Teaching 7-8 year olds the basics of web design. We're we're playing with CSS and changing colours of block elements and text. One girl put up her hand, completely confused as to why it wasn't working. Her code:

Section {
Background-color: rainbow;
}

Oh the wonderful mind of children

Removing a useless block of code.

This is by far the best please turn off your Adblock I have ever seen. I actually paused my ad blocker 😂

Typing "How to kill all the children in a block" in Google definitely doesn't bring up results related to programming.

My girl helping me fix a small server this morning. Chip off the block!

I just saw a website that hid the login and sign up buttons while ad block was enabled. No popups or anything asking me to disable the ad block.

Well played developer, well played.

Our programming teacher showed us some parts if his code the other day. When I asked him why he got an empty if-block in there he responded with "cause I only need the else-block"

Opens a website:

- oh ffs.

The DNS server I'm writing in PHP (largely taken from another project) is starting to work!

Next to just blocking queries it logs every blocked query so I can have stats :3

A little terminal output:

Client : Can you make some adblock?
Me : Why? There is a lot of good things already...
C : I mean... Listen carefully.
M : ok
C: i have some google ads and user blocks with adblock
M : yeah, that is normal
C : so i implemented adblock blocker which blocks adblock so that i can show the webpage plus ads when the user disables adblock.
M : i bet users hate that.
C : yeah, so users found out a way to disable adblock blocker which disables adblock blocker which i implemented to show the ads! So i cant earn revenue..
M : so what?
C : Can you make ad block block block block?
M : Sure. How much will you give me ?
C : 20 to 30 dollars
M : great ( the most generous client ever seen)

*couple of years later*

Client : can you make ad block block block block block block block block block block?
Me : i cant understand
C : count the number of block
If there is odd number of block i means to block ads.
If there is even number of block ads, it means to show ads making user to disable ads.
M : so just tldr your request this time
C : even number
M : ok how much will you pay
C : 20 to 30 dollars

*next day*
C : can you..
M : offline

Who in the fucking world made ads, made adblock and made adblock block?

My school blocks all social media websites, so i made a small social media site with chat and going to run it localy on my laptop and they cant block it :D

Tips for using a programming language that requires typing:

Me : "Naah! I'm not wasting my time creating a function. There's no way I'll ever use that code block again!"

Me to me (knee deep into the project) : "oh shit!"

Made this in Notepad++ using the Full Block and spaces

Windows 10!! WHAT THE FUCKING WHAT do you think you're doing?? Why am I getting a message saying admin has blocked my access to Services when I AM THE FUCKING ADMIN! And I sure as hell didn't block me!!!!!!!!

Tumblr will start blocking adult content on December 17.
Guess I'll be uninstalling the app

Dear Web developers,
Please don't user adblock-blocker, because if tye content you provide is really good, we will use developer tool to hide the dialog, if not, we just go to another website.

Just had a teacher tell the class how to use block comments...

You know what's fucking scary?
If you change a big block of code and it compiles, all tests are passed and you don't even get a warning.
Just wasted 20 Minutes because I tried to look for a mistake

When you delete a block of code that you thought was useless

My dearest devRant.

You have, yet again, caused a great deal of distraction. As much as this hurts me, I shall block you again...

I had a manager who wouldn't allow me to use bootstrap modals because he learned somewhere that adblockers block popups.

Corporate proxies that block resources web developers can't work without are the worst, preventing npm and composer from working at all. Easier to work from home than at work.

manager (not technical) : we need to add blocking feature to our social media.
me : adding block feature will take 2 weeks developing.
manager (not technical) : why it takes too much time to develop you can just delete the user from the database if a user blocked him.
me : hahahaha ... just ... delete ...

My boss is making me deploy a major change what hasn't had proper testing yet on the day I leave for 2 weeks. Save me someone.

I swear to God if I see one more dumb bastard try to mute uncaught exceptions using a try/catch block I'm going to gag him and slam his nuts in a car door until he knows just how the program feels.

"BOYYYYY, WAS I WRONG"

The company I work for (very big IT consultancy) has made the absolutely genius decision to put a block on the corporate proxy for GitHub. GITHUB. Because no fucking software developer ever needs to visit there. Their reason? "We don't want people publishing our intellectual property". Mate, I can fucking guarantee you that if unscrupulous bastards want to publish code against our T&C's, they will do so. Why make every body else's job harder and block it?!

