There seems to be an increasing number of teenage developers here. I was wondering, is there a devRant Snapchat group?

I wonder how easy it is to convince everyone to upvote @dfox to 50k++

I just noticed the "block user" feature.

I am now much more happy with this app (goodbye meme spammers)

Seriously though, I love working in libraries, by the river, and I love rain (I am extremely productive in the rain)

I just started an over-night BIOS upgrade on a computer at work.

So much can go wrong here, but I have no other option. Also, we are closed tomorrow, so I won't actually know what happened to the computer for 2 days.

And yes, when your system has the processing power of a potato, BIOS updates take a long time.

Well. Guess who missed it again..

Anyways, it's my belated devrant anniversary!

Since last year I have gained ~20000++ and met a bunch of new people here. So, I would like to thank @dfox and @trogus for this great platform!

Also, a quick recap of robotics (the only interesting thing I do) since last year:

We had a great build season, and built a robot that got us in the top 5 or 6 (I can't remember) at our first competition, top 2 at our second, and quarterfinals at our third!

Thanks to everyone for the support throughout the season!

I keep seeing more people here working with asm and highly constrained hardware.

So I am curious. Does anyone else here actually use ed for their text editing needs?

@hyperlisk and I are back at robotics again.

AKA. welcome to the 5024 shop!

It's that time again!

It's age++ day!

(Yes. I know.. it's also days_to_live--)

Someone decided to work out their thumbs..

Anyone else here a ham radio op, or know Morse code?

I'm currently re-learning Morse, and doing some preliminary studying before I take a ham course later this year.

So... I accidentally fell in love with Java.

That being said,
The fact that the "this" keyword is optional drives me crazy.

I wonder how many people here would be interested in doing a big video conference/ chat on something like riot.im or discord

We have completed our robotics competition in 6th alliance out of almost 200 teams!

Thank you guys for the wishes of good luck and the encouragement!

We are most likely moving straight into offseason due to us currently sitting 1 point short of progressing to the final competition.

Although we most likely will not progress, I can guarantee that some amazing projects will come out of our new found free time.

I recommend keeping an eye on the comments, as I will be posting an update on our standings and our future once scores are finalized.

And, good luck to all other FRC members here!

Time for our 4th and final day of our robotics competition!

I recommend that you watch a bit of the livestream: http://www.twitch.tv/firstontario1

We are back for day 3 of the Robotics competition!

It is time!

We have arrived at our provincial level robotics competition. The 3rd of the season!

As promised, here is the livestream link: https://thebluealliance.com/gameday...

Vrooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

POW!

Working with pneumatics is a challenge sometimes. Especially on a robot.

If every production server was running suicide Linux, I have a feeling that the quality of many services would rise significantly.

Welcome to the pit

My home for the rest of the week.

Load-in time at our 3rd robotics competition!

I will make sure to post more details and a livestream link when I get to the hotel.

For anyone curious, devrant has ~1 rant posted per minute.

We came 3rd place at our Robotics competition, and were the 2nd highest average scoring team!

This puts us at rank 33 in the district, so we are moving on to the next level of competitions. (Starting Wednesday)

And here is a team photo:
