I usually don't post such things, but the Flat Earth Society just replied to @iamdevloper on Twitter!
What a legend haha

Write code on paper.

Didn't.know you can zoom in the Avatar Builder 😲

I love Asus Products but who thought it would be a good idea to have the POWER BUTTON right above the DAMN DELETE KEY!?!?!?!!?
I often press the FUCKING POWER BUTTON accidentally... GOD DAMMIT...

Making a game with my friend. He drew shitty images (sprites) and I made a shitty game. We had so much fun!

I hope DevRant won't get that popular, so we can stay such a cool small community!

I encrypt passwords with Base64

THEY DID IT!!!! THEY FINALLY DID IT!!!!
GITHUB FINALLY ADDED THIS FUCKING BUTTON!!!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING 😱😱😱😱

My boss's name is Skayo.
He's the best and the worst boss at the same time!

He does let me play video games during work hours, but he doesn't pay me :(
Also when I'm really unproductive, he doesn't even try to motivate me to do some actual work... It may not sound like it, but it sucks.
On the other side, I can just choose which project I'll be working on, which gives me a bit of freedom!
No coworkers tho...

1. Have idea
2. Write down features that thing should have
3. Make a wireframe design
4. Write down possible names for it
5. Open GitHub-Repo
6. Never start coding it
7. Cry

Well... There is an App called 'Tinker' where you can create games and stuff with a Scratch-like programming language.
One day I made a really simple 3D Rendering Engine and as a demo a rotating cube.
Then I published it.

The Tinker-Community consists of mostly little children and therefore they were really impressed :D

The project is now in the top 10 of the most viewed projects!
(There are thousands of other projects on Tinker.)

Yeah... I felt like an badass...

@dfox @trogus How about ++ milestones?
F.e.:
404 ++'s: “Error 404“
255 ++'s: “256 Bytes“
69 ++'s: (Well you know...)
And so on... (be creative)

I'm still a bit worried...

My little cellar room 🤗
(Usually much more messy than that, just cleaned up a bit for the photo)

In IT-Class:

Random: Ey watcha doin?
Me: Programming. What else?
Random: Oh, you're such a nerd...
Me: Programming is fun! I really like it.
Random: Please don't say this is your hobby...
Me: It is.
Random: Bruuh... *goes away*

Why the fuck are you here, if you're not interested in programming???
I don't understand such people.

Google added some StackOverflow support. Huh. Nice!

IntelliJ IKEA

Started using VS Code yesterday. As a Sublime Text user, I love it!

Me and myself have worked on so many projects together but somehow we never really finished any of them...

I hate it when people say they want to "GET a new girlfriend"...
Shouldn't it be "FIND a new girlfriend"?
I mean you can't just go into the supermarket and get some butter, milk and a new girlfriend. You can't buy them. By saying that, you seem to me as if you're treating women as objects. I know it's technically possible to buy a girlfriend, but that's prostitution.
I think that "GET a new girlfriend" just doesn't sound right...

Your opinions?

Status update after my first day of my internship:
I realized I know literally nothing about SSH Keys.

Bye.

Google. I can find ALL the answers I need 😁

Look what I've just found in the attic haha
Still working!

Some Romanian "Hacker" is trying to hack my forum xD

He tried to call the setup script for PhpMyAdmin, but I don't even have PhpMyAdmin installed because I use MongoDB xDDD

I'm lying on the floor laughing

Got annoyed by the super bright default theme of the Arduino IDE. Decided to make a dark theme for it! Turned out pretty well!

Unfortunately there is no official way of themeing right now, therefore I had to edit some files in the program's directory, which was a pain in the ass to do... (and kinda scary)

I tried to adapt the Material Theme in Sublime Text btw.

Here's a comparison:

Help me...
My class is full of retards....

If found a Website with a nice Guestbook. Funny thing: HTML-Code and JavaScript-Code in the message was not getting escaped. So I wrote a little JS-Script wich alerts “Nope“ and the then redirects to pornhub.com after page load.

After about 2 WEEKS of funny redirecting, they updated their site and HTML-Code is now getting escaped.

