I have evolved the base of my left hand's pinky finger to use the control key.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Someone is testing in production on a Friday again 😑

Dear Android studio,

STOP FUCKING STICKING TO MY CURSOR!!!

Best Regards,
sudocode

I absolutely love how handy and well thought the rename tool on ubuntu is!

This is something I miss a lot on the ugly side (windows)

I have spent a lot of time and efforts in making a stock market app for android but somehow I never cross ~35 active users. App's objective is to be a less clumsy interface to track stocks and get notification when a price is reached.

I am unable to figure out what is wrong as I am not getting any user feedback as well : /

It would be great if I could get suggestions and feedback as to what is up here from fellow devs.

P.S. : Please do not rate the app and certainly uninstall once done.

Here's the playstore link:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...

TIA y'all

Has anyone here worked with Superpowered SDK?

There seems to be no guide or detail as to how to get it to work for android.
So much for marketing yet so less for actual ground work!

Would be glad if someone can impart some wisdom

I spend these last moments with all the memories I have collected.

Farewell my laptop's hard drive!
I wish I had your back (up) this time...

My girlfriend took my Devrant sticker >: /

StorkLight : Open-Source Side Scroller for Android

Accidentally pushed my android keystore credentials to my open-source android project on GitHub. I have spent the last 3 days filtering all branches to ensure that everything is okay.
Good save.
Hope so.

Me : We need a resource that can help us achieve the deadlines that you set and the sudden requirement changes that arrive.

Manager: What are the requirement specifics?

Me: Candidate should have industry experience and have worked on such and such projects.

Manager: Better to take new interns. We can have 4 interns in cost of 1 full time.

Me: What about skills and relevant experience?

Manager: You can teach them right?

Me: What about the deadline then?

Manager: You will have 4 people to achieve deadline.

-------------------------------------------------------

I am currently in a contract for 1 year that expires in May. Should I breach the bond and run from this shit manager? Should i persist like a stoic?

Help me people, I am dying working under this piece of shit that doesn't even know where to type git clone and claims himself to be very technically advanced!

A past project of mine is a LibGDX side scroller game for android that I worked on like an year ago but it never got completed. Now I feel that the only way to make something usable out of it is to give it to the community.

I do have a confusion that I seek clarity on. So what would you recommend:

1, Publish on Playstore and then release the source code ? ( obv no ads, no revenue )

or

2, Release the source code and build with community to finally upload to playstore ? ( same )

Here's a screenshot as well :

One popular repository on github nowadays is this :

https://github.com/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

A repository filled with eeees .
This is excellent for anyone new to git and who needs a repo to get familiar with git.
Just make sure it's all eees XD

Manager is at clients to deliver production and he is constantly sending us new requirements that should be implemented and pushed IMMEDIATELY!

Here are a few extra conditions:

1, It should work!
2, It should not compromise what is already there!
3, It should be well tested!
4, It should be immediate!!

Guess my count for number of incompetent managers I have come across just incremented!

Asshole.

I hugging found out why my personal projects slack off. The reason is what I have termed as Labour code.

Labour Code:

"When you know exactly what the issue is and what you have to change to fix it. But because it is not challenging anymore, you don't fix it.

In other words : Pure physical labour of changing your code without having to think."

And that is one thing that I dread a lot!

Had to use Windows 10 at work as my ubuntu went down today with kernel panic.

Holy shit, This thing is terrible!

I had to open a json file and it opened in microsoft json editor of some sort.

I went to 'open with', changed to notepad, checked always in notepad.

Opened the json again : Microshit json editor!

Changed to notepad, opened again : Microshit!

I mean it is one thing to recommend something and a totally different thing to compell! Get it together Microsoft! You are killing it more!

Just realised:

Dell has Alienware.
Acer has Predator.
Same gaming laptop segment.

So it is Alien vs Predator!!

I fucking saw it coming!

I discussed with my manager a much required raise given the number of patents the company has filed on my work, successfull completion of a full-scale ML product in 6 fucking months and working as a team lead for the last 2 month.

"We cannot bypass the policy of appraisal every one year"
and
"This is not the right time to ask for a raise from management"

And still that scumbag expects me to work on saturday, dedicate more that 9 hours everyday, not complain about the poor management and arrive on time everyday !

It is really time to leave this shithole company and this piece of shit manager who btw draws most of the budget allocated to the team.

I think I have realised not to give more fucks than paid for to any job no matter what.
Hands down. Fuck this!

I wish there were programming languages called 'Fuck' and 'Your' so that I can learn the shit out of them and add:

" Go, Fuck, Your, Self "

as my programming expertise for recruiters.

Holy fucking shit!
I am not a google fanboy but I just witnessed what is called a pre-launch report on my playstore app!

The app is installed on a dozen of different dummy devices and tested by crawlers automatically! And that's not it : You also get a screen recording of your app being tested on all these devices! Oh my fucking dawg!!
That is cool and useful as hell!

Came home yesterday and the first thing I did is revive my old (first) laptop. Apparently this is how hard drive can be replaced - stripping down to the mother board.

Ubuntu in and damn the nostalgia!

I once began writing a mobile game using LibGDX from "scratch".

From scratch I mean I didn't follow the suggested structure and made my own implementation of pretty much everything (collision detection system, parallax background scrolling, tiny physics engine etc ).

Now though the project is doomed, it taught me a lot , especially to not to reinvent the wheel.

Here's a screenshot to feed your soul:

Manager : The new system should have an accuracy of around 70%.

Me : { Handles the team, collects the data, designs the pipeline and manage to get ~75%. }

[ During demonstration the model gives correct results 8 out of 10 times i.e. 80% accuracy ]

Manager : WHY HAS THIS FAILED? THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL!!

Me: *Sigh*...

Guess someone needs a quick lesson on how percentages work.

//TODO
.

My app has been removed from playstore and all it takes to add it back is by adding a privacy policy.

It's been 2 weeks now..

Me : *googles 'linked'*

Google: Wut? I don't get it! Both? Same? Ad? *Scraps this*, *scraps that* Tadaa!!

Whenever you get frustrated finding why users are rating your app low,

Always remember that pacific ocean has a rating of 3.5 stars on google maps.

Random tip:

A Decrementing loop that compares against a zero is faster (even though insignificant on current hardwares)
than an Incrementing loop that compares against a constant/variable.

For example:

for( i = num; i != 0; i -- )

is faster than

for( i = 0; i != num; i ++ )

The difference shows up significantly on resource constrained hardwares such as 8-bit microcontrollers.

More details in comment.

Haha, yeah..

In case you didn't knew:

Devrant doesn't support split screen.
Therefore you can select YouTube as the first split screen app and devRant as second, which sends YouTube to continue playing in background with devRant as a full screen app.

Been listening to music/podcasts while browsing devrant for a while now.
