If you start your npm install script at exactly 11:52:04 on New Year's eve, it will finish at exactly midnight.

Start off your 2019 right.

Found on 2019's Stack Overflow Annual Developer Survey

The most stupid question you can ask at an open source software event?

"So, this system, is it open source?"

I asked this to a guy at a stand about the system he was presenting (forgot the project name).

He stared at me with a wtf face and then replied with "....yes.... of course.... this is an OPEN SOURCE software event?!"

I felt quite fucking stupid.

Fellow front end coworker got asked via email today to "capitalize the '2019' in the headline".

Still laughing over this.

Turns out I got paid mostly for deleting code in a year 2019.

I thought this was accurate! In 2019, I am going to conquer these things

lel, we've been robbed 10 minutes before midnight. We've been beaten by a hip bone looking stick. Sitting now in the emergency lobby. That was an adventurous start into 2019. 😄

Me: Visual Studio 2019 is acting weird. I should close it and re-open.

Me: *Clicks X in top right of instance window*

Dialog: Not enough memory to perform this operation.

I/O 2019

What my 2019 will look like...

"Git is useless, connect to the server and edit the pages" - My boss, 2019

And beleive it or not, he's also a teacher. What a great and wise man, we should build a statue for him!

Participated in Smart India Hackathon 2019 Software edition and won 2nd prize :)

why in 2019, are browsers so fucking inconsistant.
im not even doing anything stupidly complicated.

simple UL List conataining links and background colors on the LI's....

and yet, every single browser is different, or in IE's case completly lost the plot.

2019 resolutions/goals recap: (non-personal ones)
1) Improve diet (did; e.g. ramen and fast food to clean keto)
2) Lose weight (did; lost 24 pounds!)
3) Find a good job (did, twice)
4) Buy a harp (did not; large and expensive, no place to put it, and I have small children who would absolutely break it)
5) Keep house clean, even if it's by myself (did, somewhat; I cleaned some, managed to get one other person to clean semi-regularly, and another sporadically)
6) Work on social awkwardness (did; read and applied Dale Carnegie's The Art of Public Speaking, which netted me my last job offer. Still pretty awkward though)
7) Move out of the desert (did not; not enough money, and job didn't allow remote work)
8) Stop bloody waiting on people (did not; still very guilty of this...)

I don't remember the rest 🙁 didn't write them down last year. But I still accomplished 5 out of the 8 I remembered, with one being a pass, so 5/7!

-----

2020 resolutions/goals:
1) Finally move out of the desert
2) Invest 20% of my income every month
3) Reduce bills by 20%
4) Solve/address some health issues
5) Make a schedule so things regularly get done around the house, e.g. cleaning
6) Find some friends and make time for them
7) Replace Debian with something else
8) Revamp my backup system
9) Be proactive and stop waiting on people
10) Build a (stationary) coil gun for fun

1- Try not to die
2- Try not to take someone's life
3- Try not to create a new life

Thought of this but no one would truly get it anywhere else...

Idealistic goals:
1. Learn python
2. Start a project and see it through

Realistic goals:
1. Learn how to initialize variables in python
2. Make plans for 2019

A female boss I worked for, pulled an employee retention tactic that still gives me the chills.

She paid dogshit salaries to all her employees. And yelled at them enough to keep them overworked and burnt out.

When one of them tried to resign, she said "fine you can leave us but I won't be giving you any salary slips, no experience/recommendation letter and neither acknowledge that you ever worked here.
You get to leave the company when I decide for you.
You have already stayed here so long that if you decide to disappear tomorrow it will leave a gap on your resume in your next interview."

What's the size of the devRant family currently at? And what's your hopeful projects for 2019? @dfox

2009: it works on my PC.
2019: it works on my container.

Apparently some universities think it's acceptable to take grads' money, teach them a few months of Visual Basic and tell them they're ready for employment in 2019.

Visual Studio 2019 is gonna look awesome… even though I don't get why the new "blue" theme will be violet. 🤔

Award for best survey 2019 goes to...

I've decided that my 2019 will start from February 1st. January is a free trial month.

First day in 2019:
> Over slept and came to work 1.5 hour late

2019 will be revolutionary !

Now... Are you trying to tell me that super-duper-engine is shorter and more memorable than Gterm... Github... Pls

Apple, 2018: We are pleased to announce support for Dual SIM on iPhone Xs.

