GF: "The Internet is broken!"
Me: "WHAT?! Sound the horn! Raise the alarm! Call gondor for aid! The Internet is broken! Does the president know?! Save yourself fools!"

Do you have thousands of unidentified songs, all named consecutively Track 1?
This application will help you to finally identify those songs with a simple drag and drop. [more details]

Based on popular demand, we're proud to introduce a basic image repost detector on devRant!

Right now it uses very simple hashing to see if an exact copy of an image was posted recently. If it was, then we display an error and we don't allow the image to be posted.

This is experimental so if you experience any issues with it please let me know.

Has anyone been paying attention to what Google's been up to? Seriously!

1) Fuchsia. An entire OS built from the ground up to replace Linux and run on thin microcontrollers that Linux would bog down — has GNU compilers & Dart support baked in.

2) Flutter. It's like React Native but with Dart and more components available. Super Alpha, but there's "Flutter Gallery" to see examples.

3) Escher. A GPU-renderer that coincidentally focuses on features that Material UI needs, used with Fuchsia. I can't find screenshots anywhere; unfortunately I tore down my Fuchsia box before trying this out. Be sure to tag me in a screenshot if you get this working!

4) Progressive Web Apps (aka Progress Web APKs). Chrome has an experimental feature to turn Web Apps into hybrid native apps. There's a whole set of documentation for converting and creating apps.

And enough about Google, Microsoft actually had a really cool announcement as well! (hush hush, it's really exciting for once, trust me)...
Qualcomm and Microsoft teamed up to run the full desktop version of Windows 10 on a Snapdragon 820. They go so far as to show off the latest version of x86 dekstop Photoshop with no modifications running with excellent performance. They've announced full support for the upcoming Snapdragon 835, which will be a beast compared to the 820! This is all done by virtualization and interop libraries/runtimes, similar to how Wine runs Windows apps on Linux (but much better compatibility and more runtime complete).

Lastly, (go easy guys, I know how much some of you love Apple) I keep hearing of Apple's top talent going to Tesla. I'm really looking forward to the Tesla Roof and Model 3. It's about time someone pushed for cheap lithium cells for the home (typical AGM just doesn't last) and made panels look attractive!

Tech is exciting, isn't it!?

What my girlfriend just gave me *.*

I think that I need a new laptop

How do I get into my ultimate coding zone...? I turn on my computer. :) Hehe..

The real question is, how do I get out of the ultimate coding zone?! 😅

Stick my headphones in and ignore the world around me

'Coding and Crushing It.' playlist on Spotify is all I need. Seriously, try it out, you'll feel like instantly changing all your handles to CodeLord27 once you press play. https://open.spotify.com/user/...

Ordinary freelancer's setup. When I get the second job - I will get the second cat and so on.

My debugger duck.

My programming buddy! 😉

VSCode is definitely the new Sublime. Love it.

Code reuse.

Inspired

"A different error message! Finally some progress!"

I have a feeling that this will be the last generation of MacBookPro with a headphone jack 😖

i got a dev!rant nostress ball, because i didn't have any serious rants and used the app for fun purposes.

edit: do you think maybe it can also help in debugging, although it's nothing close to being a duck.

12 more ++'s && i have the stress ball- that's stressful :'( ..

I like to have a nice big square setup XD

She: We've been together for so long and why are you never romantic??
Me: What do you mean? I can say I Love You in 10 different languages!
She: Awww... Really ?!?
Me:
cout<<"I Love You!";
printf("I Love You!);
System.out.println("I Love You!");
print "I Love You!"
echo "I Love You!";
say I Love You
puts "I Love You!
msg db 'I Love You!'
<h1>I Love You!</h1>
dbms_output.put_line ('I Love You!');

Me: Hello.. ?

Got to love 21:9 displays for programming.

I fixed the #666 Jira issue at work today, I feel like I chased the demon of the app!

6 hours of work before I actually wrote a line of code today. Reverse engineering stuff is interesting but not always fun

When things are working on the emulator but not on real devices....

overheard someone say "test driven development is essentially 'debugging a system into existence'"

.... And to be honest I can't disagree, it's quite an accurate description of TDD.

This is going to be a very long day...
I forgot both headphones and glasses at home, RIP brain

now I gotta was dishes instead of writing code
