If any programmer tells you that you are number 1 on his life, don't trust him.. most of us start counting from zero. haha

Math teacher: 1+1=?
Me: one zero
Math teacher: wrong!
So i gived to her my calculator (in binary mode :-) )
Me: check the answer.
Math teacher: [saw 1+1=10 on calc] thinks about 10 seconds LOL then says: you calculator is broken!

New double tap anywhere on rant for ++1 is a game changer. Real cool. Great work @dfox @trogus

I see why 2 or more monitors is basically a necessity.

Unit testing, unit testing, 1-2-3. Is this thing on...?

I sometimes wonder my English is that bad ...

I reviewed a pull request. I commented on this line of code

a = getA() * -1;

saying that

"I think this logic should be in setA method instead."

When the guy asked me for the review again, the change was

- a = getA() * -1;
+ a = setA() * -1;

Trying to play that on work with my boss . 1 h to explain that to him

My team has 1-on-1 check-up meetings with our boss about once a month.

My 1-on-1 today consisted solely of him saying "So I bought a new Porsche, want to see a picture?"

It was a pretty productive meeting, if I do say so myself!

whenever my team starts on a new project we're all like "okay we're gonna have MEANINGFUL commit messages this time guys"

I commented on a rant that "devRant is anonymous" then later I get a ++ notification that @theNSA +1'd my comment.

So maybe not...

Reached 100+1 on a single rant...

Devrant raised to 150 +1's in order to receive the stress ball...

Ruby’s fanciness bit me in the butt today. It’s pretty rare, but often confusing AF when it happens.

array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
array.count +1 +2
# => 1
What the fuck?

array.count +1 +2 +3
# => 1
What the fuck?

+1 +2 +3
# => 6
Okay.

(array.count +1 +2 +3)
# => 1
What the fuck?

(7 +1 +2 +3)
# => 13
Okay...

array.count + 1 + 2 + 3
# => 13
Alright, so spaces matter here...?

((array.count) +1 +2 +3)
# => 13
But not here!? ... Oh. I think I know what’s going on.

Array#count
Returns the number of elements. If an argument is given, counts the number of elements which equal it using ==

Well fuck me.

Ruby is seeing `array.count(+1+2+3)` instead of `array.count()+1+2+3` since `+1` is a value, not an operator followed by a value as is the case with `+ 1`.

Now, why was I using +1 +2 instead of adding some spaces like I normally would? So they would match what was in the comment next to them for easier reference. Heh.

Future dev, I did this for you! So this is all your fault. :|

Thanks again devRant, @dfox and @tragus.
Those stickers are amazing.
Hope to get the stress ball one day too.
Btw @dfox what do you mean with +1’s here? 500 +1's on a single rant for a ball

Mother fucking SQL, fuck mathematicians, fuck every thing!

So let's supose we'd only need the first char of a string. Every, and I mean fucking every (php, java, javascript, ruby, python, haskell) fucking language, uses something like `substring(input, 0, 1)` as it knows the input is nothing more than a fucking array of chars, otherwise known as motherfucking String. Logically the offset for the first char is 0.

Enter SQL, there you need to put `SUBSTRING(input, 1, 1)` because fuck every one! Fucking math guys who developed relational algebra on which (most) databases are based on (I love you for it, but come on you fuckers!), Decided that the first character should be at position 1...

Fuckers

Tomorrow's my last day.
There is no exit interview scheduled. I'm not surprised, there hasn't been any 1-on-1's in about 2 years, and any feedback or complaints are never addressed.
Just need to bite my tongue for one more day.

#1 life lesson learned from coding:
Don't work on projects for the government or any authority EVER!

1. Visit the official site.
2. Browse for official tools.
3. Check the official documentation.
4. Check the Internet for other non-audiovisual sources.
5. Try making a simple application.

I'm confused, how is fixing a bug within hours a ranting material...?

It's hard to be a tester on your own system. Tsk.

*Le me posting a rant on devRant

Just checked my laptop uptime and it's been on one charge for exactly 1 month, with average use and aggressive tlp/powertop settings 😰

dfox +1'ed my very first activities (comment and rant), and I immediately thought he was half a user and half a +1 bot. You know, similar to MySpace Tom. But just now he +1'ed my comment in a rant where he also commented on.

He's real.

1 on 1 meetings with manager throughout the year

Manager: You're doing really well! Keep it up!
Me: Cool, thanks!

1 on 1 meetings with my manager a month or two ago

Manager: You're still killing it! I'd really like to see you challenge the status quo since you're the newest on the team. I think we could benefit from fresh perspective.
Me: Ok, cool, I'm starting to feel pretty comfortable so I'll do that.
Me: *starts challenging process, team structure, and company norms in meetings*
Manager: *confused pikachu face*

1 on 1 meetings now, right before performance management

Manager: I really need you to start picking up more important work. You're not performing well relative to others at your level, and I won't be able to represent you well during performance management.

Does anyone else get crippling fear anytime your boss wants a 1 on 1 meeting?

