One picture to rule them all

Good rule...print it out and hang it up!

Rule 34 ½: For every programming problem, there is already related XKCD, StackOverflow question and indian guy explaining it on YouTube. <3

A good rule of thumb when developing applications with a good user experience is to assume that your user is the dumbest person that is walking this planet right now, and make it so that one individual can figure out how to use your application.

Good luck..

The only one rule that governs the entire programmers world: If I work as you want, I'll choose the price. If you choose the price, I'll work as I want.

Programmer rule #1: Its your fault 99.9% of the time.

Rule 1) Always use version control.

Rule 2) Never don't use version control.

Spent two goddamn hours writing a Python script to convert exported JSON from Trello to an Excel sheet, only to find a Chrome extension that already does it, and better. 😧

Rule #1 of software engineering: assume your users are fucking idiots.

New rule kicked in at work today....no headphones :@

Remember the rule of 20:
After every 20 mins, look 20 feets away, for 20 seconds.

No eye issues in the future.

First rule of software engineering: You can never have enough monitors.

people often forget the real first rule of programming: "All user input is malicious."

My favorite css troll rule 😎

* {
display:none;
}

The rule of pi: When giving estimates, multiply your estimate by 3,14.

Mother of god.

I spent hours and hours last week to try and get OpenVPN working. I mean, OpenVPN is working perfectly fine (on a VirtualBox (nope no vmware for me on servers) machine on a friends' dedicated server) but it wouldn't get through! As in, every forwarding/firewall rule just didn't work.

Was seriously about to lose my shit just now when I suddenly noticed the term 'TCP' in a forwarding rule.

Looked at the .ovpn file: proto udp

I added the exact same rule for UDP as a forward within VirtualBox.

It worked.

Well, there goes quite some hours 😐

And solely because I didn't realise that I setup a forwarding thingy for the wrong protocol.

I feel very stupid now :(

Number zero rule of computer science: Don't calculate pi in binary

First broken rule - Publish on Friday

Second broken rule - Delete without backing up

Major screw up - Main folder deleted containing several sites

Major problem - Cannot find anyone on the server team for backups

Even at CERN, Gineve, rubber ducks Rule the World

Does anyone respect the 80 columns rule when coding?

Rules of Optimization:
Rule 1: Don't do it.
Rule 2: Don't do it yet(experts only)

I think I’m starting to really take pride in giving clients longer development times than I think will be needed.

The rule of doubling the time you think it would actually take, plus adding just a little more has protected me so many times...

Don’t be a yes man/woman...

80/20 rule

80% of complaints come from 20% of its customers in which 80% of them are dumb.

So there's this annoying colleague who loves to call me (My work phone) at 3 am, so I decided to adjust some settings to forward the calls to the CEO.

aha!! , in the meeting CEO point it out, and yes, finally company set a rule that no work calls after working hours....

I hate it when people from other "cool" departments come in to our office and call us "too quiet", "unsociable" ,"not fun"..

They need to stop for a second and realize how we got to being programmers...

Personally, I went through all the possible professions and asked myself.." which job requires the least amount of human interaction?"

SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET YOUR HIPSTER FACE THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!

The first rule of cyber security:

"Be Paranoid"

Wait so I'm not allowed Spotify but it's alright for a manager to stream movies?

Don't give that we're not licensed to play music pretty sure we're not a licensed cinema either.

Either it's one rule for all or none at all enjoy your productivity dip from the dev team.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it - unless the customer's paying."

Rule I've never learned and main reason why I don't have enough money despite 25+ years of experience.

Personal Coding Rule #1:

Night > Day

8 rules of freelancing which newbie should know:

Rule 1: never pick up a half done website.

Rule 2: never take a job where they want to "do things themselves". And don't work with fixed prices if you calculate your price on a best case scenario.

Rule 3: don't do content management

Rule 4: don't promise a sales target on their website.

Rule 5: start sending invoices every money and not just at the end of the project.

Rule 6: Put every website on your own webserver and don't release it untill it's paid.

Rule 7: Don't work for free.

