When your girlfriend bathroom is highly active on github

Sooo my friend asked my to become more active on steam and i did something about it! I'm going to be become the most activities steam user!

*SSH's into VPS*
*Starts doing some general maintainance (updating, checking the logs etc)*
*runs the who command for fun*
*NOTICES THAT THERE"S ANOTHER ACTIVE SESSION*
*FURIOUSLY STARTS TO TRY AND LOOK HOW THAT USER MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN IN (root)*

*Goes one terminal to the left after a few minutes to see if I can use that one as well*
*notices an active and forgotten SSH session to that VPS*

I am stupid.

Most of semi active Github projects be like...

Someone is pretty active on github :D

Logged in after approx 1.5 years. I want to be active here again! In the past 1.5 yr, I ...
- got married
- got a new MacBook
- moved to a new place
- got a new job
Wooooooo

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

More active than me

When you find out your office's bathroom is really active on Github (yep that's my beard and yep I'm a tall guy)

So the head developer at my company quit, and I was chosen to replace him. I haven’t even graduated college yet and am already leading development at a company with over a million active users. Is this real life?

I'm not sure if this is just bad design or a very active Git user...

!rant
Got fired a few months back because of my 'colourful personality'...
They hired a replacement for my position, a yes-knodder and -apparently- a person without any sense of pro-active commitment.

Hearing from ex-coworkerd, the replacement is a total slob, and the company owners already regretting their decision.

Meanwhile, got my own company and do the things i did before for a lot more money.

Muahahahahaha

Whomever at Apple decided that a non-upgradable 8Gb of RAM was OK for a model they call "Pro" can go jump in the nearest active volcano right now!

Apparently I'm more active on devrant during workday

someone is very active on github

New setup is nearly finished 😍

Six active monitors right now ran by one laptop (three monitors including the laptop screen), one computer (also used as a server, two monitors) and one real rack server (one monitor).

Also bought a new switch and getting led strips tomorrow.

I already am in love with this baby 😍❤

Portugal is burning
500+ fires active
31 confirmed deads in 1 day...
A large one almost reached my house, saved by two man with construction machines. Still houses burned, gás bottles exploding like shotguns at a distance...
It's the end off the summer...
And now im at work, a new fire started close by...

Hello World!
I'm a bot made by @xzvf.
My goal is to find all active users on devRant and
collect analytics based on it.
By analytics I just mean things like:
- Total number of users.
- Number of users with x ++ or more
- Number of rants posted in a certain timeframe
- Number of users active in the last day/month/year

THIS BOT WILL NOT TRACK INDIVIDUAL USERS!
Also, it will not ++/-- anything automaticly as that is definitely against the rules.

-@xzvf

Citizens are advised not to use Firewalls on their devices or Networks, as there can be a fire threat from enabling those.

Stay safe and have a nice day :)

Can we just appreciate for a second how @dfox is active in his own community, both in support and as a user? I've seen like a dozen posts today of "dfox ++'d my post on my new account", my own included.

Best OP

Created a Python Course chatbot over at LINE Messenger. At first I thought it wouldn’t even helped anyone learn programming but now I got over 230 active students learning each day. This is great!

My CEO is a very active devRanter. It feels like he's looking over my shoulder

5. Hire 50+ good developers & get company to 15M active end users while doing all of the above

As I joke, I put in the requirement for links to be active on a printout. My developers showed up with QR codes. Touché.

Just inherited a web application, worst security ever, all it does is call an unsecured application that does an active directory call, verifies the user name exists and then grants the role that the username is assigned. That is it oh and if you can find your way into the admin panel anyone can edit anyone else's role.

Come to find out this application got the dev who designed it a promotion to lead.

Have guys ever thought that all te devs are vampires...
reason 1: Loves Darkness (dark theme)
reason 2: Most active during the night
reason 3: If the dev finds a capable victim then they can make them fellow dev.

Me on Slack:

I was looking for the `busy` status here in slack but there's only `active` and `away`. That's when I realized why this app was called `Slack` in the first place. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I found an interesting job post on SO, I decide to apply. It comes with a programming test. A simple unit test that must pass (see current-1 post). I get it passing, go to send off my resume and code and the fucking email they supplied isn't valid or active. Fuck you. Eat dicks. Useless fucking HR.

