Friend : Hey bro I made an awesome program which shows your future wife's name.
Me : Hey that sounds interesting, show me the source code bro !!
Friend shows the code :
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string first_name , last_name;
cout << "Enter your first name\n";
cin >> first_name ;
cout << "Enter your last name\n";
cin >> last_name ;
cout << "Your wife's name is " << "Mrs " << last_name << "\n";
}
Me : Dude you are gonna crack Google some day :P17 -

Am 23, I plan to have 4 kids in the future.
This will be their first names
1. Ruby - Female name
2. Pearl - Female name
3. Haskell - Male name
4. Python - Last born. Most loved. But am sure he will hate me for his name😂😂
All I need is a wife now or a girlfriend could do🤔...38 -
So yeah, the name change is done. Me making a joke out of being called a code slut clearly backfired and people just started calling me a slut or inferring I was a slut or something unsavory because of an online username. Lesson learned. A few lessons, in fact.
Anyway thanks for allowing the name change @dfox and @trogus. Now, back to ranting.39 -

Lets assume my name is Levi Secondname (half of it is correct)

I took a civil service exam October last year, the list of passers where posted in the government website last December. My name wasn't on the list. I was heart broken. :'(
I wasn't able to apply for the job I wanted. I thought that I'm so stupid I can't even pass an exam.
I was depressed for almost a month.
Then yesterday, a friend of mine was searching google since I refuse to tell her my middle name.
Suddenly she exclaimed, wow! you're a civil service exam passer!
I was shocked beyond belief!
I checked the website, my name is still not there. HAHA. (deep inside it hurts)
I cursed my friend for trolling me but she swear that it's true. She sent me the link and BOOM! my name is on the list of APRIL passers!
WHAT THE HECK???
i just verified through phone that I actually passed and that it was an error on their website that included me on the wrong list. I don't know whether to be angry or pleased. lol XD8 -
SQL gives me a hard on right now.
Two tables, 954 rows and 9414, connected via foreign keys and shit.
SELECT a_id,name,shit FROM table1 a JOIN table2 b ON a.id = b.a_id WHERE ((lower(name) LIKE '%lorem%') OR MATCH(name) AGAINST('lorem' WITH QUERY EXPANSION) OR name SOUNDS LIKE 'lorem')
and you got fuzzy search with resolved keys to another table in 0.047 sec, fuck me dude.5 -
What's so wrong with having no name for my position?
I mean, it's only me in this startup.
I AM THE STARTUP, DAMMIT.
Do I really have to start calling myself a CEO just to appear trustworthy?
But how does one become a Chief if there's nobody to supervise?
Hustler? Rockstar? Too 'startup'ish and just sad.
Entrepreneur? Founder? Sounds like something a scammer would use.
I'll just stick to leaving my position blank on my business card, thank you.20 -

Fuck, I just lost a node module name.
A few days ago I had an idea for a node module, checked npm to see if the name was taken and it was not. Today I was going to publish it and found out someone registered it 2 days ago.

Had a customer call - the guy's name was "Kevin", which in Germany isn't even a name, but rather a diagnosis for stupidity. However, he was really competent and into the stuff. So what now, readjust my prejudice? Nah, he had an Asian family name, so I instead learnt that being of Asian ancestry trumps "Kevin" as given name.2

If you are teaching a newbie HTML and basic JS using ES6/ES2015 features, the "Hello World" app probably would be:
<!-- index.html -->
<html>
<body>
<div id='container'>
<h2> Enter a Name and Hit The Button</h2>
<input id='name'>
<button id='change-name'>Say Hello</button>
<h3 id='name-display'></h3>
</div>
<script type='module' src="./index.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
//index.js
import {sayHello} from './hello.js';
let displayArea = document.getElementById('name-display');
let input = document.getElementById('name');
let button = document.getElementById('change-name');
button.addEventListener('click', () => {
//displayArea.innerHTML = "Hello World"
displayArea.innerHTML = sayHello(input.value);
});
//hello.js
export const sayHello = (name='World') => {
return `Hello ${name}`;
};

I have now turned the name board in my cubicle to hide my name.
Why you ask? Not because I don't like my name, or dislike my name board (there's this little design on it which is just delightful).
It is to make it a bit more difficult for new morons who don't know who I am or where I sit. Can't do much more than that because I have a desktop.

