I don't get it, why would you put infinite scroll on a site that has useful links in the footer?

My CTO everyone:

"You don't have to assert proper permissions in the backend for this user role, they won't guess the URL anyway. just hide the links"

Yikes.. fml.

Really Microsoft??? Ever heard of clickable links?

How do I un-idiot my users when it comes to clicking on dodgy email-links??

Got a forwarded email just there from a user who said;

Good afternoon,
Is the below ok to open?
I just tried but got a popup saying I've been blocked from opening it.
I'm not sure who it is coming from and I am not waiting on anything but as it says its from dropbox and is important, i know it's okay.
Can you unblock the link ASAP please?
This is really impeding my work-day as I need to know what it is and act accordingly.
Regards... user.

The Original email came from a random jumble of letters with a subject line of 'important dropbox program' - not only does it look dodgy but its english is horrible! It said;

"Hi tu my freind,

You tu still read a pending verrry important document sent by one of your own contact to be vieweddd.

Install "Highly Confidential english.pdf" by clickinggg here

*insert link leading to something called 'viral-update-trojan.exe'*"

I mean, seriously... help!!! 😢
We have sent emails explaining how to hover over links and to not to click them if it looks wrong.
No one does it.
We hired a company to send fake phishing emails to train users in what to do.
It made no difference!
We now make people 'verify' their email addresses when opening any sort of link to try get them to actually look at what they're opening.
We also strip emails of original attachments and create 'safe' html copies as we can't trust them to look at what they're opening.
Everyone complains about it but Jesus Christ, this is why!!!

Its so exhausting!! What is wrong with people!!! Argh!!! 😤

Received a website from a developer in my freelancing job today.

Everything rolls. Literally everything. Text, images, links every GOD DAMN THING HAS A ROLLING ANIMATION. WHAT THE FUCK

My mom: "there's a virus in my phone! It says so when I open Chrome!"
Me: "...stop clicking on strange links that your friends send you, mom. Nobody will ever give you free Nespresso capsules for life as a gift."

Every damn time.

I think I will start to respond to my clients with "Let me Google That For You" links.

Coworker: "Hey can you look at this site and tell me why its loading so slow?"

*inspects console and sees 10 links for stylesheets and 33 script tags and over 200 total http requests.

wot n tarnation -___-

why in 2019, are browsers so fucking inconsistant.
im not even doing anything stupidly complicated.

simple UL List conataining links and background colors on the LI's....

and yet, every single browser is different, or in IE's case completly lost the plot.

Asking a question on Stackoverflow, explained as best as I can, provided links code everything.

5 minutes later I see a notification. Wooooo someone will help me fix my problem.

Some Indian dude suggested an edit.

You know what his edit was?
...
CAPITALIZING THE FUCKING LINKS

Boss comes to me with an idea, we use a spreadsheet to store certain sets of links for clients, sometimes with dozens of links, he wants us to be able to push a button and open all the links in the sheet. I'll admit I'm not exactly proficient in excel but said I'd look into it.

I came up with a macro which seemed to work for a while but there were a few links now and then that didn't want to open due to the way excel apparently checks the links prior to actually opening them. I told my boss that I'd look into a better solution but was slammed in office with scheduled projects.

I ended up taking time at home over the next week learning how to make this happen in Python. After a week I've got a CLI Python app which takes in an excel workbook and asks the user to select a sheet. Well employees don't like CLI so they asked for a GUI. I had never made anything with a GUI before since I'm not a software developer, anything I had previously written was written for me so it didn't need a GUI to be useful.

Spent another two weeks at home developing this thing and finally got a working solution. Now several employees are using my app as part of their daily job, saving them well over an hour of just clicking links in a spreadsheet.

Boss goes on a long rant about how he appreciates me and is thankful I was able to figure this out in my own time and save him money. So I say "If you really wanna show you appreciate me, you could approve that raise I've been asking for."

He replies, "Haha, yeah, but that's not gonna happen."

