Rant that involved my manger hit a decent amount of ++.
Just seen him downloading devRant.

My wife wants me to learn another language. I told her I was already fluent in half a dozen languages, and decent at ton more.

Apparently computer languages don't count...

Decent view to start coding, right?

10 years later...

A decent internet connection, at last!

Let the downloads begin!

My parents have never had a router faster than 10Mb/s. When our most recent one finally bit the dust, I urged them to buy a decent one, because everyone uses the internet now. LOOK AT THE SPEED WE'VE BEEN MISSING.

Things I'm half decent at: Writing code
Things I am absolutely the worst at: Managing projects

Things I got employed for: Writing code
Things I do: Managing projects

When you think you are a fairly decent programmer, then you try to align two buttons next to each other in CSS

Back in ninth grade.
Ouch..
(But I made a pretty decent game with it xD)

I'm a self deprecating PHP developer.

..there's a decent pun in this thought, somewhere..

Finally I can afford a decent gaming laptop to pretend I am programming

So last weekend I started collecting hardware for a small scale cluster at home to test scalability of my software. Making some decent progress.

Tomorrow I will replace the switch and this weekend I will set up storage so I can start my first application

!rant my PC is starting to look decent!

Clients can such cheapskates, client asks me for hosting options, I suggest Webfaction ($10/m), decent service, storage etc. Client goes and buys ($20/year) hosting, storage space 2GB. Client has 2.9GB worth of emails. Now am charging said client ($110) for migration.

FOR GOD'S FUCKING SAKE! IF YOU OPEN SOURCE YOUR LIBRARY AT LEAST REPLY TO THE ISSUES IF YOU CAN'T PROVIDE A DECENT WORKING SAMPLE!!!!

I love it when companies expect you to care about their vision and act like the work is 100x more important than it is.

Oh yes and of course no overtime pay or decent salary that'd be too much!

😒😫🤯

The problem with my life is acceptance from others. Validation (almost wrote vladiation).

For instance, I finished my course in Advanced Java Programming a few days ago. Supposed to be a year course or some shit, finished it in two months. They told me I don't need to go to the remainder classes and I could write the examination. Got the certifications, passed with flying colours.
Well done me? No, fuck you me. "It's not through Oracle, so it's completely useless. Har har you wasted your measly salary on a course and it means nothing". You know what? Fuck you and fuck validation. I will validate myself from now on.

Anywhom, what a start to a shitty rant. Let's go over some generic points so I can finally make my avatar.

IE can suck a duck ("oooh you made it and it runs fine in every fucking browser except fucking IE - slow clap).

Chrome RAM usage can suck a duck, two times. (just generic post, don't actually give a shit - I use Firefox).

People who can't use one fucking indentation standard ("oooh two spaces, oooh three spaces, oooooh a fucking tab button... " etc) can fuck off.

That fucker who came and converted my buildings in Age of Empires with the "wolololo" priest can fuck off too.

Been reading through devRant and you know what? You guys are pretty cool

My job is pretty close to ideal.

-manager is technical/proficient
-hardly any meetings
-I'm trusted to design solutions to problems
-I'm trusted to implement those solutions
-Discretionary time off
-Decent pay
-We make cool technology

When you get a notification 🔔 like this one... The fucking moon 🎑 gets decent 4g before I do 😱😲...

Flashed an arch iso to my new raspberry pi 3, followed instructions for how to install yaourt from a decent site with good instructions...

...aaaaaand pacman is broken.

Reflashing the sd card now 😬

Never underestimate the power of a decent chair!

Was staying at friend's for a couple weeks with a horrible chair - my back just spasmed so hard that I am physically unable to get up from bed. Thank god for devRant to keep me occupied throughout the night.

Stay safe kids

R.I.P. mx1000 laser, 2005 - 2017

I feel at a loss, like losing my own hand.

First few days as a professional software engineer (c# .net) have gone decent. Made my first bigger commit today started working on a small new feature that requires more work.
CoWorkers are really nice, boss is cool, super chill over all. #feelsgood

Bought a 🏡.. o.O 🎉 Yaaay!
Soon™ I'll have a decent home office! & a 🐈 & a 🐕... maybe.. I hope.. (:

When you finally find a decent job and have nothing to rant about >:(

Turns out apple doesn't allow apps that use GPS on iPads without a GPS module. Decent idea, 100% undocumented. One stack overflow answer, zero upvotes.

