When somebody you don't know recommends Windows......

Seen on Linked In.

Just finished this great book! It was really entertaining and interesting 🙂
And it explained the advantages of DevOps and CI/CD in a very understandable way 😁

Do you have any other good recommendations for IT novels?

Against all recommendations...I stared into the Eclipse for 6 hours. I think I am blind now.

Dear phone app devs,

when I start app, I want to *use* it, NOT fill in recommendations on store. Please move this question AFTER useful work in app.

Sincerely,
Angry user

I can not function today in my hot office (no AC). I'm just reading rants in JSON format to look like I'm working. I may need a USB Desk Fan to improve my productivity. Anybody have recommendations?

I hate YouTube recommendations. They just show you the same videos again and again after some time.

Recommend for you:
Controlling Hardware with Javascript

No YouTube, nooo! 😟

Yessss. Took me a few tries throughout the day but I successfully installed arch linux on my laptop :D Any good desktop environment recommendations?

Amazon's Deals Algo: Since you bought a pressure cooker, we've found these recommendations you'll be interested in...more pressure cookers.

Awesome recommendations thanks 🤗🤗

PS. Please don’t judge me 🙄☺️

ALRIGHT sorry SwiftKey I love you but not if you do this to me... I need a new keyboard any recommendations? (android)

(also the accuracy is quite bad as of late...)

Why does FireFox has the shittiest dev tools?
Working on my website and it kept throwing "TypeError: Failed to fetch"
with no other info

Opened Chrome and that thing gave me the entire error without even modifying my logs code, and now I can peacefully solve the problem -.-

Wish I could bring letter of recommendations to first dates.

Hello devs, me and a friend want to do a little experiment. We want to install some kinda tracking software on his android phone to monitor everything he does for a few weeks to see what data/metadata his phone sends to what servers etc. Problem, we can't seem to find an app (free) which does this... Any recommendations?

Hey I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for external software I should get for coding?

I've heard good things about git?
Any suggestions?

Hello World! First post here. I'm literally done with frontend stuff. I want to design code, not to code design. Unless it's Processing. I find it cute. So.. I have a somewhat handy grasp on C++ because of a class in electronics course, Python seems quite easy to catch. I'm totally new to programming. I'd like to get into software, game development and android development (but I would like to do things cross-platform).
Which paths, resources, languages, useful books, videos, or just anything would you recommend?

To be fair, I have no coding friends so mentorship or simply finding code buddies would be great. 💜

So I just completed reading this book and it was pretty awesome. Can anyone recommend me similar books? Which are not language specific but cover computer science concepts & is fun to read.

Well done, it made it into the top recommendations for "sudo"

What music do you listen to when you code? Also, can you please recommend some. Music with minimal to no wording is what interests me. Any suggestions would be appreciated:)

@dfox @trogus how is Appcelerator working out for you guys for cross platform development?

I’m going to be making/totally rewriting the mobile apps for an online service this summer and I’m looking into options.

Currently I’m considering Xamarin, React Native, and Flutter, but I looked at the devrant tech stack page and began looking into appcelerator. What made you guys choose that? What’s the experience like?

Also if anyone else has arguments to make for any of the other three go for it! I’m a fairly new (compared to a lot of people on here) dev but Im pretty confident without programming knowledge and I’m just curious what the industry recommendations/people’s opinions are.

Thanks devrant, you’re awesome!

why does youtube say "recommended for you" ?

for one, scrolling down the right is ALL recommendations.

and they're mostly things i've already watched or obviously related to them, so duh

redundancy much?

You know you do too much python when this comes up in word recommendations

Friend : hey! I wanna buy a laptop.. range is about entry level nothing hi fi! But it should work for 3-4 years.

Me : sure.. give me a few hours..i'll get back.

*Looks all around foe the best thing in that price range.

*Sends a list of laptops ranked based on value for money.

Friend : bought it! Yay! 😎😎😎

*Buys the shittiest laptop they could find at that price range with an absolute old age processor.

Why the fuck did you even ask me at the first place? Fucked couple of hours for me.

So... I need a laptop shelf for the monster on the right. Ideally it should be out of sight.
Other than that any other recommendations for my strange corner desk setup?

Going to buy a 3D printer but need help with choosing a good one about 200$.

Bought a new android phone and spent an hour:
* uninstalling apps
* disabling automatic updates

My boss refuses to take any of recommendations for improving the companies out dated website because "our age market is 50-60" it has to be blan and simple.

Like seriously what the fuck, this is why no other generation is staying in the webpage more then 30 seconds!