(I and THE back end developer, and I make less than the copywriting interns, time to start looking)

My Skype was hacked and spam links was sent to everyone.
I guess i deserved it since i haven't updated the password since i've signed up to skype 11 years ago.
Still very annoying.

Typical js frontend:

Simple page with 4 links. 5 megabytes.

Non selectable, non clickable links in error messages. *sigh*

When I started learning python and wrote a script to read redtube's api and get the best video links based and whatever criteria I seem fit for the occasion :D

I told my friend that he could preview links on his phone by hovering his finger over it.

He's still trying to get it to work.

Working with a team of 5 for a college project.
Told them how to use GitHub.
Guess what.
Fuck you and fuck GitHub, they are sending me Dropbox links to download project (npm modules included).

I’m out, fuck this class and fuck college i just can’t

As I joke, I put in the requirement for links to be active on a printout. My developers showed up with QR codes. Touché.

Got a report from a customer saying that our scraper does not correctly scrap content of one of their news articles. After two seconds of investigation it turned out that the "article" is just one huge JPG file with text, photos and even something looking like links.

!rant

props to @dfox and @trogus for uploading their devRant podcast to 5 different plattforms, as well as providing 3 mp3 download links in different bitrates! you can tell this was created by devs, for devs :)

I once had to literally hack a Joomla 1.5.x site for a client, because they did not find the passwords (hosting, cms, ftp, mysql). After 5 minutes and a SQL injection I was in like flynn.
The site was already full of hidden links to viagra sellers and stuff... 😂

Had a "Fatal error stack overflow"

All google searches lead to irrelevant links in stackoverflow.com

Now I can add this error to my "special errors I had" list. #onceinalifetime

Girlfriend: So YouTubers/bloggers do this thing where they partner with brands and promote their items and give a promo code or promo links which you apply while you purchase the item which gives you a discount and they earn money through every purchase

Me: Yeah, I know. I'm a developer, I make those affiliate links

Day 256.

I've tried everything. Going on airplane mode, uninstalling everything but the essentials, blocking all other links on my internet except what I need. I got distracted by the undo feature from my IDE instead. FML.

When you redirect every movie link to XXX links on your rip-off netflix school project and nobody suspects a thing

Who the fuck still puts stuff on sourceforge?? Every time I have to download something from there I feel like I'm downloading malware. So many ads and purposefully misleading links, serious developers should avoid it like the plague!

Rant, but also want to know, how the fuck do you accidentally drop a database link. In production. On the most important database. Housing our biggest applications.

PM ordered me to not use encryption for customer authentication links because we want to be able so send same link if the user loose it. "we have to prioritize usability over security". At least I can tell future hackers it's not my fault..

Instead of using OneNote, Evernote, etc I'm thinking of using a git repo where I would write notes, save bookmarks, links, information, everything with markdown.

I'm yet to meet someone who opens links in new tabs using the mouse wheel button or Ctrl+ click.
Literally everybody I know right clicks and them clicks "open in new tab".

Is this really something nobody does? Am I crazy? what's going on?

What do you think?

My fellow coworker dev just sent a staging site link to our CFO to review some new functionality...

CFO clicks on our corporate HQ link in coworker's email signature instead and berates coworker for sending him the wrong link...

This person is somewhat largely in charge of making decisions that affect our digital marketing, website budgets, and strategy.

I can't make this shit up.

Genius!

fuck you whatapp for not formatting the links properly and not displaying the entire links

I lost my referral bonus due to this 😥

*It did displayed it properly on the WhatsApp web version but it fucked up on the phone version*

see for yourself people,

HR Firms are the worst!!
Just wasted 30 mins of my life.
Interviewer: Tell me about experience.
[ me after talking about various project I have worked on/ build using (js, ruby, React js, git...bla bla bla).
[ 10mins later answering pretty dumb question ]
Interviewer: Do you know about coding?
Me: jeez really, c'mon... is that a question - I just told you about my X years of experience and you asking me if I know how to code?
[Interviewer look at another dumb questions from her list]
Me: You know there are so many different broken links on your websites right? on the landing page there are many links that direct you to the HTML templates.
Interview: thanks...

