Me: *just playing around with Git on my terminal*
Friend: "Man, you're such a geek, typing your git command on the terminal.. I myself can't use git without the GUI at all"
Me: *stares at him in silence*
Me: "Wait... THERE 'S A GUI FOR THAT?"
*true story when I was in college*46 -

Discussion between me and my N+1
(Note : I'm in the company for 3 months)
Me : As the tech leader, shouldn't you review my code ?
N+1 : I'm not the tech leader.
Me : Wait what ?
N+1 : I wrote the app from A to Z, hence I'm the architect.
Me : That's what I mean. Being the most knowledgable dev in the company makes you de facto tech leader.
N+1 : No, I'm not the tech leader. The CEO is.
Me : But he didn't even know the tech we are using !
N+1 : .... Anyway, I won't do code reviews. I don't like that.
(2 hours later)
N+1 : You made a mistake in the code. You broke a hidden functionality. You should be more careful, or ask me if you have doubts.
This guy is collector.3 -
So we were supposed to make a presentation at school. So I made it about malware. I sent it to my teacher and she deleted it because it had attached file named malware.pptx ... She actually thought that I sent her a malware5

My own language, hence my own parser.
Reinvented the regular expression before realizing it already existed (Google didn't exist at the time).
I'm a living reference for regular expressions since then.7 -
@dfox I just want to say thank you !
Most of my friends are not devs at all. Thanks to you, I can share my adventures to people that actually understand what I'm talking about.
This is priceless.10 -
So today a colleague totally new to the linux world was installing different distros to try and toy with, he knew I have linux on my laptop and asked what distro.
Apparently he couldn't get Manjaro working so asked if I could suggest him another ... obviously for the lols I recommended Arch ...
Some time later, I checked on him and he was still in the console of the live usb, he told me, he was waiting for the gui to load for the past half an hour ...
... I think he hates me now5 -
So my sister just came home from her first real work after university (teacher) and this is how our conversation went sister(S) me(M)
S: Hi do you have time?
M: Why?
S: Soo... I've got a computer from work and don't its slow af and then it died.
M: Did you try charging it?
S: ...
M: ...
M: *plugs the charger and it turns it on
HOLY FUCKING SHIT. The whole 1 TB disk is just packed with shit documents dating back to 2013. So here I am 45 minutes later still uninstalling unnecessary software and documents. I even found a folder with pictures of hot half naked guys... it had 3 GB... I don't want to know what the previous teacher was doing.18 -

Story time..m
So I have "computer classes" ay school every monday. As I ranted before we are working with pascal... And one of my classmates told the teacher he is used to using % insted of MODULE from python. So i was like hmm so im not thr only one "coding" here? I was wrong ... He is a totall moron, thats probably the only thing he knows but he is always acting like the fucking smartass from now. HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT VARIABLES ARE! He is telling random things to teacher so he can look like he knows whats doing. Like litrrwlly its just random crap like
Teacher : " so for loop anyone knows what it is?"
Him :" yes its false"
Teacher "so you put variable here"
Him "yea i know python i know what im doing"
... "What is variablr again?"
FOR FUCKS SAKE WHY IS HE DOING THIS I LITETALLY WANT TO SMASH KEYBOARD INTO HIS FACE2 -
So I'm browsing peopleperhour job offers. Some of them are so ridiculous. My top ones are

3. Someone wants pretty complex website for 10$. (its something with articles, users, comments, polls etc.)5 -

Since I am feeling a bit better but I still don't have to go to school I've decided to spend my free time with learning something new. I thought it would be a good idea to make my own devrant apis while learning gui programming. I literally just managed to add one button which is positioned like a retard. Also I couldn't figure out why my grid positioning wasn't working. After 1 hour I somehow managed to solve it and this little label which i forgot exists appeared.

