[Extremely off topic]
Hi, Michelle's back and alive. You probably don't remember me, but that's okay. :)69 -
The person who found this toilet paper company, probably was a programmer. Also probably the best way to describe Array with an Object

Ever accidentally +1 someone, remove it, and then feel bad cause they probably got a notification?7
-
Difference between machine learning and AI:
If it is written in Python, it's probably machine learning
If it is written in PowerPoint, it's probably AI2 -
Today I'm gonna try to do a few push ups or sit ups every time my code fails to compile. Do you think I'm gonna be a better coder or a body builder at the end of the day?6

Poor Dijkstra is probably crying in his grave because my professor calls him "digest-tra" 😢 feelsbadman8

Take whatever you want, you'll probably need it sometime.2 -
I'm a mathematical and scientific theoretical probabilist. I listen to theories and say ''hmm that's probably true''3

Worst data loss? Probably back when I was working at gitlab and accidentally dropped a production database....3

Please stop posting xkcd images, we've probably already seen them. Try to be original for god's sake.5

Windows is probably good now...
And Real Player probably isn't buffering anymore either.
Still don't want to try either.13 -
I know lots of you love stickers. But be careful according to this article.
Putting Stickers On Your Laptop is Probably a Bad Security Idea

Ever spend hours debugging and your coworker mutters "... It's probably XYZ" and they are right? 😵1

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
A stranger with a German sounding name send me over 400 euros through PayPal.
Probably a scam. Can't open a dispute with PayPal because I am on the receiving end.12 -
Petition for devrant to start using iso dates. Or at least pick up the format from the device's locale. But preferably iso. Seeing m/d/y does my head in.16

It took me way too long to understood what I wrote few weeks ago. After looking at the code for few minutes and looking at my db structure, I finally realized. I also instantly remembered that I wrote that "user is shown as ad" comment hoping I will not confuse myself in future. Apparently I failed.
Temporarily added next line of comment to help the future me.
Deep down I know that I should change function name itself to become clearer, more meaningful and easier to understand.
But writing that comment, making those screenshots, combining the 2 images in Pinta and writing this rant is faster than thinking the new name.

probably gonna have to do with environmental software certification (optimizing for energy reduction, that sort of stuff)15

I find Pixel fanboys as annoying as iPhone fanboys.
I probably find all mindless fanboys annoying.4 -
A couple of years ago I was working on a fairly large system with a complex (by necessity) access control architecture.
As is usually the case with those projects, it's awkward for developers to repro bugs that have to do with a user's accesses in production when we are not allowed to replicate production data in test, let alone locally.
We had a bug where I ended up making myself a new row in the production database for a thing I could have access to without affecting real data to repro it safely. I identified the bug so I could repro it in dev/test and removed the row and ensured everything worked normally, whew scary.
Have you ever walked into the office one day, and everyone is hunched over in a semicircle around one person's workstation, before one turns around to look at you and says - after a pause - "... ltlian?.."
Turns out I had basically "poisoned the well" with my dummy entity in a way where production now threw 500 for everyone BUT me who had transitive access to this post-non-entity. Due to the scope of the system, it had taken about a day for this to gradually propagate in terms of caching and eventual consistencies; new entities coming in was expected, but not that they disappear.
Luckily I had a decent track record for this to be a one-off. I sometimes think about how I would explain testing in prod and making it faceplant before going home for the day, other than "I assumed it would be fine". I would fire me.3 -
Random, and probably useless, but do most people pronounce Sudo as you would "pseudo" or "sue-dew"?14
-
I work for a big bank. I'm going to say pretty much the entire Support team is incompetent.
Oh something went wrong? Escalate to devs... cuz we have no idea wtf to do and don't have the most basic technical problem solving skills...
Bunch of useless monkeys... btw guess what time it is now? And what I'm doing?5 -
I'd say Uncle Bob, since I ended up flying through his Clean Code book in order to get a placement job, but in reality, it's probably only partially that.
Most of my influence probably comes from the guy I shadowed under when I was on placement. He taught me way more than he probably ever realises.1 -
MacOS got a dark mode.
Which means iOS is probably getting a dark mode next year.
Which mean Google will probably make an Android dark mode in 2 years.