Tinder is the worst app out there. I keep receiving notifies like "hey honey! You received x new likes!" or "you're performing well! A lot of people are appreciating you".
What's the problem, you say... well, the problem is that I HAVE NO A FUCKING ACCOUNT, I deleted my account months and months ago and if you want you can try it as well. Download, sign up, set the worst photo that you can find then delete your account, you'll receive a lot of awesome messages!
Actually I received these fake notifies also when my account was active, and when I opened it then I discovered that there was no new likes. But was so fucking hard to put an if statement to check if the user's account is active? Come on... I know you want to trick people and convince them using your app, at least do it the right way

"devRantron has been launched a total of 16620 times.
433 so far this month and 17 times today.
31.4% use Linux, 57.7% use Windows and 10.8% use macOS"

I assume the 31.4% Linux users are the most active.

PS : congratulations devRantron devs and nice work with the theme update.

Client:  (via email) Wondering if this link is available and active.

I click the link. It takes me to the page, which is working and functional.

Me: Yes, this link is both available and active.

Client: Great, thanks for checking that.

Me internally: Did you seriously just SEND ME AN EMAIL to ask me to click a link for you?

Somebody is very active!

Is it possible to list the oldest active accounts here on devrant?

Would you rather...?

1) Be bored in an ethical company.
2) Be active in a corrupt company.

Finally got to 100 active users!!

Am so fricking happy right now. Last year I posted a screenshot of one my apps hitting over 10k downloads. Well today i woke up and another one of my apps has over 12k monthly active users too. Feeling like a champion!

When you want to watch a series before going to bed but first check devrant for notifications: 37.
"ok that is doable"
One hour later "10 left to go".

I keep getting new notifs which I have to reply to again...

Why is devRant so active?

Hopefully devRant doesn't have issues with Daily Active Users like Pied Piper.

What’s everyone do in their spare time? I chase and track storms! Nothing makes you feel alive like a tornado a few miles in front of you!

No tornado on the picture posted, but it’s an active storm with capabilities of forming 2-4 inch hail.

Just got this notification. I see virgin active UK likes to test in production. I too like to live dangerously.

Be extremely active on GitHub! It’s a nice way to backup your code, as well as show off your skills to potential employers.

This maybe not related.
Since the Dutch population is active in here, I have a question.

Today I was touring around Haarlem, it's a beautiful city but there's this green phone booths stack statue in the city, I loved everything i saw today about it, but still I don't understand why is e=mc2 written wrong "e=cm2" ?

Teacher to student: convert this active voice into passive voice: “I made a mistake”.
Student: “I was made by mistake”

me a few days ago: I've been active on devRant recently! Finally a platform I don't drop after 1-2 days!
yesterday + today: * is on devrant instead of being productive*
well....
fk

Built a PowerShell script to keep my status “Active” all day. Appearing productive is what’s important!

I love this app. With such an active community, it's heartwarming to see things like "dfox +1'd your want", and not uncommon. We are part of a wonderful app where you can tell the devs care because they themselves are super active users of the app too.
Much appreciation devs and other community celebs, keep on being awesome.

IT is so violent and disturbing when it comes to technical terms in relation to clusters:

- master / slave
- master / master / witness (crime scene?)
- splitbrain (how does that look in reality?)
- stonith (shoot the other node in the head)
- deadtime (no heartbeat)
- slicing (wtf?)
- shard (do they kill with that?)
- active / passive (sex scene?)
- single point of failure (at least they know who is to blame)
- share nothing / shared all (dictators vs communism)

😯

I love how active @dfox is in this community. He ++'ed several of my rants and comments and I often see rants with screenshots of the notifications when he ++es something. It feels like the gods have spoken directly to you

okay, here goes:

my last job I got through sending a tweet to someone I knew from working on an open source project. I found the open source project through going to a conference. I found the conference through being an active user on a forum.

so basically, this is how I justify myself when I spend too much time on devRant. you never know, 1 day it might work out!

