This phising email I just received in my yahoo account almost got me fooled with the very convincing email design, but thankfully the culprit didn't smart enough to spoof his email address.
Ohh and they attach a suspicious pdf file too despite the message didn't say anything about attachment.
Apparently the spam detector in yahoo is not very good as this one was received in my main inbox.

Best python plugins for Vim?
Any suggestions?

"If it’s a good idea and it gets you excited, try it, and if it bursts into flames, that’s going to be exciting too. People always ask, ‘What is your greatest failure?’ I always have the same answer—We’re working on it right now, it’s gonna be awesome!" - Jim Coudal

Boring. Overused.

If you haven't tried Svelte yet, then try it. (not sponsored, I love Svelte <3)

Read "How to implement a programming language" (http://lisperator.net/pltut) and it was very cool and enlightening. I have decided to use what I learned to make a math evaluator with a proper lexer and extensible library and stuff like that. Not a full programming language but a nice and advanced math evaluator.

Today I discovered by myself that...

...in a shell...

...when entering a password (e.g. ssh)...

...and you make a typo... 🤦‍♂️

...you don't need to smack that backspace key like a maniac! You can just use the clear line shortcut: control+U (^U). This clears all input to the left of your cursor and this also works for passwords.

Since we devs are masters of the weird - I thought: "why not make a collection of weird things?".

I’ve been programming for 20 years now. My friends and family never really understood what I did back in the days. And they still don’t.
All they saw was a kid who was good with computers. Your friendly neighborhood tech guy who would take a look at your computer for free.
I’m sure most of you have been in the same situation.

When people ask me what I do for a living. I’d just say “something with computers”. Because most of the time they will ask me to look at their computers and I’d reply with “oh that’s not what I do”.

When I was younger, I’d try to explain what I actually do for a living. To really tell people the problems we as a programmer solves on a daily basis or the things we create. That’s really hard to explain to “common” people.

So whenever someone asks me what I do for a living? It’s always something with computers ;)

1. The quality of the coffee and toilet paper you encounter during an interview tells you more than promises about table tennis or fruit baskets.

2. Try to determine who their primary client is: subscribers, app buyers, advertisers, etc. It's a major influence on the company dynamic.

3. Before an interview, you can just say: "I would like to sit down with a PO and run through one backlog feature and one bug, to get a feel for the type of tasks at the company". Such an activity immediately reveals team structure, whether they have product owners & scrum masters, what a sprint looks like, how they prioritize tasks, and how organized/chaotic your work experience will be.

and before thy kingdom; there is a great invisible path which is yet to be discovered; with fog and obstacles; and thou who dares to fight through it with abundance and persistence; thy shall acquire thee kingdom

Based on the writing style I wouldn't be surprised if someone on devrant was the author

Has been a long time since I'm appreciating working with GRPC.

Amazingly fast and full-featured protocol! No complaints at all.

Although I felt something was missing...
​

Back in the days of HTTP, we were all given very simple tools for making requests to verify behaviours and data of any of our HTTP endpoints, tools like curl, postman, wget and so on...

This toolset gives us definitely a nice and quick way to explore our HTTP services, debug them when necessary and be efficient.
​

This is probably what I miss the most from HTTP.
​

When you want to debug a remote endpoint with GRPC, you need to actually write a client by hand (in any of the supported language) then run it.
​

There are alternatives in the open source world, but those wants you to either configure the server to support Reflection or add a proxy in front of your services to be able to query them in a simpler way.
​

This is not how things work in 2018 almost 2019.
​

We want simple, quick and efficient tools that make our life easier and having problems more under control.
​

I'm a developer my self and I feel this on my skin every day. I don't want to change my server or add an infrastructure component for the simple reason of being able to query it in a simpler way!

However, This exact problem has been solved many times from HTTP or other protocols, so we should do something about our beloved GRPC.
​

Fine! I've told to my self. Let's fix this.
​

A few weeks later...

I'm glad to announce the first Release of BloomRPC - The first GRPC Client GUI that is nice and simple,

It allows to query and explore your GRPC services with just a couple of clicks without any additional modification to what you have running right now! Just install the client and start making requests.
​

It has been built with the Electron technology so its a desktop app and it supports the 3 major platforms, Mac, Linux, Windows.
​

Check out the repository on GitHub: https://github.com/uw-labs/bloomrpc

This is the first step towards the goal of having a simple and efficient way of querying GRPC services!
​

Keep in mind that It is in its first release, so improvements will follow along with future releases.

Your feedback and contributions are very welcome.

If you have the same frustration with GRPC I hope BloomRPC will make you a bit happier!

Not sure whether to tag this as a rant or a joke, because it feels like equal parts of both. So fucking disappointed with Australian government.

"witty job advertisment" compiler errors! [more details]

After seeing @Gregozor2121 share, I searched around in my bookmarks for similar stuff. Here are a couple of links that I feel is useful for everyone:

A massive list of Free programming books.
https://ebookfoundation.github.io/f...
(Also do explore anything marked as "awesome", cause it literally is awesome!! They have got tons of lists of resources for most programming languages, free software lists, famous stackoverflow answers, quotes & even Pokemon!!)

I also had this bookmarked:
https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh
Basically cheat sheets at your command line. Pretty neat utility.

From the Gods of The Stack Overflow for the pesants of the community:

https://goalkicker.com

Just go there. This is everything you have to know, ever.

Do you guys know any good certification to ensure my (hypothetically) eligibility as a developer?

निम्न (Nimn) schema less data. 80% smaller than XML, 60% smaller than JSON. [more details]

I received this special picture per WhatsApp. It changes its color the first time while downloading and the second time after you tap on it.
It goes from about #ff96e1 to #42000d

(Yes, I know these Thumbnail-Faker but in this case it keeps changing its color even after opening and closing the pic multiple times)

I did not find anything by inspecting it on PC...

Does anyone have an idea how it works?

Been torrenting for many years by now, but somehow never heard about sonarr. Just got it set up, and holy crap it's amazing!

ignorant bitches

My new phone will (as a default feature) discover the devices that my housemate is using to stream content on the WiFi network - and let me control them.

Right now, I think he's getting ready for bed, but he left the player paused instead of turning it off.

Let the fun and hilarity ensue.

I stumbled apon this software called vavoo.to, whith this you can watch Movies, Series, Live TV and more just started to reverse the apk.

Now out of curiosity how the fuck are they doing this with Live TV without hosting it themselves.

They also sell legally their own Android TV boxes with the pirated content from Switzerland. Why can they do this without being fucked from behind??

I will find it out eventually but this is interesting to reverse.

Thanks Google translate, that is exactly what I needed to here!! 😂😂

After countless Google searches for the past 3 years, I've written a small script to get my internal & external IP addresses with one command!

I remember that time, when a pretty big customer bought a tiny server from us and proceeded with setting up their tiny website.

Everything went smooth a smoothsauce until that day they decided to send a newsletter to 3 million subscribers - a complete nice email with alot of html and elements that was hosted on that tiny server.
The fact that most phones do download the emails with the attachment (pictures, html and shit) when the email arrive did they not know about. But sure - they atleast learnt something that day.

That shitty server died.

I prefer ByteBucket rather than BitBucket.
