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?

First time I heard a client say: "You've done a phenomenal job, but you've over-delivered. You should have come to me. We could have worked it out." after we had to ask for an extension.
That's a keeper.

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

Bing ban Chrome extension 🤣🤣

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

"alright, let's go to sleep"
*pulls out extension cord from monitors as I do every night*
*hears server buzzing disappearing*

😓

I entirely forgot that I connected my server which is running heavy and lengthy tasks, to that one, as well.

😧😥😬😰

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 )

!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. ☺️

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.

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"
)

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'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?

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.

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

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?

!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

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!!! 😎😎😎😎

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

Non ad Block
The chrome extension, that blocks everything but the ad's!

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**

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

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*

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

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

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.

!RANT
Me and My designer friend created a chrome extension, He designed the UI in like 10Mins and It took me 4 sleepless weekends to make it to v0.1 launch. It's hurts when people only say *pleasant UI, loving it* and all shit. 😒 I'm totally shroooved 😷

What the fuck vscode or the vim extension on it. You hanged everytime I tried typing

Fuck you vscode/vim extension

Uhhhh VSCode django extension, I appreciate the highlighting of the link to the documentation, but maybe it is overdone?

"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 ;)

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

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

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

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?

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

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

When you are studying Linux kernel at university course

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 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

Notifications in devRant extension working waiting for review

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!

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 -,-

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.

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 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.

"Please, click Add extension to close this page"

$ sudo killall chrome

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.

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

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.

God damn it lastpass, how the hell do you get a memory leak and an infinite loop in a fucking browser extension?! Using 7GB of RAM and all 8 cores @ 3,4GHz!!

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....

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

Chrome extension of Google Dictionary have a different definition for PHP

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?

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.

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!

Built my first chrome Extension by following docs.🎊🎉

What should I build next?

@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.

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

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

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

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..

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

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

I was having this poetic exchange with the maintainer of a vscode extension.
I guess he didn't see it coming... 😛👨‍💻

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?

best way to promote a visual studio extension 😂

there is nothing more redundant then using .file as a file extension

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

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 ...

Just published vscode extension to auto transform object accessors to nullable / safer accessors (&& chain).

search for “vscode-oat” in marketplace.

Looking for feedbacks :)

I just received an email from a weird company they wanted to offer me 150 dollars monthly to insert a script in my google chrome extension, when I asked about the script they sent me a function called "malmare"...

Nice...

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.

A review on Google Translate Extension for Chrome.

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

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)

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.

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 😁

Using "Go fucking work" Chrome extension.

I hope there is a rusty miniature guillotine wrapped tightly around each microsoft vsCode developers fingers and each time the global server gets a signal that somewhere an extension host froze, instantly cuts a finger off.

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.

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.

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.

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.

the INSTALL button in vscode extension installer is so freakishly tiny

Random Tip (since ppl don't seem to know)

Dark Reader chrome extension
turns everything to dark theme
works on devrant too, although their native dt is better

not sure about firefox

browser extension to 100% protect against phishing attacks

I've lost 3 hours trying to implement third-party extension just to realize I've never imported it into the project.

Why me?

Gotta love these complete and approved opengl extensions

"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.

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.

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

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

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

Fuck developers who write docs for their proprietary shit but neglect the basic setup, as if you are expected to know that

I'm looking at you, Vscode extension api

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.

I had a pretty good laugh just now.
There's this extension I wrote for our client's online shop which enables them to create template files via the backend. Essentially it's just an editor reading and writing files from/to a directory.

So I installed said extension using a package I found locally, thinking it was the latest release. Unfortunately it was not.

As I said the extension writes template files within it's own directory and back when I had packed up the extension, I must had forgotten to delete these template files resulting from tests and messing around.

Long story short, I just received a ticket about a line of text suddenly showing up below the product page description saying: "I like turtles!"

The ticket itself was very professional though and the client didn't forget to mention that the "notice" was not part of their product feed data. No shit! LOL

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

Eg: Ad breaks!

I have posted my first app on my Chrome web store, ironically it is the first project that I have finished ever. It blocks hides messages from a specific person in VK and is literally an inside joke

Tried vim. Can't be fucking bothered. I'll just use the vim extension for VS Code.