Yep its time to put telegram on my family's phones

I'm working on my author website and I really suck at designing. So, can you give me your opinions? I can take honesty, even if it's harsh.
So, ugly or decent? What do you think?

What should be the name of the github repo for the new module?

Free breakfast before work starts
Overtime if working on weekend
Decent coffee
Quick meetings
New and fun challenges for every new project

My home set up, tower is on the floor but also have a decent few laptops laying around.

I find a decent place to work, with interesting problems to solve, decent fellow devs, and a decent salary.

If one of those lapses, I start thinking about moving. Life's too short to be working on boring stuff, working with idiots, or working for pittance.

Damn, looking at LinkedIn is pretty depressing when everybody seem very successful, and I can't even find just a decent job at the moment...

Recently been made senior dev at my company... I never really knew the struggle of finding decent developers who haven't massively exaggerated their knowledge on their CV's 😑

If you're so fucking mentally lazy that you can't write something halt-decent the first time, maybe you shouldn't write anything at all!

Today I had my first decent pull request accepted.

It wasn't the biggest problem, but it made a chrome extension not work, and the author and other users couldn't figure it out.

The author seems very chill and called me 'the man' and offered me a drink.
It felt nice.

A typo today has rendered me the joke of the office... 😂

Almond's PR: "Added missing unit testes to classes Foo and Bar"

----

Bob: "LGTM. Bet that took some balls."
Craig: "LGTM. Missing unit testes drive me nuts."
Ian: "LGTM. Write your testes with your code guys, a bit bollocks to have to add them afterwards."

Pour one out for our last VMS/Alpha computers heading to the great bit bucket in the sky.

Was decent hardware in it's day, 20 years ago, but we now run EC2 instances that are faster. 🙃

It's gotta be the Linux kernel.

It's so good at managing base resources on all platforms that it allows hundreds of thousands of hipsta-ass devs to write shitty code and still get decent speed.

Finally had a decent sleeping pattern... Discovered devRant... Hello 3AM old friend.

Bollocks. Really decent guy in our team just left unexpectedly 😟

You'll have more pain convincing people that you CAN write a decent app in PHP, than writing one.

#noHatePlz

Finally got a decent keyboard,with good switches.

So a Developer not using a React-native component library because it is backed by Microsoft
This is next level shit

PS:- the library is actually pretty decent

This is from my personal experience. I've been working on an Android app, I'm a web developer tho. I don't have much experience in java but just watching a decent YouTube tutorial and getting the source code to play with, helped me more than I had hoped for.

Why do people want their webpages to be compatible with IE? Who cares? It is used by 1% to download a browser. Moreover, Edge is out. It's like writing a decent port or even a native game for Linux. Never pays off.

Got my first successful freelance job done today!
Was a very basic website but...I still got paid and I feel good about it. Seriously thinking about making a decent web app that can help me nail more customers.

I am driven nearly to blind rage by people who insist on sending you issues as emails and just keep piling more emails on the same thread. For the love of everything decent learn to use a mother FUCKING ticket system.

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

Today I tried medication (concerta 36mg) for my ADD for the first time in my life (im 26 years old).

Result is fuck yeah! I feel like a human being whos able to focus on shit. Im so jealous of normal people having a decent attention span and decent working memory.

So my wife got laid off from her job aaaaaaand that puts me back again in the hunt for freelance bs to cover up her income until she finds something decent........dis is gon suck bad man.....

Y'all ever learn something and just kinda smile about it?

I finally got a decent understanding of lower level concurrency control like mutexes and sephamores (I knew about atomicity before but never knew how it was implemented) and I just got this huge grin across my face.

!rant, but... It’s really nice to live in a country with decent LTE speeds... ;) It’s nice addition to my home 250Mbit DOCSIS connection...

I'm never going back to Google Cloud, AWS is the shit.

I'm fucking orgasming with how organized everything is, decent documentation, level of configurability, the integration of one service with another.

Just wow

Got yelled at because super important feature for a client was two days overdue.
The kicker is that they never even talked to IT about the feature let alone give us a decent spec/assignment.

So I guess my most unrealistic deadline was the day before yesterday...

Lost half the tip of my thumb to a motorbike chain. Can't code for a month. :(

The boredom is killing me.

Why isn't there a swipe keyboard/decent voice input for programming?

