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.

!dev !rant

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.

I have to study for bible study finals... 15 pages of summary. Yes, 15 pages for just a summary.

I don’t even wanna learn this shit 😭

All app/web layout designers, I need your help with layouts for my app. I am struggling with a very specific thing: image sizes. What are the general guidelines for touch devices and windowed programs? Should I eyeball the max width and height? What if it's on desktop and I am making the window larger / smaller?

Any help is absolutely appreciated, I had perfect success in all of what I worked on in the app until now except this. I just can't get it right.

(I am talking about my school’s promotional project, look at my rants for reference)

Deadlines were insane and I had nothing to do about it. Had to touch JavaScript for the first time in 3 years and code like I still know it by heart.

In short: H.E.L.L. It stands for:

H oh
E god
L never
L again

A added bonus of writing in UIKit and in Swift is the automatic macOS support. Yes, this is the devRant rewrite working on macOS, fully featured. And while this still requires some work and some fixes involving window resizing and how to handle image resizing, this is surprisingly usable for almost no dedicated macOS code!

(This post was sent using the AltRant client on macOS)

Math pre-finals tomorrow.

I am scared as fuck.

Wish me luck, I need it.

I have created terminal porn.

@dfox I am having issues posting rants with images! I am getting an internal server error. Can you check what's happening?

When I teach/help someone with code without telling them explicitly what to type and their solution works and they get hyped af. Never gets old. I like helping people.

Just found out that if you spam the different types of notifications that you want to see in my rewrite of devRant you cause an instacrash.

Multithreading is both a blessing and a curse.
