!rant: A friend posted the frontpage of a local newspaper in the Philippines. The summary is in 'lorem ipsum'! I checked it online(epaper) and it is still there! Someone's gonna be in big trouble...

These should be removed. Like who still goes back there after devRant ??

My non-dev boyfriend installed Python via the command line and ran a server to render a map of Pokémon in his neighborhood. I don't know whether to be impressed or scared 😂

October - Hired

November - Hear that CEO 2 was stealing the company money

December - Dismissing 6 persons. CEO 1 says to me that, since I'm the last hired, I'll be the first dismissed.

March - Company doesn't get better. Dismissing 3 persons... still there.

May - Company doesn't get better. Dismissing 2 persons... still there.

July - Company doesn't get better. Dismissing 9 persons... still there.

Now, with the remaining money the company should live for about 2 years and not dismiss employees anymore.

We were 25 employees, where are 4 now. I feel like the winner of Survivor.

At first there was nothing...

Then the software engineer said "LET THERE BE A PROJECT"

and there was a project. And it was [good]

On the secondth day, he said " LET THERE BE GIT", and there was a empty git repo

his colleagues hate him because thy still live in 2001 and they use SVN. But it was {good}

On the thirdth day, he said, "LET THERE BE AUTOMATION" and build systems came, And it was </good>

On the fourth day, he said "LET THERE BE A FRAMEWORK" and a framework was born. Problem is, it didn't work in his machine , so he whined and StackOverflow. It's still ["g", "o", 0, "d"]

on the fifth day, he said " LET THERE BE FRONTEND", and the frontend was born, but his colleagues again, ranted for using Angular instead of React. It's still "good";

And on the sixth day, he said "LET IT BE SOLD TO A CUSTOMER" and it was, but the bloke was a cheapskate wanker and paid him only the half of the contract price. But it was still good.

And on the seventh day, he rested, but he didn't actually, because Developers never rest nor sleep. And it was good

I don't get why people are still using WinRAR. I discovered 7-zip years ago and while it's very minimalistic, open source and ad-free (also without any annoying "buy me now" shit), there has never been an archive I couldn't open using it.

I suck at maths. Hard. But i can still write proper code. There, i said it.

Just in case there are still some idiots out there.

This is for all the developers out there. Keep learning and keep going!

"No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying."

Dear those who did microsoft sharepoint front-end,

Fuck you

P.S. There is still 3 levels of iframe and table, but I can't show it because it contains data

Stackoverflow 101:
- spent 6 hours to Search if my problem is already asked and/or answered
- spent another 4 hours to Google the question and make sure there is no article about it,
- Still got banned.

- so you're still a programmer?
- uhm yeah?
- ok listen I need to make a video where there are two pictures that moves in different directions bla bla bla bla ...

Tested and checked in code. Left on vacation and came back.

The code I checked in still was there, still works, and didn't cause any fires while I was gone :)

Success!

Boils my fucking blood.

How many billions of dollars is Microsoft worth again? And they still make me update my fucking updater?

Why is there even a separate program for updating??

While watching season 2 of Star Trek Discovery, it was nice to learn SQL is alive and well in the 23rd century. Also, that there are still idiots that don't defend against injection on a warp-capable spaceship with transporter technology.

left a company over 3 years ago because they wanted me to dumb my code down so that the other devs could understand it. they wouldn't allow me to use classes in my code lol. anyway, 3+ years later figured I would try to log in to some of the admin panels... passwords still the same. MySQL dbs... passwords the same... cpanel... passwords the same. smh. even if I still worked there the passwords should be changed every so often. top notch security right there. funniest part is they don't even do backups or use VCS for the code. sad sad company. glad I'm no longer there. my personal projects have more security, redundancy and fail over lol

I have always thought that I am to dumb to become a dev, but after a few years doing sysadmin shit I have realized that even the most stupid, dumb and idiotic people can be a wordpress developer!

There is still hope for me

Client: "We don't want line breaks in that column make it 500px wide!"
Me: Makes the column 500px wide. Sees that the line breaks are still there. Asks if it should be made wider to fit the text.
Client: "Just implement what we send you"
Me: Ok (thinking wtf)
Client after testing: "Why are there still line breaks?!?"
🙄😥😤😭
Why the actual hell can't they get there freaking requirements in order?!? This shit happens with every fourth request!

Assembly...

Do I really need to say more? Okay, it's low level so there is no abstraction. All you deal with is cold naked mathematical truth and physical limitations.