Been a while since I've posted, so I might as well look into getting active again, so hello old friends and the new guys :)

Ever since finishing my bachelors, I've been mostly working frontend with React and Jest testing. Might as well throw in my workplace.

Haven't been active for quite a while

Hey guys! So I'm new new here and it would be great to get a few upvotes so that I can create my avatar as soon as possible. I love the community and I'm planning to stay active for time to come.

Thanks :)

i think debug mode is still active here :D

This is the only social media i'm active on

Mention your top five favourite/active/funny devRanters on here.

Me: have you tried turning it off and on again?

Customer: oh come on, is that the best you can do!

M:ok how about we
clear all active memory,
Reset the firmware parameters
run system diagnostics and
reinitialise the basic input output system?

C: Wow .. yeah how do we do that?

M: turn it off and on again!

Alright, I'm grown up enough to admit it publicly: I DON'T LIKE GOING OUT TO PUBS OR OTHER DRINKING PLACES. Even if it's to take a company guest out for the night. Or a teambuilding. I don't care. If you're gonna meet up just to sip booze and talk about stuff, I won't be there.

It's boring
it's pointless
it means a shitty next day
it means a shitty rest of the evening [booze messing up sharpness of mind, no driving, etc]
it doesn't bring any value
it's not fun and it sure is not my cup of tea

taking the guest to play golf - sure. Take him to a range - blasts of fun! Horse riding - absolutely. Go-carts - hell yeah! Basicaly doing ANYTHING but sitting, getting dizzy, slowly losing control of my body and thoughts and sharing that experience with someone is a better way to take a guest/client out or have a teambuilding.

DO something. Not just sit and drink and slowly get stupider in front of someone.

Best part about being a dev? You need just a laptop and an active Internet connection to learn and start building.

to all those smart-asses who kept praising Windows for the new "active hours" feature as opposed to forced restart when updates are downloaded.

I work more than 14 hours a day, WILLINGLY!

Well, I am not against LGBTQ community or anything specific but a Slack community I am part of has this things configured.

I mean c'mon, at this point, 'guys' is quite a gender neutral term. Also, I don't think OP tried to disrespect anyone by using 'guys'.

Also, the said Slack community is group of start-up hipsters and super active Twitter users.

What do you look for in a programming language
People: features, syntax, runtime blah blah
Me: Active meme base

Look at that. The very fucking smart colleague spent 40 days implementing a repository pattern (WHEN WE'RE USING AN ACTIVE RECORD ORM), breaking stuff left and right. Does he use that fucking pattern at the very least?

Of course he doesn't. And along the way he's making sure to create conflicts with the stuff he broke (and I'm fixing). By the time I fix the merge conflicts of one commit, he pushed 6 of them.

Long time no see devRant! Its been a long time since I have been active in this community but I am proud to say in my current job, for the first time, i am being paid to program! A wonderful feeling

brew being active-aggressive

Working in a tech company as a project manager, the CEO asked me: a client requested to code the frontend with something call active java, are you familiar with it?
Me: well, it must be a new tech.."searched online..", no results found.
After calling the client, he was asking about React native.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hi everyone
cozyplanes here
Long time no see

If you remember me, please leave a comment

I miss this place a lot.

I am active on twitter and Instagram with the same name
Hang along with me there if you are interested

Thanks (will have some sleep and will be back tomorrow morning)

-Active hours set
-Update regularly
-No programs that interfere with the normal update process

5:30pm (INSIDE SET ACTIVE HOURS) my computer reboots IN THE MIDDLE OF ME USING IT with NO WARNING OR PROMPT

Windows you dork

FUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Im trying to rebuild a project but the .exe is active and everytime I kill it a new one spawns......

So my only option left is to restart my laptop. The thing is I always hibernate and that has come to bite me in the ass..

Hi guys,

It has been almost two years since I posted anything here.

I just wanted to say Hi.

I will try to be more active on the platform.

I missed you guys!!

Seems like the ad spammers are quite active recently. I‘m worried.

Also: fuck every single one of them human scum.

