There's a meowing duck hidden in Amazon's html code

I added a “shake-to-snow” hidden feature to an iOS app that worked only on December 25th. You’d shake your iPhone or iPad and the entire screen would start snowing for 10 seconds.

.ninja {

My friend is a css guy and he told me this

.illuminati {

One of my teacher liked this tweet

I'm wondering if it is a hidden message for some of our teachers 🤔

How to hide your important files from people without making Hidden folders

Now, no one will open internet explorer :D

I have my own secret script hidden in a /batcave dir on the production servers. It fixes everything the other devs usually manage to screw up.
I call it Batman.bat

I need that stress ball. Therefore desperate times call for desperate measures:

Do you ever wonder why the UK public sector has such a bad computer system? This! This is why!!! What a frigging waste of money!!!! Every computer in the school has this stupid set up!!!

Yes, Github, please load those 0 conversations that you've hidden.

My teammates are working on a legacy codebase so shitty awful, so poorly written, so full of pitfalls, hidden information and intricate relationships, they gave a name to their development style:

Some dumb puns to cheer you up after reading/ranting about "part of your workflow you dislike"

.ikea {

#bigbang::before {

.illuminati {

I'd rate these horrible puns a C++

Just noticed you can ++ a rant by double tabbing it. Nice hidden feature :)

So. My grandma (280 km away) gave me a call.
Grandma: "Hiii. I have a problem with my PC."
Me thinking "ok. Just an ordinary tech support call from granny..."
Me: "Ok. What's the issue?"
Grandma: "Windows tells me there is no space left on drive F, non-stop"
Me: "As far as I know there is no drive F on your PC"
Grandma: "Would you be so kind to have a look?"

I agreed to log on via team viewer.

To cut an already long story short, there was this April Update which sent a bug all around the globe.

This bug exposed an internal drive Windows uses to do its Windows stuff - whatever it is.

Regularly these kind of drives are hidden from users eyes...

I finally solved it by applying a rollback on Windows.
The update is gone and with the next update there will be a fix from May to hide this drives again.

Microsoft!
I do you scare grandparents all around the globe?!??

I'm not sure how many people on here would care about this since it's not strictly a dev issue, but just thought I'd let everyone know, iOS default apps can now be deleted on iOS 10

Placed a hidden flying unicorn as easteregg in our last business app. My boss stumbled across it and told me: "make it that all users can see it more easily without using the secret gesture."

...but ..it's an easteregg! .. :facepalm:

Today I navigate the devRant oceans for the 157,680,000 second.

Who knew this place would be still pumping some of the greatest devs I've come to appreciate so many years later, it's not the vibrant place it once was, but it's still full of hidden gems.

When a website enforces "overflow: hidden" on all content elements, so you hit them with the good ol'

for(let e of document.querySelectorAll("*")) {
e.style.overflow = "scroll";
}

On Saturday's I volunteer at this place where I teach/tutor kids how to program. I was sitting down with this kid and helping him when I found this pleasant surprise hidden in his code-

[go to my other rant for pt.2]

I love this kind of hidden messages

Joke or... :D

Facebook be like,
"We have a TOR-Hidden-Service, but you have to give us your phone-number and a picture of your face, if you want to use your account for more than two days."

Do u see anything in this pic ?
They say they can but i see nothing :/

My home desk, hidden in the corner of my living room.

Update:

I disabled every google app on my phone, installed duckduckgo and apptoide an am routing everything through tor... Yay.

are there any hidden googlemapps that still tryna get my data?

Next step : block any google services. How to do that?

I'll never be impressed with technology until Android soft keyboard gets hidden when tapped outside an EditText

Ohe yeah, this is actual window size it opened itself in.. the picture is not cropped.. only magnified when uploaded..

So I just discovered that MS Office has a dark theme...

I think I'm already blind. Or the liquor ate a chunk of my brain cells.

I just realized that devRant web version has different accent colours based on avatar's bg colour.

Earlier I realized I have disabled show hidden files feature on my file manager and thought there was no .htaccess file.

Senior dev: No... We don't want to use any other languages except JavaScript.