Damn, AWS really need to hire some decent UX people. Not sure what's with this latest change, but it feels like a massive step backwards.

!rant

Now that I make decent money, I've started donating to non-profit tech foundations/companies. So far VideoLAN(the guys who make VLC) and WikiMedia done.

What else would you suggest? Thanks :)

i just wanted to make a decent documentation and now the sun is rising.

Any recommendation for a decent mechanical number pad? It seems either too expensive or using knock-off keys...

I am pretty decent developer but ended up in Quality assurance :/ it hurts me when people are having awesome discussions about coding amd I am performing dumb tests.

When will Microsoft stop ruining good products?
Xamarin was a decent enough platform untill MS got a hold of it. Now, you never know what the next update will break.
Skype is already lost to the MS darkness.

My biggest regret working for a company that is not willing to buy decent dev machine when they actually can afford it.

I am so excited, I just got a response from Voodoo.io on publishing my mobile game. Hopefully it makes a decent amount of money!

Not beeing able to get a decent haircut currently is a good excuse to finally wear my custom made baseball cap :D

Hey i see you published your tool without a hint of a build instruction you failed attempt of a decent human being, i hope you dissolve into the puddle of cum you once were next time it rains :)

Only 2-3 people show up in the office (out of 38). Finally some peace to write some decent code.

Not all project managers are bad. 3% are decent.

How important is a degree to get a decent career in IT? Also must you be certified in all the languages?

I'm not, by far, what you pros call 'decent' at being a Linux wiz but installing Discord on Manjaro got me feeling 1337.

And all I did was run packer -S discord.

Wtf is this shit .... why the hell is so much fees even accepted as normal
(Ps - you can get a decent i5 with amd gpu and dos for 40k)

@localhost My setup! The laptop is on private WiFi that is unmonitored. There's a desktop tower behind the monitors that is wired into the unmonitored network as a server running Linux. it's decent but could be better. and I need more stickers

I got placed with decent salary in core Product based company. Happiness is at its peak 😄😆 .

For those of you iOS Swift developers, how long did it take to learn and have a decent app with database functionality, coming from a different programming language background?

You know the app is good when you get a new phone and install devrant before whatsapp. Devrant even auto correct to decent lol.

Fyi: galaxy s8+ rocks

When I can see actual clients using my software, and can get real feedback from them.

I usually work on backstage projects and my job never really affected "real, normal users". When I have something pushed and can really see user feedback and smiles, that means I've made it.

Of course, if that's on a decent job, with a decent team and decent pay. Which is where I am at now.

Soon, the app will be released - if the external infrastructure guy stop sucking. So, I'm hoping to feel I've made it soon, real soon :)

The horrendous prices on decent graphics cards now.. people that want gaming cards for gaming can't afford them anymore 😣

I label myself as a graphic designer. I can't even make a decent-looking logo for my portfolio. I know I don't need one but it's annoying.

Its not binary; you can be decent and gifted at the same time.

I'm going into my second year of Games Programming and I think I've already got a few decent looks into how the rest of my life is going to be thanks to devRant... Looking forward to these "Recruitment" people...

Had to fire two good developers and a decent QA engineer due to financial reasons in the company :(
That was the painful part, but moreover GUESS WHO'S GONNA GET MORE RESPONSABILITY FOR THE SAME WAGE?!

So long and thanks for all the fish. I'll see you in valhalla

My project had a pretty decent state until I decided to add more features. New features had new requirements which in turn added more code along with a bug which nearly destroyed my will to live.
Went into 'fuck it' mode and reverted aaallll the way back to the decent state. Now I don't feel like sticking firecrackers to my laptop and lighting them up. 😌

A few days back I talked to a person who is far away from me with an air distance of 7937km and electronic signals moving at almost speed of light crossing countries. That was good decent conversation.

Stop whining about slow IDEs. If the IDE is running slow its because your shitbox computer is pissing it's pants. Get rich and buy decent hardware or use notepad and imagine the syntax highlight you cheap hook-nosed fuck. Fucking degenerate.

Here in singapore, we developers are super under-appreciated, pm always get the credit. and our salary are never decent. is this a global thing or just us? please share

Why oh why do companies scrimp on hardware and tools for devs. It's a constant battle to even use my machine let alone make progress. I cost 1k a day a decent machine 2k maximum. I have spent the last two days fighting hardware issues.

Hetzner.
Simple, efficient, no useless fluff, decent prices for a good service, no hidden surprises or overcomplicated setups.
What more could you ask for?

