Boss: we need a html clone of our WordPress website, how many days do you need to recode?

Me: Sure, I need a week

Boss: ok

wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent URL

Wait. Say what Google Chrome? I can't use the .zip extension? Instead I have to use the .zip extension? What?

Tired of staring at white background in github.
Searched for dark theme extension.
Guess what... My github is now dark.
FTW

Simply as that: I.E. is a browser extension!

Spent two goddamn hours writing a Python script to convert exported JSON from Trello to an Excel sheet, only to find a Chrome extension that already does it, and better. 😧

I can't believe that something I threw together in an afternoon to make my work flow better turned into something people actually use! People are opening issues and suggesting things. Never thought it would get over 2.5k downloads! 😮

When I access social media sites...

It's the Go Fucking Work chrome extension.

Second VS Code extension with 100 downloads! 😊

In India we don't go rubber duck debugging. We debug with God 😂😂😂 (For non Indians that is Ganesha, one of the famous Hindu god. Said to be the god of knowledge and hence engineering by extension )

Soms week ago a client came to me with the request to restructure the nameservers for his hosting company. Due to the requirements, I soon realised none of the existing DNS servers would be a perfect fit. Me, being a PHP programmer with some decent general linux/server skills decided to do what I do best: write a small nameservers which could execute the zone transfers... in PHP. I proposed the plan to the client and explained to him how this was going to solve all of his problems. He agreed and started worked.

After a few week of reading a dozen RFC documents on the DNS protocol I wrote a DNS library capable of reading/writing the master file format and reading/writing the binary wire format (we needed this anyway, we had some more projects where PHP did not provide is with enough control over the DNS queries). In short, I wrote a decent DNS resolver.

Another two weeks I was working on the actual DNS server which would handle the NOTIFY queries and execute the zone transfers (AXFR queries). I used the pthreads extension to make the server behave like an actual server which can handle multiple request at once. It took some time (in my opinion the pthreads extension is not extremely well documented and a lot of its behavior has to be detected through trail and error, or, reading the C source code. However, it still is a pretty decent extension.)

Yesterday, while debugging some last issues, the DNS server written in PHP received its first NOTIFY about a changed DNS zone. It executed the zone transfer and updated the real database of the actual primary DNS server. I was extremely euphoric and I began to realise what I wrote in the weeks before. I shared the good news the client and with some other people (a network engineer, a server administrator, a junior programmer, etc.). None of which really seemed to understand what I did. The most positive response was: "So, you can execute a zone transfer?", in a kind of condescending way.

This was one of those moments I realised again, most of the people, even those who are fairly technical, will never understand what we programmers do. My euphoric moment soon became a moment of loneliness...

!rant

Guys! I did it! Its possible!

My task was to extension a code in php. I wrote 100 lines of code and then it workes on first try without any errors!

This is a milestone!
Bill Gates is nothing against me!

Clippy is back!

In Visual Studio

My VS Code extension just got 100 downloads! It just makes me so happy to know that people like what I've made. ☺️

Simply curious, but why do people use Vim when they can use a proper IDE like VS code?

I was never a fan of Vim. I simply liked it for the keyboard shortcuts, but in VS code, you can use a Vim extension and still have the keyboard shortcuts :/

I don't see the point in Vim.

If VSCode was a girl, I would kiss every part of her body and devote my life to her.

And I would promise not to use any extension on her. She is beautiful as she is.

People on github opening issues saying shit like "aye, your extension crashes. Please fix or I'll uninstall. Thanks.". How am I supposed to fix an error I know nothing about? Error message? Extension list? Stack trace? Steps to reproduce? Nope. Nothing.

Don't be like this, please.

Can we please all just appreciate how much more enjoyable the "cloud-to-butt" browser extension makes reading all those damn pr texts about "the cloud"? Seriously, try it!

I download a lot of different stuff all the time. Often times I don't actually get around to cleaning it up. Thus, I decided I needed to build a script to further encourage my bad habits.

Here I've built a script for both Windows and Linux. It's designed to take all the files in the current directory and move them into their own folders based on their extensions. Why is this useful?

It's fucking useful when you're not having to swim through fucking mountains of content.

Anyways without any further ado here are the scripts.

Linux

#!/bin/bash
for i in *.*; do
filename=$(basename -- "$i")
extension="${filename##*.}"
extension="$extension"files
mkdir "$extension"
mv "$i" "$extension"
done

Windows

@echo off
for %%i in (*.*) do (
if not exist %%~xifile md %%~xifile
)
for %%i in (*.*) do (
if "%%i" NEQ "movingFiles.bat" move "%%i" "%%~xifile"
)

I'm writing my own AdBlock Extension...

CSS:
.ad {
display: none;
}

JavaScript:
if (document.getElementById("ad").playsVideoAutomatically == true) {
getBlacklist.add(window.location.hostname);
alert("You are hereby banned from browsing " + window.location.hostname + " due to automatically playing video ad.");
}

Am I doing it right?

