Yet another commercial seminar upset I won't give up a day of my time to fly to the UK to speak at the event for no payment or reimbursement for my travel.

But of course I should think about the exposure and networking opportunities! 😕

Searching where an event takes place at, Google says "the Earth"

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.

(regarding a discussion with a female programmer about an event)

Me: ... But Id feel so out of place, I don't even have a date

Female: well you can always just import a date

Me: what do you mean? 😕

Female: import Java.util.Date;

@dfox thank you for sponsoring our event with goodies. I think devrant gained a few Dutchies tonight. Ive also made sure @linuxxx could grab some (yea try to spot him on the picture!).

1. Start working in company that is celebrating something the same day you start new job.
2. Make sure they invite you.
3. Get drunk hard before event.
4. Puke on a CEO during his opening speech.

Mission accomplished you’re now a legend.

At an event and the speaker says "No one develops native apps anymore".

I am next,talking about developing native android apps.

Had a former customer call a few (10) years ago, furious that we shut down their website.

Me: but you moved your website to another provider 2 years ago? We dont even provide webhosting any more?

Turns out, when they moved we put a redirect to their new site on our server.

During the summer this server was decommisoned due to a failing harddrive but since we no longer had any active customers on it we just pulled the plug.

The customer had never actually redirected their domain name. :)

When we sent them a copy of their own cancellation letter we got an "oh hell, sorry".

:D

BOYS ITS HERE

WE FINALLY GOT SPACE VACUUM IN PHOTO

Coolest project: I once worked for a customer who hosted an exhibition for a few thousand visitors in a big event arena in Stockholm.

They didn't want to use the existing ticket reading system on the arena so I had to build my own application compatible with barcode scanners (they said this about one week before the event).

It wasn't a complicated application to dev but with the tight deadline and no time to actually stress test it, it was the coolest thing to see hundreds of people streaming through the ticket station flawlessly.

Day 2 of the event I built a simple web application so I could see the flow rate of read tickets while I sat in the arena pub with a beer.

"Oh you make games!
Can you make something like Pokemon Go? We you need to make it quick cause we only have 10 days till the event."

😓

In our self-developed intranet, i added a hidden script that fires an 'event' when you enter the konami code.

Said event it's simply turning thw screen contrast to 200% and play the audio of 'omae wa mou shindeiru'.

I was planning to make some more of those, but i don't have the time to do them ;_;

Currently at a cyber security event.
The most ironic thing is that the WiFi here is not secured...

My first experience with Swift ended in me infecting myself with a virus (kinda). I wanted to create a macOS app that would listen for a global key event, catch it and then type a word.

During development I set it up to listen for ANY key event and to type "BALLS". So what happened? I compiled the code, everything looked good, I started the app and pressed a key which emitted a key event. The event was caught by my app and it typed "BALLS", just as expected. However, the typing of the word caused a NEW key event to be emitted, which the app also caught. The infinite loop was a fact. FUCK!

I tried closing down XCode but all I could see was "BALLS BALLS BALLS" everywhere. I tried everything I knew but it just kept typing "BALLS". I had to hold down my power button to make it stop.

I finally finished the app (which I named "The Balls App", I kept the word "BALLS"). I solved this issue by only listening for KeyUp and when emitting the "BALLS" word I just used KeyDown.

Any social event.
"I'd rather be coding."

When DigitalOcean sends you schwags for your event.😍😍😍

Today I got yelled at for planning to skip work because I had pressed interested on a Facebook event that occurs at the same time as a overtime work event....

My young brother just destroyed everyone at a speedcubing competition!

4x4, 3x3 one handed, 3x3 regular (the main event), skewb, pyraminix — all 1st places!

On a company meeting there was a discussion wether to trigger an event by hover or mouse click for 20 minutes. then..
Me: "There is no mouse click without hover."
-- silence --

I was building a controller for an autonomous RC car at a racing competition. We were having issues with line detection leading to poor performance in the steering module. For the drag race we pioneered an innovative new steering strategy: never steer. Won the event.

One of my older servers just went down. It's been hacked. How do I know this you ask? Is it mining bitcoin?

No - windows event viewer has no errors in the logs for the last 48 hours.

So apparently due to an extremely talkative x input driver and an error in a certain app, I've been running an emergent keylogger on my computer for half a year. On every keypress event, the driver would call the app, the app would segfault, the driver would log the incident including the event to /var/log and then crash, and the app would restart the worker. I noticed this when I started wondering why /var/log is over 100GB in size.

You all remember the hackathon (my first coding event ever)I went to last Saturday?

Well, the founders of the org whose project I worked on offered me an internship on Thursday!

Is @trogus and @dfox ever coming to an EU event? Would really like to meet you guys 🙂

Geez... Got woken up by a catastrophe alert.

Check phone, could be someone shooting up the neighborhood or something else to excuse myself from a social event.

Someone thought that 40 km/h wind and 20 cm of snow are a catastrophe.

Fuck this country.

