Time for some one-off self-promotion.
I used to be very active around here, but dropped off the face of the internet world for a bit. I still lurk around and respond when people mention me in comments, but if you'd like to see things I post, and projects I work on, please consider following me on twitter.
You can find me @ewpratten over there.

Also, I have been writing posts for my personal blog over the past few years. Those can be found at:

I hope to see a familiar face or two in twitterland 😆. Have a nice day y'all.7 -
I have actual production code written for my highschool robotics team that does a fair bit of critical physics simulation.
The catch is, I never actually wrote any physics related math for this tool. It's just a bunch of magic multipliers, and it has never caused a problem
We will ignore how critical this tool is....1 -
I'm looking for advice on building a cross-platform java library for embedded devices, where I want the same framework for all devices, but some hardware is incompatible.
Should I make this thing multi-part, where the framework is the "core library" and hardware-specific parts are add-ons?3 -
Why TF to I have to authenticate with GPR just to download a *PUBLIC* package??
Why not just use Gradle's *BUILT IN* GitHub package loader? What's the point of this service?!??5 -
Remember the tv at my school that never works? No? You probably joined after dR blew up with memes..
Here is a link: https://devrant.com/rants/1202090/...
Anyways, we still haven't fixed it.3 -
Anyone have an idea if the tech required to build an app/phone that could accurately read the user's weight?7

Just had to drop a little over a thousand entries from a DB because I forgot to add a "gender" field to an account scraper.
Literally the reason this thing exists is so I can query something based on gender
🤦♂️🤦♂️5 -
Being the person I am, I was having trouble finding a good system to use for practicing reading and writing hiragana, so I just made a program to help me out.
I seem to learn things faster when I automate them, so this seems like a good idea. Maybe this will become a blog post or something..9 -
I would like a formal ban on heavy smokers using computers.
For the sake of us repair people, take care of your damn hardware!10 -
Just putting this out there...
Since @x-zvf is gone, the @c0d4 vs @haxk20 battle returns.
(Also I no longer have 30000++ for the fourth damn time. Can you guys stop delete your stuff?)16 -
Hey guys,
@devDNS will most likely be down for the next three hours, as I am installing a new node in my raspberry pi cluster, and need to do some networking work.
I will post an update when the bot is operational again.11 -
I just noticed that, since the second last week of July last year, I have not gone any longer than three days without writing code.
That's kinda cool.1 -
I have been slowly noticing a bug with the devrant API. Every few hours, the API will drop a request to the notifs list.
DevDNS has rebooted 15 times since it was launched due to this. I should try-catch this, but I want it to keep happening so I can get some useful logs for @dfox16 -
I need summer projects, so I am asking for input.
I just made @devDNS, what other bots or services would you guys like to see? I cannot guarantee these will run 24/7. Probably only for a day unless people really like them.
I am currently debating a webhook service. I don't want to spam the API. Possibly it could hook into the notifs API or the Android notification service..9
