| [marto] | morning all |
| [Corion] | Hi marto :) |
| [Corion] | Surprisingly, I fixed an error in Dancer - the issue that annoyed me long-time. Also, my "web chat client" progresses nicely. It'll be a horrible mess, as the server sends HTML fragments to the thin client, but so far it seems fun :) |
| [marto] | interesting, I saw a SawyedX video 'CGI.pm must die'. I must take thr time to look at Dancer |
| [Lady_Aleena] | Hello... |
| [Corion] | marto: I recommend also looking at Mojolicious - at least, I'm already at corners of Dancer where I've found limits, like streaming responses |
| [Corion] | I haven't looked at Dancer2, but I fear it suffers second system syndrome... |
| [Corion] | Also, I'm sad about the demise of news.ycombinator.com - it now has basically no thoughtful articles, and only lacks the image posts of Reddit... |
| [Lady_Aleena] | Lady_Aleena is upset because her Twitter scripts seem to be failing her, or she is getting bad data returned. |
| [Lady_Aleena] | Do your users a favor, never ever ever change any APIs you write. |
| [Corion] | With Twitter, I would bet equally on both :) |
| [Lady_Aleena] | I have a bad feeling I will have to start from scratch on everything I've written for maintaining my Twitter accounts. |
| [Corion] | Keep a backup of the old stuff, but starting from scratch is educative for hobby projects. You don't have to live with your old errors and can find new ways to make errors :) |
| [marto] | yeah, we've talked version control before |
| [Lady_Aleena] | With Twitter changing their API, I've already rewritten several areas of my scripts. I'm feeling a bit defeatist right now. |
| [marto] | grr, Nintendo and your 'security' screws |
| [Lady_Aleena] | marto, some have said since I work alone, I don't need version control. |
| [Corion] | Lady_Aleena: I recommend it, even when working alone, because it makes it easier to rip out large sections of code, and afterwards go back to what (you thought) was working. |
| [marto] | with version control you can easily find what you've changed between versions, very useful when things "stop working". |
| [Lady_Aleena] | Also, I still haven't found a version control system which can integrate into any text editor where <save> is the way to save the documnent and update the versions. |
| [marto] | IIRC you were not keen on git because there wasn't a way to use it within Notepad++. You probably wouldn't want to commit every file save to version control. They're two different concepts |
| [Lady_Aleena] | It would be nice if there were a save and commit function. |
| [Lady_Aleena] | Also, since I used to edit Wikipedia, I'm used to seeing "commits" for minor things like adding a comma to a sentence. |
| [marto] | at the time I showed you the first hit on Google: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1358320/all |
| [Lady_Aleena] | I may dive into version control once I migrate over to Linux. I have less than a year to do so. |
| [Lady_Aleena] | For now I'm hoping Twitter is sending me bad data instead of there being a problem with my code. |