Okay ... Windows, I really tried to be nice, but that's it. You get off my ssd right now ...
Just got the error: "filename is too long - unable to delete file" (full name incl. path)

I mean, sure ... Long file paths/names are a thing and this is why there are limitations. I am totally fine with it!
But Why the hell allows windows you to create those files if it is unable to delete these files later ...
I don't get it. Maybe I am just hit my head to hard as a child and someone may enlighten me ...

I recently saw someone complain because the name registrar would not name their daughter “is” because of their system (https://devrant.com/rants/1154582/...).
I have something to add.
Where I am from (India), local registrars intentionally misspell your name on the papers because than they can charge to a fee to fix it.
That’s why I hate India, too much bargaining for everything. This has happened twice in my family and both times we have refused to pay them.3 -

I just love PHP. You can do so much awesome stuff with it. Here, let me show you:
How to READ a private member of an object:
$reader = \Closure::bind(function ($instance, $name) {
return $instance->{$name};
}, null, $instance);
$value = $reader($instance, $name);
How to WRITE a private member of an object:
$writer = \Closure::bind(function ($instance, $name, $value) {
$instance->{$name} = $value;
}, null, $instance);
$writer($instance, $name, $value);
See? Just like that. This is really amazing stuff. I don't know of any other languages that allow this.11 -

Can you help me to come up with a company name?

and these are my current ideas:
appswat.com

Anaconda. Quite fitting a name to something that fucks up python environments so thoroughly. Ironic too, given that it was meant to simplify. Anaconda doesn't give a shit about the python that came with the distro. And all packages installed with pip are only visible to anacondas python. Not a single note of caution during installation. Or a best practices guide for the newbie. Just chaos. Utter chaos. The price of being a noob had been paid.8

My name, by western standards, is a "misspelled" version (it's actually the ancient Greek original). And here in SA there are some with the "normal" version of the name.

What's worse is that is this is more prevalent when I WROTE IT ON A PHYSICAL APPLICATION FORM. NOBODY IS NOT GOING TO NOTICE IF THEY ACCIDENTALLY ADD A LETTER TO THEIR OWN NAME!13

Quick and dirty job to get some data into a DB wasted my entire evening.
Created table with few columns, tried writing to it from NodeJS app and it kept complaining I wasn't providing values for columns that didn't even exist. After ages pissing about decided that the DB gods had cursed this particular table so created a second one with same DDL. Now it worked first fucking time. Then it finally dawned on me, I'd managed to pick a reserved table name and the RDBMS didn't think to give me a warning when I created it. Not only did it not warn me but it kept going as it nothing was the matter and didn't report the extra columns on a SELECT *. -

Don't want to just prefix it with "better-" or something since a) that's probably subjective and b) it's a bit on the arrogant side9 -
Ok, so currently in my Java course on Udemy we are going more in-depth into scope and visibility, and I'm currently doing the challenge for it.
So I'm doing it and the challenge is to have every single name of a variable or method be called 'x' (just to better understand scope and vis, he mentions how this is not a good practice AT ALL) with the exceptions of the classes and scanner var (but there is an optional challenge to also make them named x).
Now that I progressed into it, I noticed something. This challenge is literally making me make my code so DRY and outside-the-box-thinking that, what if, this could be a practice?
Not the naming everything in your code the same var name, but doing that at the start and then renaming the variables after coding. Because right now, I feel as though I am using SO MUCH less code than if I had the liberty of naming my classes, methods, and variables different things, it's actually kinda cool.
I'll attach my code from the challenge to this after by it really amazed me how well my code looked compared to my previous challenges and even personal projects!1 -
Found a nice domain name, and I intend to buy it to host my personal website and maybe blog (if I get around to write one day). But now a great question arises: where do I buy it?
Do you have any advice on a cheap and nice registrar and hosting provider?14 -
I work so hard to name things well and yet last year's code is always full of esoteric and misleading nonsense.3

