Hey everyone,
For about the last 24 hours, there was unfortunately an issue with the algo feed where scrolling did not show more rants. This has now been fixed.
One of our background queues stopped processing for some reason which caused rants to not properly get marked as read for algo.
If you notice any other issues with this, please let me know. Thanks!11 -
So I just found out sorting by "algo" stands for algorithm.
I speak spanish and I thought it means "something" 😂.2 -
love this app.
love the new algo.
love this community.
oh... rant? this is a place to rant?
fml.
tabs. or spaces? tabs! tabs.8 -
Amazon's Deals Algo: Since you bought a pressure cooker, we've found these recommendations you'll be interested in...more pressure cookers.2
-
You know you have been using devrant too much when you open it and the algo only gives you rants that you already ++'ed.5
-
At this point I think the "algo" is a secret team that's being held hostage and forced to sort the rants by hand 😂😂

DFox & T-rogus: Dafuq do you put in your algo? It's frikin insane how many times people notice completely related rants side-by-side or even weird replies to rants below the rant itself in our feed. What is this sorcery?9
-
We should give it a name to when devRant algo nails two consecutive rants with a purposeful meaning19
-
Is it true that the seo guys get more ++ because they know how to tag the post in a manner that keeps it on top in algo list?4
-
I'm all for algo feeds, but FOR FUCK SAKES INSTAGRAM LET ME TURN YOUR ALGO OFF. It's shittier than a sewer full of shit.

Algo algo1 = new Algo();
Algo algo2 = new Algo();
algo1.setOpacity(.5);
algo2.setOpacity(.5);

Wanted to ++ rant about that clicking devrant logo refreshes page. Now thanks to algo I can not find it... Sorry mate, no ++ for you4
-
I'm getting the sense that the devRant algo somehow thinks I love seeing rubber duck memes every 3 posts...2

40.5 hours of overtime this pay period, and about another thirty coming next pay period.
What should a young Algo do with such funding??8 -
Well two days ago, i was in a sap codin g camp (ranted about that)
The challenge: moke a robot that avoid collisions and 6inds a black mm spot on tha floor
We marginally had enough time te implement sth but well i tried to do an algo.
10 mins before deadline i realized that it wouldnt work. So i took an old prototype (without algo) from the trash bin, fixed compilation errors and went to the competition without testing. Because we had to do a little explanation for the parents about arduinos, we all were shaky. A friend of mine even failed to remember his text xD
Asso, because of Fortuna wanting to beat us down, we were the last team driving in the arena. Everybody got pretty fast times. (with a random algo). At the end, we took our robot with the untestet thrash bin program.
It drove pretty well, avoided collisions and then it happened: it reached (only robot not to collide) the black spot in 1:09!!! 😁7 -
sudo pacman -S [package]
Sudo: password for algo:
*Types y to accept package install*
Password incorrect, try again3 -
Fuck you for testing devs with them online algo tests instead of giving them real projects to do as a way to assess their coding skills15

devrant:
get busy reading low quality recent posts.
or get busy reading high quality algo posts that died weeks ago.

So the company I'm interning in just got a project in WordPress from an old client. I'm their "WordPress backend guy" apparently coz I'm apparently the only one who seems to know WordPress. The site has multiple malwares and they want to redesign the thing too. Work starts on Monday and now DevRant algo is showing me a lot of WordPress rants. Guess good times are ahead.4
-
In the worls of coding what matters is the algo and it's optimization
Any recommandation for proving my skills?
👑
Thank a LOT. 😊4 -
@dfox @trogus
I have selected the algo mode for sorting .
Idk why but my feed is a little too full with rants I have already ++'ed . I am coming across the same rants multiple times,for days. Despite refreshing nothing happens.
I mean I can change the sorting mode for fresh rants but I suggest the algorithm be improved in a way that rants that have been upvoted or commented on by the user, no longer exist in the feed after refresh.
If this already exists then I am probably experiencing a bug, so I'd like to report that.10 -
Hanging up your girlfriends call when suddenly sn algo strikes ur head... thats when you are a certified coder3
-
Algo strikes very often or people just continue to repost the same things... maybe I know the answer. 🤔2
-
So during a test I was to write an algo of binary search tree traversal and I got a zero....Why? Cause I wrote a recursive algorithm and also because I wrote "English" instead of pseudocode, which she thought is called algorithm and on showing her the exact same recursive Algo on various websites and books, she just declared all of them wrong1
-
I thought devRant was dead today because I didn't see new content for hours, then I realized the feed was on Algo. #fml
-
Open devrant, scroll through algo till you see stuff from yesterday, click settings, go to recent and continue

