What the fuck is this one-way interview bullshit?
"The organization you are interviewing with has come up with a series of interview questions that they have requested you to respond to. This is an on-demand interview which means that you'll be recording your video interview answers at your convenience as long as you submit them before the deadline." -- sparkhire.com
Like seriously?
What if I have questions? I have plenty, and I find those questions considerably more important than whatever bullshit gotchas the company wants to annoy me with.
One-way interview.
Fucking really.
At least have the decency to talk to me.rant bullshit root gets angry one-way interview interviewing talk about lazy and unprofessional root swears oh my this just screams 'bad environment'36 -
If I have to look at a file hierarchy I'd rather see it in the damn terminal.
cd + ls > double clicking, okay?

Me: "Ugh. Soo insensitive.." *angry muttering*
Curious cousin: "Whom? What? Why?"
Me: "My stupid Mac is not case sensitive so I have to mount a Unix partition and reference it from somewhere else. Why wouldn't they just make a case sensitive filesystem like a proper Unix based OS?"
Clearly uninterested cousin: "seriously?! You called your laptop insensitive? I thought you were talking about a guy" ..

plot twist
linuxxx is some of the most advanced and efficient AI ever developed, and actually uses devrant to scope out security-aware devs and take them down 1 production server at a time15 -
Ever wanted cheat codes to devRant? Well, that's weird. But here you go, I guess.
Since the avatars do not use any external assets (Such as images), all avatars are generated. To be friendly to people who want to make third-party devRant clients (such as devRantron), avatars are generated server-side, so that the assets don't need to be distributed, and third-party programmers don't need to work out rendering avatars.
But this allows you to cheat a little.
The devRant avatars API works like this: you request a really long URL from the API, specifying the IDs of each cosmetic item the user has active, and it returns a PNG file. But you don't need an auth token to generate an avatar (which makes sense), so the avatar API is essentially a sandbox you can play around with if you have the time and patience.
You can write a really good avatar previewer with this knowledge, and see your avatar with a white tiger, even if you don't have the ++s13 -
Am I the only one who thinks that 6 10 12 14 are even odd numbers and 2 4 8 16 are even even numbers?7

That creeping realization how the legacy code works.
The "it's not possible. They couldn't have... yes. Yes they did."
It should have a name3 -
My superpower:
The ability to work on huge, complex projects/features without ever getting burned out.

!rant // more like a warning
If you use tty (no X or graphic env) and use tmux as terminal multiplexer -> avoid using mpv in it.
.
When you use -> mpv --vo=drm "video name" in tmux session and want to pause video -> cpu usage will climb up to 100% on single core.
(can make laptop warm)
(I don't know what exactly cause this but my theory is, tmux cant redraw after video is pause and it keep trying forever and end up using cpu 100% on single core)
.
Solution
- use mpv on another tty which you didn't run tmux.
- example : tty1: all stuff, tty2: mpv.
And cpu usage will be normal after video is pause.4 -
Money isn't everything.
When I graduated, I chose the job I have now because of the pay and benefits. A couple years into it, and I realize now what a mistake that was. After my first year teaching myself Apex and automating most of my team's work, I hardly spend any time as a developer because of the low number of jobs at the company that allow me to do that level of work within the first five years of employment. I've consistently asked my supervisor if I could move into a more technical space with proof of my work as reasoning to no avail. If your job pays a lot but isn't challenging, you can wind up being just as upset as if you had to work 60-70 hrs/week.8 -
Everyone seems to enjoy posting their debuggers so meet the team:

So some shit bags here keep posting stuff of 9gag, reddit and 4chan just for the heck of it...PEOPLE THIS IS FOR RANTING OHH MY GAWD ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THIS ANOTHER STUPID FACEBOOK PAGE.. We can post rants at 2 hour intervals because everyone needs proper exposure. Now you stupid annoying fucks who want +++++ for getting the free stress ball. Go get a life! If you want a ++ fucking earn it, if you think memes are the only way, then SPEND YOUR GODDAMN PUNY LIFE MAKING YOUR OWN.
I was totally fine with memes till today, my entire fucking home page is filled with fucking memes ripped off the Internet and SOME AREN'T EVEN DEV RELATED.
BE CIVILIZED GUYS, WE'RE HERE TO VENT, IF YOU'D WANT US TO HAVE A LAUGH JUST POST A FUCKING LINK TO A FACEBOOK PAGE WHERE YOU GET YOUR STUPID MEMES, WE HAVE INTERNET ACCESS TOO YOU KNOW!23 -
If an AI gets advanced enough to not require human support it will also be advanced enough to either just pamper us, or replace us.
But I think that long before that we will have neural interfaces that brings us to the next level so the AI will be part human ;)7 -