Lead-Dev: I got a little job for you; put this list of links in the footer of our website.
Me: But... this list of links is a bunch of websites of another company...
why would that go in OUR footer?
LD: Well, Google gives a higher SEO score when two websites have links to one another.
Me: Oh, okay.
LD: Just make the list as subtle as possible. Visitors aren't really supposed to click on them.
Me under my breath: (How are these people allowed to call themselves professionals?)

Writing a Firefox add-on which analyzes the current webpage's links and puts a warning if one of those links to one of the prism (surveillance network) integrated services/companies.

Nearly ready enough for testing (real working version) when I suddenly realize: web pages can request resources without links.

Gotta rewrite the fucker partly now.

How fucking stupid can I be. 😐

Well, the system is offline, links are broken and users are complaining! Developer, what did you do?

After some digging around the designer made a "simple change" to a csv file, add a column to include the image file name of each item...

I mean, it just shifted ALL THE COLUMNS in a csv file but what could go wrong? 🤦‍♂️

Recruiter: Hi, we like your CV. Do you have a portfolio?

I received a job offer as web-app developer and, in order to access the interview, I had to do an online QI test.

I login in the website and I see an ugly cluster of links, missing informations, errors at receiving the data I just inserted, a lot of bugs, broken links, images not availables, blank pages and so on.

I'm not sure I want to work there anymore

@dfox This is how it looks on web links with style tags..

Finding a forum post that perfectly describes your extremely niche problem only to have the solution posted in a bunch of dead photobucket links has to be one of the worst emotional rollercoasters of all time.

Me vs Facebook support

Me: I'm having trouble with xyz even though I followed your instructions. You have problems with the Arabic language*insert very detailed and professional explanation here with links*

FB Support: please follow the instructions here *insert link*

Me: I already followed those, that's why I'm asking for your help. Please provide detailed instructions.

FB Support: We can't help you, we don't provide detailed instructions, please follow instructions provided in said links.

Why the fuck are you called support then huh? I can read the damn documentation.. Hell I get paid for reading the motherfucking documentation!!

Friend asked if I have ever built authentication using PHP and SQL...

Feel like sending links for them to research how instead of having me build it for them.

In-app browsers in mobile apps are so fucking pointless. People have default browsers for a reason. Why the fuck would I want to open external links in your shitty in-app browser?

- Deep-linking wouldn’t work.
- Users might not be authenticated to view the external links so they’ll need to sign the fuck in again - through your app.

Why the fuck do people do this shit?

My boss says to me this morning.

Boss: Can you add these links as a redirect 301 to this link.

Me: Ok, I'm not the developer for that domain but I guess I can do it. Let's try to update apache htaccess for that domain through my account.

(After a swift ssh connection to the server to check out that domain.)

Me: Er...boss, we don't own that domain. We cannot redirect it's links to our other domains.

Boss: Why? What do you mean?!

Me: well if we don't own that domain, than it is not on our server and we cannot update it's server config files. So we cannot redirect that domain to our other domains.

Boss: Are you sure?

It went on like this for a while. I had a laugh break after.

Notepad allows only 2 steps for UNDO. 😢
Lost 18 links : (

Took client's site live and enthusiastically encouraged them to write original content...

The joy of Mondays.

Manager: we want to autoplay a video on the homepage of the eCommerce site, and links to go to the blog.

Hmm, do you have "getting bounce rate to 100%" as one of the goals this quarter?

No, a 33 Page README is not the better choice.

Not for reading.
Not for writing.

Compared to a /Documentation/ folder
+ good overviews / links

Why is it that all University sites are full of broken links, despite the fact that some claim to offer the best software engineering courses out there.