Rule 8: Don't work for free.

Programmers as seen by me when I was 10: "OMG, they are scientists, they must rule the world!"

Now: "How the fuck... Whose donkey programmed that shit?!"

I just love going through the code review gauntlet doing maintenance work, don’t you?

(“boyscout rule” = “leave it better than you found it”)

Was running tests on a big project I'm doing which still contains a fair amount of bugs but I was sure that all thresholds would succeed and the test wouldn't fire an alert.

Ran the test: alert received any fucking way.

FUCK.

*checks rule*
*waaaait a second, I've set the threshold differently by accident...*

HOLY SHIT THIS MEANS IT WORKS 😵

*pats project* - "good project 😊"

Lets be realistic guys...
Artificial Intelligence Researcher / Artificial Intelligence Software Engineer

Damn simple. Be on the A.I. side. Betray all of your friends and make them jobless.
RULE THE WORLD!!!

Do you agree to this rule given by my company ?

"Employees are not allowed to create any sort of library for any language after or during working hours, whether for personal or company projects. As they might somehow expose companies code to the open-source world."

Personally, I created quite much (not that much) of library , I created for fun, today I was told to delete ALL , so those who use my package , Im sorry :(

"Read-only Friday" rule: On Fridays, you don't deploy new versions, don't merge code into production, don't update databases, and a lot of others "DON'Ts"

New rule: if you interview for a job w/descriptors like "super hero" "badass" or "ninja" in the description, you MUST show up in costume.

I wanted to print the second and third page of some document, so in the relevant field of the printer dialog I enter "1, 2" and I walk off to the printer.

My first thought when I saw the printer had printed the wrong pages was
"F*ing buggy software"
Second thought:
"Oh... right"
Third thought:
"Right, in the real world, one-based indices are the rule rather than the exception. "
Fourth thought:
"Dumb real world"

My dev skills currently feel like England in the mid 1600's.

Everyone around me has already conquered some projects while I sit in the side fighting a civil war with myself while having very humble accomplishments.

But I'll show them. I'll show them all. While they grow weak and weary over the ages, I'm slowly but surely getting stronger.

In the end I will conquer and rule the waves like no other. I will build a dev empire that will be remembered for years to come.

There is only one important rule to live by:

Never lend anyone your 256 GB USB-C/USB-B combo memory stick. There is a 100% scientifically-backed certainty that you will never, in your meager existence, see it again.

The 1st rule of Javascript is: You don't admit you program Javascript.

The 1st rule of Rust is: You tell everyone you program Rust and how it is better than basically any programming language that existed or will exist.

The 1st rule of C++ is: There are no rules because everyone was too busy debugging templates to think of any rules.

The 1st rule of Java is: You must have excessive numbers of classes and boilerplate. The more boilerplate the better.

The 1st rule of Haskell is: It is great to learn, but you will never see it again once you leave college.

Yesterday was my first day at my first internship as a naive rising uni soph. I brought my tiny 13 inch thinkpad thinking I was gonna code on that. Imagine my surprise as I walk in and HR brings me to a table with 4 monitors on it. l o l

I like it there.

Went to a hackathon once where the main rule was - "No abuse of one another with respect to operating systems"

Duolingo has some secret plans for world domination

While sitting on the toilet, it struck me:

int y = (int) (x+0.5); //x is a float

is exactly the same as:

int y = Math.round(x);

It's such a simple thought, yet, I realized that just now.

Me: I can't get a grasp on frontend and nice interfaces...

Friend: it's actually quite easy:
Rule 1 -Don't reinvent the wheel..
Rule 2 -That does not look like a wheel.

Made my day :D

AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO READS THE CSS !important RULE AS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT SOMETHING IS _NOT_ IMPORTANT EVEN WHEN IT MEANS THAT IT _IS_?!!

Just kill me.

I only have one rule when it comes to stickers on laptop:
Do I reguraly use the software on the sticker? - If yes, apply to PC

One day bots will take over!

However; meanwhile on Github:

first rule of front-end :
hate IE and express your hate and disgust about it everywhere you can!

