Alright everyone!

It is time for me to run an experiment with the people of devRant. There are just a few simple rules for this experiment.

They are:
1. Do not change the username
2. Do not change the password
2.5. Do not delete the account
3. Respect others
4. Don't get banned
5. I am watching

So.. Time for the experiment.

Username:
muchUsername

Email:
yemipiyiba@hubii-network.com

Password:

Have Fun!

Since nobody can agree on a name, here is what the devrant API says:

Your "++ count" is called a score

++Ing is called voting

(And apparently, the API lets you give something -2 ++. Idk why tho..)

Somebody was doing a lot of tapping...

This is a test rant.
For testing
Not ranting.

I finally did it!
A full rewrite of dr has happened and it is now more efficent!
If you are a dr user, make sure to re-clone the repo and run the build script again!

Next up:
- speed improvements
- dr update command
- MOTD support

dr just got a complete rewrite to make better use of resources and the API.

I am going to do some testing, then push it + some other stuff to GitHub for you guys to break (I mean try).

Hello everyone!

I have just released a huge update to dr!
This update includes commenting, viewing comments, voting, better backend, and much more!
If you haven't already downloaded the client, go to:
https://github.com/ewpratten/dr

Be sure to read the README!

(Yes, I know some commands take a long time to execute. A lot of data parseing happens in the background. This is being worked on.)

A new update has been made to dr!

For us lazy People:
You can now make a file at ~/ called .dr.conf
In the first line of the file, put your username
In the second line, put your password

Dr will now automatically log in

(Yes I know this is insecure)

Also, for installation:
Cd build/
Sh ./build-linux.sh

Alright.. it's time.

Time to release my new devrant client!

dr 1.0 has been released and is now available at:
HTTPS://GitHub.com/ewpratten/dr

More info can be found at:
https://devrant.com/rants/1606532/...

And

https://devrant.com/rants/1606055/...

Feel free to break stuff and let me know how I screwed up.

Some people are adding this package to some package managers for me, so if you would like to do that, feel free to help them out.

Keep in mind, this devrant client is still missing quite a bit of functionality because I am building my own API wrapper as I develop dr. So it is a lot of work to add new features.

Currently just the basic reading rant feeds and posting rants is available.

Next up, commenting and searching.

Also, the Linux (not chromeos)build is untested, so you might have to use the scripts in the dr folder.

(Don't forget to install the stuff in requirements.txt first)

It's almost time!

I am almost ready to release new devRant client and the full version of the api wrapper that powers it.
While I finish up a few things, here is a quick explination of what / why the client is:

The devRant client is called:
dr

The reason I made yet another new client is:
I wanted to have a CLI client that could run on a chromebook and I also discovered the cool text editor called ed. I really like the command-based interface of ed, so I made a devRant client in that style!

dr is a simple and (mostly) no BS devrant client built for us cool cli-only people.

(yes, this was written in dr)

More info will come soon!

Hello devRant!
This is a test post

I am using my new python api wrapper and my new devrant client to post this!
I will share more info on it later.

I wonder..

Do the new devduck capes say "devrant.com" on the back? Or do they still say "devrant.io"

Somehow in the last few days, devrant has exploded with really toxic people and mean comments.

Let's just go back to the "good old days" where there was only a post every hour or so and nobody was mean to eachother.

I have set up a livestream where you can watch the training process of my becomeranter script.

The chatbot will be accepting requests in a bit on who to train on next. Once it's up, feel free to add yourself or others to the training list.

Here is the stream:

I have been playing around with coinhive because I really like it's concept. Pretty cool so far.

Does anyone here have experience with it? What are your thoughts?

Also.. why can't pihole let me whitelist wildcard domains?? I hate having to disable my DNS server every time I want to test the miner.. I guess I will just have to make a pihole / ftl plugin for it..

Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to try Ubuntu 18.04

Let's see if I can use it as my main os...

Also.. I hate windows!
(Now I can get away with tagging this as a rant)

Debugging assembly without a debugger.... Also, I am very new to this so it's even worse.

Only 2 hours until I can find some wifi to get gdb...

Fun times..

Since when was efficiency not important when working on a robot?!

-- background info --
I was working on another robot and was going to write a function in assembly because it needed to be as small and fast as possible. But I wasn't allowed to because "it's a waste of time" and "efficiency doesn't matter anyways" and at the same time, we are getting told it's not responsive enough due to this crazy inefficient function that I was trying to rewrite.

I got myself a new toy!

I just finally finished beta 2 of my new android game. I finally accomplished something !

Two questions:

Is over engineering code a good thing or a bad thing?

Is writing verbose code a good thing or a bad thing?

So... We lost power here.

Why now?? I have work to do!!

I guess I get a free pass to scroll through Devrant for the next few hours.

How to make ai in python:

import ai
ai.doStuff()
exit()

I guess it's my turn to post this..

Just don't have a social life and you don't have to worry about it

I was looking through some old robotics code from the team I am on and I found this:

Void ArcadeDrive(xspeed, zrotation){
Drive::ArcadeDrive(zrotation, xspeed);
}

Why?
Why not just pass in variables in the opposite order?

I'm currently in the process of porting a pretty big c++ codebase over to python.

This is quite an interesting experience.

Alright...

Its time! I have now publicly released BETA2 of the BecomeRanter script!! (There are still some things not in the repo due to another thing i am working on)

anyways, here is the link:
https://github.com/Ewpratten/...

enjoy! feel free to ask questions here. I will be around for the next 9 hours..

I am now accept requests for people to feed into my rant generator.

For your info:
I have already made a hdf5 file for linuxxx and am finishing one for alexdelarge. I will share them soon for anyone that wants to mess around with making rants.