But the best bit, you can submit a request (that is accepted without question) to get yourself an exemption. WHY THE FUCKING FUCK HAVE THE BLOCK IN THE FIRST PLACE THEN

To add to their fucktardery, they blocked the CDN that hosted stackoverflows css and JavaScript last year (CloudFlare) weeks after the alleged hack was fixed, and seemingly without any research at all. This obviously rendered stackoverflow unusable. Because again, why would a company full of engineers need to go there.

Morons.

When your boss sends you 25+ screenshots and messages via SMS at 11pm of issues he's found on a Sunday night... Why can you not just email it to me in the morning

Me every time I have to adjust the css:

*center that div*
*hit refresh*
Fuck, now that button is over there.
*adjust the padding and kajigger with the margin a little*
*hit refresh*
Ah, I'm an idiot. I forgot to set the display to inline-block.
*adjust the display*
*hit refresh*
WHY THE FUCK IS THE BACKGROUND RED NOW??!?!?!?

You see the blocks, see the requirements, then DRAW the scratch blocks and do block coding IN PAPER.

WTFFFFFFFFF

PSA: "sudo apt-get remove nginx" doesn't actually remove nginx. It will still continue to run and block port 80 on every reboot.

Until you run sudo apt-get autoremove, nginx-core and others still remain.

And that's how twenty seconds of scheduled downtime turns into 10 minutes.

Dammit nginx

Hey devBanner guys..i forget who handles the project

@kimmax and @CozyPlanes come to mind?

Is the devRant sticker big enough to fully cover my illuminated Mac book apple logo? Is it thick enough to block the light? If so, I may have to get one of those... Not feeling to proud of Apple lately.

That complete mental block when you know where you want to be and you know where you are but you look at the code and it's like looking at alphabet soup 😞

I hate Google for invading the world's privacy and try to avoid or block their services wherever possible.
Still, I'd love to work for them.

Am I nuts? That's f-ing irrational...

Tell me this code-block isn't sexy, I dare you. (thing for my abandoned website project)

Code block markdown in devrant? Would be nice 😊

Was looking for an unknown call blocker when I came across an app which says something like 'call blocker'. The first person in the reviews gave it one star with the text: it doesn't block sms.

IT OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE FUCKING TITLE/DESCRIPTION YOU FUCKING DIPWIT

So the school I visit blocks TeamViewer in their network for the reason that you could bring in malicious stuff.
They happily allow USB sticks though so that doesn't seem right.
Whatever, I used AnyDesk to get stuff from my PC at home (and I never got caught, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to ever use a school's computer again).

I love programming :)... I HATE HAVING NO IDEAS!!! >:( is it really that difficult brain?!

Fuck you, discord.
Fuck you for not using a monospaced font for the code block on mobile. Renders my beautiful function to align stuff useless on mobile...

That ironic feeling I get when I block an anti-adblocker popup/warning thingy with an adblocker...

Been a really sad day today. Learnt this morning that my friend had died. Couldn't concentrate on anything but managed to give a nice report to boss on video call. Tried coding, but could only code a dropbox before giving up and firing up PES. Was so absent-minded the AI kept hammering me. Closed the damn thing and tries coding again but realized the combo box was that would get done today. Fucking sucks when you lose a friend. Even harder to take that he died after falling of a rooftop. Fucking suck!!

it's amazing how much the mindset / mood you're in can influence your productivity. I had a minor spat with my teamlead earlier because I didn't get a lot done in the morning due to technical problems. That blocked me so much mentally that I hardly got anything done until I went home. I ate, calmed down, relaxed a bit and tackled my coding problem again. And within 45mins, I accomplished more than in most the workday.

Just saw this on FB..

Well I don't do much Webdev but that won't work for sure.

The first closing bracket ends the function Block -.-
Nice try Marketing team

My school has a proxy to block games and some other sites. I was thinking of ways to get around, when I remembered, "I don't have to code anything, I can use google translate!"

Just a few headers...

