We had recently a thread asking about our internet speeds, this seems relevant to most of what I've read in the comments so far.

I accidentally created a bug that became an amazing feature at my last job.

It was for a program to read barcode tickets (we created software and web solutions for events), and to register the barcode sacnners to the computer I had to do some magic with USB-detection since it was not specified which brand the scanners would be (so no SDK would be available).

When the scanner was plugged in it would create its own thread so it wouldn't interfere with the UI of the program when it was reading/sending data.

Somehow I messed up with the thread termination for new scanners so it would accept to connect more than one scanner and it would work flawless since it was its own thread in the program.

When I tried to think out a solution for multiple scanners when planning it I got a headache and thought that's something for later. Turned out alright in the end apparently.

"Got a cool idea! Need to check if it is possible. "

*Proceeds to do some research on the internet*

"Oh great! A thread about it from two years ago! It must have the solution there!"
...

*It was me creating the thread two years ago*

Mfw

A thread of emails is NOT a specification.

1. Search on google for an answer
2. Find someone asking the same question on some forum
3. See the question has an answer
4. The answer is "Please search yourself before asking. Thread locked."

This happens too often..

It's important for developers to remember that......

For the rest of the world a "string" and a "thread" are the same thing..

It was a screenshot of reddit thread.
So, I didn't deserve it anyway!

"Best" resumes in the world thread.

Brace yourselves...

That's really annoying....

We've seen the 'battlestations' threads more than enough, how about a server/nas/network thread?

Here is mine tucked away in an otherwise useless part of my studie.

Just found a stackoverflow thread that had no answer and 2 comments. Here are the comments:

Its such a elating feeling when you implement multithreading perfectly.

I had a task where I read data from one table, searched on it and added the searched data to another table. The table had 0.22 million records.

On single thread it took entire night to do half of the job.

I divided it into 8 thread jobs, and pushed my quadcore to 100% and voila, its done in 2.5Hrs.

Just like Hannibal would have said, "I love it when a plan comes together"

Dev from another team: Actually, we discussed that with {upper management guy} and it seems like those things are unapplicable for current project, so we'll send a letter to {client} to remove those requirements.

Manager: @iiii, don't create stories.

Me: *welp, good thing I did exactly nothing so far*

Just read a forum thread where someone uses an excel spreadsheet as their database for a PHP website. What makes it worse is they have done this for the past 12 years.

Dev: My script that converts the name of our 3rd party IT provider in any email thread I reply to with “PooPoo Inc.”?

HR: No, that is a separate meeting

Dev: Ah.

TL;DR — Never ever use work chat to gossip about work. NEVER.

Just some minutes ago, my boss asked a mate to move aside from his computer and began checking out some docs.

By the tone he used, I assumed something was wrong, I stood from my workplace and went to grab something from the kitchen. Came back and he was looking through a thread in slack between a mate and another work mate.

I thought he was going to send something to himself but then he asked me if I could help printing out the screen. Took a quick look and they were talking shit about him.

Now, it'll be an awkward silence until I go home and those two stay to argue about that thread.

Sheez.

I wrote a web crawler to find a few problems on my company's blog. I accidentally DOS'd the peice of shit with a single thread. Fuck WordPress.

Unix porn thread, post your setups

Saw this on a thread about ways people exit Vim's insert mode.

When you're looking for answers on Google and you come across that one thread that goes on forever; you read every last response. You finally reach the ended to see:

"Thread locked.

Issue Resolved."

You never found your answer.

Is your 20-line long signature detailing your role, team, office location, other office locations, company division, place of birth, etc. really necessary? And on every email in the same thread?

* Calls themselves "Software Engineer"
* Doesn't know what a thread is.

I swear these coding boot camps are churning out code monkeys whose real skill is building shitty React apps.

I believe a CS degree is necessary if you want to work on something more than CRUD applications.

Nothing against devs without degrees, but at least make an effort because my head will explode next time I have to explain to someone what a thread is and why it's a very bad idea to run blocking code on the main thread.

Laptop sticker thread

Trying to run a process on each CPU thread in our vps only to find that our vps has just one CPU and no multi threading. :/

We need an upgrade.

I told a guy to implement an algorithm in cpp. He wrote this weird 600+ lines of code which contains only global variables and void functions then I told him to make it object oriented and he just put all those garbage in the class and gave me back and on top of that class name is Template and file name is template.cpp. I don't have words to describe his code. May be this picture can help you understand my state. Oh, if you think this matchOn_r1, r2,r3 are different then you are mistaken they are just different with one argument (one global argument). This is just part of the code. He has this shit all over the place. Why the fuck this kind of people exists?

Im going to boast for a second. I wrote a lockless multi producer c++ thread pool that scales linearly, doesn't eat cpu on no work, and has a proper packaged_task + futures interface. It's fucking awesome, and that is all. Thanks for reading 😎

- Team_leader_1: I know you're a frontend developer, but trust me NodeJS has threads :) sync operations don't block the main thread :)

Thread-based asynchronity is the best because you can run operations in parallel that weren't designed to run in parallel.