That moment when you're about to push to release but then you remember that it's not even functional yet.1
-
I feel like I'm utterly wasting away my life. I'd love to learn Rust, but the tutorials and The Book seem very boring. Suggest something to build using Rust.2
-
If you are writing all your code from scratch, you are probably an amateur.
If you are copying and pasting most of your code, you are probably a beginner. -
It'd be pretty nice if I could learn how microservices work. Probably read a book or two on them in summer break. One can hope, right?
Also, probably learn how to use vim, finally. :^) -
Just received this really weird email. Probably spam, but why even bother when there is no link or attachment? Maybe it is encrypted... 🤔 What do you think? Anyways, the server has SSH enabled anyone care to bruteforce? :^)

"If you think you're the smartest person in the room, you're probably not*."
*You probably are a fucking idiot though.3 -
Wanted to write a personal rant but fuck it, that shit that I wrote is too cheesy. Let me just say: I hate myself for not being able to work as a fucking human being. I hate every fucking human out there. I want to be fucking left alone and do what I want without feeling like a disgrace. I want to be me and be happy. Fuck you.
With love, some whiny boy4 -
Mah noob wannabe language designer side here again...
...Idea: Automatic/implicit interfaces.
1. do you know a language that has (something like) this?
2. good idea or a bad idea? why?
3. thanks :)

Hadn't touched Java for more than a year, had to refresh it back. Probably learnxinyminutes is enough?2
-
Listening to @addlinny and @cascross123 dealing with our apple developer account, I probably need popcorn for this!3
-
I am probably going to regret this, but I’ve been having trouble making decisions about what to sing in Smule lately, so anybody got any requests for a song they want me to sing (probably badly?) 😂
-
#define AUDIOLB_EXIT_ON_ERROR(hres) \
if (FAILED(hres)) { goto Exit; }
#define AUDIOLB_SAFE_RELEASE(punk) \
if ((punk) != NULL) \
{ (punk)->Release(); (punk) = NULL; }
Looking through old audio code I wrote. Found these macros. Will most likely reuse for a new project. It works damnit!
Do you feel lucky?!7 -
kikis probably right
i'm a pathetic addict
the problem is i never drink *quite* enough to do something *really* stupid
at my level any other rere would probably be doing something very destructive
but i'm not afforded such luxury
instead just 10+ drinks in on a saturday :/ (now sunday)5 -
Another day, another possibly stupid idea for my language. Another one of those that's been floating in my head from the start, and I want to have it, but I'm not entirely sure about its implications...?
I mean... languages already have semantic feature like this, I'm just trying to extend the principle to not have any special cases, to be completely universal and have simple syntax.
Thoughts?

I'd probably try to become a professional tabletop game master and also focus on getting better at arts to do commissions for some extra cash.
If that would not work out as well, I'd probably try to get into mentoring or teaching. -
The Redstone bleeding edge builds are probably the worst for designers - Illustrator behaves as if it's high!
-
Git blame falls into one of 2 categories, that one guy in the office that means it's probably broken or anyone else and you probably don't understand.
If you've never experienced the former, I've got some bad news for you... -
well folks
trading futures
soon there will be no need to listen to any clown, post on dev rant, or to work for anyone
so probably, the depression will increase...
🤡
for anyone interested, if you have a strong interest in statistics and probabilities, you can probably do well here

I can't believe express would betray me like that. Doing a POST request to the Twitter API every time I use it, tsk tsk tsk 😫

I'm probably not the first, but ...
template <typename T>
using $ = std::shared_ptr<T>;
I mean... C'mon!12 -
I know this has probably been asked, but I completely missed any of it.
What the fuck's up with devRant and rubber ducks? Is there a backstory? If so, could you explain?
If these questions have been asked before (possibly multiple times), gimme links - I'll read those. I'm willing to bet that I'm not the first or last to have and subsequently ask these questions.
Even better, a TL;DR in the form of a comment is appreciated! 👍😜😂2 -
I'm not sure. I'll probably do one of these:
- YouTuber, most probably travel / adventure videos
- Pilot
- Hurricane / Tornado hunter
- organic farming -
Looking up new js libraries/interesting CSS snippets that MAY help but probably won't. (But they might)1

@dfox wanted to fix a small typo but I think it got bugged out, it's been 8 hours since that post but I can't edit it

VMware 6.5 web GUI programmer fail. Probably forgot to access a specific name property of the object.

I hate nothing as much as I hate endings. I'll go to lengths to avoid putting an end to anything.
So I'm super anxious these days trying to put an end to a project I've been working on for a long-ish while. 😐
Literally I rather having nerve diseases and be in pain 24/7 than submitting it.
Kill me plz. 😫3 -
Probably play things on the internet, start my only fans.
Probably music things, which is compatible with streaming and only fans too