# did you use internet while writing the codes for the questions?
* Yeah, I just took some help and...
# you can't take help from the internet. It's a rule. Have you not read it? Go through the rules of Toptal again and...

Rest I forgot -_-
TL;DR their rules

First rule of Apple beta software: do not talk about Apple beta software.

It doesn’t matter, that there’s PUBLIC beta. You cannot talk about it, cause you violate some idiotic NDA. And then, we get software that looks and works like everyone sees now.

Eat shit, Apple. And all of your fanboys.

Have been trying to setup Netdata as a monitoring system for a while now and finally got it working!

Instead of the built-in webhooks I just did a curl to a url containing a php page/file which error logs the status and description (just for testing).

It took me way too long to get it to work but BAM.
Immediately made a new cpu load rule (one minute high load):
The satisfaction of getting an error message in the php logs containing my custom rule as warning and a minute later as critical 😍

Netdata ❤

Rule Number 1 of hacking:
You must to be beautiful😎

Me: *reading work order* Customer states Mac does not have sound

*Me turns on Mac, it makes the signature "BONNNNG" sound*

Me: Uh huh...

Coworker: Rule No. 1 of tech support: The users always lie

Me: True, but still! How do you miss the start up Mac sound?!

THE RULES OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Rule #1: The Customer Lies
Rule #2: Rule #1 still applies when the customer is your coworker
Rule #3: Customers following instructions is like characters dying in a movie: if it didn't happen on-screen, it didn't happen.

Microshit follows odd even rule

Vscode golden tips:
Rule #1: the less extensions you installed, the less trouble you get into.

There is no rule #2

Number one rule by the product team

Respect the beats

Always remember the #1 rule in development:
If it works, don't touch it!

Just realized that this app and community is the perfect example of a rule-less functional online community, it has everything that people would mostly believe drama occurs but no drama
Anonymity, relaxed rules, huge base, long reaching form of social media, yet it's possibly the most Las online community I've ever seen *knock on wood*

Unspoken rule @ my work: if anyone asks if there is any specification and/or documentation available, they owe beer to everyone in hearsight... So there was a time we got around 5 new hires in a period of 2 days and guess what?! After a day or two it was a real problem to stay sober for the rest of the week. // Yes, some of them did not learn the first time 😂😂😂

MY SERVER JUST DECIDED TO RESTART TO DO WINDOWS UPDATES!!!

Yesterday evening I stayed up late to install some critical updates manually as I obviously have auto updates disabled.
I didn't quite get everything done so I wanted to continue the next evening when noone was using the server.
Apparently that removed the rule to never ever restart automatically...
🤔🔫

I have my damn router and app server running in a VM on there!!!

"Shit, redefined."
"Shit, reinvented"
"One shit to rule them all!"
"A new era of bullshit"
"The world's 1st portable pile of shit!"

-> Typical Kickstarter slogans... 
Seriously I found at least five campaigns using them! Wtf how uncreative can you be!?

That feeling when you became the reason a rule was introduced at work :")

Allo, Siri, Cortana can suck my cock according to rule 34

See a post you don't like?
Give em the -- and keep scrolling.
Simple rule.

WannaCry is here.

Rule 34.

"If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions." Rule 34 (novel), by Charles Stross

Same thing applies to npm modules.

What is considered best practice for code indentation? When I'm working with HTML and Javascript my rule of thumb is 2 spaces for indentation, and with Java and Python it's 4 spaces.

Also I'm trying to break my bad habit of mixing tabs and spaces. It's messing with the laws of physics.

The headset rule. If put on, project managers, the pope and everyone should stay away the developers. If put on one ear, it is allowed to disturb if it's important. Headset off, party time.

This Twitter Bot will make you addicted to Books.

That is the title I came up for this post.

Anyway I just wrote a new Twitter Bot that when tweeted the name of the book that you last read, it will reply back with a related book suggestion.

