Just wondering .....

So someone is constantly ddos'ing the privacy/security blog.

Just wondering if they really think that 500 hits a second will bring the site down?!

500 h/s consumes about 0.1 percent CPU and 1mb/s.

At least give me a challenge 😥

It's good that they clarify that baby food is not a number. Just in case you were wondering.

Me: (I stand up & address my fellow code-drones) Can everybody save everything right now please. Good? Now newGuy commit your changes.

Me: He just deleted everything...again and I am running out of backup storage.
Boss: ........So you want 1 of those things or 2?

Hey, i'm new here and just wondering of this is a real rant? 🤔

Family reunion weekend. I'm just wondering for how long this will stay a 'family reunion weekend' before it turns into a 'first person tech support weekend'

recently ran into Linux dev. my brother's an IT administrator and I was always wondering why he has 5231 tabs opened all the time as I was always pretty organised when it comes to gathering information (I'm a C++ dev), but now I get it. fixing one mistake in this OS and environment just causes another fixing which in turn causes the next one and eventually you'll just freaking lose it. it. just. won't. stop. goddammit.

Hey @dfox and @trogus, was wondering, are there any plans for items higher than 20K upvotes? I'm at more than 120K now and I'd like a new item and also maybe something to work towards :)

Also, I'm just asking/wondering, I know what a busy life is. This is nothing more than a question, not demanding anything! (I'm deffo not in the position to demand anything)

Thanks!

Just in case you were wondering...

Not entirely dev related.

I guess it shall remain a mistery 😞

Client:  (via email) Wondering if this link is available and active.

I click the link. It takes me to the page, which is working and functional.

Me: Yes, this link is both available and active.

Client: Great, thanks for checking that.

Me internally: Did you seriously just SEND ME AN EMAIL to ask me to click a link for you?

Does anyone use bitbucket?

Was just wondering since I haven't seen anyone say a thing about it lol

Sooo win has updated itself (in a short 6 hours) and I was wondering what eats my pocket pc's 4 gb ram, so i checked, and turns out system is eating 40-50% of it and its processor ever since the update... *Sigh* Awesome....

(Picture src: tumblr/just-shower-thoughts --> [in reality] r/showerthoughts)

Just saw a repository with branch name - 👶

bitbucket gives this - git fetch && git checkout 👶 for checking it out,
wondering how would anyone checkout this branch without copy pasting the above line from the web xD

In season 1 episode 4 of Mr.Robot, Elliott plans on using a Raspberry Pi to heat up the storage facility in order to destroy the cassette tapes stored there.

Sometimes I just hit a "developer's block", when I'm just blankly staring at my screen wondering where did I start and how did I end up here!?
It is hell frustrating!!!

When meeting other devs, I'm always wondering if they are on devRant too...

Just went to a company to sign a contract for my internship in the summer holidays and there were 3 other people at about my age. 🤔

I thought about opening devRant in the elevator to see their reactions but it was very full and I couldn't do it...

Anyways if anyone reading this, just signed a contract, the ugly guy was me!

Soooo I am guessing that if this year or the next is the downfall of fb then react is pretty much destined to die then eh?

I guess I'm taking the piss.
I just spend half an hour wondering why a unit test failed; turns out all calculations were done correctly, just that -5 + 3 was being calculated and the test expected the solution to be -1.
Well, -5 + 3 does not equal -1 and I'm too stupid to add.

Half an hour. (-_- )

So I'm just wondering if this happened to everyone else because a few friends of mine at work have corroborated my experience.

So, when I was very young and just starting to learn PHP, I was trying to grasp OOP. I read and read about it and did the example tutorials and nothing really did it for me. Then one day, writing some scripts for a game I played, it just hit me. Literally like "oh.....I get it. That's why this is a thing."

The Nintendo Switch store still sucks, the games are all still priced above 40 dllrs and pretty meh still

Just in case anyone was wondering.

how to learn web development in 2018:

- watch youtube video of that new shiny promising framework

- spend hours trying to set up development environment

- spend another hours waiting for the dependencies to install

- spend the next few hours wondering and googling why it wont work even at fresh install

- spend another few hours redoing everything just to make sure you haven't missed a step

- realize that the youtube video you watched is uploaded last week, and now the framework developers mysteriously decided to change literally everything

- spend hours looking for another youtube video until you realize that now you are watching completely unrelated youtube video

- spend next hours wondering how your life become this pathetic while overthinking all of your past mistakes, and now you are just this lonely pathetic person with no clear future and that you will spend the rest of your life working at a fastfood chain below the minimum wage with no social life living on your parent's basement.

Watching the Social Dilemma. Interesting quote.