The live devRant AMA/event thingy is in a few hours I think?

Gotta go to sleep right fucking now.

Don't want to get spoiled by the rants tomorrow morning.

This means nearly a whole day of no devRant 😫.

Anyways, good luck dfox and trogus!

I'm holding a programming class today, it's an open-door event, so anyone can come and try it out.
Nothing too much, just basic things.

I've been holding it for 30 min... To no one... No one showed up...

literally lol'd out loud when I saw this. Found in the source of popular event loop library libev, in ev.c line 214:

Ooooh I feel savage. I got this little USB-Stick from an event of Microsoft and I am using it to install Linux on every computer I can get in between my fingers.

Confession.

Got invited to a company party by a friend. I forgot they worked for Comcast. Realized when I got there it was a Comcast sponsored event. Got told on the way not to engage in any anti-Comcast rants at the event.

Couldn't really backout, so went anyway. Feeling guilty, dirty and like a complete sellout.

What do you get at a Pirate event?

Arrrrrrrrrgs!!

Awe yeah, step one complete: Node.JS event emitters implemented in Python. Baby steps!

So apparently my university is doing a privacy promotion event... if only I had the time to go..

Found an issue where my double click event was not functioning correctly, so I added a break point and then it diddnt work at all... its taken me an hour to realise that if I breakpoint the click event, of course I'm never going to fire the double click event...

When Google messes up while creating a Google Form.

This is from the feedback form for a Google event

I enjoy watching the Microsoft events, as they always introduce something completely new, that no one's really made before. Unlike certain companies *cough* Apple *cough* who just slap a better processor on their existing devices and calls it "revolutionary". I like all this innovation

The worst part of hackathons are schedules which leaves no time for actual coding!
I was once at 2 day event. Day 1 contained an intro lecture, 'getting to know your team' exercise, idea generation phase, idea feedback from industry people, mandatory coffee breaks, and a little bit of coding at the end.
Day 2 consisted of 'adding thet final touches to your hack', a random lecture from the company hosting the event, info from the judges on how to pitch, a trial run of the pitch and then the final pitches...
I barely think we got to code for 3 hours.

Joined a call during a potentially important life event. Work laptop password expired this morning, personal laptop didn't connect to vpn, desktop not connecting to vpn. No one knew what's wrong on the call (just that it's not working).

Not a good call.

This meme gets alive on every apple event...

OH MY FUCKING BATMAN, WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS WEBSITE SHOWS ME A POPUP WHEN I HAVEN@T EVENT FINISHED READING THE FUCKING ARTICLE. FUUUUUUUUU

Acording to google in the madebygoogle event, google assistant can remember things...

friends project: android app that start counting when touch event happens.

and fails to do so...
(after substancial help, I showed him wht ge failed but did understand)

A company hires him as android developer...

not sure I am glad for him, this cannot end well...

You want to call a function? STOP!!!
Nowadays it is so amateur and old fashioned! Instead you must:
- Make a soap request
- Write a router to handle soup requests
- Write an XML to define which controller responds to this request
- Write an XML parser on top of another XML parser
- Write a controller to trigger an event in response to the request
- Write an XML which defines the event
- Write an XML that defines the event observer
- Write a plugin which calls event observers
- Write a router which delegates the task of calling event observers to that plugin
- Write an event observer which calls another plugin
- Write a plugin that "Calls a function".
It's better because... it's more Object Oriented!

OK, so I was making this website for a university event. After publishing it, I start getting calls that the registration form isn't working. So I review the code and fix the problem. But when I push it to production, the problem still persists, all this while the event management is breathing down my neck because they can't get any registration! kept on trying for the whole fucking day, switched off my phone and went to sleep! The next morning, I find out, I had been pushing the old version of the file! Yes! I felt incompetent and stupid!

What happens if you break your hand/arm/wrist and it requires an arm sling (picture attached)? Can you still work or what? I'm assuming it varies from company to company or something. Do you have anything in place for preparation for this event?

Was presenting an idea today for an IoT Challenge event. This was the first question by the judge:

"What will you do if internet isn't there?"

So there is an ad for an event that claims that they got 96% likes on Facebook. What do they mean, did 96% of all facebook users worldwide like it? Or did 4% find out how to dislike a page on fb? I am confused

Back in college I studied web development.
Google came to campus and hosted and event. So a fellow classmate asked me: what's this event about?
Replied: it's Google hosting an event talking about HTML5, we should definitely go & attend.
She stops for a second and replies back: umm why exactly?
- Because we're web development branch and this is related...?

Ffs people get the fuck out off that Gitlab. I've been there sooner than you, now can't event load login form.

Started development on a Firefox addon again:

Adding an onclick HTML tag/property (however you call that) - doesn't fire at all.

Adding an event listener - says no elements with the class I'm using (checked, it's correct) exist, doesn't fire.

