devRant UI is getting old imo

For those of you who complain about the auto update "feature"

!rant

Just sharing a project I submitted to college. It is not done. It's a LAN messenger written in java swing.

Windows Subsystem for Linux should at least support mounting Linux filesystems inside those subsystems.

Got my stickers

What??? Xamarin is acquired by Microsoft??
😥🤯😠😠

Is there a collaborative tool to make a project plan, with UI mockups and other designs? Not a something like issue tracker or project timeline.

!rant

Here is a challenge for all programmers.

When you make a mistake, instead of backspacing or correcting, just comment out and redo. And then see the result at the end.

Got my new mechanical (gaming) keyboard. I don't play games though.

I am doing a diploma right now. Current module is called "website design using Dreamweaver".

And the lecturer be like "Dreamweaver is the best IDE"

Is there a devRant web app?

Published a package on packagist and checking install count every few hours.

I work in a place where I don't have ssh access to the web server. No proper use of composer. I have to pull packages to my local machine and upload through ftp.

Is it possible to follow a TensorFlow guide/tutorial without complex mathematics knowledge?

Does, running a php script every 5 seconds as a background process, takes up the whole memory allocated for the process that runs php-fpm and stop serving to apache?

(I don't really know what I am talking about)

Go learn some English, Acer

Recent experience (#2)
- a cousin wanted to reinstall Windows on his laptop
- gave it to a tech shop
- they couldn't, said hard disk faulty
- I took the laptop hoping that it's just a partition table issue
- I tried changing partition table from MBR to GPT, but failed
- removed his hard disk from his laptop and plugged into mine
- tried and failed
- so I thought I would give it a chance with Ubuntu
- tried and ... 👍
- reinstalled his hard disk in his laptop
- works like a charm
- want to see what complaints he comes up with
- he is not a tech guy
- let's see how he manages to use it for his daily tasks

Recent experience:

- Installed openSUSE Tumbleweed
- Installed mariadb
- Tried to start the service (several times) with failure
- Searched online, made adjustments as per the suggestions. No luck
- Reinstalled related packages
- Tried again and failed
- Deleted everything in /var/lib/mysql
- Tried again ... and 👍

Just sharing

Yesterday I helped in a college final project. To be done using PHP and MySQL.

- they were taught to create a login page and when submitted just check the values against username and password from DB table and redirect to a dashboard page. No session created.
- in the dashboard, session is not checked. Shows links to other pages.
- each page is a separate php file
- the app allows users to issue books to customers. They were taught to delete the book from book table and save all the info in issue table, when a book is issued
- when a book is returned, book info is saved in a return table and also saved to book table again and deleted from issue table

I asked this student to change it to the right way, to use sessions and includes. He said that then the lecturer would know, he didn't do the project. It's a diploma level course.

Am I the only one that thinks that there should be, a preview of the comment that's being replied to, inside the reply?

Is it good to be able to reach work within 5 minutes from home? Because I do.

Am I the only one that skips a rant when they see the [read more] link (or whatever)?

"There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer"

I don't understand this statement. Could someone please explain.

In the course of our development, one day we switched to a different, more elegant bootstrap theme. One of our users called me to appreciate the improvement. He said, the new firmware on the system looks great.

We are a web developer team of 4 people. The system we manage is huge because it's a huge organization.

We use php.

Requirements grow rapidly and debugging became a nightmare. So we decided to move from procedural to OOP to ease it a bit.

And we have this one guy in our team (joined recently) who doesn't understand the benefits of following OOP. He is the one who manages most side projects among us too.

We have tried hard to convince him and now we have almost given up.

So I am asking you guys, please give me some ideas of how we could convince him to learn and follow OOP.

I learnt a bit of Java recently. I wish I didn't. Because I primarily work with php. Now I kind of dislike php.

This is what happened. I had Linux on my machine. I wanted to show off. So I asked my friend to give me a flash drive with full of viruses which will kill HIS machine if plugged in. Wanted to show that Linux is superior. So he handed me a flash drive. And while he was watching, I plugged it into my machine, proudly. Alas, my machine was dead in half a second. I was like, WTF man. I asked him, "what runs on your machine?". He replied, "freaking Linux"

(this is not a true story) :p

What if storage capacity is a myth?

Me to my team:

Let's cook some rice this time. Instead of spaghetti. Grains would be separate from each other if we use the right ingredients.

Not long ago I claimed that I don't like KDE Plasma. And now I am using it as my only DE and realize what I was missing out.