The moment you realize, you are not getting your own website's Google Analytics information because of your Ghostry and Ad block plus installed :|

Someone commented the import block with “This is the import section”

I really wanted to add a comment under it that said “no shit”

When you spend 1 hour trying to hide content by changing a class but then realise that you have a “display: block” overwriting said class 13 lines higher up. Fu** me. Fu** CSS.

That moment when you REALLY want to work on something new, but have no idea what to work on...

The amount of attempts to access my website is just too much O_O

Anyway in nginx to block access if login attempt failed after 3 times?

Spends a summer building a neat webapp for the father who subsequently receive an invoice of $2 for the s3 bucket. Father exclaims "what is this!?" Then proceeds to block the account. Love you Dad.

When you delete a block of code and you thought that it does nothing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does music help you or does it distract you from coding?
It mostly distracts me, but sometimes helps me when I'm doing simple UI work etc. Or when I want to block normal people (even quietly) sitting or waddling around.

weather is beautiful, sun is shining, I am feeling mischevious. Shall I block stackoverflow on our proxy on Monday?

Oh come on... Does even ecosia need to craft their truth. First party trackers aren't that better than third-party...
At least there is only one url to block. Easy.

I'm so fed up with this shit

We have a saying in the Netherlands: "You have no, you can get yes."

Because even if stuff gets approved by 3 managers... in comes the 4th to unapprove and block everything...

I don't mind ads in general, I just hate that they provide tracking capabilities. That's why I block all of them. (No, still haven't found a privacy friendly advertisement provider/platform)

Flexbox.. Where have you been all these years?!

When I initially started learning web development I remember thinking 'someone didn't quite think this through..' about centering block elements etc in the dom. Those days are now over, I still believe in miracles.

Why fix browser compatibility issues when you can just block what versions users can log in with?

For some reason, when testing if a block of code is firing, I always do console.log('fart'); More often than not I forget to remove it before going to production. I feel good knowing that's out there on dozens of sites right now.

Really loving Processing and HYPE.

Created this Image after a day's work. Here is 10x10 pixel block is an image of Mohanlal (An awesome actor from kerala).

I took the average color of each block and then matched it with the most dominant color of the sample images. And then drew the sample image onto that box.

Thanks Daniel Shiffman for the inspiration.

Siemens Step7 code block protection (PLC's).. It was designed to lock code that you don't want others to be able to read. All blocks are in a dbf file, so you just need to find the block record and uncomment one line, voila - source code available.

Given the massive use of Siemens PLC's on plants all over the world, and the simplicity of hacking via S7 protocol, usually Internet connected, it's a breeze to steal or modify the controllers code with possible critical implications.

Enter Stuxnet.

Sorry for the long rant, sorry if I'm a mess writing, but I need to let this out somehow.

I'm currently working as a freelance developer for a company here. I was hired to work as a front-end developer, mostly React stuff.

Suddenly, the back end developers left the project because they were offered better opportunities, and this meant chaos, as we're currently migrating an old project and building an MVP of what we're going to offer.

I sensed more danger coming, so I was preparing to leave the boat too, as it felt like a LOT of stress would come if I stood here.

Well, just when I was preparing myself, CEO looks into my LinkedIn page and sees I worked as a back end developer before, and using PHP too, which is the language our project's built in.

He organizes a quick meeting and throws my name as a developer for our project, telling me that I could work on it, and everyone agreed.

Everyone, except me, because I didn't know he looked into it and had this "emergency" meeting (mostly WhatsApp message exchange).

The case is, now that they spread this news, my name is on it and I HAVE to work on our project acting as, somehow, a developer and makeshift CTO.

It feels like a fucking leash, like "now you do this or else...".

Under other circumstances, I'd be jumping and throwing fireworks in my room right now.

Although I did build the f*cking project alone (which is quite a feature for my resumé), it's a mammoth of a project, I'm borderline crazy AND there's still data to migrate from the old model to the new.

The problem is: the people who recorded that data (which includes adresses, locations, user information) did it like they wipe their asses, there's no standards, some important data are missing and I have to validate more than 6k addresses.

I just don't know what to do. I would hire people too, but I joined this because I needed the money, so I can't.

It's hard, I'm lost, it's crazy, I'm crazy.

Sometimes my brain just stops, and I can't do anything code-related. And it makes me mad, because I LOVE to code!

