Teacher: What the heck are you doing?!
Friend: I'm programming.
Teacher: I see, you're hacking the school database. You're going with me.
(Our school doesn't even have a database)
And I'm just sitting here typing this rant, trying to understand what the fuck just happened.38 -
Manager: When will you have finished this task?
Me: In about one hour
*One hour later*
Manager: You done yet?
Me: Give me another week

Food arrives, boss grabs his food.
Boss: ahhhh finally! *looks lovingly at food* you won't hear me for the next 15 minutes 😍 *starts eating*
Me: well that was about fucking time.
Boss: 😐😶
Other engineers: 😂 *trying to keep food in*4 -
Wrote a nodejs script which reads emails from my college searching for keywords like free, food, and refreshments. When it finds one of those it notifies me that free food is somewhere on campus.

Sometimes you run your code,
it doesn't work, so you run it again,
it works
Sometimes you open your fridge,
no food inside, so you close and open it again,
still no food inside13 -

Thanks DevRant Team for the stressball!😄

I accidentally taught my cat to turn off the wifi. Now he is using his powers against me whenever he demands food😅😫🤦2

I went out of office for a while, and when I was going to sit on my desk, a co-worker said me “Elizadeath, the boss wanna talk with you”. I was concerned, I though “maybe something broke in production code, or they need an urgent code, I don’t know”.
Well, that wasn’t what I expected.
“Elizadeath” she said “I’m seriously worry about you. I saw the plastic bottles our team has collected for the recyling project, and I realized that most of the Coca-Cola bottles came from you!”
Yes, it was a Coca-cola addiction intervention 😂 I’m drinking more water and less coke from now, for my health 😊

One of my neighbours came by today.
Her: So... I heard you're working on a website
Me: Yes, correct
Her: Nice, and does it all work?
Me: Yeah
Her: I use a WordPress template myself too
WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE SUCH LOW EXPECTATIONS OF ME6 -
Couldn't sleep last night. Spent about 5 hours laying down reading devRant.
Mom calls taxi to go shopping. I'm starving so I go with her. The only reason I went was to get food.
Half way there, so tired I could fall asleep while standing.
I order my food. Walk to bus stop. An hour until next bus. Fuck it, I'll get a taxi.
Phone slips out of pocket while in taxi. Goes under seat. Can't grab a hold of it.
Driver says you can just get it from the back before you leave. It will be easier. I put my food down infront of me. And try one last time.
He then spends the entire trip telling me how all these customers keep leaving shit in his car, etc. Meanwhile we almost got into 2 accidents. Anyway...
So we get to my house, I pay. I get out and get my phone. I walk inside the house. Open devRant.
Wait, where's my food?6 -
I did it! I am now part of a web company as an intern, entirely self-taught. This is so cool, when they looked at my code they were surprised about my skills and how clean my code was. Fuck yeah, I'm happy8

TL;DR: I have been changing stuff on a school computer and found various workarounds to do things that were blocked by the sysadmin and my classmates think I am a hacker.
I guess war has officially been declared between me and my school's sysadmin.
It all started about two weeks ago. I was bored while writing a report on a school computer, so I decided to lauch Chrome and pressed F12. Nothing happened, so I closed the window and opened Firefox. It worked there, and a few classmates started to scatter around me. They thought I was hacking a website so that changes would be permanent.
But what really matters in this story is that a few days later, nobody could start Firefox anymore, a message popped up saying the administrator blocked the application. Somebody must have reported it.
I also tried executing a Batch file, not succesful of course. But surprisingly enough .cmd files could be executed. But this has also been fixed a few days after.
So today I managed to remove Chrome's settings folder and the console popped up this time. Again, this was hacking from my classmates' point of view, so right now I am waiting for Chrome to be blocked. There are no other browsers currently installed, so let's see what happens.18 -
Reading an article on the web these days:
1.) "Sign up for our newsletter!"

5.) "You might also like <clickbait title here>"13 -
App ratings in a nutshell:
This is by far the best app of the entire store! But it doesn't have X feature so I rated it with 1 star. You will get 5 if X is added!
Everytime I start the app it crashes. I never fucking used the app itself, but just because I'm using an outdated system you only get 1 star. Please fix
I found a bug in the app and I do not tell you where the fuck it is located. Only 1 star for you
Awesome app but please remove ads. This is completely free but I don't want the dev who spent 10 hours a day developing this app to make any form of profit10 -
Today it finally happened. After years of unsecured FTP, `chmod -R 777 public_html` and outdated WordPress sites, a WordPress site at work just got hacked. They were just asking for it.