!rant I read some documentation about Amazon, "save all the data in my butt".
- me laughing
* I installed the extension that replaces all the instances of" the cloud " by "my butt". I'm easily entertained ;p

I just made this devrant chrome extension that notifies you when a new rant is posted. Just because having the site open isn't distracting enough.

@dfox will I get in trouble for using your logo for this?

Coworkers: "Who still even uses vim? Glad we've got Visual Studio so we don't have to deal with ancient shit tools like that!"

Me: "Psh, yeah, total losers right? Haha!"

**Sheepishly returns to coding using the VsVim extension**

So, our SMART Dean decided to have the collage WiFi MONITORED instead of blocking INAPPROPRIATE sites as blocked sites are easy to tackle...
What we did? Hosted a site using free hosting server with codes to simply get INAPPROPRIATE videos, split, and rename them and change the extension to PDF...
OUR COLLAGE WI-FI IS EXPERIENCING HUGE DOWNLOADS OF EBOOKS NOW!!! 😎😎😎😎

Idea.

What if we had an extension to the collabs section where app devs could share betas of their apps and other ranters could test them and give feedback.

Sort of like a closed beta for the whole community.

Ever had one of those moments when sites run by cunts (fuck you CNET) autoplays videos at 200% volume?

Use the extension called "Silent Site Sound Blocker" to make sure only whitelisted websites can play sounds.

Fuck yeah!

Every single requirements meeting

My colleague want to change notification sound on application I created. I said it support only WAV file. What they do is change extension of MP4 file to WAV and report me that my program isn't work.

*sigh*

My coworker implemented this date extension for no reason. Also handles back before they changed it. He wrote tests too

Userstyles.org and Stylish chrome extension (Thank me later)

Every table in our DB has extra fields called EXTRA1, EXTRA2, and EXTRA3, just in case we need to add something to a table and don't want modify it. Makes perfect sense, right? /s

But don't facepalm yet, because instead of actually using these extra fields, we just create *another* table called TablenameExt1 and then join it to the original table, because it would suck to use up the extra fields, right?

The most used tables have up to 6 "extension" tables, so there's 6 joins every time they get used. Plus whatever else you need to join anyway, along with *those* extensions as well.

And of course we copy at least half the data we *might* need from the original table and put it in every extension, because fuck normalization amirite?

Anyway, the app is slow and we've hired multiple consultants to help us figure out why. Quite the mystery isn't it?

Now where'd I hide that whiskey bottle...

In web technologies lab.

Friend copied some php code from some website and saved it.
Tries to run it and it just prints whatever he wrote.
After thinking for like half an hour he calls me.

Friend: hey u know php right? Why my code is not running?

I check the code in the editor and everything looks fine except he saved his php code with an extension .txt 😑 😑

My coding-senpai placed this PHP code (before he left) to my org's custom-footer due to a feud that happened months ago

it flooded their cPanel with folders with '.log' as their extension everytime someone visits their website

I LOL'D UNTIL
..They hired me to clean it up :^(

They got over 700,000 of these folders
#feelsbadman

i dont have too much dev friends expect devRant so i only chat with 2 nice guys from here and i created firefox devRant extension
one guy created chrome devRant extension and second guy created chrome notifications extension so i ask second guy if i can implement it to my extension he allowed so done (@Raspik and sorry that i dont find you devRant name second guy ;) you know who are you ;) both thank you guys

Ho geez. I've been using fake adremover chrome extension for years...
So embarrassing 🤦‍♂️

I am still working on the devrant toolbox extension (for firefox and chrome).

This is how it looks in my browser (firefox). The colorset is "solarized light", but there will be dark modes also.

What do you think about the dual frame layout with the feed on the left and the rant on the right? Would you use that?

"It's just a tiny change in one function. What can go wrong? I don't need to test, I'm not that stupid to mess this up". Apparently I am. Pushed the changes, and the [Firefox] extension basically stopped working. Lost about 1.5k users in 2 days. Good times ;)

I found out that not many people know Floating for YouTube extension

I personally use it to watch confs when i am doing easy stuff

Help me stay up to date ( it's distracting so i turn it off when i have to concentrate)

Hope it helps someone!

When Visual Code has a discord rich presnce extension. 😍 😍

When you are studying Linux kernel at university course

Anyone here knows a good and trusty user agent switcher extension for Chrome that lets you change your user agent based on a setting for the site you visit, instead of globally?

I'm sick of constantly using inspect to view a specific site in its mobile version because certain functionality is missing in the desktop web version.

Wrote my first Gnome Shell extension.

It shows the propability that my favourite streamer on Twitch streams today with a statistical algorithm I only wrote for this purpose.

I feel a bit cool now, yeah, maybe more than I should.
But it's so exciting!