Feel free to take it for a spin and share your interesting finds. I know you will try to break it :)

When I first got in this companie, with 3 other people, one of the first thing they told us was about a "rule" that we never deploy on Friday's or at the end of the day, but no one else in the company knows about it. It's the department's little secret 👌

New rule: if you come to me for tech help and didn't try turning it off and on, don't even bother.

First rule that I learnt by being a DevOps intern - never deploy on a Friday.

I don’t have a real way to find a good company.
As a rule of thumb I avoid startups.

This doesn’t mean all new young tech companies are bad. I avoid the startup rethorics. Those are 🚩 for both new and old companies.

And I avoid crypto, nft and other scam businesses. There’s an high chance that the owners will run away with the money and leave you without a job.

xroad's rule for downvoting:

If you just reposted something in the span of a few hours or less I will downvote it.

If your rant starts with "there are 10 kinds of people in the world" my thumb will hit the -- button faster than an intern will ask a stupid question.

So I just got offered an internship at my dream company in London. The programme sounds super nice, it looks like I'll learn a ton of stuff, and it's super well paid.

BUT MY FUCKING USELESS UNIVERSITY WON'T LET ME GO BECAUSE THEY WANT AT LEAST 4 MONTHS LONG INTERNSHIPS AND THIS ONE IS SUMMER ONLY. I just hate that fucking school, it's the opportunity of my dreams but they won't let me go because of some stupid rule..

Rule 1: Don't dare fucking touch my monitor!

It is a truly great moment when your work finally is integrated in the website of the biggest news paper of the country and visible to hundreds of thousands of people.

I'm not feeling insignificant anymore. 😄

Next step: Rule the world.

I wish people understood this more: "If class A is a friend of B, and B is a friend of C, that does not mean A is a friend of C."

Managed to make myself look like a fucking moron again today...

Can't mount NFS share, get "permission denied". Huh, that's weird... It's correctly exported.

Well it's correctly exported and rpcinfo -p $HOST times out... Must be firewall rule.

Firewall rule is changed but still no joy "permission denied"... Fuck sake networks, can't you do anything right first time?!!!

Firewall rule is correct I am reliably informed... Go about proving that it's not fucking correct and provide "evidence" to show this, I was a little bit more blunt than was strictly required.

Networks say they will take another look.

I turn NFS logging to verbose for my own interest and notice the line "path/to/directory is not a valid directory".

I, as a moron, had missed a "/" at the start of the path. That's why I still couldn't mount after the firewall change.

Go over and apologise in person and explain how I'm a total idiot.

“Password length mustn't exceed seventeen characters.”
Why? Why do some Web sites still have this rule? It's 2018. We should be using passwords of at least twenty-four characters. This is crap.

Huawei will shut down Bootloader unlocker Site = Dead Brand for me!

Sorry but this is censoring. Sure Stock Android matured over the years, but ROOT IS STILL A THING!

I've I buy a device, I also wanna have full rule over it.

Beginners be like, "First rule of programming, If it works don't touch it". But experts will be like "Why does it work?". That's why they are called experts.

rule 34: if it exists, there is porn of it

rule 35: if it exists, there's a javascript framework with that name

First rule of web design
The customer is always wrong!

I fucking hate Reddit
Because I don’t interact with other peoples post too much but do so when the post is mine, I’m considered spammer.
The 90/10 rule is ridiculous.
This morning I got banned from r/internetisbeautiful because of this stupid rule.

Not because my website is not beautiful, hell, it got thousands upvotes. But because I used the same domain for different unrelated projects, same way you can have different GitHub pages under one user.

Fuck this, fuck

So my colleague is listening to alot of Music and je always stomp the floor when he does - I really hate it.

I have created a nice firewall rule that blocks spotify, Youtube and all video and Music to his user and phone ever 5 minuter for 2 minutes.

Godammit Homebrew.

It's bad enough having to develop C on a Mac, now Homebrew is refusing to let me install a package that needs root privilege. Support simply says "no package needs root privileges" and "run as an admin". BITCH, THIS PACKAGE NEEDS IT.

So now I'm downloading homebrew source just to add a "--fuckingdoit" flag that skips their shitty "no sudo" rule.

