I am the TA for Programming course for freshers.
Received this doubt today

I just wanted to read news

I know how many people hate systemd. I started reading about it a week ago and I am enjoying it. Seems a much better alternative to previous things.

Is there something bad I should know about...

So we have an internal license server for intellij.
Installed idea, tried to connect to license server. It wouldn't connect.
Got at least, 10 devs and the admin to look at the problem. No one could find why it was not connecting.

After full 2 hours someone got the idea, came to my laptop and fixed it. Turns out windows firewall was blocking all requests from intellij.

Fuuuuuuuck

My company just made entry into IOT field. Their official tag line is "Connect Everything"
🤦‍♂️

!rant. Story from my college abt 6 months old.

We had to make projects for our course.
One team made a very nice project. One part of that was mobile no. verification using OTP.

And the student who was supposed to to that, did it by sending the required otp to the frontend page, and when user enters it, validate it using javascript.

The prof got mad about it and the rest of the class couldn't stop laughing.

Just remembered. Thought it would be worth sharing.

That moment when you were finally able to make a plugin after 36 hours of frustration for a software with absolute shit docs and not many resources thanks partly to a small article (written in german which you had to translate) that you found lurking in the corner of web. 😌

I removed mic permission from Google and Google play Services, and now Everytime I make a call, I get this notification. wtf. Is Google listening to my calls or what.
Any devs here who know why tf does play services requires mic while I am making a call...?

Tried to log into my laptop 4 times and got wrong password. Fumed for full 5 mins before realizing that I was using password of workplace laptop.

1. You find out a new song
2. You love that song.
3. It's your favorite song now.
4. You keep on listening it on repeat for like a 1000 times.
5. Now you hate the song.

Is it only me or is this common ಠ︵ಠ

skills.addAll( { java, spring, reactor } );

What is it exactly...?

Who the hell named it POJO.

That "Plain Old" doesn't make sense at all. They could have just named it "JO"

I did npm install 1 hr ago. It's still on 70%

Any recommendations for silent keyboards? I hate keyboards that make even slight noise.

Why the fuck does your API have to send 401 when the server is down.

Just spent an hour thinking something was wrong with my auth wrapper.

We have a list of 1.5k different dependencies for various projects. And they wanted to check if each of those deps has been approved by the management.
They have no way to automate this. (I believe there is always a way to automate any fucking thing but my pm says there is no way)
And no employee in the company was keen to do this task so they decided to give it to interns.

Now I am sitting on my table, copying each and every dep, pasting in the browser (on their portal ) and noting down if it's approved. If it's not, I have to note the latest version that had been approved.

I have been doing this from morning. 400 done. 1000 to go.

My first dev project was 6 years ago in which I made a fucking gui application in c++ using fucking TurboC++.

And used no gui libraries. Used to draw circles/rectangles/pixels right on screen using graphics.h library

Was fun though

Does that make sense...🤔🤔

Just spent 30+ hrs on an error that was due to using flatMap instead of map.

I feel stupid!

Pro Tip: Never try to learn Spring without learning java properly.

Someone tried to push a patch in prod while demo was going on in front of CEO.

Good thing they locked the repo before the demo. 😏

Algo at it again

That moment when you find virtualenv in requirements.txt for a virtual environment. 🤯🤯🤯

People always say how they lost couple fucking hrs because of a bloody ';'.

You know what.. '!' are mush worse.

I just lost 2.5 hrs debugging because i had written if(x){} instead of if(!x)

semicolons you can find at compile time.
! are the true morons

The WiFi at my office requires username and password to sign-in and logs out after every few hours. Then I have to tap on "sign in" and submit the username and password again.

Is there any fucking way I could automate this.......?

You know you didn't ignore node_modules when 'git add' takes more time than 'git push' on a 3G

For some reason github is not working on my wifi.
First thought it was down.
But then found it's running from my phone data.

Tried calling isp. They say it's working .

Anyone here who can help.... ?

Currently running from my mobile data but it's too slow..... 😢

Coffee Machine is not working today 😫😭😭