How would you approach choosing a fairly short but meaningful domain name? Common words are obviously going to be taken.
I have a handful of domain names used for different things, but my main one is 17 characters long and made up of 2 words and not particularly interesting (my surname + another word). It's relatively easy to read out to people over the phone, but inputting it in a phone handset or on a device without a keyboard (e.g. setting the hostname + domain of a media centre with a remote control) is a bit tiresome.
Doesn't even have to be something I can say easily as I mainly want it just for "infrastructure" purposes rather than to host a website etc.
I'd probably use it for sign-up e-mails to reduce the amount of spam/newsletter mail (I do generate a separate address for signing up to most services) but other than that wouldn't be using it regularly for e-mail.
But I don't want something meaningless like abcxyz.1 -
Some devs are just plain lazy. Will use:
$_GET[name]
in one line then
$_GET["name"]
further down. WTF?5 -
Okay soo... I have been working on a "notepad" script using bash. I basically have finished it but it lacks one thing. Verification if the user has typed anything! I started searching on google how i could do that, and found nothing (lol).
I'm asking help from you people :D
Here's the code that doesn't work.
while [[ $name != 'name' ]] || [[ $name == '' ]]
do
read -rp "What would you like the file name to be? The file extension is .txt!$(echo -ne '\n: ')" name
echo "Enter a valid file name please."
done
There's probably one small thing wrong anyway lol
Thanks already!3 -
Whose idea was to name FaaS "serverless"? It's just a terribly misleading name which can confuse newcomers.3

WTF Windows?
If you call the API function to lookup the name of a service it expects a buffer and the size of the buffer.
If the supplied size is smaller than the service name it returns the number of characters (excluding the null-terminator) of the service name.
You can allocate a buffer for the service name and call the function again to receive the service name.
Except now Windows wants to know the size of the buffer including null terminators.
That took me a moment to figure out. -
When I shared my terminal setup with a bit of ricing to a Telegram group, someone asked what my terminal was. I said it was just the default terminal on my Fedora 27. Not that XTerm stuff or any other extra terminal emulators. He still insists that every terminal has a name. He's right.
I shall name my terminal "Default".3 -

SSL cert problems
realize new pem file has a different name so now after going down a debug rabbit hole I'm updating the places that used the old file name with the new file name
i guess could've just changed the file name, but at this point im committed (might as well leave the file name alone so i can hope to be less confused next year if the new file's name changes again) and just hoping i can fix the fucking config
i just want shit to work2 -
Pick one:
> Awesome username but ugly real name.

That frustrating moment when you create a source file with random name and later which becomes the final name coz changing the file name and linking it becomes so damn vauge.

Do you guy know that there is a lot of short query name like "f" in web development?
We are discourage from using single character variable name and the query key is too short. Is there any specific reason for using short query name?6 -
SonarQube just showed my package name as duplicated code because I have a second class in the same package with the same package name -.-

I have a function that receives 2 parameters: a string and a max numer of characters.
It returns an array with the partitioned string.
Example:
function name("hi, I love devRant", 10);
//return:
array(2){
[0] ->"hi, I love"
[1] ->" devRant"
}
Now.... what would be the appropriate name for that function?10 -

When coworkers leave their laptop unlocked we find a commonly used variable name and replace all name references with 'poop'

TIL that Debian package names are not allowed to have underscores in their names. Toast my tomatoes. As if file name conventions, like discouraging colons, would not be enough, you just added another useless bit of entropy to all the clusterfuck information just because you established a naming scheme yourself where you delimited the versions and date with an underscore from the package name.2
