!rant, just wanted to share
I invited some coworkers I count as friends to a drink on friday after work..
One of them replied: I hope it's your birhday..Right?? You're not giving up on us & resigning?

"Did you get my email?"

No, your email got sucked into the black hole that is the vast and mysterious internet. It's gone forever.
/s

Yes, I got your email. I'm ignoring it because I can only handle one stupid coworker's request at a time. Take a number.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

My co-workers just tried to convince me that the following is a secure password:

"ThisIsASecurePassword2018"

Just... I mean... Why? *sigh*

Their argumentation is based on the new NIST guidelines.

If they've read these guidelines CAREFULLY though... (not only the appendix) it actually states "Don't use words from the dictionary". Passwords like these should even be rejected right away.

When your mother keep waking you up asking where is MS Office Word...

Nothing ruins your Friday night more than realising it's only Thursday.

Dammit.

When you at work and the internet is down ☻.

It was between me and another guy.

I fucking won!

I GOT THE FUCKING JOB!!

I'll be a junior Linux Support Engineer in a week or so!

OMG OMG YAYAYAYAYAY

Just me, explaining how my code works.

What are those points i need for my avatar?

OK I've just got an idea that I think would be quite neat:

How about a virtual rubber duck that sits in the corner of your editor? Just like the gem in old Word, if you remember. It's yellow and quacks sometimes, and nods understandingly when you talk to it (mic monitoring).

And it also monitors your typing and says (popup text bubble) things like:
"those parentheses doesn't look balanced to me"
"did you really initialize that variable?"
"you wrote JASON again"
"you forgot the ;"

You get the point.

I don't have time to implement, feel free to steal my idea and become a millionaire.

whats the average age on devrant?

I got the job but don't know how to do it. fml

I dont know if the algo is broken or something but i suspect @ThatDude is a machine. I see him even on every forsaken rant!

Probably a very sophisticated AI droid since his freakin' funny too..

My friend told me ++i and i++ are one and the same.

We aren't friends anymore.

Holy shit, thanks Spencer!

I so want to swag out my avatar here, but spending cash on it almost seems wrong. Gotta earn those ++ legit.

This happened right before lunch.

Me: hey, what languages do you know?
Classmate: i know python that's pretty much it. What abou...

Random fella: ...-yOU cAn TalK SnekK?!?!?!

I noticed that urban dictionary didn't have a definition for devRant.

So I posted one.

And it got rejected ):

*Bawls like a baby*

To the four people who will read this, if you're remotely close to being interested, let me know, I'll post it here.

Date a programmer. We break loops, not hearts.

Hm.... good point.... I never thought of it like that...

That moment when you realise your post cannot even get 20 ++ 😑

I just hit the scales this morning. I need to lose 10 kg ASAP.

My brain loves programming but my body hates it.

that feeling when everything isnt responding anymore so i thought task manager could handle it..... turns out task manager is like everything else....

Task Manager (not responding)

5!=120
(Not missing brackets)

My friend is a css guy and he told me this

.illuminati {
position: absolute;
visibility: hidden;
}

Wow. I think I've got devrant fever.

I just browsed devrant. Closed devrant. Immediately saw devrant on my homescreen and thought, I need to check devrant. Then immediately after that I remember I just browsed devrant. *Sigh*.

AAAAAAAAAHH!! Life just kicked me in the danglers, and since I can't scream in the office....

Im thinking of posting/recomending games here on devrant, the kind if games i'll be posting are mostly; indie games, low spec games, and games that'll get you hooked on for days.

What do you guys think?
Go easy on me.

next gen iphone

Had an external hdd for backing up family photos etc. (back when I just discovered Linux and still used windows as well)

Connected it to my windows system and it said that the thing was corrupt and i had to format it.

Well fuck, a few hundred gb's of pictures, memories, backups etc etc probably lost. (keep in mind I didn't know that much about computers at that point)

Was about to format that thing with literally tears in my eyes when I thought I'd, because why the fuck not since I was out of options anyways, try it as well on my Ubuntu installation.

EVERYTHING WAS STILL ON THERE AND PERFECTLY ACCESSIBLE.

After a very much rage attack on windows I formatted the windows partition and used that as a backup space as well :).
