(was teaching C++ to a newbie)

Me: aight, so to print a statement, you type cout.

(Proceeds to do so)

Her: um, okay but printer is not connected.

Me: aw, you poor thing.

Interview with a candidate. He calls himself "C++ expert" on his resume. I think: "oh, great, I love C++ too, we will have an interesting conversation!"

Me: let's start with an easy one, what is 'nullptr'?
Him: (...some undecipherable sequence of words that didn't make any sense...)

In my mind: mh, probably I didn't understand right. Let's try again with something simple and more generic

Me: can you tell me about memory management in C++?
Him: you create objects on the stack with the 'new' keyword and they get automatically released when no other object references them

In my mind: wtf is this guy talking about? Is he confusing C++ with Java? Does he really know C++? Let's make him write some code, just to be sure

Me: can you write a program that prints numbers from 1 to 10?

Ten minutes and twenty mistakes later...

Me: okay, so what is this <int> here in angle brackets? What is a template?
Him: no idea

Me: you wrote 'cout', why sometimes do I see 'std::cout' instead? What is 'std'?
Answer: no idea, never heard of 'std'

I think: on his resume he also said he is a Java expert. Let's see if he knows the difference between the two. He *must* have noticed that one is byte-compiled and the other one is compiled to native code! Otherwise, how does he run his code? He must answer this question correctly:

Me: what is the difference between Java and C++? One has a Virtual Machine, what about the other?
Him: Java has the Java Virtual Machine
Me: yes, and C++?
Him: I guess C++ has a virtual machine too. The C++ Virtual Machine

Me (exhausted): okay, I don't have any other questions, we will let you know

And this is the story of how I got scared of interviews

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

Friend : Hey bro I made an awesome program which shows your future wife's name.

Me : Hey that sounds interesting, show me the source code bro !!

Friend shows the code :

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string first_name , last_name;

cout << "Enter your first name\n";
cin >> first_name ;

cout << "Enter your last name\n";
cin >> last_name ;

cout << "Your wife's name is " << "Mrs " << last_name << "\n";

}

Me : Dude you are gonna crack Google some day :P

Great day start 😁

Just the real deal.

What my lecturer think I have learned:
- Programming Patterns
- C, C++, Java
- Socket programming, web programming
- Operating system...

What I have actually learned:
1. printf("Hello World");
2. echo "Hello World";
3. console.log("Hello World");
4. Console.Writeline("Hello World");
5. cout << "Hello World" >> endl;
6. System.out.println("Hello World");
7. puts "Hello World";
8. "Hello World"
9. write("Hello World");
10. Display "Hello World"

She: We've been together for so long and why are you never romantic??
Me: What do you mean? I can say I Love You in 10 different languages!
She: Awww... Really ?!?
Me:
cout<<"I Love You!";
printf("I Love You!);
System.out.println("I Love You!");
print "I Love You!"
echo "I Love You!";
say I Love You
puts "I Love You!
msg db 'I Love You!'
<h1>I Love You!</h1>
dbms_output.put_line ('I Love You!');

Me: Hello.. ?

Boss - so how long will this transport booking app take, native android and iOS ....plus backend, plus localization, plus live location tracking, blah blah.

Me - at least 4 months, or more

Boss - HOW can an app take MONTHS? That is totally unacceptable, it’s not gonna work this way, blah blah. I’m giving u 2 months, tops. No project should take more than 2 months.

—

Next app,
Boss - so this new e-commerce app needs to be made, u have api. How long?

Me - 2 months coz ——-

Boss - WHATTTTT!!!??? 2 months for an APP!!???? What is this? Not gonna work this way, you should make apps in a week. Other people make apps in a week.

Then fucking hire those other people. Lol.

I like how us developers see other people as "Humans"

Why do some non-devs treat professional app development like some kids craft-making hobby that requires zero skill and knowledge or brain?
A friend (with ZERO knowledge about coding) said to me today, teach me, or tell me how to learn this app development, I'll learn it within a month and make my own apps plus do freelance app work in free time, apps fetch plenty of money easily. Blah blah.
Not the first time, other non dev friends have talked in the same way on other instances.
It's insulting and infuriating. I don't even know what to reply.