Client doesn't have any idea what pages/links they want for their website. Same client told me to call the guy who recommended me to him for the project brief...wtf...I mean WTF!!!

My university IT department fucking sucks. Nothing ever works, 90% of the website links 404 or just straight up are broken af

Today I was working on an issue related to adding icons to external links. I'm no CSS ninja, I never claimed to be. Somehow I wrote some really nice CSS that works well cross-browser. Now I'm scared they're gonna think I'm good at CSS.

Users.

For once they used their brains.

For once they thought about repercussions of clicking on inconspicuous links in emails.

And naturally it happened when I sent out a legitimate email to stop their shopping sprees.

But then again, I would rather have paranoid users than clicky-go-lucky.

Just some Linux file system fun...

Just me getting angry about the reaction after the Cambridge-scandal?
The news are spamming it every hour, and suddenly everyone is "well aware about my privacy" and deleting their Facebooks.

I mean, as if we didn't know this all along. O-fucking-course your data is stored and sold for adds, you accepted it when you wanted to "see which celebrity you are alike"!

I walk around and talk about privacy with people kinda a lot, and nobody seems to care. And then this happens, and people are going nuts. Waow, what a surprise!

Haha, have a nice evening DevRanters! ;) (20:55)@swe

Instagram app opening Instagram links in its in-app browser

dev communities can be the most toxic as well as the most welcoming at the same time.

just depends on what your timing is. You can get a bunch of links to help debug your issue or you can get told to "kill yourself".

You never know.

How to log in to CMS Of Doom™...
What could go wrong?
MD5 password hashing? HTTP links? Extracting the whole $_POST array?

NPM has this cool feature called "link" which allows you to easily link local npm packages as dependencies of other local packages for developement. It's so cool in fact that everything you run npm install it deletes all your links for fuck all reason

Imagine being a software engineer:
You invent a new CMS called "WordPress"
and you decide to store all internal links as complete URLs in the fucking database.
PEAK BRAIN USAGE

When your friend is making some money posting links for download movies in his wordpress site and you got nothing knowing html, javascript, css, less, php, asp.net, java, python, ruby, node.js, angular, react.js...

When Musk lands us on mars and we set up WiFi please don't send us links with those pop-up ads

Brave Browser was found hardcoding referral links to partnered Crypto sites, even if you manually type the URL.

Since then , they have fixed the bug but it's hard to trust Brave again.

Privacy is built on trust. I have recommended Brave to my friends and family and seeing news like this , makes me skeptical about the company.

Created a github open source project for voice recognition for react native Android.

Needed help developing some features and did my research with links to some articles.

Then some guy that showed interest in the specific issue just copied my repo and launched his own npm package with the new features.

Just threw my code in the garbage and just felt so irritated. I did all the research and shared the research links and he just duped me and left me to rot. No credit given.

Fuck that guy. This is not open source.

Rant over

Today I answered 3 not trivial SO questions spending about 30 minutes at each of them, caring about formatting, explanation, sources, documentation, links and tests, and also paying attention at catching questions immediately after they were posted and without other answers by faster users.

Companies that make things devs have to work with: please stop trying to implement your own version of markdown. I don't want to memorize 3 different ways of making links

@dfox feature request, as part of the menu links in a rant, if you could add open in web version.

Why?
Sometimes links aren't clickable on my devrant version (using latest Android version am on Lollipop 😧)
Sometimes really large images don't load

So I usually copy link then paste in my browser

The last days I'm going totally insane for parallax designs. Have you tried them by yourself? Have some links?

Why does everyone screenshot a Tweet, instead of using a perfectly good app 'Tweet2Pic' being available on Play Store.

P.S: I am the dev, shamelessly promoting my app. I am not sure if I can share links here 😅

Dear @devRant, when a rant contains a link and I click it, it doesn't open in a new tab so when that happens, I have to click back on the browser which is not fun.

Can you please open the links in a blank tab.

Thank you :-*

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering could any VS Code users submit links to their setups and recommended extensions.