Anyone else seen it? or addicted to social media?

I'm wondering maybe because we're all tech... we sort of develop a natural immunity? or is it just me that has all social media apps' notifs turned off?

And rarely use social media... except devRant.

I was wondering if anybody gets to sniff my wifi and finally finds my pass, so he is able to listen to my encrypted traffic and fully decrypt it (websites without https)!
That is far worse than just using my bandwidth!!

Angular....meh....

Does anyone here do development on a Chromebook??

Just wondering.

That wasn't the point of this post..

So.. I am working on making a package manager for chrome os. Yes I know that chromebrew exists, this will integrate chromebrew and also add support for installer scripts from other chrome os based projects (like crouton). I am also going to add my own script for creating custom banners and a custom "lockscreen" for the terminal.

Any suggestions for other features?

Fucking hell i was wondering why my laptop is sometimes slow.

Acer was thinking that putting Single channel 2400Mhz CL22 RAM is a good idea.
FUCK YOU
This ram is a litteral piece of shit !!!!!!
Going to get CL14 RAM in dual channel and 16Gb
Oh yeah.
From what i read this is a huge fucking jump in FPS.
Like 30 fps jump
Im not even wondering about it since CL22 is just complete garbage.

I just watched this documentary called "take your pills" and seeing the weird programmer they interviewed I got curious about how many DevRanters use Addy as a coding booster? Would you consider it just a normal performance enhancer like caffeine? Have you tried it?

I've only noticed coffee heads like myself here and I was wondering if some of the people that aren't are against the use of Adderall too.

I'd love to hear some thoughts on the subject.

I just got an email that a client changed their DNS zone files to point at a new server. Turns out that they haven't set the server up yet. Client is wondering why that domain's emails aren't working, and why their site is down. They didn't want to give me the Domain's portal login credentials until now, because they "could do it without [me]." Tomorrow morning should be fun.

Does this happen to everybody???

Q: What is your favorite programming language, and why?

Today, I looked at my company’s job description of my own profile.

Shit is full of buzzwords.

Wonder if that’s the case everywhere. Gives me some confidence to just apply to jobs without worrying about ticking all the points in the descriptions.

(For those wondering whether I did not see the description while applying for my current job.. actually, I saw it but didn’t take it too seriously because I just wanted to get a dev job.)

Anyone here use Go? Just wondering...

All my tasks was development, last week our boss gave me a testing task, and I completed it.

I just discovered bedrocklinux.org and am wondering where this mind-bending tool/toy has been all my life. This thing is amazing!

Wondering how many people use git cmd and how many use different git clients.

I regularly use git cmd. I made a transition from clients a while back because I wanted to learn more about how it actually works and it works just fine for me, except when I have to google something I don't remember (like how to revert local commit)

Git clients will for sure do abstraction which can be both good and bad, but I'm wondering if there are any definitive pros for clients.

The beginning of my small app. Just a small question to the devRant community. As I am relatively new in Android app development I was wondering which layout is okay to work with?

Just began to learn Node.js. Wondering why the modules aren't named starting with an uppercase letter.

One day (maybe) I will understand how the "bestest IDE in the world" (cit.) can consume over 10Gb of memory just... for being open while not editing any file or anything.

Just in case you're wondering I'm talking about VsCode and yes I know it's not an IDE just in case you want to point out :-) It's just I see more and more people referring to it as it was one.

!Rant

Was just wondering using which tech devRant website was built?
Sorry its a reRant I recall seeing it before but can't find it again
I know the app is using React right?

!rant

Was wondering, what's so good about dark themes? I just use the default and tried but don't use things like Flux.

I don't feel I have any problems but.... wondering if I should switch?

What language should one learn in 2017 with a main purpose to create mobile apps?

Just wasted 3 hours because i was manipulating the context dictionary in django of a different view that i was actually checking.

When you see there is no answer to whatever you search, move back and go for a walk.
This shit drove me nuts.

Now i need my brain to calm down.

Still wondering why my mom thinks i'm a clever guy.

Just as a point of interest, who here enjoys Linguistics? (other than your programming languages, just wondering if one is relatable to the other)

Maybe noob question here, but what's the added value of using graph db like neo4js compared to regular RDBMS like PostgreSQL ? I see our beloved devrant uses neo4js so I am wondering if it's worth spending some time digging into this, just that (ok, actually it would be too cool to also have dfox and trogus appear in comments notifications)

Hey everyone, just wondering how to learn about Grammar.

No I don't mean English grammar.

In particular, I'm looking at PlyPlus grammar. Any thoughts for learning material?

What a fucking boring day.

