OHHHHH MY GOD I HAVE THE BEST IDEA

Make devRant avatars sing Baka Mitai (do the deepfake thing)

Waiting in line for a CT scan of my wisdom teeth, I have to remove it.

Me and @hardfault in this bitch together.

Sigh.

I can’t believe I am getting closer to 2000 upvotes after only 2 months of coming back.

Thank you for the support!

excuse the Imgur link.

This is how a detailed rant view would look like.

The top picture is going to be the full big picture of the avatar of the user who posted the rant / collab / whatever

I think something broke devRant? This happens on the browser client as well.

UPDATE ON THE SCHOOL NETWORKING SITUATION:

the entire country has entered total self-isolation for 3 weeks, which means no physical school for 3 weeks. I have to suffer at home for 3 weeks.

Fun.

(save me, please. I am beyond help.)

Tomorrow I might come back to school. They said they finished all of the network upgrades.

I will give you detailed descriptions of the network experience.

The last few days were very uneventful, weird.

Until now you saw pictures of the remake in cancer (white) mode. Time for the real deal.

YES I DID IT HOLY SHIT

Me when there's bible study in the morning

(note: this is my actual real face)

I am almost done with the recyclable Rant View structure, but now I understand the matters at hand.

Dynamic height UICollectionViewCell’s.

I am not even using UIKit, I’m using SwiftUI.

Welp, off to StackOverflow and days of UIViewRepresentables shenanigans.

Fuck.

👀

What do you say?

I already finished this recyclable view of a rant, I needed sample data so I just grabbed a rant from the recommended. :P

GREAT PROGRESS TODAY!

I already made the login part of the devRant rewrite and I can reliably log in and out of the app.

From here, it’s just API requests, JSON parsing and just fitting the data to templates.

...and the avatar system.

Fuck.

Best documentation?

Ucglib, a universal TrueColor library for many display controllers for Arduino. Seriously, this thing’s documentation is fucking SICK. They include so many fonts on there, every single one is customizable and every customization is documented.

Worst documentation?

Probably the Objective-C syntax documentation, it’s DIABOLICAL, you have to, first of all, FIND IT. After that, you need to understand the shitty language.

The DHCP server is off.

The school lied, Wi-Fi doesn’t work.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS WHAT A SHITSHOW

My school said 2 days ago that they are upgrading their networking equipment. They finished yesterday.

I SHALL COMETH WITH RESULTS LATER TODAY

TO DESTINY, GENTLEMEN! KEEP PUSHING!

I was having great progress in reverse-engineering the devRant Avatar system...

And then I came to the shirt list.

109 SHIRTS THAT HAD TO BE METICULOUSLY DOCUMENTED AND GIVEN AN INDIVIDUAL CODE

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I am currently reverse-engineering the devRant Avatar APIs, I think I understand all of it now. I am curently making comprehensive documentation on it and I think I will release it (if the developers of devRant allow me to do so).

I am reversing it as part of my project of making a devRant client built in SwiftUI, because I really want to make an avatar editor on there, it’s gonna be SICK!

Me and @asafniv cannot settle this argument and we need your conclusion.

What syntax makes more sense, Objective-C or Swift?

In my opinion, Swift's syntax is better than Objective-C, but Asaf's opinion the the opposite.

We failed to settle this argument and that is why we need YOU to give us your opinion.

In the comments I will send 2 identical functions, one is written in Objective-C, and one is written in Swift.

Today we had so much comp-sci at school that it actually became distasteful. And this comes from someone who is considered to be a big enthusiast and hype about computers...

I figured out why FS2020 crashed all the time.

One day when I was just casually playing FS2020, I bluescreened with a watchdog violation. For some reason this corrupted a DLL which was part of my graphics driver which is not required for the output to come out of course. The DLL is “atidxx64.dll”.

Somehow, this went unnoticed.

After digging into the extremely well-hidden crash log I found out that it accuses this DLL file, dug up on it and I saw that it is made by AMD.

Reinstalled the drivers and now it works fine.

FUCK MY LIFE I REDOWNLOADED THIS 95GB SIMULATOR 4 TIMES BEFORE DIVING INTO THIS

I have a Rubik’s cube that I solve when I need to clear my mind. That thing passes time SERIOUSLY well.

I AM SO READY FOR 1337 UPVOTES HOLY SHIT

God DAMN, abbie’s rant made me so fucking angry, I wanna kick someone

A devRant client built in SwiftUI for iOS, iPadOS and macOS devices.

Wtf is a binary tree

Its perfect

Not a co-worker but a personal friend, I am still developing with the dude. He is absolutely AMAZING when it comes to reverse engineering he knows much more than me in this area of computer science. Actually one of my first friends who actually geeks out over this shit.

Code? Stinky.
Customer? Satisfied.
Reason to live? Quenched.
Hotel? Trivago.
