Invent punch over ip protocol (POIP)

Some people just need that sort of thing

Maybe it does some sort of calculation to let us know who is going to call next by accessing calls? #facepalm

I'm starting to realize my place looks more and more like some sort of Batcave...

What the hell Siri.... What sort of computation is this

My friend had the bright idea of making a version of bubble sort that plays a quacking sound effect on every swap. I added in different variations of the same sound effect for various conditions.

We named it "Quacksort," and one of the professors asked us to present it to the intro class.

My career has reached its peak.

I never wanted to be any sort of developer. I was studying graphic design. I partnered with a friend to create an app. He would code and I'd make things pretty. He flaked, and I picked up programming. That's my story.

dfox please put in a "support us" feature of some sort that lets us watch ads of our own free will. I hate using your resources while not working for it at all.

Well, I finished my bot... and it's sort of working?? LOL

Most moronic implementation... But atleast it uses some type of sort...

My try at the fractal tree :) This sort of simple graphical code is very quickly satisfying, gonna try to add some wind next

Love this quote:
"Think of C as sort of a plain-spoken grandfather who grew up trapping beavers and served in several wars but can still do 50 pullups."

I told my TL about my aspiration of pursuing a Masters degree.
TL: "You don't seem like the sort that is suitable for academy."
Me: "You don't seem like the sort who's suitable for management but here we are..."

There must be some sort of punishment for those who write JavaScript "Java Script"

Took me a week to realize that "!rant" just means "not rant".

I thought it was some sort of post front-matter that was no longer supported by the app (like a Duck Duck Go "bang").

😅

Junior dev complained about my request to remove unnecessary comments because they're too obvious. "They may be obvious to you, but not to others" he said.

The codes and the comments:
// Sort the array
arr.Sort()

// Return the first element of the array
return arr[0]

What sort of black magic fuckery is this O_O

Girlfriend: There are so many passwords to remember, man. What's my amazon password, baby?

Me: Just use a password manager?

Girlfriend: That sort of thing exists?

Fuck yeah!!! After five days of fiddeling round in assembly without any sort of tutorial finally, im there :)

No such thing as unscrewable screw.
Engineering prevails!

The fun thing about wannacry and petya ransomware, that you are living in Ukraine and facing this sort of shit second day long

Can we please have some sort of syntax highlighter for posting codes?

Sort of bittersweet, but that's what I get for trying to answer a shitty question

When you have to spend two days inventing math formulas for work because google won't tell you how to sort every possible combination of an array of arrays into a zero based number list, or how to get a combination from just it's index.

When your coworker writes his own selection sort instead of using the built in Arrays.sort()

Efficiency at its finest...

I am happy!
Participated in Hacktoberfest for the first time, and now, the t-shirt (which, btw, looks pretty nice imo) is on its way! Can't wait!

Thanks to the people who organize these sort of events ❤️😁

My last shipment arrived faster then expected. Quality merch as always 👌 Merry Christmas to me and to every one else as well ofcourse! Thanks @dfox & @trogus. Maybe add some sort of a sweatpants and some holiday socks to the catalogue? 🤔😁

Practical example of why you should sort your code by feature (users, notes, analytics) instead of technical layer (models, views, controllers, etc)

wooah.... devRant's front page got a whole redesign....

... though it feels sort of main-stream now...

What sort of fucking asshole decided to name it "data science"? We already have a "science of studying data", it's called Statistics...

This was sort of strange to see... but props to Adobe for Order 66'ing their shit.

!dev, sort of

Days like today make me not ready for Monday. Goddamnit nature, why you gotta be so pristine?

!rant

Apparently everyone else has some sort of inanimate object they use for debugging. Am I the only dev that just using all the other voices in my head for a souding board?

My company has sort of project team ("FachArbeitsGruppe" in German) meetings regularly and we love our abbreviations so every now and then at work I see an email or document just labeled "FAG". I think there's even a users group called "FAG IT".