No, seriously, why does it feel so bright1 -
I really hate it when people immediately say "Yeah I don't get this stuff" even before taking a moment to even try to understand it. Mostly when talking about computers and coding
This even happens with the most simple thing I show. I sent someone a picture of a registration page I made, and I said: "This is where you create an account". He replies: "Yeah I don't get this stuff". I thought to myself: fuck, what is going on with this world if they dont even understand what a registration page is?
Another time I told my mom that data on databases is stored in tables just because I thought she was interested, and she said: "Yeah I don't get this stuff". COME ON EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT A TABLE IS.
Just stop saying you don't get it before I finished, just because its about code and programming, its fucking annoying and it makes me lose faith in humanity9 -
Lua is weird. Here's why:
- No () around conditions
- No curly brackets
- No ++ operator
- != is ~=
- Array starts at 1
- No semicolons needed
All I could think of, it's weird but I still use this language 😵18 -
I went to heaven yesterday.
So I had this talk with a guy from this school that teaches web development. After the conversation I had the chance to have a peek in the classroom. And there it was.
The first thing I noticed was a hipster programming stereotype walking out, then I heard some guys talking about pushing a branch and everyone had two screens. I got a brief explanation about what is taught there, like HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, MySQL, etc. It was amazing, I can't wait to join them!14 -
First they came for the atheists, and I didn't speak out - because I'm not an atheist
Then they came for the university teachers, and I didn't speak out - because I don't like universities
Then they came for the gamers, and I didn't speak out - because I don't play videogames
Then they came for Open Source and I didn't speak out - because "anyone can fork it"
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me
I know I butchered the poem and I'm not comparing our social situation to the Holocaust (obviously), but I think it kind of illustrates that silence and gradually giving up ideals like justice and meritocracy can end up badly.
I also encourage you to read the actual poem it's pretty nice and food for thought.5 -

Last night I met up with some old colleagues for food and drinks to have a catchup. Things have been stressful in work, was great to get out and have a bit of a rant and just relax ... until I saw the menu.
Hamburger:
xyz dressing / sauce, crispy onions ... and cheddar cheese.
That sir, is a fucking cheese burger, and just piss poor documentation. How have you managed to stay in business with such misleading information and false advertisements in your menu.
Thank you for ruing my evening!6 -
Welcome to the company I work at since 2 months, where we:
- do not have secure FTP
- do not have version control for 50% of our projects
- still use classic ASP for major projects
- give our public_html folder chmod 777
- do not have testing databases, only production ones
There's probably a lot more, but this is the first that came to my mind10 -
OH FOR HEAVENS SAKE!!!

Next time you throw away my perfectly fine food, I'll dig into the reflog, throw a dice and throw away 3 random commits of yours claiming that THEY EXPIRED!

Felt like a fucing badass just now. My boss sent me a message saying that one of the servers is down and that he can't reach anyone else and he doesn't know how to fix it.
So I sent him a couple of Linux commands to fix the issue and it worked! By his reaction you could tell he was really happy, and so was I!8 -

You know it's the holidays when you go to your parents house for dinner and fix the router, your mom's phone, your dad's iPhone, the smart tv, your brothers email account reset, your grandmas prehistoric phone and then you go to your wife's family for dinner and you find yourself fixing her mom's iPhone, her dad's laptop her uncle's tablet, her cousin's ps4 and every freaking thing that connects to the Wi-Fi. Well, it's the holidays, at least there was food and drinks all around...Happy New Year everyone 🍷2

Office survival tip #1: When in a new office with no kitchen, heat your food with the office heater.
How @JacoKotze and I are heating our food in our new office (no kitchen equipment or microwave yet)

Me: *meets new person*
New person (NP): So, what is your occupation?
Me: I'm a programmer.
NP: Really? Wow! So that means if my computer breaks down, you can fix it!