Just saw a thread about Global Reddit Meetup Day. Do we have one in devrant? If not, is it possible to have one? I know the user base is not comparable with reddit, but it would be fun meeting other local developers who rant too 😛

I am driven nearly to blind rage by people who insist on sending you issues as emails and just keep piling more emails on the same thread. For the love of everything decent learn to use a mother FUCKING ticket system.

I can't do anything with English lyrics (other languages are fine. As long as I don't understand the lyrics, it's not distracting), so I usually stick to instrumental like animals as leaders, polyphia, Chon, etc or German metal: Rammstein, oomph, wbtbwb, etc

Some people in the company (3000+ people) didn't know how to use static variables (c#) in a thread-safe manner which resulted in production problems.

Only possible way to solve this in management's mind?:

Weekly reminder that RECRUITERS ARE MANIPULATIVE, LYING ASSHOLES BY DEFAULT.

Nothing new happened. I have seen the thread about rec scums in Reddit.

Couldn't agree more 😂

I'm so fucking sick of pouring hours of work into providing application code for someone who could give two shits about what I've done -- instead he completely fixates on what's missing or broken -- nevermind that I completely eliminated a bad UI thread bottleneck.

Sometimes I swear that coding is a thankless job and people just expect miracles.

I was searching for a good answer about a problem I got. Found an existing thread on stack overflow.
Many answers, all of them upvoted but not working.
One answer being not upvoted was working.
Wanted to upvote it, signed up to stack overflow.

GOD, DAMN IT.

@dfox @trogus Any chance we'll be able to have the comment box a bit smaller and display the current thread at the top of the screen while a user is adding a comment? It would also be cool if we didn't lose everything we typed in if we clicked on the X before posting a comment. I know sometimes I have to take another look at the thread to make sure I am replying correctly. Keep up the good work, guys!

With all the frameworks and libraries available and game engines to develop games, its now easier than ever to build stuff.

aaaaaghh fucking Handlers man. Android is so fucking full of shit, i wonder why am i still doing it. love is pain.

Why can't there be one mother fucking solution to all lazy ass asynchronous programming? handlers, threadpools, asynctask, executers, Broadcasts, intentService, coroutines, rxjava,.... i don't what new stuff are people snorting these days.

Ok , leave everything. A handler is class- no sorry, Handler, alongside some fucking Looper clss (and maybe some more stuff i don't know) other classes is a way of handling inter thread communication. Handlers can:

-send data to ui thread
-recieve data from ui thread
-send "messages" to ui thread
-recieve "messages" from ui thread.
- can be attached to ui thread
- can be attached to any child thread
- can be accessed anonymosly via any view
- can be present in multiple places, working together
- can kill night king with a dagger
- can do porn better than johnny sins
- can run for president of the whole fucking world
- do some more shits that i have yet to discover

And where do i find this? buried deep insides some medium articles or in some guy's horrible accent video.
Is background processing really this much of a toughnut to crack?
earlier i was all about using asynctask or foreground/background services, because these are the most easy to understand abstraction of a fairly difficult topic.
But as i see more projects, i see underlying apis like handlers, threadpools , executers , being directly used.
Why cant there be a fucking single abstraction, that could be "lightly tweaked" to handle every ugly case.

What would be the better approach for loading very big in size or in quantity files in java?
1) Loading data parallel through multiple threads
2) Loading data in series in a single thread
3) any other methodology?

Just asking because loading time is varying both cases.

@dfox - Idea for weekly rant - worst candidate that showed up to a job interview.

Guy didn't know the answer. - NEXT!

Why the f*ck do you want custom cursor on the site? It's annoying when suddenly your cursor changes from default. If that's not enough they are increasing size by 2-3 times. I understand if it's a gaming site or web game but why do you want to put this crap on a business site? No need to change the cursor for branding. That's stupid.

The system I'm developing is depending on an image generating application, that is generating thousands of unique images per day. The kicker? The application is a single thread wpf application hosted on two desktop computers, behind a load balancer, in our server room... because 'it can't be converted to a service'...

I wish people took concurrency more seriously
I get the feeling that often people start writing a project while giving 0 f*cks about thread safety, thinking that it is somehow handled "automatically" by the framework
Only to discover later that large amounts of their code are not thread safe and were only working fine in the past because there were fewer requests, so the chance for two requests happening simultaneously was low

Today was the first time I used WebWorkers. I loaded it with a hyphenator script because fucking Chrome is still not able to do hyphenation on its own. For the main thread I wrote an injectable Angular service as a wrapper and to enqueue hyphenation work.
So far it works pretty smooth and quickly.

Have you used WebWorkers before? What for?