So while I’d been away ....
I had my first baby in December :)

#include <iostream>

int main(){
std::cout<<"hello there i'm new here\n";
return 0;
}

Me: I'm gonna be productive today. Will complete this task in one hour!
*starts coding enthusiastically*
After two minutes...
*facebook*
*cat video*
Awwwww
*dog video*
Lol heheh!
*cute kittens n puppies*
Heh, silly cat
*more cats, dogs*
*accidentally notices the time*
Crap! 1.5 hours gone waste....

Hi, my name is Juan, I'm 17 years old. I started programming when I was 12 years old (I started with Visual Basic 6) and I'm from Venezuela. A friend, named Javier, recommended DevRant, and I think it's a fantastic idea. I'm an inveterate lover of UNIX and all its variants, and of course, also of C/C++. I have so many projects in mind for the gamedev, but emptiness eats me and I can't develop them, it's pathetic.

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, devRant\n";
return 0;
}

cout << "<?php echo \"system.out.println(\\\" console.log('<h1>hello world</h1>'); \\\"); \" ; ?>";

So... I learnt a couple things today about C++ language which I didn’t know before...

1. float var = 5.9;
std::cout << ( var == 5.9 );

// shows 0 (false) coz of float and double thing... apparently, 5.9 isn’t automatically converted to float when compared to one 🤔

2. arr[ i ] == i[ arr ]

Well... I guess I now like my college 1% more from the previous % whatever that was 😊☺️

Instead of using actual debugging tools, using print statements and forgetting to remove all of them.

#include<iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout<<"Hello Everyone. I'm New Here";
return 0;
}

I hate android fragments, I hate 'em, I hate 'em, oh I hate em so much....
..
Wait it worked! I love android, I love fragments! <3

Is it just me ...or are other developers bad at relationships too?

I usually have a pen and notebook at my table while coding, to scribble while I'm figuring out stuff. Anyone else does this?

Dear windows 10

I won't mind a weekly 30 minutes update but...

My ubuntu connects to wifi in 2 seconds
My lubuntu connects to wifi in 2 seconds
My archlinux connects in 1 second(don't ask why)
My raspbian starts up and connects in 10 seconds

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE MORE THAN A SYSTEMS BOOTING PROCESS TO GET CONNECTED?

In these floods of anxiety and depression, coding is the only thing that is keeping me from sinking... <3

cout<<"Hello devRant world";

//omg this place is so cool!!!

Cout<<"NEW USER = ANIRUDH";

Why do people talk so much in the real world. I'm okay with yes/no questions. Talking face to face is exhausting for me. Leave me alone. I'm okay with chat too.

Can't tell these to anybody for real tho.
Sighs.

Let's see the coder in you.
If I give input: 1 output: 2
If I give input: 2 output:1
Only these two test cases needed.
You should not use control structures such as if,else,for,while,switch etc. (The answer is simple) (Don't cheat)

int number;
cin>>number; //get number
cout<<??????; //Your code

I picked up my phone for something important. Devrant was already on the screen, read a rant. Commented. And now I forgot why I’d picked up the phone.

I get bothered when I hear someone say "my program is refusing to do x". The program is doing exactly what you have told it to do.

*decides to make a new os*

*remembers aosp*

*goes to their website*

*searches for sources*

*downloads*

*c/c++ based*

........

I ain't know a single stuff in C/C++ except that printing a string in C is printf and cout something in C++

AHHHHHHHH

I fucking hate the web guy.
He says - make a pop-up of the raw text you're receiving (in the app) so that I can test it easily while I fix it.
I did it.
Now he laughs and says - I think you searched for it and simply copied from wrong example. All you had to do was handle the text and parse it and display it blablabla instead of simply popping up the raw text.
Thank you I flipping KNOW all of that, you stuck up obnoxious frog. I did it that way initially and uploaded it coz you SAID so! Why do you ALWAYS have to talk like I know nothing!?

How has coding impacted my life?
Well I got permanent dark circles to flaunt 😎

I need to learn to TEST MY CODE P-R-O-P-E-R-L-Y !!!!!!!