Am I the only one who's noticed that recently ever innovation out there would appear to be along the following lines "We/'ve added our product to the Internet of Things and have integrated Machine Learning to improve our product, why? Well for literally absolutely no fucking reason, it/'s a toilet brush"

I just found the hidden message from robots in FireFox 😂

"SoapUI is such stable and pleasant to use on Windows"

So what was originally some issue for my dual booting laptop has turned into something awesome, originally I'd boot and get into grub and choose windows or mint but with a need to get bluetooth to work I went to check some settings in the bios and after no changes I left to reboot and use mint.

Anyways it would only boot to Windows and I got a little annoyed but was able to, with the boot order changer, load up grub.

So now my laptop has a hidden boot option into mint :D thought it was a neat little feature (because I don't know how to fix it lol), completely hidden from my windows partition (unless you check disk manager).

Fuck you BT, charge me £80 for phone and internet, then only give me 50% of your advertised speeds that cuts out at random points then when I complain tell me you'll look into it but if you find any issues within my property I have to pay for the fixing of all issues with my line inside and outside the property not to mention the over £100 call out fucking cost!!! Plus you were fucking charging me £6.99 a month for BT fucking Sport that I don't watch and that I was told on 3 occasions was fucking free for the last 3 years!!! Again I will reiterate FUCK YOU BRITISH TELECOMS

There's nothing like cleaning out a cupboard of stuff you have long since moved on from only to find this hidden in the corner.

I once had a Mac, it's still a piece of shit and I'm not convinced Apple ever made life easier to use one of these 😅

In my first android app I used multiple hidden layouts instead of creating new activities... 🙈

Sooo, I just heard yesterday that Apple is setting up a new data centre near me in the next 5-8 years, but they need to build a power transformer first. Me thinks that should be enough time for a degree and some work experience before applying for a job there

You think HTML isn't a programming language? Tell that to the guy wrote js to check if a hidden div contained the word True inside its tag before it fired.

Maybe I should request a feature where rants are auto hidden after read.

🤔

fuck this shit bad ass error!

Oddly satisfying DevRant +1's

"All test passed"

But the bug is still there

Apple really needs to add a "Deceased" tag to its facial recognition system, I just had a "memory" appear with a full 1:30 minute long video of my Grandmother who passed away earlier this year with "extreme" music in the background

It was Adblock Plus that was making my Firefox Android terribly slow.
Just realized it after cursing 🔥Firefox for months.

Added new hidden function in my service: If you don't reply with "thanks" after I send you requested data, I will not reply to your requests for 15 minutes.

Shameless hack? Using overflow hidden to show content that is hidden.

So I just recently joined stackoverflow. Spent some time time and decided I should log out considering I logged in at work. Could not find the fucking logout/sign out button. Even after googling. Had to go to the source code and find the logout link which is hidden in the page.

Looks like it's the new vim.

Training model for 3 days now. Turns out there is a hidden

Unrelated to programming but anyways: It’s great how you can go on a date with someone, message them a bit after that you enjoyed it, have them respond they enjoyed it to and then when you ask if they would like to do something again at some stage they read and don’t reply 🙃 Even a firm no would have been nice

I have a mate who downloaded encryption software that he somehow managed to use to encrypt almost every system file in windows, now the entire thing is fucked, like how can anyone be that stupid?

What the fuck, accessed it via hidden release page now, but why the fuck would I need to create a fucking account just to download it, fucking lunatics.

Mom !! The shark is chewing the cables again !!

Can I just say fuck Xcode? How the fuck have I been working on an app for over 3 hours and only now when I do the first compile do you feel like showing me an "Internal Error" message which has caused all of the buttons, labels, text and just objects in general to disappear

This UI when I click on an Amazon link on my Android 7.1.2. "Welcome back to Android Gingerbread !"

It’s great how HR tells you to report to work on your first day to your line manager, but also tells you to attend training in another country before you start working, BUT they don’t tell you when the training is, how stuff will be paid for, or how to contact anyone in the company to find this info out

Whoa, how did I miss the hidden search function?

I am realizing that "We will tell you about the results next week" means "YOU should contact us next week to prove your interest" in the HR language.

What else is there that is subtle and hidden during interviews?

Was talking to a cousin of mine who's a priest and who spent 10 years in the Vatican, apparently they have 2-3 servers devoted specifically to acting as a firewall processing the data coming in and out of its network and it's a continuous stream of people trying to hack it, like think it would be pretty cool to see what way they have to whole thing set up, might see if he could take me on a tour (might even get a look at the private archives, though apparently it's mainly boring letters about popes meeting their mother and stuff

I'm performing a pentest for my client.
So after scanning my client's network I understood they're using IIS 4.5 and windows server 2012 (or 2012 R2)
I know the systems are real old.
And there are known exploits for them.

