Todays wtf:

My hometown's official website has a "report a problem"-form where citizens can report their problems. Fair enough, but instead of having some textfield(s) for me to describe the address and/or location they instead provide a dropdown-list with *all* possible addresses (street&number) in town... the html source of that page weighs in at about 4.5MB(!)

Hello guys,
The next episode of the Runtimerror Live Podcast will be having our very own David and Tim as special guests.
Are there any questions that you would want us to ask them during the interview?

The episode will release tomorrow at 7 AM EST :)
(the first episode can be found here: https://runtimerror.com/podcast/... )

How to get your money from a difficult client.

We have a lot of monitoring screens on walls at my work... Some of them show charts... The one showing the last two months of mailbox database growth has started taking an odd shape.

This is how cables are meant to be! 😍

Just finished the new voting system for the school representative of my school, tomorrow ~600 students (including me) will use it, feels good! :)

Btw, I'm 16

Also, I am working on another project if anyone wants to take a look and give me some design feedback, as I learned everything I know by myself (It's in German though, I'm from Austria)

Just because you're special doesn't mean that you are useful!!

Fcknlol!

Life when you didn't know about browsers developer tools

First laugh then comment 😂😂😂

Use Vim. What could happen?...

I put an Easter egg into a product, that if you enter the string "final countdown" into the stock code search field, it plays a YouTube vid of Europe's "The Final Countdown", in a hidden div. It's an in-joke for a few people in the company.

A well meaning maintainer with no sense of humour or judgement takes over and goes on the warpath against any hardcoded strings. The secret code gets moved into a config file.

A third developer changes the deployment script so that it clears any configs that aren't explicitly set in the deployment settings.

So the secret code is now "".

Literally every PC in the stock buying department is now blaring out "The Final Countdown" at top volume.

...Except none of them have speakers, so it remains this way for over a year and two more changes of maintainer.

I just noticed this afternoon and quietly re-hardcoded the string. The buying dept.'s PCs will silently sing no more.

This is one of the best explanation I have ever seen for the difference between SIGTERM and SIGKILL.
