To all "StackOverflow is BAD" ranters - give link or don't post. And even before, please read

Facebook/Instagram era taught people that it's easier to just ask question gazzylion of times before doing research / using search (even "site:stackoverflow.com" search)

I do rarely post on SO just because in 99% of cases I find solution when preparing my question during research or due to yellow duck effect.

When I got qualified to do reviews on questions I started to see how often they are so abroad or so primitive than 10min of duckduckgoing would solve it. But no, it's easier to use other people for you.

Update to my CGI library for C++:

i've finally written the docs, everything seems to run stable!

if anybody is crazy enough to try it out and leave some feedback, I take everything!

:D

Well... Looks like I managed to make a Webpage in C++...

...

I need a life...

webpage (self hosted, so I don't guarantee that it will always be online. however, the pages source code is on github): http://2.205.108.223/cgi-bin/...

OH dear!

I wanted to do webdev backend in C++.
It was cumbersome so I decided to write a library that helps me and OH MY GOD. I have COMPLETELY changed C++ xDD

Check out https://linux.pictures for these bad boys. It's awesome

Can't a girl get a pair of heels on this site?! I like to look fabulous when I code.

List of most annoying website designs.

1) Pages with AUTO PLAYING VIDEOS.

Yes I'm looking at you Netflix. Along with every news website known to man. I'm looking to read a fucking article, so why would you even waste your money and bandwidth trying to shove a video of some shit I don't care about in my face, and make it follow me as I scroll down like a fucking insecure puppy. Also, fuck you Instagram.

2) Pages that redirect once immediately after you visit them, thereby fucking with the browser history and the BACK BUTTON just leads back to the same fucking site.

I mean, just why. Did you think I would just go "Hey the back button doesn't work so let's stay on the site and read their awesome content"?

3) Sites showing things in a SLIDESHOW, when it actually should be in a list.

Slideshows are for progressive stories or for showing lists where you don't care about what's in them. Top 10 foods that reduce weight. Slideshow 1/15. Fuck you.

4) LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE USING AN AD BLOCKER

Yes. Yes I am. No I will not turn it off for you, you narcissistic snowflake fuck. And don't even try to guilt shame me into turning it off, because I know you're just going to bombard me with videos of sexy singles in the area if I do.

5) Pages where I see the first 3 lines of an article and have to SUBSCRIBE to see more.

Yes. Brilliant fucking idea. A user wants to see what your site has to offer, so within the first three seconds, don't show him exactly that.

6) Looking up an article and having to read through the entire motivational life story of the author.

I just want to know how to boil eggs, not read about your journey across Africa learning how to make difference recepies using boiled rhino dung.

I would love to see those that say:
Unused RAM is wasted RAM

There you go, used every fucking possible bit to a point mouse pointer doesn't fucking move.

Fucking hate when people say that, and don't be funny and throw a comment about those 300MB are wasted .. blah blah blah.... Yaaaa fuck off.

This is hilarious 😂🤣🤣

Learning chineese !

All heil CLRS

So much rant against the GDPR. In the meanwhile USA Today created a site just for the EU. No Tracking or Ads. A site which was normally 5mb big to load is now 500kb for the EU! Awesome! Thats what the internet could be!

New Feature of Facebook? :D

Url shortener seems to be working well enough as for the features without interface yet, still doing testing but it's looking good (few minor non-critical bugs but that's it as far as I can see)

Now the frontend/interface.

😅😰😬

Serious dumb thoughts.

Why do we need different languages when we can make changes or build libraries for one and make it better.

Shakespeare quotes 😶

I want to get every contributor of arch wiki and kiss you on the cheek. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ???

Galaxy S8 5.8" Quad HD+ Super AMOLED (2960x1440) 
570 ppi

Galaxy S8+ 6.2" Quad HD+ Super AMOLED (2960x1440) 
529 ppi

oh my fucking god, what kind of retard decided this ?

This resolution is waaaaay too much. It impacts performance and battery life a fuck ton and gives you absolutely nothing in return. I would be cordially surprised if there was someone in the world who could see more than 400 ppi. 300 is more than enough for most of the people.
God these fucks are annoying with their retarded marketing. And even more so, the people who buy these phones, because phone manufacturers can and will continue doing so.
Flagship my ass.

SORRY I'M NOT A DEVELOPER!!!

If you quickly scanned through this message I’m sure you think: “for fuck’s sake, another recruiter…”

And yes, correct, I have a recruiting background.

BUT that’s what made me understand what developers are going through nowadays.
most recruiters don’t have a clue about technologies - let alone coding languages!!!

You know how it is, they find you via keyword search and probably don’t really understand the project they are recruiting for.

That’s why we created nexten.io. A platform aiming to connect talented developers directly with project leads instead of recruiting firms, while staying completely anonymous until you’re sure the position lives up to your desires.

Your profile will only be visible for companies that offer job opportunities matching your exact desires in order to reduce spam to a minimum. To contact you, a chat interaction is started, together with a short video by a CTO or Lead Dev explaining their specific tech needs - engineer to engineer.

At the moment the project is in the final development stage and before we launch on April 5th, we are trying to gather as much intel as possible, so if you have any opinion or want to be notified when we launch just drop a line!

Thanks for the suggestion Google.

Even the exit door knows to get your code into source control before you leave.

I had a secondary Gmail account with a really nice short nickname (from the early invite/alpha days), forwarded to another of my mailboxes. It had a weak password, leaked as part of one of the many database leaks.

Eventually I noticed some dude in Brazil started using my Gmail, and he changed the password — but I still got a copy of everything he did through the forwarding rule. I caught him bragging to a friend on how he cracked hashes and stole and sold email accounts and user details in bulk.

He used my account as his main email account. Over the years I saw more and more personal details getting through. Eventually I received a mail with a plaintext password... which he also used for a PayPal account, coupled to a Mastercard.

I used a local website to send him a giant expensive bouquet of flowers with a box of chocolates, using his own PayPal and the default shipping address.

I included a card:

"Congratulations on acquiring my Gmail account, even if I'm 7 years late. Thanks for letting me be such an integral part of your life, for letting me know who you are, what you buy, how much you earn, who your family and friends are and where you live. I've surprised your mother with a cruise ticket as you mentioned on Facebook how sorry you were that you forgot her birthday and couldn't buy her a nice present. She seems like a lovely woman. I've also made a $1000 donation in your name to the EFF, to celebrate our distant friendship"