Well, fucking great 😐

I don't like marketing people (nothing personal).
Most of those I had to communicate with, do lack anything that would remotely come close to brain activity.
A handful of days before the start of a huge event, for which we made a VR game over 2 months, they have the ovaries to tell us that the spectator TV doesn't fit the event's design and thus the VR game will not be shown at the event.
Wow.
Thankfully, half a day later, their CEO directly wrote us and told us to ignore them and to proceed with the preparations for the game.

Allright, that was srsly cool!
We are doing family trips across Lithuania on weekends. This weekend we have visited a "gravity hill".

So basically here's what you do:
- drive your car down the slope, to the bottom
- stop the car. Leave at neutral
- the car itself starts moving.. UP TO THE HILL!!

I was sceptic, but ffs, it took my car less than 2 minutes to reach 25km/h from a point zero!!

I even tried once more with my engine turned off. The same thing happened :)

just learned that Kafka exists.
I was almost going to build an event bus from scratch, phew

iPhone 8 event today! Who else is ready to be disappointed?

Any devRanters at SHA2017?

recent life event:

installed Windows and updated it.

At a networking event. Tired. Not a people person, especially when tired.

Found a secluded empty booth, pretending to do some urgent work. Hoping no-one notices I'm not socialising.

How long can I keep this up is the question! :D

Company: Hi mordax, your profile shows you have an impressive background -
Me: Oh!
Company: So I'd like to extend an invitation-
Me: Oh!!! (Interview!!)
Company: - to a Women in Tech(™) event hosted by the company.
Me: Oh.

On a company event. Supposed to do some water skiing.

I'm no fucking Jesus, I can't walk on water! Leave me alone!

Also, I am NOT interested in seeing my teammates in swimsuits. Yikes!

I hate being forced to go to an event you want 0 part in

a) when i wanted to write a twitter client for the console
b) when i automated my job that i had at a school event
just the ability to do such stuff is very exciting to me.

Went to a "Javascript Cafe" wearing async t-shirt..

They put me last on the events queue :(

So today I was booked as speaker for an event and I thought it was tomorrow. When they called me to ask me where I am it was too late since I need three hours to to arrive there. The stupidest mistake I made for decades.

Understanding JavaScript - Event loop, message queue and job queue

Went to a GDD Extended event for the first time. All they told was
repeat
{
bla bla bla
Google
bla bla bla
}

Just came back from a Dev event and it was so refreshing knowing that I have similar knowledge as some presenters and that almost anybody knows wtf they are doing 😂😂

Monday starts amazing.

Team Leader is mad that i didn't attend a party, and insists to know, why i wasnt there.

An event, that per my understanding was obviously an optional event, where colleagues meet, talk about some stuff, and then eat and drink, because it was fucking worded that way in the email. Ah and in that email they also asked us to actively respond, if we want to participate.

Me, naturally: Obviously an optional event, go figure.

It’s pretty awesome to hear that computer science played a big part in yesterday’s Event Horizon blackhole image.

Hello devRant!
I'm at Code Europe (Krakow, Poland)
Any devranters here? :D

Didn’t want people staring at a random coding problem so I converted the board to something relevant to the event hehe

Google Calendar: Oh hey, your event has been updated!

Me: Oh great...who rescheduled?

[Nothing's changed in the event]

I love swag, got into a local virtual event, they ship you the full kit to make an audrino powered self watering plant…

Bag included a build it yourself Pandalf

Times I have run into event loop / closure related issues in my 10+ years of JavaScript app development: 0

Times I have run into event loop / closure related issues in my 10+ years of interviewing: Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

SHEESH

Apple event was so underwhelming after seeing new MS products. I don't buy into that Touch Bar hype.

Still I'm gonna go for MB Pro w/o Touch Bar. It will be my new PC

Big event today! I will be publicly previewing a project we’ve been working on for almost a year now for the first time.
I wonder what they’ll think.

Extensible event system design in c++ - but also includes built-in static types for uniformity and performance.

Happy with it!

I bet after Apples event Steve jobs and Alan Turing are rolling in their graves.

What the fuck is this joke of an "event" for celebrating the 10th anniversary of this company...

Google Cloud onboarding conference here in Cape Town today! Supposedly the largest attendance of the event globally so far. Over 600 developers here! Also the first one in Africa.

Making a generic class for event management

Welcome to the par<T>

I keep a 20 year old PS/2 keyboard around specifically for that rare event I need to edit my bios settings. My mobo doesn’t enable usb until half a second after it stops listening for input because who uses usb keyboards, anyway?

All your disk are belong to us!

The most misogynistic CEO is going to be a mentor at Women Tech type of event.

Every now and then you need a kick to your nutsack and vagsack to realize how replaceable you are and be humbled.

For that I am opening a gym where we train for this event by kicking your ball sack.

I've just visited F8 event by local Facebook Developer Circle, and I got this from there, actually love this t-shirt and had a great time with other developers. Waiting for I/O and Next extended event by Google Developer groups

Looks like everyone are excited for the eclipse and I am here waiting for the Android O event!

Looking forward to the postmortem on this event...