At that point I decided to just let it be. This is not the first time I am meeting someone who thinks programmers know anything about hardware automatically.13 -
Assuming that a designer can also be a game artist, I met this guy from China online and he seemed cool and all that, and we decided to make a game together, seeing as he was a good artist. I told him when the game would generate income once it's finished, we would do a 50% share. He agreed.
After a while of development, he sent me a message: "Hey dude where's my money?", and I was like: "What money? You agreed to have a share when we finish the game." He replied: "Yes but I need money, I don't care about you and your game. I want my money."
After this he kept sending me messages begging for money while he abandoned the project. Until one day he said: "I quit."
And that was the last time I worked together with someone on a game.10 -
So I went to a computer club in my neighbourhood today to attempt to make friends.
TL;DR: It didn't meet my expectations.
The first thing I noticed was that there were a lot of elderly people. One of them had a gaming laptop, by the way.
After that, the founder came up to me and he started to explain what they do. He said there's a group that uses Photoshop and another that uses Windows Movie Maker. When he asked me what I do, I told him. He said they have another programmer, he didn't mention which programming language he uses but he looked like he uses JavaScript.
He also mentioned there's someone who knows everything about computers. The guy even knows how to remove a virus. Trying to be sarcastic there.
At last there were these two stereotype shooter players. They were setting up a LAN party to play Battlefield together while they asked me what kind of games I play. I replied I play a lot of different games, seeing as I didn't feel like elaborating.
Am I going back? The only reason I could think of is sympathy.7 -

I just made the world a little cleaner by not opting for veal today. Instead they are selling insect burgers in Germany and I had two of them.
They are made from buffalo worms, feeded and grown in Germany. No antibiotics. Almost no wasted corn or wheat.
Taste: like a veggie pattie with nuts and seeds. Texture is surprisingly "smooth".
Quite expensive at the moment, but I'll go for it again (€5 for two patties).
Would you try them?

I fucking hate it when people start talking to me about how "amazing" this one programmer they know is. "He works at this large company where he writes very complicated code for huge companies." Upon asking at which company he works, the answer is: "I don't know. All I know is that he does great things"
Like what the fuck are you talking about if you know nothing about the guy, you act like you fuck him in the ass every night. You fucking know I'm working my ass off to make my dreams come true, and then you act like I'm not a programmer just because I like to avoid stress by not working at these huge companies?
Fuck you, fuck the son of a bitch at his huge company, and please fucking choke on your own dick5 -

Screw the language, fuck the compiler, piece of shit keeps throwing errors.
Oh wait I forgot to set a variable. That was easy

I finally fucking did it. I left the SoloLearn community for good, if it's even considered a community at all. Let me compile you a list why it is pure crap.
0. They only grant you totally impractical tutorials a few internet searches can teach you as well, maybe even more in-depth
1. Their challenge system is entirely unbalanced. Upon winning a challenge, you get 5 XP, if you lose one you lose 40 XP
2. Their Code Playground feed is filled with shitty pieces of code that do not teach anyone anything
3. Code Playground's intellisense sucks. When a variable name is autocompleted by the user and you press any other button, including on your keyboard, the autocompleted part simply disappears
4. A recent coding challenge was featuring that new Avengers movie where you had to create a web page featuring all Avengers. This is impossible to do for non-web developers like me, while their challenges are "for everyone"
5. The Q&A section is full of posts that are no questions. They use it to share their shitty programming memes and nobody gives a shit that that's completely off-topic
A pretty long rant but it's been worth it every word. Farewell, SoloLearn! Go fuck yourself7 -

Today our school arranged a presentation about privacy on the internet. The guy who did the presentation featured DuckDuckGo, which I already use. He said Google collects data, which can be unsafe and DuckDuckGo doesn't. No new information really, but here it comes.
While discussing a different topic, someone asked a question, and the guy answered it. Then he said: "If you want more information on this, you should Google it."
Like dude, how serious do you take this subject? He even said he has a Facebook account and that he rarely changes his passwords himself.8 -
not necessarily dev related, but fuck this tilted me heavily.
I was working my other job today, and we were up to 12 hour shift. about 6 hours in we finally get called for lunch.
so we go to the venue's restaurant, and to our surprise there were no meats at all to put on bread or whatever.
So we walk up to a worker there asking where we can find the meats. she replied "Its no meat monday, we only serve vegetarian today"
excuse me? I'm 100% fine with people being vegetarian, and think its great most places offer vegetarian meals now. but why the flying fuck do i have to be forced to be a vegetarian aswell now? where is my fucking no salad saturday or fried chicken friday where you only serve meats?
Ofcourse that doesnt exist because it would be "outrageous" to not think of vegetarians. but for some fucking reason its apparantly fine to deny people their meat.3 -
So, this is my co-workers hosting websites: They login as root, chmod -R 777 the entire fucking public_html, disable SELinux, use unsecured FTP, and then they are surprised all sites on that server are infected with some sort of crazy virus6

I made a game in just one week. All you could do was walking to the right and travel in a boat and hot air balloon and you played as a small square.
Nothing special, but it got a total of 70 downloads and someone wrote an article about it, and someone else made a YT video about it.