Coworker:" ...so this openflow switch has a really great CLI tool that lets you configure all sorts of settings programatically such as..."
Boss: "I don't like CLI tools, they're too hard to use and can be unreliable. Before you do your task, can you spend a couple of weeks writing a REST API and a web interface to the network switch so you don't have to rely on CLI commands? I think that will be much better and safer."
Coworker: "Well, will you ever have to use it? I think I'll be okay with just the CLI, I actually prefer it..."
Boss: "No, the CLI is unsafe, please just write a REST API and get back to me in a couple of weeks."
Me: *dies inside*
The program they're using is closed-source. Any REST API will have to just make calls in a subprocess shell to the CLI binary.
There were just so many things wrong with the scenario I facepalmed my way out of the conference room.14 -
Even If you give me an OS with great and fast GUI, I would still prefer better CLI (Command Line Interface)18

Him: "I don't need source control, it's just another program that does unknown things on my source files. What if one day it stops working?? How do I get my files??"
Me: "you could say the same thing on 90% of the tools you use every day... Like when you restore npm packages by GUI"
him: "what are those? I don't use them"
Also him: "command line is vintage"2 -

I'm an idiot. I freely admit this. I spent a solid 3 hours on a new endpoint in a WCF service, only to have it looked upon and told to fix it. I knew that the service I was calling didn't work like that. I did, I knew it. I didn't think about it while coding the endpoint, but I knew it. At least the changes only needed to happen in one file, and only took about 25 minutes with tests and all. But damn it, I knew better. I looked at my buddy, straight in the eye, and told him "Told you I was an idiot." He laughed, I laughed, the table laughed, we killed the table. It was a great time!1 -
TL;DR : do we need a read-only git proxy
Guys, I just thought about something and this potential gitpocalypse.
There is no doubt anymore that regardless of Microsoft's decisions about Github, some projects will or already have migrated to the competition.
I'm thinking : some projects use the git link to fetch the code. If a dependency gets migrated, it won't be updated anymore, or worse, if the previous repo gets deleted, it can break the project.
Hence my idea : create some repository facade to any public git repository (regardless of their actual location).
Instead of using github.com/any/thing.git, we could use opensourcegit.com/any/thing.git. (fake url for the sake of the example).
It would redirect to the right repository (for public read only), and the owner could change the location of the actual repository in case of a migration.
What do you think ? If I get enough ++'s, I'll create a git repo about this.6 -

!activism
Guys, what should we do about Article 13 ?
The bill passed, well, that's unfortunate. We can still scream as loud as we can that it's a very bad idea, but let's face it, it won't probably work...
Personally, I'm sick of this shit. Every year they try to "regulate" the web with a new fucked-up legislation that they actually don't understand. I don't blame them for not knowing any better, but I blame them not to surround themselves with actually competent people (and no, lobbies are NOT competent, only interested).
So there it is : I want to act on this one. With traditional, ineffective methods (petitions, mails...), but I want to get further this time.
Here are some ideas :
- create/promote a platform explicitly made for "copyrighted" stuff (basically memes). Located outside of EU. But is it enough for being outside of the law ?
- Put some physical-paper memes near the EU parliament (I live in Brussels), just to mess with them ^_^
- Make the filtering algorithms crazy by spamming them with copyrighted content. I doubt this one will have any effect though...
Any ideas ? Let's go crazy there, they deserve it.8 -
I remember when I was a small kid I played on computer and I often got curious about other stuff. I pointed on internet explorer and asked dad whats that ? His face changed to face full of fear as he realized that if I click om it the whole computer would freeze. He just told me "NEVER EVER CLICK ON IT " now I understand.3

**My Resume** : Worked with JavaScript and .NET for the last 3 years ... have an Associates degree...more things
**Recruiter**
You look like you'd be a great fit for this position. We require a Bachelors degree, but we're willing to take 4 years progressive experience in lieu of each year of schooling.
**First**
4 YEARS of experience for EACH YEAR of school?
**Me**
I guess basic reading and math aren't required to be a job recruiter? Man...Only 5 more years and I'll be able to see how my skills as a developer with 8 years of professional experience will go over as an Entry level developer!1 -

To all American devs there. When you create app/something which uses your ehm mile/inches/fahrenheit/something system, do you also include metric system?

So I go to school in a small town and when I need something I go to the one and only shop which sells ehm "tech stuff" and it got kinda weird cuz its small and I'm there way too often. First time I went to buy a mouse, 3 days later I came there fór headphones on mobile, week later usb cable, 2 weeks later micro SD card and the personel is like "oh that guy again, what a fuckin weirdo". Now I realized I need another micro SD card but I'm too scared to go there again. Btw: online shopping is not an option, that would require to go to the post office and those damn women hate me, also too many old people.2

@dfox the reply and modify buttons on the last comment in a rant on iphone6 is very close to the social media icons and comment button.