- A boss that's not 100% incompetent to computers and technology in general.
-Decent pay
-Coworkers who aren't jackasses
-Doesn't feel like a job
-Nice break room
-Option to leave early and work from home

- Writes a short decent code. Doesn't work.
- Refactores it with variables and function. Automatically works.
- Changes back to the original form. Freaking works now.

Wtf.!!!
Oh! The lord of bugs and errors, have mercy on me.

Yesterday my tests caught more typos in copy/paste test cases than in actual logic.

'twas was a decent day.

University assignment asks to create some encryption harder to break than Caesar Cypher. So I decided to go online and look for some tips on making a somewhat decent algorithm.

Any recommendations for a decent free web host service?

I'm using plain html with no databases.

My current host seems to be having issues with ftp.

When you realize devRant's SEO is pretty decent and you were getting doxxed from your old account so you change your name to fullstackclown 🤡

My weakest skill is simply organization. I can produce great work in a decent timeframe, just maybe not for the project or task I should be working on, assuming I don't get distracted by that email I was supposed to follow up on yesterday.

Downloaded 130gb of movie subtitles zip files.

If I find some power deep in my heart I would normalize data and launch training on generative transformer to see if it produces decent dialogues.

It will probably stop on planning phase because I’m diving deeper towards depression.

If it's an open source project and it (shock horror) actually gets a decent userbase, expect it to suck up *way* more time than you originally intended.

I don't know why people love taking pictures of their monitor screens, use a decent screenshot tool or just your inbuilt utility tool FFS -_-

I'm a young dev with ADD. Basically I just need to stay up late, and then get myself to hyperfocus on my code. It typically gets done in time to get a decent night's sleep.

That cringeworthy moment when you end up updating code you wrote two years ago as an amateur. Sigh, massive OCD attack settling in, I have a feeling I'm going to put in a few extra hours just so I can turn this blob of sticky code into something decent/readable.

+ Have a decent work in another country
+ Married (not kids yet)
+ Get my PhD in something

Future me, if you succeed, you owe me a fucking lot! Otherwise, well, fuck past me!

Xamarin vs Android Studio?
Pros and Cons?
Plan to get into Android Development in my holidays. I am very experienced with C# decent understanding of Java. Which one should I go for?

Why can't people construct decent questions?

To make things worse, this question has been edited twice by high rep users despite it's obvious flaws

College: We will give you six to twelve weeks to build a decent, fully-equipped application that involves a backend with domain business logic, DAL, service layer, security, etc.

In the real world: we give you an afternoon. If it takes two days, you are slow.

Gotta love it.

authentication and authorisation can go fuck itself
why are there so little decent documentation on how to build an IDP
or implement OAuth2.0
dammit
maybe it’s just ASP.NET core and blazor
but fuck this

Finally!
Today is the day that my team gets reinforcment. For nearly a year I declined everybody, but now I got someone with a decent amount of experience.

Devranters please cross your fingers that I wasn't wrong at the evaluation.

1) move
2) finish uni
3) learn more about the 6502, the nes and finish my game
4) get a decent job

God I hate it when devs complain about not having a decent job 😠 And then they're like "Oh, I've been looking for the past 6 months, but every company just ignores me"

Look, hate to be the one to break it to you, but companies are constantly searching for devs, and many companies have such shortage of quality devs, they'll take just about anyone with even remotely relevant skills as long as they have a decent attitude. If you can't find a decent job in this market, well, it's either that nobody needs a dev who spent the last 10 years doing basic UI and simple NodeJS apps, or they don't want a dev who loudly shits on new technologies while acting like their GitHub profile is impressive enough.

Do you all have your own VPS server to host your own portfolio website ? If yes provide me with a decent one.

Noo, it doesn't have to be responsive, that's not in the specs we agreed on. It just has to look&work perfe<khmm> decent on any phone and tablet.

My goal before wk200 is to get a decent internet connection

Roll into game development, preferably one with not so much crunch.

But i have yet to actually make my own game, the path behind me is filled with unfinished projects.

At least I'm a half decent backend developer.

I ask myself whether there is a connection between people proudly proclaiming they don't need to get a decent education and people posting rants about being impossible to get their projects to work and have to trace down bug all the time.

Women on Tinder:

I used to think I was halfway decent looking until webcams were invented.

