ah yes, counting from 2, because as everyone knows "" is one

You put in that first “here” thinking it’ll be the only one.

that's always how it is.

And eventually it becomes second nature. lol

Me: “Is bugger a term that denotes a bugged state?
Senior: “No. That’s just what I have it print to show if something has failed.”

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

I like to call pair-programming sessions (for bugs) "bebuggery sessions" at work and people haven't complained yet.

Printing Butt is fun and all, but if I'm at the point of logging nonsense, it is usually a stronger word.

Damn, this looks handy. Thanks for sharing

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

My pleasure! Though I'm gonna be honest, I mostly use console.debug(). 😇

[–] lightnegative@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wow, and here I was trying to set breakpoints using the devtools debugger and faffing around with sourcemaps.

Wish I knew about this 10 years ago!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Is it too late?! Are you still webdevvving? 😃

Often we use

outline : red 1px solid;

, that's clean!

My problem is that I do red, blue, green then can't think of any more clearly visible colours.

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I often use magenta, pink, cyan and purple, too

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

Purple, yellow, pink, light blue, …

when doing headless shell scripting i debug with notify-send

i3wm having urgency cues was the single greatest thing any DE/WM has ever done.

[–] RollForInitiative@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could you please point me to docs about this or keywords i should search with? This sounds interesting, but a quick search with i3 and urgency cues gave me nothing.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

i believe they're referred to in documentation as "urgency hints" it should be in the user guide. heres the guide just do a ctrl f for urgency, it should pop some stuff up. It's also a default config option for the base file.

[–] RollForInitiative@feddit.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, i'll take a look!

the user guide while rather terse and not verbose, is still incredibly detailed, and often includes a good bit of information to get you where you need to be.
