Seems like the ad spammers are quite active recently. I‘m worried.
Also: fuck every single one of them human scum.12 -
I fucking hate it when apps are not named the same way as the fucking product or company. "Connect" app. Connect fucking what? "Mobile bank". Let me try to search for it using the name of my bank. Haha, oops, I forgot I should rather go fuck myself. MusicCast. You're fucking Yamaha and if I can't find you at Y then gods help me.2

Yay, our marketing person has quit only after 4 months. New record for the longest staying marketing employee!
This is the third marketing person since I started here and I won a bet with a colleague for how long they will last :D2 -
> "Just use power saving mode, bro! It will extend the life of your non-replaceable battery!"
Of course I bought a smartphone with powerful processors just to limit their performance for the sake of delaying the expiry of its non-replaceable battery.3 -
wish i had said "no way, shitbag, I'm on vacation" but what I've answered was "ok, boss"
I'll be changing numbers during vacation time from from now on -
The Code Abyss Beckons! 🤯
Hey fellow devs, brace yourselves for a wild ride into the chaotic realm of code confessions and debugging dramas! 🎢💻
So, here I am, standing at the precipice of my latest coding adventure, armed with a keyboard and a questionable amount of caffeine. 🚨☕
Today's quest involves unraveling the mysteries of a legacy code that seems to have been written in a language only decipherable by ancient coding sages. 😱📜
As I navigate through the nested loops of confusion and dance with the dragons of runtime errors, I can't help but wonder: Is this what the Matrix feels like for developers? 🕵️♂️💊
In the midst of my debugging odyssey, I stumbled upon a comment in the code that simply said, "// Abandon hope, all ye who enter here." 🏴☠️📛 Well, isn't that reassuring?
And then there's the moment when you finally fix that elusive bug, and you feel like you've just tamed a mythical creature. 🦄✨ Victory dance, anyone? 💃🕺
But let's not forget the rubber duck sitting on my desk, patiently listening to my monologues about algorithms and existential coding crises. 🦆🗣️
So, dear coding comrades, how's your journey through the code abyss going? Any epic wins or facepalming fails to share? Let the rants flow like a river of improperly closed tags! 🌊🚫
May your semicolons be where they should and your documentation be ever truthful. Happy coding, and may your merge conflicts be swift and painless! 🌈🤞

120fps and 240fps filming isn't just for slow motion playback, but recent smartphones have 120 Hz screens so those videos can finally be watched as ultra-smooth motion with audio.
If only all smartphones encoded high-framerate videos in real-time with the same framerate recorded from the image sensor instead of stupidly slowing down when encoding.
Granted, this is a thing Apple has always done right: they encoded their "slow motion" videos in real-time and let the user select the slowed-down portions during playback!
Let the user set their preferred playback speed in the video editor, don't dictate that 1× playback speed is 1/4 of real-life speed. 1× playback speed must be 1× real-life speed to clear up all confusion.
Besides, laptops with 120 Hz screens existed as early as 2011 (Samsung 700G7A)!. -
> "You don't need to film in 4K if you don't have a 4K screen!"
Besides the obvious fact that one might own a 4K screen in future, 4K (2160p) looks better than Full HD (1080p) on a 1600×900 "HD+" screen! It looks pure and clear thanks to higher bitrate and chroma subsampling.
What? You didn't know almost all consumer video cameras, including smartphones, record with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, meaning 1080p video only has 540p of colour information? It has 1080p of luminance, but not 1080p of colour.2 -
Think I spent 3 hours today trying to get docker to watch my files
I have concluded that, probably, this feature is too new and buggy and they shouldn't have released it
Maybe my googlefu sucks now idk
Also can the docker docs just get to the point, why do I have to click like 12 links deep and why are there multiple pages saying the same thing. Is Google behind this? Because this reminds me of Google's terrible documentation.1 -
So I had a printer ticket today at a school. School recently had an IP conversion done and apparently this specific Printer wasn't add to the Network..got the printer added. Confirmed the Drop was activated and made sure Network settings were configured properly with correct IP. Was able to talk to the Printer after pinging the IP and ran test print... Nothing printed out. weirdest thing. Whenever I hit print test page. I noticed the printer would say receiving Data for a quick sec and go away.. after some research found out this printer doesn't take the Basic Generic Driver. Needs to be specific to the Model. . After updating to the right driver. Printer is printing.2

I'm at a crossroads and could use some insights from those who've been there. I'm torn between pursuing a career in Computer Engineering and Information Technology. Both fields seem fascinating.1

You know pipeless, what this site is built on, actually looks like a pretty cool platform to work with.
Anyone used it? What was your experience?
(every time I end a post on questions like these, it always ends up *crickets*).2 -
I want to slap the previous devs on my team. Not the current ones, the previous once.
I don't need a comment on every. single. line. of. code
//verify thingies
if(thingies != null && thingies.count != 0) {
Like my god, i can read the if statement to know what it's doing, goddamn.
Comments should only be used when doing something that might not be immediately obvious to the next dev looking at the code.7 -
Hey Code-tards,
We're announcing a new update to our software `FUCK YOU` to include a new 'feature' no one asked and would give a FLYING FUCK about, but we were sitting on our MOTHERFUCKING ASSES and had to justify our salaries somehow.
So this new feature really just makes your life horrible by taking away or breaking all useful features you were PERFECTLY HAPPY with before, but FUCK YOU if you aren't happy with it and don't throw half of your salary our way every month.
Remember our library you were perfectly OK with, that u integrated in your codebase? DEPRECATED from this second onwards. WHY? BECAUSE FUCK YOU ! That's WHY.
Oh yeah, and one last thing before we make your life a living hellhole, give us your SSN, credit card(s) and mortgage payments to us, you money-hungry CUNT. Haven't you heard the phrase already? YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY.6 -