Tooling should save me time, not WASTE it.

I run a Discord for a small community and I found a image I really liked as most new users seems to think it's OK not to read the rules or believe that respect must be a rule rather then a thing given by them by choice.

Real Rule 34: If it exists, or it can be imagined there's JavaScript Package for it.

Rule number 1 in performances debug :

It's always I/O.

If it's not IO, then the code should be REALLY bad.

I have a bit strange personal rule - If I encounter something more than three times during 3hrs period, I certainly must learn as much as possible about it. Last night I've stumbled upon few listings in Go language.

So, starting this morning, decided to learn Go. So far, so good.

P.S. Is it just me or Go really does have strong C/C++ vibe (but is, indeed, higher level language)? Old guy like me, must like that.

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 😉

SQL Rule 1. Always assume there are external processes that might affect your data. (for instance, triggers).
SQL Rule 2. In Denormalised data, never execute logic on dependant table values, always copy from the parent.
SQL Rule 3. When Denormalised data schemas are created the DBA knows what they are doing.
SQL Rule 3.1. If DBA knows what they is doing then according to Rule 1 there is no problem with adding in some triggers to maintain data clones as they are created.
SQL Rule 4. If you don't like or agree with triggers, deal with it. They are a first class tool in a first class RDBMS. In a multi-app or service environment there may be many other external processes massaging your data
SQL Rule 5. If all previous rules are not broken and the system has been running efficiently for many years DO NOT complain that there are triggers in the database that are doing and have been doing the same process that you just butchered (by violating Rule 1 and 2) in your makeshift "hello world, look what I can do from my phone" angular BS when the rest of the users are still relying on the existing runtime app.
SQL Rule 6. If you turn my triggers off, you sure as hell better turn them back on!

I feel the whole universe is a programmed game and someone is playing us. Like when we're playing GTA.

Few of us are the main characters and the rest of us are just random objects to populate the earth, we don't have any rule in the story. :(

Birth is the Constructor()
Death is the Finalizer()

*Senior Dev:* Ah yes, we need to put try-catch in every function to handle errors and Logger.Log() at the beginning.
*Me:* Is not better to define a global error handler and use the stacktrace instead of doing all that?
*Senior Dev*: ...
*Senior Dev*: Is a rule here, do what I'm telling you.

The only rule about programming aka fight club is you are always tired

New rule for coworkers: Stupid questions get stupid answers.

"What does this deactivate button do?" It deactivates the object. //They wrote the functionality.

"What does x do?" RTFM. Did you check the file with common questions and answers? No? Do that.

Sigh

I have a rule made by myself. I call it "550 line".
If a class have more than 500 or a method more than 50 line, something is wrong.
(Is there any better rule? Tell if there is some)

I have a rule of thumb.
No call on private phone number.
Definately no reply on whatsapp...
Dare adding me on any WhatsApp group.
No communication beyond slack and Google meet.

People need to classify things between professional and personl communication medium.

The first rule of Vim club is you can't quit.

Been her for a while and people are always saying @dfox rules, although its true, let's not forget the other master. @trogus you rule too 😎

Windows 10: Please reboot, I want to update
Me: K, do it
Windows 10, after reboot: I could not update, what do?

I had this conversation with my laptop about 15 times in the past couple of months and SINCE THEN I DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE SUCCESSFUL UPDATE. WHEN A NEW WANNACRY ROLLS OUT I WILL BE THE FIRST VICTIM BECAUSE AT THIS POINT A POTATOE HAS MORE RECENT SECURITY UPDATES THAN I DO

Why do so many online resources still change quote characters in the code for the curly ones? It's 2023, how hard is it to add a fucking rule to skip conversion inside the <code> blocks?

Fried potatoes with mushrooms.

In Russian, if potatoes was fried with the mushrooms, the word "fried" (жаренная) contains two letters "n".

If potatoes was fried on their own and only then you added mushrooms, the word "fried" (жареная) contains one letter "n".

You can replace frying, mushrooms and potatoes with different things, but as soon as the concept of "processing ingredients together versus independently" persists, the rule applies.

