Just want to recommend the DevRant stress ball. I wasn't quite sure how to use it (it doesn't come with instructions) but since stuffing mine down the PM's throat my stress level has reduced dramatically.4
-
I got my reward stress ball about a week ago, but it vanished within minutes of opening the package 😧
Today I found out who had taken it.

Everytime I throw my stress ball (and miss...because sports are hard) at a co-worker, they ALWAYS think I'm throwing an orange at them.

Ripped through the letter in excitement while opening the parcel :(
Anyway, great stress ball! Let's hope it works

*me seeing rant with stress ball in the pic*
Me to gf:"look babe!!! Streeeeesssssballllllll :D I want one"
*gf points at shirt*:"these are your stress balls ;)"5 -
One of the important lessons I learnt in DevRant.
"You don't choose the free stress ball, the stress ball chooses you."5 -
PM finds my prized stress ball and draws a face on it. When asked why she said "it looked depressed".
THATS THE LOGO YOU DUMB BITCH. PLEASE DON'T TOUCH MY SHIT
On the bright side... Good thing I have this stress ball to relieve my anger 😒

You is not gonna beliebers what just happened lol
So a couple weeks ago I earned a stress ball (300+ ++'s) I sent an email about it but never got a reply, so I decided to just forget about it. But then I just ranted (lastnight) about how its so hard to get a stressball. So I basically just said "fuck it i'll buy one". Then some dude comes along and is like "omg not until he shows us the bought one" so I'm like CHALLENGE ACCEPTED and buy one...
Then I get an email confirmation from devrant store confirming my order for the bought stressball. And I notive that my spam folder has unread messages in it. i look inside the spam folder and what do I see?...
I see dfox replying to my free stressball request weeks ago lol. So yay, now I gets the 3 balls (or two - depending) lol omg, so many balls.
15 -
Well, that was fast! 1 week for international shipping (Canada). Thanks dfox and trogus for the awesome swag (and for making an awesome app). Didn't even have the time to finish my 3d printed ball before I got the real one :P

Boss: Why it has a sad face on it? Nice ball. ** Tries to kidnap the stressball**
Shit NO Mothefucker touches ma ball !!

Reached 100+1 on a single rant...
Devrant raised to 150 +1's in order to receive the stress ball...
2 -
I'll mail a brand new devRant squishy ball to the first 5 people who make a devRant-related tweet (including @devrantapp) in it and link to it in a comment on this rant. Go!

Couldn't get stress ball from devRant.. But I found one at work.. Now it's mine 😀
After 5 min with it, my stress levels dropped and productivity also..
2 -
FUCK! It's so FUCKING HOT. GODDAMN FUCKING SHIT. EVERYTHING IS SO MUCH MORE FUCKING ANNOYING IN THE HEAT. COUPLE THAT WITH THE FACT THAT I SUCK ASS AT EVERYTHING I TRY TO DO AND I SNAP AT THE SLIGHTEST THING. I NEED THAT FUCKING DEVRANT STRESS BALL, BEFORE I THROW MY SHITTY BOOK ACROSS THE ROOM, FOLLOWED BY MY CONTROLLER, MY LAPTOP, AND MY DESK SOON AFTER.
Fuck.12 -
- Another package from NY? More stickers?
- No. It's a ball this time!
People are starting to look weird at me over here...

Everyone seems to have a stress ball, I have a stress dice that says "Yes", "No", "Take a break", "Tomorrow" and "Maybe". It's good for whenever I don't know I should just quit or throw the PC through the window 😅

Back in the days DevRant used to be a small community. A rant would be seen by all, with a higher chance of marking the stress ball incentive target.
Now, those upvotes are distributed among many more users who have the privilege of upvoting to what they find more interesting.
However, this is not a rant about who has a better chance of winning a stress ball; it's about feeling proud how this community grew so healthy, and tailor made for developers!! :)
Kudos! I love this community6 -
Thanks again devRant, @dfox and @tragus.
Those stickers are amazing.
Hope to get the stress ball one day too.
Btw @dfox what do you mean with +1’s here? 500 +1's on a single rant for a ball
2 -
My stickers came, thanks @dfox and @trogus! 😄
Now to pull off getting a stress ball. That's gonna be tough... help me out folks! 😨
11 -
Someday I will have a rant that gets enough ++ to get a stress ball. Until that day I will keep taking out my stress on my poor mouse. At least I hardly ever use it so it doesn't matter if I break it...
-
Somebody else like me? Waiting for that beautifully crafted rant/meme/pic/joke that will bring me a stress ball.9
-
Thanks, @trogus & @dfox! Got my stress ball yesterday, brought it in to work today. And here he sits upon his custom pedestal. (his name is Dave, btw.. he just looks like a Dave to me..)

Just cancelled my cinema booking for "Morgan" because THE STRESS BALL HAS ARRIVED!
AW YEAH! CAN'T.WAIT.TO.SQUEEZE.IT1 -
First ever devRant Swag Store order and my stress ball from 150++ on a post! I can't wait to wear the shirt to work tomorrow!
4 -
Finally joined the 1000 club! And 5 more ++ on one of my rants and I'll get a stress ball. This week is really going well1
-
devJackpot in my mailbox this morning! Coffee, Evil Corp stickers (and others), and my free stress ball! Thanks devRant @dfox and @trogus for the fun!