Today I ran a Killer-Batch-Script on a School-PC.
After I run it, the PC instantly started to lag af and stopped working.
So after about 1 minute, I force-shutdown'd the PC.
But when I restarted it, it didn't boot.
(Boot-Disk was somehow not found)
I quickly stood up, went to another PC and pretended like nothing happened...
Never (NEVER) do that with you own PC.
Here's the script if you are interested:

React-Redux's connect() function inspired me to create the coolest way to add numbers in JS:

<script>
function add(num) {
return function(otherNum) {
return num + otherNum
};
};

console.log( add(2)(3) ); // Outputs 5
</script>

I didn't know you could do that. Just found it out!

YAY! :D

So this guy starts a Kickstarter campaign to collect 50$ for his chicken nugget calculator app...
He wants 50$ to get a playstore license which costs 25$? (I think)
And then to make the app probably takes not even an hour.

I hope this is a joke haha

When the purpose of your app starts with a "C" then just replace it with a "K" and tada: You have a cool new hipster name for it!

Example:
Collaborate -> Kollaborate

How cool is that?!!

Got a new mouse! (old one broken)
This thing is so sexy!!! 😍
> SteelSeries Rival 600

That happens when you don't add a character limit to the username xD

Have to get up at 4am.
I go to bed at 22pm.
Body doesn't want to sleep until 2am....

I love my body! <3

So today in school, we wrote our first Hello-World-Programm.

Everybody copied my work...

There are two types of people on DevRant:

Those who add tags
and
those who give a fuck about them.

Checked the GitKraken save files for fun (kind of a hobby) and oh well.... what a wonder:
They store your fucking GitHub access token in "plain text" in a hex file as you can see in the image.
I checked the token and it works. Wow.
Good job GitKraken ✔
That happens when you're closed source...

A black cat just crossed my path on my way to school...
I hope my code is still compiling today!

My designer is named Skayo and he really sucks.

Sublime text finally has font ligature support!!!
Now I can use Fira Code properly!

I always wanted to have comments in JSON files, but I just discovered a really good alternative:
{
"//": "This is a comment",
"somekey": "somevalue"
}

Looks kinda ugly but it works! No need for special unconventional parsers and shit.

So yesterday I posted that no one here in the company listens to music while working, and today suddenly half of the people wear big ass headphones xD

I have the feeling they read my devRant help

Automating literally everything

Multi-billion dollar company - don't write fucking changelogs

At least write "Fixed some fucking bugs" or something...
Is it that hard?

“What OTHER skills do you have?“

I feel weird....

Finally more space for my ideas!
This desk is huge!
=> 200x160cm

Can't tell what my most successful project is...
But according to GitHub Stars, my
most successful project is my RandomQuote Bot (@RandomQuote).
The story behind it is pretty boring:

One day little Skayo thought: "Hey there is no bot on DevRant yet, let's make one!".
Then he began to think: "But what should it do? What would be easy to do for an inexperienced programmer like me?".
Suddenly he got an idea: A Bot that posts a random quote everyday!
Yay!
He instantly started making it.
About a day later, it was finished.
"Let's bring this thing to live", he thought.
And there he was, quickly getting a lot of fucking ++'s...
This bot is like my first born child! I am so proud of him!

And that's the story behind the bot.
Very spectacular, isn't it?

"Eww that is not Dev-related!"
Shut the fuck up. For me, devRant is a social media for developers and not a social media about only dev-related shit.

"devRant is a fun community for developers to share and bond over their successes and frustrations with code, tech, and life as a programmer!"
You see?
"for developers"
"about code, tech and *life*"

For fucks sake... Stop crying around and just dislike it if you don't want it.

OH FUCK ARTICLE 13 COULD BE HAPPENING
goodbye github.... goodbye memes....

I am using MUCH more keyboard-shortcuts now...
Even in Googe Docs and Chrome

Congrats to @dfox for 20000++'s!

256 rants!

Holy fuck this new GitHub feature is amazing!!!
It's called GitHub Actions and you can easy automate your work flow using a simple graphical editor!
I need to test this out right fucking now!

Redesigns are good!

(Before Pic in comments)

New pet ❤️😍

Time-Travel so I don't have to worry about deadlines.

"Shit, redefined."
"Shit, reinvented"
"One shit to rule them all!"
"A new era of bullshit"
"The world's 1st portable pile of shit!"