Together with karlie kloss and MIT App Inventer, we would change the world, well sort of

Finally (sort of )completed my website for the first time ever.
Yay me!
Sorry for the useless post, but some of you should be able to relate.

So went to my bros graduation at CMU. Weather turned out to be really nice unlike forecasted.

And I was even able to meet myself 😀... Sort of

"Hi, can we have a demo for <feature/subsystem X which doesn't exist in our system and which will take months to add> in three days? We sort of promised a new prospect that we have it and can show it."

Sales. Just. Sales.

me: "hey, how you like this place?"
girl: "ehhh, sort of"
me: "with pleasure!"

I've got a file on my desktop called key.txt, and it's just a single line in it that is clearly some sort of API key.

Absolutely no memory of what it is for.

University Final Viva for OOP with C++
(Yeah, that first line is a rant in itself for the likes of me and Mr. Torvalds)
Assistant Professor:
Tell me a few "functions" in C++ STL algorithm header
Me:
*starts off with the first one that came to my mind*
sort()
AP: Huh? a I'm asking the Algorithms in C++ STL
Me: Yes, this is one of them Ma'am.
She looked at me as if I told her that I'm dating her daughter. It became clear she doesn't know about it and she'll gladly deduct my marks for getting it wrong. So I explained how Sort() is a hybrid of quicksort, heap sort and insertion sort. (Read about it an hour ago while doing a competitive programming question)
AP: Tell me the ones we did in class.
I haven't attended those classes, so I just told her the ones I knew.

After a couple more infuriating questions, which themselves sounded right from a book published in the 90's, she gave me 10/15.

This is what's wrong with India's Education system, even the teachers know only the stuff mentioned in the course hand-outs. Forget brownie points, you get screwed over by the teachers for actually knowing stuff and using it.

I'm the first in 3 generations not be some sort of pipeline/mechical engineer. All my family works at the same company too.

I was partially accepting because at least a software engineer is some kind of engineer.

...And than my cousin graduated to be a gym teacher so I was then fully accepted 😂

As a game developer this sort of shit pissed me off way more than it should...

I wish there were some sort of nerd club in my city were IT ppl gathered and build a datacenter just for fun

TIL the term "Kangaroo Code" was also a popular sort-of synonym for "Spaghetti Code".

It more referred to languages that heavily used "goto"s (because it would be "code with a lot of jumps")

Is this some sort of weird chocolate kind of Unix timestamp?

Stupid HTML checkboxes! It's always annoyed me that you can't just set checked to true or false, but have to remove the property altogether to uncheck a checkbox. Better still would be if you'd only need to set the value to 1 or 0, and the checked or not would sort out automatically. Yes, there are frameworks to handle it, I know. But if checkboxes had been designed right from start, a framework or any sort of special cases would not be needed. You've got love HTML, but things like this make it ugly.

I had a CS teacher that could barely find the power button. She never gave any sort of instruction or guidance. We were supposed to be learning how to code,but played Oregon Trail instead.

Stand up on Zoom...
Day 1: No one knows who will speak their daily tasks first or last
Day 45: There is mutual order which appears out of the blue and everyone has their own sort of roll number for speaking in stand-up meeting😂

This is an old friend of mine, who recently joined the company I work with, 6 months back. And this is what he pinged me with yesterday.

This should be considered harassment at workplace, and trigger social, psychological, emotional, physical and all other sort of distancing.

Joined a game development Facebook group just for shits and giggles to see what sort of hell I can see on there...

Never have I seen so much broken English or the amount of people asking for help to build a shameless clone for Android just to get money... Really makes you think sometimes...

Almost every single meeting

I need a folder for unsorted unfinished programs to sort them out of sorted unfinished programs. Also, I have an "old" folder inside of "old" folder. On both computers.

A guy I work with put some sort of network scanning software on his phone. It reported 2 machines on our network with the word "China" in them.
So I changed the name of my machine to "Russian-Hacker".