So I made a simple online game. One guy tested it and he complained about 4 or 5 visual things I was aware of.
I asked him if he found any code related errors and he said: I couldn't kill the enemies.

I used to have this friend who wants to learn how to code, so I referred him to a website that provides tutorials for multiple programming languages.

Update & Thoughts of AngelHack10 Abu Dhabi.
The judges were so non technical they were impressed by an app demo (not ours) that could recognize objects printed in black and white on an A4 paper. The app claimed to read the 3d shape of a device and calculate the running cost based on its power consumption.
I think hackathons must have two pitches one technical and one business. Else every one with hardcoded demos can fool the judges easily.1 -
First day at my internship. After an explanation of how everything works and which tools the company uses, I proceeded to setup my computer.
My first assignment was to write this dynamic thing that shows all the company's projects using an XML file with all data. I had to use the front-end the previous intern made.
So when I opened his old files, I was presented with some badly indented HTML. That's not the worst part: He mixed up rows with columns. I guess it's truly like the stories here on devRant. -

When i was younger, lesser experienced and more naive than now; i got away with a lot of things. By lot of things i mean security flaws in my applications and overall architecture. I realise now i could've so easily been pawned.
Not that i claim to be totally secure even now, or would ever. It is a process, slow and painful one - Learning.
What i wish to point out is the role of favorable probability (non believers would call it luck). Security is so much about it. You get away with so many things for so long. And bang one day the roll of dice is unfavorable. On such rare occasions, just look back and wonder - damn i should've been breached long ago.2 -

I worked with a delightfully eccentric co-worker for many years... He was a UI/UX guy by trade but had a uniquely broad set of experiences in life.
Typical day often included singing, nerd-ranting and general jovial conversation. He was always a hoot at lunch as well, choosing to loudly proclaim his ultimate satisfaction and enjoyment at the meal he was consuming. -
Just got pitched an idea to make an app that scans food and tells you what it is. It's supposed to be like Shazam but for food… sounds familiar?9

So, first: I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to code and love to think I know everything.
We had a group project at university and me being laid back but unknown to the other people, the "rest" of them was together with me in a group. We got to know each other and actually we were a pretty cool group. I guess "the rest" in a computer science course means you get the cool guys.^^
1/6 of us did ever code in C# and 2/6 even knows what an engine is and how unity works. I was in both sixths, got group leader somehow (if you'd know me from school. Omg. I was that one guy not knowing what went on, saying my two sentences at the presentation and took the B-.:D), so what to do to have a nice 2 weeks with them?
We did a crash course, I taught them some basics and everything.
The point is, i was hella nervous and i really get anxious if something is expected from me.
Long story short, I talked a whole week for 5-7 hours straight without real pauses and eating wayyy less a man should. Dude I was literally dead on my way home on friday evening. I felt like I would fall over any fucken second, i was all shakey, dizzy as hell, weird vision, everything. It felt like I was about to die on the spot.
I got home though, ate like 1/2 kilograms of pasta and felt myself coming back to life.:D
What to learn from this:
Keep the fuck calm, do pauses, drink and eat enough and don't rush all in for a fucken week without real rest..^^
It fucks you up and doesn't do anything good for your productivity.
We got an A btw, so in the end, all went good.(: -
So, is there something called Chicken Snack Wrap in other McDonalds ?

Can you guys list some of your favorite recipes in the comments?
Trying to find new food to cook, because I'm tired of making the same like 7 meals and that's it lol
If it doesn't have a meat, it's probably not for me, btw. But I will be open to trying things17 -
I can't be the only one who gets really hungry when coding? I just snack and snack and snack all day6

What the heck, every two weeks? This is no quality, just games that use the same framework with the same gameplay, just different sprites. Long story short, a quick cashgrab to live from another two weeks

I visit these tech meetups and most of the time I have no clue what they are talking about. It's good that they give free food.

Would you make an effort to make something like Peacefare? An app where you feed virtually homeless people virtual food?