The tricky part is I have to stay hidden and I only have my own credentials for logging in to the asp page. (Uploading a script is almost crossed cuz it will reveal my identity)
Also I have access to the local network with some of the other employees user/pass.

Any recommendation for exploiting and staying hidden at the same time ?

One more question : will exploits for newer versions work for the older ones necessarily?

Spotify app for Android got an update. In the old version, there was a dedicated button to show the queue so you could reorder it. Now, it's hidden in a menu and takes 2 clicks to see you queue. What the fuck guys.

Inspecting Facebook source code using React extension & the source has so many things hidden in it.

Eg: Ad breaks!

Guys, just a quick update on the ability to delete default apps on iOS 10 since Apple is not saying much, I've just deleted all the defaults and gained around 0.38GB in total, it would appear that some of the Apps aren't in fact deleted but are just hidden from the home screen (which would explain the lack of a size being given on the App Store)

Checking for a hardcoded password and submitting User and password in a hidden Input each time.

I'm sorry I know this isn't related in any way to deving but honestly I am shitting a brick over this referendum, I am fairly fucked if we leave

Second fecking time since January, I thought these things were meant to be "low maintenance"! (Though in fairness this time is sort of my fault, I may have accidentally edited the MacOS Python files instead of the downloaded ones)

I am never watching Black Mirror again, getting the viewer to empathise and feel sorry for someone then at the last second going "oh aye he's a pedo" is fucked up man, fucked up

Not have privileges in prod database, so i have to create a simple 'hidden API func' in the backend of apps that i develop, so it can receive raw query and give response for the results, the REST API is (/getReport). Still Works :/

Forbidden hidden military 🅱️epis palace in Russia. I’m not even joking

Hey fastlane!

Great tool and all, but your documentation is at 🤡 levels, I need to read 20+ pages to get a full overview and understanding. So far I've had to read a dozen plus blogs and stackoverflow posts to find hidden flows (authentication first to do this, etc. etc. etc.)

Don't market your tool as "reducing complexity & saving time" and showing one-liners in the docs when in reality there are lots of hidden steps and NOT one-liners!!!!!!

This is why everyone complains it takes 1-2 days to just get a freaking pipeline working!!!!🤡

Can you imagine 24h without internet everywhere in the world ?

Sooooooo…. The other day I committed a change with this message:

“Committing the ultimate sin in committing secret keys again however this repo is and will always be private and my pis will be hidden on my network so it shouuuuuuld be fine... right...”

wtf. i created my bogus xing account with a google account to view information hidden without having a xing account.

now these fuckers want me to enter a password to delete my account although i don't have one as i created the account with my google account.

I found a hidden feature...

Learning AWS, and it took me 2 hours to figure out that I can't connect to my database because I forgot to press the button to allow public access

I partially blame amazon, because a button that important shouldn't be so small and hidden, but I'm still an idiot

I've disabled automatic updates on windows 10 long time back. Still they download and updates every time.

Do they have some hidden settings that only can be disabled by a non-linux user?

Quick question since I'm trying to prove a point here, is a DDOS attack hacking?

One of my colleague keeped his docking station's cables in a big mess. So I pulled out the mouse and inserted another cable from a hidden mouse.

Apple, next time you want to get me to upgrade my file system, please FUCKING TELL ME IT WONT LET ME INSTALL WINDOWS USING BOOTCAMP, 9 hours and I’ve only just found the file system that will let me run Adobe Cloud and Windows

Stackoverflow is full of pedantic cunts who can’t admit they don’t know how to answer your question, I just spent 20 minutes having 4 people tell me because they didn’t have “the full code” they couldn’t help with the problem, despite by the end of me posting more and more (completely unrelated) code they were LITERALLY complaining because I hadn’t added fucking “#include” statements 😑

Guys I think that we have the first bit of evidence that Siri is coming to the Mac

At some point someone in Apple will realise literally nobody listens to 5 and a half hours of audiobook at once and that they need a way of bookmarking a certain time in it

A hidden page that you enter a user name and it displays the encrypted and unencrypted versions of their password... It was quickly deleted after I stumbled across it. I assume it was to test a homemade encryption algorithm that wasn't worth much anyway, passwords shouldn't be reversible

Fun idea;

Who else thinks @dfox should release a version of devrant for Easter with Easter egg codes for free/discounted swag hidden all over the app?