This piece of crap is taking away one of the things I love the most, with a piece of my sanity and health too.

How I wish I could just send'em all to hell.

The company may be small right now. But the higher ups, they're kinda "big", and that would make my life hell if I just throw the towel now.

I don't know nothing anymore.

My school has blocked GitHub on it's internet network. Doesn't bother me much, since I always use a VPN on public networks, but I wonder why they would block github, but not stackoverflow...

This is how you ask your users to disable ad block on your website.

Isn't block chain basically something like git where people take turns pushing? What exactly is the breakthrough?

Keep it simple, but at the same time try to build it so that any known or unknown future change can be easily implemented. Do not block your future.

How can I use a custom DNS server on my schools network?

They seem to block any DNS that isn't their own. I've tried 8.8.8.8 and the new cloudflare one. Both blocked, it's a real issue because their default dns dies for about a minute every 12/24 hrs causing my VPN to go down.

How do they even block external DNS servers?

In a sense, we developers are writers who are changing world by our words.

Quit it with the quasi-friendly bullshit. If it's okay, why don't you fuck off and let me block whatever I want to block? It's ridiculous how many hoops I have to jump through just so I don't have to see ads on the internet. Even pi-hole doesn't help with this anymore. Now I need an Ad Blocker Blocker Blocker just so I don't have to wade through heaps of obnoxious ads every time I visit a page. It's so goddamn stupid.

"Multiline strings can be used as block comments in Python." Except in some places, where your code will pretty much blow up without any errors, because instead of commenting out a portion of an array, you've just added one big string element. And there's no other way to make block comments. And after actually commenting out every single line, your version control won't know how to merge it anymore, because there are now 100 changed lines instead of 2.

It's so annoying. Whenever you are at a hackathon, every damn team tries to throw these buzzwords- Block chain, AI, ML. And I tell you, their projects just needed a duckin if else.😣

SSH attack today. I asked my colleague if a rule in the firewall would block that. He tells me that yes and when I look, the rule is open for the SSH. 2 hours ouf downtime ...

Not just as a dev.. but as a person who does anything - getting over the mental block which keeps stopping you from taking up actual projects or completing them without abandoning them... the struggle is real... and I'm still struggling😅

Wk38:

Headphones.

Block out the stupid and the crazies talking to themselves.

Then go full brown trouser when someone taps on your shoulder.

Just got an email from a client asking if it was possible to block Pokemon GO on their premises.

Now, I know the answer to this. But just in case... would that even be possible?

You should be able to block people on devrant.

Just leaving this here without any context.

Tried to write a short article about Javascript IIFE modules, ended up explaining about function block scoping all the way to closures before I eventually get to the IIFE module explanation itself...

I'm really bad at this 😓

Dat moment when adblockers can't block porn sites' ads..

Has any of you worked with someone claiming he's a "Senior Software Engineer" but he does not know what he's doing? I'm not saying I'm a very good developer myself but I know how to differentiate a good code from a garbage code and architecture. It's really becoming a pain in the ass...

I've been staring at the same section of code for about two hours now. I want to solve this puzzle and design it properly. I'm desperately trying to resist the urge to hack it. Not sure I can hold out much longer...

Message aps that block phone numbers..

Why !

It's pointless as everyone just then says zero one two three four five six seven to get around the censorship !

>be intern me
>switch between JavaScript and python all day
>make some extra effort to comply with linters
>slowly forget how to write a for-loop block

Addition to my posts about getting accepted to faculty of information technology at the Czech Technical University in Prague:
I am now officially in the student life mode :D
Tasting the life at a dormitory and living on my own... (still okay considering that I don't have to work for money, I just ask my mom to send more money when I don't have anything to eat so I can buy the cheapest food I can find to live yet another day 😇)

Soo does anyone reading this post happen to be living at koleje Strahov? I'm in block 7 and you can find me by looking for an MSI gaming notebook with devRant stickers all over it. Hit me up and we can go out and have some beers :)

Coder's Block

Can we get a way to block users from seeing our posts? Two of my coworkers are on here now and it's only a matter of time before my boss appears. He's nosy like that

To the old me, that guy that was writing Doc Block by hand. wtf were you thinking?????