I had a heated argument with a fellow colleague because he wants us to add a feature to a certain product for free. He thinks am so money minded as I was pressuring him to charge the feature but he's defending himself that we are just a start-up.

Am left wondering if I was wrong or if giving free stuff will pay our bills or should start-ups code some stuff for free.....

Is it possible to make a business out of your programming skills?

Looking for help I'm a software development student been studying programming for 3 years so have some experience just wondering is any good online tutorials or books that could help me develop my Python skills we don't cover it in college and I would love to pick up on how to use Python but all courses I find are very basic and expect I'm a beginner

Am just wondering when you are asked in a job interview why did leave or you are willing to leave your job best answer.

Because in 2 days i have an interview and i really want to ace it so bad

I might have asked this before, but why when I turn on my personal VPN (personal vps) Internet suddenly becomes faster?

Is it because filtering no longer works?

My manager is apperently turning down applicants for the position of front end developer (the job I applied for, they made me backend developer). I just sit here wondering what he bases that decision of since the man can hardly use a computer. Job posting has been online for almost 10 months now.

But yeah, I'd rather have no collegae then an incompetent one. I also suspect they just posted the opening to keep me from taking vacation days.

I discovered the perfect use for DevRant!! Phone meetings!!
Just make sure to mute yourself so people don't wondering why you're chuckling during an 8 am team meeting hahah!!

Just wondering, so many people are building extensions for devRant but I didn't find any APIs anywhere. Can someone help me with a link where I can find these? Thanks :)

just wondering: how much of your programming / development is based on your memory and how much do you use Google just for a reminder and how much do you ude Google for the entire code?

I just loaded a css file with a script tag. And spent 20 minutes wondering why the hell I was getting missing semicolon errors. :/

Just wondering, how many of you professionals did not go to college?

I didn’t go to college myself. I have ~10 years of experience but it seems to become more and more of a big deal.
I feel like when I started only maybe 50% of my colleagues had a degree..

I have a nice desk, but my dogs insist that I work sitting on the floor with them. Just in case y’all were wondering who the bitch is in my house. It’s me.

Have you interacted with other devs with same level of experience and wondering about the big skill gap between you and them?
Wondering if you are actually a walking genius for having a lot more knowledge/understanding or if they are just plainly dumb and lazy.

🤷‍♀️

I've seen posts about Manjaro quite a lot recently. Just wondering:

How many of us are using Manjaro as daily usage system. And why not other?

For me it is because it connects ease of use of Ubuntu (or even Win) with possibilities of Arch. And I always liked KDE. Plus it works out of the box, with Nvidia drivers ready and stuff.

Just found out about ElectronJS.

Man! My frontend will be so much more good looking compared to my previous experiences with Desktop Apps with tkinter (in Python) or swing, awt (in Java)

... Wondering if it has any DISadvantages over the latter ones 🤔

From my last rant, I'm now looking for Jobs.

I heard that a few people from here work in startups. Just wondering what your xp with these kind of companies are.

Also looking for some good critical questions that I may be able to ask.

I'm currently all about architecture, frontend and UI/UX

I was just wondering a little about my shitty life and I got curious: How many hours a day do you stare at screens?
I am not gonna give you my answer just yet, because I am ashamed of myself.

!rant - survey time
Anyone using cucumber?
I am wondering if I step into it or just use RSpec

So, one of my finals is to go through a Scheme tutorial with about 30 questions. There's also a project attached to the end of it. All this work, and I'm just wondering: what am I possibly going to used Scheme for? Google didn't really turn up anything.

I am wondering..i learnt Java, later on PHP and during my internship Clojure and during some remote projects JavaScript and now because of my AI/Data Science ambition, hv been dwelling on Python and about R...am I going crazy or just confused...what paradigm should I focus on and stay there proficiently?!🤕🤕

Hey guys, just wondering what you guys feel are the best resources to fully learn JS (looking to get into Node.JS).

Also, first post here! Been reading up, and can't stop!

Just wondering what would happen if gitlab failed to restore the data

Just wondering... Why not many people in the software development industry do even lift?

Either I am too sensitive with my name or I just can't stop laughing when someone keep misspelled my English name, "Michael" into "Micheal".

I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but... *eye-roll*

Anyway, I am still wondering that what wording or how does it take for them to accidentally typed from 'ae' into 'ea'..?

Super curious here.

How many users are on devrant? Just wondering

Has anyone ever used Endless OS before?
I know it's a Linux based OS but other than than I know next to nothing about. I got a new laptop coming in that has it preinstalled.
I'm wondering whether it's worth trying it out for a while or just wiping it.
@linuxxx maybe you have any knowledge worth sharing?