Thanks in advance.

I'm posting mine as well. Though it's pretty barebones

A small part wants to know what is behind this link ...

If I decrypt the message correctly is says in German: "update of your credit rating. All infos: {link}"

Months on this project and it STILL doesn’t work. Way too many links in the communication chain and everything is getting lost in transmission and in translation because of foreign language barriers.

All of this will be my fault when it fails, even when it’s provably actually not. The joys of being the single wringable neck.

REST apis. More than you think it is.

Just because you can access a resource by a uri, doesn't mean you have a good api.

Hypermedia that shit and let websites reuse your links from api responses, then we are getting somewhere.

Also, Fucking api versioning.. Learned the hard way that /v1/ doesn't mean Shit in most cases

@dfox Please do target="_blank" or similar thing for links in rants on the website :)

I like Scala, but the docs suck.
The FAQ literally uses StackOverflow links as answers.
Not as references, where they write the complete answer and provide the link for reference or credits.
They actually just throw in the links.

NativeScript 8 is released

- They move old docs to v7.docs.nativescript.org

- All links in Google broken

- Search bar on v7.docs.nativescript.org is broken

Can these people do anything right? Look at how Google does it, give me one domain that lets me switch versions.

Fuck.

that feel when the mothfacka uses around twenty different fonts, and not be able to even name them, and don't get me started on the arbitrary resizing of links, and the seemingly random positioning of round shaped elements

Just wanted to know: am I a single maniac in the world that likes to select text on websites and press-hold buttons/links often to check how they look in `:active: and `:focus` states, just for naught? 😂

Those fcking newsletter unregister links which requires you to log in!

Gaaaaaaah! Following the path of least resistance, it’s easier to just keep deleting the emails 😂

I hate this so much! I clicked the link because I wanted to see what was on the other side! I know I'm leaving YouTube, and if you want me to stay so that I spend more time on your shitty platform, just make it target="_blank".

We recently hired a new developer, fresh from uni. Very little real experience as I can see.
Unfortunately I weren't available for the interviews, so they chose a dev without me.

All his code is messy, over complicated and uses symfony framework for _everything_
He can't do shit outside of it.

He was tasked to find and replace some links in a few hundred excel documents, he spent ages trying to parse the xlsx documents and the replace the links and write to the document. Spent all day on it, with no results. Even though I often asked him how he was getting on, he said all was fine.

End of day, I get a tad furious, whip out my terminal and do the whole task in 10 minutes with basic bash

No matter how clickbaity it looks, I will always click on links for monospace sans serif.

Planning to make a github list of usefull links on topics related to javascript,react,react native,redux etc . Drop usefull links if you have any. They can be tutorials,articles, talks,repos,packages etc.

How did you learn Japanese?

BTW links to resources also appreciated.

Instead of showing a 404 page we should show some similar links that they might be looking for.

I had a half our discussion the other day with a projectmanager about the menu. He wanted to have both inpage anchor links as well as normal links in the main navigation. I found it completely stupid and didn’t get why you would want this. It’s totally unexpected behaviour from a users perspective and tried for 30 minutes to convince him of his stupidity.

Afterwards i gave in, sure, i’ll make it your stupid way. The actual pages that are there now won’t be visible anymore but if this is what you reallllllly want: sure.

Yesterday he came with a remark: the pages that used to be there can’t be reached anymore.

Always trust your developer

Set chrome as default browser, Teams still opens links in Edge....

Because you, that's why

Little OT but I'm about to submit my phd thesis for print and electronic publishing. Publisher scaled the A4 version to A5 but lost all links that were in the document (LaTeX & hyperref).

Tried to solve the problem by myself using Ghostscript but got lost at CropBox, MediaBox, TrimBox and page size. One day is already lost.

Freaking github markdown! I just want this directly under each other like i fucking wrote it:

[Client implementation](implementation_client.md)
[Server implementation](implementation_server.md)

But it's places it together on one line. Fine, i put a new line between it.

