Me: Hello, how can i help you?
User: The system is not working
Me: It's because there is not electricity
User: Oh, thanks
10 seconds later
Me: Hello, how...
User: Hi, it's me again, i checked in the building and there is light in the hallway
Me: It's the emergency lights
User: Oh, thanks5 -
Hope it's not a repost but this is brilliant... although putting it up in my office wouldnt change anything. Password123 was there before me and it'll be there after me.

In all honesty, if there was a course on giving variables good, informative and not completely stupid names... I would take it.

Why not have a custom (500 line) JSON mapper... you know... fuck those auto mapping libraries out there...

My father just told me that I'm not a good programmer, because there are kids out there, who are younger than me and know more programming languages.
Besides the fact that the number of programming languages one knows has nothing to do with programming skills, I just said: "I wanna see that kid.", because I already knew his answer.
"Well, I never said there are many of these kids."

It displays a -1 whenever it is not working. There is no basement.
Reminds me of some configuration files.

Happy international cat day, everybody!
And a nice day to every sysadmin out there, hopefully not too catty.

So, continuing with the story, I decided to quit today.
I'm not even a month there, and I'm running out of there in flames.
I've got 2 panic attacks in one week, I'm not sacrificing my mental health for some idiot's scam.6 -
STUPID SHIT ASS EMAIL POLICIES NOT ALLOWING ME TO SEND CERTAIN FILE TYPES TO A SUPPORT MEMBER WHEN THERE ARE FUCKING PROBLEMS WITH THE PRODUCTION SITE. THE GUY THAT SET UP THOSE POLICIES CAN ROLL THEM UP AND STICK THEM IN HIS ASS.
There that's better...10 -
Are there other handy DDG in-Apps like this one (which i did not know existed before i found it by chance)

Laziest thing!!!??? You better ask me when I was not lazy. Framework here framework there, library here library there.

A: There is not even a single forum for cyber security. Let's build one.
Me: Are you sure that there is not even a single forum?
A: Yes, I'm a cyber security expert. I have 5 years of experience in this field.
Me: **walks out quitely**1 -
When I had sex in the office and my boss nearly walked in thank god for locked doors
Not techy but there you go...14 -
The whole devteam entering the meeting sitting there for a few minutes realizing the one who placed the meeting was not there. With questionmarks almost painted to our forheads we silently agreed on leaving and going back to what we did before the meeting.

Mac: you have to reboot for updates
Me: ok
Mac: ... ... (It didn't start anymore)
Work project was there and I did not push :(12 -
How does the new MacBook pro outsell Microsoft surface and dell XPS 😖 are there so many "sheep" out there who buy a 1300+ machine with 2 (max 4 ports) not including the 17 dongles you'll need?
Sorry if I offended anyone but I just think the new MBP is ridiculous and is definitely not "Pro"16 -
Linus won't call out dipshitprogrammers? That's not good. There are a lot of dipsshit programmers out there. :/

I took a civil service exam October last year, the list of passers where posted in the government website last December. My name wasn't on the list. I was heart broken. :'(
I wasn't able to apply for the job I wanted. I thought that I'm so stupid I can't even pass an exam.
I was depressed for almost a month.
Then yesterday, a friend of mine was searching google since I refuse to tell her my middle name.
Suddenly she exclaimed, wow! you're a civil service exam passer!
I was shocked beyond belief!
I checked the website, my name is still not there. HAHA. (deep inside it hurts)
I cursed my friend for trolling me but she swear that it's true. She sent me the link and BOOM! my name is on the list of APRIL passers!
WHAT THE HECK???
i just verified through phone that I actually passed and that it was an error on their website that included me on the wrong list. I don't know whether to be angry or pleased. lol XD8 -
Most painful dev learning experience?
Learned that no matter hard you work, no matter how big the dragon you slain/slew, there are individuals out there waiting to tear you down. Not immediately, certainly not in front of you, and capable of going to extremes just to make themselves feel/look better.