Apple, 2019: We are pleased to announce support for 3.5mm headphone jack.

Make it happen.

2018 was a dumpster fuck for me. I was looking for 2019.

Oh boy, I was wrong.

I had a flight booked for 3rd Jan. I was supposed to go to Delhi, back to my job.

On 2nd Jan evening, I got a high fever. 103 F and my heartbeat were around 140. My brother took me to Hospital and after the doctor checked me.

There were no other symptoms. Only high fever. The doctor told me to do some blood test and give me a dose of Antibiotic.

Next day all the result came back negative. Doctor give me 3 days of antibiotic course and told eat light.

After 3 days of getting the 4g antibiotic in my body, Nothing changed. The fever was there and no symptoms.

on the 3rd day, the doctor increases the course to 2 days and told me to get more blood test. I also had to get 4D sonography and Heart ECG and its sonography.

on the 5th day, nothing changed. I still had a high fever. All the blood test were negative.

On the 6th day, I was admitted to the hospital and my medicine was changed to high does of broad-spectrum antibiotics and lots of new blood test.

There were taking blood from one hand and giving antibiotics to another.

After the broad-spectrum antibiotics, my fever went down to normal but all the 17 blood test I did came completely negative.

On the 8th day, we went to an infection specialist. He checked all the report and ask us to do a very details sonography. After all those things he said it most likely staphylococcus infection.

So here I am, making a chart of my temperature every 2 hours and taking two tablets every day.

This last 10 was very hard. There was a point where I was thinking "this is it. I am gonna die".

I am still waiting for a very detailed blood report which takes 5 days to create. I will get it after 2 days.

So after lots of medicine and over 15+ reports, Here I am working from home.

What a wonderful start of 2019.

Goals for 2019

- get a Raspberry Pi
- Land a job in development
- graduate
- get my driver's license
- buy a car
- learn a new language (any suggestions?)
- rant more on DevRant

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 🎇🎉

This is simply ridiculous

"Welcome to The United Arab Emirates. Warning - you have activated your mobile device overseas. Significantly higher charges may apply. While you're here, it will cost up to $20.89/min + 40c connection fee to make calls, $5/min to receive calls, $3.50 to send a TXT and data is charged $51.20/MB. It's free to receive a TXT. (...)."

Not Shure if other carriers are better, but with roaming on this rant would have, probably cost like 10$ :D

websites without ssl in 2019

!rant

TLDR; Lost passion after a few years, wasted a year, went on vacation without really any technology, found my passion and am excited as hell for 2019.

After programming for nearly 5 years, I’ve hit the point of not wanting to program anymore. I’ve burnt myself out, and haven’t had a vacation in 8+ years so we’ve finally decided to take one. I’m not going to say it’s a full blown vacation, but a semi-vacation since it’s with my parents also so I do have to do a few things I’d prefer not to such as meeting relatives.

I didn’t have the motivation to work on any new projects, finish any projects I actually enjoyed, I just did a few side projects for friends that took me anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 minutes every few weeks. In general this year has been garbage in development terms, I’ve lost passion. It felt like a chore, I didn’t find the entertainment I once did.

I’ve been away from technology for about 2 weeks now, and have less than a week left before I fly back and I’m excited as hell. During this break away from technology (with the exception of browsing devRant once in a while), has me excited to work on many projects and actually start learning and improving my skills. I’ve actually gained the motivation to work on 2 projects that have been planned for nearly 2 years now, I’ve noted down ideas for them, made diagrams, etc, just never had the passion to develop them. 2019 is going to be one hell of a year, since I get back almost at the end of November, and December I have a few business meetings and University exams that I have to prepare for. Excited to see these projects through, one is going to be for the hell of it, just been a passion project I’ve wanted to do for years now. The other project is actually a project for one of my sub-companies that hasn’t officially released since I didn’t have the passion to work on it. (Not going to go into full detail yet about the companies/projects, going to save that for the future)

Alongside that, I’m excited since my main company that is totally unrelated to technology, is set to do some massive moves during 2019 also. Looking forward to that, and being able to launch my dream company (the sub-company I mentioned before).