-> Typical Kickstarter slogans... 
Seriously I found at least five campaigns using them! Wtf how uncreative can you be!?

Sololearn in one picture:

Wrote for-loop without learning it in school-lesson.

Teacher says I have a gift...

First time in years that I've hugged my best friend. Felt weird and we got really confused looks from the others (class full of boys n shit), but we were so happy because we both got a really good grade on an important test!

Why isn't this a common things men do!? We should all hug more 🤗

Fuck yeah Article 13 is coming!

It's finally here!
I love this little thing!
Let's see what I'll do with it... I planned on making some games but for now I will probably just use it for playing old retro stuff

- Information -
The RandomQuote Bot is out of order. No more quotes to post...

Skayo, the owner of this bot, is currently working on an alternative to the quotes. Please be patient!

Thanks,
Skayo

I listen to some nice music, while programming.
Mostly Electro Swing, Chill and Pop.

The avatars items can be updated via the secret api, without an app update

@JS96 seems to be the only person who knows this api (3rd party) since there is a black raven in UWP avatar editor.

@Skayo searching for the api...

@Floydian thanking @trogus

@dfox staying quiet

devRant being an avatar fam.

I would build Robots. War Robots. To fight against the A.I.
😈

Definitely Godot Engine. One of the greatest and easiest Game Engines I have ever used! Lots of great features and there are getting more and more!

The inbuilt programming language GDScript is really awesome too! It's a custom language built extra for the Engine, which makes it super easy to use and integrate! The syntax is a bit like python but better.

Because it's not as old as unity or unreal engine, it's not as feature rich. But I think that's okay. It allows you to get used to the current existing features, and then heading on to the new ones.

What I really enjoy is that, just as in this community, you can just talk with the creators of the engine. Asking questions, suggesting features and discussing things! They'll answer nearly everything!

Not to mention the graphics! They are really good and are nearly able to compete against Unity!

There's also a visual language you can use. Just like Unreal Engine Blueprints! Never tried it tho...

The scenes system is very easy to understand. You basically have a lot of "components" which you can use in each of your scenes. This also allows for making simple extensions!

All in all, a great engine! If you are a game developer I can definitely recommend trying it out!

Use OOP, my father once said. Truly wise man, he was...

NOT. ENOUGH. SHORTCUTS!!!

Whoohooo!
UPLOAD FILTER!!!
ARTICLE 13 IS HAPPENING!!!
BYYEE GITHUUUB
YAAAAYYY
KILL ME PLEASEEEE

Ayyyy!
I'm a supporter now!

Status update after fourth day of my internship:
WordPress.... Do I need to say more?

Writing a list of censored words is fun!
Hehe

All these people hearing music in the train or somewhere else... It's fucking annoying! Even with headphones! You can hear through!

We don't want to hear your shitty music. Fuck off!

Hey devRant

Is it okay to have a Kali Linux Wallpaper on a Windows Desktop?

@dfox @trogus How about a !rant option to automatically inform users that the rant isn't really a rant?

First time ever I convinced someone to join devRant!!
He's another intern in this company!

Welcome onboard, @kosimst!

I hate it when my classmates don't fucking indent their code properly.
IS IT THAT HARD?

Choosing to be a PHP Developer

Need help with creating an awesome-list for devRant!
If you have any devRant-related projects, please add them!

Today in programming class someone said "Nobody understands that shit"... And I'm sitting here with my nearly 4 years of experience in programming... :(

Why use Vue.js, Angular or React when you have jQuery???

No, seriously I just finished 4 Javascript Projects without any front-end framework.

"Hey cool this very trustworthy IQ Test Game I found on the PlayStore says I have an IQ of 120"

*2 hours later*

My grandfather has two anti virus programs installed, but only wants one.
Guess who has to fix it...

"Like Facebook, but different!"

So, I have this little USB Stick with a Kali Linux Partition on it which I use for school. (I boot up from the USB instead of the installed windows, so I have all my personal data everywhere I go)
But somehow I forgot the USB in class last week... 😭
Today I'll ask the teacher if he found anything. Wish me luck!

Just found out about Yue, a GUI library for Node.js, Lua and C++ (and owners of the "gui" package on npm).

