It fucking happened again God why am I like this

Not sure if this counts as a dev skill but

Not needing sleep anymore.

Imagine how much time you had if you didn't need to waste several hours a day just sleeping

What the fuck is systemd doing
Just start the god damn program and behave normal for once

is there an SVG file available of the devRant logo by any chance?

Went into home office today.
Forgot the laptop charger.

Half the days over and I'm at 16% battery.

Fuck.

Whyyyyyyyyyy are you making typedefs for a type that you only need once

Just leave the array<uint32, 20> there
It's actually less readable to typedef it

First time trying uncomplicated firewall (ufw) on Linux

Why did no one ever tell me configuring a fire wall was this easy

I've just checked my server's auth logs and my god that's a lot of failed ssh login attempts.

I think I'll install an ssh honeypot to waste these peoples time...

Why in god's name does protobuf treat all enum values in the same scope??

Who would have thought that multiple enums may have values like "Undefined" or "Automatic"?

It's current year and somehow C style enums still haunt me

My first introductions to programming was in Garry's mod.
There'e a mod called wiremod, which added logic gates, buttons, and other entities that manipulated the game with input/output. And on top of that a little scripting language they called Expression 2.

Me and some friends would code stupid things in Expression all day to use in the game.
I wasn't too good at it, but I had fun. Shortly after I started going to a high school with a computer science focus, and had 2 years of proper education in C#.

I would appreciate if the language server wouldn't crash constantly, it's getting rather annoying.

Why is it that most C(++) tooling I have used feels like a half assed barely working project?

There's always that one dude with the open mic who constantly breathes into it

Being late to the daily

What is the meson build system and why did you need to break your cmake files in order to support it -_-

C(++) macros will be the death of me

I sure do love working with code that was written when I was in elementary school, with all the glory of nested macros and ## to deduct type names

Love that

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that yaml is a horrible format

Never been to one, I'd imagine them kind of fun if you're there with some friends

Ah

I don't like code generators
Especially if they define one set architecture/design

Because surely the people who made the templates/the generator have thought of every single valid use case

Why do I keep seeing the same rants 100 times? Aargh!

Hmm the build fails because it wants to download grade through http.

"Ah I'll just install it with my package manager"

One apt call later: *still tries to manually download a zip of gradle*

Cool okay, what?

I just want to test and change a minor thing in an open source project, why are you making this so difficult...

It's current year and Microsoft teams doesn't have a full screen mode

Why

Reminder that having a high level education, or even a PhD, doesn't mean you're smart, intelligent or in any way competent.

Sector: embedded software

So I don't have to mess with front end fuckery

The online funeral live stream just broke. The 4G* connection at the place is awful, which is probably the reason for it...
*If it even has 4G now, it definitely didn't a few years ago

Germany keeps jerking itself off how amazing our economy and science is. We're a country of engineers and all that.
Yet our digital infrastructure is a fucking joke.

Rural area? Well better hope you'll get any reception, let alone 4G.
Oh and cable connections? I've seen areas that will give you a 6 Mbit/s DSL connection.

The colleagues who do testing in my department collectively call their assert function 'ass()'

After thorough considerations I came to the conclusion:

RFC3339 is better than ISO8601

Also working with time and dates in C++ is making my head hurt please help me

Overdosing on caffeine every 1-3 days

Maybe nicotine too but that's up to you

Told by boss earlier that my job description should be changed.
It should be cook or chef, as I'm making spaghetti inside my editor.

He argued it could be risotto as well

No matter how many times I use it, I still have to look up how printf formatting works every so often...

Current project has a ridiculously high amount of formal requirements

Two of them literally are
• the system shall have an “off” state
• the system shall be in the “off” state if no power is supplied

Boy do I have just the solution for you!