I'm looking for recipe to try and make as I'm a bit too bored and my school life is being a bitch. Can anyone recommend me their favorite recipe?
And yes, I'm bold to assume you guys can cook22 -
I was having lunch today and I don't know why but I started wondering : what's the best meal to have while coding?
Very often, when I have a lot of stuff to do, I just eat while working. Mostly sandwiches or salads.
What about you? Do you ever eat while coding? What type of meal?6 -
The later I Stay up, the more wrappers appear next to my computer in the morning...

In the end it's all about the money, sexy wife and a big house, doesn't matter you're on LAMP or MEAN, azure or aws.. Focus one and master it till you're rare in your area. My advise to freshman developer as a developer who believed he will be a mediocre developer forever.6

The struggle it is to find some music and sounds for a small game I'm working on...
I have even come across this website that provides "free" sound effects, but every single track costs like $2.95. The word "free" was literally in their website name.
And then I didn't even mention the fact that 80% of these websites ask you to log in to download files from their end.
At last but not least, some are offering .mp3 files for free, while the .wav version, with the EXACT SAME FUCKING content costs money. I could literally just use a file converter
Can't wait until I get my stuff to create my own music and sound effects4 -
Couldn't find any satisfactory explanation online, so here is a question. Discussions idea etc are welcome.
How is the colour fill tool implemented in paint or other software?
I remember it running superfast on old 98 machines. Got me curious to think how they achieved it.
(correct me if I am wrong, recursion won't be a good idea for large images.)4 -

God damnit, I'm 20 and already got a burn out due to work (fast food job) and school.
I go to school 5 days a week 8 hours a day and I work every weekend 8 hours a day only so I can afford my study better and to be able to afford my internship to Japan next year.
The worst thing is I'm in a endless loop because if I stop with school I need to work full time to pay off my school loan and if I stop my work I can't pay for part of my school and my internship.
If anyone has any tips for me what to do before this ends badly I will gladly hear them2 -
Went to a food stall, ordered the dishes(very simple and must have dishes in any food stall) in menu, and they replied it not yet available.. coming soon...
I immediately thought that IT world has affected the food industry too..
Now, they have coming soon and TODO in their Menu..
Imagine, waiters telling:
"Sir, the dish you ordered is currently in beta testing phase, and we are working to push it into prod soon. Meanwhile, enjoy the existing features(dishes) provided by our restaurant" -
I usually take a shower to deal with low motivation. Ideas pop into my head and this gives me enough to keep going the coming couple of hours. I also continuously listen to music I like during development1

Programming just makes me want to eat tasty food. You taste so good but make me look more like Jabba than Han. Fucking love/hate food.

Hello fellow ranters.
I'm looking for some inspiration in the kitchen.
Lately I've been on somewhat of a health binge. So I'm looking for some ways to make my dry and uninteresting food more interesting. Like a sauce or something.
I usually like hummus a lot. But it's getting old. Does anyone have any fun I can take inspiration from?
I'm not looking for recepies, just inspiration.
Don't know if I need to say this but obviously I'm not looking for unhealthy stuff. So nothing too fat.15 -

What's your coding fuel? I often have pies at work so I guess that's mine. Aside from coffee of course!
Also damn, Asian noodles are strong! Got some imported ones from a local Spar. Decided to try the spicy one first since I'm not usually a spicy food guy. I couldn't get more than 3 bites in before I had to throw it away. Decided to have some of the Rice vermicelli I made instead.24 -

I've been trying to get a middle-healthy lifestyle (means I eat what I want while it's quality and not harmful, doing sports four times in a week, and stuff...) and actually I'm just waking up at a friend's home after a party where we just ate like two big fat cheesy French fries steak and cordon bleu European tacos (they look like a kebab, not Mexican stuff at all) asking myself where my self estime is.
Being a developer and loving to eat is really punitive sometimes... -
You know my best productivity hack was about my university hack was about food!!
We should reserve food 2days before the day we want
When time pass we should wait for someone else to cancel his/her,then reserve that one.
So my script checks canceled food list every 800ms and pick and reserve the best one for me asap. 😎😎2 -
This is one of my really passionate issue with the world, ** Food waste **
Isn't it the most dumbest problem? Every time a marriage, celebration, event happens at the end of the day a huge portion of the high quality food is just thrown into a dump. Does just picking up the trash or disposing the waste solve anything or is it just a way corporation schemed us to believe we are doing something for the world by disposing waste.5 -
I fucking hate it how the noun "addiction" is way too overused in general. If someone plays a game over 20 hours a week, someone apparently has a gaming addiction already. But that's way too broad. I think people should only use the word "addiction" when it truly affects someone in a bad manner.
For example, my dad keeps saying I have a computer addiction. Like what the fuck? If my hobby was to play the guitar and I spent more than 4 hours a day on that, am I a guitar addict? It's like using a computer is considered unhealthy...2 -

