framework to really use underneath!
(01:00:45 PM) ldog: like WTF!!!!
(01:00:45 PM) mrbeefy: like commons-logging?
(01:00:48 PM) ldog: yeah
(01:00:51 PM) mrbeefy: jesus