Time for sleep now, goodnight! (Wrote this after a few drinks and in the middle of the night, hopefully it’s not full blown garbage)

Goals For 2019:
- Lose 15~20 Kg on weight
- Learn some NodeJS, react and react native.
- Create a decent Portfolio
- Plan for my own project
- Wait for my new unborn yet baby

Anyone know how to convince a client that machine learning will not be a magical solution to all their problems???

2019 is gonna be super interesting.

missed a plane. the first trip to my country is after 24 hours.. had to pay for another ticket..

yeah, welcome 2019

My dev Golas for 2019:

1. Control the chaos in the startup.
2. Go on trip or trekking
3. Lose at least 10 kg. (currently 83 kg)
4. Start waking up before 9 o clock
5. Help maintain a open-source library.
6. Make a open-source library.

It's almost 2019 and CRLF is still a fucking thing

Top Books for 2019

Visual studio 2019

Both are very powerful and extendable

Last week I got assigned to an important AND interesting project!

Today I got a raise!

2019 is starting off nicely :)

We're starting to "insult" each other in NATO phonetics

what a way to start 2019

How are there in 2019 still people thinking ip bans are a good/working way to ban people of of game servers/websites?

Here is my 10 year challenge 😂🤣

I am hyped for the upcoming AMD CPU Zen 2. 7nm baby.

NOT saving the world in 2019. I already did that in 2012 when the Maya calendar ended and wasn't being thanked - on the contrary, people said "haha look, nothing happened".

I forgot Visual Studio 2019 was a paid software until IT emailed me that my software request was forwarded to accounting 😅😅 I'm so used to just having the community edition on my home desktop.

It’s 2019, why is Maven still a thing?

✓ Survive 2018 with Flutter
✓ Survive 2018 with PHP
❌ Survive just today with fucking React and Js

2019 gonna be fun 🥂

I know I can't be the only one thinking safari is the new IE, like "it has to work on safari" makes me way more sad than "it has to work on edge"

IE is default unsupported in my company

This time around I figured out that fucking safari can't work properly with dates!

Like:
new Date("2019-05-16 11:00") // won't work
new Date("2019/05/06 11:00") // will work
new Date("16/05/2019 11:00") // won't work
new Date("11/05/2019 11:00") // will work, but it's November the 5th

Ok, the last 2 bugs are due to English&American who can't understand how dates work, but still... WHY IS SAFARI THE ONLY DIFFERENT ONE?

My first post of 2019.

One month to Valentine's Day, Last year's was spent with beer, the pervious with her. This year I want to spend with her and beer.

I somehow feel I will get neither.

Its 2019. I was just tasked with writing code to print to a dot matrix printer.

I miss the old times when the only source of learning a tech stack was through reading its documentation. Fast forward to 2019 where every tom, dick and harry has done a nanodegree..

My app made 18% more in 2019 than it did in 2018. I want to keep that going, and I'm working on another app I hope to publish this year.

Oh, and I bet the duck looks even better in layered April fools mode

Visual Studio 2022 compiles our internal c++ cmake project as a mix of x86 and x86_64 binaries, then fails to link.

VS 2019 correctly compiles everything as x86_64.

No idea why. And, obviously, it's not a documented problem.

Valve is definitely on drugs, their items file is a complete mess.

A FUCKING FETCH OF A NPM MODULES IN CDNJS

you know what's the reason?

node_modules

Fucking kill me unless you're some dumb bitch who uses npm modules like some braindead motherfucker who doesn't know what a number is, node_modules takes only an average of 3.6MB

Compared to RubyGems who takes 40+
Or Pip

Seriously stop this. I wanna hang myself because my 2019 put me in a shit mood

const happy = new Year(2019);

In 2013: *opens cmd* "look at me I'm a hacker, I can hack your Facebook"

Now in 2019 : *copying some python examples* "I'm a hacker now, I made a bot for hacking your discord server"

Happy birthday to my self. Away from my family and friends, alone in the city alone in the office pushing keys on keyboard to deliver the project.

It's been very difficult year for me, both physically and mentally.

I hope next year will be better than this.

Fuck you 2019.

PS: birthday and end year selfish.

Rust is so modern, Google has future posts about it ;)

Back to the future, I guess..🚀

2019 broke me
2020 opened my eyes

Howto make people panic in 2019.

Switch off the router.

