Trust your guts!
Just remember that your gut is designed to take the most tastey things and turn it into shit.2 -
Funny how clients demand for pixel perfection on apps when they took their sweet time on vacations.
Oh well, let's do it 💪6 -
How the fuck did the engineers at Tiktok pull off the American 'ban' so seamlessly. Take it down and then put it back with little loss to functionality.
How do you think they accomplished that with so many accounts.
Anyone works there can comment?8 -
I need to finally learn CMAKE at some point
I've been using make for many years now and it's good enough for me so I never bother with trying CMAKE but I can't be lazy forever5 -
Say what you want about spaghetti code written by either you yourself or other people, dealing with it is a massive requirement for becoming a dev.2

Markdown syntax is ambiguous and always forgiving (any text in a markdown document is valid markdown). Syntax is complicated and context-dependent.
I honestly think it might be one of the trickiest languages to parse.9 -
Android studio gradle nightmares, cli not picking active jdk, intellij maven horrorshow, vscode being the nexus of perdition itself. When I'm dead and gone, scatter my ashes over sublime text. NEVER encountered a headache, ever. The setting for autosave is one forum visit away. 1000s of utilities at my fingertips, with shortcuts, not silly plugins. Neither hangs nor fusses irrespective of how many windows, projects, tabs I've got open. Gargantuan code real estate despite having a file panel and file preview. The only guys who got monokai right. Can open random editors and fill them with notes without first saving. A more intuitive vcs gui than even github desktop. More lightweight to download than an beep.ogg. Never lags cuz it wants to be powered by a wind turbine. It's free. Literally all the sorrows that terrorise my dev in its peers, all gone
Yes, it's not "integrated" to my de, in the sense that its intellisense is a glorified autocomplete for existing tokens. I guess, tradeoffs must be made. If you know the language well enough not to grope handheld by the ide, or in dynamic typed languages where red, squiggly lines will not bring your software down to its knees, it should be head and shoulders above those conartistes

Mind Blown...
So I was in a meeting with another dev talking to a customer. He instructed the customer to open a command prompt in Windows. Then to use the SSH command. In my mind I was assuming he had told the client to install SSH beforehand. Later I started thinking about it and did a search. Apparently Windows 10/11 have a version of OpenSSH installed by default. I had used Windows 7 in the past and always installed git shell to get this. So in my Windows 10 I did the same thing. git shell also supports aliases and other nice *nix like scripting features. So it is always a win.
So hear I am realizing SSH is installed by default on newer windows systems. Like damn, I never thought I would see the day. I think I still prefer git shell, but having SSH by default is nice to know. I know they got the subsystem shit to get Linux. But not everyone wants or needs that.
I probably should learn what is in Windows these days. lol. I mean, besides malware.2 -
Statistics. Tbh, it is way more. Didn't use the codeium plugin for a long time. Regarding key presses i'm in the 0.10%. Longest streak is not impressive. 21 on codeium and 40 on github or so.
At this moment I'm very happy with the plugin, it knows me completely. * tab tab tab *. Almost always knows what I want to do. It advanced a lot last year, I did quit a few times on it last year for few months because it often sucked. Now it's perfect. Especially under VIM it's very cool!2 -
Another weird property of the devRant API:
For every POST request the url parameters need to be passed in the http body instead of in the URL, like this:
app=3&user_id=42
Wtf why?22 -
Communism: you have two cows. The state takes both and gives you milk for free. Then, the state sells one cow overseas for a bull, breed cows and get everyone unconditional free milk.
Capitalism: you have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. You start breeding cows and selling milk. Then, Nestle comes and makes you go out of business.23 -
What color are things that are smaller than 200 nm? You can't see them in an optical microscope anymore, so they're… they have no color at all. Yet, they exist and are perfectly visible to a scanning electron microscope.
The visible light itself has just too long of a wavelength to bounce off of an object this small.
So yeah, there are truly colorless things that aren't void.8 -
To all of you… PLEASE get into the DIY electronics hobby. Learn how to solder. Learn how to 3D-print. Learn basic circuit design.
The monopoly on electronics production know-how can and will be used as a mechanism of oppression. We the people should be able to rebuild the modern world from scratch out of salvaged components if need be, independent of centralized institutions.3 -
*Reading a bug report's summary*
'Object x is displayed incorrectly when playing on PC in resolution 1024x768 or Android tablets w/ 4:3 Aspect Ratio'
*facepalms*
You, sir, are failing at basic math && basic logic, among other things.
1024x768 _has_ an Aspect Ratio of 4:3.
If only you had bothered checking, you would've know that the issue is purely related to the Aspect Ratio && !just that one resolution.7 -
Merry x-mas.
May your uptime be long, oncall phones turned off and alerting systems quietly down for the upcoming week.1 -
What's with the fucking dogshit companies requiring me to pay to unlock content inside and requiring subscription AFTER ME BUYING THE GAME.
Now, this is happening the second time.
I refunded GTA 5 after this shit happened but then THEY BANNED MY ACCOUNT FOR REFUNDING IT.14 -
Microsoft is a greedy piece of shit company. I hate them. They continuously make my life harder. I'm an arch user, but I had to install Windows on another laptop. Guess what? They literally to throttle the downloads for the ISO itself unless you use their ass Media Creation Tool. Recently, they also removed some drivers from the said ISO, which literally can't be found anywhere, so they pretty much force you to use their shitty media tool from another Windows machine to get a working installation.4