The company I work for has decided instead of building our own CMS (which was mostly done when they killed it), we should instead build a Chrome extension to extend Shopify's admin panel and implement all of the features it was missing. We warned them very thoroughly about how morally wrong this is at it's core and will require a lot of dev time to get this going and has risk of breaking if Shopify changes something in their admin panel. And yet they rely on this more and more every day.

I wrote an extension for chrome. In the last part (publishing) I got the message I had to pay 5$ for 'administration / registration' fee's... I do not own a creditcard lol :(

Anyway a friend hooked me up and payed.

It is really sad that we have to pay, it would be more logical to receive 5$ for making something in the store -,-

Built the rough verson of my whatsap notification listener with websockets and now to intergrate it into a chrome. Extension time for chrome.

And they said i wont be able to view my whatsap messages at work

After developing a chrome extension, cli tool and jsRant I think I should stop developing on devRant.

When @dfox changes the api I am going to have quite a bit of tasks on my hands :p

I am so off my game today that I accidentally rewrote the String.IfNullOrWhiteSpace extension method in C# because I forgot it existed.

My extension had a better name tho: String.IfItAintNoThang

Extension methods in C# are fucking genius.

Java would never.

I'm just C# boy, born and raised in a .Net world ... Today I started some stuff with JavaScript, downloaded the JavaScript standard extension for using in Vs code... It made me do things...it made indent each new line by 2 spaces! Not 4 or a tab but 2! And then what really took the fucking biscuit, it said I couldn't end my statements with semi colons! I need a strong cup of tea and a sit after that shit. How is that at all useful to anyone!? It just made it make less sense!!!!

"Please, click Add extension to close this page"

$ sudo killall chrome

So I hear that there's a chrome extension that blocks United Airline flights on travel sites...

Noticed my RAM usage was around 41% when just browsing internet. So, getting more RAM was a good move, until I saw the usage shoot to 52%.

And you already know who eats that much RAM.

PS: Maybe it's some extension, because I just have 2 tabs open and killing that process didn't kill any tab.

my co-worker raged-flipped her keyboard cause she accidentally deleted the file she has been working on for 2 hours. when we looked in the recycle bin and tried to restore it, it shows an error saying "unknown file extension". she had to start all over because for some reason, we couldnt bring the file back.

So I have a chrome extension, and someone reviewed it. At first she gave me one star, and wrote "extension is not working, bad UI, not good!" And ten minutes later, she gave me five stars and wrote "good extension, good features, working fine, good UI, loved it".
I saw this a week after, and I wonder: what happened in these ten minutes?

Our team is developing a online e-commerce application. Since the owner uses Last Pass and doesn't like the extension icon in input fields, he asks the developer team to install the extension and ensure Last Pass was disabled for all input fields, password and usernames included, across the site. It was unacceptable to ask him to disable it though the extension menu.

When your internet doesn't work for 2 hours and you decide to create a stupid script to check the extension of each files and it works at the first try... WTF is happening?

My friend developed an app called "sendanyfile - WhatsApp, messenger" which can be used to send file of any extension via WhatsApp. A week later WhatsApp reported the app saying that it contains the word 'WhatsApp' in the app's title and removed the app from play store. Then 2 weeks later this happens....

#include <stdio.h>
#include <day.h>
#include <birthday. h>
int main() {
if (Yesterday == 25.02) {
beAYearOlder;
printf("Yeah I'm 17 now");
}
return 0;
}
//I'm 17 years old everything goes very fast and I didn't even notice how fast. When I was 16 I created a unofficial devRant extension for Firefox and dome other apps. But this year I gave myself a goal for this year create an app which is complex and very useful which is my project of voice changer. Yeah but not like other ones that have defined robot voice and like so. No I will create voice changer that can take someone voice and when you say something it will say it like different person. And of course some other apps but I will see if I can do the voice thing. Wish me a luck.

Guys notifications for new Rant in Firefox unofficial devRant extension are coming in few days !!!!!

Spent 4 hours debugging a “button” styling, worked fine locally but not on production.!

After striking out “cache” issues, “browser” versions, “fonts”, “sass errors” the error was with a stupid chrome extension that appended a css class attribute to the “HTML” tag 😡

And the other developer thought that was a part of what was written in the code !!

Hate these kinda plugins that manipulate the DOM 😪

P S the plugin is "Grammarly".

Dumbass client renamed jpeg extension when asked for a png file. Ofcourse Android build system is little more sophisticated than that.
What a shit day!

An Chrome/Mozilla extension to make browser disappear without loosing the session and bring it back on mouse control.

Making it safe to browse internet at workplace.

Step 1 - Start with socket.io in NodeJS to create chat extension for browsers
Step 2 - Let's authenticate the users
Step 3 - Cry

yayyyyy @dfox did you change the devRant logo resolution or W, H again because my extension now loads it fine

typeDef - A terminal tool that retrieve file information by their extension

I will make a Chrome extension that will automatically set the indentation to tabs and the indentation size to 4 (or whatever you specify) in the github editor. Would someone be interested?