It is so awesome! The RAM usage is so low compared to Electron! Of course it has its limitations and doesn't use HTML + CSS + JavaScript, but you can still build really good applications with it!
I'll show you what I'm making at the moment soon, so stay tuned!
Anyways I've built the same application in Electron and Yue, here's the comparison of the RAM usage:

Tomorrow my first ever internship at a web development company starts! So excited!

No cat anymore.....

To all the game developers here:
This really needs more attention.

What's this ugly thing here?
Hmm... 🤔

New Avatar item and no update? Are the items in the avatar builder fetched from the api? Would be an interesting endpoint for my api docs.
Will do research.

What if devRant was created by the NSA to make paranoid devs feel more comfortable and share some private information they wouldn't share on other social media?
🤔

Recently started watching Silicon valley and I'm already in love with it!
Too bad it's not on Netflix and I have to watch it... you know... somewhere else.

Fucking Square Enix Website is just a huge pile of shit. NOTHING WORKS!

Wanna change your password? Nah sorry an error occured.

Wanna change your username? Nah sorry I'll just show you a loading symbol forever.

Wanna add a game to your collection? Nah sorry the "add" button is on fucking holiday and doesn't do anything.

Wanna change your avatar? Nah sorry I'll just redirect you and don't do anything.

Most amazing part is where you log in, then get redirected to the home page but it still shows the "Log in" button. Then you click on that "Log In" button and wosh! Home page reloads and tada! You're logged in!

Seriously who let this code into production? Also I know that you're using GraphQL now, due to an error message. Thank you!

Fucking bullshit...

YouMod - Easy Moderation for your YouTube Channel!

We are building a website to allow big YouTubers to add other moderators who help you with your YouTube Channel.
Set Permissions, see what they are doing, and much more!

Second place when searching "devrant docs". Fuck yeah!

I rarely use a regex from StackOverflow. Most of the time I write my own!
I'm so proud...

Raspberry Pi's Raspbian Jessie looks really great! (In my opinion.)

I once had to convert the complete mcpi Python-module to Python 3 in order to use it....

Except my class being full of fucking idiots (see another rant...) I wouldn't change nothing.
Pretty happy right now!

Currently using Matomo instead of Google Analytics.
Definitely a good alternative!

Especially if you don't want a big company to track YOUR users.

In PHP, this:
<?php
if($a < $b) {
$c = 'W';
} elseif($a > $b) {
$c = 'E';
} else {
$c = ' ';
}
?>

Does the same as this:
<?php
$c = ' WE'[$c<=>$a];
?>

How cool is that?!? xD

So I installed Avast because I was downloading some torrents.
After months I suddenly hear a really loud "*ping* *ping* *ping* Eine Bedrohung wurde gefunden". I nearly got a heart attack. I thought I've got a fucking maleware shitty fuck thing, but I had no idea how I could find out where the fuck it was coming from. So I ignored it.

Then, weeks later again: "*ping* *ping* *ping* Eine Bedrohung wurde gefunden", while I was browsing the web.
I thought it was coming from a website so I looked through every tab and window. But nothing.
So I googled the exact sentence it said, and voila:
The first result was from the avast support site.

I opened avast and looked into the settings. There! A checkbox to turn it off! These fucking cock suckers enabled it by default!
It was the first time I enjoyed clicking a fucking checkbox. FUCK YOU AVAST!!!

Why is AntiVirus Software so shitty these days... I'll probably just switch to Windows Defender.

Currently creating a little 3D Soft Engine.
Very happy with my current state!

Here is a little demo:

Are there rants with negative ++'s?

Working on future projections for the DevRant-Stats Site.
According to the calculations, I have 10000++ in 3 fucking years...

:/

Perhaps?

They roast their own coffee at Dropbox. I think I've found my dreamjob...

Am I the only one who never used the numpad on the keyboard?

Finally Godot Engine 3.0 is out!
Wohoo!

I already have a little game in mind that I want to build after my current project.

Error 404: ++'s not found.

Status update after my second day of my internship:
I'm pretty good at making todo-lists.

WOW!

Using Markdown since 2 years and I didn't know that you can add 2 spaces at the end of a line to force a line break....
I've always added <br> or hit enter twice to do that. Wow

I'm getting really addicted to commit strip-comics...