That moment when instead of debugging, you use cout to see the results...

My macbook's making a very faint but very weird gurgling sound 😰 I better back up my code

Most ignorant ask from pm:
“So what have we done in the app so far?”
When the requirement gathering hadn’t even been completed yet.

That empty feeling when a project is about to be completed...like you have to give away a pet you've grown attached to...

#include <iostream>
using namespace std

int main();
{
cout << "Hello devRant!"
}

It’s so draining to talk to people when you’re depressed.

Dev pickup lines:

Hey girl, I may not know your namespace but if you let me cin it'll turn you cout😉

Comment your best

Idk why, but to me, the design and looks of Skype app feels kinda messy and creepy :/

Doesn't it feel just awesome when your project is going on smoothly since the beginning...I've completed around 80 percent and haven't been stuck in anything major yet for more than half a day. It's not much I know but for me it is and right now I feel like the queen of coding ^_^

My macbook's trackpad has now got a stupid mind of its own. It's been moving the cursor and scrolling and zooming randomly on its own since morning. I suspect moisture. Have opened it and kept it in the sunlight. Let's see. Any other suggestions, anyone?

So I found out few days ago that I’m pregnant. All’s well, except this guy who sits behind me in the office and keeps going out for a smoke every hour and returns smelling strongly like cigarettes. The smell fades after a while and he goes out again. Repeat.

My sense of working on a single project in a nutshell

Extremely stupid question but what exactly is devops

System.out.println("Hello World!");
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
console.log("Hello World!");
print("Hello World!)
printf("Hello World!);
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
echo "Hello World!"

Add some other languages 😁

Why do job descriptions for ONE developer position, list down ALL the known programming languages, all the web technologies and frameworks available? From java kotlin swift php js jquery node to ionic angular laravel python and what not. Wtf? And this is not one, this is about 70 percent of the job descriptions I see these days!!

This compiles and works in C++:

int arr[10];

5[arr] = 42;

cout << 5[arr] << endl;

I know why it works technically. Its just pointer math. But I have to ask "Why?" Of all that is unholy, WHY?!

When your code works perfectly fine, and you go to dinner and return and the same code starts crashing.
And I'm like.....
.... Is my computer doing things on its own while I'm away from my desk?..... :/

cout<<"Hello world!";

I've been sitting and staring at my code for two hours.
Actual work done - nil
This has been going on since three days now.
Tying not to panic. It has happened before. This phase should end in the next couple of days....
Don't panic please.
I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight...

Because cout << "Hello World" << endl; is getting kinda boring

I started my internship at the end of the year..
Fuck my ass!!! This code I have to work with is a huge pile of shit.
The code base I need to work with is around 40k LOC. It is a mixture of C++, C, Java, Python, Bash and I think I saw some lonely js files around.

A list of awesome parts:
- Paths are hard coded.
- Redundant code everywhere
- No documentation or inline comments available

Most of the comments in the code are just old code that is not used anymore. But the cherry on the turd is the class that should provide all kind of useful functions in my daily routine. About ninety percent of the functions have the same description or nothing. Sometimes a function name says "readSomethingFromSomewhere" but instead it writes something to a file. It is really confusing and I need to check everything twice instead of rely on what the function name promises.
I have also learned why copy paste isn't that good. The brief descriptions of every method in a files are always the same.

getName() - Description: Fork child process
getIp() - Description: Fork child process
getIpv6() - Description: Fork child process.

Surprise: None of these functions forks a child process. :D

Another awesome feature is the thing that they store up to five different versions of libraries. Everyone with slight modifications but no hint which one you need to use. Sometimes it is the newest, sometimes the oldest which is running in production. Another case of try and error.
Oh and my dev machine is a potato with a power supply and a fan. I started with NetBeans and every time I compiled the code it sounds like the machine wants to lift off and leave for a better place. (At this point I switched to Emacs and everything runs smoothly now)

At first I thought that I'm just not that good at coding and understanding a big project from scratch but some colleagues have the same problem. The whole system is very inflexible and it is all about "std::cout"-debugging to check if your changes do what you want them to do.