Build my own business entirely with free/libre software. Generate at least a decent supplementary income from services while still providing source code free of charge.

Why has authentication of web services to be so fucking complicated?
PAM, OpenID, LDAP, SSO...
Every fucking service supports something different and I have a hard time finding a decent tutorial on LDAP and the likes.

The coffee at my work sucks! :(

Recently, the coffee machine was broken and a better one was installed until the other one got fixed. It made decent coffee, but now we're back to drinking piss. Teasing!

Still using a database from 90' - Enea Polyhedra:
- no decent visual sql client
- utterly limited scripting language
- weird communications protocol
- no redundancy beyond master-replica
- no encryption of communication protocols

Custom php api for huge known national software. No frameworks. Not following mvc structure. No decent documentation. Im the new dev and like how the fuck should i catch up before they think im not productive

Achieving decent 2D collision detection using ray casting in unity is kinda hard. I have immense respect for gameplay programmers.

I'm almost there though...

I‘d like to work more on my 2D game.
The idea is to make a mix of "Factorio" and "Knights and Merchants".
I’ve already got a decent basis with infinite terrain generation and units that collect resources and store them in containers as items.

I got my last job from stack overflow jobs. They had me implement a code test that involved a decent amount of features and took several weeks of my freetime to complete, but in the end I had a short phone interview and I had gotten the job :D

So, might be the first time ever but I have a reasonable client. Oh wait, life isn't that nice!
Boss, stop picking fights over stupid shit with the client!
Boss, actually show up to meetings you called!
Boss, do you want to get us fired from the contract?
Boss, stop threatening the client! They hold all the chips here!
Boss, actually listen to my technical advice since you are not technical!
Boss, go die in a hole!
Boss, I want your job and paycheck you do nothing!
Boss, don't tell me you are tired and we can talk tomorrow when you kept me up until 3am the previous night then called an 8am meeting!
Boss, give everybody, including the client, more than 2 hours notice for a meeting, then get pissed when the client doesnt show. They have other meetings!

That feeling when everyone left the student accomodation already, so the internet speeds are actually decent

So you have saved up some money, got a macbook, paid for an apple developer account to build an app which uses the camera only to find out that the simulator doesnt work with the macbook's camera. Apple do you realise that without devs you wouldn't have a decent app store?

Decent family tree software that's capable of sanely organising photos, letters etc.

I'm sure none actually exists, web based or otherwise.

Oh the joy of enterprise software development in a legacy system. I just wanted to add a new checkbox with a small feature and now I'm balls deep in age old half decent documentation and just have to pray it works. Implementation time: about 2 days or so

To my surprise I'm actually on target with my ongoing projects. Going to have a decent amount of time off this Christmas.

If you are building a superfantastic framework for dealing with all the gigabazillion possible use-cases and stuffs and whatnots, write some decent documentation. Please.

I thought I was decent at Java until I saw it in action over an internship this summer... is it always so complicated or do I have more to learn?

So my endpoint management has started flagging up tiktok as containing malware, specifically hiddad.b can anyone confirm this? Anyone got a decent antivirus on their android ?

Digital ocean is pretty decent these days.

[me, struggling to make a decent demo while errors are popping out and the client gives his feedback]

- You keep saying "downland" instead of download

Does anyone know a semi decent printer available in Germany/Europe, for personal use that doesn't you a kidney and won't break after 7 months??

They're all so god damn awful it makes me want to pull my hair out.

Okay. Why no one has never bothered to update rubyonrails.org? The site looks like shit is from 2009 and compared with laravel its nothing. Also while laravel is getting cool updates we get crap... The only decent thing that we got was ActionCable...

Finally I have something decent for my résumé.
I was going through some LaTeX hell before someone started a cv tools discussion. It was good to learn that json cv is a thing. But it was too late for me. LaTeX posed a challenge and I was bored. It became personal.
After a lot of kicking around and landing on XeLaTeX, I finally have a decent layout. I had to compromise a tiny bit but that's on me for having little content.
(I wanted a graphic résumé but I'll need to do more to sufficiently fill a page. Besides I'd need to design icons and shit for it.)

Now it's done and my job hunt can start!

It used to be one of the best paying professions, so there is plenty of people who aren't meant to be software developers, but they tried to get money and now suck at it.
Now that standard of living increased by a lot there are other specialists that do not require this much education or talent (but still you need to be decent) and pay comparably or even more, because there is just so much demand for them if they are high quality (people wait for months). Those are mostly people who build, finish or otherwise improve houses and cars. Even unqualified labor got decent pay now, tho still about 1/3 of what average dev will make.

