I've built a small survey tool on the side. Maybe you want to check it out: https://fastsurvey.de/

It is free when cloud-hosted (by us) :)

Feedback is welcome!

Someone explain typescript to me , I still don't get why we need it?

People who buy firecrackers can be best crypto investers because they dont fear their money turning to zero in an instant

The time has come.

Today, I am giving everyone full public access to my devRant client for everyone!

In order to install the client, you need to install TestFlight and then open this link:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/...

This will let you join the public alpha/beta.

Please note that I will not be uploading the app to the iOS App Store because dfox doesn't allow it.

Please also note that this version of the app is quite early, and there will be glitches and bugs. The app automatically reports crashes to me, so I would know if there is a bug in the app.

What happens to us after death ?

I sometimes see people looking for people for a project collab on Devrant. Are there good websites dedicated to only this purpose?

The primary concept of reactive programming is great. The idea that things just naturally re-run when anything they rely on is changed is amazing. Really, I think it's the next step in programming language development and within a decade or two at least one of the top 5 programming languages will be built entirely on this principle.
BUT
Expecting every dependency to be used unconditionally is stupid. Code that checks everything it might need all the time even if a decision can be made from much less information is simply bad, inefficient code. If you want to build a list of dependencies automatically, you have to parse the source.
And I really hate that there are TONS of languages that either make the AST readable at runtime or ship with a very powerful preprocessor that could be used to analyse expressions and build dependency lists, but by its sheer popularity the language we're trying to knead into something it was never and still isn't meant to be is JavaScript.

Can't believe it's 2021 and building websites is still such a pain..

Do we really need to build a login page every time? have a refinement session to break it down to tasks?
("Oh right, we need a forgot-password link!")

Can't the damn thing align and look the same on two/three browsers?

2008 problems for life...

Time to make a deal with the devil

@theabbie since you love downloading the entire devRant db and writing little gimmicks, I have an idea for you.

Avatars are envcoded as URLs. Each part of an avatar is separated by an underscore. Shirt, pants, desk, whatever.

Make a bot or script or website or what-fucking-ever to query users with the same avatar as you. This would be:

- Same EXACT avatar (desk, pets, etc)
- Same body parts as you (face, skin color, hair, etc)
- Same body parts and clothing (everything that shows in the mini avatar next to comments, plus pants and shoes, I guess)

The doppelganger finder. Honestly I think it would be neat.

Would be even cooler if you could filter by active users (last post/comment within past 3 months)

So I have this crazy idea....

Not a rant, just to mention, if someone is interested in getting started with k8s ( like me ) there is the summer of k8s - https://getambassador.io/summer-of-... if you want to give it a try

Guys, Recently I have started working on a project with a very tight deadline, and the requirement from the client was to build the application in Python - Flask; So I was browsing for a bare minimum implementation of Flask with Docker and postgres just like the perks we get in Django but unfortunately couldn't find any so I have crafted something on my own to help other developers in future.

Here is a very simple Flask with almost everything to get you started with your next project, feel free to use or contribute - https://github.com/codvlpr/dlask

Going... going.... going.... gone!!

Stackoverflow is sold, now to sit back and await the profiteering that's bound to happen.

I quote:

Prosus has built a significant presence on the enterprise side with a focus on the future of workplace learning. Prosus will reach 90% of the Fortune 100 across its corporate learning companies including Stack Overflow, Skillsoft, Udemy and Codecademy.

What. The. Fuck. Did. Just. Happen.

A random girl followed me on social media. She looked nice and intelligent so I followed her back.

Started to chat about some random stuff. She told me she works at the HR department of an international company and asked me what's my job. Told her I'm a software developer.

Right after that she sent me a selfie. Obviously I said she looks nice, she thanked it and asked some more about my job. After a short discussion I received another selfie but somewhere in between she lost the outer layer of her clothing.

She still looks nice but now I'm sitting here utterly confused and cant tell whether it was my sarcastic humour and moderately handsome facial features which charmed her or she just needs to recruit someone for a new project and willing to do everything to reach the quota.

Based on popular demand, we're proud to introduce a basic image repost detector on devRant!

Right now it uses very simple hashing to see if an exact copy of an image was posted recently. If it was, then we display an error and we don't allow the image to be posted.

This is experimental so if you experience any issues with it please let me know.

Hi guys, I created a tiny Anime quotes API called Animechan. Totally free to use anywhere 😊✨

Last day at current company feels like 😢When something ends something else begins! All that remains is the memories you create with people!

On stackoverflow, I saw a new user post a comment as an answer, probably just because they had not enough reputation to post a comment. Before I could finish a helpful comment about the situation, that post got downvoted -5 and deleted because the user considered his own abilities "shitty" which was considered an illegal swear word by stackoverflow. Stackoverflow is like the Sunday school of programming, oh my ️🤦‍♂️😠