I somehow managed to turn on overtype with the insert key.

Welp, guess it's time to get a new laptop. Any recommendations?

Thank you for all the recommendations and sorry for ignoring them.
I'll try F# for now.

Any recommendations for tv-series that are like mr. robot and silicon valley?

Everyone who self taught themselves code, how did you do so? Books, websites, any recommendations?

For some reason every news app I ever try to use thinks I'm Canadian. 90% of posts are local Canadian news outlets. I also think Google's algorithm profile built over the years has me pegged completely wrong. Absolutely nothing makes sense in their adverts or recommendations.

Going to give a keynote speech in a convention in Karlsruhe, Germany next week. I'm excited.

Any recommendations from local devRanters?

Hello World!

Just wanted to ask about the best souvenirs in Munich, Germany?

Our CTO is currently having a consultancy work in Munich, and would like to let him repay his debts for not delivering deliverables on time or should I spank his butt instead? So much for his demands and ignorance! 🤔 😈

Or any recommendations that could be of help?

Danke!

I've been using Bootstrap for my websites for a long time now. I'm looking to change things up a lot on a couple of them. Anyone have any recommendations for some great bootstrap alternatives?

What game engine would you recommend to an indie developer? The type who can't afford a fucking server to run the bloated and buggy unity editor but is actually a developer so isn't afraid of typing.
I've had enough of the improper sandboxing (will crash bc of game scripts), tempfile-based crash-unaware instance tracking (won't restart afterwards) and lack of UI scaling (seriously, that's like accessibility/retina support basics) that is the unity editor. If they had command line tools I'd use them happily.

Even MonoDevelop doesnt work properly with unity on Linux.
Any recommendations ??
Best would be if i get it to work with Atom or VScode.

Any good HTML site that I can use on server and download files trough it that are on the server ?
And no I don't want to just remove the site and use it like that I want it customizable.

And also I'm not admin of the server so It needs to be something that can run without being a package.

Hello there devranters, long time no see
I have a question for all the computer scientists and students out there. Do you have book recommendations especially for the maths part? I'm in the process of buying some books, they're very expensive but if I'm going to buy they might as well be useful books.

so the PHP Standards Recommendations part two (PSR-2) says
"Code MUST use 4 spaces for indenting, not tabs."

and i feel devastated

I'm considering getting to learn to use Linux, however, I have No idea what distribution I should start out with, any recommendations? If you know a good tutorial to getting started, feel free to post :)

Any recommendations on a vpn service for privacy?

Thinking about dual booting a Linux OS on my PC do you have any recommendations on what to use? I'm used to windows and want to dabble into Linux for curiosity's sake ☺️

And here I was thinking I would finally give in and buy a Macbook Pro... Anyone got recommendations? Apple messed up for us developers...

Time to switch distro (I'm run debian it the moment ) any recommendations

Small laptop recommendations? Highest 15" I'll be installing Linux and mostly be programming doing research etc so don't need anything too power intensive I'm currently looking at the star lite ultrabook / laptop. Needs are long battery life, great keyboard.

Strongly thinking about fully switching to Linux. I love simplicity but also want to use a good looking environment - Any recommendations? (Distro-wise and DesktopEnv-wise)

My current favorite distros (without trying tho) are Manjaro, PopOS, maybe Arch? (not sure how complicated it is, really.)

Coming from Windows, i'd probably use a VM for Photoshop and Lutris for gaming. Anything else will be lovely native :D

Would be nice to hear about your experiences and recommendations! ^^

Anyone got some good recommendations for a Rust library that takes SQLite and lets you turn it into JSON?

I'm asking for a friend...also, I'm fairly positive the Puritans over at StackOverflow would have me crucified if I asked this one over there...

Just accepted my first "real" job as a front end web developer at a software dev shop! I say "real" because I have no clout at my current job and I'm repeatedly thrown under the bus by the head of IT and my tech recommendations are typically scoffed at.

Really ready to be in a place where everyone else breathes programming. Yay.

I hate when companies do not respect our privacy, yet I still use google. I am trying to move away further from those spying tech giants, but it is pretty hard. I have deleted everything from the cloud, and I mostly keep things local. I encrypt all of my important files and emails.

But I still use google services since 2013. My gmail has 5 years worth of emails and all of my accounts are registered using that email. Can you recommend any email services and a way to move my accounts?

P.S: I am trying to slowly move away from the Google Search engine to duckduckgo.com. Hopefully I will be successfull.

Can someone explain this to me?