At work I use C# / .net but outside work I use PHP / Laravel.

I notice they are very similar.

Also .net used “razor”

Laravel uses “blade” - “razor blade”

Is there some sort of overlap between .net and laravel I’m not aware of?

mr robot episode 08 is some sort of crazy shit

Recreated minesweeper... Sort of

Seems just using a random number generator for Mine placement doesn't make good games...

What the fuck sort of help do you call this!?

So I tried to set up Google AdSense on my website to show ads and earn some $... Next day AdSense console tells me that they've found "Adult: Sexual content" on my site. Like, WTF? There was nothing of such sort.

I want to start a community of advanced cli devs, but, idk.

Y'know, a bunch of people who make shit like spotify-cli, devrant-cli, pornhub-cli, the sort.

My phone's WIFI hotspot is called "ThePromisedLANd".

I'm that sort of gal 😜

Today we updated PHP on our server. From 7.0 to 7.2
Promptly the whole server went down and none of the pages on it worked anymore. I guess we sort of forgot that there are other pages on the serve than the one we were working on...
Now everything is operational again.

Whenever my boss pitches an idea to me I close my eyes and try to make an this-is-a-really-complex-problem face like I am a sort of rainman or something, while I am actually thinking, wow this is stupid

pencil and paper.

kind of weird right? haha I just like writing down stuff, it helps me sort the details out when I write them down.

Why do all developers that seem to know their stuff drinks, smokes or both? Is it some sort of a trade secret?

You know that USB joke... well you see this cable fits both ways... Sort of except one doesn't work and will if you force it I guess u could break the input

Hey! I will start as a freelancer in a few days and i want to know what tools do you use in your each day, to manage tasks, time trackings and that sort of things? And if you give some advice will be appreciated, thanks!

After years of misusing and abusing my eyes (e.g., pulling an unhealthy amount of all-nighters and spending almost every waking hour in front of a screen of some sort), I believe I am in need of glasses. Although I should go to an optometrist first.

Was accused of plagiarism because I could write a bubble sort algorithm without a reference (and therefore without a source) in my SECOND year of courses.

Their low expectations bit them in the ass when the admin. made all undergrads take a basic test (for loop going through an array, average of values, etc) and lots of people in their third year failed.

DevRant should have a sort by random I am tired of reloading and get basically the same thing but in different orders

I hate when people call any sort of program that does anything even remotely intelligent looking “AI.” No, there is a very specific distinction between actual artificial intelligence, and a bunch of if-statements.

if false? if false what? (false is just not defined, but this is the sort of shit I come across in the twig-theme-saas world, makes me angry)

Has anybody noticed that "this" in JavaScript is sort of a pain in the ass to keep track of? It appears to have identity issues.

Had another shouting contest today with this manager-of-some-sort. So yeah, I’m practically done with this company.

Turns out deleting a git branch also deletes your unchanged changes fuckkkkk

Well as good a time as any to learn how to use 'git fsck' and manually sort through hundreds of dangling blobs

There is some sort of Problem with the CSS of your site... @dhanvi

I sort of panicked when typing out my mail to avail of the free stickers. I forgot to put my full name. welp

But they still replied! XD DevRant is awesome!!!

It seems almost everyone here is a web or mobile developer of some sort. Am I the only non-student, desktop developer? I occasionally do some backend web stuff, but I just do a lot of desktop stuff (mostly C++)

The other thing I did was write a reduce function to sort items in an array without modifying the original array.

.... I really need to find a job so I stop being the sole driver of my time. XD

In the news today, a city in Lebanon fell victim to some sort of explosion, which was captured by hundreds of civilians via cell phone recording.

In other news today, millions of people learned Lebanon is a real place.

So apparently there's going to be some sort of "link tax" for creating hyperlinks to other peoples websites.

What's next is the EU government going to start requiring people to register a license to run a webserver on their computer?

Can you overdose on strong coffee? I feel sort of lightheaded on and off when walking and heart feels like it's beating a lot... after drinking a large cup this afternoon...