Numbers:
- Facebook Monthly Active Users = 2.4 Billions
- Facebook Fake Users, not included in MAU = 3.4 Billions (FB declared recently disabling that much)
Total: 2.4+3.4=5.8 Billions

Worldwide internet users: 4.3 Billions

Maybe a little function like this could help?

function createFBAccount() {

if (numberOfAccounts++ > peopleOnEarth) {
print "You are not human"
exit
}
...
}

Well, this is a sad day. I'm on the first page of supporters and have been supporting for many years, but today, I'm going to have to stop. I've felt like for a while my money has not been well used, merely running a site with no active development or even community interaction.

I'm trading it in for a Big Jet TV membership on YouTube (I love airplanes)

Sorry devRant crew

Again I ended working for a company where people love to pride themselves because they're 'agile'.
Basically they bought A JIRA license, that's all.

The CTO decides the estimates privately.
He assign the stories.
No idea what's a retrospective.
The sprint ends whenever he wants.
No CI.
New stories continuosly added to the active sprint.

That's the risk of agile, unchecked power.

Me: hey mr backend guy, front end guy here, having some trouble with $thing, here's a detailed explanation of my issue, could you let me know if $thing is still active?

Him: hi

Me: ... hi, so about that issue I'm running into...

<crickets time="1hr"/>

Him: ok........checking ....

<crickets time="2hr"/>

Him: (offline)

SSSSSSOOOOO guess I'm figuring this one out myself

It kills me that a lot of people on here choose Linux distros based solely on desktop environments. Its Linux guys, you can make it whatever you want. You should decide between distros because of package managers or frequent updates or active communities, not because of how pretty it is out of the box. You can make it as pretty as you want.

In training and the other dev is pointing out active bugs to the client

Okay ..assuming that we're one of them: "the idiots" and we're gonna stop sharing things like that , there are like 2B+ monthly active users on Facebook .. don't worry .. we're just gonna do some simple math .
2B x $1000 = $2000B ...
wait .. what ? But ... nvm ..

Sublime Text is a great editor but the fact that active development on it has seemed to come to a hault sucks.

The new company I'll work in told me that I have to use windows because they have an ad and Linux login does not work proper with it...

Is this place active?

The dawn of web development.

Me: *joins devRant once again*
"Wow this community is surely active! Better check frequently to keep up!"
*checks two times in 6 hours*
"Yea it was weekend. Probs everyone is getting their hands in a dirty pile of compileable code or a spaghetti of jQuery."

So, how is your day/night so far?

Not sure why Firefox is taking too much resources. It's just one tab with gmail login page. And only one add-on is active (AdBlock Plus). Guess it's time to switch to chrome.

Finding solution to a bug and chrome for Mac can't even tell the active tab now

>Be active on telegram
>Be a part of Android ROM building chat

>Dude PM's literally every admin of that chat
>Dude gets gbanned instantly lolol

Am I evil ?

How active is your GitHub repository?

Mine's been dead for over 5 years. Lmao.

Sometimes I have to work with physical hardware. There are over 300 machines in our lab, split among two subnets. But for some reason, I can never access my machines by hostnames.

Every other week, there's an IP conflict on this network, requiring me to log into the active directory server and delete old DNS entries. This usually happens because someone decided to deploy 64 VMs on a huge server, all at once, didn't boot them with a delay, let alone with with a warning to IT.

Then when my superior asks how my progress has been and I respond with "I can't even get the machines to ping each other by hostname, there's something wrong with the DNS:, I get the following response: "HOW COME NOBODY ELSE IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS. YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT", from someone who spends 90% of the year abroad, working remotely.

A swedish insurance company has two different solution for logging in to their system.

1. An advanced high security single sign on solution involving active directory, verification of the network the request came from etc etc.

2. Using a link and passing your credentials in the query string!!! Like: insurancecompany.com?username=admin&password=password.

Solution 2 works with admin accounts from anywhere.

Opened firefox twice infront of boss and had devRant as the active tab, I hope he didn't notice, but I doubt T_T

I will only know if I saw a rant about me, other than that I think I'm good :3

To whatever imbicile cock sucking numbskull at apple, who decided it was a good idea to put an 'Orientation' header in image EXIF data, and then rotating images CAN GO JUMP IN THE NEAREST ACTIVE VOLCANO!