It's still ❤️

When you get so excited you burst out signing "🎶MY CODE IS ON FIRE🎶"(Alicia keys "this girl is on fire" reference) forgetting your in a room with your fellow developers.....

5 minutes later there still laughing

When you patch the patch of the patch that patched the patch of the patch and you pray no one ever notices the original issue still burried in there.......somewhere......

Can we talk about this for a second? I mean WTF, how is Windows XP still a thing. Wasn't there a ransomeware attack recently, so every last sys admin should have some motivation to upgrade their shit?
Sure, I hear you say, it's just an information display. No critical stuff.
Well guess what, it was at an airport. Most likely not connected to any critical infrastructur, but still it's a computer, stuck at the boot screen at 11 a.m. running windows XP, connected to an airport network.
And I was standing there like: fuck me!

Whoever created LinkedIn website, please fix the fake notifications. It's so annoying. even if there is no messages or request it's still shows the notification 😣

The worst work culture I've experienced was at a local security company.
There was a reason why over 15 people come and go within 6 months (just 30 people work there):
The boss is a fucking psychopath and should be (mis)treated in a high-security mental health institution.
There has not been one sane day during the 90 days I had to work there.
A friend of mine still has to work there because he can't find anything else in his current situation...

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!

I have been off of this platform since last 4-5 years, but going through old screenshots I found this rant by @uyouthe. I checked it on the Calculator on Windows 11. 5 FUCKING YEARS and this is still there.

My university has a course "Higher Programming Languages for Engineers".

The language you actually learn there?

Fortran 90.

Technically they are right and Fortran continues to have quite an importance in the field of numeric simulations, but still. The name is pretty misleading.

Web products that disable text selection. I hate them, there are 0 reasons to do that, and still it's done.

Watching Google Analytics for my company's customer facing tools.

Almost half our traffic is made up of IE and Edge.

In that IE group, somewhere, there is a sad strange little user still on IE 8. Just one.

Poor guy.....

Official Release of Wikipedia Bot is Here

How to Use: @wiki <Query>

Runs on cron job, every minute.

If there is literally no Wikipedia page for query, still gets a relevant result.

Demo in Comments.

Thanks Windows 10 for rebooting because I left my desk for 20 minutes. It's not that there were programs still running or anything like that.

Two weeks ago, our lead presents jenkins to our apprentice.

Apprentice : why some projects have a cloud icon and other a sun ?
Lead : because there were cloud outside when build finished.

Today we still laugh about it.

I didn't redeem my stressball because I felt bad for dfox and trogus having to pay extra for shipping. Is there any way to redeem my stressball while still paying shipping? ❤ (I wanna order some other stuff too)

!rant
Anyone work at a place where you think you could leave $20 on your desk, go on vacation, and it would still be there?

Update:

I disabled every google app on my phone, installed duckduckgo and apptoide an am routing everything through tor... Yay.

are there any hidden googlemapps that still tryna get my data?

Next step : block any google services. How to do that?

Look at the image first, please.

Me: "What's that?"
Closed devRantron.
"Hmm, still there."
Closed browser.
"Nope, that wasn't it neither."
Closed everything that is somehow connected to the internet: FTP client, SSH connections, even the VM.
"There's still something! What is it?!"
Bashed my head against the wall.
"I am listening to music right now... music from the NAS..."

Rate my sticker xD

Hope there is still a place for devrant sticker. Lol if I get one

Never ever open a computer while breathing...
I got a ticket to fix a computer from the production line that was turning itself off...
When I opened it, a dark dust from hell came right into my lungs... There were more dust in there than I've ever seen in my entire life... Combined...

I'm still sneezing 3 hours later, and a few black spots keep coming out with everything else...

There are still old youtube comments from my younger self to be found on youtube. Delete every evidence!

Pulled an all-nighter
Was too busy ans haven't had any time to eat anything next whole day.
35.5 hour sleep deprived, cameback home with takeouts

Let's pull the repo before i start eating.
Open the laptop and connect the charger while laying on bed.
*fell asleep and woke up 9 hours with laptop still running*

The worst part is that the problem i was trying to solve is still there.

When the new keyboard you ordered arrives at work (it's for at home) and your team lead remarks 'that is a big dildo you got there'. I did fire back by asking him if he was jealous which led to sudden silence. Still disappointed in him, we do rib each other all the time but this feels sexist and inappropriate. I'm used to it and laugh it off but I'd still expected better of him.

Well im slowly getting there, but i still dont understand why does my wife want me to make her cam...