I have dabbled with Linux quite a few times in the past (dual booting with Windows) and I'm looking to get into it again. Any recommendations? Any horror stories?

So far I've daily driven Ubuntu, Mint, Manjaro, and CrunchBang. KDE and Gnome are my go-to DEs.

Trying out linux. Any recommendations on what to do/learn.

All the youtubers ranting about adpocalypse, watchtime and such for weeks now..

And tbh i didn't really care. But for fucks sake the AI youtube uses to recommend videos indeed sucks!

You know back in the days, when you listened/watched part 1 of a playthrough and were just fine with the upcoming video because it was part 2, 3, 4 and so on of the series?

FUCK THIS. How about now that you saw part 1 of Scykohs "Pokemon Snap Playthrough", watch some random fucking shit of jacksepticeye?

FUCK YOU. THENKS.

I used to fall asleep and wake up with some chill ass gameplays on my tv. But now I fall asleep with using my remote to direct myself to the next part of the video and wake up to some random ass content nobody wants to watch.

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!

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

Khan Academy - Same
VulnHub - download vulnerable VMs and hack them, or learn by reading writeup on how to do it!

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!

Any linux distro recommendations that works well in a virtual machine? Would like to try Linux but I still use Windows for my everyday C# and student life.

I've bought my new laptop (vostro 5471 with ips, 8250u, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd) and it came with ubuntu.
I was keen to give linux a shot but I just got frustrated and installed windows. Now I feel dirty on the inside. Any tips to get comfortable with linux? Distro recommendations are also welcome.

Can anyone recommend a good free blogging site?

Was going to use wordpress but im not paying 130 AUD just to map it to a sub domain.

Blogger has very few options when it comes to themes and custom themes.

And tumblr... Is tumblr (I was using it but decided to rid myself of such filth)

I need a bit of advice, I'm looking to rent a dedicated server for dev and test small projects and maybe host a site in the future but mainly a box I can access from everywhere and constantly online
I checked out ovh and server4you but I wanted real experience from a community I can trust, any recommendations?

I will get a new laptop for my apprenticeship today. I'm not sure if I should install Manjaro GNOME, Manjaro KDE or Fedora Workstation. What are your recommendations?

Alright dev's, I have pretty much given up on ChromeOS and Chromebooks, my Samsung Chromebook Plus is far from the rock solid stable and battery sipping champion it used to be, constantly crashing, sluggish, 4 hours of battery at most, terrible android performance and the list goes on (Plus fucking bullshit Pixel device exclusive features can fuck off)

I use my Macbook Pro more than ever but the lack of being able to install Linux is a massive blow, so I'm looking for some laptop recommendations and here are the criteria.

1. Don't want a tablet
2. Prefer a clamshell but will deal with a convertibal
3. Max price of $1000 AUD (~$4.25 USD)
4. If it has dedicated graphics, prefer AMD
5. Prefer windows to not be pre-installed but can deal with it if it is

Was previously looking at the XPS line but um... Base model 13 inch is ~$1600 AUD so nope .-.

Fire away people!

So I want to install Linux (mainly bc of you guys) on my Laptop, but I don't know which one to choose. It is used mainly for coding (web and Java), Surfing and maybe 1-2 games. Any recommendations?

Does anyone here listen to game dev related podcasts? If so, which ones?
From me, I can definitely recommend The Debug Log. They've got a lot of energy, knowledge and experience. Also the way they talk makes me feel a lot more motivated.

What are some other lesser known great apps for programmers and developers?

Hey Linux users!

I have successfully convinced a friend to change from MacOS to a Linux based system (because she needs new hardware).
Now I am asking myself which distribution would be most qualified for her. She is a relatively old lady and only knows Mac (no Windows or Linux knowledge), so it should be easier for her if the new system would look similar to the Mac environment she knows. (Using console is no problem.)
Another point is compatibility: She needs some (commercial) software (like GitKraken and design stuff), so it would be cool if the Linux versions of them would work on the distro (for one or two programmes Wine is needed).
After my own reasearch I came up with Elementary OS or Gmac.
Because I have no experience with Mac I want to ask you: Has anyone here some experiences with these two systems and/or with a change from Mac to Linux and could recommand a distribution or desktop environment?

Thank you!

As someone who has just finished a foundation degree in computer science, I'm really wanting to get 'my foot in the door' with the IT industry to start building my career that I'm so passionate about, but I just don't know where to start. Any recommendations in what level of jobs I should apply for/where to begin?

