Why is Skype installed on my pc

so aparently you can't go to chrome://settings in an incognito tab

So in my experience, coding while I'm not sober actually helps out sometimes. I always end up documenting my code way more so that I can keep track of what I am doing, and the code I write is actually decent.

Ofcourse, I always re-test it once sober again

M: Type "cd path/to/files" where path/to/files is the path of the files I just sent you to download and send me a screenshot

C: Done!
*sends screenshot of them typing "cd path/to/files" and an error message because the path doesnt exist*

You know what would be cool for testing web pages?

A chrome window that would mirror my mouse movements, clicks and key presses into a firefox/opra/ie browser so I could test a bunch of browsers at once in the same way

I tried to connect my PC to wifi and windows just completely broke ffs

Why can I not find a way to keep a window on top in Windows? Am I being dumb? I feel like this used to be a thing you could do in task manager

Finished my setup!!

My DevDuck came! What name should I pick?

I had to do a project for my A-levels.

The task was to get a client and develop and application based on their requirements. Naturally I made my friends my clients so that I could make something I was interested in.

The teacher constantly changed my requirements during the start, because he liked everyones applications to be somewhat similar (Probably easier to mark), which demotivated me.

The timescale we were set around easter time was to have a demo by the end of summer which didn't need to work properly, and then a completed version after the Christmas holidays.

I wrote about 90% of the program over my 2 weeks off for Christmas, most of that while drunk, high, or both, and managed to complete it within them two weeks.

I went back to the code a couple months later, with no memory of writing it, to set up a demo to show my teacher and I was actually surprised at it. It was the first project of that type that I had worked on, and while there were a couple noticable bugs, it actually worked fairly well, and was really well documented. I was expecting a pile of buggy spaghetti.

I'm a complete noob with hardware so can someone please help me.

My GPU can support up to 4 monitors. I have 5. I figured that since you don't need a GPU for a computer to work, my PC would be able to support 4 with my GPU and one with the on-board system, but apparently I am wrong.

Is it possible to configure it to work this way? Will this seriously impact performance? (It shouldn't right? As PCs are designed to run with one monitor)

I know it is possible to connect multiple GPUs so if that's not possible, could anyone give me any advice on that? Thanks!

I am building a website inspired by devrant but have never built a server network before, and as im still a student I have no industry experience to base a design on, so was hoping for any advice on what is important/ what I have fucked up in my plan.

The attached image is my currently planned design. Blue is for the main site, and is a cluster of app servers to handle any incoming requests.

Green is a subdomain to handle images, as I figured it would help with performance to have image uploads/downloads separated from the main webpage content. It also means I can keep cache servers and app servers separated.

Pink is internal stuff for logging and backups and probably some monitoring stuff too.

Purple is databases. One is dedicated for images, that way I can easily back them up or load them to a cache server, and the other is for normal user data and posts etc.

The brown proxy in the middle is sorta an internal proxy which the servers need to authenticate with to connect to, that way I can just open the database to the internal proxy, and deny all other requests, and then I can have as many app servers as I want and as long as they authenticate with the proxy, they can access the database without me changing any firewall rules. The other 2 proxies just distribute requests between the available servers in the pool.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced :D

I actually hate sleeping

I spent about 9.5hrs in bed lastnight.
I got 4.5 hours sleep.
I woke up 3 hours after my alarm started going off.

Why is this bs ughhhh

Apparently a single biscuit is 1 serving

const json = {key: 0}
json.key=1
console.log(json);

>>> {key: 1}

I just wasted ages debugging that

After seeing everyone arguing about coffee on my post yesterday, I thought you guys might like to see my new invention.

I call it "the late man's coffee" for when you don't have enough time to eat breakfast and drink your morning coffee.

My coffee went cold :(

4:30am after 6+ hours of coding and the only visible difference is a drop-down that can be opened and closed

Me: *makes todo list for things that need to be done today*

Also me: *wakes up late, eats breakfast, goes back to bed*

"I might need to come back to this page later" always leads to about 50 tabs being open and me just opening the site in a new tab because that's just quicker than finding it.

I need to get better at managing this

So I set up a raspberry pi to control my bedroom lights last year. I decided I wanted to add some more features to it and for the first time since I created it, started looking through the code I wrote.

First thing I noticed was the excessive amount of files I have. Like I get that I just wanted to throw this thing together as quick as I could but did I really need to create a file specifically for storing a 1 or 0 depending if the lights were last turned on or off for a startup check.

Secondly, I seem to have 2 index.html files for some reason.

And finally, the code itself is pure spaghetti. The website is running with a python script, which sends calls to a nodejs server, which executes additional python scripts to control the lights. No comments anywhere, and badly named variables are also a great combo.

And finally there is the occasional "Why the fuck isn't it working, fuck it I'll just unplug the pi and reboot it" that I have been dealing with lately.

Oh and don't forget that the log file is spammed by a debug message that is printed every minute.

God I feel so ashamed. I was proud of this until I looked at it just now.

Fuck. You know you have overslept when you wake up and reach for your phone to check the time only to realise you aren't reaching for your phone, but instead you've fallen back asleep and are dreaming about reaching for your phone.

Just happened 3 times in a row to me -.-

Look what I made!

So I have this code written in node:

Function connect(){
const client = net.blahblah

client.on('close', () => {
Connect()
}
}

As the connect is called from within the close call back, it wouldn't be recursive right? Like if it disconnected a million times, it shouldn't throw a recursion error or use up a bunch of memory right? Or am I thinking about it wrong?

Gotta love nature

It's probably not good that I just slept through my (fairly loud) alarm for 45 mins but oh well

I'll be honest, I was more exited than I would like to admit when my Ethernet switch came in the post

I tried putting a heat sink on a couple of my PIs but have instead painted my keyboard with thermal paste.

Im starting to make a project to manage incoming emails from my teachers. It's gonna sort them by class and filter out a bunch of junk that college sends me. Also gonna set it up so it's easier for me to keep track of which things I've done and what I am working on, as well as probably have something that shows how soon things are due.

I've just realised, after a couple years of node.js I still don't know how to get command line input.