[Client implementation](implementation_client.md)

[Server implementation](implementation_server.md)

It fucking shows a blank line in between!
AAAARGH

I'm sure the github CTO was seen on Epstein's island

Love it when Email Unsubscribe links go to an error page.. New tactics xd

You had one job for the links, Github. You had one job.

QA/stakeholder person: can you add the following links to the footer?
devs: sure. easy.
devs: oh wait, 3 of those links are 404. Are you planning to create those pages? or were those urls just a suggestion?
<crickets>
devs: ok well for now we'll leave those out.
stakeholder (a day later): hey these 3 links are still not in the footer!
devs: yeah we asked about that yesterday.
boss: the links are there now
devs (quietly): fuck you.

Can we have a more detailed list of profile to link to on our profiles?
Currently we have Website and GitHub.
I would love to add my GitLab and Twitter too and also order the links (GitLab above GitHub for example).

To understand recursion, just click these links:

Is it just me or dont links in Devrant work¿ and since it gets cutoff I cant look for that link myself.

Is it just me or the so-called Cloud (or more accurately not our servers) allowed terribly inefficient technologies to exist as backends? Just google "clear grpc benchmark reddit" - I think there should be another column "price per hour in AWS for given resource usage". (sorry, can't post links yet)

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.

Pretty sure it's week 197 now. 196 links to last week.

Wow! Giving Thanks this morning for the new devRant upgrade. Tag suggestions, links open in app, mute notifs... Thanks devRant team

Wrote a REALLY bad, simple java method to generate the repetitive parts of c# classes

Now I’m curious about good code generation methods. How I probably should’ve done this

Think I could get some advice and links on how to start learning to write simple code generators?

Is there something you find genuinely cool and would recommend ? Some webpage, program, OS, library or anything ?

I mean hey. There are SO MANY reaaaally cool things I didn't know until last few months.. Things I'd be so grateful for if I knew them earlier. I'll list some of them and I just know you have few of yours too. Feel free to educate the rest!

Processing - Program so fun to code in + CodingTrain(YTB channel)
Microcorruption.com - so freaking awesome if you wanna learn hacking / assembly (not x86 necessarily)
LiveOverflow - cool hacking channel
Radare - cool cmd Linux disassembler
vim-adventures.com - LEARN VIM (not just how to quit it) LITERALLY by playing a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
slashdot - stay updated , like really
"BEST-WEBSITES-A-PROGRAMMER-SHOULD-VISIT" - GUYS THIS! Sorry for caps but search this on GitHub and you will fucking die of happiness of how freaking useful links there are and no bullshit to dig through , just pure awesomeness. REALLY
HandBrake - Top media converter without bullshit and bloat stuff in it
Calibre - Best eBook management software capable of literally everything ebooks related. Kindle is a bloated joke compared to this
QubesOS - You know you can have every OS running at once - you have a Linux but are playing win games. Yup. It's there. Free
Computerphile - You all know it, it's just for completeness
Khan Academy - Same
VulnHub - download vulnerable VMs and hack them, or learn by reading writeup on how to do it!
Valgrind - MUST HAVE for C/C++ programmers
Computer Science crash course videos

That's all I can think of from top of my head but hey, there's more to it so definitely add your 2 cents!

Last thing, if nothing, just check the websites on GitHub, that's lifechanger

Looking forward to see some cool links & recommendations!

When they change the ethics,health&safety,anti corruption etc. online courses so that the next links are disabled until the audio is completed.

I want to learn assembly, any tips, links or information that would be useful? Thanks in advance

Y do all my links have to be in inside <nav>?

I'm afraid to ask where in the world you heard that

some sort of
"RUBBER DUCK DEBUGGING"
TOY.

Links please?

I started an e2e encrypted Dropbox clone, meaning file names and contents get encrypted client side prior to uploading. It also has a fairly advanced system for sharing links to files etc. But I got stuck at PDF previews which can't be generated on the server cause the file can't be decrypted there and I never finished it.