A teacher where I used to study, thinks that there's teo types of Java:
Java NetBeans, and Java Eclipse.
Sime othe people there think that Java works only on Eclipse.
Some graduate students still use the marquee HTML tag, and encourage each other to use it.

"Why is the production database empty?"

Obviously, we had backups, but using the situation to make my employer shit his pants were funny. And yes, I'm still there

- Why isn't this script working
- Review Error Log
"Incorrect Syntax: line 122"
- There is no line 122
**3 Hours Pass
- Damn had an old broken version of the script still running in the background 😐🔫

There are 2 kinds of programmers.

people who searches Google and CAN find the solution.

people who searches Google and still CANNOT find the solution.

I still hoping there will be parent selector in CSS...

What idiot decided to translate the Excel-formulas?! It's impossible to follow an example you find online or to get help on a complex formula without translating it to English first! (Yes, I know there are online translators out there, but still!)

!dev

When devRant crashes on my Windows Phone due to scrolling too many rants and still there were more left to scroll. I suppose a higher power is giving me a sign to head to sleep!

So, I have this little USB Stick with a Kali Linux Partition on it which I use for school. (I boot up from the USB instead of the installed windows, so I have all my personal data everywhere I go)
But somehow I forgot the USB in class last week... 😭
Today I'll ask the teacher if he found anything. Wish me luck!

- Insert alt text here (but don't remove the placeholder).

There are still companies using coldfusion.

"All test passed"

But the bug is still there

Even as a developer, there is still a brief number when I look at an app's version, see something like 1.9, and think, "Ooh! Version 2 must be coming soon!"

I'm not particularly proud.

The punishment is still there, just different intensity.😂😂😂😂😂

When you still own a Lumia and realize how useless it's with all the non official apps and crappy optimization. But the you there is DevRant
+ New, clean and modern UI
+ Optimization
+ Fast
Thanks you to your team to bring such an amazing master piece to here

The intense moment when there are thousands of people eager to use a new website you developed and there are still bugs and rough edges but the launch time is in 2hrs.
Needless to say I'm pretty nervous.

I was testing database migration and there was some issues which I couldn't fix them. So I drop the table just to test if the issues are still there.
"Why nothing have been changed?" After some minutes I realize it was production database which I had dropped 😓

Ah, the old locked up non-gui thread. Bastard gets me every time. My monkey brain says "Button still work, so no infinite loop". Oh, but there DO be infinite loop.

I don't get why nowadays people still buy smartphones with battery capacity between 2500mAh and 3500mAh meanwhile there are cheap enough smartphones with fricking 5000mAh(or more)!

Typing from 3 day averagely lasting smartphone, with my use.

Corporate jobs... where you spend most of the time doing stupid work because of idiots in the team.

There was a script to automate some manual task. However that script had a bug. The script was then updated.

Still there is some idiot out there in the wild who runs the old script now and then and causes issues.

We have written another script to counter the effect of that buggy script! 🤦‍♀️

New stickers arrived, thanks devRant ! There is still space for one, two or maybe three more ...

3 years later and there are still members from back then, that's so cool :)

How are there in 2019 still people thinking ip bans are a good/working way to ban people of of game servers/websites?

When the devs "fix" the unit tests by modifying the test cases so they pass.... Bugs are still there, but our deployment succeeds now. Oh federation....

There is an error in almost every file, and yet this seems to work

On other days there is not even a single error and still it cracks.

Android Studio, you need to watch your drinking habits -_-

I spent the entire freaking day on one spec — one! — and I still haven’t gotten it to pass. Or fail. It’s still just breaking. Even the simple crap is breaking, so getting the actual complicated things I need it to do working? Bloody pipe dream (whatever that means).

Just. Goddamn this system is complicated and poorly designed.

And no, before you ask, of course there is no documentation.

I want my day back. 😡

I wonder how many systems there are out there that can still be tripped by this ' OR 1=1 --

If you're riding ahead of the herd. Look back once in a while to make sure it's still there.

Are there any developers here who still use jQuery rather than these new big ass JS frameworks. Recently I started with Angular 2 for an internship but I really miss jQuery.🤔

When you want to wake up early in the morning but you accidently open devrant before going to bed and there goes your 2 hours without noticing what time it is and still you can't get enough of it. #devrantaddiction

“In 15 years, do you see X still being there? No? Then fuck it” - my manager on how to handle “important” decisions

Boss wants me to become lead developer on a huge project; I still consider myself Junior and feel like there is still more for me to learn before I can even accept something like this. The company is amazing and I would love to step into this role but I fear that I will only disappoint.