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
The future projections statistics should now be available for most of the supporters!

Have fun!

<<<<<<<<<<@Skayo>>>>>>>>>>

document became do***ent

I see what you did there

Convinced another fellow developer to join devRant:

Welcome @binogure!
He's an indie game developer I met online and I'm helping him to translate his game, "City Game Studio", at the moment.
Check it out! The game is currently in closed beta and it's really awesome!

#ad ;D

Ranting about Facebook and using Instagram. Wow...

Paint is going to be removed from Windows! 😢

@dfox You complained about the mobile version of GitHub, so maybe this could be interesting for you!

What the fuck?
Are vegans that special to need a fucking own dating site??!
Are normal dating sites not good enough for them?

Funny part is that he says there have been some other vegan dating sites before. None of them did it. Of course his will! Because his sites will do ads. And ads means thousands of users!

Somethings happening 😱

I'm tracking your searches on devRant-Stats! hehe 😈

Laravel, but I'm getting better

function sum(a, b)
return a + b
end

Just got an invitation for my first job interview ever... uh... fuck.

Wish me luck!

Making games for my TI-Nspire CX CAS is so much fun!
It's so simple but you can do a lot with it. It's also a bit of a challenge because you don't have a huge API with lots of methods and events. You have to use what you have.
Oh btw you can program it with Lua!

Thinking about creating a tech news account on devRant. A little idea that just came to my mind...

The account will contain all kinds of news! (about the tech industry of course)
So for example when a company acquires another company (IBM > RedHat, Microsoft > GitHub, etc.), a well-known website/app gets new features or a company releases a new smartphone, we will inform you here!

Of course I'd need some help if I wanted to do something like this. Especially from other timezones! (I'm im Austria/Europe)
Write a comment, if you're interested in helping out! The more people, the better!

Only company that I really "hate" is Abstergo haha.

All others have their up and downsides I guess....

Microsoft:
+ Xbox One
- Windows

Apple:
+ iPad Mini (don't know any company that produces such high quality but very small tablets... Therefore I still use my ~6 years old iPad Mini 1. (The battery life is insane! After all this time it still lasts about 6-7 hours!)
- The new iPhones. No innovation. Just making money.

Samsung:
+ TVs
- Smartphones (a few crashes here and there, kinda ugly, explosions!)

LG:
+ TVs (webOS is the shit!)
- Heard the Smartphones suck, not sure

And so on....

Just got this very interesting email...

Sololearn has probably the dumbest community I've ever seen...

I know that there are lot of beginners who just started learning programming, but if you can't even use the app, I don't think they will be able to learn programming.

Also all these little kiddies who want to get some badass hackers but don't even know how to do a fucking course (There are lots of questions like "Where can I learn HTML" while they are right in the fucking app, like holy sheeet).

Sometimes I browse the Q&A just because there so funny and dumb questions. Really amusing!

CSS gradients are so ugly 🤮
I makes the website look like from 2003...
(When used incorrectly)

Why are people doing this?
Poor websites...

When I see sth like this I have the urge to write the creator an email and ask for improving the site...
Do other Web Designers have similar problems? Help...

When I don't have the motivation to work on one of my projects, I just wait, play some games, start a few other projects, and eventually, I start working on it again sometime.
Works most of the time.

I'm surprised that nearly no one here in the company listens to music while working. Am I the only one who does this!?!

Awesome library without docs....

Fixing bugs is always fucking satisfying

DevRant-API-Docs Site Update:
QA is in the works. Will try to keep it as simple as possible!

The "all questions" page front end is done. Now there's only the "new question" page and the "view question" page.

@skayo are you still around?
I have wish 😊
Could you please make a devRant Bot for answering to newbies?

Like... rookie: "halp i want to learn JavaScript, what should i do?"
heyheni: @ newbiebot js
newbiebot: Hi @ rookie welcome to dev Rant. The community for developers to rant and vent. Here are some free JavaScript learning resources
- freecodecamp
- scrimba
- JavaScript 30
...
Best of luck!

rookie: but i want to do android apps to!
heyheni: @newbiebot android
Newbiebot: hi welcome...

what do you think?

Happy new year!