Good News:
DevRant ball has joined IronMan on the desk.
Bad News:
DevRant ball will be worn out by the end of the week.
2 -
When I see the best rants of the week I give a ++ to those that are near the 150++ só they can have a DevRant stress ball5
-
I remember that time when you only needed 200 +1's to get a stress ball and it was achievable in one life, not four.4
-
I'd been considering buying a stress ball, but never quite got round to it (don't see myself contributing a 500+ worthy rant). Then I saw this and now I have a dilemma. If only I had a stress ball to squeeze while I decide...

Loving the community here I wish more people I know personally knew about DevRant hence why I just bought myself a stress ball. Hoping that someone at work might notice it!5 -
They wanna increase the tax of everything probably including the ball weight. Hey you got big ball, give 10% of your salary as tax. Fuck you government.
But you can't even provide a fucking proper electricity during day time.7 -
The day I was only one ++ away from getting the stress ball.
Decided not to claim it in the end, though.7 -
@dfox we need like an automatic email reply when we email about stickers/stress ball because I'm waiting unsure if you got my email. I'll just keep waiting patiently I guess...

ohhh after replacing HP logo on my pc with devrant stickers now i want my stresss ball wooohhhh...1
-
When your happy your rant has enough votes to earn you a stress ball only to realize that they raised the limit since the last time you checked...
6 -
Not a coding challenge, it was more of a logical problem.
"You are given 7 ball, all equal in size but one is slightly heavier than the other 6. You have to find the heaviest ball and you are allowed to use the scale only twice."10 -
swag link says you need 20 +1's for stickers and 175 +1's for ball from each post. clicking on Learn More it then says you need 15 +1's for stickers and 150 +1's for ball from each post.
How about some stickers for spotting a content issue?1 -
well,here's my achievement for today! @localhost this is all I do on a Sunday 😂
when you know that you can't get a stress ball(150 ++'s 😱) , make the rant feed your stress ball! 🤓

Mission Accomplished: Stickers
Next Task: Stress ball.
Beginning now...
Sargent :AlphaNu
Platform :devRant

When your one rant that showed real potential to get you that stress ball has now slowed. Each new upvote revives the hope and you think - c'mon c'mon, nearly there!

One of my most inspirational places to create devRant rants! I visit it every week. For a Sunday fun experiment I will gift the first person to guess where it is a devRant 'devie' stress ball or t-shirt. You must provide specific details. We can figure out prize logistic details thru @dfox. There are hints in the image 😀 Enjoy!

can't possibly think of a good enough rant to earn that 750++.
seems like a nice stress ball! but ranters block. haha so relateable right? ... right? pls.2 -
!rant
I don't have a stress ball yet, but I share these two small guys with my dog. One for summer and one for Halloween & Winter. And they both squeak like crazy.
Actually, they're a terrible strain when my dog's working on them.
-
I think rubber duck debugging is too old now. The next big thing is stress ball debugging. Squish your ball(s) till you get the solution to your problems.3
-
Someone is going to rant about me soon...
There are two types of debugging for me:
- Calm
- Not that calm!!
So the guy I was helping out handed me a stress ball...4 -
Been over 6 weeks since I was promised the devrant stickers for a post with >20 ups. Didn't get them yet and I am really stressed, so I need a stress ball now.
:'(2 -
Got my Stress Ball in the mail the other day. It now joins the other items living on my desk at work. :-)

My stress ball has been stolen!
I came in to work to an email alerting me to a bug in production. I copied the site to staging to work on the issue but I was unable to replicate bug. My rubber duck wasn't helping so I went to go bounce my ball off the wall when I realized I don't have a stress ball anymore.
I spent 7 hours working on the bug without a stress ball before finally fixing it. And now I'm ready to deal with the theft the old-fashioned way.3 -
The following paper combines recurrent neural nets for vision with methods from reinforcement learning research:
https://proceedings.neurips.cc/pape...
Apparently an agent learned to catch a ball 85% of the time, without being explicitly told to track the ball. The RL algorithm rewarded the agent *only* for successfully catching the ball. The system itself used this reward signal to set its *own* policy/goal, which was used to guide it toward the goal of tracking the ball itself--all on its own.
Behold, the very infancy of the paperclip maximizer problem.3 -
I just had the first day of my new job, and I started it by putting my victoriously earned devrant stress ball on my desk. I waited a word about it the entire day... I guess imma have to introduce my coworkers to the awesome place devrant is 😁2
-
Just received my stickers and stress ball! A big thanks to the devRant Team. Keep up the awesome work!
-
having a stress ball is cute, but it is frustrating and stressful to have it rolling away if not careful...
That is why I have stress cubes :p2 -
!rant (kinda)
I finally ordered myself a stress ball, and a PHP duck, but they aren't here yet and I need them today! Also my duck is gonna need to get a new Python cape here soon as well. -
Dragon ball episode 122 Songo kills Piccolo by flying trough him and making big hole in the middle of his chest.
Kids approved.
I liked watching it when I was little kid.

Look what arrived just in time for another crunch time weekend. This ball will surely see some usage the next few days 😀
Thank you so much @dfox!

smblevelworkshop2. It's a level editor for Super Monkey Ball 1/2.
I mean, yes I could try to add on to and fix my first attempt, but that's such a huge mess (speed < quality) that I just decided to scrap it and work on v2. -
