Hey, I have a quick question for developers in Barcelona. For out study association, we're trying to organize a week long trip, in which we want to visit some companies. But we're having a bit of a hard time finding interesting companies, so if you are (or know) someone at a tech-company in Barcelona, I'd love to get in touch.

Why do people write code like this? And this guy isn't even an intern or new!

I hate it when an opinion is valued by someone seniority.
Sure, you might not like react, fine, but if your only argument for that is it being built by Facebook, you're just an ass.
Sure, you might not like node, fine, but if your only argument for that is your prejudice towards javascript , you're just an ass.

Normally this guy is pretty nice, but fuck you for talking about shit you don't understand

So my housemate bought a violin. Gone are the days of quiet programming.

(No he is not some kind of virtuoso, even a woodpecker would play it better.)

Just a quick question, does anyone actually use Java servlets? My professor says that it is still in active use, but I can't believe that such an asinine system is still in use besides legacy systems.

Not quite a rant, but it does annoy me to no end.

The algorithm strikes again. (See the ++'d rants.)

@dfox, there's still occasionally some weird stuff happening when my phone is on rotate. (Sadly I don't know how I did this.)
I'd be glad to help if you need anything from me.

Uhm, @dfox, minor UI bug, happend after rotating my screen.

So a Windows update has fixed my linux. Don't ask me how that worked. Really, how?

I've been wondering something lately: how would one go about creating a secure evoting system?
In 1,5 month there will be elections in the Netherlands. In 2009 the government tried to introduce an evoting system, which was blocked. But behind the scenes, the system is still used. But this system is an absolute piece of shit. (https://sijmen.ruwhof.net/weblog/...)
What are your opinions on evoting? What issues do you see? And what would need to be done to get your trust in such a system?

Just wrote my first piece of code using neural networks. Even explaining it to people is fun: "So you wrote a program that writes code?" "Exactly!"

Best experience: starting uni, finally wanting to study and teachers who (mostly) understand their subject

Worst experience: starting uni, teachers who don't understand their subject or refuse to explain why something is used.

I might be in a love-hate relation with my uni.

Remember the STOTV project? (https://www.devrant.io/rants/303014)
Well, we're looking for devs to help with the cross-platform mobile development.

Want to join? See stotv.herokuapp.com. Questions? Ask 'em below.

(No, I did not swap those two)
*facepalm*

Remember the Stress ball's TransOceanic Trackable Voyage? (Also called Devvie in a bottle.) Well, we're finalizing the design. But if you are interested in helping us with software, hardware, launching, recovery, or anything else that might help, join us at stotv.herokuapp.com. PS, we're also looking for sponsors, so if you are or know someone who is interested in sponsoring, send a message to @sven on Slack.

Indian tech support just one-uped itself. They're now a web / app development agency.
/Sigh/
Why would I even need that? I'm a goddamn webdev myself! They even said they knew that.
For fuck's sake.

Sooo, I'm having a lecture now on JML (Java Markup Language), but it seems so retarded. Is this actually used anywhere? And if so, why?