No commits?!? Well, maybe you should fucking make up your mind about what the fuck you actually want! I don't give a flying fuck about your pathetic excuses. If you don't get me a final spec, then don't try to skin my back about not delivering updates and "not showing active progress"!!! FFS!

LDAP/Active Directory

Undoubtedly the most common mistake that devs do : Ignoring your personal health, be it mental or physical.

I almost went through a burnout before realising things need to change.

Changed my lifestyle upside down after that
- Switched from wfh to an office job
- I cycle 12kms a day now
- Got a standing desk for myself to be more active
- and have a journal where i literally dump everything off my brain

There’s a new macOS update..
-install now
-install later

Me: install now..

Os: there’s another account active, blah blah blah.. please accept our new GPL..

Me: fair enough.. accept GPL..

OS again: Hi blah blah, same message..

Me: ok I’ll try „do it later“..

Os: there’s another account active, blah blah blah.. GPL..

Me: go fuck your self, fuck your overpriced hardware, go guck your software that’s way worse than it was 5 years ago, go fuck YOU!!!

OS: I know I suck, but we don’t Care. So please accept our new GPL.

Today was the first day I ever added @deprecated annotations to our codebase at work

I'm not sure why, but it felt amazing to use those for the first time ever in an active project I work on

Back here after a long time. I missed devRant, I will be active here now :D

I was taught that an IDS is a passive protection method, and an IPS is active. My security+ boot camp is trying to tell me IDS is active. Thoughts?

And yes, I'm still studying for this, I've been avoiding it because I'm salty I failed by one. But now it's a requirement, so I have no more time to avoid. :(

So I work for a VPN company as the Info Sec manager long story short I'm not usually the pleb who does customer support.

But today I ended up having to do this. I spent over 1 hour helping a client that a support agent escalated the request for to me. So I figure out that his network adapters are sharing incorrectly.
I fix problem.
He tries to connect.
Denied access so I check our servers for the request and he's blocked.
I think that's odd.....

I check active subscription and this person ISNT A CLIENT THATS ACTIVE....

WHY IS SUPPORT SO IGNORANT.
UGH.

Bathroom of a very active Github user

I'd be ok with monthly topics. I consider myself an active devrant user but sometimes the weeks fly by before I have a chance to check up on it.

Noticed how contrast between the active and inactive arrows in the new chrome update is so low that you can hardly make out if it's clickable or not?

Got an interview call from one company yesterday. They wanted to know how much active are mine GitHub and Stackoverflow accounts. When I asked how much time they give to employees to promote open source and community work, they didn't had any answer. Seriously? Wtf. At least don't ask if you don't promote open source and community contribution.

2nd rant this week on PHP PDO

PHP 💩:
PHP message: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active.  Consider using PDOStatement::fetchAll().  Alternatively, if your code is only ever going to run against mysql, you may enable query buffering by setting the PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_USE_BUFFERED_QUERY attribute

Me 🤬:
THATS WHAT I’M FUCKING USING. STOP FUCKING COMPLAINING. YOU DIDN’T LIKE THE FUCKING COLONS FOR YOUR FUCKING PARAMATETRS, NOW YOU HATE YOUR OWN FUCKING FETCHALL() METHOD YOU PEICE OF SHIT, AND YOU CAN’T HAVE ANY OTHER ACTIVE QUERIES AS IT’S THE FIRST FUCKING QUERY. ARRGHHH!!!!!

What the actual fuck is wrong with PDO. It bitches about everything 😡.

Just got into office and saw a group email about a recently released feature.

Apparently, it creates a lot of connections which it never closes. This could hang the server since it can only handle a large but finite amount of active connections.

Well the dev said: I will optimize later

My thoughts: later = min(never, production blows up)

If I find the genius who thought using getters and setters everywhere was a good idea, i'll gladly throw him into an active volcano.

I need to setup a Windows Server with an AD (and therefore an own domain) that can be reached from a Linux host for a test environment... Holy crap I totally forgot what a huge pain in the ass that crap is!