Gosh only Idiots out there...
Told my coworker, to install the tomar manager on server 1. Same easiest way for him just copy it from server 2. He was already in console of the first... then I see that he opened winscp, navigating via gui to the directory miss clicked a few times. Tried drag and drop the folder to desktop. Get notified that he didn't installed the plugin. Dragged it to another folder on his pc in winscp. Started new session of winscp for the other server. And so on. I said after he started the first winscp that the command line would be 1000x faster.
Meanwhile I wrote the command for this torture on a sticky note and left the room. That wastes too much time of 2 ppls. Good old days when the most people's know how to use a console.3 -
While I was working on a university project with my team, a teammate asked me why the window of the program in my screen was bigger than in his. I simply answered him that his screen was a FullHD one that had a 1920x1080 resolution, while mine had a lower resolution, and he was like "Noo! This isn't a fullhd screen, it's not so sharp".
So I showed him the "1920x1080" sticker right below his screen, and him again "Yeah, it could have this resolution but definitely it's not a FullHD screen".
- Ok, as you say...
The same guy two days ago was talking about creating a GUI in C.
I told him that C was the wrong language to build programs with a GUI, although there's some very old libs that allow you to do that in 16bit.
And him again: "Ok but Linux (distros) do that and the UIs are great!"
- Do you think that all the fucking Ubuntu/Mint/any distro code is written in C??
The funny thing is the arrogance with which he says all these bullshits.
P. S. We are attending the 3rd year of Computer Engineering.7 -
Has been a long time since I'm appreciating working with GRPC.
Amazingly fast and full-featured protocol! No complaints at all.
Although I felt something was missing...
Back in the days of HTTP, we were all given very simple tools for making requests to verify behaviours and data of any of our HTTP endpoints, tools like curl, postman, wget and so on...
This toolset gives us definitely a nice and quick way to explore our HTTP services, debug them when necessary and be efficient.
This is probably what I miss the most from HTTP.
When you want to debug a remote endpoint with GRPC, you need to actually write a client by hand (in any of the supported language) then run it.
There are alternatives in the open source world, but those wants you to either configure the server to support Reflection or add a proxy in front of your services to be able to query them in a simpler way.
This is not how things work in 2018 almost 2019.
We want simple, quick and efficient tools that make our life easier and having problems more under control.
I'm a developer my self and I feel this on my skin every day. I don't want to change my server or add an infrastructure component for the simple reason of being able to query it in a simpler way!
However, This exact problem has been solved many times from HTTP or other protocols, so we should do something about our beloved GRPC.
Fine! I've told to my self. Let's fix this.
A few weeks later...
I'm glad to announce the first Release of BloomRPC - The first GRPC Client GUI that is nice and simple,
It allows to query and explore your GRPC services with just a couple of clicks without any additional modification to what you have running right now! Just install the client and start making requests.
It has been built with the Electron technology so its a desktop app and it supports the 3 major platforms, Mac, Linux, Windows.
Check out the repository on GitHub: https://github.com/uw-labs/bloomrpc
This is the first step towards the goal of having a simple and efficient way of querying GRPC services!
Keep in mind that It is in its first release, so improvements will follow along with future releases.
Your feedback and contributions are very welcome.
If you have the same frustration with GRPC I hope BloomRPC will make you a bit happier!

Not a rant, just me venting.
I hate fucking Windows with and all this fucking shit with it. I'm constantly deleting stupid fuckiing games like candy crush and shit because windows installed it without my FUCKING knowledge. My laptop is fucking dying and it runs 10 times slower on FUCKING WINDOWS. Now my browsers are fucked up chrome is glitching like FUCK (my previous rant) and firefox also has some problems with text which is in fucking rectangles or invisible.
The worst part about this is that I CANT INSTALL FUCKING LINUX because apparently my laptop has ssome kind of issue with linux and it keeps freezing, no matter what distro or kernel and there isnt a fucking fix to it. Or I didn't find it and trust me I TRIED. I found out that many people with my laptop have the same issue with linux but not a single thread is solved.I found only one and I got fucking error cuz the site where it was posted is probably down. WHAT THE FUCK I JUST WANT TO DO MY THING AND BE LEFT ALONE AND NOT STRUGGLE WITH FUCKING OS FUCK THIS.
PS: YES I UPDATED ALL DRIVERS AND SHIT.12 -

The interface for time input in outlook Web on mobile is driving me crazy!! It's not as if there was a built in control that is well supported in all modern browsers.... Right
1. You can't tap on an hour to select it
2. You can only select by scrolling
3. The scrolling is "smooth scrolling". So you have N O fucking chance to select the time slot you wanted. After too much time has passed you just give up and accept that your meeting will be at 09:57
4. In order to go up in time you constantly activate the"pull to refresh" feature of Chrome.
I'm definitely no mindless MS hater but this I cannot tolerate.

