The only thing I didn't expect is I become the debugging duck ...

Can someone please explain the benefits of this in Kotlin:

var x = if(a !=b) {
z
}else{
y
}

Even for a conditions with one line body it looks bad in reading and getting a clue of what does this do.

I mean whats wrong with:
var x: MyObject

if(a!=b){
x = y
}else{
x = z
}

Even in switch cases (or as kotlin calls: when) True one return source, but now good luck finding the last line that is the actual returned value ...

Updated to Xcode 11.4, now git doesn't work and I need to download 1GB of Dev tools to get it working.

Xcode alone is 8GB wtf is included there if I still need to download more tools?

15yrs ago I used to quarantine viruses 😪

Now a viruse is quarantining me 😒

I sometimes read PR as pull request instead of Public Relations on LinkedIn 😅

What gets on my nerves 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

Please do it asap I'm sure it is a simple task

Q: Tell me about the app you made

Candidate: ahh...umm..tooot.toot

They make me feel like they just copy paste code to get the working version.

I feel bad when see people like this, collage costs a fortune and yet they don't teach students how to start and organize requirements

Anyone knows a good VPS provider based in Europe and respects privacy?

Just running gradle assemble on a project last updated 7 months ago ...

I decided to start learning Rust, mainly to work with REST API's, any recommendations? Or do I look out for another language?

Microservices

Lets take an example: Products service & orders service.

When I want to save an order for a user, data saved as
1. UserId, ProductId, Quantity, Date

Or
2. UserId, Name, Email, ProductId, ProductName, Quantity, Date

I'm a bit confused here because if I'm going to fetch that purchase, in example 1, it will return IDs requiring another trip to server to get user & product info

In example two it takes only one trip BUT if any changes is made to either user info or product info it means I'm returning wrong info to the user.

What do we do in this scenario? Excuse my questions first time applying Microservices and been using monolith all my life

Microservices authentication.

I'm planning on adopting Global Authentication and Authorization as a part of Microservices (described in the image below, propriety of: https://dzone.com/articles/...).

Anyone has a different opinion? What are your thoughts on this one?

Not sure if I'm sick or I'm actually in my full sense ....

I reached a point that I'm sick of all that million language to work with, maintain lots of shit, and started to consider using Flutter and get it done.

But I still don't like to build on these things because well, for the lots of trouble I went through in React Native, and yet again in Flutter having to modify several plug-ins because they don't support a simple feature as simple as Authentication header

I thought I'd give SwiftUI a go, but for a starter:
1. No pull to refresh
2. No proper grid (aka UICollectionView)
3. Comparing SwiftUI with Flutter, Google did a better job at keeping things simple
4. Only iOS 13+ supports SwiftUI, their statistics might show 90% using latest update, but that's their target audience, mine might be 90% not on latest update ...

Just some midnight thougts filled with frustration and wondering: How do web developers keep up with those "look ma! I made a new JS Framework!!" their life must be tougher ....

Came to work at 9, it is now 3, I have done nothing thanks to React native project screwed up just because I updated one dependency ....

And guess who's dependency it is: Facebook!

I've seen lots of other ranters complain about huge code files... I just came across 27k Javascript extension for a software like Postman ...

First I thought cool I can work on it since it's JS, then 27k of lines later: I think I'll go sleep .-.

Kubernetes question:
So far I've created two pods, mongo & Go
Exposed those pods using services

Their IP is 10.x.x.x and accessible from my machine only (virtual lan I'm guessing only known to host), but my machine's network ip is 192.x.x.x therefore, not accessible from outside world and to do so I need to put nginx in front to receive requests and route them internally.

Is there a way in kubernetes to make it work like nginx in terms of:

Kubernetes listen to port 80 (for example) route based on received url. As you know in enginx we define a server block with server domain_name.tld

Anything similar in kubernetes? I've cheked ingress-nginx controller, and also saw LoadBalancer but that requires a cloud provider.

If anyone can also give an example it would be great, so far examples I checked ended up screwing my setup and had to reset kubectl to get things back working

I think my server got hacked, yesterday I made a new server on scaleway for the sake of testing I made a user called dev, with password dev. Forgot to change password before I went to bed.

Logged in today to find that load is 5x.x and this (image) in my crontab

Note to self: You are a disgrace, who the hell uses 'dev' as password for ssh on port 22 -_-

I'm having this strange problem I cannot figure out:
2 Linux servers with docker
one of them acts as docker registry, the other either pull or push to that registry.

Pull works without issues.
Push: pushes to itself, the server is not pushing to docker registry even though the container is tagged with registry ip:port/name

Anyone has a clue, SO not being helpful on this :\

Only one, they gave me an example of a tiny service from their system to see how I would solve their problem as for the rest are about right a sort algo, find x from y, lame old questions .....

I saved myself headaches and whenever some one talks about this thing, I leave ...

Code gets complicated? Blame the one who forced that coding style in front of management and go to sleep peacefully.

Either work like an adult and accept criticism or go away and let me do what I'm paid for ...

What books do you guys recommend?
So far I read:
1. The Clean Architecture
2. Microservices Architecture (50% done, should be done in a week or two max)

I'm thinking of reading next:
Domain Driven Development

What do you think?

Finally got the hang of Go (I guess). Any recommendations for a newbie in Go?

Yesterday I wasted 2 hours because a bug in EF Core (https://devrant.com/rants/2323794/...)

Today I wasted another 2 hours because of a bug in Android Studio 3.5.2, which had a report only available in AS 3.6-alpha channel.

Dev life is wonderful huh?

https://issuetracker.google.com/iss...

Wasted two hours to end up finding out EF Core had a bug :\

Next time better blame Microsoft before blaming my code lol

At least it didn't happen on Friday night, or someone's weekend is crewed

I finally got the time for learning Go.
Anyways I'm reading this about packages, and made me wonder, what exactly a package is in terms of Go lang?

That example extracts two functions into a new package, and that made me confused

Excuse my question I might be the one to blame, but on Typescript 3.7 JSON.stringify parses numbers as strings, while on 3.4 it was working without issues.

I'm no pro in web dev but I did use JSON.stringify lots of times and that's something strange here, not sure what the cause is, but when I parse number props again using parseInt(value.toString()) it works .-.

Who at Microsoft thought that this is a good idea?

I wish I did not update, last update I did was a year ago and I was happy with it, now Windows feels like chaos ... Half the things are Dark themed and the other half is not. Lets see what the future holds

Also that Windows.old thing takes up 20GB that even if installation fails, it never succeeds in rolling back ... At least I was never able to rollback ...

Before update:
WhatsApp: Opens in literally one second

After Update:
Takes few seconds because of that brand new splashscreen -_-
And it looks ugly too ...

Welcome to cross platform UI Frameworks, where getting build number of your app requires a plugin *cough* flutter *cough*

But it comes in handy to write small apps and not waste time writing twice lol