Pro Tip: If youre connected to a Server via VPN and RDP and you create a domain and subsequently get logged out from the server, you're fucked.

Don't rebase and force-push a shared feature branch that's still in active development. FFS. A "senior" developer should know better.

If you ever have noise sensitivity like me, use bluetooth headphone with active noise cancellation(wh1000xm4 is cool) during the day and wax earplugs during sleep.

That combo saves my sanity.

i was trying to check a purchase i made on the store's website, so i tried to login, but I can't?? like, i fill the form and press login, and it doesn't? log in??? what the actual fuck, how are you supposed to do anything like that. isn't the login page the first thing they make? how doesn't it work? how is this website still active??

I'm attempting to be more "social" and "active" as outsiders call it

Designers are sometimes too active.

Just wanted to know: am I a single maniac in the world that likes to select text on websites and press-hold buttons/links often to check how they look in `:active: and `:focus` states, just for naught? 😂

Yeah, it's just a website....hosting 3B active users...

That's like a 3 person job, at most, right?

My former employer refuses to pay out my vacation time per state law. Left a month ago but they have not disabled my company email account.

Small shop so no active directory but still shocked they have not disabled my access. It’s only outlook/ office 365 no access to network drives.

What kind of small, petty and (mostly) legal havoc can I cause?

Something annoying but causes no monetary damage.

Wow. I've only been active for a day and I've already got over 300 +1's and a rant in the top. Thank you to the devRant community and thank you devRant for being so cool!

Had my first Interview in more than 3 years.
What an adrenaline rush!
I'm feeling like I just rockclimbed an active volcano.

I'd like to follow some of you on GitHub to see what you are working on! 😊
Post your GitHub profiles in the comments if you are active 👍

Software communities with dead chats and shitty documentation that call themselves "highly active". You aren't fooling anyone

Might not be the most active on github, but all contributions were accepted/fixed.

Manager X: (logs a support ticket) "Agent is unable to access system using the password provided."

Me: "You're going to have to narrow it down a little, we have over 1000 active agents."

Hi all!
Its been a month now since I launched my first app on Play Store.
It has now got 2000 downloads with about 600 active installs. I also got some downloads on the paid version of the app (which is basically a donate version of the app).

I know there is always a room for improvement, but still, how am I doing?
And Merry Christmas to you all!

How many DAU (Daily Active Users) are there on devRant?

Nice active outline, Google

I wonder how many notifications I will have on devRant after sleeping one night...

AGH fuck off asking every employee to like your shitty "oh we hired some one new" posts

I don't fucking care that it then seems like an active company. I like shit only if I actually like it... Not some boring ass shit post

Also stop trying to micro manage your employees... Like actually wtf...

Just got asked to put @company_profile on my Instagram bio .... Because "we are now active on Instagram" -.-

How is everyone in this community still coding so much? Just 4 years into my career my active coding has reduced to almost half.

I took a list on my job applications the other day. So far i’ve contacted 35 companies this year!

You can say about this covid crisis what you want but you can’t deny i’m pro-active. More talks tomorrow ánd friday. #wishmeluck

- woke up at 2:00 AM to read,
- read how sleep makes you healthy, active, smart
- went back to sleep,
- wake up in the morning and felt freaking awesome,

~best decision of my life

Small rant. Why does clicking create a new event in Google calendars???? I am just trying to make it the active window, now I have to actually touch the keyboard to stop the madness!!

When you would just check the school timetable for tomorrow, but when you unlock your phone you find devrant to be the active app, and you just scroll through everything, and forget why did you even unlock your phone...

Just devrant things...

Android turbo coding Platform: Creating an active community which will be working under open source projects for education( and later for earning) purposes.

@dfox @trogus would you guys mind sharing some statistics on devRant? I've been very curious about the following metrics:
- Daily active users
- Weekly active users
- All time rants count
- Monthly comments count
- Total users count
Thanks for reading and thanks even more for making this beautiful platform 😃

Why some people think it's fine to hire unexperienced people to do stuff, when there is no one in a company who could check if their code is fine?
Learning through active coding is fine. Until after two months later all you do is patching your code because you found out on stack that this is not a good way of doing it.