What would you do? If I should take it; could you recommend resources that would help me level up?

I hate knowing that there are ton of ways doing something but cant just figure it out which is the best and then having to come back and change it. I know it is part of learning and becoming experienced but still...

I still wonder why people go to programming classes thinking a dev is paid a lot. Not all devs are paid a lot and it takes passion and hard work to be a good dev. Don't just go there for the money. You'll regret wasting your life.

Got internship opportunity. It's just an internship, but still it feels exciting and surreal for me. It feels weird because there is not really anything exciting about salary.

I guess it's the "my first job opportunity" butterfly.

My new phone - the Motorola C Plus - has insane battery life.
Took it off charge Monday 07:30am with 100% battery.
It's now Thursday 11:00pm and it still has 10% battery.
You're looking at 90 hours Standby right there. Damm, Motorola.
I put it on Airplane mode when I sleep and have the screen brightness turned down, but still.
That's impressive.

Guys, check your tags before posting on weekly rants. There are a few of you still posting under previous week's tag. The question and the answer don't match. 😛

Also, I think I just scared someone off because I mentioned the wrong tag. 😬

Why in the world are there still flash exploits occurring in 2018, these should have stopped occurring 10 years ago

PM's? Like private messages? No idea, still haven't figured it out. There's still idiots from technical chats sliding in, often with a question that belongs in the very same chat they came from. My Telegram name has now literally "(No PM!)" in it, and a bio that says in all caps "DON'T FUCKING PM ME", yet there are STILL people that don't get it. September never ended, did it?

... Oh. Project managers.

C/C++ debugging with VSCode sucks ass.

How do I even debug stuff in forks while still debug my threads?
And yeah please just kill my program away, it's not like there happens some necessary housekeeping at exit or SIGINT. FML.

Finding motivation to work on stuff i dont like, because its sometimes part of the package.
I'm still having problems with that, but its getting there!

There are indie devs which still builds games for the NES or the first GameBoy... and then we have Apple which goes to extra lenghts to ensure which nobody can develop, publish or install new apps on devices which are too old for the newer iOS versions.

I'm the only one who after saying "nah, come on, I will backup it tomorrow, what could happen?", spends the day after by reinstalling Windows (after an awesome crash) and praying that the project he was working on for months is still there?

If Microsoft acquires GitHub, it will be far from the end of git. Even if it is an EEE play, there are still many FOSS variants that will enable the use of git without having to deal with Microsoft's toxic business model.

I still have my gitlab install, and I will continue to use it.

still unemployed,

closing peanut freelance contracts here and there,

totally burnt out.

God save my soul.

Some many nice and new programming languages out there and even some older ones still get updated but at my university we are supposed to use the ANCIENT AND ANNOYING ANSI C (C89)??! Why...

It amazes me, that in 2022 there are still Youtubers making Videos saying MD5 is encryption.

There are at least 3 posters in the bathrooms at the office saying please put the toilet seat down before you leave, yet people still can't do that

I can't believe it, people are still using dreamweaver, and they doing so because they actually don't know that there are better options. How are you a web dev and using dreamweaver out of ignorance...

That feeling when you have 2 linux distros installed on your pc but you still didn't abondon windows totally yet, its like an awkward feeling toward your ex while you are enjoying your new life but you now deep down that there is now going back.

when you're sure something you've just changed should have fixed the issue, you run the code and the issue is still there, after half an hour debugging you realize you didn't "save" the file

Wondering what the hell is Windows doing when there is no processes yet still lags on keyboard input.

suggest some free/ paid dev stickers to go on my lappy there is still a lot of space 😂😝

"there is no WiFi in hell"

Still wondering why this sentence came to mind...

“Don’t forget to go home”
A solution architect when he looked into my team room at 6:30 and saw me still sitting there working.

First world problems - approaching 50k rep on Stackoverflow (well, currently on 46k.) Would quite like to get to 50k. But my days of enjoying procrastinating on there are long gone.

Sadly, so are most of the good questions it seems.

Anyone else still answer random questions on there for fun? Or has everyone else pretty much given up with it too?

So I've been really Ill the past few days, like litterly been in bed for two days, popping pills like there going out of fashion. I contact work and get the typical "get well soon" so I get a message today asking how I'm doing (still Ill), I said I'll be back Monday and ask if anything is urgent that needs to be done first thing. So I get a list:

Project A: Deadline Monday
Project B: final review Tuesday
Project C: Still waiting on feedback

So I ask any chance we can extend the deadlines by a day or so I have enough time to catch up even though I'm going to have to rush it as I've been off.

