Since you guys liked my icons, I decided to make a few based on some popular programming languages

I decided to make some minimalist icons for my launcher. What do you guys think?
Edit: I just noticed the devrant color is slightly too light. Will fix soon

I'm working on a concept for an efficiency/speed focused networking project.
Any recommendations for low-level languages that support networking that can be run on both windows and Linux with relative easy?
Thanks in advance!

What personal milestone have you achieved this month?

One of the best things I've done to date was change my desktop and phone's fonts to roboto condensed, it looks so nice.

The single most annoying thing about working with Microsoft is how they, at one point, decided to wipe 99% of their articles and downloads on their site. But instead of updating it in their OWN FUCKING OS, they just leave links to the broken pages in their help system. The second problem then arises when you realise that instead of giving you an error page, it automatically redirects you to the default page.
But on top of wiping their site, not updating windows to reflect those changes, and having a terrible site design, they have also decided that it would be best to keep the pages that once we're, online. This means that they will still show up in search engines, without any content being there.

Add to that the fact that their support team is incompetent to an insane degree, and often doesn't know what they're talking about. This has caused me so much frustration over the last few days.

Dear Microsoft, please get your act together and fix your shitty website.
Greetings,
A pissed of customer who paid money for your shitty services

Tfw you tell the guy in charge you can't make it for the meeting that evening, and he says there is no meeting, but you're too tired to tell if he's joking or not. Fml

Estimation shows I was put on about 13 watchlists after searching: "how to kill all children of single parent"
The struggles of a programmer

I've been learning c# over the last week or so for a unity project and I LOVE IT.
Its so nice :)

I just spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why my school WiFi was so slow. Turns out, windows was downloading an update, ON HIGHEST FUCKING PRIORITY. Fuck you windows

Fuck regex and everyone who has ever endorsed the use of and/or is affiliated with regex.
It's unreadable, impractical, overly complex and complicated and it adds unnecessary clutter to your code, and your thought process.
It's 00:50 am and I just spent 3 hours debugging a regex only to realise forgot a single "?" in a 75+ character long string and I want to go to bed.

Hey @Alice, you into Rubik's cubes?

O well, there go my plans for this evening

I fucking hate my german book that i need for school!
One exercise: Google

FFFUUUCCCKKK OFF

Tfw dfox is the only one that ++'s your semi-nervous breakdown on devrant 😂

I just spent 4 hours troubleshooting 2 pcs, neither of them working yet. I'm way too tired, and I'm not even sure what I'm saying is correct English but I don't care. Man, fuck my life. I just wanna go to bed, but my brain doesn't think that's a good idea

I apparently follow....myself?

How to secure yourself from flash 0-day attacks:

3. Seriously, you don't need flash

TIL trogus registered the subreddit devRant, but it has no posts and is locked. Anyone know what the story here is?

First off: setup reveal
second off: thanks everyone for the 1000++!!
Lastly: devrant stickers!
Thanks @dfox and @trogus for making this awesome platform

Using x as the loop iterator instead of i

Some kid in my class just legit asked the teacher what a router and a modem is.
The thing is: the teacher didnt even know.

Hey everyone. I decided to rewrite python's abs() function, as it's really slow. Here is my new and improved version. It's up to 500% faster!!!

def abs(int=None):
if not int is None:
try:
lnt = math.sqrt(int);
lnt = math.pow(lnt, 2);
return lnt;
except Exception as E:
lnt = int/-1;
return lnt;
else:
raise ValueError("oopsie whoopsie! uwu we made a fucky wucky!!1 a wittle fucko boingo! the code monkies at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix dis!!");

Edit: devrant fucked up the indention.
Here is a hastebin instead:

What do you guys think of "PyDE" for a python IDE?

The amount of times i've had to reinstall linux over the last week because some random command complete fucked up the filesystem, removed system apps, or whatever, is quite an achievement.
I think it's something like four times over four days

How is everyone here doing?

What did you do the last 20 minutes?

I watched the timer on my browser slowly tick down as it downloads 550mb over a flimsy school wifi connection in the hopes that my constant watching helps it not time out or crash.

Mfw its 1 am and im stillawaxe reading xkcd
