So someone is constantly ddos'ing the privacy/security blog.

Just wondering if they really think that 500 hits a second will bring the site down?!

500 h/s consumes about 0.1 percent CPU and 1mb/s.

At least give me a challenge 😥

It's good that they clarify that baby food is not a number. Just in case you were wondering.

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

In season 1 episode 4 of Mr.Robot, Elliott plans on using a Raspberry Pi to heat up the storage facility in order to destroy the cassette tapes stored there. If he can get the temperature high enough, it would render those tapes useless. I was just wondering, can a hack like this take place in real life?

One part of me is wondering wtf I'm doing with my life and another part is just thankful it ain't JavaScript.

Our parent company nixed our entire QA team last year and now they wondering why our product releases are so unstable lately.

Who needs QA anyways. Their solution is to just stop writing code with bugs in it.

When meeting other devs, I'm always wondering if they are on devRant too...

Just went to a company to sign a contract for my internship in the summer holidays and there were 3 other people at about my age. 🤔

I thought about opening devRant in the elevator to see their reactions but it was very full and I couldn't do it...

Anyways if anyone reading this, just signed a contract, the ugly guy was me!

I just spend half an hour wondering why a unit test failed; turns out all calculations were done correctly, just that -5 + 3 was being calculated and the test expected the solution to be -1.
Well, -5 + 3 does not equal -1 and I'm too stupid to add.

Half an hour. (-_- )

So I'm just wondering if this happened to everyone else because a few friends of mine at work have corroborated my experience.

So, when I was very young and just starting to learn PHP, I was trying to grasp OOP. I read and read about it and did the example tutorials and nothing really did it for me. Then one day, writing some scripts for a game I played, it just hit me. Literally like "oh.....I get it. That's why this is a thing."

Just wondering, how many programmer's are religious?

Vue vs React...

Angular....meh....

I was wondering if anybody gets to sniff my wifi and finally finds my pass, so he is able to listen to my encrypted traffic and fully decrypt it (websites without https)!
That is far worse than just using my bandwidth!!
What do you think?
What else the attacker can get?

Watching the Social Dilemma. Interesting quote.

Anyone else seen it? or addicted to social media?

I'm wondering maybe because we're all tech... we sort of develop a natural immunity? or is it just me that has all social media apps' notifs turned off?

And rarely use social media... except devRant.

Installed SonarQube and Snyk on the CI/CD of a 2.5 year old project that only had a linter enabled previously.

Practically zero problems found. One minor problem (same code in different branches), a few false positives, and a few possible problems in dependencies that I have no control over.

Now wondering:
Am I really that good or are those tools just shit?

When you're wondering why you lost motivation to work in the middle of the day and it turns out you were just hungry 🙌🏼

I just watched this documentary called "take your pills" and seeing the weird programmer they interviewed I got curious about how many DevRanters use Addy as a coding booster? Would you consider it just a normal performance enhancer like caffeine? Have you tried it?

I've only noticed coffee heads like myself here and I was wondering if some of the people that aren't are against the use of Adderall too.

I'd love to hear some thoughts on the subject.

Are most programmers introverts? Just wondering cause I'm an introvert.

I was just wondering guys. If all developers speak English.

By speak English I mean easily able to communicate at a basic level because from what I know... all programming language had their base vocabulary in English language.

Just wondering!?

Hey!

This isn't a rant, I just wanted this out 😁

I did a site for a hotel many years ago. They recently had it redone as a Turdpress site, it was terrible, I have just checked today and it redirects to a facebook page. Wondering if this is a trend that I am not aware of. The facebook page, however doesn’t sell the hotel like the website does/can.

I need someone standing behind me 24/7 making sure I don't try to String == "test"
Just wasted half an hour wondering why nothing was happening

Just wondering why most of you here hate php. I have multiple live projects using the Laravel framework, runs great and I love it!

58 of 64 tests failed

Me: "what the actual fuck."
*spends 10 mins looking through logs wondering why these valid tests were marked as failed*
Me: "Oh shit I just configured the test case wrong"

what do you usually charge for an average website? 🙂

Just wondering how many of us, devs, smoke to eliminate code stress.