Answer.. nope there non negotiable.. oh

So they want basically three days work done in one day, given the fact I still might not be 100%. Jesus Christ 😂

Quick Edit, I wasn't told there were deadlines.

Only got 2h of sleep instead of my usual 5h. I'm a walking corpse and there are still 7h left until I can go home 😴

Stupid, calming water-flow sounds are going to bring me down

I like when the changelog in PlayStore's apps says "Fixed errors and performance improvement" and the main errors are still there and the performance is worse.
:)

When you realize that the solution for a bug in your code is putting
if (somecondition)
but then you put
if (!somecondition) by mistake and try to figure out why is the bug still there :-(

You know what the worst type of screwups are? Those that have already happened but you don't know about yet.

There you are, coasting along, thinking everything's OK, blissfully unaware that you're fucked. And no matter what you do, you're still fucked.

It's unbelievable how many senior software engineers there are with 2-3 years experience within the industry... damn boy, you just became intermediate, if you're still not a junior

So what say guys, switch to linux forever, and bye bye windows?.

Or is there anything i should know before i do this?.
Things i cannot do in linux?

Googled a lot, still confused.Help?
(Using Arch, seems all fine)

Don't you fucking love it when there are no errors, and still, something doesn't work. It's so frustrating. I've been debugging this shit for like 2 days. UGH!

I still don’t understand git completely ,sometimes the error messages are so hard to understand I just make a new repository and push all my new updates there using GitHub desktop.

Trying to explain to people why 6GB of RAM on a phone is overkill.

Seriously, you do know your phone can only do one thing at a time right?

And Android still shuts down the app after certain amount of time even if there is enough RAM.

Is there such thing as enough screens?

Just got a new one, which is like twice the size of my older 2nd screen and Im still pulling things to my laptop screen...

Once upon a time there lived an old man who was waiting for his AJAX response, some say he is still waiting to this day.

Had my first evaluation session today, where people use my software for an hour and see if they like it. Mixed feelings.

For one thing there are indeed bugs here and there, but a lot of the things that people say are missing are there! They just didn't see it.

In times look this I see I still need to do better painfully clear.

I FUCKING HATE JAVA
Wee need to do a schoolproject with JavaFX and TableViews. The editing of the tables works grate and is also displayed after commiting. But wen i take the data from the TableViews there is still the old one...

My first job was in a team of 20 ppl. They are super friendly and skillful. I still work there.

The most annoying thing about being an IT professional...

Microsoft never calls me to tell me there is a problem with my computer. WTF!

I use Linux, but still, I totally miss all the fun I would have with that wanker...

After moving desks, ending up next to your manager.

The manager is there when you arrive at work, and is still there when you leave. He never seems to leave his desk, not even for lunch, except for the occasional meeting.

We never see him do anything other than work, but sometimes he joins in on personal conversations with other colleagues, which usually ends the conversation rather quickly.

The train stopped 50m before the stop because there was another train there. We stood still for 35 minutes. And it wasn't like I could sleep either, since I didn't want to miss my stop. Fucking bullshit.

My first django website going into dev environment. (Management portal for company's license management)
I know there will be a river of bugs but, still I'm happy.
Also, this was the first assignment on my first job.

*So I have a function where the date is formatted as 20180317 and get returned if I pass a date to it.*
Junior Dev: I'm selecting March as a month but it's showing 20180217 and not 20180317, what should I do?
Me: I've written function for formatting date just go there and there will be date.getMonth() just add 1 to it by doing +1.
Junior Dev: It's still not working!!!.
So I went there and checked what she did, and she did this .....
date.getMonth(+1);

Just lost hours of work because the winforms designer decided to send half my elements to (11, -8000) and resize others to (0,0). No matter what I did, there was no moving them back. And every change I made was reverted by some unknown mechanism.

Thankfully, I still have the user controls I built. But I still have to rewire 3k lines worth of form events.

Why do people not use search engines?
Like there exist so many good search engines and you still ask a question that can be answered by searching 2 minutes on the internet???

You could save yourself and others so much fucking time!!!

Idk despite whatever my resume may suggest, I think I'm still a Junior. Dunno if that'd ever change tbh. I mean, that's the downside of "cutting edge tech", right?

I don't have any advice.
Everything important has already been said by somebody out there.

WU: Is there anyway we can help u?