I was absolutely angry, my ego had been wounded. I had built the entire product from scratch, while my bosses just clinged onto one feature that i had not done.
It wasn't even going to be used i knew that and hence was slack. It also required a lot of algo writing.
Post the discussion i decided I'm gonna take out my hurt ego's anger on this algo. I drank whole night and coded. Damn fucking one of the most complex logics i had ever written. It was done and tested while the sun rose. And i slept, next day was a Sunday. I couldn't get hungover.
I was wrong, the logic was used and is one of the core logics of the product. Something that we boast of. 😁 -
Guys should I quit my CURRENT job ? I feel like I should find another job because of the following reasons
a. I suck. I know I can't complete the task given. The task given is to build a trading bot. I can't complete it because of my incompetent trading knowledge and i find it difficult to understand trading logic and I tried my level best even paying someone to private tutor me but the tuition fees are too high and I still don't understand. Btw I am from a web development background
b. It has been 3 months in this company. I feel like I am not doing anything. I feel like a loser who has been eating free salary without contributing anything. Sure I have managed to write few strategies on pinescript.
c. I dread everyday to even do anything. I use to feel accomplished in my previous job. Nowadays I cant hope to feel like a complete idiot.
d. I don't have the motivation or fire that I use to have when I was a web developer. I just hate looking at code nowadays.
e. Algo Trading is too difficult for me. I don't feel like I am progressing anywhere.
f. Nobody in my company knows how to build a bot or have any knowledge on this.
g. Python dataframes , plots, charts bores me to death and I am really no interested to even look at it.
I am just so frustrated as I am typing this and I am becoming tired and exhausted to go to work everyday because everyday I am so clueless on what to do. You need at least some idea where to go to but I don't. Everyday I feel like a complete clueless moron.9 -
Me: "Alright, I've been on 'top', 'algo' and 'recent', I'm going to check twitter or 9gag now"
Also me: "I wonder what's up on DevRant" -
Most of the time I'm reading DevRant on 'recent' algo to avoid memes; I'd rather read authentic rants as simple as they are sometimes.6
-
Ok. Sap is a cool rompany, right? Im at a coding camp at it. The final challenge will be presented to the parents and the saps ceo. BUT YO U ONLY GIVE ME FUCKING 5 HOURS TO CODE IT??? ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS? YOU EXPECT ME TO USE A RANDOM ALGO OR WHAT??? I WANTED TO IMPLEMENT A ROOMBA ALGO, BUT WE DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!5

Bug report:
iOS 10 (latest) + iPhone 6
Can't scroll past initially loaded rants on algo screen
Also, love the new tag picker...14 -
Dealing with YouTube's shitty recommendation algo for several years now makes me lose faith in recommender systems in general.6

I am a lurker, who has seen the light, and come to bask in it's warmth.
This is my first day of college and I'm ready to start learning... oh, no CS classes in my schedule for another semester... I guess I'll wait then2 -
Did the devRant algo shit itself or something? I've seen pretty much the same exact feed throughout the whole day..
@dfox6 -
I definitely made a channel in the dev Slack I'm in for algo practice with the description bigOHNOtation.3
-
Class about to end, instructor announces quiz. Looks at friend, sees him opening up algo app on his phone playing all algorithms in simulation mode 😂

Was reading about FizzBuzz/Algo again and I guess the modulo run-time.
The most optimal solution I came across is like:
if (x % 15) FizzBuzz
else if (x % 3) Buzz
else if (x % 5) Fizz
else x
But then how long does % take? Should you care?
I was thinking it should use variables:
var f = x % 3 == 0
var b = x % 5 == 0
if (f && b) FizzBuzz
else if (f) Fizz
else if (b) Buzz
else x10 -
While listening to Algo and Data struct teacher, a friend of mine ("Blue Hair") told me about devRant. Guess i'm going to learn not much about BST today.3
-
20 minutes in and I only now figured out that I keep commenting on older rants because I set the order to "Algo" instead of "Recent" :(4
-
Got rejected in an interview today, because I lack knowledge in Data Structures and Algorithms. 😔😞
I guess I'll have to bursh up my Algo skills again.3 -
Every time I see someone praising the intelligence of the algo I imagine dfox and trogus sitting there laughing their asses of trying their hardest not to tell everyone it isn't that intelligent just has convenient timing
Almost like the texts in school that were written for fun but the teachers somehow made up the authors whole life story just by reading a line.
Apologies if the algo really is this intelligent allmighty creature2 -
Week 1 Day 5 - Week 2 Day 5
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop" - Confucius
He had a lot of great quotes but I think that's one every dev who's ever worked on a personal project can get behind. It's been about a week since my last rant so I've got a lot to cover, I got a little busy so my progress has been lacking but I have two days off coming up and I plan on making all my meals ahead of time and turning my phone off to limit distractions.
So far I've worked my way through the first lesion on layouts and getting/editing views by the id. This seems pretty basic once you get comfortable with the topic. I'd like to think this will become second nature once I start to get into the guts of the course. The second lesson started working with internet connectivity and I've just started working through it. A lot doesn't make sense but at the start of the lesson one nothing made sense so I assume it'll all wrap up nicely.
I wanted to publish this two days ago (January 23) but I closed my laptop and forgot all about the rant so now it's two days later and I've made some progress, things are getting easier to understand and I'm liking it. I've also decided to start making something I've always wanted to while I work on android development. I'm going to start making an RPG I've been working on since my sophomore year of high school. I haven't written any code for my game yet but I've got the world development and story air tight. So as an ending statement, I'd like to ask anyone on devRant with game making experience how I should go about structuring my project, and some of the things that aren't going to be easy to find with google searches. I plan on, to the dismay of many other game dev's I've talked to, write it in Java because it's familiar to me and I would probably make a worse game in C++ even though that is the go to language. I'd also like to thank some of you repeat readers for silently encouraging me to keep going just by ++ing my rants every time, JoshBent and Dfox. It's been really nice seeing names pop up every single time.1 -
Noticing something weird. Is it normal that I cant scroll down on algo and that I already red them all?
I restarted devrant but same thing happens.3 -
Client says the algo is producing figures that are too high, I change the algo, explain to the client the new algo and client is now requesting proof that the algo has changed so I have to run the whole process with new algo, give figures, delete figures and run old algo on same data and give figures created by old algo for comparison... And at the same time the same person is screaming that promised changes are not yet delivered... Sometimes I really hate my job *sigh*
-
What are the chances that algo will chain the following two posts along with this post? I kinda wanna see some devRant-ception...
1 -
Algo question: Tree data structures while drawn as Nodes with children, are usually better implemented with (resizable) arrays?30
-
The feeling when client mails appreciation for a simple if else, but doesn't bother when you implement complex cycle detection algo.
-
Is the algo feed broken? Or am I just liking so much that ones I already liked show up after refreshing2
-
So I was getting a lot of small ++ rants, nonenjoyable rants and rants I had seen before... turns out I was using the recent search rather than algo..... explains everything
-
Where do I start on Leetcode? There is
- Top Interview Questions
- Easy, Medium and Hard Interview sections