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...11 -
Now I am afraid to open Microsoft Word, because there is always someone asking me "Why not use LaTeX?".14

You were hired, not adopted.
The company is not your family.
The office is not your home.
And your boss is not your friend.
You owe nothing there beyond what you are being paid for.5 -
STOP TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF WHEN YOU LEAVE THE OFFICE TOILET!!!!
For fuck's sake, do not turn the lights off if you're not sure if someone is in there or not. Don't be a moron.17 -

Director: What’s the next step on <thing>?
Manager: There is no next step because *manager explains*.
Director: How can not there be a next step?
Manager: *explains the same thing again, reading from a mail chain Director is also a part of*
Director: Okay, so net-net there is no next step.
Beautiful conclusion mf.1 -
It says "There was no battery found."
This laptop was not connected to a power adapter, but Windows also said that there is no battery. Did I missed the update where Microsoft implemented magic wireless energy?

Some company invited me for coding challenge. Tbh, I can't be arsed. Why can't they look into my fucking git? There is way more info there about how I actually work, so why the fuck not look at what I have done than their fucking exam project?
Urghhhhhhh23 -
Tomorrow's my last day.
There is no exit interview scheduled. I'm not surprised, there hasn't been any 1-on-1's in about 2 years, and any feedback or complaints are never addressed.
Just need to bite my tongue for one more day.1 -
Just a heads up - there was a problem with the calculation of the "top" tab day, week and month calculations the last couple of days so there might have been some rants not showing up.
It has been fixed and everything has been recalculated now. -
Had no internet for hours.
Called the support.
"We will fix it!" they said and they actually did. So maybe there are competent people working there as well???
No. Of course not.
Two hours later I receive a call from them. "It was not our fault. There was an update so we had to plug the cables back into the right ports."
Software update
Physical connections

Dropped by my old uni to visit some friends. Met an old classmate who wanted to ask me something about his Python code.
"Oh, no", I thought to myself. "I haven't touched Python in so long, I don't know if I can help, and even then I only knew how to do menial tasks in it!", thinking how to save face and my image of "programmer dropout".
5 minutes later I realized he was mistaking a dictionary for a JSON string, AND was trying to access a dictionary in a list... in a dictionary.
I quietly fixed his print statement which incited an excitement "oh wow, it works!" and quietly returned his laptop. Fun day. -

Why in the goddamn fucking world do I not fucking commit the fucking code every time there is a motherfucking major change10

don't know if it's fake or not. I don't use twitter, but it looks like something that would happen there

The JavaScript everywhere trend.
Sure it's possible and the language develops at a fast pace since ES6 but JS like any other language just is not suited for everything. I think JS will stay in server side automation and as scripting language for customisation but not how it is abused now in electron or even node.js.
There will be better solutions if they are not already there.10 -
I don't get it why there are so many people out, that think testing stupid model classes with getters and setter is needed.
Dude. There is no logic in this class ... it's pure data that gets not modified there (well except if you call the setter)
I've wasted way too much time writting useless unit test because some ppl want to masturbate on 100% code coverage 🤦🏻♂️12 -
Speaking of work stations - once upon a time there were not many screens on my desk.. and it was the best ;)

Basically all those graphical applications for developing apps and programs.
Take fucking Thunkable for example.
Or the unholy abomination that is scratch.
Contradictory to the education system, I believe that it absolutely does not prepare students for programming.
Like "ummm puzzle goes there uuhh that goes there ajdjsudheirnrifksmci"5 -
Not really a bug so much as ridiculously poor practice, about 15 years ago I was working for a car park company on their booking engine. In the sql server dB, there was a table called CreditCard, easy to guess what was in there!1
-
Not goals. More like dream...
... To get into that one uni that I actually want for phd.
I have gotten so spoiled playing with robots and neural networks, that I can't even imagine falling that badly from grace to go back to... web development. Like I'm not looking down on it, it's just that I found my passion and there is not enough jobs available out there for me without going through phd or high-end research.
... And I honestly don't have a backup plan. There are choices, but I don't like any of them. So here goes hoping they accept me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯5 -
- Procrastinate 1 work day
- Try to crunch 2 work days into one
- Feel frustrated because there is not enough time
- Repeat2 -
The new Gmail shows how redesign should not be done. Everywhere white, bright colors, no contrasts. Here rounding is smaller, there bigger, there is shadow, here not. Seriously, what I saw a few months ago at the announcements looked much better than what I see now. It's good that I'm using a desktop client, because I think I'd switch completely to Outlook.