You would think developers would have some intelligence...

*Side note: If you're building a sort of SDK, please for fucks sake never force me to use XCode, and make sure that it actually fucking compiles without me having to fix your code"

As I went through old open PRs, to sort them out and resolve them, I started to feel you do when you look at your childhood photos or in case of YouTubers at their old videos.

That is to say, I'm dying of shame.

*Well at least I'm cleaning them up now so~*

I have been asked to submit a piece of code for review for an interview, something I'm proud of writing.

What kind of code snippet would you submit? (A custom sort.. a tricky bit of data manipulation etc)

I make jewelry,mostly earrings but necklaces and bracelets as well. While i sort of watch TV. Something to keep my hands busy and my mind free

Any sort of video conferencing.

Every time. EVERY TIME. Is always a hassle. It’s always, ALWAYS shite.

How many of you actually study without any sort of aiding substance such as coffee or vitamin pills? I do, for instance.

I don't use any aid but it makes it more difficult sometimes. I just eat wholesome food and work out to make my brain have enough energy to process difficult matter.

I would love to develop true A.I, though one which doesn't want to kill.

Sort of like the machine in Person of interest, something which can be everywhere and acts as a guardian for all.

Public transport system in my city has the following option for monthly subscription: you can register your DEBIT/CREDIT CARD in some sort of whitelist and use it on the doors to access the subway or buses.

Of the rants that have tags, it seems like half of them contain some sort of non-tag that is dry wit, self-aware joke, or humorous comment.

Sort of off topic but why can't you un-press buttons in elevators?

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)

There is a mAtHeMaTicAl pRoOf 🤡 that a comparison-based sorting algorithm cannot get more efficient than O(n*log n). That's bullshit. Radix sort et al. — granted, they're not comparison-based.

But there is one comparison-based algorithm that can sort an array in O(n). It's called Stalin sort.

It traverses the array and deletes every item that doesn't appear in order. Boom, problem solved — the array is sorted in O(n), at the expense of losing (most of the) elements.

This is the perfect metaphor of Stalin's politics.

I'm going insane.
My colleague wanted to sort an excel spreadsheet and got an error. "Can't sort, column width must match" (or something along the lines) . Which basically means you got non uniformly merged cells.
Without telling me this, he asked for training on how to change column width precisely, after spending 30 minutes explaining he done just that. Column by column for all 40 columns he did just that. Resized to 10 of something (no one really knows what those width numbers in Microsoft Excel really mean) and try to sort.
I Shit you knot, he got the exact same error and flipped out angry at me for creating a shitty system (I think he spent an hour or two total with double and triple checking the sizes)
I did laugh because of this, but I do feel bad for not asking what was the real reason before all of this.

I finally (sort of) understand how to perform an interactive rebase thanks to a single enlightening article. Not sure why nobody explained it so clearly before.

This will make my half-baked commits much less embarrassing.

devRant needs some sort of Offspring-of-Clippy tool.

"It looks like you're posting a sort-of-humorous-the-first-time joke or meme. Have you bothered to scroll more than twice to see if this dead horse has, indeed, been well flogged?" 😜

Can't someone just write some sort of Programm that gets project adjectives as input and outputs some nice project names. That would be super awesome. How do you create your project names?

Chatbot that can reply to any sort of questions, query, etc.

Nothing I fucking hate more than working without any sort of specification then being asked to change something multiple times because no one has any defined functionality.

Because that's the sort of dev manager I am...

1 in 5 rants in the past week have been about Python bashing. Did I miss some sort of cataclysm or something?

@dfox New excellent algo sort makes lots of old threads bumb which means better notifications is suddenly more important.

I'm wishing for notifications grouped per thread and with a line or two of the rant/comment the notifications is about.

I hate having friends that don't want any sort of challenge,

GitHub appears to be operating in some sort of time paradox at the moment as none of my recent commits are showing up.