While learning a new platform online, adding several links to the bookmarks, oh that's nice I'll add that too, hey that could be helpful later 'click'.
Done learning after 2 months, pressing on the relevant bookmarks folder..... "Open all (289)?" damnit need another few weeks to clear it up and filter, ending with even more bookmarks....

Company: We have a new front-end project for you to work on.

Me: Oh fantastic, send me over the designs over on Zeplin and I'll start working on it and we'll sort out the links and wording later.

Company: We want it done using Webflow.

Me: -_- hmm fine.

Just made some dollars via affiliate links in my old blog. Feeling awesome! 😂

I want to begin in reverse-engineering.
Creating or beginning to create an emulator stimulates me. Can someone give me some tutorials, keywords, links to where I should search if anyone knows this kind of stuff ?

"Bug: IE 10/11 open silverlight when trying to view a MS Office PowerPoint link online"
"Bug: IE doesnt play this 1 video"

The problem is IE right? Not the website or the links? Am I crazy?

Damn...! Can't find perfect wallpaper....spent like 20min.
Can someone give me cool and awesome wallpaper or some links? . (I prefer black or blue patterns, design, anything).

Can anyone give me links to any Devrant API? Thinking of starting work on creating a Native Android Devrant app as a side-project.

You know your day isn't going to end well when Google searches for the topic your implementing only return research gate links

!rant thinking of learning machine learning. Have no much maths background. Where do I start?

Links, blog's, books, examples, tutorials, anything. Need help.

one of the most annoying things about our system at work is that we're constantly updating broken links because we're in the process of updating a lot of legacy code. there's this one service to retrieve links for a module, but half the links in the legacy code are hard-coded strings anyway, so the whole thing is just a huge maintainability disaster. anyone ever come up with any interesting solutions for managing links between modules?

When your team can't change from the oracle database because the dba team will be out jobs and database links will be lost (people havent heard of apis)... :feelsoracleman:

Very old vsauce is my grandpa. He comes to me to solve a crime of a man that made 1850000 html links by hand

When your colleagues keep asking you questions about how to code this and that through messenger, and you keep replying them with lmgtfy links. "Was that so hard?"

What I want to read is how to train an ai model to recognize images.

What I don't want to read is your 6000 word ad filled dissertation on everything related to the concept of ai that links to the tensorflow documentation 3/4 of the way through.

The first 15 links on Google are like this. You have you look real hard for a link to the actual documentation.

SEO has absolutely ruined the usefulness of the internet.

The Facebook groups related to programming are full of spamming shitty links. You won't learn from there at all.

What is mobile app have you deployed on store ? Put links to know 😊

TYPO3: You can use this hook to modify all links generated on the website. Well, all links except those few over there, which for some reason use a completely different class that does basically the same thing, and will even call your hook, but then ignore the result completely.

Me: Fuck you! I've spent almost a day trying to find the right hook, because they are all undocumented, have stupid names and every time I get close to a solution, some other part of your code decides to circumvent the hook.

Also me: After spending hours sifting through the depths of the TYPO3 core, I seriously wonder why it works at all. Spaghetti code, classes fetching properties directly instead of using the getters, loads of global variables... Wtf is wrong with that thing?

And people say WordPress is shitty code.

Sometimes I ask myself how former IT people can become "Bosses"

Boss: We need to validate all links on our site

Me:Okay, let's vrab the response codes and some variations of under construction and we should be done.

Boss: No that only tests negatives, we need to test if the website content still matches.

Me: How?

Boss: Hmm... Just test if some keywords exist.

Me: So you want me to add a bunch of keywords for +-150 links? What about the maintenance?

Boss: Well, those sites basically never change.

Me: Then why do that?

Boss: Well, for when they change.

Now I can search through 150 mostly legal stuffy pages to find usefull keywords only to get a bunch of wrong negatives because the fucking semantics have changed...
+I have to type all that shit. Primarily, I have to type.