PHP Websites configuration data stored in _hidden/config.inc

Yep, that .inc extension made it world readable.

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:

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...

!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! 😁

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..

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?!

"The Marketplace has extensions that can help with '.disable' files"

Humor me VSCode Marketplace... what fucking extension do you recommend for my '.disable' file today?

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!!

All I wanted to do want uninstall an extension from Visual Studio and then a message came up "Please update Visual Studio Installer before proceeding."

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 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.

Trying to code a Chrome extension with Native messaging so that it can communicate with my python script. Just kill me.

Can't even get the example from Google to install correctly.

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

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.

What is tout favorite extension for VSCode ?

An extension to evaluate your github repository

While writing Python extension in C. ☺️

What’s the point of the Vim extension for VS Code?

So many users

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...

Learning how to make browser plugins by shamelessly ripping off my favourite dumb Reddit Enhancement Suite feature. DevRant Nicknames, coming Soon™️.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

I'm as nervous as a guy who just proposed.

I had been contributing to a vs code extension for more than 6 months now. And my contributions were good. Recently I put forth few plans for the development of the extension to the repo owner and he accepted it.

One of the ideas is to ask the owner of another similar repo to merge with us and help us make the best there is.

I had just sent a detailed mail to him and waiting for a reply. Hope he says yes 🙈

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

TIL I can help support devRant for less than the cost of a coffee per month. (And you can too, if you're not already) I'm digging the edit time extension and the ++ tag in threads.

Cheers, dfox and trogus!

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...

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?

Super selfish and targeted question:
Favourite singular VSCode extension?
Not the ones everyone has / are very common, something you have that most might not, be it because it's functionality is not very useful, because it's not very known, etc...

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:)

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

Is there is an extension in VSCode where the ";" is added (when needed) if the file extension is for the programming language which support ";" ?

I been switching back and forth from the python and C++ and my sub-conscious is killing me.

Now it's a C++ I need a ";" , moment later I am coding in python and python don't need ";" .

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.

Guysss!!
I have created a chrome extension to copy all tab links
And other window tab links as well. But when I was about to upload to chrome. It said, we don't give support to windows /mac / Linux . So the extension will be given support only for chrome os users.
I uploaded it.
So chrome users. Please take a look at it.
Extension name: JUST COPY.

please share the extension link with me!

Thanks in advance.

Woo hoo, how I just love having to develop an extension to a system that the company bought 😍
Especially when there is an API that is completely undocumented, not even mentioned on their site 😍
Even more when it's a feature you expected to be there when you bought the system, because it's a reasonable thing to expect 😍

Fucking Ubiquity Unifi Video 😭

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

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.

Me: *Starts to code for uni assignment*
Puts ANY sort of music in the background => hours of coding go by, beautifully.
Tries to code without music due to broken headphones => 5 min feels like an eternity and nothing makes sense...
I swear, "my headphones broke" should be a valid reason for an extension.

Fuck u stupid vs code php extension.

The cc processing extension I'm about to try and write with a hangover

Apple is fucking EVERYONE over with Safari 12. They are changing how extensions communicate with the browser, they are calling the new type of extensions Safari App Extensions. It means all current Safari Extensions will not work in Safari 12.

The problem with this is that they require all extensions to have this “backend” written in Swift with a VERY LIMITED API. Maybe you want to close a tab with your extension? “Fuck you, you’re not allowed” are Apple’s response to that. On top of this shit show their documentation is horrendous.

They will kill the extension ecosystem with this new approach, I’m sure of it, because most of the current extensions will not be able to migrate all their features to the new approach. They have built the API around specific extension types, so lots of extensions will simply not work in Safari 12. For distribution they will only allow extensions to be distributed via their new(?) Extension Store where they will review your code, just like an app for App Store. Unless you’re in the Apple Developer Program, which is $99/year.

I do not understand this change and I think it will hurt Apple in the sense that people will use other browsers where extensions are not as strictly controlled. Usually I understand Apple’s changes but this one is just beyond me. 🦆 you 🍎.