This virtual recap 2021 year event could have been an email

Added a Facebook Pixel to company website for marketer. Marketer calls back saying the pixel conversion event isn't working. Spend at least 20 minutes trying to figure out what went wrong. Try a bunch of changes nothing works. Facebook marketer Oh I forgot to turn on the event on my side. Fml

If you are sad about not getting into Google I/O, just know that people AT the event also have to livestream sessions because there's no room in the venues.

It sucks.

Built a beautiful new fancy html5 page for a big event.
PM still wants to use the old flash video player.

Why the fuck ? Just no ...

I had been banging my head on an issue for 2 days. The solution?

Replaced
“window.addEventListener(“message”, callback)”

with
“window.onmessage = callback”

What. The. Actual. Fuck??!!

Aren’t they supposed to be the same thing?? It’s written on MDN’s article that the latter is an alternative way of doing the former.

What the fuck then? I am actually really pissed right now. Ragefully pissed.

Thanks, client, for not telling me you were going to have a big sales event that needed my intervention. Nice Saturday I'm having.

Corporate treating promotions as a "once-in-a-lifetime" "extravagant" "life-changing" "spectacular" event is exactly why the tech sector ain't leveling up.

Any devranters at the Toronto Microsoft devTour today? I'm but a lonely Linux user here xP

@ Oracle code event, Bangalore. Anyone here?

A recruiter came to my school last month to (supposedly) tell us what are the hottest skills to have under our belts. The event ended up like a devRant IRL.

Made an app for college tech fest. Used devRant profile image as one of the event.

Today, I made an event-based gamepad library.

Although, I was lazy. I am planning on only supporting one controller so the library only supports one controller at a time. Plus, it uses some global variables.

But still, kinda fun

I wish all you frontend devs who use the keydown event to hack tab-order a very painful and very quick death.
Especially those who fail to ensure that TAB; Shift+TAB is always identity.

*Stack Overflow* : Only 1 question to unlock the Curious badge.
*Also StackOverflow*

So I took a leave on 3/16 to attend an event.

I declared it in early February.

It was accepted and validated today, 3/23. Nice timing

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

To be honest I forgot completely about the ducks and was kind of disappointed to see them, don't understand me wrong, its a great addition to the shop (especially to support devrant more when buying them and I will probably do too) and trogus (wow it's pronounced t-rogus) deserves a lot of respect for going through the very hard process of developing it, getting somebody to do a decent quality result etc. but I was hoping for the new site that got hyped up some time ago or some update to the app that fixes design issues on phones that have 2k resolution and no statusbar and more. ("just open a github issue" - I don't have one right now and it didn't get much attention anyway, since I am in the niche of people with those kind of setups, most people it seems have phones that can even barely run the app lol). The login still pops up each time you visit the site (basically just click it away, but it's rather annoying to have it pop up), it's nowhere near to the original app (although the native app is written in some sort of wrapper anyway?) - especially what comes to options, customizing, deactivating things, posting into categories (newest feature), getting notifications etc

There is some community builds that try to recreate a better desktop experience, but sadly fail to do so (sorry to devrantron and others, but what the fuck were you thinking when you rounded only the top right and left corner?) - since they always have something that is just thrown out to "be there" or design fails (which devrant just lacks and looks good across the board), that makes me rather cautious if that program doesn't send my credentials to some african prince. ("just look at the sourcecode", yes I have better things to do, thanks)

I could just create my own build, having to reverse engineer the whole website and app (granted, most of it are just api calls), but I simply lack the time (so I understand why my mentioned problems aren't getting really any attention or can't be implemented that fast, yet still its somewhat bugging)

I have listened to the Q&A and I know you guys are working full time at for example adobe (amazing that you both have time to be putting it towards devrant), so its not as much of a rant, just wanted to get out my disappointment about the event I felt personally. Still nice to have seen you and talk with the community a bit (although the time I feel was picked more towards your US audience rather than EU?).

Game development is a nightmare when your first starting out because you tend to neglect on keeping a small book on event notes.

Such as which event triggers what, and what events to turn off when the player starts the game.

You tend to get events that either don't start when player is far into game because you forgot to turn the event trigger on for something much for earlier in the game.

Live and Learn

Watch out for that Event Horizon

I was recently asked to do tech support for an event being designed by webdesign and business students

All they asked me to do was generate a qr-code to their site. -_- took 10 seconds on a website. I even matched their color theme

Yet their rsvp system is to email an event account and they count the number of emails. Why wasn't I asked if I could set up a better system rather than a simple qr. I just learned about this and it's too close to the event to setup a better system and pitch it to them

Why are some people incapable of reading documentation? THE "DUPLICATE RECORDS" IN OUR KAFKA TOPIC ARE BECAUSE ITS AN EVENT STREAM AND NOT A DATABASE. THIS IS LITERALLY ON THE FIRST PAGE OF THE GUIDE YOU ABSOLUTE MORONS.

Let me guess, using regexes in the mousemove event handler isn't a great idea.
How fast are simple regexes, anyway?
I have /^(\d+)(.*)$/, because I want to animate a css property that might have some unit.