I'm in the process of moving a web store to Shopify.

Today I was writing the product migration script and noticed about 10% of the products were missing their images after being imported, however no errors were returned from Shopify's API.

After 20 minutes of debugging I finally realized that some idiot uploaded some images in PNG format but changed the filename to a .jpg extension since our old CMS required a JPEG extension.

Built my first chrome Extension by following docs.🎊🎉

What should I build next?

Chrome extension of Google Dictionary have a different definition for PHP

I'm a student, so this isn't exactly the same.

I once created a Flask application for some coursework. It was basically an Instagram clone. Anyway, when it came to handling images and saving them, I used an import called ImageMagick. Now the issue is, it had to run in Levinux (which is shit). The problem was that ImageMagick was a Debian, and Levinux only used TCZ (Tiny Core Extension or something,) so I spent a literal three days trying to convert the library into a .tcz, only to find out that Flask's built in image manager worked perfectly and reduced my code by about 25%.

When I created my Firefox devRant unofficial extension it was great to then add feature to it with 2 guys from here it was fun but I have fun now with my classmate creating a new game in C in SDL2 its hard as hell but fun

Yesterday I spend around half an hour 'debugging' why a screen wasn't working. Checking cable connection, drivers and so on. Then the system admin pointed out that the extension power cable box was turned off... In my defence, I only slept for 4 hours that night..

Notifications in devRant extension working waiting for review

Does anyone know an extension or library that helps determine if a co-worker is into me?

Or how to handle such inputs

I keep getting a fatal error: call to undefined function

I spent a *very* long time trying to work out why my README file wasn't formatting....

It didn't have a .md extension.
:/

Most hated documentation?

W3Cschools in its entirety

There is even a Chrome extension to leave it out of the search results :D

VSCode + vim extension + built in terminal = GOD MODE

Twitch Developer Rig sucked hard and was cropping my extension down to 300px high no matter if it was “panel” which should be this high or everything else.

So I posted to their forum and they committed a fix MINUTES later.

That’s how you deal with bugs.

The chrome extension that tells me to 'get to fucking work' whenever I visit irrelevant sites.

Using "Go fucking work" Chrome extension.

La me working on a new chrome extension:

- ok, this page has some hidden divs, I need to tell the extension to make windows scroll to the bottom while there are still elements with a hidden class
- creates a while(1) loop with a condition inside it to break if no elements with hidden class are longer there.
- happy with the code
- uploads the extension
- goes to page
- brings out developer tools
- goes to console
- clicks on extension on chrome
- right clicks the extension and then inspect
- ok here we go: la me click on button inside extension popup
- console shows some logs
- nice it's still looking.
.
.
.
- wait! Why is the page not scrolling ???
- looks at logs, WTF nothing changes in logs .....
- OMMMMG a infinite loop .... infinite loop inside chrome ....
- OMMMMMG my pc's gonna crash .
-stop please stop stop.
- wait! how do I stop this?
- tries CTRL+C ... nothing
- tries CTRL+Z ... nothing ...
.
.
.
.
Abort abort Aboooooort.
.
.
.
- Deletes extension from chrome.
-..... loop still running
- clicks on X to close Chrome.....
- not closing O_o
- Oh God, i need to do something before Chrome sucks all the RAM left.
- remembers the savior...
.
.
.
- Task Manager heeeelp me.
- opens Task manager
- chrome is consuming ~ 2 GB of RAM.
- WTF! Kills chrome.

Thanks for reading my lil adventure 😅

In an ideal world, I would write all the extensions/plugins etc for my employers needs, this way I can control the quality of code, customize anything I need to ensure the functionality is within scope etc...

However, in the real world, this is not feasible, sometimes buying an extension is cost effective and I don't have to reinvent the wheel yada yada....and in this case the extension was already bought before I was even employed....

Lately, I have been noticing, these extension devs get pretty creative in their copyright code...the code that ensures the extension was legitimately bought etc...

However, if you slow the functionality of my site down by a significant amount because you call home in an obfuscated portion of code and my site has to wait to load until it gets a response from your shitty ass extension server, and you are currently getting ddos'd or some other bullshit because your server is taking forever to respond..... I am going to find you and I am going to make your life miserable!!!

After of course, I bypass your shitty ass copyright bullshit so it doesn't fuck up my site loading.

I don't even have to de-obfuscate your stupid ass code, or even try to do the maths to come up with some sort of valid answer, because all you do is call the obfuscated function to check the license in another part of the code and expect a bool and return false if it is an inadequate response or continue on if it is a legitimate response....so I just comment out the function call to your crappy as obfuscated function.....

This is the most ridiculous and lamest attempt at writing a copyright license checker I have ever seen...

No wonder you are getting ddos'd!!!!