Customer: I doubt it, but thank you for using WU.

I feel him on this one, I'm still getting errors when trying to send money.

Instagram trying to trademark the word 'gram', like is that shit even possible? Trademark a standardized unit? (except for the imperials out there of course but still, its a standard) its like someone trying to trademark the word year or something, bullcrappo

Guys, What is the future of Kotlin? Is it a dead end? I mean many companies still use Java and google also released Dart for cross platform app development in previous years. Is there any point in learning Kotlin?

I have hundreds of Udemy courses I'm enrolled to. I hoarded them when they offered free coupons a few years ago. I realized most of them are trash, sharing wrong information with their thick accents. There is no option to unenroll, just archive. It feels dirty knowing they are still there, like ghosts hiding behind the curtains. Hoarding is a disease. I need to get rid of the noise. There is so much noise in today's world. Send help.

It's awesome when one of your favorite apps removes one of your most used features!

Edit: Jk the feature's still there, just buried in a menu making it almost not worth the effort to use the feature.

Fuck you Spotify 🖕🏻

Are there any others that watch TV shows while working/coding (while still being productive)? I just finished watching The Office on one of my monitors and have finished all my tasks before any deadlines

School made me a stickler for the Linux kernel coding conventions in regards to the C language. And even though I shouldn't feel bothered by reading other coding styles.....i still get annoyed.

I try not to get irked cuz I find it a small thing to get annoyed at.... but i still do.....bad.

And even then i dislike how there is not padding inside of funcion parametes

void
fu(int here, int there) {}

Should be

void
fu( int here, int there ) {}

That space man...its needed.

Man this is such a small thing to be annoyed at..

"Imposter Syndrome" - We are living in the 21st century! Here in Germany there are 124.000 free jobs. And even if you are the last creep out of the basement, you are still better than nothing! :D

With these motivating words I release you into the day!

Mobile phone.
With our without internet it is still one of the biggest distractions I have. I keep checking it even though there is nothing.

Fun fact: In 2020, there are still companies out there with full-blown web apps using CGI (yeah, remember? /cgi-bin?).

Is there anyone who still categorize Linux distros as Windows version?? If you didn't see guys like this,I see them a lot!

I'm still pretty new to elixir and functional programming. There have been numerous cases where I accidentally recreated functions such as Enumerable.map 😅

That emotional rollercoaster when you refactor a huge mess and finally there are no more compile errors in it. But there are still endless broken tests to fix :(

People who still use vi in 2021
why stop there why not go fuck yourself in binary editor

To any of you CSS pros out there, you are worth your weight in gold. I'm a Senior Frontend dev and still struggle with it.

Is there anyone who used to Play bit Games like BM, Alladin, Prince of Persia (The Old One), Mario, etc... And still would love to play those versions only, fuck the good graphics, those were awesome games

Oh, god...why? (my reaction reading my code from 5 years ago, when I got my first programming job)

I still work there and I love it. I learned a lot in these years...

Is the office dead in the dev world? Does everyone prefer to work remote from home, coffee shops or Coworking spaces? Or is there still value in working as a team irl, but modern office culture is killing it?

So there are a few bugs with IDEA and qwertz keyboards, namely there are combos on @ { < keys (you know, not that i would use those in java). After setting it to qwerty, manually deleting every shortcut and restarting the whole damn universe, still nothing. Very useful, 10/10, would use again.

Except not.

It's incredible how many sites don't check / handle localStorage permissions.. they usually just completely break.

That is they use a div to block the view despite the page usually still working ..

There literally is an API to check for permissions..

Server behaved weird and I couldn't find out why. Nothing on the logs.

As a personal side project, I've translated the whole project to Scala. Boom! FileNotFoundException. There was an incorrect path somewhere.

I still don't know why Java did not throw.

There's a big emphasis in our community on long nights and working all hours. Don't feel like less of a developer; if you need sleep go to sleep.

Take a shower, eat something, take care of yourself. Your bugs will still be there.

Apparently there is still moderation on here, yesterday someone got doxxed (pls no extra info in the comments) and the guy actually got banned. Thanks @dfox

Why are there people that still don't use the metric system? It is so stupid and cost so much.
We formally adopted the metric system about 150 years ago. Why are systems that where developed 100 years later still based on stupid units that are based human body parts that differ between each person?

