But in the interim, breaking news:<br /><br />The latest Windows updates mean that the Windows mechanism for editing environment variables no longer sucks. <br /><br />This is very exciting. <br /><br />If you're me. <br /><br />Everyone else, move along now :)<br /><br />(Also, right-click seems to work as paste in a <strike>DOS box</strike> command prompt, which is useful but unexpected. Having spent so long being annoyed that it didn't do that, I'm constantly thrown when it does.)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=venta&ditemid=532267" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2017-01-02:2703341:529680 2017-06-15T12:44:43Z 2017-06-15T12:45:37Z public 3 Today, I am supposed to be reviewing a colleague's pull request[*]. Multiple thousands of lines of Node.js and extremely Promise-heavy Javascript.<br /><br />I don't really know Javascript. I've never used Node. I haven't done any aysnc programming in about 15 years. So when I say "reviewing", I really mean "learning a bunch of stuff from scratch in the hope of having the least clue what it's all about". <br /><br />And the worst part? Earwormed by bloody <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9VrSxpSuVg">Big Fun</a> :(<br /><br />[*] A "pull request" is some quantity of new computer code, which someone has submitted for potential inclusion in our Grand Bucket o' Code.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=venta&ditemid=529680" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
