What's the point of writing it in YAML if you are going to use grep and sed to parse it?

[OC] Evolution of a bug

I get that this was a small team when they developed this and there was no coding guidelines...
But, using spaces and tabs in the same file is just unacceptable!!

An OSS library made me learn a new language and I am so happy it did!

I came across a well implemented System Verilog parser written in Rust. It was so good to see someone putting in the effort to write that library, I wanted to contribute to it. I had zero knowledge in Rust but I thought, what the heck, let me learn it.

And man it was a steep learning curve. After a 2 weeks or so, now I have very basic understanding of the language. What better way to learn something than just diving into an actual project?

So, today I raised an issue to the developer for a possible improvement to the library. I hope he accepts it

What's for indentation in this language, tabs or spaces? 😂

Over heard my coworkers talk about my open source project: "ya that's the best there is"

I am just so happy 😊😊😊

Get ready for another round of "Oh they changed the logo"!😂

Not before long, I guess we may have to put up with bots during code review...😂

My team has been using CVS for ages. I'm new to the team and can't imagine how my colleagues are working in this environment. I am thinking of proposing to change to git.

I found this amazing video of Linus explaining to Google engineers why git is better and I thought I'll show it to them:

What do you guys say about my idea? Do you have anything that can help me?

I came across a website today when I was searching for some banking related stuff on Google and this is what happened...

Types search term in Google
Gets the results
Opens a result in a new tab
Finishes reading it and clicks back
Tab refreshes to go the website's home page (What!?)
Clicks back again
Refreshes to the same result page (seriously?)
Back
Home page
Back
Result
Back
.
.
.
.
Back
Google home page (wtf?)
Back
Website home page (again?)
Back
Result page (NO! I'M DONE)
Closes the tab

What sort of wicked loop did I get myself into? Did the website devs ever think how frustrated it will be if they ever open their own page?

And what a clever technique to open Google home page for people who keep on pressing the back button! 👏👏 /s

This happened sometime back..

A guy came to our university with a social network that he created. It was for students and professors to interact, to form study groups and earn points as they mark done topic as "studied". He made a deal with our university, so everyone was forced to sign up for this.

While he was giving a demo of the website, me and my friend started ranting.

"This website is shit. Why are we forced to use this?"

"This UI looks just like LinkedIn"

"This top bar is right out of bootstrap"

"I have seen that graph in one of the libraries. He didn't even change the defaults."

Another friend who was sitting besides us was hearing all this.

"I don't understand a word you guys are talking. It is too high level for me"

We replied, "Don't worry. We will talk in low level. 00101110010101..."

A brilliant article that talks on the state of internet

Tldr: as internet speed increased, page loading time did not decrease because the extra bandwidth is being stuffed with unnecessary big scripts and autoplaying videos.

I'm as nervous as a guy who just proposed.

I had been contributing to a vs code extension for more than 6 months now. And my contributions were good. Recently I put forth few plans for the development of the extension to the repo owner and he accepted it.

One of the ideas is to ask the owner of another similar repo to merge with us and help us make the best there is.

I had just sent a detailed mail to him and waiting for a reply. Hope he says yes 🙈

I wish Outlook had autocomplete...

Isn't it time even Word and other apps support basic autocomplete..?

I HATE it when I give my phone to my friends for like 2 mins and they clear my notifications and recent apps while giving back!

Why bro?

Microsoft finally makes Windows Explorer dark after 3 years! I can rest peacefully today.

Was trying to build a toolchain when I saw this in the FAQ...

I'm not a web dev but I am pretty sure it is not so easy!
TNW just lost it's respect from me for this click bait!

What do you call a group of programmers with mutant powers?

Hex Men!!

Then what is the use of compression?

PS: the file list goes on...

Off all the websites out there, I think GitHub should know the importance of having a dark theme for the site!

It's 1 am and the night is still fresh..

Out of curiosity,

Any HDL programmers here? Verilog, VHDL, Bluespec,... Anyone?

Do you people anything about a processor with a firewall?

Because I just saw an episode of Arrow where they were trying to break into such a firewall!

Should I tell him?

I would like to add a new word to the devrant glossary, next to !rant

Recursive rant - rant about another rant

Any one interested in building a devrant glossary with me? Comment the words you like to add 😅