Final tests were made to an app that I've helped developed at the company. Not only the payment tests worked smoothly, in the end it was announced that the app will be nominated for best European app in the category of Food & Drinks
So happy for being part of such a good project ^^ -
Okay, so not eating has become a major problem now. This morning when i got out of bed and stood up, i fell backwards in to my bed again. I couldn't see anything, all black. A few minutes went past and i got back on my feet, got dressed and headed to school.
The thing is, a day can go past and i won't feel hungry at all. But i have to eat, but i don't.
Am i the only one with this problem?
Another thing that is happening is that when i get home from school i sit down in front of my computer and start to write some code, hours fly by and there goes that day, no homework done either.
No food, no homework. Only coding. I think i have a serious problem 😂.
On a side note, a few days ago i tasted coffee for the first time, and now i can't resist buying a cappuccino/latte when i walk past espresso house in the morning.
Here's a interesting question, why the fuck did you waste your time reading this? 😂1 -

I've just realised that Android O is Android Oreo, and I couldn't be happier. Here I am still using Marshmallow (which is equally as good, food wise), eagerly wanting to upgrade to Oreo.
Also, for those of you that do have Android Oreo, what's it like?3 -
For everybody who's had to start job hunting for their first real programming job, I have a few questions.
Is starting to apply for jobs 4-5 months ahead a good idea or is it better to wait it out with a 2-3 month time frame? I'm graduating in June 2019.
Is it better to apply for jobs with a search field of "junior developer" or to be more specific like "Jr Java web dev/Jr node.js"?
I know a lot of job descriptions are just company wishlists and not real indicators of skill. I have enough job experience to know how that part of the world works.
My aim is to try for Chicago(go Cubs) or New England, maybe Boston or NYC. I'd say I have a better shot with Chicago being just a 4 hour drive from home base. But, you never know. This is my first real shot at a job in this field so I'm trying to keep my expectations in check.
Hopefully I can get something to work before rumblings of the 2020 election start in my home state. 🙄2 -
I fucking love it when the intern is trying to help you with a complicated problem he knows nothing about but when you tell him it doesn't make sense he still acts like he knows better3

You know how the machine learning systems are in the news (and Ted talks, tech blogs, etc.) lately over how they're becoming blackbox logic machines, creating feedback loops that amply things like racism on YouTube, for example. Well, what might the ML/AI systems be doing with our code repositories? Maybe not so much yet, I don't know. But let's imagine. Do you think it's probably less worrisome? At first I didn't see as much harm potential, there's not really racist code, terrorist code, or code that makes people violence prone (okay, not entirely true...), but if you imagine the possibility that someone might use code repositories to create applications that modify code, or is capable of making new programs, or just finding and squishing bugs in code algorithmically, well then you have a system that could arguably start to get a little out of control! What if in squashing code bugs it decides the most prevalent bugs are from code that takes user input (just one of potentially infinite examples). Remember though, it's a blackbox of sorts and this is just one of possibly millions of code patterns it's finding troublesome, and most importantly it's happening slowly (at first). Just like how these ML forces are changing Google and YouTube algorithms so slowly that many don't notice the changes; this would presumably be similar and so it may not be as obvious as one would think. So anyways, 'it' starts refactoring code that takes user input into something 'safer'. Great! But what does this mean? Not for this specific example really, but this concept of blackbox ML/AI solutions to problems we didn't realize we had, what does a future with this stuff look like (Matrix jokes aside)? Well, I could go on all day with imaginative ideas... But talking to myself isn't so productive, let's start a fun community discussion here! Join in if you find this topic as interesting as I do! :)
Note: if you decide to post something like "SNN have made this problem...", or other technical jargan please explain it as clearly as possible. As the great Richard Feynman once said, the best way to show you understand a thing is to be able to explain it clearly to others who don't understand it... Or something like that ;)3 -
[googling devRanters before wasting time with Google]
Any of you does know of a cooking app/service where you can input the food that you have, the tools that you have and get back the recipes ordered by, for example, time-to-cook, the cooking difficulty and tastiness (the last one defined as how much of flavoured is the final meal)?14 -
You nut butter, contrary to pizza devs. This plus chocolate and fresh medium roast, plus Yerba mate is what can help me when working.