StackOverflow feels like a digital version of McDonald's, Costa's, or Weatherspoons - it's hard not to bump into one, and if you're hungry you won't go an extra mile to find something decent.

If you have no moral compass and only want money, don’t work for Facebook. Work for ISIS. It will get you much more.

Otherwise, look for a decent company.

Is there any of you guys here that make a decent income from admob on mobile app here? Any advice on that?

I hate Apple's complete ineptness to the need of a decent way to move all your pictures, not just your recent pictures, between two iPhones.

Holy shit I just figured out a pretty decent (and way to complex) workaround to implement specialization in Rust, I'm so hyped

I love emacs dired mode.
Nothing better than the full power of a decent text editor to edit directory content.
I know quite some multi-file-naming tools, but they are all crap compared to dired.

That's all. Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Gonna be basic af here:
1) Let me use the latest version of my language of choice + libraries
2) Unlimited decent coffee (not starbucks but not folgers either)
3) A nice private office with a door so I can be uber productive if necessary.

What is your experience with Azure and Azure DevOps?

I got a decent job offer but they are microsoft die-hards and use everything from M$.

Is it usable or is it making you angry?

Seeing a lot of hate against PHP here. It used to be a shitty language with no decent frameworks, update yourselves please, it's getting embarrassing for you. WordPress, laravel, Zend. That's 60% of the web. We run this shit.

I think I'm a good teacher, learner when it comes to Front-end development. I've been active on Stackoverflow, but this platform to help someone seems more decent (here you don't need to curse someone's code to help him/her) 😀

Knowing way more than what your current job needs, and enough to get a decent position, but no degree/certs/multi-thousand dollar sheets of paper to prove it and being stuck in a dead end job

I needed to switch back to my laptop's keyboard (I usually have it hooked up to an external setup) but I'm instantly reminded why I don't like it...

The Up and (eph) button don't work.... can't get code or any decent typing done....

So I start my new dev job Monday and I'm considering vlogging/blogging the experience. Have any of you found success doing this? Not monetarily but like actually had time to create some decent content. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Me: Ok lets focus on my games dev kit, just got the hang of UI using GML and things are going well...

I am new to programming. I know the syntax very well in Java. How can I improve my logical thinking , problem solving ability that can land me in a decent job ?

What IDE do you guys use?

I use notepad++, Codeanywhere and Visual Studio 2017 Pro.

I'm looking for decent code completion with internal referencing to keep track of methods and variable.

Would you recommend staying with VS or how about intelliJ?

Or something new?

How to create a decent portfolio?
I'm a mobile dev and almost all tye apps I developed are for private use inside companies.

Why didn't a single manager I had worked with bother theirselves with reading "Peopleware" book. Decent managers cannot themselves afford to not read that book.

"X ? true : false"

Clearly a decent attempt at simplifying the code and at the same time missing the mark.

Set up my mom's network the other day. Unifi Lite AP with an EdgeRouter X. Decent setup. Now she's constantly getting disconnected :/ Nice...

I think our network was having a heart attack today. Had to jump in on a webinar after most people had gone home and ended up tethering to my phone to get a decent connection. Hopefully our network guys see the ticket and can fix things quickly.

Knowing C thoroughly, and not being able to create a decent rice in i3wm.

My wife is a pretty decent artist and we were talking about AI and what affect it can have on folks in the graphic artists industry.
I fire up Microsoft's Designer, enter a prompt and this is what it generated.
She said "Oh good. We're gonna be OK."

Trying to find decent window server hosting for multiple websites without paying extortionate prices is less fun than I'd thought.

Colleague: "Let me just try that on a decent phone".

Hes an Android user.

Me: "Yeah. Try one of these"

The human engineers are now about 1 or 2 steps away from creating strong AI. We now have decent drawing AI, decent voice actor AI and a confident bullshit AI. All components are already there. Actual human reasoning is in essence confident bullshitter getting cross-checked a few times. Throw a few confident bullshitter AIs together, make them check each other's outputs, and you have basically human reasoning.