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 -_-

Today I celebrate nice round birthday 100000b. There will not be another one like this for 32 years.8

And fuck whomever decided not to follow programming convention and put that exclamation mark there, may they burn in hell.6 -
There is a junior who worked at 12am. I said to him not to overwork if he has lots of todo's. Agree?14

This planet is lame. Apparently there is a company called “Microsoft” that is not micro by any means, and it even sells hardware. Unacceptable.5

Found this gem today (and there is not anything else defined as "any") WTF are you kidding me? Some people should not be allowed to program
2 -
Sooo there is a website out there that teaches you how to code and rewards you by undressing a girl after you complete each task successfully.
Not going to endorse them here but I have really really mixed feelings about that.
Opinions?11 -
Client: Please add feature x in "here"
Me: Adds feature x in "here"
Fast forward to QA
QA: Test for feature x failed. Feature was added in "here" but is not in "there"
Me: There was no request to add x in "there"
Client: Feature x was already supposed to be in "there", you might have removed it.
Me: *Checks file where feature would be added.
* Git blame show no changes since received we the project (one major release back)
Lying cunt. I'm sick of your literally incomprehensible tasks giving government fucks, speak human language not overhead driven bureaucracy-jargon3 -
There are 2 types of bosses:
Type 1: Who think you are avoiding work
Type 2: Who are not your bosses -
Sometimes I just HATE Google.
No, this is NOT because they keep all your data, are evil and all the usual things. I just think they suck, yes there are super cool things and a lot of things are just the best in the field but I just feel like we could do better, there are so many smart people out there I just do not understand why everything is taking so much time.
PS. Just deleted all my browsing histroy accidentally because I didn't read the small print - in the picture attatched.

When you do some researchs on the net, you may not find all the answers, but there are definitely a lot of questions..
-
I try to exercise a lot of patience when training other devs. Hell, I have always asked stupid questions and will continue to do so. But yesterday I almost reached my breaking point when the guy I was training (who is not young nor entry level) asked me where the CSS files were for a static HTML page. I had to awkwardly say, "they're located at the path being linked to in the head" 😣4

There is nothing quite so arousing, than getting your own VPS and hosting your applications*

Today a tester returned my task because “placeholder should say Bruse Wayne not John Doe”.
Yes, Bruse, not Bruce.
Too bad I’m leaving John Doe there and close it anyways5 -
there is a dev in our company who actually does this:
if()
{

and not this:
if(){

This is unreal.21 -
I can't beleive i could not find a single sane laptop without those shitty "chiclet" keyboards. It's already beyond trend.
somebody save me!!! Isn't there really one single non-chiclet laptop out there in the great cosmos?16 -
Thought;
Why is there not much support behind the open and free CA "CACert" that has been around much longer then Let's Encrypt?9 -
Why is it so hard to find internships in india? !!
Aaaaaaaarg
If you're not from india, is it hard to find some there too?5 -
Well... this is to demonstrate that GPT is not smart as most of people think. There is no coalescing operator in python

