What do you guys use instead of Google Analytics? I'd like a free (if possible) application that gives me most if not all of the data Google does

Relax, they said. Eat some turkey, spend time with family.
What do I do? Work on a personal project.

Has anyone ever experimented with Dart or Flutter? I'm thinking about developing an app soon. What should I know before diving in?

Found this on the play store

Freenom just removed one of my domains because "it was hosting ads". When I try to re-register it, they want me to pay for it. Is this a common practice of theirs?

So, I've just been offered two jobs that are basically the same. It is impossible to do both. What do I do?

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄
If you are home with family, hope you enjoy solving their problems or explaining Bitcoin!

Trying to use WSL, but guess what? You cannot install snaps! Entire afternoon wasted trying to just install a snap!

Overheard this conversation today:
1: look at this! My shiny new iPhone can measure stuff!
2: how accurate is it?
1: not very, it is pretty buggy.
2: how did the bugs get in there?
3: it is an apple so

Does anyone else think the new Chrome design looks a little like Firefox Quantum?

Didn't bother to clean up, my small, unimpressive desk where I spend a lot of time

WordPress.

Why are you so slow?

Apiology: the study of APIs and how they work

Where do you buy your domains from? What are your experiences with various registrars?

Regarding the whole GitHub purchase:

At least it wasn't Oracle.

Microsoft is buying GitHub?

Actually, that sounds great. A lot of people here are making it sound like this is the end of the world as we know it, but how do we know that they will make it awful? The Microsoft of today is different than the Microsoft of 2007. The purchase is simply a way to expand their enterprise offerings. I have experimented with Office365, and it is actually really useful. GitHub will be a way to expand that offering to software development companies.

Who knows? We may even get some kind of Azure CI service built directly into GitHub repos?

However, I see why some people are concerned. If they want to move to GitLab, I don't actually blame them a bit. I was already using it before it was cool!

The point of this rant is that we should give Microsoft a chance, and not jump ship right away.

Do you know how hard it is to find a safe, virus free YouTube downloader that actually works? Very hard. How about one that downloads a whole playlist? Impossible.

Really loving devRant unofficial.

So
I wrote a song
About devRant
Don't judge me

To the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"

dfox and trogus
Had a very good idea
They worked on it
And out popped devRant
Then one foggy Friday night
They published it
It was an instant hit
Devs everywhere rejoyced

Now the devs love them
As they type out their rants
dfox and trogus
You'll go down in dev history!
(Like Linus Torvalds!)

Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🎉🎊

I am 2 hours early, but I'm going to bed now.

Continuing my rant from Yesterday....
As I was strolling though Walmart yesterday...
Tech Support 1: $Customer is having issues with their tablet they bought from us.
Tech Support 2: tell them to shut it off and shut it back on
Me: ❓

Alright, I've had it. I was scrolling through Walmart when I saw a kititchen utensil holder with a BLUETOOTH SPEAKER? Who needs this? It probably doesn't even sound that good. I am getting tired of people slapping a Bluetooth speaker in random objects. Someone gave me a Bluetooth flower pot for Christmas. Why do you need a bunch of low quality speakers in random objects? I don't get it.

My family knows me so well.

Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

I would like to hear some discussion about Net Neutrality from the dev community.

Go.

Just curious, what browser(s) do you use, and why?

Really? No matter how hard you try, I will not switch to Edge. I want proof!

I am fairly sure that at this point you would have to live under a rock to not know about the Razer phone.
