I was humiliated because I participated in the development of a site to calculate the time in LoL and I dared to do it in pure html/css....
Let me explain: since I was a teenager, I have loved creating sites around the League of Legends community and my portfolio is therefore full of similar projects. I live in a city that is not necessarily tech and so it was complicated for me to find a coding school but I ended up getting there and being accepted. From the 3rd day, my classmates questioned me and asked to see some of my projects. Proudly, I show them https://wastedtime.io which is a project in which I voluntarily participated by making html/css allowing them to recover the time spent on LoL. When suddenly one of them asks me the question “how did I do the front”. So I told him I did pure HTML/CSS. So he looked at me with a haughty look, making fun of me for not using React, the strangest thing was that the others were following me and looking at me like I was a dinosaur. What's wrong with people? I had already done this with PHP on the Internet and now in real life I also get mocked with HTML and CSS without using libraries. I learned my lesson with PHP, but now I have to face the same ridicule with pure HTML/css because I'm "not good enough with my time"? Aren't the reactions a little disproportionate? I mean, do I have a few more years left without being singled out and called a dinosaur like php coders or is it already over for those who do pure HTML/css ?10 -
I am now a free man.
I got exempt from the military service by fattening myself up, I've never been happier for failing an exam (the medical exam) 😊
Now comes the time for extreme dieting and finding a job abroad to gtfo outta third world10 -
Typescript is a bit like putting lipstick on a pig..
That's it
Well ok PS damn kids get off the grass damnit12 -
So I am working on some xslt code I use to generate html. Technically xslt is supposed to be Turing complete? So it is producing html. Am I programming or not since it is generating html?
Yes, I have loops and branching logic in my xslt file. Though I am not really touching those portions right now. Just generating more output from more data input provided to the source xml data.
Is this still a better love story than Javascript?9 -
Something I learnt over the years is that it doesn't matter how fast your PC or Server is, people will produce a piece of software that will be capable of running slow on it.12

Kidnapping and torture are the worst crimes one can commit. If it was up to me, both would amount to life in prison without parole, no exceptions.9

rust, where pressing autoformat won't format your code but will format your comments which are just there because you're trying to keep track of the data you're going to parse and now that shit is off the page motherfucker can you not5

I've worked hard today*. I think I deserve to slack off for the rest of the week**.
* Napped for 4 hours

I prefer Tabs over Spaces.
If you ever say this in a room full of Space-supporters and this came out of you before you could stop it, just tell them...
We're talking about Microsoft Edge, right?12 -
Customer: I want the test-results. Format doesn't matter.
*sending xml report-files and screenshot of pipeline tooling report*
Customer: the files are hard to read. can you make html?
*creating html output and sending a screenshot of browser*
Customer: Thx for the screenshot. Ill take it.

Once again lost source of retoorscript. Wasn't that mad about it, there was some stuff that could've been better anyway.
I wrote a whole new interpreter in 48 hours or so.
It supports user defined functions and native functions that you can add to the VM yourself.
I did spend extra effort to make it faster than python. Who says python is slow never wrote a language.
It has garbage collection and it doesn't contain leaks.
Sad thing is that I have to write the string manipulation functions again. That's a lot of effort.
In the screenshot, obj is not existing, this is how you declare vars, just using it. Works directly as an object. It does keep all his properties if I would assign a value later to obj. Numbers can be property names for some reason.
It would be possible to write a webapplication with it. This requires a decent stdlib. A lot of work.
Other stuff that I'll still have to add:
- loops
- arrays
- if / else
The goal is to make the most easy understandable and easy to extend interpreter ever.
You can just do VM_register(vm, "name", ptr_to_your_function) to add any methods.
Ideas are very welcome19 -
The more JavaScript I need to review, the more I realize it's a hack on top of its previous design

Hey, @dfox
Is there anything we can do to help?
We miss you, and we want to keep devRant alive too.22 -
Did I miss something or I have to create and build a profile in the Broadcom support center just to download a free version of VMWare ?
The fuck ?8 -
I turned on slow query log just for funsies and was immediately humbled.
Looks like I've got my next sprint lined up.3 -
Tech lead doesn't focus on the fact that I solved the problem, only says stuff like:
- "yeah but this is why we are Agile"
- "did someone else review your code?"
- "you can't expect me to have to understand what the program does"
- "did you get permission from X to solve this problem?"
- "talk to someone else if you have any problem. only come to me with answers"
I guess I don't have to explain I don't like my tech lead.12 -
Mount an azure file share in an app service container? Sounds handy. Nice clicky-draggy wizard to set it up, pick your file share, type a path to mount it to, hit save.
And does it work?
Does it buggery.
And is there a helpful error message so you can see what you've done wrong?
In a pig's arse is there a helpful fucking error message.
"Application error", and a link to some "diagnostic resources" that displays the exact same error message, including the same link, so a link to itself, in an infinite recursive loop of rank, inhuman stupidity.
Let me see what's in the logs. Absolutely fuck all. No, wait! There's the html markup for the fucking useless error message I'm looking at in the browser. So the UI is telling me to fuck off, and the logs are recording that I have been told to fuck off.
But this is Azure. So there isn't just one place to look at the logs, there are many places to look at the logs. And they are all geologically slow and most of them don't work.
It's probably a firewall issue. I'll have a look later on if I can be arsed, but frankly I'd rather be performing cunnilingus on a lion.1 -
i'm happy to share with you, skyRant, a devRant client is now available in the playstore.
the real devRant app may have been removed from app stores. But devRant will never die!

I never realized USB Type C was built to be reversible. I always assumed that I got it right every time in the first try.