So I’m like 90% certain 10% of my app should be event sourced, and the other 90% CRUD based (but event driven).

However after trying to tackle this from a variety of angles I’m 100% ready to jump off a building

So I’m taking a break and eating a fucking donut

Twas the night before deadline,
And all through my house,
tons of bugs were scurrying from the
onClick event of the mouse.

Seriously though... Dreamweaver CC needs to revamp the way they implement bootstrap snippets. Specifically the navbar hover and click on <ul> dropdown menus.

Small rant. Why does clicking create a new event in Google calendars???? I am just trying to make it the active window, now I have to actually touch the keyboard to stop the madness!!

!dev

Last night I had a meeting at 7:30 and a social event at 6. I was just gonna skip the social event but my friends convince me to go. And it was alright.

I go to the meeting and one of the people that we absolutely need canceled but didn't tell us.

mfw I left a social event 30mins away to go to a meeting that was canceled.

Oh and the person that didn't show was my friend and they wanted to reschedule for this morning. Guess what I'm mad and hurt and just gonna be sad in my bed all day. Fuck your meeting.

Trying to make an event calendar in javascript--too busy laughing and scrolling here. Maybe I'll stay up until 4 to compensate

!rant

When after one month of the event, a month n a half of the request, and a failed delivery attempt, the swag finally arrives!!

Stickers!! <3

Happy scenes!

Thank you Mozilla!!

That moment when your task is to refactor a Web site and you discover that every element is positioned absolute and all responsiveness is done by callbacks attached to window resize event

Dear digital ocean, don't sponsor an event and have the entire development challenge on digital ocean if your website won't accept my and 40 other contestants' cards.

When the best event of the day is a business phonecall and you are a developer.

Customer actually gets what we do, is excited about it and is willing to put in some effort.

Tired of chasing an elusive architecture and finding good community that helps promote it. Basically:

- Not CRUD
- Not MVC
- More like CQRS; commands and queries represent use cases
- Event Sourced; event log is source of truth, everything else is a cached projection
- Functional Domain Design; not DDD; focus on immutability and simplicity
- Functional in general; less OO
- More focus on domain concepts rather than tech concepts
- Domain can be used through CLI, API, or SDK
- UI is just another client to the API
- Authorization is ABAC, graph-based access control

I'm looking for a fucking unicorn.

Who The fuck created Javafx it too damn dumb and stupid there's hundreds of lignes of code to wrote to do a simple event on a table cell 😑😑😑😑😑😡😡😡
I miss Swift 😭😭😭

I am working on the backend of the event website and my PM expects me to also design logo for different sub-events.

Apprantly it's part of my job.

Awesome

Debugging event driven code is "fun"

Google's hardware mega event tomorrow. So excited!

So what if I'm broke, I'll clap my hands instead! 😂

Went to an "Hour of code" event with my dev friends and learned how to do the snake game in javascript.

ChatGPT, Copilot, React, how to make a link in a frontend website?
To create a link in a frontend website, create a span, a div, or a paragraph that contains the link text. In your JavaScript web app, add an event listener to that element that opens the link on click. If you want to claim you're accessible, add an aria-role to the clickable element. To make debugging harder and only possible for the real arcane experts, let your framework generate generic ids and class name hashes for styling and event handling, like "item_09fcfck" or "elementor_element_foo_bar". Avoid, at all price, to use an a href element!

Can we take a moment to recognize how absolutely retarded JS' event system is?
Events aren't objects. No, they're managed by an object, and identified by a string.
To subscribe to an event, you call object.addEventListener(name, callback). Because for some reason we can't just have an event object. Events MUST have an owner.
But to unsubscribe you don't call the function addEventListener returned, you don't use the token it returned either. No, you pass the same function to removeEventListener.
Because we don't use serializable tokens like in PP, and we don't return functions like in FP, no, we use functions as tokens, realising idiomatic DFP.

During the company's Xmas event, we were off-site at a place that does events to do a team-building event followed by dinner party.

An error report came up, it wasn't a showstopper, but it was fairly serious, and the perfect excuse to sit out the BS improv team-building exercises that the powers that be thought would be a good idea to have.

Probably my favorite bug ever.

Come to a weekly deep learning meet up this morning 8.30AM. The event start at 10 AM.  While waiting I read news and play some game. As time near 10 o'clock I had strange feeling: The guest room so quiet, just me and 2 security guy.

Okay I think comittee that run this event a bit late because of traffc jam and I wait more. In the end the committee didn’t even show until 10.30AM. Later I found on another data science group today's event is postponed and I go home.

WHY DIDNT YOU GUYS MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT ON SLACK? YOU WASTE MY TIME WAITING 2 HOURS

Is there a way to make the ( + ) Floating Action Button disappear down and reappear up on scroll event, like it does on all the Google apps with Material Design?

Is everyone excited about Wednesday US and Thursday in many countries devRant livestream event? I know I am. I am counting the hours 😊 Is everyone attending this devRant global event?