Does Devrant have a public API?
I'm trying to write an extension for my Vscode so I can read posts while working without having to launch the mobile app.

best way to promote a visual studio extension 😂

@dfox did you change something in devRant logo because my firefox extension seems to have some glich where only dev is showed and the rest of the text is invisible i think you probably changed the resolution of the image.

I'm working this whole weekend to rewrite/move an old custom made shop extension to the new shop.

The amount of possible SQL injections is too damn high and this piece of shit the creator calls code is the most pitiable thing I have ever seen!
I don't how you can call yourself an experienced programmer if you create SQL queries by concatenating strings and variables in raw PHP, copying the same fucking includefiles to 10 different folders and use all of them in random places.

I'm not angry at all, I just want to castrate you with a blunt, fake swiss army knife so mankind is safe from you multiplying yourself.

There's a devRant extension for Chrome & Firefox.

Please up vote this post so Edge users can too browse devRant in secrecy from there bosses!

Thanks 😁

browser extension to 100% protect against phishing attacks

Rant!
Got an email from an extension developer who releases code under GPL. Had a list of all sites using "our copy" of his software and demanding that we pay twice as much now for download access. We've only asked for support on one domain ever so this feels like an underhanded way to treat customers when your software is supposed to be GPL.

Absolutely need his product so we paid it. Feeling very annoyed that GPL software license isn't really being honored. And it's creepy that he's tracking it that way.

For those of you wanting dark themes for sites without them, look into the Stylish FF/Chrome extension. You can install themes for sites on it where it would otherwise require manual customisation.

I've currently got dark themes for Facebook, WhatsApp Web and Reddit.

So this just happened. A friend whom I made a little project for came to me like "hey man that project thing just gives a white page". It's written upon the old version of a framework I'm still writing. After a few minutes I found out that it's failing to load all core modules. Turns out there was a file in the core modules directory with the .save extension. Never thought I'd have to take that into consideration in my code!

Ran a sed find and replace function on project-folder/* instead of targeting a specific file extension. Fun Fact: sed replace will find those character combinations in image files, too. The site looked like you were on mushrooms. Thank goodness for git

Getting 260+ peeps to use my Chrome Extension :)

And creating a plugin for Sublime Text 3 in Python, even though I'm a webdev. It doesn't have any users except me, but it's awesome and I use it all the time. :)

Sadly my Unofficial devRant extension for firefox will no longer hold the last page you visited (When you comment it will no longer open the comment screen after you close it) because in the new API the HTML page reloads once you close and open it.
I may find a workaround but once version 2.0.1 is out this will not work.
Also the window will be smaller because there is a bug in firefox that limits the size of extension panel to heigh 580px (original one used 850)

Have u ever opened a website and thought if u had the chance, u would kill their fucking frontend guy. Ya well i had to open a lot of such websites on a daily basis , so i found a extension that lets me change the website's css. After tinkering for a while, i came with this for the homepage of duck duck go.

Guys unofficial devRant extension for firefox version 2.11 is out it now finally supports Firefox Quantum (Yayyyyy).
But i had to remove the notification feature.

Switched from Fedora to Manjaro and it is going preety smooth currently. Also Dash to Panel is just awesome extension. Works in full screen sessions as well

Plant trees while you search the web.

Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees with its ad revenue. Get the free browser extension and use Ecosia every time you search.

Everyone please use this use this to save the world :)

Every fucking time.....How am I going to break this habit.....

Me: need to add a feature to a pre-bought extension, instead of extending the functionality with my own module, it should be a quick modification inside the pre-bought extension code....really happy the extension is from an awesome well respected and very good development agency....

Get most of new functionality working, but there is one part I am having issue with...so, I start just inserting stuff, trying to make things work, spend literally 8 hours trying to hail mary this thing into working.....

Wasted day.....

Today, spend the time up front to actually read the existing code and understand exactly what it does and how it does it.....makes changes and everything works.....

Sigh.....

"Use this great extension for your IDE!"

Yeah, thanks, now I have 57 extensions installed and not one of them is useful because my fucking IDE crashes every fifth minute.

Inspecting Facebook source code using React extension & the source has so many things hidden in it.

Eg: Ad breaks!

Best: 100% of my contracts have resulted in extensions and permanent roles offered, after worrying I wasn't good enough to try contracting.

Worst: Used the wrong set of monitoring when doing my first deployment at a contract and thought what I had deployed was working fine. It wasn't. For 24 hours. Cost the company a lot of money. (why did they offer me an extension again?)

Favorite gcc extension: ({})
I'm not commenting why.

Yesterday, I came to Facebook Developer Circle Hackathon and the first idea that comes to my head is "Reduce Facebook, Reduce Suck". it's a Chrome Extension to block your Facebook while you working.

Anybody tried developing a chrome extension? I'm bloody lost, with LITERALLY trying to get a goddamn Hello World.
This is worse than when I tried editing in Vim.

Or worse yet, Java.