So this is what a test looks like here in my school...
I really like my teacher but his test are... uhh... fucking awful.

I mean the code isn't even indented ffs! Like wtf?!? How should one be able to read this bullshit?
The questions are shitty too.
Also please add line numbers so it is easier to describe how things work in the code.
AND USE FUCKING A4 PAPERS FFS!!!

Thanks,
an experienced student

Sometimes when I'm sitting in the train, I feel like I'm in a kindergarten...
For real there are so many children here wtf.
Annoying babies screaming, parents playing fucking annoying children songs for their babies on like full volume (Hello WTF!?!) and children that run around in the train.

I fucking hate it...
But the train is completely full so I can't go to any other seat.

Stupid parents...

We really need a upperline. Why we have a underline, but no upperline? Also, ASCII-Art would look much better.

Is it possible to train a neural network to detect devRant avatars? Could be an interesting project...
Hm. Maybe later.

Nuxt.js is motivating me to learn Vue.js
Huh.

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
Future projections & Live General Section

Added some future projections like SocialBlade, where you can see your score in the future, according to the stats in the last 30 days. Therefore it will only be available after storing the stats for 30 days.

Also made the complete "General" section live now, and replaced "Live Score" with "Devrant++ Member since".
So now the values are updating every second! (Using EventStream so not working in Edge Browser lol idc)

Have fun!
Feedback is appreciated!

So you may have noticed that I'm making a way to create devRant Webhooks (see last rant), but now I need you help:

What Webhooks would/could you need?
What does it do?
What additional fields does it need (for example for specific tags)?
What data does it send?

Thanks in advance!

Holy fuck... Ruby has the best fucking syntax ever!
Ruby is so awesome!!!! (But Lua is a bit better)

I have the urge write my own javascript framework for my personal projects.
But I think it's harder than I think 😬

Probably should start with a PHP one. Much simpler.

Already have my own DB Lib is use a lot. Good start.

Because everyone else is ranting about this too:
I'm not afraid of Microsoft wanting to monetize everything or that they will restrict site access to Microsoft Edge only. What I am afraid of is that they change the privacy policy.
Who knows what they are up to?
I hope GitHub is awesome enough to decline the offer.... Let's see.

Fucking ESP8266 does not want to flash. Fuck you!!! Why are you doing this to me??!!

Collab tab gone? :(

There is a Codingame Level wich took me a whole fucking day. I was soo happy when all those test cases passed!

I really want to build a raspberry pi cluster but I don't know what to do with it...
Has anyone of you ever built a raspi cluster?
What could I do with it?

That great feeling you get when your teacher asks you some things about RegEx and you know fucking everything!

allUpperCase = true
for char in rant.message:
if !isUpperCase(char):
allUpperCase = false

if allUpperCase:
rant.category = "rant"
else:
rant.category = "!rant"

Really excited about Google Chat/RCS.
My mobile provider is probably the first one to support it in Austria!

I fell in love with CodeIgniter...
It's just a so simple but powerful and feature-rich PHP-Framework.

I like prefer CodeIgniter over Laravel!

My goal for 2019 is to finally get into game development and release my first game on itch.io!

Also I want to finish a few side-projects, as always...

Fuck yeah!
Had my first job interview ever today!
Not gonna say it was very good but it definitely wasn't the worst!

Let's see if I get a happy reply!

Some tags on devRant are really fucking cringy...

Finish more side projects so I finally have something to show off

DevRant-Stats Site Update:
A little Christmas Present for you!
-> Graphs!

Added two Graphs now to view the stats of the last 30 days.
Unfortunately the system is running since yesterday and there is not much data...

Little tip:
If you click on the labels above the graph you can disable them!

You guys heard of the MEAN Stack?
I'm currently learning it...

It is basically the combination of MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS and Node.js

@Skayo
Is there a reason why the devstats is supporters only?

I think one of the hardest part while making an RPG game is setting the prices of the shop items and determining the rewards you get from quests.
Really struggling right now...

Quiz:
Wich one is Powershell, wich one is CMD?

I fucking love Austrian politics...

Soooo....
I just found out that the devRant WebApp has a fucking dark theme...
After using the light theme for so god damn long...
Can I have my healthy eyes back?