Just came across a site with TERRIBLE CSS and some sort of event handling to block the user from accessing the dev tools.
So in my Chrome, no F12 and no Ctrl+Shift+I.

Well, guess what. The Tools menu in the title bar also contains a link to Developer Tools.

Me: 1 Them: 0

try catch lost me 4 hours of time today because someone put an empty catch block!
FML

Assertequals("Fail","Fail") in the catch block.

This is just a sweet little harmless block of code, why should I unit test it?

3 months later...
Bug in production : This is why.

can't possibly think of a good enough rant to earn that 750++.

seems like a nice stress ball! but ranters block. haha so relateable right? ... right? pls.

What is block chain? I can't find any simple explanation

>when a sysadmin sets his local Linux firewall (gufw) where one of the rules had the end of the cidr block as the first IP address and the beginning of the cidr block as the last IP address.

Needless to say nothing worked. But the server was secure because nothing could connect to it 😂

The dating app "happn" allows you to report and block users, and among the options to choose from is "commercial profile". Happn also has a spam bot of their own, which sends you messages about discounts regularly. You can block and report their own bot as a commercial profile in order to stop it from spamming you.

Man, i hate these Windows 10 updates. Can't even boot up system properly anymore. Over an hour and half wasted with failed update installation EVERY SINGLE TIME!!

Happening 3rd time just today!

Why tf you trying to install update if its gonna fail?!!

I wish I could stop getting Windows 10 updates forever. Guys, Any ideas to block updates other than switching to linux?..

How can I completely block out unwanted calls and separate the good ones from the bad ones as I have a lot of issues with various topics at this time

Spent hours on UI design for a single page coz I just can't get it right ! Hate this ! Why it isnt just about programming :/

Some <super smart> person ran DHCP in production lab (without disconnecting from main network and/or using firewall)
, now the admin turned all the ports off and went home.
Traffic gens are also unavailable now so are upgrade servers.
Result: I can't run my work over the weekend and the reports are expected on Monday.

Not so bad : I'll run on Monday.
Bad part : This fucking shit takes 2 days to do everything on the rack.

I usually just block every possible entry point of errors instead of handling them directly with try-catch or on-error callbacks. Is that a good practice?

In case you ask, yes, i am that lazy.

After a week of getting new projects thrown at me, I finally get a block of time to start one of the larger, more complicated one.

30 minutes into planning it out, prepping the workspace and diverting 90% focus to said project, someone busts in with a more complicated top priority project that needs done by end of day.

I had to do a research project for school, and I found a website with all the information about my topic. The website would not let me read any of the information, because I had Adblock on.

Normally I would not visit the website ever again, but since I needed the information, I disabled Adblock. But guess what? IT STILL DID NOT LET ME VIEW THE INFORMATION. I had to close Firefox and open Safari to access the website. Fuck you adblocker blockers

Well, it happened, my school managed to block SSH

It also means no more git, and if this shit isn't fixed I might be forced to use TFS

Whoop de doo

Once upon a time i have seen a block of code in a while (2 > 1) ... it was in C (or so i remember), but still...

I just encountered a website whos ad block game is on-point. Your typical Ad overlay, that can be removed with developer options PLUS disabling scrolling.

Too bad, they disabled it only horizontally and forgot about diagonal scrolling

My big grievances when doing code reviews, lots of code reviews....

Constants. How difficult is to create constants files for reuse and readability?

Comments/java doc. I don't get any help by seeing this is an automatically generated block to get by check style.

*slap*

Really, H&R Block? A max password size? For something this important?

I am teaching myself a new skill.

Everytime my non-technical boss speaks about devOps, I am going to force the tetris theme tune to play inside my head to block him out.

I followed a tutorial on modding minecraft, I made a block that got generated into the world. Ohh my god I was hooked when I saw it in the game. Been loving it ever since

Mom gets mad and questions your CS education when she asks you how to block people on Facebook and you tell her to Google it.

My TL always calls if block as *IF LOOP*...😐

After all this time, I've finally managed to apply my programming skills in my day situation (thing I really wanted to happen).

A website had a block of text reeeally long and I couldn't select it all. Grabbed my terminal, opened vim and did a program to grab that block of text and save it into a file. Ran it and worked perfectly. I mean, isn't the best thing I've ever done but I feel very proud of myself. :)