Writing hebrew in Latex using a template that doesn't support UTF-8 is the most archaic shit I've done lately. I feel like some sort of a caveman.
This fucking encoding inverts all letters so it can support right to left. 😓

Wrote my first u it tests for c++. Considering how hard everything else is, I was sort of afraid. But turns out it’s not as bad as I was expecting.

Was working on an issue that happened to be number 666. And it sort of lived up to its name. Hours of work for no necessary change. Thinking of rejecting as non-issue. Think it would be inappropriate to write "get behind me Satan" or "the power of Christ compels you" as rejection reason?

Okay okay, who really uses vim? I can barely finish vimtutor.

It’s dope but I don’t know if I could see myself doing any sort of web development efficiently on it.

Seems like it would take a solid month to be able to zip around.

So just went for an interview that a slimy recruiter set up, 'yes they want experience in C#', great! Finally get back on top of my rent, sort my life out. Get to the interview, fucking C++ job...

I've had enough.

Sorry I posted late for wk68.

When my colleague taught me how to use excel sorting. I tend to not know also so he can be use of help instead of slacking.

He's always saying, "Oh my gosh! I can't really imagine and feel awesome when teaching you devs how to sort things in excel."

Probably with a time-lapse photo or some sort of artist’s rendering like this one.

Feature request: Being able to copy text from rants/comments on mobile. Also some sort of code formatting would be nice!

You think you know agile? Which of the following is the most useless? Sort them in an ascending way (where 5 brings the most value) :

1) Product Owner
2) Project Coordinator
3) Project Lead
4) Front office
5) the cleaning lady

Back to my old true self ~ ^^
(except now I have a yellow background, what looks like some sort of beverage, and a slightly darker skin because the Sun is a deadly lazer).

(I changed my avatar hours ago, already, but I couldn't rant about it then because of the 2h cooldown, so yeeeaah)

I've been watching that "Mr Robot" lately, and its warped my sensibilities. Now, whenever I see something ridiculous, like "I've got the hard drive here" (holds up PSU), I'm irrationally angry and won't watch the rest of the show. I wish more producers would spend the time to build that sort of realism

javascript is garbage

typescript despite best intentions, regardless of how well it's executed, is still garbage as it's some sort of band aid on top of javascript, and javascript is garbage

Before you ask, yes I'm garbage at front end development

when you see this in the code of a senior programer

if(0){
all sort of things;
}

or just like

if($var == $tmp){
do nothing
}

if i would have done this in college i wouldnt be programming today...

They think I’m a genius of some sort, lol

In an algorithm class, professor introduced us to some simple search algorithms (bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, shell sort). He did a quite decent job and most of the students were able to grasp the code and understand the differences in those algorithms. But then he spoiled his whole lecture with one additional slide. There he proposed an optimization: Instead of using a temporary swap variable, we just could use the first array element (or the zeroth element, respectively: the one ad index 0) for doing all the swapping. We just had to document that, so that the caller would "leave the first position of the array empty", resulting in "cleaner code". And he did that in the same class where he used Big-O notation to argue about runtime complexity. But having the caller to resize the array and to shift all the elements by one position did not matter to him at all, because it was "not part of the actual algorithm".

Hi everyone. I'm a 14 years old programmeer and have made a simple machine learning algorithm. It's sorting fruit. Would you like to help me and spend a minute of your life and visit fruitsort.heroku.com and sort your fruit?
It will be very fine

Reading about micro services and they sort of sound like mini APIs wrapped by individual HTTP servers.

But if all the APIs need to send requests to each other wouldn't the overhead from just making the connections for each request add up and be huge?

Hey I noticed this month devrant++ subscription is $2.12 on Google Play. The usual is $1.99.

Did anyone else notice? did Google start taxing subscriptions? That's sort of cheap of them... They already take a 30% cut and they can't foot the tax bill?

im the only person in my company who has any sort of tech skill. Im the only dev here, the only IT guy here, and pretty much the only person who can use a computer outside of facebook. And my CEO is expressing concerns as to what i do? Life of startup hell

Okay, I really need some help here.