Recommendations for growing a new open source project? I'm all ears if anyone has done or has any thoughts on this as my company just open sourced our Flutter mobile app since it lines up with platform values.

I'm also super excited 😍

Probably discussed somewhere in here but I wanna know which Cherry MX keys you guys prefer the most for programming.

Looking to do another linux dual boot on my laptop, any recommendations to try out?

Trying to move away from Ubuntu but still would prefer something debian based and would play nicely with a touch screen!

Got a new laptop and now need a backpack that can comfortably carry 2 laptops plus a few notebooks and other small everyday items. Any recommendations?

Any recommendations for books on system administration in *nix? BSD books also second!

I've always been a programmer but would love to learn about sys admin.

So I feel confident at least in my front end development skills to maybe start freelancing in the near future. Does anybody have any good recommendations for where to start? How to draw in remote clients? Etc. I honestly dont know the first thing about remote work other than what I've researched.

Any browser (+plugin) recommendations for viewing JSON and XML? Ideally for Mac OS, but have a Windows 7 VM I can use instead if there's a much better option. Currently I'm copying from Safari and pasting into Notepad++ and formatting with a plugin, but that feels pretty sub-optimal. Suggestions much appreciated.

Any mid-class phone recommendations?

I want a good battery and relatively okay performance. Any android device, between 150-350€ maybe.
(Idc about camera etc)

So I plan to ditch my 17" heavy gaming laptop to chose something more suitable for school for a (13/14") ultrabook (I plan to run Debian on it) that has a decent battery life
Anyway, I looked at those chinese ultrabook on AliExpress/gearbest but I'm a bit skeptical about some factors.
Anyone has recommendations about a model or some advices?

I need a desk mascot any recommendations?

I recently started to use automated tests for everything and it is really great to not worry about every little change anymore.
But I think I'm not very good at it. The tests themselves are quite slow and I'm not sure if I'm covering everything the right way. Also, I'm very slow at writing the test cases.
SO I want to learn more about it. Do you have any recommended books on this topic? Anything about unit or feature tests and TDD, language specific (PHP) or general is appreciated

Where y'all host your website / API on?? any recommendations for me ?

Hey devrant, what do y'all listen to when you're working? What gets you in the zone?

Personally, I listen to a lot of chiptunes, some Opeth, Black metal, 70's, and lately, a lot of Mega Drive. Awesome stuff, but it's admittedly a weird mix. Always looking to find new stuff to listen to.

Salutations fellow devs,

I come here today to seek your wisdom about an issue that is troubling me more and more lately. Here is the situation: I am a data scientist, my core skills are to build and implement models for classification/regression/clustering purposes. Working at a Startup, we don't have a person in charge of putting into production the models I build, so I'm in charge of that; the problem is that I'm really not skilled at it. We use an IaaS cloud service to deploy our code, and I manage to somehow make things work, but the whole thing could be improved to make the deployment faster, do continuous integration, make the servers handle more requests per time unit, and reduce the costs of the cloud infrastructure. So here is the question: can you point me to books/tutorials/online courses about "this stuff" (I'm guessing DevOps but I'm not really familiar with the term)?

Side note: I would really like to know if any of you was in this situation and how did you manage it.

My commute time recently went from 15 min. to 50 min. (rant for another time). Looking for a podcast that I can listen to on my way to work. It can be language specific (java) or it could be about software development in general. Anyone have any recommendations?

So an old friend (high school classmate) asked me recommendations on several older/second hand laptop ads he saw online. He listed several items with detailed specs sheets and I replied with

Ctrl+F thinkpad
Search term not found

I need recommendations for a Bluetooth keyboard for my MBP 2018 15". Thanks! 🙂

My preference:
- compact and quiet (no numpad)

- OS X layout
- NOT a mechanical keyboard
- NO USB receiver

Nice to have/Bonus:
- good design for office work
- backlit functionality
- known brand
- rechargeable

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 :)

Any 'A Perfect Circle' fans out there? Was wondering if you could recommend some similar acts?

Got this tune stuck in my head resonating deeply:

"Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now

So I'm pretty new to PHP after coming off 5 years worth of Java. So far I've used nothing but standard, out-of-the-box code. Anyone got any recommendations for frameworks or nice tools I could look at? I'd especially like something that could make forms and database interactions easier (my software is a lot of data capturing and reporting)

So spotify, the only music platform that matched my taste (youtube recommendations rant for another time) is not available in my country. I try to go over this using a proxy and voila, DRM kicks in.

Maybe it's worth mentioning that I do a lot of Android development. Haha!