Is there a platform for clients to rant about their developers? Just wondering.

Got ncmpcpp/cava/mpd working! (if you're wondering why it's ubuntu, just read a few rants ago :'^> ) and loving it. i gues i'll just open this up for people to post rices or any sort of pretty config. i still shill arch, just not if you like steam and have an nvidia graphics card! i'm in school and i don't really have time to sit down and learn what i broke and how to fix it, even if its a minor issue.

Not planning ahead, just start at some point, adding just a tiny little feature after another, and then wondering why your to do app (just to check out a new framework or language) suddenly comes with Blockchain, a chatbot and a machine learning algorithm that (slowly) learns when the best time to show random cat videos is...

Just wondering, fellow devRanters...

Q: What is your favorite programming language, and why?

I'm currently studying Unity, so I'm in love with C#, it helped me understand a lot of concepts like namespaces, encapsulation, constructors, something that I was struggling to grasp with PHP, which I use every single day at work.

A great and very common web attack is known as 'SQL injection'.

So if I am using MongoDB, does that become 'NoSQL injection'?

All my tasks was development, last week our boss gave me a testing task, and I completed it.
He said that the developers will hate me if I keep reporting every expected/unexpected, small/big, normal/critical bugs , so that he sent me back to the development team.
I just wondering if I misunderstand the word "testing"!!?

Anyone here use Go? Just wondering...

Today, I looked at my company’s job description of my own profile.

Shit is full of buzzwords.

Wonder if that’s the case everywhere. Gives me some confidence to just apply to jobs without worrying about ticking all the points in the descriptions.

(For those wondering whether I did not see the description while applying for my current job.. actually, I saw it but didn’t take it too seriously because I just wanted to get a dev job.)

So I just spent probably 40 minutes wondering why rEFInd wouldn't fucking boot. Config? Nope. Boot partition being stupid? Nope.

Wondering how many people use git cmd and how many use different git clients.

I regularly use git cmd. I made a transition from clients a while back because I wanted to learn more about how it actually works and it works just fine for me, except when I have to google something I don't remember (like how to revert local commit)

Git clients will for sure do abstraction which can be both good and bad, but I'm wondering if there are any definitive pros for clients.

Just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with writing a window manager for x11? I have decided that would be a good project to kinda work on my c++ and so I can learn how x-server works. Any tips, tricks or references you guys have? The project is on my github called zwm.

I just spent a few hours wondering why Android Studio wouldn't recognize my phone. I later found out that it was set to "Use same device for future launches", but as i never used a device before it just didn't have a standard device and decided to just throw me an error instead of asking me to select a device. Yeah, Android Studio is great

What are the symptoms of a broken openssh server?

I completely lost access with connection reset by peer, however, earlier today I kept having my session auto disconnect on only one server, the only way I could gain access is to remove and then install openssh again

Just wondering, how many of you professionals did not go to college?

Just as a point of interest, who here enjoys Linguistics? (other than your programming languages, just wondering if one is relatable to the other)

What language should one learn in 2017 with a main purpose to create mobile apps?

!rant - survey time
Anyone using cucumber?
I am wondering if I step into it or just use RSpec

I've kinda concluded now that reaching games like Dirt 4, Project Cars seem to be unplayable with PC keyboards not matter how I configure since it's basically KeyDown/Up.

I'm sorta on the bench regarding getting a gaming controller though. Not sure which to get and how to hook it up, need like a USB convertor?

And just wondering how much of a difference will it make. Perhaps I just suck at real time since games...

One day (maybe) I will understand how the "bestest IDE in the world" (cit.) can consume over 10Gb of memory just... for being open while not editing any file or anything.

Just in case you're wondering I'm talking about VsCode and yes I know it's not an IDE just in case you want to point out :-) It's just I see more and more people referring to it as it was one.

How many users are on devrant? Just wondering

Just wondering... Why not many people in the software development industry do even lift?

