The new Windows Terminal (Preview) lets you watch a PewDiePie video while working on Haskell!

A bit of an off-topic, but people need to shut up about copyright.

I see people making cool fun stuff all the time, and they start talking about a liscence to use it and copyrights and stuff. Wtf!? I get it if you're making a big commercial project, but no one's gonna steal your cookie clicker clone nor your minecraft mod.

I get it that people want their work to be protected, but ffs it reay annoys me when people bring up legal stuff when mentioning a project that was clearly just made for fun.

Engineering never really evolves. The techniques we are using now to build the largest dams in the world are the same ones which were used to build ancient aquaducts.

Chemists recently "compiled" a programming language into chemicals! I'll admit that I have no clue how it works, but they were able to get a mathematical function working without any electronics. The article I read doesn't describe the speed of the reaction, so I'm not sure if it's really useful as a replacement for computer operations.

Master/Slave terms we're just removed from python. Why? Who needed / requested this? Do people not understand these terms to such a degree that they actually offend people?

You know, I like complaining about other people. But, in reality, I'm really annoying. I'm that kinda guy that names every Excel spreadsheet, "data". Do you guys ever realise that you're more annoying than you let on?

Favourite programming paradigm and why?

So...the windows console is getting emoji support. I can't convey how happy it makes me that this is what they've been working on. Very happy. Because of little smiling pictures of yellow people in a command line.

I'll deal with it later

So this is less of a devrant and more of a rantrant. I am working with this kid on one of those stupid school projects where you have to make a newscast. This kid is abysmal at script writing and seems to have no clue how humans speak.

He assured me halfway through that, despite this, he was "really good at film editing" and wants "to do it as a career".

You can imagine how this is going. It was abysmal. There was no intro, the audio was off, etc. I feel bad for any future employer he might have.

1) Build a time machine
2) travel to week 0
3) tell people that they end up accomplishing nothing

When people use the word, "technology" in place of electronics. Technology encompasses everything: shoes, compasses, etc. Yet people still feel the need to use the word only for their iPhone.

Why do people say Binary to ASCII? Shouldn't they say, "Binary to readable text through/using ASCII"?

Well I don't know I guess I could procrastinate some more on here

Best: Lived with my family and ate well

Worst: Didn't die

Nice one dude

I need someone to tell me to stop procrastinating, right now.

OK I'm getting real tired of people posting stuff about Net Neutrality on here, as we all know about it at this point.

The one thing that gets me more angry is that these people get it wrong.

People look at this Net Neutrality thing and instantly think: "Oh, well, I would have to pay more. That's bad."

What it really is is that your ISP can see what you have been searching and would be allowed to send that information to a third party, or change the speed of your internet if you search something their sponsors don't like.

This is what you should be worried about. Your privacy, not your wallet.

Stranger Things Fan: Have you seen Stranger Things? It's really good. You NEEEEED to watch it. Now.

Firefox Quantum Fan: Have you used FireFox Quantum? It's safe, fast, and uses less RAM. I don't know why it has such a low market share. You neeeeeeeed to use it! NOW.

I saw this the other day:

if x % 3 == 0:
print("Number is divisible by 6")

I wanted to, and want to, die.

You know, there is so much of a push to get girls to start programming. You know what, the industry is doing just fine, and if a girl wants to get in, she can. Girls shouldn't be considered special, they shouldn't be given a handicap and no one should assume they are worse.

There is absolutely no money to be made in the "Girls who Code" push and people need to start seeing that they are polluting everything.

I just saw, on Shark Tank, some crappy version of the Sphero, which may be the biggest insult to a product, ever, that was basically a Barbie driving around and you can program it. I want to die.

How to get free dark theme?
1) Set theme to blindingly white
2) Go to settings and turn on invert colours.
3) Profit

Ok so I am writing this in random and I am sorry if you don't want to see this stuff on devrant, but here goes:

I can't say my R's. They come our sounding kinda like U's, just me kinda saying "Uh". Air is "Ai-uh". Has anyone else suffered from this? If so, hoe did you solve it? This is "Uh"-eally both"uh"ing me. Thanks

I have this math teacher and, wow, is she good at math. And, wow, should she never enter another field in her life. Today she asked us if anyone does code. The answer is yes, but I refuse to answer something that uses code as a verb.

One of my biggest annoyances: people say 8bit to describe anything remotely pixellated. These morons could look at a black and white computer image and say 8 bit

The word, "Code" being used as a verb,
"Cloud",
'Big Data",
Recruiters,
Scratch,
Any other crappy "Teach your kid to code!" Product,
And finally, mondays.

This is the comprehensive list of buzzwords and things in general that make me want to die right now

I know this is devrant, but I don't care. If you don't like it, dislike this, move on with you day, and you won't ever see a "Random" post again.

So I have this PhysEng teacher and he is a super nice guy but some aspects of him can be down right annoying.

We had to write this conclusion for a lab we did and this retard said it didn't count because I never turned the conclusion in (What he meant was that I didn't glue the thing in, and he literally said that this means it doesn't exist.)

My grade is supposed to be a representation of how much I have learned, this should not mean that I get a 1 rather than a 100 because I didn't glue something.

He literally said for a different project that he doesn't want to focus on kindergarten things. For example, a first grader could do something easily, but our job is to mathematically prove why something works. But screw that, let's be a hypocrite! Let's focus only on cutting and gluing.

When you realise that the most widespread dev issue for the last month has been resolved because some company changed a colour

So many of the idiots at my school, when they grow up, want to do "something with computers". Wha? The concept of what you even do with a computer is so widely screwed up that kids think that is specific enough to plan their futures on. I suggest they actually learn minute enough of their future career to know what really they want to do, but I guess this would be too logical?

So this situation happened a while ago, but I am still pretty angry about it. I am learning Haskell, and it wasn't working, so I asked someone for help. Turns out, he had only been learning how to program for a couple weeks now, and as soon as he saw it, he burst out laughing.

He was making fun of me in the sense that I had only written one line (What?!) OKAY, first off, does this kid know what Haskell can do in one line? Much more than his beloved python, in which, the most complex thing this moron has made was a for loop. And second off, this kid is just like those retarded coworkers and bosses that measure productivity by lines.

I'm not gonna hate the kid because he's learning, but I can see he superiority growing a couple weeks in
God forbid he EVER takes this as a career option, else he may be the most arrogant, annoying human being alive.
