Friend found this at his office

Guys the ++ and -- buttons aren't perfectly centered.

Upgraded to a 40" 4k Monitor at home and now my dual 24" 1080p monitors at work feel like toys.

The six stages of debugging:
* That can’t happen.
* That doesn’t happen on my machine.
* That shouldn’t happen.
* Why does that happen?
* Oh, I see.
* How did that ever work?

100x better than the original :)

Is it just me, or is using --> for indentation just dumb?

:D It's true :D

This would actually probably be better than nodejs

What my boss thinks I do

Deleted a servers crontab by executing crontab -r instead of crontab -e (typo mistake)
crontab -r deletes the users crontab without any confirmation and, just to top it off, the e key is located right next to r. WTH
At least we have backups.

Dear new devs/me five years ago:
Practice the 30 second rule-- Whatever brilliant thing that your about to say, just think on it for minimum of 30 seconds. Is it still a brilliant idea? Then share. Else trash it 😉

When debugging some bugs come back when trying to fix others...

Searching for random Linux bug.. finds Gist with exact match (thinking, WOW, thanks Google!)..

It's a 2000+ line log dump. : |

Wannacry

Wow so my graphics drivers got fucked up in windows 10 and there's no way to boot into safe mode - because microsoft, being the intelligent beings that they are, decided to remove the option to boot into safe mode on bootup. Instead now you can only enter safe mode through the <b><u>GUI!!!</u></b>. unbelievable....

How are there people liking my comments on super old rants?
Someone has too much time on their hands xD

What are your thoughts on seefoods pivot from hot dog to d*ck recognition?

My stickers have arrived. Thanks devrant.

!rant A guy is standing on the corner of the street! smoking one cigarette after another. A lady walking by notices him and says
"Hey, don't you know that those things can kill you? I mean, didn't you see the giant warning on the box?!"
"That's OK" says the guy, puffing casually "I'm a computer programmer"
"So? What's that got to do with anything?"
"We don't care about warnings. We only care about errors."

Thinking of purchasing the pragmatic programmer. Anyone read it? Is it a good read?

Fucking gnome and their stupid fucking alerts. Seemed like an okish desktop, but cosing in vim triggers a metric butt ton of alerts which interrupts my super chill beats. So, ok lets disable them. Oh look there's a toggle.. easy enough. NO because those motherfucking alerts, while now silent, still cut off my music for a couple hundred ms every time they're triggered. Fuck you gnome.

Are you, hexical labs, accepting donations, or what's the business model?

There is no system but GNU, and Linux is one of its kernels.

Sainthood in the Church of Emacs requires living a life of purity—but in the Church of Emacs, this does not require celibacy (a sigh of relief is heard). Being holy in our church means exorcizing whatever evil, proprietary operating systems have possessed computers that are under your control, or set up for your regular use; installing a holy (i.e., wholly) free operating system (GNU/Linux is a good choice); and using and installing only free software with and on the system. Note that tablets and mobile phones are computers and this vow includes them.

Join the Church of Emacs, and you too can be a saint!

People sometimes ask if St IGNUcius is wearing an old computer disk platter. That is no computer disk, that is my halo — but it was a disk platter in a former life. No information is available about what kind of computer it came from or what data was stored on it. However, you can rest assured that no non-free software is readable from it today.

Anyone who's been part of the community has probably noticed a little OS mud slinging. It's natural, as everyone cheers on their "team".

I just realized that no one is ranting/name calling/general mockery of the BSD crowd! They just get away without a scratch. Not fair 🚫

Ok, let's agree to stop giving applications names that are so ambiguous that they give no clue what the purpose is.

Google Play Store has top 2016 apps... Under "most innovative" is the app, "Eve" by "Glow". Is it a game? General app? I was curious and clicked for the detail...

I never in a million years would have clicked on that! Wow. 😓

Anyone else gotten really good at the screenshot -> crop -> send to friend workflow on devRant?

Why is save image disabled? Am I missing something stupid easy here?!

@dfox Please help make this process more streamlined if this is working as intended!
