@dfox I sent you an email regarding a better, safer implementation of the third-party notification server! Can you take a look?

So I just noticed something.

When I am using my client when I am connected to LTE and not a good WiFi signal, the app hangs every time you want to vote on a post/comment because I didn’t make it non-blocking. This will be fixed in the next few days!

It’s amazing how experience degradation can be absolutely invisible depending on your connection.

Progress on the ESP32 studio equalizer project! It looks much better and has less stupid silly cables everywhere.

The time has come.

Today, I am giving everyone full public access to my devRant client for everyone!

In order to install the client, you need to install TestFlight and then open this link:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/...

This will let you join the public alpha/beta.

Please note that I will not be uploading the app to the iOS App Store because dfox doesn't allow it.

Please also note that this version of the app is quite early, and there will be glitches and bugs. The app automatically reports crashes to me, so I would know if there is a bug in the app.

My second prototype of the studio equalizer. It’s not even close to being done. It’s barely even started.

@dfox, please look at your email.

I begin by just writing my ideas and them attempting to roughly image their execution in my head, and then start to write the code. I found this method to pose the smallest amount of holdups and issues. Of course, you might have to rethink some procedures but it mostly works.

Personal life update:

Like I said a few rants ago, I got a job in a call center for a national Japanese food chain. I am getting a pretty good salary for a teenager, and I am being paid the same amount as the other call center agents.

What I didn’t tell you is that I am doing a pre-university SAT, and it’s pretty much destroying me. I regret choosing to do it.

About AltRant: currently on short hiatus, though I swear to god that I will DEFINITELY upload it to TestFlight so you can get a taste of the app. All I ask is patience. I think I will wait until iOS 15 is out because the latest betas created a massive issue in a few parts of the app. All of them are aesthetic but damn it, I want to fix them only when they are officially there to stay because right now iOS 15 is still in beta.

FUCKING FINALLY

I GOT THE APPLE DEVELOPER CERTIFICATE

PUBLIC TESTFLIGHT PARTICIPATION SOON

THIS IS SLAMMIN

Good news!

I recently found a job at a call center for a local Japanese food joint, and I will finally get enough money for a paid Apple Developer certificate, and now I will be able to publish the app on TestFlight, have proper notification services, etc! I will update you on the situation.

Here it is.

The CS final.

I reached this point in my life.

I hope I won’t forget the base case in recursion like last time and fuck up an entire question.

My friend sent me this and I don’t think I ever laughed harder at a dev joke.

Aussie people make everything funnier, idk why (if it’s a repost then sorry)

Objective-C.

Nuff said.

Say what you want, it’s good he’s gone.

speen with me

Meme isn’t mine! I don’t know who made it though, so sorry if it’s a repost.

THE TIME HAS COME, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I finished the avatar editor on the rewrite. It works so well.

After trial and error in design, API reversing and more, I've finally done it.

Tomorrow is my first actual, serious final. It’s in English. This final is actually provided by the Ministry of Education. I hope I will do well.

I wasn’t paid for this, this was part of a school project I had to do about 2 years ago when I was in 9th grade.

We had to do something in biology and me and my friend both decided we should make an informational app that shows info about different kinds of birds. It was an Android app, it was before I moved to iOS development.

We knew absolutely nothing about advanced layout development and constraints and layouts or anything, and we barely knew how to navigate the Android UI framework.

We had like 5 days to work on this shit. We wanted it to look nice and somehow we came up with a layout that doesn’t look all fucked up between form factors and we barely had to code anything in Java, it was all just layouts and shit. But we knew absolutely NOTHING.

We totally failed. The project stunk so much I don’t have a backup of it anywhere and I am glad that is so.

Looking back at this shit ass project, I can see how much I learned in the process in terms of app development and my general knowledge and skills in computer science, 99% of it by teaching myself.

Update on my health: I am completely fine, just like @SoldierOfCode! We are making sure to listen to the news and go to the shelter when there’s sirens.

Please don’t get political in the comments, I don’t want to spark a shitstorm in this post.

I am getting really close to actually FINISHING the avatar editor, this took way less than I anticipated but there are still many bugs in that thing that I haven’t discovered yet and that I have already discovered.

TFW your graphics ASM code works on the first try.

Yes, it just happened to me, and it's a relatively annoying rectangle drawing routine.

Writing complicated ASM code and making it work on the first try is definitely a new thing to me, I feel so powerful! >:D

I got absolutely upvote-bombed!

@-red

Thank you for noticing my progress with the rewrite! :D

This is huge progress in almost 0 time!!

I'm so fucking done with all those "woke" YouTube programming tutorials like: "Why you should NEVER use else statements", "Why functions should ALWAYS return a value", "Why switch statements are actually EVIL" and stuff like this
I swear to fucking god

It’s the second maths pre-final exam today. Next after that - the finals.

I feel more ready than usual, I practiced more than I usually do before this test.

Wish me luck!

English pre-finals today.

No literature, just an unseen, grammar, vocabulary and listening exercises.

I am going to ace this.

Today is Israeli Independence Day! We are having a barbecue, here is a picture.

These are the absolute WORST cookies I have ever eaten. If you are Israeli or will come to Israel one time, avoid at all costs.

Please.