We're building quite a large application that will serve as the backbone for the whole company. We have to implement some sort of role system. We're debating whether or not to store roles in the DB or in code (some sort of config file). Personally I don't see any reason to do so. What's your thoughts?

honestly im all for devrant becoming sone sort of alternative to StOve, or branched off into one, you all are so nice and fun to talk/listen to, and ypu dont treat this platform as a dick measurement contest

So I am new to coding — excited to be learning but terrified to get out and find some sort of job when that time comes.

@dfox @trogus
Why is it that after scrolling down on my profile page I can no longer properly scroll up? The view gets sort of "stuck" (sorry, no Android dev here).

@dfox, is there a "@everyone" sort of function that mentions everyone who commented on a particular rant?

Do you sometimes get into the mindset of considering the GitLab Contributors tab as some sort of scoreboard?

Utterly nonsensical of course, but I feel a youth full of videogames has somewhat trained me in that regard.

If I'm writing an app which has the sole purpose of receiving some data from a server, then sending some other data back (so nothing is stored locally) - what sort of stuff do I write tests for?

Client wants lots of testing to occur, but all of the tests I can think of wouldn't add any value

Best thing: I started to understand how compilers work under the hood (sort of), was even able to implement a few scanners already

Worst thing: I have absolutely no clue how to continue ._.

There's this odd thing that I'm experiencing in the moment of falling asleep.
I somehow remain conscious and can feel how the unconscious part of my brain opens a sort of portal to a dream world. I begin to hear sounds and my speed of thinking becomes slower.
That's when I get a panic attack and I am trying it again. After the 2nd or 3rd try, it usually works and I wake up in the next morning as if nothing happened and the cycle repeats again lol

That makes me wonder if a "healthy" way of dying will have this sort of transition as well.

Me: *Starts to code for uni assignment*
Puts ANY sort of music in the background => hours of coding go by, beautifully.
Tries to code without music due to broken headphones => 5 min feels like an eternity and nothing makes sense...
I swear, "my headphones broke" should be a valid reason for an extension.

I just got mindustry (which is currently on sale for $3) and it's a great tower defence, resource production, machine builder, tech tree researcher, sort of game! Really really worth the $3 and will probably appeal to a lot of people here.

I'm going to build a PC. Everything is done besides of the GPU.

I wanted to go full team red, but it turns out that the RX 5700 XT has a lot of driver issues.
I watched a hell lot of YouTube videos, benchmarks, forum posts, reddit, ...
Everyone is complaining about driver issues that haven't been fixed since the launch of the product.

That makes me want to go to team green and buy the NVIDIA 2070 SUPER GPU.

I post this as some sort of rant, but also as some sort of advice seeking post to double check my decision before I buy the 2070 SUPER.

I'm currently missing a university class because of a wincrap update I didn't consent to. It didn't even ask if it can reboot, it just randomly did it while I was working.

Do I have some sort of legal grounds to sue?

I want to adopt this habit of coding one fundamental concept/tool/.. every day before/after work. I already started doing it and I've been coding sort algorithms. every morning since last week, in Java.
What do you guys think should go on the list of things to practice regularly ?

One of the senior devs just showed me their documentation AND IT'S A FUCKING ONENOTE FILE WHERE EVERYBODY JUST WROTE WHATEVER THEY THOUGHT SHOULD BE WRITTEN DOWN IN RANDOM PLACES
Atleast it's some sort of documentation I guess.

Being Ill and a dev is the worst... Not being able to think straight and focus for more then 2seconds really kills any sort of work you can do

When developers see everything the way it could be rather than the way it is - sort of on a slant. Opens up lots of opportunities.

I AM going to put parts of my SUPPORT request in CAPITALS to point OUT how annoy I am.

SORT IT OUT

Seriously FUCK OFF

Waking up at 4:30 am is a some sort of enlightenment. For example, today I figured out that using sudo with npm is generally a bad idea.
-_- Well...