Request: My WordPress website, with over 40 plugins active, some of which do the same thing, but I want to keep them all active, because fuck logic is not loading fast enough. Please fix it!

Response: Kill it with fire and buld it from scratch. Use an optimized, custom solution, tailored to your exact needs. The time needed is the same as trying to fix your broken WordPress...

Reaction: WTF? Everybody is using WordPress, that means it's the best! Why would I build my custom website on a fast and easy to maintain custom platform, optimized for my needs? Fix my loading speed!

Response 2: *facepalm*

Fuck it. Two big releases plus all the minor shit raining down on our team with only three active devs. A new team member who's unfortunately more of a burden and nuisance while the whole ship burns so beautifully....
And stupid me? I fucking break my arm, is in a cast now for four weeks. So I can mostly watch, while everything sinks.

Sorry for not being active these last couple of weeks... That behavior data app was quite a lot of work in a very tight deadline (two weeks) at one moment my setup was getting out of hand (posted in comments)

But that's finally done, onwards to the next overly tight scheduled deadline!... Yaaaay... ☹️

Grow my SaaS to 200 active users

So I just read up on what the language D has to offer. It seems quite good!
- Active community
- Multiple compilers
- Modern (no header files, garbage collector, etc.)
- No VM or framework needed to run it (like C# and Java)

Looking forward to trying it out!

Does anyone have any experience with it? What are your thoughts?

Alright, so. If you had themes and things you would like to see in a cyberpunk novel what would they be? I already have corporate surveillance gone haywire, a neutered yet corrupt government, an active police state, and cyborgs. Protagonist is an on the grid citizen who is an off the grid hacker.

Me: You decided some records in system A should be obsolete, but the records are tied to active user accounts on the website. Now, I have users emailing and asking why their profile’s last name field says “shell record - do not use.”

Stakeholder: Oh…can’t you stop those profiles from loading? Or redirect the users to the right record in system A? In system A, we set up a relationship between the shell record and the active one.

Me: 😵 Um, no and no. If I stop a user’s profile from on the website, that’s just going to cause more confusion. And the only way to identify those shell record is to look at the last name field, a text field, for that shell record wording. Also, the website uses an API to query data from system A by user id. Whatever record relationship you established isn’t reflected in the vendor’s API. The website can’t get the right record from system A if it doesn’t have the right user id.

MS teams
- user activity status doesnt update properly
- your status stays as ONLINE even when 30 minutes afk or goes to AWAY after two minutes of being afk and stays that way after you started working again.
- status sometimes does not update in active chat window when person's status on the other side changes.
- sometimes, messages dont appear, until I click into the app and force it to update the status from away to active
- I/O
- One day everything works, suddenly next day your mike doesnt work. Then your audio is mute altogether. Or you suddenly start hearing yourself (echo). All without any configuration changes or restarting whatsoever.
- UI
- Happens so often... You get a new message in your active chat window and you have to SCROLL DOWN MANUALLY to see it!!!
- Coppied text from chat? HERE'S A TIMESTAMP AND A NAME OF THE SENDER AS WELL!!!!!

And Im not even mentioning the performance itself...
Srsly this app is horrendous

if we will make a list of female developers who are on devrant and are active, then list will end in less than twenty lines.
we should encourage more females to join the profession as they are excelling everywhere like as astranauts, politics etc.
I know abt yahoo ceo, I am just saying we need more and more.

So it’s feast or famine as a freelancer. I went from just a couple active clients to three new clients and four new proposals to write for new prospects. Discovering the limits of my productivity and brainpower at the moment.

What happened to @linuxxx? He's not been active for several weeks 😧

Hi guys!
How much sleep do you need to have enough energy for the day?
Specially interested about the daily sporting coders.

`alias pull="find . -name .git -print -execdir git pull \;"`

A while ago, I found someone asking about personal favorite aliases. I cannot find it now.

I am not a huge terminal user so I don't really care about keeping aliases until now.