I realised, that Git now has the same problem as Windows:
Its widespread because its widespread.
There are, especially for smaller projects, few reasons to actually use Git instead any other VCS.
Look at the landscape of free repo hosting.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of free Git hosters.
A handful of free Mercurial hosters,
Launchpad for Bazaar and I didn't even find a free SVN hoster.
Everyone uses Git, because there are Services for it, and there are Services for it, because everyone uses it.5 -
That's an amazing webapp layout. How come I'm not surprised to see "Microsoft" in there...
P.S. Anyone else going to DevTernity? :)

There isn't a pale enough skin tone to match mine inside the builder. I mean... THERE IS NOT A PALE ENOUGH SKIN TONE INSIDE THE BUILDER TO MATCH MINE! :-(
And the rant ends here.
OR DOES IT? THERE IS NOT... You get the idea.5 -
There are few developer who name their functions all wrong, but the functionality is fine. Then there comes those who name their functions right but the functionality is nothing close to what it says. There is this function I debugged. It's name is optimizeQuery. It does not optimize the query at all. Rather dismantles it. Also it made it's way to the production. 😅 Now I have to correct and optimize the optimizeQuery.4

Is there an api to fetch avatars?
@dfox
I mailed to you a long time ago, but not getting any responses.7 -
*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);2 -
Well shit... There really is an API for everything these days huh.
Not sure how these devs made such a system.
-
There should be a new boolean called "Not sure". I wonder how much it can change the logic of every language.15
-
My eyes are burning. Too much color on the notifications page, evil avatars.
There should have been a warning "Do not open in dark!"5 -
How did I not know there was a devrant website. Literally thought it was only an Android/iPhone app.4
-
I really do wish that there are parallel universes. So, there might be a universe where I am not maintaining legacy code.1
-
Oh! no There is more than 10 level of nesting conditions in if else statements. I can not refactor it but It needs to add more nest there. I will only add switch statements or ternary operator for the deeper nesting conditions.4

I've lived in this apartment for four years.
Tomorrow I'm moving out.
I've never ever lost my keys.
But today, the day before I'm moving out,
I LOOSE MY FUCKING KEYS!?!!?

Is there actually any crossplattform mobile development framework which is not a total pain in the ass to work with???!18

!rant but story
Didn't participate in this week rant since the topic is not very relatable to me.
I rarely get truly inspired. There are people I envy. There are things I like. There are moments I go, oh awesome. That's about it.
I doubt myself that I have little bits of narcissist and sociopath traits. Maybe I am. 🤔2 -
What is with IT and their obsession with error messages?
"If there is no error message, I cannot help"
Your not going to get an error message because the problem is VPN is messing up my DNS due to tunneling. There is no error other than me not having Internet if VPN disconnects unless I reboot.2 -
Hi friends and others. There is a task I want to automate. I want to convert .docx files to .pdf and then minify those. Are there JavaScript libraries or npm- packages which can do that? Because I would like to use Gulp or Webpack for this task. I would not mind if external APIs are involved, but I would rather not use those if not required.
Pls share your wisdom. Bye.4 -
R.
The statistical "scene" (if there is such thing) grew so much in recent years, because now there is a single language that everyone can use and easily share code via packages.
Before everyone used a different propietary and paid statistical software, and could not share code.1 -
My body is begging me to sleep, but there is so much caffeine in my blood that brain is not letting me to do so....

Welp, there goes internet freedom.
I'm all for deregulation, but not for ISPs. Not when there is no competition. Not when a lack of competition is enforced by local, state, and federal law.
Deregulation of a government-enforced monopoly is just gross cronyist malfeasance. -
So, after day 3 of Rust programming I have an observation to make:
Rust package management (and conflicts that arise) is not very good.
To the rusters out there, am I wrong? Is there something to make it better?19 -

Err. I'm working on something this is a stupid question. But is there a way to save data and stuff without having to go into back end?
If not or if there is. What should I look into/learn to get it done without having to go too deep6 -
I'm not even done with this code and I am already dreading maintaining it. There is so much magic.1

Is there a good technical reason to not allow passwords to contain special characters? My isp does this and I need to know why.10

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.1 -
Oh you're releasing a build today? Why not put these 7 other things in there... You know, while you're at it...