When your family and friends hink that you just sit at home and play video games all day but you are learning how to code and you dont want to tell them because you are scared that they will make fun of you ,or they would think that you are some kind of pro and then would be disapointed when they would find out that you are just a beginner or that they would think that you
are just showing off.5 -
A simple poll
Let's say there is a program or whatever sort of thing that does the exact same thing except the gui...
1. A shitty gui with default buttons, etc but with ok paddings and margins so that it is a bit usable (if it is a web app, no css) -- 5MB
2. A super cool 1337 h4X0R looking gui with awesome animations -- 100MB

Was the selector wrong? Nope
Well it was the right file yeah? Yup
So after like 10min of scratching my head, restarting the server, etc it turns out I was checking prod instead of dev.
This isn't even the first time this has happened 😑
Guys just remember to keep your dev tab and your prod tab away from each other, like way away.8 -
As a Dev in college working for teams in college, I don't really have a need to use git, since most of 'self proclaimed prestigious programmer child prodigies' I work with have no idea what it is; but I use it anyways as good programming practice and ease of backups.
So I tried using a GUI client after months of the git bash, and even though I looked up a few tutorials (was embarrassed the whole fucking time). I ended up adding, committing and pushing via bash.
Can anyone explain me how is the GUI client helpful in large projects and stuff?8 -
About a year ago, the organization I work for decided we don't really need team leads. We would be more self organizing if we didn't have technical leads. Now, one of those former leads who feels out of place can't get over it. She is constantly trying to add her two cents -- which is totally cool -- but in such a way as to make it sound/seem like we need to do what she says. Also, based on everything I've seen from her coding ability, I'm not sure how she ever became a tech lead. That's coming from me, and let me tell you, I feel SUPER junior sometimes. Like how the hell did they ever offer me a job junior. Well anyway, another dude was working with her the other day (we do pair programming) and snapped. He flipped out for like a solid 3 minutes on her. It was the most awkward thing I think I've ever experienced.5

I actually hate "computer classes" in my school. Next month we are going on making websites. It will be some basic ugly html without css and only thing we will do will be like "This is my website *random picture". Believe me I checked the files of a student one grade above me and thats what they do. My classmate will be acting like haxor again because he knows html css and VERY basic js. The other 90% of the group will be completely off while I will be browsing devrant because teacher will be explaining every single one of them what h1 tag does. Finally when the lesson ends everyone will be talking " i dont know why they teach us this difficult stuff". Oh why is high school so dark. These lessons are just killing me from inside, not because we learn basic stuff because they expect us to know nothing, but because of the people there, their comments and teachers lack of knowledge. I mean cmon how can you teach computer classes when you delete email just because it says malware(my previous rant). It drains me.5

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME, WINDOWS?
I finally give in and install your stupid ass update, and what happens? let's just skip the part where i sit around for 30 minutes because apparently it takes 30 fucking minutes to install 300MB - by stallman's underpants, that's 150KB per second!
and when windows FINALLY feels like it has finished fondling it's binary-balls, what is waiting for me?
about 10 stupid-ass data-consent notices straight from satans anus, more weird yes-or-maybe settings for cortana (bill gates' ex or whatever that is) which i don't even USE, my browser speed dial has been complemented by about 7 links to SHOPPING SITES and once i sort that mess out i get a notification that the german language pack has successfully been installed.
SUCK MY FUCKING D*CK MICROSOFT, the ONLY thing i want to do with that language pack is SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS. i can't even uninstall that moronic piece of shit. FUCK YOU.2 -
Tests are great. Used to work for {{probably shouldn't disclose company name}} and the only test was "Look, this one thing did what I thought it would!" when you finished coding a feature. Everything else was just a very shallow smoke test manually preformed by someone who hated their job. Now I work for Veterans United. Unit test all the things, all the time. First. Actual TDD here folks. Now, when you code a feature you can run all the unit tests, integration tests, and then smoke test it! We even have a bunch of UI tests if you feel like running them (mostly in Selenium, but some Protractor and now Nightmare). It's crazy. Having worked for the first company, I thought unit testing sounded horrible. Why would I want to do that? Now, working at VU, I'm like "Unit test all the things!" Things work, and I know it. More importantly, I can prove it. Great shit!1
-
So we have this team that deploys some code. We had a change in that code that "we" forgot about. Turns out, a dev on our team decided it would be cool to rename an endpoint. Why? Great question. Because. So this code gets deployed, but the call to that endpoint didn't get deployed. System 2 tries to call the endpoint, 404. We roll back, we're searching, after like an hour, we find it. We go to TFS to see who did it. The dev grabs my keyboard and starts checking diffs, somehow managing to skip their commit (from 5 months earlier). I take back my keyboard and *surprise* it was the commit that was skipped. WTF? Why did you rename that endpoint? What do you mean you didn't do it? It has your name right there!4