Tesla is 3 months late delivering our power walls after their 9 month estimate and now we are going to lose power from this tropical storm! Uggg extension cords and a diesel generator it is. Since this is a small company the “Director of Technology” title is very inclusive, so guess who’s gotta deal with getting this stuff situated, yep, yours truly.

I fucking HAAAAATEEEEEE the fucking damn new firefox API.
Yeah sure quntum is great but the damn API is totally fucked up and nothing is working in it correctly.
I made a extension for devRant with 500 downloads now (Yaaaay) and well i cannot implement notifs into it because well it doesnt work i cant get data from devRant when the extension is not opened.
FUUUUUUUCKKKKK that if i have to have opened extension for viewing fucking notifs then thats fucked up totally.
I mean that before they changed the fucking API notifs were showing up every minute and they were showing new Rant that poped out well i cant do that now because its mot possible to do so.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

So I'm working on a Gnome shell extension. Which is a nice integration wtih Todoist. It's far from done but it's starting to shape up.

From all projects and things I've done, this is a pain. There is almost no documentation so I'm almost entirely reliant on source codes of other extensions.

And yeah, stackoverflow isn't going to help you...

Fun project nevertheless :) Reminds me of the time I worked in WINAPI.

Those much extension functions in Kotlin...
Just tries a lot combinations and got reminded of the "Let it go"-Song

C# is dead to me. Fucking dead.

The fucking debugger won't evaluate custom extension methods, including certain LINQ extensions (that are built in). And you can't evaluate line-by-line.

So I'm chaining three simple operations:

fooCollection.SelectMany().Concat().CustomBar()

And I can't tell which one is fucked up, because I can't evaluate them individually. What's worse is my CustomBar is sort-of recursive, and it can't even fucking evaluate itself.

My fucking function, can't evaluate itself.

I've been stuck on this for 3 hours.

when youre working on a API and every testCase is all green plus manual testing thru Postman extension is all good..

then makes a web app use that API, authorization works as intended but the token is immedially invalid...

just..how..

After seeing it in a demo, the customer didn't like their first loading gif and they sent another one.
I go to open it to verify it's good and Gimp won't open it; Chrome, Firefox, IE, even MS Paint fails miserably. Eventually I ran file on it and it's an html doc.
So I changed the extension and loaded it up. He saved his slack window as a gif.

That feeling when your debugging your code for two days only to relies that the file extension you passed to a method and the file extension you expected are two completely different things :facepalm:

Boy oh boy.. Reminds me of good ol college days. I was in my final sem when Amazon came to our university for campus hiring. I was very confident that I will get selected. Funnily enough I went till the final round and I had a feeling that it went well if not excellent. It was a Friday night and we had to wait two excruciating days for the final shortlisted result to come. On the evening of Monday my friend T called me and told me my name is not on the list. I was heartbroken. I asked him who all got selected and he said our friend A did. A was, and still is a good friend of ours and I was happy for him. That night we sat down for drinks and as the night progressed I anguished over my selection. I still remember solving a binary tree problem holding a glass of whiskey in my one hand. The next morning I woke up at 6, detoxed myself with fruit juices and sat in front of my laptop feeling full rage from last night. I sat till lunch and hacked a chrome extension in one sitting. Mind you I had no existing knowledge of extensions at that point of time. I sometimes look how my life has turned since that time and now I am one of the devs in a team which work on a product that itself is a browser extension. :)

A very suspicious thing happened at work last Friday, security team told me to uninstall adblockplus and disconnect.me plugin 😟

PHP Websites configuration data stored in _hidden/config.inc

Yep, that .inc extension made it world readable.

I'm starting to get super paranoid about Bitcoin miners on websites. I have 12G of memory and occasionally my load average will sky rocket with only a few tabs open (like 8) and my memory consumption is outrageous. I need to find out the tells in the code that every Bitcoin miner uses and write a chrome extension. Disabling JS entirely is not really an option for me.

My biggest mistake was that I didn't check the file extension of a uploaded file. Or more correctly forgot that I turned it off for debugging and pushed the app to production.

Somebody noticed an uploaded a hacker php script and got access to all the files on the server. Including some semi sensetive clients information.

A talk with the client that followed was not a pleasant one

I was once again able to get the feeling of "I need something, so why not just make it", and it made me remember why i love programming

So, last night i was in my bed, about to fall asleep when i started to wonder: how much has my ZEC miner mined today, and how much is the payout going to be

i then took macBook from my nightstand, (Yes, i was a apple hater, now i only hate iOS) and started imiteadly typing, took like 15 mins and i had a working python script ready to push to my repo

past 2 weeks, i have been ON FIRE and made so many python thingies, also i made a quick and dirty chrome extension to retrieve a api key from cookies because the api to ket the key normally was fucked up
( i was surprised how fast i was able to make the extension, given that i have done no javascript in 2 years)

What is it with this bullshit culture about installing something syncs it with all machines
First chrome/chromium, You can't install a plugin or extension on 1 machine unless you're logged out. what is this bullshit

Next windows 10, I fucking installed a Japanese language pack on 1 machine, by the end of the day all my fucking machines and even my windows tablet got it installed and applied in a fucking bugged way that made it that my UI is English and my fucking metro apps are Japanese.