Just wondering what would happen if gitlab failed to restore the data

Random as fuck, but anyone here that smokes pipe tobacco or enjoys cigars? what about dip tobacco? from my understanding, smokeless tobacco is far different in yurop than it is in the U.S

My friends in Mexico are pretty clueless about all of this except for cigar smoking, and regular cigarettes, dip tobacco was pretty much unknown to me until some time (mexicans are not very prone to smokeless tobacco it seems) and I currently enjoy a cigar here and there, just wanted to see what y'all thought about the hobby.

When you just want to build your app in peace, but instead get dragged to a wedding that was apparently planned by gorillas, and your entire afternoon is shot wondering why the bride and groom disappeared for five hours.

Going through my git commits and wondering why I would just commit every file under the same commit. More often than not they had nothing to do with eachother 😐

I am wondering..i learnt Java, later on PHP and during my internship Clojure and during some remote projects JavaScript and now because of my AI/Data Science ambition, hv been dwelling on Python and about R...am I going crazy or just confused...what paradigm should I focus on and stay there proficiently?!🤕🤕

I was wondering...

What do you guys think of different work places e.g not working at your desk but instead working outside with a laptop?

I think you would lose alot if productivity because your screensize is limited and so on while coding. But if you're just writing/replying to Emails i think it could be fun.

Rant pending...
So our company has been talking about bringing in the full Atlassian suite (JIRA, Bamboo, Bitbucket, Fisheye and Crucible). Anyone familiar with using the entire suite? Just wondering what kind of hell to expect.

The classic! Just spent the last 30 min wondering why the method wasn't doing what I expected, until I realized I was running the wrong one out of two almost identically named methods.. Im going home!

Hey guys, just wondering what you guys feel are the best resources to fully learn JS (looking to get into Node.JS).

Also, first post here! Been reading up, and can't stop!

Anyone here uses vim as an ide? I just read about it and was wondering if that is possible ... And if it really works well ...

I know, if I want an ide I should use an actual ide, but I thought this might be interesting, since vim is so powerful like everyone said.

Just ordered myself a raspberry pi 3 B+ and i was wondering if any one you have this already .. and if it works with a samsung charger 2A at 5V ?

Having just deleted my Facebook profile in the wake of the Cambridge analytica scandal (straw, camel etc) I was wondering..

Does the GDPR which I believe takes effect from May retroactively mean that Facebook will be forced to delete my data properly, not just "after 90 days it becomes anonymized"

Just spent 10 minutes wondering why my change log hadn't updated after I knew I made a change to a file.

I updated the public version instead of the src.

I was just wondering a little about my shitty life and I got curious: How many hours a day do you stare at screens?
I am not gonna give you my answer just yet, because I am ashamed of myself.

After develop a lot of project in PHP, I just accidentally wondering what is PHP stand for. And. . .in the end we still don't know what PHP is stand for. (Or know)?

just wondering... Am I the only one that likes the old Windows 95/98 graphic style? I find very simple and professional... I like old OSes GUI

I've seen posts about Manjaro quite a lot recently. Just wondering:

How many of us are using Manjaro as daily usage system. And why not other?

For me it is because it connects ease of use of Ubuntu (or even Win) with possibilities of Arch. And I always liked KDE. Plus it works out of the box, with Nvidia drivers ready and stuff.

Maybe noob question here, but what's the added value of using graph db like neo4js compared to regular RDBMS like PostgreSQL ? I see our beloved devrant uses neo4js so I am wondering if it's worth spending some time digging into this, just that (ok, actually it would be too cool to also have dfox and trogus appear in comments notifications)

I just loaded a css file with a script tag. And spent 20 minutes wondering why the hell I was getting missing semicolon errors. :/

Eurgh, sometimes there's just *no need* to change stuff between major API versions - such as the AWS secret key being read from aws.secretKey in v1 of the AWS Java SDK, and aws.secretAccessKey in v2.

Just spent way too long to admit wondering why the secret key wasn't being picked up before realising the above. Doesn't help we have multiple projects on differing major versions of the SDK either.