Currently I'm just trying to fix this mess to make the life for the next student or employee easier. The first month was just frustrating as hell. I need to ask so many questions and most of the time the answer was "I don't know, haven't touched this code in years". Needless to say that my progress isn't that awesome but at least I get a nice payment for 20 hours of work a week.

How has coding impacted my life?
Everyone around me expects me to hack any Facebook account magically, and make personal websites and apps for them for free.

Has no END.

We all know you can't "learn x programming language in a day" without travelling to the Arctic and catching a day that last half a year.

But what's the worst language to try and learn in a day?

I vote c++. Manual memory management, multiple inheritance, static compilation, operator overloading, and generally non-human syntax ( Like std::cout << "This is how you print!" << std::endl; ) make it a difficult one to attempt in a day.

If god was a programmer, do you think he made us like

int sex = rand()% 2+1;

if (sex == 1){
std::cout << “it’s a girl!”;
}

else if (sex == 2){
std::cout << “its a boy!”;
}

Received $1000 bill from google because my navigation app used google maps and the places search/autocomplete API to allow users to search for a place.

Switching to mapbox maps and places api.

#%$£€@&?

I commented my code so nicely today. I deserve to be treated for this with a pizza...extra cheese....and also a holiday at some beach house.

Does music help you or does it distract you from coding?
It mostly distracts me, but sometimes helps me when I'm doing simple UI work etc. Or when I want to block normal people (even quietly) sitting or waddling around.

Facebook has changed so much.
There was a time when we were so connected and had so much fun there with friends. Now it’s mostly about videos and ads. That’s all I see when I scroll. I hate it now.

Boss said, we take July off (unpaid) after that let’s see
So wtf do I wait or do I hunt

Int main()

cout << "Hello Devrant!";
return 0;
}
My computer professor has told us our future grades depend on who ever can beat him at soul caliber 6 when it comes out.
Are all programmers this goofy?

Client - "hi, I got the mail. Is the app complete.......","...you've done this part?....","...have you done that blabla section..."

😑..I already wrote it in the mail that it is complete, dumbass. And Why don't u just flipping RUN it and see if this part and that section is working properly and tell me if your highness can spot something incomplete.

No I'm not overreacting. He acts like this all the time.

I used to love windows and hated Mac

Then I started using MacBook

Now I don’t like windows at all. I don’t like windows laptops either.

I really didn’t want to be this kind of person who liked Mac and doesn’t like windows laptops

But now I have become this person.....

Why do people hate php? It feels so nice to me.

How has coding impacted my life?
I feel handicapped now if I go somewhere (even just hang out for a while) without my laptop.

I'm pretty much sure somewhere in the wide world Web there's a clients community joking about ordering developers to fix their printers and stuff...

while making EEEEVILLLL laughs.

How long can you code continuously without any break? Occasionally I can code for hours but usually I need frequent little breaks. :/

I’m a developer, not a designer, y r u making me do wireframes and shit, it’s short-circuiting my brain

By the time I’m able to put my baby girl to sleep, I get hungry again.....

I just remembered, I haven’t had pizza in a long time now...

Xcode storyboard sucks!. At least it could've had a code version of the storyboards (like android XML layouts) so that at least you could properly copy paste a layout from somewhere. Autolayouts and constraints are so flipping confusing that I almost always end up doing all the layouts in the code itself.

#include <rant>
Using angry standard;

Int main()
{
cout << "So my mom recently started "exploring the web". I'm sure you already know where this is going; she ended up signing up for a free trail of some diet pills with her credit card on some sketchy website. The website never sent any product but attempted to charge her card over $300 multiple times. My mom's bank noticed and froze the account. She has now opened an investigation with the banks fraud department and is awaiting response. I took the liberty of running a whois look up and found the companies website is held by GoDaddy and is hiding behind Domains by Proxy (GoDaddy's sysadmin hider). I'm angry that she's in this situation but I have no idea of how to uncover the real company behind the diet pills site." << endl;

Return 0;
}

I have not researched it so I'm not sure if this is a widely known thing but I figured out a sort of hacky way to get a max integer value:

-Declare an unsigned int.
-Subtract 1
-Divide 2

That is your max signed int value

int main(){
unsigned int a = 0;
a--;
std::cout << a / 2 << std::endl;
}

I used to hate writing tests, surprisingly now I’m kinda enjoying it this time.

