Watch as 24 tributes from the number of devRant users beat each other in this violent simulation. Introducing the 2nd week of craziness, now in entertaining video form! 🤣

And at this moment he knew...

Every Friday, we be playing. Custom word collection, challenging topics, teamwork!
Join the party! 😄🎉

In today's episode of dR Hunger Games...

Dang, dR Meetup 5/6 was a super fantastic game night! 😄
Mostly, we played Codenames, in which the host brought custom dictionary of programming terms.

⭐🗓 Join us for more events: https://devrant.com/collabs/3221539
Press the 🔔s and you won't miss any!

We're declaring an active season of events at dR Community Server! 🎉 https://devrant.com/collabs/...

Join our guild of 100+ members to get hold of fresh ideas and game events tailored for active devRant community. You are welcome to organize your own events in here.

Showcasing notable userscripts or projects every week. Cohesive threads and always enough channels for everything you like, all await you at dRCS. 😄

Unironically, Fireship's "React for the Haters in 100 Seconds" is a treat.

CSS Challenges Diff View (Userscript)

CSSBattle leaderboards are meaningless. CSS code golf makes no sense whatsoever!

Guess, I'm slithering my way out from "tough dev days" by mentoring. I tell you, it's very convenient.

Got kinda addicted to video editing recently 😁

Tired of having to copy-paste channel names in YouTube stream live chat for proper mentioning? Here's the thing for you.

Use Violentmonkey or Tampermonkey to embed this userscript.

Also, fuck you, YouTube. Fix your shit already!

I find it insightful when people actually convert their rant into a knowledge bomb 💣💥😅 https://hackersandslackers.com/flas...

Finally getting to know clear advantages of "application factory" over how Flask apps are usually sugar-coated in scarce tutorials.

This article also points out one of the core problems with Flask documentation and, consequently, a public view on Flask's feature parity with Django.

Ever wondered why it's looked upon as not very strong rival to Django? That's documentation... again, we come to that 😔⌨️🗑 It stretches a lot of commentary and side notes, but forgets to mention best practices from community.

"This page looks better in the app"

No, it f**king doesn't! I checked it, you lazy analytics-hungry monstrosity.

Who led this flattening user input object into the Next.js codebase, also thinking that `runContext` is going to make better companion than `eval`?

Yet another reason to switch over Sapper and other Svelte minimalistic solutions, in my opinion.

Who asked for RedDatabase and RedXpert? You guessed it - nobody 😑 It's a buggy Firebird and DBeaver domestic knock-off!

My student was assigned with making Flask app by "simple" requirements. But guess what? We can't figure out hecking RedDatabase?! Figures out that they sent incompatible *.fdb database file, on which we wasted entire 3 hours troubleshooting obscure error, while clean database doesn't cause any trouble.

Last error that completely drained us is following:
"""
Reason: unsupported on-disk structure for file /var/rdb/test.fdb; found 12.3, support 12.2; IProvider::attachDatabase failed when loading mapping cache [SQLState:HY000, ISC error code:335544379]
"""

So now, he basically recreates database by scheme on image. What also shady seems to me is that application also has to deployed on virtual OS which he can bring on USB stick or by cloud later.

Wdym I just wrote the entire curriculum in one day?! 😅

♫ It's high time we reviewed our design, ♫
♫ The code behind our system is just too byzantine, ♫
♫ We'll rewrite all the legacy and take it off line, ♫

You've got to be kidding?

In case of hot debates...

We can't have good things, can we, SVG implementations??? Apparently, I can't re<use> anything from adjacent file, because only Inkscape understands it. Or to seek support in browser, server is required to see a group from one SVG file in another. Why?

I want to make a game that collects a lot of questions for reuse and where players answer these one after another to make up the most dumb funny stories. Alas, it's in planning stage now.

♫ HEY! CODERS! Email and go home! ♫

For those who whine about authors putting "TL;DR" after the text that was supposed not to be necessarily read...

"TL;DR" means "Too long; didn't read". Hence, we have all the audacity to insert it *after* the long text. When you don't have time to read, you usually scroll to bottom and find a summary if any.

At least, scrolling can be done even by monke and author can concentrate on writing the streams of text to their heart's content instead of fishy semantics.

Video adaptation of the rant from @Wisecrack - https://youtu.be/_zo7mMeH2xU

Have fun watching 😁

Today I tried teaching a 36 years old student about HTML and layout. My inner self is always restless for practice as an excuse for less talking, but in the end I end up doing even more talking and getting kinda embarrassed.

Good thing is that student understood everything well enough in this 1 hour. I also inserted some good stuff: tips and tricks, conventions mentioned, trends... He even craved for more information.

I'm going to prepare to make further studies more fruitful, because the next synopses won't be as theoretical as today's one.

If you ever make rating request pop up when user makes something else, I SWEAR TO GEEBUS, I'll make you regret your life choices!

It feels very satisfying to write out 20 user stories without overly complex sentence structure.

Open source software repositories don't deserve contributors like JamesCrook. It's a shame, really, that maintenance befalls on them.

TFW video freezes because of buffering and plays after a minute of waiting, then 5 seconds later buffering starts again. Gee, I just want you to keep playing whatever is possible, not stare at the screen poorly awaiting next 5 seconds of content! Rewind a bit, I dunno, just don't tease me like that...