Is there any reason why people still use Internet Explorer

Why the fk is there still no dark theme for google calender? Mostly for phones. This shit is lame google. Even freaking outlook has a dark theme by now!

any of you guys listen to programming-related podcasts? 🎧
I recently came across "Syntax", a podcast on web development. They cover pretty basic stuff but I still find it interesting.
Would love to know if there are any other podcasts on programmin 🙂

When something finally works as expected but it still looks like there is a bug.

RIP YouTube Vanced. It was great while it lasted. Luckily we don't need to go back to the official app on mobile, there are still alternatives that don't suck nearly as much.

I'm pulling an all-nighter. And I'm still nowhere close to being done for desktop. But mobile is pretty much there. Mind you, I have work in 6 hours and counting

It's amazing that SocialBlade is still not mobile responsive...
Are there even any developers working there?
Not anyone who tells them to make the site responsive?
Can someone explain?

Today was a real monday... Untill the lunch break nothing worked even the slightest bit, there was a lot of swearing in the office, afterwards it got better but still wasn't very productive.
So, how was your day?

For whatever reason my Nvidia card is not showing my desktop after a reinstall. I've installed the drivers, ran the xconfig script, and even manually gone in there and edited things. It still won't boot.

This is why the state of Linux needs to get better.

If there was no StackOverflow, would you still call yourself a programmer?

It used to be one of the best paying professions, so there is plenty of people who aren't meant to be software developers, but they tried to get money and now suck at it.
Now that standard of living increased by a lot there are other specialists that do not require this much education or talent (but still you need to be decent) and pay comparably or even more, because there is just so much demand for them if they are high quality (people wait for months). Those are mostly people who build, finish or otherwise improve houses and cars. Even unqualified labor got decent pay now, tho still about 1/3 of what average dev will make.

The fact that there are still new websites made with wordpress proves that as a species we are a case of hopeless masochists.

Oh I'm tired of carrying chargers with me. I wish there was something like a wireless distance charger... Kinda like how a WiFi Hotspot can provide wireless connectivity to all devices in the range, I wish there was a Charging Hotspot.

I know this is not exactly dev related but more of physics and engineering, still, anyone has any idea about something like this? Do you think this is feasible?

I usually like PHP, because it is easy to use, but FUCK! Can you just let me free the fucking memory by myself? Setting variable to null doesn't work, unset doesn't work either. I am still getting fucking memory exhausted error.
There is literally no data stored anywhere, because I unset every fucking thing.
gc_collect_cycles() doesn't work either, probably because this crap thinks there is a reference for this variable somewhere.

wait,
if there are 3.4 Billions FaceBook fake users, that means than there are also at least 3.4 Billions fake email accounts around. Jeez.

And the spam traffic estimates are at 260Billions email per day or 260B/3.4B=76 emails sent by each fake email accounts per day. Much less as probably fake email accounts are more.

So, only 76 spam emails sent per account per day. I think there is still room for a big improvement

Friend asked me this:
"So if PHP is that bad, why there are still so many job offers for PHP devs?"

Fucking dust, why there is still no fucking nanotechnology that stop dust for sticking to the furniture.

Getting into the third hour of trying to run an android studio emulator on ryzen.

Significant progress is made though, now instead of not working and giving 9 errors, its still not working, but at least there are no more errors being reported...

I ran rm -rf node_modules but the node_modules folder is still there, now I'm living in fear

Why are we still here? Just to suffer? Every night, I can feel my hard drive… and my RAM… even my keyboard. The IDE I’ve lost… the consumers I’ve lost… won’t stop hurting… It’s like they’re all still there. You feel it, too, don’t you?

Shutting down Windows instead of putting it into sleep should not save state. It did, in my case.

I had Chrome opened before shutting down. It's still there.

This is very nice fail-safe method, I must say.

Thunderbird frequently shows the spinning beachball on my Mac (OS X Lion, late 2006, 3GB RAM (max), SSD)

Is there a mail client that's current (still being patched), runs on Lion and does not suck?

I remember there being someone on here who documented their progress on building their own sex robot with a bunch of Arduinos or something.

Who was that again? Are they still here?

Stupid UX on Apple app store connect website!
*Enters email
*Enters password
*wrong password, password field still focused
*starts typing: email field focused and all content is written there now .....

Why?

Off all the websites out there, I think GitHub should know the importance of having a dark theme for the site!

It's 1 am and the night is still fresh..

I am getting really close to actually FINISHING the avatar editor, this took way less than I anticipated but there are still many bugs in that thing that I haven’t discovered yet and that I have already discovered.

Still remember the first time I started writing style sheets, the biggest confusion was why do they use an id where we can always use a class.