This is starting to get annoying as fuck

My C# class loves to come up with weird/unrealistic scenarios to teach a specific language feature... I feel like the more effective way to teach would be to mention a real life scenario where it makes more sense to use the feature and give it some context rather than coming up with some arbitrary series of classes to represent departments and employees and then say "write extension methods for them to write them out"

If you tell me that I'm going to go, ok this works, but is there a specific reason I should do this instead of using a for or foreach to do the exact same thing? Don't get me wrong I see the appeal of extension methods as well as LINQ but this class never gives any sort of context as to why we're doing stuff. This class could be good, I've had classes that focus on language specific features taught in ways that make sense... My Java prof did a great job...

Also all the slides are terribly written...

Like I attached an example of the description for extension methods... The slides then go on to explain how the syntax for them works and gives an example...

Like ok I guess technically you told me what they are and how to use them, but gave zero context...

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I go to MSDN for their definition of extension methods, and it is much more clearly written and gives context to where/why they're used... and this is supposed to be a 5th semester course...

What is tout favorite extension for VSCode ?

When you spend hours debugging why something doesn't compile and it turns out, it was because the extension was with a capital first letter...

My very first time was when I first saw a Web page, I really wanted to know how they did it. Two weeks later I built an intranet at home and I thought I was so cool I was shitting out ice cubes.

The very first programme I ever wrote was a secret diary application(C#) for myself I thought it was really secure because I had my own file extension. Not one of my finer moments.

While writing Python extension in C. ☺️

!rant

I spent a few hours making a VS Code plugin to improve my work flow, published it on the marketplace a few days ago so that I can easily install it everywhere. But to my surprise that shit gets about 7 installs a day! I don't get why. I don't have clear instructions on how to use it anywhere.

But hey, I'm not complaining! 😁

Be careful helping family, if they don't understand how a website are run and work they should not have a web-shop.

Sister who "runs" the shop never updates my payment extension nor knows how to update a single page and she wonder why my extension have so many faults even after i have updated it 5 times since i installed it for her 4 months ago and showed her how to click the "update" button. She yells and screaming i destroying her business.
And i still need to be kind to my sister; FML

I got so inspired when a chrome extension i made ,was used every day and is an important part of my every day student and development workflow.

It's on github right now.

YouTube lyrics error
Fired up DOM tools and JS console.
Look at some of the codes.
Found out it is extension problem.
Contacted musixmatch
no answer except automated email that they are looking after it.

Then, realized just now. (Yeah, now.) that I don't need lyrics just to hear a song. Wasted 3 days and 14 hours until now. Shit.

The best part of the day: when someone from SEO tells you how easy adding/updating an extension in magento2 should be.... Uhm, excuse me.

I didn't know this but every single chrome extension spawns off its own chrome.exe process. I had 11 chrome exe processes running and I didn't even have the browser open cause I use Firefox exclusively now. My laptop was crawling and I was wondering why cause I have 8 gigs of ram. After removing all the extensions my laptop became a speed demon again!

I need help.. I want to make a web app where me and my teammates can upload save files / project files. And then I want it to organize them by date, name, and file extension. Can someone suggest a place to store the files, host the app, and host/run the backend code.

Relative phones up worried about installing Adblocker as it "can store and modify the websites you visit"...my answer.."so can GCHQ, NSA AND CIA so just give in to the fact that you have no privacy and click ok"...*long pause*.."ok one more question, what's a chrome extension?"..FML

I watch videos online in 2x or more speed most of the time. It saves me time. Anyone? I use a browser extension to easily control the speed via rhe keyboard. I think it's called Video Speed Controller or something.

So, vs2015 is crashing when the process gets to 2gb .... 32bit .net process memory limit strikes again!!! 80 projects in the solution & what looks a run away extension is taking the memory !!!

Come on M$ it should be 64bit on a 64bit system!!

Now the hunt for the extension that's causing it!!

Just started using the Dark Reader extension for Firefox. Where has this been my whole life! The entire internet is now dark theme no matter what haha! My eyes are in heaven.

What is the whole hype about Vue? It just feels like angular 1 with vdom, inline styles and a custom file extension.

Few days ago a PPC campaign manager complained to me that the banners she got from her client were in an "unusual file format". Asked me to check it out because she couldn't open the file and she really needed the banners.

I kid you not, it had a .rar extension...
She, at the age of 30, had no idea what WinRar was...

When you need just simple plugin for the browser and what you get is a crypto miner fully utilizing single core :(

I fucking agreed for this extension to my internship only because my fucking manager told me, I'd get to work on something exciting. It's been 3 weeks on this new project and I'm still stuck at reverse engineering, feasibility and writing docs !!!!

