So I've recently become interim sys admin at my current job.
I'm not sure if I'm doing things right but...hey, I switched the entire office to Linux so that counts for something right?

Random question to everyone out there:
Do you guys use a specific keyboard?
As in a mechanical or just the off the shelf keyboard? Do you invest in ergonomic ones or not?

I ask because I've been looking at ortholinear keyboards and was wondering if they work or if they're even worth it.

So I have officially achieved one of my childhood dreams and built my own PC, took me a while to save up enough to to afford it and yes it's not the best but it's mine and I love it :)

Would anyone know how to go about getting a job in Japan? Developer or sys admin anything really that's livable

I can't seem to focus on my work at all today -_- my server model isn't working and I haven't even started anything else...Any tips on helping me focus?

So it's Valentine's day here in the states.
I don't know what to do for my GiF.
All I did was rm -rf objects around the apartment and she seemed pleased...Am I doing this relationship thing right?

On my friend's terminal set:
alias cd ="ls -a && echo 'you suck' "
It was funny seeing him flail around for a small bit.

Javafx...Why can't I understand you...

I believe that the answer to all my problems lies in the wubbs of chillstep.
It's the only thing that helps me debug.

So I just removed Facebook on my phone as a way to detach myself from the app since it was taking over my life, I think I'm gonna be better in the end...maybe...

I tend to load up Spotify put on my noise cancelling headphones and zone out and become one with the code.
Super deep.
Like deeper than neo.
Also have to have my hands on my mechanical keyboard at home.

So guys at the moment Im working at a medical company as a business temp but I really like it here. At the moment they know me as the tech guy. I want to be the official systems administrator here but don't know how to go about doing that.
I have a strong Linux background but everyone here uses windows.
I think that they need a server but I don't think I can just go up to my boss and say "hey, I know I'm not certified yet but hows about you give me money so I can set up a server for you?"
I need advice.

Biggest annoyance of lisp?
Parenthesis...parenthesis everywhere...

READ THE MAN PAGES!

Have fun with it and don't take it TOO seriously. Always look at a bug as a puzzle then you'll enjoy it more in the long run.

That feeling you get when you realize that most people don't know what your doing and assume you're "hacking the mainframe"

That feeling you get when you realize that switching to a pure tiling window manager is the best thing you've done in your life since switching to boxers.

Hey @dfox I just thought that adding a "download image" button would be pretty cool for Android (not sure if iOS has it)

Software engineering class has been nothing but UML creation. I understand that their important but I just want to actually, ya know, engineer some software.

That moment when you realize that normal people dont use increment and decrement in normal speech syntax...

I just became the CS tutor for my university...the one thing I have learned:
Don't let them ask questions explain what they need to know and walk away. Let them down and find the joy of problem solving.

When you're in a class talking about GNU/Linux and how to use bash but you've installed Arch and have your zshrc setup already.

I've been fucking around with arch since 9pm and now it's 2am...I have class tomorrow...why did I do this to myself? oh that's right because it looks beautiful.

The mail found my stickers!!
Thanks devRant devs!
I'm super glad I found this community, you guys are making me pull out less and less hair and helping me laugh

I understand that its very inefficient to call every applicant back or to give valid feed back as to why they were not chosen but I find it hard to believe that I was not chosen for an entry-level programing position when I have knowledge in everything they sought.
😧

When you're excited about getting devRant stickers but you find out your mail has been tampered with and everything is gone...

whenever I see someone named Jason it makes me giggle

Does anyone have first hand use exp with the Nextbit Robin?
My current phone (Samsung Note Edge) is currently really glitchy and sometimes the touchscreen goes black, so that leads me to thinking about getting a new phone, the Robin.
I just wanted an unfiltered review.

void rant(){
Pokémon go is fun, but it's not great.
Doesn't everyone think that it would be better to actually battle for your Pokemon's level?
They could perhaps keep a similar evo system (Everytime you fight you get like 1 poke candy)
This catch and release system is getting kind of annoying in my opinion.
I want to get attached to my Pokemon and actually feel like a trainer, not a garbage disposal for Pokemon.
They already have a battle mechanic, they would just need to enable ai battle algorithms and ambient encounters.