I always assume I'm getting fired and panic over it..even though so far that's never happened.

colleague 1 : hii,we need to talk.
Me: okay,what?
colleague 1 : we have issues with you.
Me : post on GitHub bro..!

In my opinion the image feature on devRant is not very user friendly. I think following points should be changed:

- In the rant preview the image has always a 1:>=1 ratio. This means that you can't see the full image unless the image has exactly a 1:1 or smaller ratio.

- To see the image in fullscreen mode you have to tap two times. In my opinion that's just too​ cumbersome. Often when i browse through devRant and i see a image i just scroll along because i don't wanna tap two times to see the image.

It's looks like this weeks "Weekly Group Rant" is trolling all the developers who have side projects that never finished.

1. CMS like WordPress
2. MVC framework like Laravel
3. Android App like Tinder

Yesterday hr called me for a meeting 1 on 1 that lasted for over 1 hour.

Me: i work on my side project when i get home every day

Hr: ohhh.. so you do have time to work on another project aside from ours?

Me: what? I said i work at my project after work when i come hom-

Hr: so you have that much free tim ok how about this. Would you like to work on another project for our clients? So you'd be working on 2 projects-

Me: ...

Hr: one day you work on this primary project the next day you work on the secondary project

I just found something cool on accident.

Assuming you start the fibonacci sequence on 2, you can find any of the fibonacci numbers for a given index with a simple trick:

Let Phi = 1.618
Let your index n = n+1

Floor(phi**(n+1+0.328))+1 = the fibonacci number at index n in the sequence.

This probably breaks down past some point but its nifty.

I'm sitting here at 1 am working on a side project. There's, literally, a bug in my code. It's bed time.

Step 1: Make an account on some website with the username "{username}"
Step 2 : Take a screenshot when the website sends you some kind of personalised email
Step 3 : Add some caption saying "lol this website is so broken!!1!1!!"
Step 4 : ???
Step 5 : profit

Tomorrow I'll finally start working on a new part of my company's current project from scratch after loads of frustration in the past 1 1/2 months! Not a rant, just a lil bit of hope that it'll get better :)

Meanwhile I reach 175 +1's I'm playing with my own custom stress ball with a bash fork bomb on it :]

How triggered are you?

On a scale of 1 to 47

Why can't meeting organizer enforce time schedule, especially ending?

It's pretty much normal to stay 1,5 hour on 1 hour meeting.

1. Gets paid based on time.
2. Gets paid based on the results.
Which one are u?

Two notable things happened to me today on devRant:
1. I accidentally +1'd a random rant. I feel rude to undo it.
2. I accidentally reported a random comment. I feel stupid for having done such thing.

Now I'm expecting to get a notification saying It wasn't worth reporting :/

1. Do you work on the weekends?
2. Are you getting paid for it?

*1 hour passes*
Me: adds new code

*1 day passes*
Me: Why did it work?

*some random weekend*
On call developer: Who fucking wrote this code!

1. "Who the fuck added that line of code?, why oh why?!??"
2. $ svn blame file
3. "Oh... It was me, carry on"

Almost done with my stickers on my new laptop, ordered the $1 unixstickers pack and will use them soon \o/

C'mon CBA, get it together. If today is Friday and something happened on Thursday (AKA yesterday) that's "1 day ago". It is known!

On a scale from 1-100,where do yau rate your programming skills??! Im at 67, maybe

Hej @dfox why the rant feed on the web (devrant.io/feed) is still stuck with the +1 instead of ++? ;)

On a scale of 1-10 I deem this... Useless

so uhh, i asked a question on the crypto stack exchange, and it got -1 score, but 1 favorite.

🤔

How did you spend your weekend?

- 1 day wasted on trying to configure a project

- 1 day spent on formatting documentation ( including changelogs & mailing archives, project started in 1987? The repo still has files that were last updated 26 years ago )

Wasted 2 days working on an obj (3d model) exporter….messed up meshes … missing faces … despair build after build …

And then the realization: Vertices in obj are 1-indexed.
…
..

FUCK
nobody learned anything from the array start at 1 meme

We had a 1 hour meeting to plan a 1 hour meeting...

"Sweet, I fixed story 1 and can commit! ...but issue 2 is pretty small, let me just work on that first so there's 1 pull request".

4 hours later, issue 2 not done yet, and I can't push push story 1 to QA until I finish it. I really need to stop doing that.

A personal sad short story:

Pull request opened on 20 November 2020.

How hard can it be to make a calculator app. Apparently Microsoft cannot get it right. You might say hey, but it works already. No it does not. See in math 1-(-1)=2 because the double minus sign cancel each other and turn into a plus. Well the w10 calculator app, just does 1-1=0 and show that this is the result. Yes this is the result of one minus one. This is not the result of one minus minus one. This is basic math .... Stop focusing on the interface and code the base right Microsoft.

Hopefully I start working on Tuesday.