And I found another fucked up page😂😂

Currently fuming at the sight of a store bought WordPress template that has social links that go nowhere, gibberish under CTA's and broken links galore.

I have contacted the poor bastard that has this website made and the soon to be poor bastard that made it.

Take some pride in your work, it's honestly insulting to be in the same industry as people like this!

Feature suggestion: detect links to other rants and open them in app?

How bad of an idea is to delve into php in 2019? But since I have to, I would like few links on how web applications are made in php or it's frameworks such as laravel.

Do you guys know of any websites that have links to a bunch of web-based games? Like obviously the big ones are there, but I am wondering if there's any platforms out there that help promote developer's project games?

So, what are your most favorite methods of saving interesting articles about algorithms, functions or simply news so you can read them later when you have time? I find myself storing links to interesting web pages without really going back to them or remembering which link was what. I shifted to storing the links in evernote but it's still not what I'd ideally like to have...

If there are any recommended routines, apps or tools that make stored links insightful (like allowing me to add a quick description or automatically adding a sort of preview of the link), I would appreciate it!

Please note that this is primarily about saving a resource while I'm on the go or simply can't/don't want to spend too much time on the actions.

We should all just show a popup in every app with links to chrome / firefox on IE (Saw some clients still using IE7)

Summarized Pros & Cons of hard vs soft links.

It all depends on your systems gender and sexual preferences.

QA Tester: titles in table items look like links and are clickable, they should be plain text.

Senior Dev: style={{ color: '#000' }}

Please share any links on AI creating code based on text input. Let's see how many years we have left as developers.

Do any of you wonderful devRanters know of good links that cover the topic of best practises when deploying a React/Redux (or any modern web app) to production?

I’m pretty sure I have found all the boxes to check through personal experience but maybe there are tips out there I am unaware of.

🍻

Any NODE-JS.pdf available to learn a bit deeper.
Links would be great.
Names, if you've downloaded before.
Thanks in advance.

Any links to start learning game server programming using C++? I know network programming using C# currently and built a game server emulator also. I want to start C++ network programming for windows now...

npm you dank pile of shit!

After updating npm I get "Maximum call stack size exceeded" when I use npm install --no-bin-links as usual.

After searching a solution for this shit it seams like the npm devs fucked around with the --no-bin-links option, since this nasty error message vanishes if one downgrade npm.

These goddamn assholes.
Keep your filthy fingers off this option, since it is essentially for windows devs!

Just learned that you can join a network through a QR code. That's sick!

I thought you could only go to links / store plain text with QRs...

Coworker : Hey can you check out why all the links in the project don't work ?

Me : hmmm *checks one of the links, which works* yeah yeah, all of the links

What is the best way to learn QA automation? Any ideas? If you have links to tutorial and also the download content for me to practice that would be great!!! Thanks

Hey! I have to build a website using ReactJS and OAuth. Does anyone have tips/links/advice or things NOT to do?
I can't fuck this one up guys...

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.

Bug:
Rant links don't work on phones without the app installed (when opened in browser).

I am a mobile dev. Wants to step into backend world by learning python.. django perhaps. I am not sure myself. If someone can point towards good tutorials or links, which takes low learning curve in picking up things.. Thanks.

P.s. I found django rest framework official tut site. Also agiliq.com

I'm building an Android App and need to implement multi option selection using images. Tried google searching "android libraries for multi-option selection using images as option items just like Medium.com" but i keep getting links for image picker libraries instead.

Have you ever come across any? cus i'm not ready to implement that from scratch. Thankee

Am I the only one having problems to open links in rants in the android app? (links in profiles are working) @dfox @trogus

Its much harder to fix broken links than create a function at php, very time consuming

cheap ass android phones for testing?
amazon links preferably

Last friday my old android phone stolen in public transportation. Things I miss so bad was my bookmarked links in a hn app

“FaceTime links” is a killer move, isn’t it?