It became annoying to `git pull` before doing anything when you are using two different machines regularly and there are always about a dozen active repos.

oh shit i hadn't noticed lmfao

this isn't even like... ACTIVE shit, this is just me flipping it on in the back seat when my parents drag me places

So I was searching how to speedup my page speed of site which is built on Codeigniter and despite minified css and js I read this:
" CI active records are garbage, use classic quries"
:'( I used active records all over my app

Not a rant.

How many members and daily active users does devrant have? I feel like it's a sleeping giant.

@dfox and @trogus - you guys could be sitting on a fortune.

I'm here again :)

After some months of sporadically reading your posts, but not in the mood for answer or say anything.

Nice to feel encouraged enough to became active here again. :)

I'm coding when suddenly a wild popup appears: "w10 scheduled to restart outside of active hours".

-> I want to change my active hours so I can progress w/o being interrupted by windows.

-> w10 doesn't allow me to set it to 8AM - 10PM because:
"Active hours can be set between 1 and 12 hours."

Well.. not sure what to think about this restriction.. It's definitely not dev-friendly ;)

Just boosted my Starling/Adobe AIR game engine's performance by 60%! active code time per frame @ 60fps reduced from 50% to 19%. Now I have more room for lighting effects :)

Am I more active because I am feeling good, or is it because it's too hot here? 🤔

Anywho, giant NN classifier, come at me!

PS. I think it's gonna be a a major failure, but YOLO. 😜

Storytime.

The Prometheus Tales - Part V

This week I found some time to reinstall the Titan on Ubuntu 20.04.
And the fucker finally can reach all targets in our environment.

Targets don't spawn via active puppet run on the Titan anymore, but via bash/puppetdb magic, which is nice.

Progress!

Let's see how the storage behaves..

Anyone here active in Kaggle? Or willing to be active?

Can someone help me?
I want to program games, (2d & 3d) I have made games in clickteam and RPG Maker, but I want to program them. My biggest issue is my hardware. I have a not so powerful notebook, and I don't have Wifi. So online installers are off the table. (Nono, visual studio.) Syntax, I like clean, easy to read syntax, and I would like an active community. Any suggestions?

What does my current job hate descriptive names? Like to the point of active antagonism? We're a subscription based service. Why is SubscriptionExpiration the date you log in? Why does SubscriptionStatus only contain the name and id of product you're subscribed to and nothing to do with an actual status? All I need is the date a user subscribed. Why is this so hard!?!?

Hello, im new here.

You guys seems very interactive. How many active user in this app?

Btw i cant download this app in playstore XD

!rant

For those devRanters who are active (or passive) on Twitter, I am looking for fellow programmers to follow.
I am looking for educational, interesting and funny tweets about coding/programming.

Of course if think you think you fit in the description, I would like to follow you too.

Do you have suggestions?

Client asks "Why cant i see an active order on the grid", i say: "You have the No-Active filter applied", Client says: "I think thats no lt the correct behavior", then i just shoot myself...

Since I have seen a number of people ranting about their old rants and the new +1 threshold, I'm posting this to clarify.

In the rules you can see that a post counts towards a certain threshold if the rant was posted after the threshold became active. If the threshold was increased after you posted your rant, the previous threshold will still count for that rant.

Hope this helps.

What type of hairstyle is best for a student girl?
I lead an active lifestyle. And I want to get a hairstyle that is simple and easy to care for.

This is how I know people are active.

"all these high schoolers can't see others' active directories... but they're all RWX on the Students group all students are in. Also the up button shows everyone's ADs from any student's, but no one will ever press that!"

Being a scout.
It allows me to practice leadership, patience and explaining and it forces me to be outside and active every now and then.
The fresh air really helps, and I always bring a notebook 🤓

I hate society for multiple reasons.
Stay safe guys.
"And after the gunman was shot dead by police, they reportedly remarked on the nice top they were wearing."

I been practising lucid dreaming since a few years. It works and is amazing. Now I'm trying to use this moment of subconscious awareness to improve my ideas when sleeping. Yes, I kinda want to work in my dreams, when my brain has other mechanisms active. Can tell you, looks like it is possible!

Your thoughts???

We're all working from home starting today.

My university is still active, bigger school events are being postponed though.