When we subtract some number m from another number n, we are essentially creating a relationship between n and m such that whatever the difference is, can be treated as a 'local identity' (relative value of '1') for n, and the base then becomes '(base n/(n-m))%1' (the floating point component).

for example, take any number, say 512
697/(697-512)
3.7675675675675677

here, 697 is a partial multiple of our new value of '1' whose actual value is the difference (697-512) 185 in base 10. proper multiples on this example number line, based on natural numbers, would be
185*1,
185*2
185*3, etc

The translation factor between these number lines becomes

0.7675675675675677

multiplying any base 10 number by this, puts it on the 1:185 integer line.

Once on a number line other than 1:10, you must multiply by the multiplicative identity of the new number line (185 in the case of 1:185), to get integers on the 1:10 integer line back out.

185*0.7675675675675677 for example gives us

185*0.7675675675675677
142.000000000000

This value, pulled from our example, would be 'zero' on the line.

185 becomes the 'multiplicative' identity of the 1:185 line. And 142 becomes the additive identity.

Incidentally the proof of this is trivial to see just by example. if 185 is the multiplicative identity of 697-512, and and 142 is the additive identity of number line 1:185

then any number '1', or k=some integer, (185*(k+0.7675675675675677))%185
should equal 142.

because on the 1:10 number line, any number n%1 == 0

We can start to think of the difference of any two integers n, as the multiplicative identity of a new number line, and the floating point component of quotient of any number n to the difference of any number n-m, as the additive identity.

let n =697
let m = 185
n-m == '1' (for the 1:185 line)

(n-m) * ((n/(n-m))%1) == '0'

As we can see just like on the integer number line, n%1 == 0
or in the case of 1:185, it equals 142, our additive identity.

And now, the purpose of this long convoluted post: all so I could bait people into reading a rant on division by zero.

On top of having a good day, aka I didn't spend hours on 1 bug as usual... my devRant stickers made it! Thanks @dfox & Tim :)

My roommate is a hardcore apple fan boy. Me and my other roommate use windows so we actually installed windows on his Mac.

He later passed out.........

1 like = 1 prayer.

I did npm install 1 hr ago. It's still on 70%

2 interviews today, 2 tomorrow and 1 on Friday.
I've only been put on gardening leave on Monday. Things are going well.

Tonight's checklist:
1. Study a chapter in ISLR
2. Try to understand source code of an open source project in GoLang.
3. Complete programming challenges on HackerRank

What I am going to end up doing:
1. Watching videos of The Rock trolling others.
2. Watch Family Guy

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much motivated are you into doing whatever you're doing right now?

Works on my machine. So +1 ing in comment description.

Somewhere on upwork post online.
1. Require backend architecting done for Twitter like app. <more details on app >
2. Client budget: fixed price, 200$

Finally installed iOS 10 Beta 1 on my iPad.
I will say this, Swift Playgrounds is a lot of fun!

· 10 sales on Play Store
· 1 star review because "good app, but doesn't have that particular function"
· 0 sales on Play Store

If I only had a dollar for everyone that comments on my rant, but doesn't +1 it, I'd be one wealthy individual.

Setting up nextcloud on a raspberry pi taught me more than 1 semester of networks/system administration course in university. This is sad.

Any formula 1 fans here on devRant?

On a good day for me as an SE, the ratio of solving problems to causing problems is close to 1:1

1. Write a Go Application
2. Rant encountered problems on building the application

Whenever I hear "this <person> is going to work on <project>" I edit my "bus factor of 1" wiki page.

Teams work on projects. People work on teams.

The +1 was not changed to ++ on the notification menu. @dfox @trogus

Wow 24++ 1's. Thanks to all my friends on devRant!

When you keep on refreshing the tab to see if your pull request got merged but it still says
”Pull requests 1”

Fun one on the subway:

Make a little prompt script for your phone or computer

>welcome to Washington, D. C., Mr. Davis
>what would you like to view?
>1-traffic lights
>2-subway
>3-mainframe
3
>Subway Control
>1-emergency shutdown
>2-accelerate line
>3-shutdown line

Interact with script while on subway, watch reactions. Wearing dark glasses also helps.

Only 1 Redbull on your avatar desk is inaccurate. Please add a desk item for your avatar that has multiple Redbulls.

Please.

Dev boy to Dev girl: "What's the time complexity on you loving me, baby?"

Dev girl: while(iExist){
Int n = Random.Next(1, 100);

Just realized that I have missed my 1 year anniversary on DevRant...
Maybe next year

I wish multiple notifications would just be condensed into one on my phone... The notification menu gets cluttered by the separate replies and ++s.

Maybe instead have something like "devRant: 2 replies, 1 mention, 1 ++"?

Why did it take years before someone told me to add this to your bash script to see the line on which a command failed?

errorOnLine() { echo "Line $1 had an error" ; exit 1 ; }
trap 'errorOnLine $LINENO' ERR

Step 1. Estimate a time based on previous experience working as a professional and qualified developer.

Step 2. Wrong

Quad Booting my laptop with Manjaro-KDE . Let's see how this one turns out.
This is my third Linux distro after Ubuntu and Fedora.
Been using Ubuntu from past 2 years.

Hoping to move on to Arch in next 6 months if I like Manjaro

Currently I have 1 Windows, 1 Ubuntu, 1 Kubuntu and now a Manjaro
