You're drunk and still you come up with better puns than me

@NiPfix Why do people film vertically? Users always find a way to use technology in a completely wrong and retarded way.

@NiPfix Maybe lossy compression was used to ensure real-time transmission of the joke. It could be a low-bandwidth connection with a lot of dropped packets! (Bt uses packets, right..?)

@gitpush Afaik Xamarin is based on mono. The UI is completely native, the logic runs inside the xamarin runtime environment and can then interface with the UI or platform-specific classes through bindings provided by Xamarin.

Edit: Performance should be a bit slower than native code but not much slower than normal c#. Don't quote me on that though, I've never really tested it because it was never a problem for me.

@gitpush The main advantage of Xamarin is that you only have to maintain a single code base for the client side logic. The only platform specific code is some light UI stuff, everything else is shared across all platforms. Supposedly, it helps with minimizing bugs, unifying and streamlining development, etc. For that to work though, you have to develop everything from ground up with this modularity in mind, otherwise it will end up in a clusterfuck. When it works, it's great though

Step 1: Inspect Element
Step 2: Edit Slider Value
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit

Why does the Java programmer wear glasses? Because he can't C#

@nicrob64 Welcome to devRant :)

@schlomm They hash every picture. If a pic with the same hash has been uploaded recently, it notifies you. The hashing is also why it can't detect reposts if the picture was resized

@Pgdevpatryk At least Corsair isn't cheap plastic shit with an apple-like markup price!

Oh man I need that Xamarin sticker for my laptop :D

@SlackOverflow #XPS15patriarchy!

@bloodygate2 I have adopted the habit of just sending out these passive aggressive lmgtfy.com links. The number of googleable questions I'm receiving is decreasing ever since.

@psfr937 That might work for distinct objects, but it won't be able to make blurry number plates readable or enhance a face consisting of 20 greyscale pixels.
The problem with either of these is that, unlike eyelashes, they are unique for every person and can therefore not be estimated. The same way you could not estimate somebody's fingerprint.

But still, the project looks really interesting!

@linuxer4fun Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope you two had a great time :)

@CWins "Can you enhance that?"
Biep biep biep - Done.

"Ok, can you run face recognition on him?"
Biep biep biiiieeep - His name is $genericRussianName!

"Our writer was too lazy to come up with an interesting way for us to catch the criminal so can you just please scan all the security cameras in the whole city for his face and give me his position in 3 seconds?"

Wow, that sounds like an awesome family :D

@Krokoklemme Yeah, I know salting, implemented such things a number of times. But it's only an optional step in hashing, it's not a cryptographic function. I just thought that needed clarification.

@Krokoklemme You mean hashes?

@mrmarbury Hehe, I will, for this time. 😉 But in case you feel the need for some vicarious embarrassment, the article is on heise. And I only scratched the surface, didn't want to read into it any further..

@runfrodorun Well I suppose you have a point there.

I've learned and always tried to maintain a static-ish style of coding, staying away from reflection and all these things you can do with jit compiling.

But I wouldn't say the language really encourages the usage of these edge-case solutions. E.g. anyone who gets the concept of an action object should know better than to have it as a property.

I personally find working with Java on Android _way_ worse. I helped out a buddy with an Android app (not developing Java at all myself) and he wanted to assign a list of controls defined in xml to objects.
After some googling I found no better solution than to construct the "id" string of the controls in a loop at runtime, then search the resources for the string to get the integer id of the controls that I can then pass to findviewbyid to get the object reference. Wtf.

Please please pretty please tell me I did that totally wrong and that is not the way its intended to work, at all. Please.

@mrmarbury That's just what I thought. I can post the link to the interview if you want, but it's German.

I just read that they want the next ones to be yet a day shorter. Also they want it to be more event-like with concerts and stuff to make it "fit for generation y"...

Pro tip:
There are lists of all the Microsoft win10 server ips that you can just paste in your hosts file to stop it from phoning home.
Check out SemperVideo, I think he explained it some time ago

@runfrodorun .Net is terribly designed and produces ugly code? How is that? Please enlighten me.

I think well written C# and F# can be quite beautiful and very powerful. But you can write ugly code in any language.

Oh and I agree with it being a tad overengineered, but when you're developing in quick iterations, it's nice to have all tools at your hands. The stuff is preinstalled on any windows machine anyways.

And last but by no means least, the msdn is just beautiful. If only every language had such documentation...

Just proxy the real Stackoverflow with the real questions to the user, but replace all answers with "use jQuery"

@pascalwacker That's... wow.
Is she even interested in the topic or is she one of those people who study cs just for the sake of studying / because they didn't get approved to any other courses?

I mean I could forgive her such beginner mistakes if she were genuinely trying, but it seems like she has no personal interest in programming at all.

Please don't censor yourself, this is devRant. The more swearing, the better.

Anyways, isn't there another place around to work at? Just switch.
Hope it'll work out for you. Fuck those people.

@pascalwacker How the fuck can one study cs and be too incompetent / lazy to help oneself?
I mean, searching the web for answers is a very important skill if you want to be a flexible and effective developer.

It's fucking Google, not magic ffs

"com.harambe..."
I see what you did there