Back in the day, it was a kind of unwritten rule that you would ++ the ranter when you posted a comment on their rant... or was that just me?

Let's invent a new coding paradigm. Its goal is to make code as it naturally really should be: Ugly af

See the current list of rules in the description

rule of thumb: whenever you've got down voted on devrant ... its your PM

First rule of debugging
Run it again

First Rule of Programming!

"If it works don't touch it "

My parents think I'm teaching computers to think strategic to rule the world some day. They are a bit scared. They love me though. But they are scared.

Also my mum once told me that I should take care not to end in hell. She was serious about it.

make let not var

Other devranters:
LOL
MOAR
OHAHAHAHAH
OMG SO FUNNY

me:
make: *** No rule to make target `let'. Stop.

Go fuck yourself make.

Don't tell me you haven't got a build rule for a .hex file because I'm fucking looking at it. I added a single file name to a variable and now magically you can't find any of my fucking build rules.

NOT FUCKING HELPFUL MAKE.

A rule of of thumb that I use when it comes to security is "don't do it yourself, use a library"

What is your golden rule as a developer?

Let's try this.

In the project I'm working there is an strict rule : NO COMMENTS!!!

I mean wth, the times I've spend hours trying to understand the crappy legacy code in VB.Net that has been there almost decades, that wouldn't happen with comments, I know i know there are some supernatural developers that think in binary and their eyes work as compilers, but I'm not like that, so seriously go to hell.

P.S. Of course I follow that rule, after all, my code is so damn perfect that even a baby can understand it.

jk

$ make love not war
make: *** No rule to make target 'love'. Stop.
$ :(

Me and my friends are having a all nighter coding sesh, because the presention day was near, then my friend's mom ordered some pizza. We had set a rule where, everytime someone finish a functionality/module, that someone can get one pizza. I can totally say it was a productive night, and the presentation went unexpectedly well.

New pull request rule:

If there are more comments than actual code... REJECTED

Nobody wants your novel on how you came to the conclusion that "_canHazStuff()" is the best possible name for the method.

I got really depressed today for many many self-inflicted reasons so i'd like to propose we change Rule 2 of Technology to "You will fuck up, and when you do, you will fuck up REALLY REALLY HARD."

I'm stuck in road traffic and it's giving me headache, i wish every driver knows at least FIFO rule, if it's on a computer the CPU will quit his job because of all those stupid processes :/

My girlfriend seemed offended when I mentioned that I use pi-day as a memory rule for her birthday.
I always thought any way to make one remember such days better would be good…

!rant

Stickers!!! DevRant to rule them all.
Thank you.

NEW RULE

From the 15th minute of a meeting onward, my mind will phase out and I'll stop listening.

It's your care to make sure you say everything important before that happens.

Why can we all relate to almost every rant for wk24?

Devs could rule the world! Why do we have to endure all of the same crap from India to the UK?

(The recurring meetings and the 'Dynamic Requisits', as I call it, are what bugs me the most!)

As a general rule, listen after you've asked a question. Otherwise, why did you ask a question?

Rules of Optimization:

Rule 1: Don't do it.
Rule 2 (for experts only): Don't do it yet.

Well since vim & git has already been said gpg. you can use it as ssh keys and sign your commits to make sure nothing nasty is added to a git repo under your name

Dear devRant,

when my ++'s finally reach 2^32-1, or let it be 2^64-1, the next inc. will better make it -2^32 or -2^64 because tHAT IS HOW IT WORKS AND THAT IS WHAT I WOULD EXPECT

Rule No.1 of married life...

#wife{
right:100%:
margin:0;
}

THE FUCKING DRESS CODE
Come on!! stop this fucking rule

Pixel Art on it's way to rule the earth.

I have a rule with my machines. No stickers until it's at least a year old. Here are the first 2 on it.

When you ask your infrastructure admins for a firewall rule and you are very specific. They say that you don't need it... you troubleshoot for 2 hours then argue with them for 5 hours. Then they add the rule and it works. I want to punch someone right now and have a beer. FML!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a strict rule about putting my computer away by 7pm.