Now I know why. Only you are your identity, but there may be many people of the same class. :)

So today in school I decided on my career choice. So I've decided on becoming a data scientist because I can still use my programming and I very much do like looking at data and researching things as well as program obviously :) so if there are any data scientists or data miners out there do you have advice?

Any Xamarin devs here? I wanna learn Xamarin but couldn't find any good books or tutorials. Any suggestions? And are there any special requirements to learn Xamarin other than C#?

P.S. I'm learning UWP development now. And you can still call me a noob.

Are there any working developers in Atlanta Georgia or surrounding areas, that knows if their company or organization is hiring. I am an entry level developer that is still in school and would like to get my foot in the door before I graduate.

Is anyone out there using Mercurial in a commercial environment still? I always preferred Mercurial over Git back in the day but I find it hard to understand why anyone would still be using it other than out of stubbornness.

Whoo!! Client's satisfied with recent launch of product!! Still has little bugs to fix here are there, but general feedback was positive, stating it's "much smoother"

I've said this before, but i always get the spot I'm hoping for. there was one time i got rejected though.
i met a colleague during the interview process, and really thought he was getting that spot, he was much more qualified than the other participants. there was about another 4, out of which 3 still looked like good competition. the 4th one got there late, couldn't form a coherent sentence to save his life and had no job experience.

guess who they picked :v

This year, 28 employees left my company or got fired. Currently, there are 28 still employed. In the start of the year, around 35 people were employed.

That's just impressive

Woah there, Facebook. We've not even been on the first date yet.

Well, you've been taking my info for a while now, so technically we're married but still.

Creeeeepy.

Once upon a time, there was a cup of coffee aimlessly walking around the open fields of Alabama. He then realized he was not from Alabama and joined with his father the Sun.

That, my friends, is the story of the epic adventures of a sheep named Bob.

Basically, Stephen said unto me: "let there not be sheep", yet there still was.

The wonders of the modern world--the wonders!

I really do like chocolate.

Is there any rant/post that is atleast a week old but still got 0 ++ ?
That is neither any upvote nor any downvote.
P.S. Don't take it up as a challenge for this one.

First dev job was unified communication and call center software. Over 4 years later, still there today.

For all the iOS Users out there, stick to 10.3.3 (Still a small window to download and verify). Cool gifts are coming out.

I'm binge watching Person of Interest right now and I would like to know the community feels about it.

I feel that it is still futuristic and we aren't there yet. What do you think?

While most of the developers like to work on an IDE with dark theme, I still prefer my code to be on a white background.
Am I the only one with this odd taste or are there any other fellow devs with similar interests 🤔

In an interview they said that they like you but there are still other applicants so they have no answer to it yet and told you that you should wait for 2 to 3 weeks upon following up.. the next day you check the companies website and they have taken down the job posting.. should you still hope or should you move on..???

We at the worst case, no impact! People still go to work normally like there is nothing going on.

Gotta love it when you wake up, with the deadline still ringing in your head, and your Intellisense breaks from one day to another, all because there was an update. Gosh how I love modern WebDevelopment

I often hate about SOF because people downvoting for no reason or giving bullshit advice when they don't know shit. I must admit however sometimes it really helps and you can see that there are still competent people around, willing to help and explain.

Wtf, there exists vim on windows :o, even tho I don't use it that much, except when on Linux servers, but still it's a nice addition

There is a pretty popular job search site I have used for quite some time. I wanted to close my account due to spam phone calls and emails. The website has no ui for closing your account. I fly into a fit of rage and change my email address to 20 random characters @gmail.com. Now I still have an account there but can't log in. Still getting the spam.

Pair programming. I noticed my productivity and motivation skyrocketed when I found about VS LiveShare, so now I share all of my code sessions. even if nobody's there, i still work more because I like showing my progress to others.

Has there been any luck in implement the “blocking” feature devRant?

Is the ability to block specific users from commenting on your posts still in the development pipeline?

Lets hope there are comanies willing to give half worktime paid internships/jobs for the summer. The vacations might end up being a bit costly. I could go for full worktime, but summer is a time to enjoy, while I still can.

I expected to need the better part of an hour for a feature.
Here I am, two days later, still trying to figure out a solution. Turns out, there is a lot more complexity to it than I anticipated.

!rant

I get it there is some adaptation curve. If I still uncomfortable with the new devrant theme by the end of the week I'll make an extension to bring the old version back.

I miss when the world still seemed to function off some reasonable system and there seemed like there was always something or someone you could count on
