Pure genius!!

My fiancé gave me and my son this for December!! She gets me❤

Finally got some time on my holiday to do some side project work! Turns out it was a looong time since I started this computer.
So what I believed to be one lovely night of coding turned out to be one looong night of software updating...

I'm soon off to bed. Fingers crossed that I'll get some more time to do actual coding soon.

Me and tech coworker opens office front door. Another coworker starts ranting how he accidentally hit som key combo and started some speech synthesis feature in Windows. Me and tech coworker both declared we had never heard of that feature before.
Ten minutes goes by, then muggle coworker comes by asking for help to turn it off. Tech coworker Googles solution in literally 6 seconds on the phone without even stopping the conversation we had going on when muggle interrupted.

How is it that muggles haven't found out that the Internet contains stuff?! And that it's searchable!!

Gaaaahhh

Lotus Notes anyone?

Pro tip when working on colleague's dirty computer! Even touchpad works!

Who is this guy of seemingly infinite wisdom?

Feature request: Being able to copy text from rants/comments on mobile. Also some sort of code formatting would be nice!

@dfox and @trogus, here's an idea! What if every 20th or so rant was an ad? But not any ad, but job ads posted by recruiters!
That way you get money and we get more stuff to laugh about!

Our new friend has been robbed of one ++! Seems unfair and unwelcoming, haha.

Every week since I started the company:

Boss "We need a special feed of resources for this customer."
We say "Great let's build support for custom feeds."
Boss says "Could we just hard code that resource in really quickly?"

This week:
Boss says "Could you make a system that dynamically let's me know what resources has been hard-coded in all special feeds, and that alerts me when a resource goes offline".

Now what should we respond?
Help us out! Best suggestion might turn in to an email to boss..

"Hi! I just sent you an email about a thing. No need to answer now.." 🤔🖕

Couldn't figure out why I had to make so many cats meow to learn how to program. I wanted to move things on the screen and create sounds. Then, dug up an old c64 and programmed myself a monitor and got into assembler which was a breeze compared to programming dumb text outputting felines.
After learning computers from the ground up, I started realizing that C++, C#, Java etc. actually wasn't at all about constructing and deconstructing cats or its base class animal.
I had one final go and it all just clicked!

Feature request: if everyone tagged memes and funnies with, say, meme, that way we could have a special feed for those. Some like em, some dislike em, everybody wins!
If a rant is really a meme, and it is not tagged as such, the downvote menu could include a "It's a meme" selection which would promote it to that feed. Whadda y'all say?

Hi friends!
I'm I'll since Sunday and my imagination is starting to fade. So far I've read/watched movies on deep learning and CNN, had a long session on Wikipedia on common fallacies, as well as a lot of other things. But now I can't think of what to do.
What is your favourite go to thing when you need to kill time using nothing but eyes and ears?
I'm too tired to code or play games...

Is there one thing right with this page's css? If they can't get such an easy thing right, why would I trust them on getting their server software right?

With regards to what @trogus writes here: https://www.devrant.io/rants/520228
I have now purchased double monitors for $8.99. Until @trogus and @dfox figures out how to monetize this wonderful place, may I suggest that everyone buys something for their avatar? The margin on those should be close to 100%.

On the subject of how much I would pay for using devRant, on one hand I use it more than Spotify which would mean I should happily pay $10/month, on the other hand I shouldn't be using devRant so much since my time is limited and devRant isn't exactly a productivity tool.
I'd personally be OK with every 10th or 20th rant being an ad though for instance. As long as they don't appear in comments.
I hope we all find a way to sustain this great place.

Most embarrassing app idea you've had...

Dear arbitrary online video tutorial. It is pronounced "et-cetera" and not "ek-cetera"... While we're at it, it's not pronounced "dekstop" either. 😒

Irony by devRant...

Get children! You'll have so little time over for your fun projects that you force yourself to stop procrastinating and start accomplishing truly amazing things in just 5 minutes here and 20 minutes there.

The feeling when you didn't spot what the error was here:

int x = 0;
int y = 0;

for ( ; y < rows; y++) {
for ( ; x < cols; x++) {
//Dafuq, only does one line?!
}
}

Is it just me, or does this emoticon look like a guy giving some serious middle fingers with Michael Jackson gloves?

@dfox ok, so found another bug in latest update this time. When I go to @Synth-Synapses profile and scroll down, it sticks and I can't scroll back up. App does not freeze however, I can navigate back still...

@dfox, this menu does not scroll on my phone, Sony Xperia Z-something (4?), but I guess the list ends with About...
Great new UI! 😀

When my boss acknowledged my effort in creating an in house scripting language. Makes me feel really really proud! 😁

"I just got out, and all dad cares about is getting one of these... 🤔"

Microsoft wrote it's documentation...

I started programming 7 years ago, but I downloaded my first tutorials on programming in C++ already back in 2000. I had read maybe 4 pieces of literature, didn't understand anything, because it taught things in this order 1, "So, say you want to create a cat?", no I don't. I want to make a useful program.
2, "then you have make a constructor and a destructor", makes sense since that perfectly replicates nature, not,
3, "then you can define a method in the class that enables your cat to meow", eeeh no it doesn't make a sound, what it does however is print a series of characters even less useful than "Hello World" to stdout.

Then I found assembler and it all made sense! 😀

I'm sure it's repost, and I don't know who to credit for this (my fiancé sent it to me), but this is so true ->
