Ranters this week

Why does getting an avatar needs 10+ devrant points?

I just came here to read rants.

At least they have a bit of humor with it...

Learning javaScript on monday
Damn

Had yet another devrant script idea, now whenever you click outside the textbox on accident, it will be saved and restored, once you return to it on the same page.

In fact, if you're reading this - this rant has been tested with it and survived.

Good job, Lenovo

Today, I learned the shortest command which will determine if a ping from your machine can reach the Internet:

ping 1.1

This parses as 1.0.0.1, which thanks to Cloudflare, is now the IP address of an Internet-facing machine which responds to ICMP pings.

Oh, you can also use this trick to parse 10.0.0.x from `10.x` or 127.0.0.1 from `127.1`. It's just like IPv6's :: notation, except less explicit.

This is dangerous

print("Hello World!")

I just realized that href stands for hyper reference.

im lowkey dying

Shit happens... but never let your shit go to far... specially while in production or drunk.

What a nice trip to Italy. So tempting to ask someone who was so active

True story...

I realize I've ranted about this before, but...

Fuck APIs.

First the fact that external services can throw back 500 errors or timeouts when their maintainer did a drunk deploy (but you properly handled that using caching, workers, retry handlers, etc, right? RIGHT?)...

Then the fact that they all speak a variety of languages and dialects (Oh fuck why does that endpoint return a JSON object with int keys instead of a simple array... wait the params are separated with pipe characters? And the other endpoint uses SOAP? Fuck I need to write another wrapper class around the client...)

But the worst thing: It makes developers live in this happy imaginary universe where "malicious" is not a word.

"I found this cloud service which checks our code style" — hmm ok, they seem trustworthy. Hope they don't sell our code, but whatever.

"And look at this thing, it automatically makes database backups, just have to connect to it to DigitalOcean" — uhhh wait...

"And I just built this API client which sends these forms to be OCR processed" — Fuck... stop it... there are bank accounts numbers on those forms... Where's that API even located? What company?

* read their privacy policy *

"We can not guarantee the safety of your personal data, use at your own risk [...] we are located in Russia".

I fucking hate these millennial devs who literally fail to get their head out of the cloud.

Somehow they think it's easier to write all these NodeJS handlers and layers around some API, which probably just calls ImageMagick + Tesseract on the other side.

If I wasn't so fucking exhausted, I'd chop of their heads... but they're like hydra, you seal one privacy breach and another is waiting to be merged, these kids just keep spewing their crap into easy packages, they keep deploying shitty heroku apps... ugh.

- Which operating system do you have? Windows?
- Nah, I have LibrOffice

If you weren't my sister I would have slapped you.

Ok ok, PHP is the best!! Ok?

What ya think?

Why PHP developers drive Audi?

Just applied to a new job with this as my cover letter.
Wish me luck!

hello

test

i really hate when i have to read someone else's shity code ... I'd rather write the entire code from scratch -_- !

I go to college online and I was really excited to start my classes for my major as I finally wrapped up general ed classes. This is a week 1 assignment for Introduction to Computer Science....

Today I'm trying to study how to encode data in idx-ubyte format for my machine learning project.
Professors I'm going to astonish you!

Good day and good coding to all of you! :)

How developers take Mirror Selfies !

What are those points i need for my avatar?

Just because Facebook/Google/Apple are doing something, it doesn't mean it's the future of technology.

No, we're not going to throw out large parts our perfectly good tech stack just because you liked their latest blog post.

If you wanted to always play "follow the shiny thing", you should have become a jeweller. Please learn what independent thought is and how to apply it, the results might surprise you!

Finally some luck