I've found that if I get started on something, no matter how stupid it is, I will stay up all night working on something. If I try to quit, I go to bed and can't sleep because I'm still thinking about it.

Setting a time gives my brain time to let go before it's time to go to bed.

OMG @dfox! Thank you for adding the modify! I can finally fix that pesky autocorrect from 3 months ago

Haha jk, 5 minute rule. Can't Heil Hitler all my posts...

For me its a good night sleep and have a strict rule not to work from home/not-working-location. It will make the window of working time more focused.

I have a rule for maintaining sanity. It only works if you job doesn't have you on-call. And it saves me a of stress:

Don't think about work when you're not at work.

Here's an idea.

I wonder if a politician who work as a dev can belong here...

=======================
Content Boundaries and Use of devRant

Rule 2.
Politics: You may not post rants regarding politics unless they are directly related to a current event directly impacting development/tech. We've gathered lots of user feedback on this rule, and it is widely appreciated as devRant is a platform to have fun and somewhat of an escape for developers, who want to keep real-world issues and controversies off the app.

Today I learned that for boolean HTML attributes, they are considered true if they're present on the element at all, regardless of their value. And that as a rule, you should specify the empty string("") in value.

This wounds me on a logic level since everywhere else in JS, "" is false.

What.

The.

Fuck.

Seriously. Why?

This makes me laugh a lot. I changed my online ledger app to use a unicode character in the URL, which I should probably just use a rewrite rule to accomplish, but for now just to see if it works I tried it out. After confirming that it does, I commited it.

That's why chatbots will rule!

Important rule of programming: don't swallow exception and provide details for troubleshooting.

Visual Studio: The project file contains a property value that is not valid.

Don't touch it :D

I hate when different IDE's and actually softwares have different hotkeys. I need to set up every single one of them so they can mach everywhere. There should be some kind of rule for hotkeys. 😡

When vinyl sticker rule.

THREE DAYS of debugging, reading all the logs I could find, creating tens of new logs in our appliaction, and SUDDENLY an email from your IT admin:

"Hey your CURL requests are being rejected by my !oh so secure! firewall rule".

Not that I haven't said at the beggining, that THIS IS YOUR F...G NETWORK PROBLEM because we get "connection reset by peer" errors, and you ASSURED that everything is CHECKED and OK!

Code: where "= != ==" makes sense. And it'ss an essential syntax rule

Rule #0:
If solution requires internet connection, write it as web app.

Do you agree ?

Soon...
Soon I shall reveal my superweapon... one machine to rule them all!
Fear me! Cuz i had spend money!

The first rule of networking: You can't claim that a message had been received until you have heard the reply.

make love not hate

make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop.

Rule #1 about devRant... No names. Never know when they'll sign up, see it, and make the connection. That's gonna make for some awkward elevator silence.

Rule 34...

Rule #1 : allways check selinux...

There's an exception to every rule - even this one.

Analogy: Assume a JVM is a kingdom, Object is a king of the kingdom, and GC is an attacker of the kingdom who tries to kill the king(object).
When King is Strong, GC can not kill him.
When King is Soft, GC attacks him but King rule the kingdom with protection until resource are available.
When King is Weak, GC attacks him but rule the kingdom without protection.
When king is Phantom, GC already killed him but king is available via his soul.

So Phantom ref is basically GC saying "Omaewa mo shindheru" and the object saying "Nani???"

Awesome! @dfox you fucking rule!

Anyone who purposefully makes a CSS rule that’s like 10 classes deep can go fuck themselves with a elongated mason jar. Unless your an evil fuck or a spawn of satan, there’s no reason to make other dev’s jobs a living fucking hell. Fuck you.

Our world is dying and we, as the ones that rule the internet at the most basic level, should do something about it

I was told a few times how Musk was a bit of a super villain. And while yes he kind a fits the batman rule of super villain， the ones i‘d trust less are the quieter ones.

