I was so close to switching to windows until this automated update just prevented me from working all morning....

Why feel the need to call them dashboards, platforms, web apps?

They're websites

I hit a new low

>> "Did I actually say that..."

When I see a ranter whose avatar looks like mine...

At the gym:
Eleven hundred
Eleven hundred one
Eleven hundred ten
Eleven hundred eleven

DevRant remains the only app in my "fun" folder.

Okay... Complexity Theory.
Polynomial time
Nondeterministic Polynomial time

If not now, when you first learned of P and NP, it's time for you to share what you thought P and NP were acronyms for.

If I just try another way to do the same thing my broken code tries to do, either the new version makes my mistake obvious or everything just works.

Is this debugging? It's just rewriting. It seems faster than debugging.

Pretty sure I saw a video ad on gitsoft today. It disappeared after 500 milliseconds or so.

Are there sunglasses that selectively allow light from LED monitors?

Anyone reading "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber? My job is not the duct-taping or box-ticking described in the book, but I'm catching myself too often seeing my job as buying 40 hours of my time each week instead of my actual development work.

“if an ancient Greek or Roman saw a potter, he could imagine buying his pots. He could also imagine buying the potter—slavery was a familiar institution in the ancient world. But he would have simply been baffled by the notion that he might buy the potter’s time.”

Do I want to go into research or industry? I must only answer which is funnier "PhD Comics" or "CommitStrip."

This is the way to decide things.

Arrive to work 30 minutes earlier than usual. Can anyone actually code in direct sunlight?

Is it cool to abbreviate "proficient" as "prof" on a business card?.. As in:
"prof. in software engineering"

So some voicemail systems let you press * to attempt to enter a pin to access the whole inbox. I bet you could even brute force it, as there are only 1000 possible pins.

Anyone have a classifier trained to flag shit comments for review?

Friend keeps gold coin in case the economy tanks. I have a home git server in case the Internet goes down.

I never used Windows 7 or 8, and I forget I am not playing Xbox each time I use Windows 10.

Compared to Vista, I am very impressed with Windows 7! It can still run VS 2017. I know, I'm a little late to the party.

Trolling? Unsure... do appreciate the help though!

Is there a search engine indexing pages that work without JavaScript?
Why?
- I use the Lynx text-mode browser
Why else? Maybe I'm naïve:
- At least without JavaScript the advert/tracking methods will not slow load times or break the page.
- This may be a nice way to highlight websites that don't have time to join an SEO/analytics arms race.

Only open source projects under a CC-BY-SA 3.0 license can legally use even one line of StackOverflow.

That site's user contributions are all under a free license that demands all copies to use the same license. Does someone know if I'm wrong on this?

Frustrated when a project only builds on a given super huge IDE framework + OS combo.

Is Google pushing Bitcoin? The AMP has been overwhelmingly positive during the entire bit-cession.

DevMD. Anyone know a good little finger prosthetic? I have a CAPSLOCK hyperkey.

It is now exercise to keep my left hand flat and it reflexively clenches into a fist. Please help.

So -site:google.com -site:huffpost.com still fails to block Huffpost* AMP content.

*and so on for any publisher