I've just realized that I have developed some kind of fear of asking questions since when I was young and annoying I always got answer "google it". Maybe internet ruined me...

So I sometimes really just find them somewhere and find it because I didn't want to be annoying.3

Do any of you know of a good lightweight cross platform GUI system that doesn't use C++, .NET or Node.js? I'm kinda tired of those three.
Bonus points if it's easy to learn.

(TL;DR at bottom)
Does anyone else feel that modern GUI's or webpages or anything thats 2-D and modernized, just seem to contain 10x less data that old interfaces.
Disclaimer: First time uploading picture, idk how it will go)
Let's say Google's Inbox, compared to the old Gmail interface... (In attached picture)
I am the only one annoyed by this?
I really like the look and everything and I love modern designs, but please please, keep the functionality there. I just feel like there is 10x less options to do when I see a system converted to a new modernized design. Even YouTube look ugly now, that I am convinced there are about 10 buttons less under each video.
(New <-> Old in attached picture)
Thinking objectively, all of the buttons are still there, but from other experiences, I just always get discouraged when I see a product with a minimalistic design, and am immediately turned away from it, expecting that I wont have any sort of ability to customize my settings.
If you say that fancier GUI's take too much work to make all he settings, the fucking don't make a modern GUI... I want something I can tailor to my needs... There is always a good line in between, just like "old" youtube's design...
Maybe thats why I hated LastPass with it's fancy GUI's and instead preferred KeePass for my passwords...
As promised:
TL;DR
Anyone else hate modern GUI's since they usually lack features?

We're looking to change the domain provider we use to register new client's domains to one that has an API.
So far it looks like it'll either be namecheap or AWS's Route 53.
We're also looking for the same thing with mail inboxes.
Do you have any recommendations / experience with either of these?
I was hoping to find a solution that would provide both the domain registration and the mailboxes with no hosting and accessible via API but I've had no such luck.
(Except for maybe two, but neither looked up to date)10 -
WARNING: I just need to vent.
WHY the fuck does my family send me emails with random questions instead of sending texts or calling me. Why do people think that I'm constantly checking my emails more than once per day.

YOU CAN JUST FUCKING TEXT ME INSTEAD OF ASKING ME WHERE DO I WANT TO GO FOR A LUNCH AND THEN GETTING MAD FOR NOT ANSWERING INSTANTLY ON A FUCKING EMAIL.

Is it only me or is anyone else confused as me ? I don't know the difference between angular js , node.js or react. Some people say that if you know node you dont need to learn php and I dont know if its true and that django, laravel and you can even use python in web development ? like how am I supposed to know all these things , well probably I don't need to. I feel like until now I lived in cave with html,css, javascript , jquery and I knew php exist and then someone kicked my out and hit me with car multiple times.2

Anyone has experience with Linux desktop software development?
I'm gonna develop a GUI software that should work on most Linux distros.
What is the best way to develop for Linux? I'm not familiar with python, I would prefer C++. I've used gtk+ long time back. Is it still good, or are there better options nowadays?4 -