When everyone on YouTube has interfaces that definitely do NOT appear to you :/
I was supposed to create my pixel, give it a cute lil name and then test events ( Facebook ).
But NOOO ofc I would get a ton of issues in the process, everyone is able to connect their pixels safely but it took Facebook more than what, 4 days now ? To kindly inform me that:
Server external ID not matching to pixel external ID
You're sending the external_ID parameter for your PageView event from your server, but you're not sending the external_ID parameter for this event from your pixel. If you send external_ID for an event from your server, you must send it from your pixel as well in order for that event to be valid.
How am I even supposed to know how to fix that ! I just started learning programming, the only thing I know how to do is use Linux and write a ciao mundo C program. Now my store was supposed to be launched a week ago and I am still looking for solutions to this. Ugh.

I feel like writing or telling people about the time I jumped from Windows 7 Ultimate and jumping to Windows 10. (I'm not against 10, but I'm never updating after what had happened to me)
It all starts when none of my games will play due to a possible issue with my graphics card. I look up "3D source game bug" and not many results pop up. I go on Microsoft's Qna areas and ask this question but to my surprise nothing they say would make sense. "Clean the pins of your graphics card, make sure you verify the games on Steam". I verified the games and they checked out as perfectly fine. I don't have access to my graphics card because this is a laptop, sadly not a tower.
Two months pass and my computer is already showing signs of stress, like it didn't want to live in a sense. It was three times slower than when I was on Windows 7 and it was unallocating areas of my main hard drive where I could make virtual hard drives.
Instantly I start looking up Linux distros and find Linux Mint. 17.3 was the current version at the time. I downloaded it and burned it onto a DVD-rom and rebooted my computer. I loaded into the disc and to my surprise it seemed almost like Windows 7 apart from the Linux part. I grab my external hard drive and partition it to hold the Linux distro and leave it plugged in incase Windows 10 does actually fail.
On December 19, a few months after Windows 10 had released. I start my laptop to try and continue my studies in video game development. But to my surprise, Windows 10 had finally crashed permanently. The screen flickered blue and black, and an error box saying Loginui.exe failed to start. I look at it for a solid minute as my computer had just committed suicide in a sense.
I reboot thinking it would fix the error but it didn't. I couldn't log in anymore.
I force shutdown the laptop and turn it back on putting it into safe mode.
To my surprise loginui.exe works and I sign in. I look at my desktop, the space wallpaper I always admired, the sound files, screen shots I had saved.
I go into file explorer and grab everything out of my default hard drive Windows was installed on. Nothing but 400gb got left behind and that was mainly garbage prototypes I had made and Windows itself. I formatted my external hard drive and placed everything on it. Escaping Windows 10 with around 100GB of useful data I looked at the final shutdown button I would look at.
I click it and try to boot into normal Windows 10. But it doesn't work. It flickers and the error pops up once more.
I force it to shutdown and insert the previous Linux Mint disc I made and format the default hard drive through Linux. I was done. 10 gave me a lot of shit. Java wouldn't work, my games has a functional UI but no screen popped up except a black abyss and it wouldn't even let me try to update my graphics card, apparently my AMD Radeon 5450 was up to date at the AMD Radeon 5000's.
I installed Linux Mint and thinking the games would actually play I open steam and Launch Half-Life 2 to check if Linux would be nicer to me than Windows 10 had been.
To my surprise the game ran. The scene from Highway 17 popped on screen and the UI was fully functional. But it was playing at 10-15fps rather than the usual 60-70fps. Keep look at my drivers and see my graphics card isn't in use. I do some research and it turns out I have a Hybrid Laptop.
Intel HD Graphics and an AMD Radeon 5450 and it was using the Intel and not the AMD. Months of testing and attempts of getting the games to work at high frame rates pass and the Damn thing still functions at a low terrible fps. Finally I give up. I ask my mom for a Windows 7 disc and she says we can't afford it. A few months pass and I finally get a Windows 7 installation disc through money I've saved up. Proudly I put it into my optical disc drive and install it to my main hard drive deleting Linux completely. I announced to all my friends my computer was back in working order and I install everything I needed, Steam, Skype, Blender, and Unity as well as all my games. I test Half-Life 2 and it's running exceptionally smoothly, I test Minecraft at max settings and it's working beautifully. The computer was functioning properly once again and my life as a developer started as I modeled things and blender, learned beginners C# and learned a lot of Batch. Today the computer still runs at a great speed and I warn others of what happened to me after I installed Windows 10 to my machine if they are thinking of switching from 7 or 8 on an older machine.
Truly the damage to my data cannot be undone. But the memory of the maintenance, work, tests, all are a memory of how Windows 10 ruined me and every night before the one year anniversary of Windows 10's release, I took out the battery of my laptop and unplugged it from the a.c. power, just so Windows 10 doesn't show it's DLLs, batch scripts, vbs scripts, anything on my computer. But now, after this has happened and I have recovered, I now only have a story to tell

I just broke a magento store by registering a resize event on the window with jquery.