Finish reading Speaking JavaScript and intro to algo by clrs.
Get Google Certified Mobile Web Specialist cert.
Start my part time degree in Computer Science.3 -
If you've already upvoted on the first 3 rants of the refreshed algo page, then you should better go check mobile data usage 😂
-
I'm looking for resources and/or a good tutor for C to help me learn the basics and maybe go a little deeper. I have previous programming experience with Java and I'd just like to expand my knowledge base.
-
I pay for Youtube, because I'm a Google music (now youtube music, and much worse than it was) subscriber. Youtube pisses me off because if I curiously watch some video, their algo swoops in and starts recommending videos from r/youseeingthisshit or Craig ferguson clips, or fox news, or pbs kids or some other bullshit I don't want in my feed. The only way to disable algo, as far as I know, is to browse "incognito," which then forces ads on me.
Has newpipe been broken for everybody else for a while too?8 -
!rant
Everyone posts Algo strikes again!!!
First time I wondered, two rants doesn't match tags, first one is gif and second one is not gif. But both coming one by one.
Nice one @dfox . I like it. Still I'm thinking🤔

Week 1 Day 2
Today was an eye opener. Tried to make a simple class to model a fraction, and forgot pretty much everything. I realized it's been close to one and a half years since I did any serious programming. All I did today was spend a few hours going over all of the basics, and double/triple checking my OOP skills. Tomorrow I plan on familiarizing myself with Android studios and Android device basics. The day after I'll start the actual curriculum. Still feeling really good about all of this and hopefully it'll stay that way. -
For a while now I've wanted to make a blog about engineering and discovering different types of engineering (software development, electrical, mechanical, etc). In the blog I'd like to write about journey discovering what kind of engineering I wanted to be, how I got here, and fun projects you can do to see what different types of engineering fields are like. Long story short I want one of those projects to be my process making the blog they're actually reading it on and I have no idea where to start with web dev. Can I get pointers (puns) to resources or frameworks that would be good for beginners?5
-
FWIW you can store data in google photos and use it's text conversion algo to search for stuff. Such as screenshotting recovery codes and searching for "recovery codes"6

Fuck, why is every mildly interesting Algo trading backtesting python package broken or killed off :(4
-
Machine learning algorithm with 20 threads. Machine is like: "bitch please" (and runs the algo clean until the end)
Increase parameter to 40 threads. NullPointerExceptions. NullPointerExceptions everywhere.4 -
Any easy solution to solve the rubix cube? I saw some videos on YouTube but dint find any convincing algo which is easy to remember..3
-
In the devrant frontpage I see:
Js bro
Design hipster
Algo sister
Is this really what they look like? I have seen both design hipster and algo sister but Im not that sure about Js bro
1 -
I think i just had an amazing idea. All algo problems should be pushed with a team world problem they knowing the thinking behind the algo solution would help solve the real problem.3
-
Any good algo book for a guy who's managed to read C Primer Plus and Learning Python? With math really explained. He's bad in math.7
-
Is the algo really that great in putt,
Also css at it's best, someone didn't check their responsive devtool
-
Anyone else using Algo in the Android app but can load the next other when they reach the end of the first?1
-
Since rubber ducks are everywhere, let me play with the algo and see if this post will be in everyone's feed. 🐤