Anyone know a good site to ask programming questions that are more on the looking for suggestions side of things rather than explicit answers? Apparently Stackoverflow mods would rather wave there mighty e-peen and close a thread if your looking for suggestions on how to go about something... 😕

so on android you're supposed to do network stuff like sockets and http requests on a separate thread right. lazy me released an app with a line of code (i forget what it is) that allows me to make http requests in the main thread. rip

I wrote a little webserver console app that would allow me to test another project without bypassing the DRM I wrote for it.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 2, Size: 2 at java.util.ArrayList.rangeCheck(ArrayList.java:653) at java.util.ArrayList.get(ArrayList.java:429) at NewClass2.main(NewClass2.java:7)

When the technically inept PM wants to be included on every single email thread. So then you have to waste even more time explaining.

Out of the loop...

Why was the chill people thread deleted?

Just wondering if Vaadin is thread safe.

Me: *pastes error message into search engine* && *clicks first result*

First Result: Hey I have a problem with *this error*
Thread replies:
Same
Me too
Same here, anybody know how to fix it?
Help me
This has been irritating me for the past 2 minutes, somebody please help

Me: *replies "same" on a two year old thread*

Fuck you.

Nothing like using a ThreadPoolExecutor to thread out my shitty selenium task, so it will go just a bit faster.

Let's get a thread going..

IDE trash talk thread!

We use Slack at work for IMs.

There are tons of threads created in each DM, group chat, and channels.

There is a purpose to each thread.

But.. BUT.... Engineering team responds to a thread and also sends the same message in channel.

What's the fucking point of the thread...

FUCKING STOP SPAMMING WITH DUPLICATE MESSAGES.

I have a cup of green tea in my hand right now and I feel like pouring it on myself.

Third tier geniuses from Timbuktu.

Twitter comments are shit
How the fuck to use them? Why don't they just show one under another? If post has more than 2 replies it can be clicked to open its direct replies, some of them are shown in main thread, some of them are shown under opened thread. Some replies from main thread are shown under child thread. And to make it even worse any comment of sub thread can be expanded as well showing some random replies that could be expanded recursievly so you may end in main thread again. It is just impossible to read all replies in chonological order. Show me the moron who made this, I wanna kill him....

C# can be great and all but sometimes it just makes me want to put a bullet in my head because i can't figure out HOW TO FUCKING USE A GOD DARN FORM ITEM IN A FUNCTION OR THREAD!

@DevRantDevs could you please add the feature that i can view an image dorectly from the thread wothout loading the rant?
Is maybe someone else interested in this feature?

When you convince your client to purchase a commercial thread-dump analysis tool, and that pies of soft gives you flamegraphs like this one [excerpt].

And then your own TD analysis tool works significantly better than that.

[P.S. I wonder how many of you will spot what's wrong here :) ]

Bot testing thread

Google Inbox is starting to be more and more laggy, unresponsive and slow. And they just don't care. Sometimes I'm like clicking fucking 10 times on a thread until it opens.

Also going back to Gmail is not an option as the current version also looks like a Frankenstein's monster with a mix of different designs from material design and something else.

Annoying things
while programming: the thread

* Don't go off topic
* No meme images. Even if they are related to the topic

Have fun!

Did we already do a WFH setup thread?

Ive been shit lately and my only escape has been programming and even so I still feel just bad.

Going through a C# book I have helps, but the last thing to get me to just feel good was this Python script I wrote to download a lot of images within a thread of a post and just seeing it go from nothing to working how I wanted is such rush and to watch it work and go through a LARGE thread of pictures that ARENT pornographic and download and save them is extremely satisfying.

That’s how I’ve been lately.

Have you ever been so frustrated with a problem that you almost posted a question to Stackoverflow.com just to find your answer minutes later?

Which reminds me, I need to comment on that thread where I found my answer. It wasn't entirely correct...

Leaves libboost to compile using single thread , takes a long lunch break

Allstar by Smash Mouth using console.beep and thread sleep in c#

<just a personal thread>
Press -- and select "not for me"

Just noticed a thread on r/programmerhumor about bank code intentionally adding delays with all these JavaScript code blocks of how it's adding sleep cycles in.

So I spent an hour reading the documentation and wrote up an over engineered solution in COBOL just to prove a point.

I'm reading my first Rust codebase after getting familiar with language for a while and I feel like a raw potato.

You know when you are interested in a topic or have a question, and you find it on stackoberflow or hacker news, but it is from 754 days ago ...

You are left wondering, should I leave a comment here or create a new thread ...

Clowns who reply to each thread separately with a single comment on Slack instead of keeping it in the main window 🤡

A uni kicked out here, enough said :3

// I don't wanna share my great achievement and wisdom in the official weekly topic thread 😆

Me, explaining once again that a webserver needs to be thread safe:

"I have nothing to learn from my colleagues".

Build Succeeded in 9.37s (3 seconds ago) ...

welp I went from "gosh rust makes programming so stupid because I don't have to keep anything in my head like in JavaScript, if it compiles it runs zzzz you can literally be wasted / in dementia and write working software now"

to "I wonder if I can inspect how long threads are waiting for mutex locks to squeeze the hell out of performance"

Anyone had any luck running Minecraft servers on DO/AWS/GCP? My current DO Droplet isn't cutting it, and I think I'm noticing the single thread bottle neck of Minecraft.
