My sister got me some stickers as a birthday present but she didn't know where to buy them. So she painted a gift card instead...😮

I've been working towards a degree in CS recently after being out of school nearly 10 years. I've been trying really hard to keep an open mind and not complain about the professors, but I have to let this out.

My one class we have to write all of our code in their specified editor which I hate, but I understand the need for standardization, but then once it is error free we have to copy and paste the code into ms word and turn it in!! Really?! In 2018 I can't just submit my source files and you open them to run and grade? I seriously have to copy my code into ms word for you to grade it? I don't even understand how you would grade that because it kills the formatting and readability, not to mention the quotes get changed to their curly counterpart which isn't valid syntax.

This is why I love my sister!

Linux..

Can't express how happy and grateful I am in words.

Alright, well done SpaceX

I hate printers. I dream of the day they become fully obsolete.

A little ago I helped my dear @Divisionbyzero out with some server problems. He was stuck on them for ages and i solved them quite fast, something I'm actually proud of!

Now he sent me a thank you package!

This is the first thing I ever got for using my skillset to help someone out 😊 (work not counted)

Thanks mate! (couldn't turn the image for some reason)

Decided to go hardcore Vim in 2018.

Second VS Code extension with 100 downloads! 😊

!rant
So, it finally arrived 🤓
Been waiting for so long to get my hands on one of these! Finally I can start messing around with it 😄

What's worse than being fired as CEO of a company you founded yourself?

Best quotes from IT teacher:

- "C# is a language to program your IDE."
- "C# is a language for beginners, and is not really used in production."
- "We won't use Python to learn programming, because Python is a very old, slow and useless language, and is not really used anymore."
- "Yeah, your algorithm is fantastic, but you wrote 'The answer is: ' instead of 'Answer: ', so it's just a B."
- One of my classmates was bored and opened Notepad++, and when the teacher saw it, she said "I have been teaching programming for years, but I've never seen this program, what do you use it for?"

I feel so lucky that I have started learning programming years before at home, I just couldn't start if I had to learn this way.

Whenever I think about my future.

I only wish that my agile team comes up with the task breakup and documents the implementation approach to our project, as good as this kid did, while panning for a party!

My introduction to programming and computers is quite different than most as in I didn't start programming first, I started by taking electronic parts from my toys and repurposing them or using them in different things, we had a computer I used to play games with but at age 7 my father died and my mother needed money so she sold it, the next laptop I got was at age 11 and then I started coding.

So thought I would install Visual Studio 2017 for Mac and ho boy what a load of shit that is!

They say it's designed to be macOS styled yet it is literally the same visual style and element location to mono-develop for linux and mac, piss poor effort when even creating new project uses the same form layout.

Today on how to make money fast:

Modem dail out. Multiple failure attempts. The sound of it beep---beep---beep still rings in my ears.

Lol, nice Capital One.

I miss my old laptop. Got a new MacBook Pro recently, and its so expensive I don't feel like sticking anything on its lid..

Not about software, but:
Who the fuck builds brushless DC motors that do not run with PWM? 😲

There is this service that I want to use (wont name it for privacy/legal reasons) and I have created a trial account which gives me a limited access to their apis. However the usage is where things are interesting.
The api access is restricted to some 1000 calls per trial account. But also they have a explorer option which lets to have the functionality as a web app like a dashboard and the explorer usage has unlimited access.

Now since I didnt want to exhaust my api limit, I let my service call the explorer apis instead. Is this ethically wrong or it is the fault of the service providers that they have such a big gaping hole in their licensing?

God watches you or not, NSA surely does.

Wonder if any NSA guy uses devrant though?

Function bool NewSpeedTestingStandard()
{
AskUserToLoadAPage();
return UserUsesPhoneWhileLoad()
? "Fail" : "Pass";
}

Is there a Discord group for us DevRant-ers? I would very much love it if there was a one, or at the very least, Hangouts?

Anyone think a podcast with no specific topic hosted by programmer that are all experienced in different areas (EG. Game developer, front end developer etc) that just talk about random shit?

Just curious because I love the Triforce podcast and considering that is supposed to be a gaming podcast hosted by fairly different people.

Btw this is just a hypothetical, don't think I'd be able to pull it off!

Producer: "We need this new feature by next Wednesday's release. Enter estimates into the task, ok?"

Me: ಠ_ಠ

hint for the estimate: by next Wednesday

*Me Calling the NSA..

[NSA]: Hello, how can I help you !
[ME]: Hello, this is the NSA right?
[NSA]: Yes

[NSA]: And What is that?
[ME]: My mom called me couple hours ago to bring something from the supermarket, her phone is off.. What did she told me to bring?
[NSA]: beep..beep..beep

When you live long enough to become the villain.