Wtf

When i was in a student project, a guy wrote the whole e-mail validation in js from scratch,using only the key down event. We all wers like: "Wtf dude, yu no Google? "

!rant
Any Dragonball fans out there? I'm contemplating attending one of those "Scream like Goku" events that are happening in the cities :D

Do you guys also feel difficulty when you try to write algorithms in the new language? I feel like I am stupid cause I don’t event know the methods for coding the algorithms which can be easy with the language I already know

Saw a boss scratch an employee's car and was later caught by the security cam but what will the employee do?
A. Resign and lose his job
B. Keep his job and ignore the event

Null: sue for mental and physiological stress; go on vac.

sport event bookingapp for android, ios and blackberry. 3 weeks. we finished. client wasnt happy with the colors and sued us and we won. I left the company because of that bs deadlines.

Being a Dutch developer & student I'd love to seek new challenges and participate in coding events and Hackathons. Seeing as Devrant has so many amazing developers from The Netherlands around, any suggestions where I could go and find information about such events?

ibm think starts in 3 minutes, it’s buffering....

I see IBM is promoting their cloud a lot now.

How can we break a loop which is on other class by just button press event in Java?

What if a programmer was invited to the dear moon project? What would he make?

Probably a new JS framework or a new programming language? :P

That spacex event was one of the most inspiring event I have seen in a long while. I can't believe it is happening. That Q&A was very interesting and I like how Elon Musk talks, he tries really good to put things in layman terms.

And looks like Elon Musk is also going to space with Yazuka.

If I get a chance to go in lunar trip, I would be happy even if things go wrong and I have to die in space.

Are the Verge live blogs always this weird?

Something about MVC. If one clicks on the UI to open a menu, is the event sent to the controller which updates the view or does the view "just display the menu"?

My most disliked part about my job is one recurring event that happens way too often: waiting for other teams to do their fucking jobs so that I can do mine.

My manager just told me this at the end of the work day.

Today, my manager got a call from client "X".

They wanted to know why issue "Y" happened at event "Z" that was being put on for their client.

My manager basically told them we had nothing to do with that part of the event, so we wouldn't have had anything to do with solving problem "Y" either, but that what ended up causing problem "Y" had been passively mentioned to us months ago, and that he's not sure why their client didn't communicate it.

Client "X" told my manager that they would call back after talking to their person that helped organize event "Z".

No call back.

Definitely rant-ish, but also kind of a funny/ridiculous story to end the work day with.

TIL the Lenin's number: within a given area, a probability of 80% of the people living there realizing a given event happened in one hour. For example, some random obscure event has the Lenin's number closer to zero, while something like New Year's Eve has it closer to one.
And of course, by some ironic law I forgot about, the name is a misnomer. Lenin has _nothing_ to do with Lenin's number.

Was watching the Google live event. Must confess that I'm highly disappointed with the looks of the Pixel 2 . I guess 2017 is just not the year for Google! I mean I love the software improvements but let's admit it that inspite of us being software devs , we ourselves love good design! The pixel 2 just does not make the cut according to me. It looks like a brick. Google does need some hardware devs!

Two co-workers came late to our team-event because the POI on GMaps wasn't set accurately to the parking lot of the location.
We became dependent...

So apple event today was 2 hours long to say....

MOAR screen for MOAR dollar?! 💵💵😂

The only feature I want is the fall detection for when I face-palm now....

I'm in the top 10 contributors in FOSSASIA's coding event CodeHeat, will be attending FOSSASIA's Summit in Singapore between 17th-19th March !!!

node.selected = false //Node becomes selected

Why? It is a valid question so I was trying to resolve a bug in one of our components that uses a TreeList of DevExpress and on the event AfterNodeFocus we raise an event to update the current object selection by putting the node selection to true and updating other values as well.

Well it seems that every thing is OK so why the fuck is this thing not working????

After 30 minutes into the problem realized that the event SelectionChanged is raise in the end of the AfterNodeFocus. Then realized that the event was running twice. One when I was setting the node.selection = true and after the event AfterNodeFocus but the list of selections were different. So what I discovered is the event SelectionChanged raised after AfterNodeFocus is using node.selection = !node.selection.

So how do I fixed it?

Before finishing AfterNodeFocus I set the selection of the node to false and voila the selection of items works now.

Well after 5 hours into the problem lets try another thing.

You know how in F1 they give one cup to the winner and one to whoever designed their car? Let's do the same for the Olympics! One medal to the athlete, and the one to whoever designed the shit he injected before the event.

Fucking Chrome. I wish him cancer to die soon. Yeah, please fucking give me as event target svg element! Well done!

Today on fucked up Javascript stuff: Call stacks whose bottom isn't an entry point or event handler

The service hooks at Visual Studio Team Service are a mess. A new subscription for every single event. Really?
Is it that hard to add an "everything" field? Instead I can now add 25 events one by one - for every project.