Busy trying to rewrite company website, I'm a desktop developer. I'm ashamed to say I used the following

So Nokia's Here maps is apparently still a thing

I quite like devRant's "discussion" tab. It's a shame it's hidden away in the overflow menu (at least on android).

Just out of curiosity how many different countries are on this? Could you comment below? (And please for the love of god don't ++ this, save your upvotes for someone who deserves them, like that dude with the percentage happiness table)

Hidden pixel just scratched my finger while I was wiping the screen with my palm. Lesson successfully learned.

What's your experience with continuous delivery? On every push to the master, the complete current codebase goes to production.
Of course not visible to all the users, but hidden behind feature flags.

Hidden services are extremely cool.

Not having to pay for the "domain" is also really nice.

I learned you can access developer options on Android by tapping your build number in the information settings, it gives you a little notification and reveals the secrets hidden from the average user. It's neat, I like it, you should see if it helps you in any way If you use Android.

Great how I’ve just started a new job, haven’t been given all the licenses I need to run the software, there are multiple products with little to no documentation (and by none I mean the word “Architecture” is all there is in one of the main products ReadMe file) and I’ve a year of this! How is a company that’s this big not in any way documented like! This is gonna be long 😑

After 10 years of living a developers life, nowadays if someone appreciates my work, I look for sarcasm or hidden motive in it.

Why appreciate me, I'm anyways expected to do a great job.

2 hours wasted on stopping a page from scrolling a bit, the missing piece was overflow: hidden on body.
Moments like these really get me down from my high horse

macOS' Finder says I have 24 files and directories in my home directory. 'ls -lah | wc -l' says I have 172. That's a lot to keep hidden from me. :)

It's too late for this but I just realized it so I'm sharing it anyway.
How do I get through tough dev days?
Depending on how tough it is going :
House music
Soundtracks for focus
Soundtracks for action (any Assassins here?)
AC soundtrack with chocolate.

Um, am I the only one who thinks that the SOS feature for WatchOS3 is going to cause a lot of issues for the emergency services, like as in they will get so many accidental calls?

What the fucking fuck. Arquillian you piece of shit.
I have a service that needs to go to production soon, it contains Arquillian tests. The tests work locally but not when going through our new Jenkins pipeline. The error message simply says: "Could not start Arquillian container".
Well fuck you too.
After 3 fucking days of rewriting configs, changing up things and I dont know what else I did, I stubled upon the most hidden error message in the history of error messages, a small little line that says "Could not find or load main class ".
Those 2 spaces are intentional btw, because the fucking error was that when starting arquillian and reading the config there was A FUCKING SPACE too much in my JVM arguments. This piece of shit iterpreted it as my FUCKING MAIN CLASS. Whhhhyyyyy, whhhyyyy. Who the fuck... AAAAAAAAAHHH

Btw I snuck myself on devrant a few weeks back and managed to get my 100++ today. Really love this place 😊

Scope creep and hidden requirements. Project seemed to get bigger every week. 4 months salary for 7~9 months of actual work.

There was a hidden input with the calculated price from the client. It was passed to the backend. It was not validated on the backend. The customer was charged that amount. It would have taken a long time to fix...

New motto: hidden feature, crouching bug

Spending the morning adding a feature. Only discover that it can be satisfy with current features, when I finished it. I think I will call it a hidden feature now.

Never opened a long forgotten program you wrote to be astonished how it was well implemented?
Usually looking at old code the reaction is "WTF!did i wrote this crap?" but in some cases you can find hidden gems.

Did Apple just make a nude joke about the messages app?

A lecturer for an Embedded Systems module who gave out drivers for an LCD display with no documentation at all, and about 4 functions for writing to the display and 3 initialisation functions, spent ages trying to actually decide what each function did by which memory addresses it was changing and how (made even better by the fact a good bit of the functions were written in Assembly since it was Embedded C)🙃

I just found out there is a 500 GB hidden and encrypted encrypted bitlocker drive on my Linux laptop. Thanks I guess? 😅
