I removed a sleep(1) call from the main loop of a chat server I wrote and sped it by a factor of a few hundred. :)

If all goes as planned, I'll be able to graduate University a year early. :D

I swear these underclassmen are in a contest to see how many unique one letter variable names they can come up.

Just found out a professor of mine "secures" each student's personal grades by appending a string made up of four random lowercase letters + four random digits (i.e. abcd1234) to the end of a URL.
🙃

Client: I would like to subcontract for this area you don't have much experience in.
Me: Alright, sounds good.
Client: Ok, so you can get that job ad up on the sites you use (Upwork / ODesk) over the weekend and we can meet again the same time next week. Sound good?
Me:

I've seen people posting their own convoluted ways to find out whether or not a number is even, so here's mine. :-P

What's generally considered the best (in terms of cost and compatibility) phone to flash a custom rom to? My current one is filled with bloatware that I can't uninstall and the bootloader is locked.

*client calls*
Me: Hello?
Client: Hi, I have some questions about the project.
Me: Alright, what are they?
Client: I don't quite remember what my questions are.

What? Then why did you call me?

I feel terrible asking this because I feel like I should be able to figure it out if it's possible, but is there a way to have the devRant UWP app extend to fill my screen? That's one of the things I really liked about it before because it seemed so spacious. :/

That feeling when you still have to use C++98 in all your classes at University. 😐

Hello C++ / C programmers. I've noticed my professor putting the ASCII code of a character into an int instead of just using a char to store it. When he does this he's not doing math or anything with them, so is there any advantage to it? My TA mentioned something about memory alignment, but I'm not experienced enough to know how something being aligned differently in memory would help or hurt a program.

Fuck man! Let ME communicate with the other devs who worked on this project. I know you mean well, but when you can't remember the difference between Java and JavaScript, you aren't going to be able to effectively communicate technical details back and forth.

FUCK! The fucking previous dev on this project who set up the fucking web service that he knew would be shared among multiple platforms set it up to use an audio format that's only supported on one platform. Now I'm faced with either doing some fucking JS black magic to decode the fucking base64 audio, convert it to another audio format, and then possibly re-encode it or attempting to re-write the fucking web service and already in production app! Fucking hell!

Why do we take tests on paper? No offense professor, but if all I have is a sheet of paper to program on I'm out of a job!

What options do I have to develop for iOS if I can't afford a Mac?

Things I have come to expect in my future since being on DevRant: shitty timelines, both funny and cruel office pranks, PMs who have no idea what they are actually managing, clients and some coworkers not knowing what my time and work is worth, merge conflicts for reasons unknown

Student walks into tutoring center halfway through the semester for a computer science appointment and their first question is "How do I declare an int?"
Me: 😐