It is terrifying because of the coming implications for our society 🤡 At the same time, I am proud of the engineers who worked hard on the technical advancements for the AI and made amazing progress. I know how it feels to work tirelessly on a complicated technical task 💻🌙

First round of grading the newbies' C hand-ins. Some are decent, some are great, some are way beyond the scope of the curriculum (50 line solution using structs for something that can be done in 5 lines), and some are "oh god why?".

Life as a TA is hard.

I recently came to the realization that my knowledge of APIs is very basic. The idea I have right now is based on the "waiter" analogy. I want to dive deeper into the topic. Does anyone know any sites with decent information on them, other than Wikipedia?

Ideal dev job would be to work on pretty/girly fashion or cosmetics websites, have drama free and knowledgeable co-workers, decent salary, great organization, external training opportunities, cute modern office, dogs, cats and a cafe on site, a dope recharge room & no talking to clients ever.

How do you deal with the constant feeling of uneasiness about not being able to come up with useful ideas? I'm not a genius, but I do pretty good work for a pretty decent size company with pretty decent size clients. I've always been good at building, just not so much at coming up with the ideas. The thing is that I just want an idea that I can be heads down on that people will actually use. I've been struggling with this problem for the last few years and it's not getting any better. Is it the same for everyone else?

Finish my studies.
Find a (half)decent job.
Build the Linux distro I need to start the real project.
Fund the startup I've been planning last months of 2017 before the tech gets old.

Damn, the struggle was real, but I finally succeeded to install ubuntu on this fucking computer. Now I need to buy a decent keyboard. Any idea for a good, cheap one ?

Tips on improving ++ to comments ratio? What do you consider a good one? What kind of a ratio is needed to get a decent job and a loving duck?

Every day, relying on third party vendors to write decent code that we can implement.

So i got a decent job but got some shitty workmates. 🙄

Uggg if you are going to revert color changes fine but don't revert 3 hours of template edits which I did to make the theme look half decent. Like seriously!

How come that one bathroom stall at work with decent wifi coverage is occupied practically 24/7? Does somebody live there?

It's my nephew's 12th birthday next week and I'd like to get a rasp pi kit with RetroPie and the NES controllers. Are there any decent UK suppliers that you know of? I've spent the morning looking and it's a mixed bag.

Any recommendations for whisk(e)y?
Maximum of 40-45 euro for a decent size bottle (50cl or more).

Need an advice on what android phone to buy.

I am looking for decent cpu (snapdragon preferribly), decent storage, screen size around 5.5 inch and not too big. A decent battery life. Fingerprint/faceid sensor is a must. Ram at least 4gb.

I am really interested in samsung s10 however they ship s10 devices with snapdragon only to usa and china as far as I know. So In Europe s10 is being sold with exynos cpu which I heard is laggy.

Then I was wondering wether to get a Pixel 4, however I dont like that the battery is only 2800mAh so Im not sure if that will be enough. I looked at Pixel 3a bet then I'm not sure wether 4gb ram will be enough?

Any ideas? Can you tell me about your devices that you are using?

Are you using ai tools to code? I’ve been having a blast combining copilot with the jetbrains ai assistant. GPT4 with pictures is pretty decent at generating scaffolding as well, provided the images are decent.
Also for unit tests, refactoring, and quick algorithms that I need for random stuff. Saves me a lot of time.

Apparently my resume does not get me anywhere, but when I am able show what I am able to do in person I largely overcome the expectations my resume sets up...
Do you have any suggestions on how to write a decent resume?

i am actually proud of my achievement of a scraping download-robot with decent logging, structured setup file, a small auto login to password protected areas and fancy cli options. because i am the only one on this sofa who can do this. :) this day has been kind to me.

Why is it so hard to deliver decent changelogs with updates? (Looking at you, Google...)

I just finished refactoring the code of a single jupyter notebook into a decent structure with comments. It feels good.
Unfortunately I still have stuff to implement and it's 2:50am :(

I've been developping some software so an entire debian OS gets bootstrapped and installed with all the desired software with the help of puppetlabs software...i need to prepare a server that can handle virtualization and be fast at it. So all the goodies a decent server needs, the apt, caching, networking, firewall, everything checks out... I want to test kvm virtualization... Doesn't work. Wtf? Spend a decent amount of time figuring out what the hell is wrong... I finally dzcide to think 'what if my buddy accidentally gave me a bad mobo'...

$ grep -e (vmx|ssm) /proc/cpuinfo

Nothing...

I feel so stupid to not check the mobo virtualization capabilities.