Wondering whether there will ever be a day where I will not have to google for "how to auto format code in [some IDE]" 😌3

So I was studying the Material Design skeleton component
https://material-ui.com/components/...
you know, like when YouTube shows grey boxes while the content is loading to let the reader know that there will be something there at some point.
But I keep waiting for it to load! My brain just assumes that the content is not ready yet so I wait but I'm the one who put it there in the first place! I'm supposed to be the one manipulating the user with intuitive UI, not the UI manipulating me!2 -
My code worked without any error, now I am sure there is something perky, if not now, then there will be an issue because of this module... Yes, there will be a problem.1

It's amazing that SocialBlade is still not mobile responsive...

Not anyone who tells them to make the site responsive?
Can someone explain? -
Is there any documentation on what is public API or not?
@dfox or is reverse engineering the calls allowed?

Me: "tokens are not mined in general, instead there are gas fees"
Them: "you will charge us for gas fees?"
Me: "no that's not us, that's the decentralized network doing that"
Them: "but we are using hyperledger to generate tokens."
Me: "yea in theory there are no gas fees, but you now have to manage the decentralized network"
Them: "i see, so since there is only probably 2 or 4 in the network, do we still charge ourselves? how do we define gas fees?"
(You don't see...)
Me: "i don't think there are gas fees"
Them: "got it, who set the gas fees"

Is there a Map like class in Java that has

Are there any JavaScripts dev out there using Eclipse (excluding students who are being forced)?
Is this actually a thing in 2019?
I'm being asked to run a JS seminar with Eclipse as the IDE. I've not seen this used in a JS shop for ages. Are there significant pockets of use out there that I'm unaware of?3 -
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.

There is an idea of a perfect woman. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.2

WHY, OH WHY? YOU MADE THE PARTITIONS YOURSELF! WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS NOT THERE?!?!?1

The Google Messaging app update is like forcing people to switch to the dark side. I mean before there wasn't evenvan option? But now I'm actually looking for/want one... And it's there...

I was wondering if there is a way to sync dropbox, gdrive folder with git repo, or is there a way to exclude certain file extension to upload in these cloud storage like gitignore? (Using linux)4 -
Where do you guys go to learn new languages and frameworks?

University projects. I used to always delay them till the last day/days(somehow I knew when to finally start working to be just in time to complete it). There i would be not sleeping for 2/3 days and submitting like 5/10 minutes before deadline time.
P.s. I've only been working for about a year so not much to quote from there -
Hey, is there a site where i can search laptops from every manufacturer, not just a shop specific one, where they only list the ones they sell?

Don't do meetings?
When I have a 7+ meeting and I'm not presenting, I always have a prod problem.

Had to work on a group project for class that had been created by students 3 years prior. This would have been fine if there was any sort of comments in the code, but there was not a single // to be found. Also, we were supposed to just know 3 different languages that we had not used before.

Interview Question:
Are there other options to make this go any shorter?

I have a kubernetes helper, where I can run a command like :Vikube, and it'll open the result in a new tab. Is there any way I can open the result in a splitpane instead? I've found some ways, but not any good ways :/4 -

There are places like Las Aves Archipelago or Ascension Island. They feel like some kind of best kept secret, like you’re not supposed to be there.

The the frontend for mesos' chronos is soooo incredibly slow. With its rest-api looking for job names and starting jobs manually is feasible, but gosh, somebody committed a crime there. (Maybe one is also not supposed to have about 500 jobs in there but that's another issue.)

Say I have a bunch of solutions and I need to know where a class is referenced to determine whether or not I can deprecate it. Is there anything out there that would scan other solutions for references to that class?8 -

Is there a way to force VLC to stream a second monitor when there isn't one?
So trick the PC into thinking there is a second monitor and then have VLC stream that one?
Then watch the stream on another device.