I was about to write a well-thought rant.
Forgot when I opened this window.
Think m getting old

Taking a class in school where we are learning C++. The kid sitting next to me never listens. Had a couple of errors, added a few cout lines in which he put "count" instead of cout and ended up with 108 errors. That class is going to be so difficult for him..

Android studio sux.

I get a feeling nowadays that a lot of u guys here know each other well.

I dnt knw if that made sense. I’m half asleep.

Here for you, just so you cant sleep this night:

while (true) {
new long;
cout<<"Deal with it, motherfucker ";
}

Why is flutter so unbelievably awesome?
It makes development soooo much quicker and easier compared to native java/kotlin/swift...so much simpler on so many levels, that it still feels somehow ..*wrong*...to me....

std::cout<< " University, here I come! ";

// just passed a very important exam and I can't wait to get enrolled at my dream Uni :) Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

So my Xcode was taking forever to archive and export builds. I opened keychain access and deleted all certificates and keys except the one distribution cert. there weren't many, must have been around 14, but that reduced archive time from 15 to 5 mins, and export time from 1.5 hours to 10 minutes! Yay!! :)

What's your programming background music?

I listen to classical music
These days mostly Chinese traditional

This is gonna be a long one....
A lesson I learnt the hard way - never go out of your way to help friends with their coding. I helped her always, sat with her on the phone and explained and taught and solved her problems for hourssss while delaying my own work, while losing my sleep, even during pregnancy, I helped somehow as much as was possible even when I was drowning in my own work, even when I’m was not okay myself. But, once in a while I am too full, I also have work, now I also have an infant to take care of as well, and yeah sometimes I CAN be too busy to help!!!!! I have my own life too!! At these times she says “oh you don’t help me anymore”. It’s so annoying seriously What the fuckkkkk and after this shit happened a few times, I expressed my annoyance and she says, oh it was a joke. But then repeated it. And I still feel bad in refusing to help when asked. But lesson learnt that I won’t put myself behind, I’ll help only when I have nothing else to do.

The biggest challenge I face at work is having to sit in one place and work all day. Office feels like a prison. I miss working from home.

Ffs. Am I sick or is it normal that after almost a year at current company, I still love it and have nothing to rant about? It makes me happy and sad at the same time that i have nothing to rant about and this is the only rant i can come up with

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

Back in the soul-eating depression abyss

Haven’t read any book in months now....

A "secure" IoT framework, that integrates with the current system and helps in future implementations as well.
More importantly it would be universally adopted, open source and not proprietary .
Kinda working on something like it for a side project but really dunno where it'll end up! :/

Xcode's taking an eternity to just archive a build. And what's worse is that the whole system turns sluggish, can't do anything else while archiving.

My macbook base is missing four screws (I'd upgraded a few weeks ago...and I lost the screws) and now the base is all loose and wobbly :@

This android app is almost done, little bits remaining but I'm so flipping bored of it that I just don't feel like working on it for another minute. I just want to do the other app. But I must complete this one before going to the next. Must.

These days now, my boss trusts me so much and takes my opinions and suggestions and goes ahead with those. Not to mention so lenient with me regarding work times since I had the baby. I’m melting thinking about her.

How do u spend your free time? These days I’m constantly torn between coding and painting. Both are my passions. And I recently started a coding blog I love writing on it, and I also want to learn meanstack in free time. But I also want to paint........ :(

Fucking Xcode takes a hundred flipping minutes to archive a build and 69 years to export it, on my shitty MacBook.

I got really awesome wireless headphones as a prize at a hackathon.

Had to write a simple shell program w/ job control for my Comp Sci class. I'd just like to say, on behalf of the ~300 students...

Best place to backup all of your old and new projects n codes?