I JUST WANT THIS THING TO BE OVER IT

Hey, here's an idea. Ethical cryptocurrency mining Adblock.

We've been talking a lot about mining as a revenue source and its ethics here, so that gave me an idea.

I've seen a lot of talk about blocking or boycotting mining websites.
Adblock has the "ethical ads" thing to allow reasonable ads to be displayed.

What if we made the mining equivalent of that: an extension that the user allows to mine with x resources, that prevents websites from doing their own mining, but which redistributes its mining results.

The website could just add a bit of script to tell the extension who they are, and while the page is on the foreground or streaming content, the extension would mine on their behalf.

This could also allow more transparency for the user: "your computer has generated x money for website y".

Wouldn't that be a nice middle ground? Does anyone know of a project like that?

Refused a deadline extension after all data for the project was lost the day before the deadline.

Just spent my whole day to implement a VSCode extension and as soon as I finished implementing it, I came to know that the feature already exists and only requires a config change. FML, WoD.

I came to work a while ago, just to see the newly hired senior dev struggling to install a chrome extension to firefox. He couldn't see why it wasnt working even after pointiglng it out.

C# devs go crazy once they found out that kotlin has got extension methods
and some other c#-like features

Just use Scala.
There's a reason books with titles like 'Scala for Java/C# refugees' exist

When I think my teachers can get any worse after sending me snippets of several Java classes in a single txt, one of them sent me SQL code of a full database dump in a Word document. 8 pages of SQL in its full glory!

I guess using the proper file extension/format or a service like PasteBin or GitHub Gist is way too advanced for them.

With the invention of pip every project done with python just fucken angers me. Like mostly nothing fucken works if there is a single .py file in there. You can put your easy-install.sh up your ass if it just ~tries~ to install shit via pip before because IT WONT WORK FUCK THIS SHIT!

STOP USING PYTHON FOR PROJECTS YOU RELEASE PLS CUS SHITS UNREADABLE AND WONT WORK ON MY MACHINE. MAKE ROOM FOR PROJECTS MANAGED BY NPM OR SHIT LIKE THAT WHERE `npm install` ACTUALLY DOES IT'S JOB THANKS I'M ANGRY AF.

WHAT DOES COLLECTING EVEN MEAN AND WHEN IS IT DONE DUDE?!

I really want to use gnome but I cannot deal with non global app menus and the extension does not cover all applications.

Idk why I'm ocd about appmenus, never even owned a Mac but global menus are just a super design.

XFCE it is... Would use cinnamon but I'm not running mint and I always break it in another distro.

What do you guys think about appmenus? I know in Windows it is what it is, but I can deal there.

Firefox Quantum broke mouse gestures of any kind in Linux by forcing the context menu to come up on right mouse down, instead of up.

Lots of people love Quantum, but without a viable mouse gestures extension, it's unusable for me. I downgraded back to 56 until this issue is resolved.

My dumbfuck hosting fucked up the mysqlnd installation and it is missing the pdo api extension. All my queries are returning strings for every field. It's easter so no support available. I've planned to deploy the new site in this weekend. Now i have to manually typecast after every query because i've used === everywhere. This will be a long day...

I hate my printer...
All day I was creating my CV, and I was creating it in Word from MS Office, in .docx extension...
I exported it to .pdf, it added margins, okay, I just need to live with it...
After that, I clicked `print` button in Word, so I wondered that will look the same as it was on preview before printing....but it wasn't...it looks horrible, even if I choose the black-white option, and all my work fucked up 'cuz stupid printer doesn't want to help me, fuck you my printer, I'll buy better one soon...

So I downloaded a chrome extension to change my default new window screen and instead of productivity and aesthetics I got an overly attached wannabe waifu :/

Well, support chat of my bank has nice avatars of persons answering my questions. But they so small...
Ok. Inspect element... Image link. Oh, it's just 2500x2500 image resized to 35x35... Now I just need a small hand-crafted chrome extension to add click to enlarge on these avatars.
These girls are really pretty though:)

"This thing you wrote to read text files isn't working and I don't have time to figure out so why don't you come fix it."

Well, no shit it isn't working. Your genius ass decided not to include the extension on the path... Something you would have realized had you taken the 15 seconds needed to read the error message. The fuck were you thinking?

If in emergency you have to hide porn..
Just put all in one folder and then compress
it with zip/rar and change the extension which none of your computer program can understand or just change it to .class or .cpp!

To the guy who made the chrome extension for DevRant, please make a back button. Everytime I read a comment I need to go back at the top of the news feed, which is kind of annoying.

Despite this - great job and thank you

You'll probably know that Google removed the direct image link in Image Search...

Is there a Chrome extension which brings that button back?
Should be easy to do because Google now embeds the original image on the search results page.