More marks for a bubble sort.

For those of you that know the bubble sort you may share my frustration. I built a simple python program that took three integers and sorted them using a series or compound if statements using no built in low and max functions. Someone in my college class did the same thing but used a bubble sort and got higher marks. This angers me, I had to write an algorithim in a language I had barely touched but this person just used old scrappy code and got higher marks. Only a little tease but you get the picture, bubble sort is inefficient.

!Rant

When you get this sort of answer on stackoverflow....

Lmao Microsoft started spamming all Skype users like some sort of scammer from early 2000's.

Yesterday I spent almost 3 hours trying to sort an array of objects in java. I'm a person who has written a lot of python and dart code and java is just so daunting. Every simple thing is so complicated.
You can sort a list of objects wrt any parameter using a one liner in python.
Finally after copy pasting a lot of code from stack overflow the thing got sorted. And the worst part I don't even know how the thing works.

If only there were some sort of function to determine if a value was in an array

Allright, so.. 3 (sort of 4) dev projects at work (7 roles in total), 2 (sort of 3) DEV projects at home, 2 guys approaching to me via messenger w/ DEV/Linux questions, family (with a baby), construction works in the apartment, taking care of the farmstead,...

Whenever you ask "what do you do", I'm not even sure where to start.

Whenever you call me with "Hello, I'm calling from company X, do you have some time to answer a few questions" I sort of want to hit someone really hard before answering "yes, sure".

I know this is incredibly fucking minor, but

MY LAST HALF-DAY OF CPD HAS BEEN DROPPED AND I'M MAD ABOUT IT

I have literally two weeks left and they will. not. stop. pulling this shit. AAAARRGHHHH

When your shop is closing and you are the only IT staff member (sort of) left who is supposed to take care of a proper shutdown.

Thankfully not anymore, but Asana was the most frustrating and confusing piece of crap when I had to work with it.

I would literally spend hours trying to sort out where everything came from, let my boss know that other people were trying to get me to do something via some private task that no one else can see, sort out random ass replies to random points in conversations and then open up my email and answer all the half-baked open ended questions that were sent separately over email.

What's your git style? Commit many times as a sort of change tracker/backup regardless of feature completeness or functionality, or only when something is complete and passes tests?

Me: so we've added bunch of features to our app so that everything updates live automatically and you can edit it online and sort and filter and do bunch of other stuff.

Boss: great, how do I export it to xls?

I spent the majority of my afternoon trying to find a good site to help me improve on my coding but they all seem the same. I'm tired of switching sites and going all through the basics that I already know again and again. I need a project! Some sort of goal or maybe just switch languages.

Is it sort of silly to work remote, but from a different place (library, shop, mall)?

I've had one remote job in the past, but start another tomorrow and I'm hoping to try to work from different places.

All of the posts of folks with their laptops on beaches, looking at waterfalls, and such make me happy.

I guess it's a sort of a mix of depression and burnout right now. I want to do nothing and I am constantly procrastinating. Also, very frequent sleepiness.

PS: was going to post in rants, but it's sort of random stuff rather than a rant.

Finally turned one of my monitors portrait. Is this a right of passage of some sort?

Slack sort your shit out. slightly_smiling_face ??? Stop making me doubt the authenticity of the smile emoji.

Well... My process isn't/wasn't necessarily that refined... It sort of goes like this. "You're stupid and you know nothing." Rinse and repeat.

5 minutes till I go home. And server breaks... Out of space and a bunch of the automation tools have thus done harm. I'm no DevOps. But I just want to go home but have to sort it out.

Every fucking time I start win10, I need to make sure I have task manager running on the side. Otherwise some sort of random windows process starts spirilling out of control and needs to be killed. Fucking hate windows.

I literally just answered an issue by copying the lmgtfy.com link.
The reporter is a fellow programmer. Shouldn't that at least require some sort of knowledge about how to use Google?