Now my MacBook didn't boot up until I plugged in the charger. Even tho it was 90 percent charged. Now why did it do that 😢

So my MacBook's trackpad was behaving weird since this morning. Touch was working fine but for clicks I had to press down hard. Annoyed me all day. Then suddenly now it's fixed itself. So now I'm happy about it but im like, why, how. :/

Im here after a long long time!

Once again, I have bitten off more than I can chew. Agreed and agreed on every side project that came along and now I have so many at once I can’t handle

Friends’ kids broke my iPhone screen. I had tempered glass but the screen underneath also shattered terribly. How long should I be able to continue using this?

When was the last time I woke up in the morning? Oh that was before having the baby.

I want new spectacles >:(

I thought iPhone simulator was ONE THING that worked smoothly but NO, it is also a load of crap, hogging away the memory. Can’t develop ANYTHING without spoiling the mood because of this slow performance. It’s the same with android studio, Xcode, android emulators, and now simulator with vscode is doing the same thing. It’s 2020 you’d think a developer can write code smoothly on a huge MacBook Pro but no what a fucked up world, I’m hungry again, I have eaten up everything what to do I hate fruits !!

Some days I feel hungry all the time. Like today. Other days I don’t feel hungry at all even if I’ve eaten nothing.

I'm not getting why you guys complain about being judged for "hacking" while using the terminal.

In my case I'd occasionally like to open a terminal in my lubuntu (or archlinux in my previous times where the laptop was running smooth and i had to learn everything about how an OS works and spending most of the time searching about errors to find more desperate people and no answers but the community's hopefully growing and it's the best distro if you're an experienced linux user but not in my case so i had to use lubuntu for now until mastering it) to trigger those around me and try to prove them wrong afterwards.

I'll hit the airport for fun when i have time.

I ranted about it already.

```c++
if (vec.size() > 0) { // or whatever
cout << vec.size();
// ....
}
```

Its output was zero. And before you ask, it was a single thread program.

Aince it was for my thesis and I was in a hurry I didn't care too much for it.

Yet I think that it was a bug in clang. I removed that piece of code, compiled, rewritten it a bit differently and worked as expected. Never looked back.

Today I asked a stupid question on stackoverflow
Got a reply which I already knew
I just hadn’t implemented it as it had to be put in a complex part of code step by step.
I took the time and implemented the solution step by step and it worked.
Why have I become like this.....old and stupid....

How come @Jilano has zero rants but 28k points

Golang - should I use gin or should I not? Beginner here…..
It’s for a huge e-commerce rest api btw

My first software.. Okay. So first time I ever attempted was with my father, i was around 8 or so, i remember very little from it, but in nutshell, i somehow ended up at his job having day off school or something, no idea.

Apparently he was bored, so he decided yo show me... Basic. Yep, thats right. Frking basic. Anyway, he shown me some really basic stuff in basic, and pushed the envelope really hard, just trying to force into me more and more in these 8hrs. I started with filling screen with "o" characters. Most of times he was telling me what to write with elaborate explanation why. At the end of the day, we finished with simple maze game where player was "o" and maze walls was #. Without any goal, or anything.

Next day i was at point 0, understood nothing from it except how to handle keystrokes (and belive me, that for me was huge mindblow, and even bigger mindblow that it actually made prefect sense).

I dont remember much, but later i started with father-assisted c++ and some pascal. I immidietly loved c++ but dropped learning it for (NullPointer) reason.

Thats not really project imho, so now time for my actual first project.

It was about time when ARK survival evolved was a fresh thing, i was playing it a lot. Server admin became buddy. We all complained about max level cap, but to change it in config you needed to input whole new xp curve.

At that time i had great familiarity with google and computers, some thought i was some kind of PC god (seriously I heard someone saying so about me lol) just becouse I could ressurect most cases of broken windows. And I had next to zero programming expirience. It was about to change. I made first c++ actual program, that was making xp curve for you. It took me just bearly 2 days and was series of cin, cout, one file open, some maths in loop, and done. Maths was very bad. But i pushed it into steam forums, and one guy responded how.bad my math was, so we colabed on making 2 iteration. Took around week. Than half a year passed and we wanted go big. Go gui. I had no freaking idea how making gui looks like. Community liked my cli tool, we had quite a lot of downloads, why not go GUI. And thats when I discovered QT framework. And we had few features in mind... It took us half a year to make it. From 60 lines of code i jumped into 1k lines of code. We pushed it and immidietly started working on 4th version with much greater customizability etc.

