What are the odds for this to happen

Seems like we are only getting ++ notifications currently. I think I should've gotten notifications for mentions and new comments on rants I've posted on since the last 12h, but I only have ++ notifications. Can anyone else confirm?

I came across this blog (I guess) that's mostly critique about the security of major open source projects. The author claims to be a security researcher.

At least some of the claims seem to have merit, but how much? Opinions?

Your time is not limited except by birth and death. What actually defines what you do are other limitations and your priorities.

Thank you, thank you, thank you

I found a spammer account with each of its about 20 comments containing a link to some fishy site. After giving -- to most of its comments I noticed that its ++ count had gone back to what it was when I started. So my use of the -- button got banned. What's the point?

What's up with the supporter badge?

Anyone else noticed this on Chrome mobile? If you stay still long enough on a website and try to scroll up, you will refresh instead.

Maybe this is a dirty fix to some security issue?

So I've made a couple of these meme modifications already but the rants I post them into tend to get deleted. To avoid wasting the couple minutes of my work, I'll post them under this rant.

As a tribute to Alice's fun discoveries, here's my discovery.

If you choose the weekly rant banner on the rant feed and open the rant which is showing at the top of your screen, you will see a ghost of the banner while the rant is loading.

The one that never leaves the backing sheet

More code, less dating.

A project at work which is based on blindly copying other projects, empty catch clauses, a static class for global variables, and incompetence.

I recently fucked my pc up by installing the latest AMD drivers. Couldn't get past the lock screen.

I tried to revert to a restore point but, well, it failed and the installation would not boot at all afterwards.

Thanks a fuck ton, AMD and MS.

Mobile notifications just went bananas

Meetings truly bring up the best parts of you.

This is a trick question. My dev life is my social one.

What happened to @senzory? Who licked his toe gaps and ate his comments raw?

I got travel advertisments on my Windows 10 lock screen. I didn't remember how to get rid of them, so I had to search for it again. I was lead to this piece of fine irony on my screen.

Staring at it felt like staring at the concept of art while it's staring back. This experience left me emotional.

Thank you Microsoft and Windows Central. Thank you art, life, and love. Thank you ads.

@linuxxx were you involved? 😆

Why are all these colours so ugly bright? Why no custom colours?

So there was this rant: "I have a beard now" but by the time I wrote my comment it was gone. So why not make it a dedicated story of its own. This was partially in response to @Floydian who asked if he grew it overnight.

It's the remarkable moment:
1) It's been a while since you shaved and you will return to work/school/wherever today/tomorrow, so you pick up the razor.
2) You look at the mirror and like what you see so you just return the razor to its place.
3) ???
4) Still have beard when you leave the house.

A friend of mine had a MacBook. She had a DSLR too and she used some software on her mac to transfer the files on it.

At one point she ran out of space and thought that it's a good idea to uninstall that software as a temporary solution. The software took all her childhood pictures with it.

Me: "Delete this folder"
Windows: "Oki, done."
Me: "How is it still there, F5. Still there! Hey, you forgot to delete this one file. Fix it."
Windows: "Nope."
Me: "Why?"
Windows: "Requires permissions."
Me: "Eh, it was my file, but here you are, my admin credentials."
Windows: "None shall pass."
Me: "Wtf, this is my computer. Who owns this file?"
Windows: "No one."
Me: "What do you mean? Oh, time for your reboot pills, ms. Wandows."
Windows: "Noooooo... ... ... Welcome."
Me: "Ha, the file is gone. Glorious victory."
Windows: "It's just a flash wound."

TIL you can open C Studio Visual (*.csv) files in other programs too! How cool is that!