So I just noticed while looking at our release notes, we got some new members of our Shanghai team. Their English names are:

Paul, Jonas, and ....
...
...
...
...
Elvis

Every time I see his name I sort of chuckle...

from twitter.

Stickers are forever, sort of :-D

Have grown wierdly fond of devRant in a very short time.
Reading about devs around the world getting as frustrated and magnetically fucked as me, gives me some sort of sadistic calmness.

Oh look I'm posting the same thing again because all logical patheways lead to the same fucking place.

Sort of binary tree with a few keys added visualized.

"I for one absolutely and unequivocally refuse to be bullied about by a thing’s capacity to absorb light. There is nothing less appealing than a color fraught with meaning – the very notion is boisterous, inappropriate, and marked by the dreariest sort of longing." - Fran Lebowitz

DEV dream journal: I dreamed about a decentralized A.I. that injected itself on every device and reprodused itself on a 3D printer. Well, in the end some sort of super quantum computer killed it tho. 🤣 should go out more often and stop watching terminator

NEED
some sort of
"RUBBER DUCK DEBUGGING"
TOY.

Links please?

So my vapes coil wick just gave out and leaked through my satchel... And covered my Chromebook...

Anyone feel like cleaning out vape oil from a Chromebook, not prepared to deal with this sort of oily hell!

Today I discovered a new feature of my electric toothbrush that I've had for years...

Sort of obvious afterwards but when I put it back on the charging stand, it automatically turns off.

Guess now I have a reason to put it back each time after use though

So I got an assignment for literature class to make and present some sort of creative project about transcendentalism. Time suggestion: 2-3 hours of work. 10 hours later, I have a videogame with 0 polish that I can convice the professor is about transcendentalism. I regret nothing.

love people who comment on shit (blog, website, saas product) when they have never built anything of the sort themselves

🤡

Have to create a social network type app for a project. Anyone ever used firebase for the purpose?
Any sort of help in defining the DB schema would help :D

Does vim have a tree view and multiple tabs? Maybe some sort of plugin? How bout Neovim? If there is anyway to get that on vim I am sold, but until then I’m sticking with my text editor.

How many hours does it take to get your configfiles right?
First .zshrc, then .vimrc, tmux, weechat, wpa_supplicant, grub... so much config.
But that's sort of the fun of it all

To get a job of some sort maybe

Me:
- 4+ years of experience
- Great Portfolio
- Great Github profile
- Worked at some succesful startups.

Interviewer:
- Uhmm sorry we can't hire you for this frontend job because you couldn't complete this whiteboard bubble sort test in c++.

Fuck ruby. I've spent less time learning the ecosystems of java, golang, node, and docker combined compared to the shit ruby is flinging at me like some sort of deranged baboon

100 dollars to rebuild the whole frontend of their startup. what sort of humans run these Nigerian companies ? smh

Just spent 3 fucking hours trying to find out why my tests are failing. I'm mocking ef with an in memory sqlite dB as THE FUCKING. Net docs say to.

My code does a simple decimal comparison in a linq statement and returns bullshit. Why? Sqlite does not have a decimal type, it does some sort of BULLSHIT to convert it into some sort of text value.

I change all my models to use doubles instead of decimals and all my tests turn green.

WTF IS THIS SHIT. If it doesn't work don't tell me to use it. I expect better of the. Net docs. Wtf are they doing.

This sort of CSS failure:

div { display: inline-block; width: 50%; }
span { display: inline-block; width: 50%; }

<div>go left</div>
<span>go right dammit</span>

I want legit data on how many times your second build attempt succeeded though you made absolutely no change from the previous build and sort of hope the compiler will be merciful this time around.

It is the part of the brain that still believes in supernatural stuffs I guess.

Guysss, thinking about getting a programming or computer related tattoo, I was thinking about a big 'C#' om my arm. What are your suggestionsss?

(It s a temporary tattoo so go crazy... sort of)