Than i finished 18 and found a job. Job in php. I got it becouse I made this project.

Now project is abandon. This project also gave me a lesson that donations will not feed you.

Edit: and before you think about my father that he was nice person to show me code, trust me, i dont know bigger dick than him.

I too want a two-screens setup for my coding :( right now I just have a 13 inch MBP.

I'm unable to upload archives thru Xcode ever since I updated to version 8.2.1. Updating to 8.3.3 didn't help either. I always have to use application loader.

So we can’t tag people in rants?

It's evening already. I completed some of the tasks but still far away from today's target. I hate myself.

So after three days FINALLY I was able to make the fragment NOT reload itself when going back to it from the second fragment. Used show() and hide() in fragmentTransaction. Yayyyy! :D

Any simple, easy algos for solving the last/top layer of Rubik’s cube, anyone? This is the part where I always get stuck and have to google.

Android fragments are so damn stupid. They reload on popBackStack, how the f do I retain them? Tried so many things from stackoverflow but no luck yet. So many precious hours going waste on little things.

Look at this one

I wanted to update my previous rant in the comment but what happened is such a fucking nonsense I think it deserves its own.

For those who don't want to look what it is, just another C++ noob (aka me) complaining about how the language was a bitch to him by throwing a random SEGFAULT on release while it didn't show up on debug. Welp.

Half an hour and a ton of std::cout later (thought I would try to read a disassembly ? Think again) I figured out what was the problematic section of code. And guess what ? It was a section I didn't even modify and I never had problems with. Something completely unrelated to what I was rightly imagining causing the issue.

To identify which exact subsection was throwing the error to my face I added more tag code.
Rubbing my hands and ready to fix the fuck out of this damn shit, I built it, launched it…

And all of a sudden the code worked.

All I did. Was to add more cout to know which line fucked up. And now it works.

So. Serious question now: is it a clear sign from heaven I should stop working with such languages and should go back in my shitty high level languages kindergarten ?

99 ++ in a row!
I could never do this, admire the patience lol.

So my boss wants me to develop a complete business management solution + mobile app. (It’s a startup project based company). She doesn’t want to use dubsado / asana / etc and wants me to take the best of all and custom build it for her.
Now I was a mobile app developer. Native iOS and android + recently learnt flutter. No backend or web or api skill.
But screw it, I wanted to learn laravel since a long time anyway so that I could be an independent developer.
So I have agreed and started it...
Bitten more than I can chew? Time will tell...what do you think?

I want to paint...again...

My head - how the fuck u gonna paint with a full time job and a full time baby and full time housework.

Me - I don’t know how but I’ll do whatever the fuck I want.

Hunted out my paint box and brushes and kept em on table.....

Mini canvases...gonna start small, can’t handle big one for now...

Let’s seeeeeee

Atom vs brackets vs sublime vs vscode hehehe.
.
.
I mean which one do u prefer

So this cat (stray) used to come with her baby kitten, for food. Mama always fed the baby first, licked her, protected her....
Fast forward, now the baby kitten is all grown up. Now if she comes near mamas food, she gets growls and a nasty smack from mama cat. :D :D

cout<<"hello world";

Convo b/w female software engineer and her boyfriend;
him-Hey babe
her-Hello world;
him-??
her-Ohh no, I meant to say hy babe, actually u r my whole world;
him-Ooo pls!...wt were u dnh anyways?
her-been doing coding for last 12 hrs with boss;
him-gosh!! ...did u eat?
her-0;
him-??
her- I mean false;
him-false?
her-sorry , I meant no;
him-ur mom called , so call her
her-mom();
him-WTF?????
her-I will call her...dont worry;
him-I think u should rest for a while
her-while(project!=over) {work();}
him-U r enjoying this...irritating me...aren't u?
her-what? :)
him-When will u come home?
her-if(boss==leaves){cout<<"soon"<<endl;}
him-Now its too much...its really annoying...are u getting me? Have u lost ur mind?

him-i think we should break up
her-oh no!!, dont break; continue;
him-thats it, urBF.exit()
her-No wait..... ; is imp , write like....urBF.exit();

So disabling a lot of plugins in android studio made it a tad bearable and suffocates my system lesser.