I need advice!
I have a project idea that involves creating a cross platform gui but I cannot decide on a framework.
I have been toying with the idea of electron(ugh please no), c++ with either gtk+ or qt, Java with JavaFx.
I really want to be be able to create binaries for Mac windows and Linux while keeping bundlesize low and efficiency high. With this in mind I am leaning towards a c++ implementation but qt (which seems to be the best option for this route) has an insane learning curve. Is there something I am not thinking of that would satisfy these requirements?10 -
This year I'm asked to teach Python with a GUI, but I've never used a graphic interface with Python. The chosen GUI must:
- Have an IDE, a sort of "drag and drop builder"
- Be capable of building software with forms, menus and multiple windows.
- Work with Windows 7 at least.
- Work with Python 3+
Any suggestions?
So far I tried:
- Tkinter: comes with the language (point in favor), but wasn't really able to make it work. Has no proper IDE, tried to use a builder called PAGE but doesn't seem to work.
- WxPython: didn't really play much with it. I've read some articles, but that's all.
- Qt: used several years ago with Ruby. Has an IDE (point in favor), but never tried with Python. This is my winner so far, the one big problem being the amount of stuff to install to properly work.15 -
vim...no GUI for Windows for vimRC?? Seriously? gvim is fine as a gui but I want a gui to configure vimrc. Give me sliders and drop down boxes with live visable updates to see what it does right away with common vim options that saves to my vimrc. You know, like a edit ->preferences dialog box with tabs and scroll bars etc that updates the config file for vim directly?
Since there are many here that use it I'd figure sure I'll try it. I used it many years ago for some basics stuff but you've all shown me it can outdo my current note tab++ but holy hell if it isn't shit to configure and set it all up!
I'm not interested in using another editor besides vim after seeing the features now and not interested in a emulator or simulator for vim in another editor (like sublime).
Why don't you just....X? Because. Reasons. I like my GUIs and hate editing text config files then restarting to see what changed. Show me right away dammit...is this a pipedream or does such an app exist?
I'm not looking for a gui for vim...gvim does that just fine, but rather a gui edit preferences options dialog window for vim config file vimrc. Sigh...
Am I dreaming that such an app exists??9 -
So I’ve been programming in c++ and I’m ready to step up to making gui applications and I’ve heard QT is practically the best and only option I have but I don’t have that money and the trial only lasts 10-30 days.. so what can I do?..

hey guys..me and my friends are starting a project for a desktop application....can you suggest best GUI languages based on your experiences...we are thinking C# or delphi

So I know this sounds crazy, but I'm writing a GUI in Python to automatically generate HTML for me. I may add support for CSS, but I'm not sure yet. Anyways, I was trying to replace an object's dictionary with a dictionary I was building in the GUI class. I was trying to replace the dictionary or reference it some way, when I have a place in the element's constructor to handle this exact situation.... I just had to put the temporary dictionary into the constructor.2

Is it just me who thinks python Kivy is an annoying piece of shit to use? I mean, I'm fairly novice so this may br easy but the pong tutorial they have didn't explain the steps they took and point 0,0 is the bottom left rather than the top left. I get that it uses the Kv files and stuff but it's a pain in the ass to learn. I used pygame instead :/ kinds regretting not committing.. your opinions on it?2

I got a very low power Netbook lately for basically no money.
I thought about using it for some server monitoring / server access via ssh console.
Which Linux distros would you recommend for such a use case. Tried Something like core-os and Debian(lxde) yet but wasn't very satisfied with both options. Both could not display the battery capacity and Debian didn't detect the Intel WiFi.
The Netbook has 512mb of ram which should be fine for a lightweight gui and more than enough for a ssh connection 😅
Thanks a lot for the recommendations :)12 -

Where do you come up with ideas to projects? I mean you probably just have side project but since I am a student and it's probably impossible to get a job in this area with my age, I need to do something to practise, but also learn new things.

So, we're preforming a re-write an application. It's on an application (actual mortgage application, not 'app') that has 4 different entry points. We have the most common entry point converted to our re-written application with plans to have the next couple done over the next several weeks. Yesterday, the old version broke. It was under the impression that it could grab any row that matched the borrower and then check against a hash of that data to see if it could proceed. It can't. You can't hash data set 1 and expect it to be the same as the hash for data set 2. Not a thing. When asked, the only answer we could give right away was "We'll fix it, give us a couple of minutes" and "Sorry, bad {{appName}} is bad. We don't know root cause yet. We'll let you know when we do." Was pulled aside by my manager and told my answer was unsatisfactory and I shouldn't give answers like that. I get it, "Bad {{appName}} is bad" isn't great, but it's not like we were going to give that and leave it! We needed some time!2

