Mkay. Let's talk about Luigi Mangione.

Hero or terrorist?

He was one of us, like it or not.

Jestdottii is a hottii.

I miss being a real C++ programmer. Gonna have to make something over Christmas.

I forgot again that android notifications don't work anymore in this app and so I haven't been here in a while, went through 2 months worth of notifications, will probably forget again this platform exists lol

Also side note, the hell happen to retoor and why is there so many of her?

Just built in half a day a OpcUA data logger with Grafana, InfluxDB and Telegraf. The same functionality was developped over like 4 years in house. Mostly because no one here is from IT but from OT (operational technology).

Do you watch stuff in fast motion? What kind of monsters are doing that? My best friend was doing it, and now turns out my wife is like that as well.

Why would you watch something in x2. I swear young people don't have any respect for the present moment. Everything have to be rushed, finish early. Would you listen to music in x2 speed so you can finish the song earlier?

I don't get it

wtf I am in shock but also validated

so apparently culture evolves

millennials now are the loser generation because they went to school and got degrees and were good little gremlins that kept their head down and budgeted and did everything right

and now they're like the laughingstock and viewed as more boomer than those boomers jokes we used to make

wiiiild

my mom would pressure me for school and I never agreed to people's 9 to 5 nonsense and the whole thing just felt wrong to me. so all this time I've been avoiding all that and felt "wrong" for society and kept it to myself but now the pervading culture agrees with me. whoa

I did not expect this. I thought culture was static somehow and people never learned. I've never seen culture change their minds en mass so I didn't know this was possible. wild

Probably not the right category but idgaf.

Can't keep up with the bot drama and something to do with sid.

Can someone give me a primer?

Ahh yes devRant, where most of my enemies live. Featuring the list:

fullstackcircus
shovethisrant
Nanos (should I say ex-Nanos?)
kanyewest
JestDotty
awesomeest
netikras (apparently?)
jAsE

And the last is retoor? which is funny cuz I don't even know who she is.

Thanks for the hate guys, it keeps me going.

I still have like, 4 working days left but my manager is on holiday from today so as far as I'm concerned, so am I.

Some people wanted to download their rants / comments. I'm working on it.

Three lines of native python code (no dependencies) to see what @Lensflare said:

from pprint import pp
from xmlrpc.client import ServerProxy
pp(ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc").get_comments({'id':{'gt':42},'_limit':1337,'username':'Lensflare'}))

I think this gives example of possibilities enough. Use your fantasy on how to retrieve rants.

Limitations:
- Not whole dR is available yet, but way more than retrievable using the public dR API. This system uses the user website as source.
- It doesn't show rant_id or comment_id and it won't to prevent abuse. Later today, there will be away to attach rants comments.
- maximum 2500 record limit. But soon you can get comments for every rant per user. You won't reach this limit in normal usage

Have fun with it! Don't worry about the abusing the API. Everything is allowed. It's fast as F. If it doesn't respond - it wasn't you. I work on it and often reboot services and it takes some time to recover to state.

If you're not familiar with python, that's ok. Check if you're a decent dev and have python or python3 on your computer. Just execute it and paste the lines. Other way is to save these three limes to a file ending with .py and execute python3 [your-file].

Another example for people not used to python:
from pprint import pprint as pp # nice printing of values
client = ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc")
comments = client.get_comments({'_limit':1337})
for comment in comments:
if comment.get('username','default username') == 'kiki':
print(comment.get('body'))
pp(comment)

Happy hacking!

when your IDE has so much funding and idle hands they make GUI facades over terminal functionalities

but then over time they keep releasing "features" for convenience that entirely make the GUI unusable

what's even the point guys

anti features

Sid is retoorded

Any web devs who started their own website building and SEO company for small businesses? Need your valuable advice on what platform to use and depending on use cases - wix, squarespace, any others or custom (angular/react).

How do I increase my communication?

I feel more confident and less anxious now thanks to exercising more, so it's easier to talk to people.

But I'm told not talking to people, just coming in doing your work and leaving is bad by my boss.

I'm not sure how I can just approach people and talk shit. I guess I have to start with lunch. How do I find people to each lunch with?

How long before game UI/HUDs will be implemented using HTML/electron/some other shiny web tech to make cross-platform easier? As cursed as it is, it really it's one of the few “complete” packages when it comes to dealing with UI that I'm aware of

New baby girl 🥰

Worryingly, at 4:04pm.

I have a score difference of two in two posts after eachother on the same page. This is how it must feels to win a lottery without gaining smth. I should buy a ticket. The odds are with me.

Just found out this life hack

When people like you; Problems get easier, Job gets easier, life gets easier, everything becomes easier...

So...

Be nice to people

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When trees die, they release every molecule of CO2 they ever consumed back into the atmosphere. Planting trees won’t solve anything in the long run. It can only ever give us mere 70 years. If we don’t destroy ourselves/the planet earlier that is.