I knew my week was over last Friday when I added a std::cout to debug some behavior and it would not compile anymore. Go c++ 😎🤘

So what’s so great about vim, everyone keeps talking about it.

Look at the battery level!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Only one rant allowed every 2 hours.........

I just remembered outta nowhere, how they’d fucked up the last episodes of game of thrones, so much for all the fan theories and the waiting ....turned off my mood.

It’s spring equinox!

I started using vscode for flutter yesterday and it’s so smooth! Android studio used to make my Mac so slow! Why didn’t I do this earlier!

Memememememememememe

.
Just bored.

Another 99’er

What can I say now. I’m Impressed by the speed :D

I really don't understand why tabs vs spaces is such a big issue. I mean does anyone actually use spaces? I mean I don't think ANY developer would use spaces when you have tabs!

So all u great web developers who use laravel. Do u use theme/template and build web pages / admin panels or do u do smth else...what about front end websites

I miss the old me. I realised this when I caught a fleeting glimpse of her in the rain that day.

Wtf m hungry again

Wtf devrant crashed at least 7 times today. And around 5 times yesterday.
All while clicking on some comment notif.

I finally learnt how to use Xcode storyboards and constraints properly. They’re pretty awesome and no longer annoying.

M bored

started with
printf("Hello World... It's 2010")

Journey to
cout
println
Document.write
echo

Stayed at
try:
print('hey there...')
except:
print('got issue.... Fu#k this bug')
pass

Cin has automatic line ending... cout doesn't... I call that discrimination!

I used to be somewhat funny. Now I think I’m getting old

I’m too comfortable with using laptop’s trackpad and never use mouse.

I want to start using mouse.

I tried but trackpad was more comfortable so abandoned it

But i really want to switch.

:/

Android studio - No matter how much better the performance after plugin disabling, it still remains shitty.
Makes me irritated for the rest of the day.

Except for writing and auto completing code.....VSCode is nowhere close....

Losing track of date and time coz of them kids

Devrant crashed again while opening a rant. Been doing this for some days now. Don’t do it devrant it annoys my sad irritated self. Ya know I’m too lazy to check fo an update too.....

I finally learnt flutter. Started in March, I’m deploying my second app now, third one is at 80 percent completion. Couldn’t have imagined this with native coding with Java and swift.

WASTED MY ENTIRE DAY AJD ENTIRE NIGHT.
MY flutter app isn’t running on iPhone simulator!!! I cleaned and deleted derived data and cleaned thousand times but it crashes at startup without error! What the fuckkkkk do I do!!????
Oh and my iPhone is not being recognised by any IDE Idk why. :((((((((( pls m so miserable pls dnt :(

I know am saying this for the ‘n’th time, but...

FUCK ANDROID STUDIO it’s a fucking pile of crap I hate it, after ‘n’ number of years you’d think it will run smoother after This update and that update but It has to pile up its shit on the processor and drag it like painfully in a primitive manner like a dying old tortoise, ..not even making sense. Fuck this.

Anyone here played captain claw in their childhood?

So what’s this EU article 13/17 that everybody’s posting about? All I picked was - websites will have to remove copyrighted contents. I don’t see what’s so new about that. Like fb YouTube etc already remove copyright content.

Bad coding style:

bool condition = false;

if(condition) { /* enough whitespace so that braces appear offscreen in editor*/ }{
std::cout << "hahahahaha" << std::endl;
}

if (vec.size() == 0)
cout << "Size is " << vec.size();
```

Output: "Size is 3"

Ffs

Finally completed the stupid boring never-ending android project and sent it to client. Phew! Now I can work on the other iOS app which I like. Yum.