Le Angular programmer
Me: I need to add all these fields across this 30 page (seriously) questionnaire to the dataLayer for Google Analytics...I'll see if I can loop over all the controls and get the native element so that I can do things with it.
Also me: WTF do you mean I don't have access to the native element? Damn it! What does Google say?
**terrible french accent**
A few moments later
**end terrible french accent**
Me: I don't want to have to create a directive to put on every single one of these fields. That's dumb. Not gonna do it...bad vanilla JavaScript?
**terrible french accent**
Several minutes later
**end terrible french accent**
Me: Wait...if we use this directive then the directive can handle all the things AND we can use it outside of this questionnaire. The rest of the app can send this data so that Google Analytics can know all the things
Man Google..You sure do know what I want before I know what I want...Are you spying on me too?1 -
Had a shitty day and no idea who else tell so I'll just leave it here. Had like the first part of leaving exams in school (before university). Today was the last day and we were writing an exam from math. Kinda got panic attack in the middle of it, because it came to my mind "what if I can't make it?" so I lost a lot of time and fucked up so much :). I guess I passed without a problem but I'm really disappointed at me, because I didn't think I would panic so much and fuck up so much. At least now I know how panic attack feels :)))))))))))).1

why are Linux graphical git clients so crap? (as compared to TortoiseHg)
like GitKraken is the only OK one, but it lacks soo many features its nearly useless (bisect anyone?) + you need a commercial license
GitEye is the second non-shit one, but it regurarly stops working + its non-free
and it seems most git GUI clients force the name of the repo to be their parent dir. my parent dir for all web projects is www, so in both apps I have a long list of projects named www, unless I expand the projects sidebar to cover half of the screen to see the very very end of the path that petrays the actual project name in GitEye. In GitKraken I have to investigate the commit history to figure out if I have the right GitKraken with the right project open... talk about UX :D
so do most "git experts" just use git commit, git push and git pull on the command line and thats their whole world and the reason why they prefer git to mercurial (for all the many features they never use)?11 -

Not a rant.
So I'm very indecisive person (dunno if I spelled it correctly). That's why I've just spent whole day googling quora etc. on which language to learn java vs c++. And most of them are like "yo it depents on you" or "choose by thinking about what you want to make". I don't know I just want to try something new. And they also tell you that there are more job positions with java but I dont really care about that. But I wonder why some people dont like java? It's just I've seen a lot of offensive memes about java and read shit about it. Is it just purely bad designed or what? Also I know I've just told you that I spent my day googling answers but. What do you think? I guess, I hope direct answer to me will affect me somehow to finally make the decision. I don't know.
Btw java website looks so old, why can't they make it like its from this decade at least.5 -

So today at English lessons (i'm not native speaker) we started this "unit" which is about technology. We were having a discussion everything went pretty ok but then the teacher just started having stupid points. It all began with "oh but computer can't be smarter than the people... Because people programm the computer and they have to code all those things " This was the part where i started being triggered and since i'm very introverted i couldn't argue with her. Luckily my classmate told her about machine learning and AI but she didn't quite understand it. So the topic changed a bit and we talked about technology in medicine etc. but then we somehow started talking about chat bots. Somebody said that they are really stupid because they don't even make sense (i bet they were talking about the stupidest chat bot i have ever seen created by someone from my country who just repeats the same 5-6 sentences). She again started to talk "Well you know they can't make sense because the programmers have to write answer for each sentence they can think of (so basically endless if/else if statement) at this point i had to say something BUT she didn't see my hand and just changed the topic. Now I feel bad for her because she will never know the truth. Forever uneducated in this area. :/1

Are there out solutions to create cross-platform GUIs withing a GUI (like Blend in Visual Studio) which does interface with C++?(leave out Qt)
Searching the web I only found GUI libraries in C++, which are big turnoff for designers.
Further research leaded me to a viable solution that seems haven't been built yet anywhere, I'm taking about OpenGL\Vulkan as the engine for a cross-platform GUI builder within a GUI.4 -

So I have just started learning php and I know javascript and of course I am scared that I will forget the language but that's not my question. I want real cases of you guys already skilled people xD who know more languages how are you handleling with it ? For example at work do you need more languages or only in special situations (I know it depends what kind of developer you are). Do you revise language that you don't use in work on purpose so you won't forget it or is it like riding a bicycle ? After some time it can be hard but you get back to it eventually?4
