What's up with employers asking to give them a pay expectation? I don't fucking know just tell me how much you are willing to pay for god sake

FUCK

I really wanna love Rust. I really, really do. But no inheritance is just such a stupid decision. But inheritence bad REEEE. No. Just no. Composition only works fine for some things because it just isn't powerful enough to properly (without performance penalty or boilerplate, that is) emulate inheritance. Some things are just better with inheritance: Games, UI, html or xml libs, etc. Now I have to use stupid fucking workarounds because oh no we cannot implement inheritance because that's scary and might give the programmers to much power. I can decide when I want to use inheritance or composition for myself, dickheads

Is there any benefit of having custom input field dialogs, eg. for date and time? Should I be using just the HTML5 tags as-is (only styling the field itself), or create custom dialogs (creating custom javascript dialogs on top of basic text fields)?

just created my first pull request

Yesterday: updating my antivirus
Todsy: <common cold>

Virus: XD
Me: :/

My own colo server. My own cloud. My own infra.

Fuck all of the CSP's and their fucking broken TOS and their data privacy violations!

Why do you think Amazon is so cheap? Because when they discover a product/service/software on AWS makes money, they WILL Reverse engineer it, make it and price you out of the market. It's their business model!

Anything I (am able to) build myself.
Also, things that are reasonably standardized. So you probably won't see me using a commercial NAS (needing a web browser to navigate and up-/download my files, say what?) nor would I use something like Mega, despite being encrypted. I don't like lock-in into certain clients to speak some proprietary "secure protocol". Same reason why I don't use ProtonMail or that other one.. Tutanota. As a service, use the standards that already exist, implement those well and then come offer it to me.

But yeah. Self-hosted DNS, email (modified iRedMail), Samba file server, a blog where I have unlimited editing capabilities (God I miss that feature here on devRant), ... Don't trust the machines nor the services you don't truly own, or at least make an informed decision about them. That is not to say that any compute task should be kept local such as search engines or AI or whatever that's best suited for centralized use.. but ideally, I do most of my computing locally, in a standardized way, and in a way that I completely control. Most commercial cloud services unfortunately do not offer that.

Edit: Except mail servers. Fuck mail servers. Nastiest things I've ever built, to the point where I'd argue that it was wrong to ever make email in the first place. Such a broken clusterfuck of protocols, add-ons (SPF, DKIM, DMARC etc), reputation to maintain... Fuck mail servers. Bloody soulsuckers those are. If you don't do system administration for a living, by all means do use the likes of ProtonMail and Tutanota, their security features are nonstandard but at least they (claim to) actually respect your privacy.

Starting to develop a feature that may eventually render a department in our company redundant. Wish me luck

Tomcat catalina apache server needs to automatically restart each time you change at least 1 line of a CSS code in order to apply those changes on the web page and guess what
The time it takes to restart is between 30-60 seconds☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️🐟😂🤡☠️🤡🤡🤡🤡☠️🤡🤡☠️🤡🤡☠️🤡🤡☠️☠️🤡☠️🤡☠️🔥🔥🔥☠️🔥🔥🔥😦🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🤡🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔫🔫😦🔫🔫🔥🔫🔥🔫🔥🔫🔫🔫😍🔫🔫🔫🔥🔫🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🔥🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🔥🔥🤪🔥🤪🔥🤪🔥🤪🔥🤪🔥🤪🍆🍆🔥🍆🔥🍆🔥🍆💦🍆💦🍆💦🍆💦🍆💦🍆💦🍆💦🍆🍆🍆💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦👋👋👋👋👋👋

basically if you talked shit about gradle, try apache tomcat.

imagine changing from padding: 10px; to padding: 100px; and waiting 60 seconds just to see this change.

i was on vacation. one week in denmark without a computer.

7 days without a single line of code written. i am scared to boot my pc because i can not tell if i am able to write an application anymore.

This is unintentionally hilarious.

DigitalOcean have given me heaps of free credit for hosting open source projects / things related to open source projects over the years. They've also given free hosting to various charities I know. Seem like a bunch of genuinely good people.

“Hi - we’ve done an analysis of the front end codebase and we’ve determined that it would be a good idea to start using Bootstrap. Are there any concerns with this?”

“Hey - no concerns, we actually already use Bootstrap in all those places.”

“I was not aware. So you’re saying there are concerns?”

First day at work, wish me good luck !

I've written a script that logs my time tracker information into my timesheet at work and its fucking fantastic, so simple yet so satisfying. I needed to tell someone