Tech event in Prague next week.... Chance to geek out by day and by night for a few days.... Question is... Should I enter the hackathon or just take it easy?

When you spend so much time at an event you start to get anxiety near the end of it because you have no idea how many unread emails you have waiting for you.

How many of you watched Google's live event? What are your opinions on the new Google pixel 2? Honestly I was kinda disappointed.

So many years ago while I was in college learning to code and interning as a developer working on a javascript based image designer. We were learning event handlers in class and I was learning how to work with jQuery.

So I decided to build an event handlers to move objects by key press. I had an afternoon free and dont remember merging it to the codebase.

A few months later, something was pushed that took key press the event handler and the testers complained about losing the event handler I made.

End of the story, I added a feature that is still being used because I wanted to learn how to do something.

I felt like a Dev Hero after losing both my laptop and my car from the deer encounter. Really needed that delicious sandwich from Dev’s Kosher Deli to unwind from the stressful event. The pickles are to die for...

Had a legacy web forms app to maintain. With some generic event handler. There is a variable called "aDirtyHack" inside the query resolver for the grid. It adds a extra column for one customer.

Github Actions.
A nice feature that can drive you nuts.

"GITHUB_EVENT_PATH: The path of the file with the complete webhook event payload. For example, /github/workflow/event.json."

"github.event_path: The path to the full event webhook payload on the runner."

Well guess what? These fucking variables are completely useless since the path in them is non-existent.
Fortunately /github/workflow/event.json works...but for how long?

Also using header Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json to download a zip file is masochism.

What are some good awards for a software development competition?

Budget: $1200

Some context:
We are organizing our flagship event with six tracks - each has its own set of talks and events. For the Software Development track, we are organising a Battlesnake competition and would love to get some ideas about the awards.

P.S. We are giving them general event swags too, but need something relevant to software dev as an addition

P.P.S. Giving money directly is not an option due to some administrative stuff

Slept for a bare total of 10 hours in the last three days, preparing, organising and headlining a Developer centric event with tech talks and Codelabs on Kotlin and ES6 at my university with just 3 active team members.
Professor incharge comes, fucks shit up, changed the ending note summary and sent it to the reporting authorities without my knowledge.
Now I am being asked why the actual event and the proposed agenda don't match.
Fuck shitty teachers who don't know what they're doing. 😑

Any UK peeps going i59 fancy a meetup? devRant community appreciation event ftw!

Outlook is quite bad. There's no way to enable week numbers in the week view. And once you accidentally decline an occurrence of an recurrent event, there's no way to get it back, without having to trouble the meeting organizer to resend the request, or create the event manually yourself. In addition, Outlook is ugly and I strongly dislike how the calendar and inbox are combined in the same application. To me, e-mail and calendar are two completely different things, and there should be a way to open the calendar separately, without the distraction of any incoming e-mail.

That moment when a not so local native event handler is your first enemy...

Am I the only one who hate this stuff? it break things from a random place in a random time, with no reason...

Currently watching Xiaomi Mi 11 launch event. Totally forgot how cringy these events are.

Fun Fact: It's physically impossible to run a .bat script on a remote Windows machine as admin from a Visual Studio post-build event.

A meeting with an external event organizer, who just so happened be a rather attractive woman. I've never had so many superfluous colleagues (all guys) show up and show off.
That meeting went long.

Wtf js...

How to check if the event that is passed to the buttion is fron this button and syio it from bobbling 🙈

When you wake up late, then have an event you're going to this evening. Means I get less than 3 hrs to code.

Legacy app using jQuery to attach event listeners to table rows just to change the background color. That's gross, even for legacy.

Some at my company is working from home. My company is in the event business so we are building a feature now to encourage people to have events online.

Been to the CeBIT.
Its so sad to see what happened to this event.
In the past it was crowded with people.
Now many halls are empty.
I think they will give up in some years.

Hacking events, I always go then gather the team in the event place with team-less people.
Making new friends, having some fun, and solving some challenges.
By the way, I couldn't get a girlfriend using my coding skills, it is not working.

Hello there, long time no see.

Back in the day I asked you for a book that goes deep in the C programming language, now I'm asking the same but for Nodejs, especially a book that explains the event loop down to the line of code.

There are some articles on the internet but they are all copy/paste of one another and don't even scratch the surface of what the event loop does

Is it a bad sign when your employer has a multi-day, worldwide, "quality"event?

Just came home after an event.

1:42 am

Have work tomorrow.

Fuck my life.

SharePoint have something called 'event receiver'. An event is triggered when the user inserts a new record in a list. That event must update a column in the same item. After a few minutes it starts to throw conflict errors while trying to update said column. Doesn't happen with every user. Also I wasn't able to reproduce this behavior in the dev environment.

So now I just recursively call the update method, passing an iterator parameter, repeating the same method until it successfully update the record. Or after 6 failures email someone to see what's going on. Just did it today and published at 7PM. Tomorrow gonna be a long day and I know I deserve it.