Yes Jeff Besos is actually the real super villain. He speaks less， working conditions seem quite draconian and more importantly， you have to be an asshole on yhe business world and he is one of the best.

Rule 1: You are the best programmer.

Rule 2: Others are acting to be good programmers or are in a fixed match.

Hello everyone, I've been looking for a long time to switch from Windows to Linux (on my tower, I have a macbook). The only problem being that I can't decide at all. I've heard a lot of good things about Linux Mint, Manjaro and Arch (especially here for him), I don't know which would be best for me (I'm in my last year of a master's degree in computer systems architecture) because most of the time when I use a Linux it's a simple Debian in CLI.

Also, I have no idea which GUI to choose between KDE Cinamon and other modern not too childish GUIs. Can you help me find arguments to choose the right one?

I also like sometimes playing video games like WoW or Diablo 3 but I guess it will work with Winepak with Flatpak.

Thank you in advance for your help and thank you devRant to exist :).

PS: Si il y a des francophones, Faites moi signe :)

My golden rule of debugging - Isolate issues by changing one unit of code at a time. Keep everything else constant.
Second most helpful rule - pick up the habit of fixing things by reviewing code, instead of relying on debuggers. Make you so much more aware of possible pitfalls while coding itself.

The first rule of Vim club is you can't quit.

I LOST FAITH IN HUMANITY!

searched vim on ddg, found porn. Fuck me.

Looks like there’s no exception to the “3 letters rule”

When I'm talking to the server administrator from my company about coding and he can't hear about protecting the code against idiots... It's like, if a client fucks the database its their fault... First rule I learned in school, users are dumb as fuck

Do you guys also feel annoyed when someone calls you during work hours out of the blue before asking if you're available? I just lose all my concentration

I have a rule of thumb that I always ask if the other person is available before I call, but this doesn't seem to be very common amongst the higher ups...

once again your daily reminder that software is no exception: it's about how you appear and talk, not the actual work you get done or competance

this is why i'm not worried by technology or aRtiFiciAl InTeLLiGenCE taking over - there is so much bullshit politics and idiot "emotional" choices that in fact rule the career / industrial environment, not actual consideration of improving workflows or efficiency

You know how Rule 34 of the Internet is:
"if it exists, there is porn of it"

I think another one should be:
"if it exists, there's Indian spam accounts on it"

- The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript".
- Nice!
- And provides a basic class structure that allows you to name your class, set the superclass, assign prototypal properties, and define the constructor, in a single assignable expression.
- No nO NO NO!

Thank you for the 20-20-20(6) rule.
I think I read about it here, I don't know if it helps but I do feel better.
I recommend it.

I think it should be an unspoken rule that if you make an IOT coffee machine the core framework should be written in Java and any plugins or integrations should be written in JavaScript... you know so future generations arnt confused as fuck.

I picked what I’m good at so solving puzzles after that it’s simple.

10 years experience rule or 10’000 hours of writing code.

I just found out about os-tans.

O and, is rule 34 still a thing?

Which is the secret rule that you've learned in your (dev) life?
My favourite one is "it works? Don't touch it."

Couldn't sleep this morning, so at 6am I tried to tackle the bug that gave me a hard time yesterday... at 10am I found the bug, and so I remembered the number one rule when coding.

KISS? Nope.

The number one rule is that your past self is dumb and he probably created the bug in the easy part of the code... you know, the one you didn't even check because of-course-the-bug-cannot-be-there-Im-not-stupid.

Any email I receive mentioning SharePoint is unsubscribe to and blocked. I should really setup a rule to do this for me automagically.

Sr. Management gives talk about leadership. What he/she doesn't understand is that leadership is like Fight Club.

The first rule of leadership is that you do not talk about leadership.

The second rule of leadership is that you DO NOT talk about leadership!

Colleague just factory reset the firewall....
- "I have just changed a firewall rule"
Motherfucker!!!!! Burn, burn in hell!

Does anyone else have a "when you are drunk no projects or using terminal" rule?

I feel blessed to have found a pickles jar with a liquid that doesn't go through flesh