• Learn new things!
• Continue my programming projects (mostly C#), and eventually publish them!
• Create more programming side-projects!
• Create more music, of various genres, and finish unfinished tracks! (I love music 💙)
• Buy a violin, or another instrument! (I already play harpsichord and piano, and I love them both)
• Buy a new PC setup! (maybe?)
• Get a driver's license!
• Create more music sheets!
• Create more custom maps, on rhythm games! (like osu! or Cytus / Cytunity)
• Make new friends, and meet with my older ones more!
• Go to places, new and old!
• Open myself more to others! (I'm kinda shy)
• Do my university's exams, properly!
• Do my conservatory's exams, also properly!
• Try drawing!
• Try all sorts of new things!
• Get a cat into the family! (I love cats, but I never got one because I don't know how to raise them, yet)
• Be more confident about myself!

And... yeah, I guess that's it :D
What about you?
Have a happy 2019, everyone! 💙

sudo apt remove --purge 2018

I never yell at co-workers but I did get yelled at quite a lot of times (2019 - pre covid).

I was leaving the office on time.

Just another reason I support people working from home.

Ok, so google asked me to remove SEND_SMS and RECIEVE_SMS permission from my app before January 9th, 2019 or I should remove my app from play instead. F***ing Great.

"We regret to inform that there will be a slight delay in processing the Dec 2019 salary"
When you get this mail at the very end of the year! 😵

Goal for 2019:
start learning kotlin

In 2018 everyone wanted to be in crypto. In 2019, we will find out who really wants to be in crypto. 💸💸💰

Finally closed an Epic that was started on April of 2019 to migrated everyone off the old Jenkins server. Finally completed, nearly a year later and under a different project manager and director.

Goals for 2019:
Register a company and make 20k revenue while finishing University.

My goal for 2019 is to finally get into game development and release my first game on itch.io!

Also I want to finish a few side-projects, as always...

2009: "this Autocorrect feature will guess all your mistakes and correct them."
2019: *has to guess what autocorrect might messed everywhere*

Visual Studio 2019: there’s really no reason for me to explain why this is the best editor without question.

Anyone else sick of "2019 anyone?" comments on YouTube?

In 2019 I want to get better at PHP & React & stop being afraid to try & fail! I do a lot of front end work, backend still baffles me a lot. Time to get uncomfortable! 👩🏼‍💻🤓

It's 2019 and text-overflow: ellipsis still doesn't work with multiline texts. What the actual fuck

Hey everyone! This is a long one so get comfy~

TLDR; I'm glad to be back in the presence of all you awesome people. 2019 was a dream and I have a lot of you to thank for that.

If you've noticed, I've been away for a while. I took a sabbatical from a lot of my socials (including github - or at least public github :( this summer. Let me explain:

In late April/early May, I applied and got an internship at RBC (a big bank company in Canada) found out I'm getting flown out to San Fran for a talk I gave at a summit, and got accepted to this 2 week physics [Quantum Cryptography] camp @ UWaterloo. So I had quiet the summer. In order to throw myself into work and friends and all that, I decided that I was going to take a break. Although I took a break from Github I was still active on Github Enterprise for my job but outside of that I didn't do much.

Don't worry though, now that it's fall/winter season, I'll be in my room for way too long so it's back to the usual grind. Currently, I'm in the process of planning a hackathon, prepping for picoCTF 2019, filling out University applications, all while dealing with school :) I've got a lot of projects/things coming up so ya'll will hear more from me :D

2019 goals...

Launch my app in Play store
Build more projects
Make work fun for client
Earn more
Learn learn and learn....

Anyone interested for hacktoberfest 2019?

Deploying django in windows server 2019 using IIS. Why? Because client is a microsoft fanboy. Nothing is working till now.

Story time;

Major project, multi million budget, huge business and IT coordination, board level status updates, meeting started back in March 2018 for a Go Live of Aug 2019.

Based on draft requirements (and experience) I request the test environment be built for half of the work. Turns out that no one told Server Eng and they are out of space in both dev and prod until Q2 of 2019. We went from Green to Red because a Service Request.

I only expect two (2) things guaranteed in year 2019: test and compilation errors

Me at my new job: Can I please install a version controlling system to keep my codes organized?

Boss: why do you need it? can't you just navigate the directories?

Me: I will go mad in 2 years!
