I really hate search engines sometimes

After a year-long (or something idk) hiatus, I have returned to devRant! Dusted off the old profile (and updated a bunch of outdated info). I never realized how much I missed this place. Great to be back!

When you don't commit anything until after 48 hours of work.

I was just ready to get this feature finished so I could finally get some sleep, and in my persistence, I neglected to commit every once in awhile.

Now I've finished the feature and have all of these changes; I had to explain myself in the commit description.

This is a screenshot of the preferences screen of my Android app. I have just added the preference that's at the top. It is a ListPreference. Does having the summary string this long for this make it look bad? I'm not sure how else I would explain the options to the user. Just looking for UI advice.

My GitHub is quiet, too quiet...

Been bored because I can't think of anything to code.

Has anyone else struggled with CS classes that teach very low-level stuff like in Computer Organization and Architecture? I'm in that boat right now.

Haven't gotten it yet, still in college working towards it, but from the way a good number of people are making it sound, it's not that worth it. Probably going to drop out when my scholarship dries out at the end of spring 2020. It's a four-year scholarship, but I'm probably not going to graduate in spring 2020 based on the grades I'm getting in my math and physics classes.

Side note: I'm taking Computer Organization and Architecture this semester and it's making me want to jump off a fucking bridge.

Moved one of my Java projects to Gitlab. Really loving the Auto DevOps and CI. Currently not missing GitHub.

Me trying to clean up my code is like trying to make dirt less dirty.

Because recording in HD matters when you're putting the content on a DVD.

Finally starting to write unit tests for this Java library I'm working on, and I'm wondering why I didn't do this sooner.

MPC-HC is a better media player for Windows than VLC. Change my mind.

Applied for a job at Google today for one of their new data centers. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm thinking about learning Kotlin.

I want to get at least a skeleton made for this game I want to create. I've been putting off starting it for a whole year now.

Haven't updated my app since early November. Think it's about time to implement the feature I've been wanting to implement since the beginning of December, but for now I think I'm just going to enjoy the rest of my vacation in Italy.

Raising a glass to all of you here on devRant! Hope you all have a happy New year!

College is rapidly sending me into a never-ending spiral of depression. I have to take Calculus-based physics for Computer Science, and it's making me want to kill myself. I'm not going to get anything higher than a D in it, so I'm going to have to take it again no matter what. I'm worried I'm not going to get a D in it because if I don't get at least a D in it, I won't be able to take the second part of it in the spring, which will remove 5 credit hours from my schedule that I will then have to find something else to fill with.

Worried that the terrible Physics grade I'm going to get is going to drop my GPA below the requirement for my scholarship. Worried that I'm going to get kicked out of the honors program as well. Worried that I'm going to be here for three more years. (My scholarship runs out in Spring 2020.) Stressing out about my Physics final tomorrow that will determine whether I pass or fail the class.

Im starting to wonder if that Computer Science degree is worth it.

Thinking about rebuilding my portfolio website with React. Has anyone else done this? Would it be worth it?

I swear preparing an app update that's going to be deployed to 500+ people stresses me tf out.

I hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Been working on one of my websites. Lots of Javascript dynamic page loading and stuff. Wondering how everyone thinks it looks and how I can improve the UI/UX.

Got another 5 star review on my app, which also, according to Play Console, now has over 300 downloads. Life is good. 😁

I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why IntelliJ was asking me if I wanted to add some files to git when they were in .gitignore.

*sigh*

It's 1:22 am, and what am I doing? Rewriting my Smite Team Generator as a standalone Java library. I have plans on completely revamping how the Android front-end for it works as well. I really wish I didn't have the desire to do this right now so I could go to sleep.

Me: Runs app

*Crash with error*

Me: Changes one thing, then runs again

*Crash with different error in another part of code*

Me: Fixes that error and runs again

*A FATAL ERROR HAS BEEN DETECTED BY THE JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT*

Me: Runs app again, "Maybe it was just a hiccup."

*A FATAL ERROR HAS BEEN DETECTED BY THE JAVA RUNTIME ENVIRONMENT*

Me: Chucks laptop out window. Goes to gaming PC to play Dark Souls 3, because it's less angering than this.

"A blank JS file is more useful than you."

Thinking about publishing my app to F-Droid. Should I?

I've decided to do something very ambitious for my new Discord Bot. I'm going to try to embed Google Assistant into it. 🙃

Me: Deletes one line of code in a script.

Unity: *high-pitched screeching*

One of the features I programmed for my Discord Bot was a Gfycat gif poster, not knowing Discord had such a feature built into the app itself. I would say my feature was more useless than unnecessary.

So, I've decided I'm going to completely redo my Discord Bot. I will probably still use Node.js to program it, but I haven't 100% decided yet. If I do use Node.js, I will probably end up using a different Discord API wrapper for it. I also don't know what I'm going to call the bot. NoVegBot 2.0 sounds too boring, but idk.
