!Rant
I was just listening to a podcast and they mentioned patreon. Not sure if you two, @dfox and @trogus, thought about creating a patreon page. I would definitely support you guys for the work and time you two put into devrant. Would be awesome to have some method to tip you guys some dollar for a tea ;)

This just came into my mind. What about replacing the loading avatar if you start the app that is shown at the bottom right corner with your own avatar? 😂

I recently came across gitlab (ye, because of the bad news). And I was wondering what are some good points to make me use gitlab? I mean, it is basically the same as github. Just younger.

Calm down, all of you! I know that a lot of you hate Facebook, whatsapp, Snapchat and Co. And yes, WhatsApp's new status feature complete bullshit and just shows how anti competitive Facebook can be. But who cares? Don't use the feature if you do not like it. Texting didn't change in any way. Ignore the feature. There is probably other software out there that added stuff and you disliked. Did it make you stop using them? Probably not. You just ignored those. Deal with it :D and stop fucking ranting about it. Reading the same shit all over again after waking up. Frustrating as hell!

Calling it a good day :D

Fuck this shit, I'm done, mentally broken. I am trying to setup some basic Java project using buck. Their build times looked super promising and I wanted to migrate my multi module maven project to it.

I am currently working on it for FIVE hours now. And this fucking piece of SHIT doesn't work as I want it to. WTF FACEBOOK, IS IT SO HARD TO WRITE PROPER DOCUMENTATION THAT IS NOT OUT OF DATE?! People warned me, I ignored them. FML.

The time I used to try to get the repo working could have been used to build the project 250 times -.-

@dfox Thanks for making me famous among developers :P

@dfox clicking multiple times the reply button and directly leaving the comment screen saves the last draft, so after doing it five times you'll have 5 @handles there ^_^

Meet Donald, my debugging duck :)

Sure Siri, drink less please D:

Some weeks back I mentioned (in a comment) my small program capable of editing the tags in audio files based on the filename.
Today, I had some spear time and implemented it in Go (the original version was Ruby).

For people that are interested, here is a link to the repo: https://github.com/SirWindfield/...

Any help/feedback is appreciated!
I promised someone to mention him if I get to publish it. But I forgot his user name :(

Awesome podcast guys! Super cool stuff you stalked about. Looking forward to new stuff :)

Girlfriend asks me "is this an app for nerds?"

Not every programmer is equal to a nerd....

Let's go!!!

Is someone if you on the gamescom today for a meet up?

Just one or two days ago there was a guy asking for opinions on his UI (a reddit viewer app). I couldn't find him and wanted to ask him a question tho.

You probably use some class for fetching the data from reddit, hoe to you make it accessible within your app? Storing a static instance within the application class (like many do with the application context) and using that one?

Would be nice if you could answer ^^

Just started to make some UI designs in sketch to try it out at least once. I have to admit, it makes a lot of fun ^^

Just found out that if you request a rant with the API and the rant doesn't contain an attached image, the 'attached_image' property defaults to an empty string, which is false, because an attached image is an object. This little thing screws up my code and I get exceptions all over the place D:

Mind fixing this? Or does anybody know how to tell Gson to allow an empty object field to be a string? Doesn't make a lot of sense though.

My app is randomly crashing after I launch it. It stays open for a minimum of around 5 minutes and after that it decided to make suicide. Dunno why.

I am currently writing my first 'real' Ruby project. I want people to be able to contribute through a module class by extending it and implementing the needed methods. This can (if done correctly) provide new commands for the terminal and new features.

But is this a good idea? I would download the code then by using git and keep it that way updated (similar brew does). At the start of the terminal app I would add all files recursively from the folder where I clone the modules into and lookup each class that extends module and then load the new content.

Is there another way of creating such a 'modular' application in Ruby?

They way I load the modules is through the inherited method, I just add the classes (not a concrete object created with new) to a list and retrieve it at runtime.

Would be nice to get some feedback going on here, not sure if my idea is good/bad.

@dfox You lately changed the needed +1's for stickers and stress balls. But you forgot to update the website ^_^ Clicking on Free Swap still refers to 15 and 150.

I really need some help guys! Would be nice if you could checkout

and help me out if possible :) Got some problems with ffmpeg on OS X not streaming https urls.
And if these kind of rants aren't supposed to be posted/created please tell me so. I am still not familiar with the overall flare of this community ;)

I am still relatively new to Ruby and would like to write a program using an interactive shell like interface,meanjng that people type the name of the program "taskflow" and the app starts, putting them into interactive mode. Is there a good framework for it or is it hard to write it myself? If not, any ideas or tips on how to accomplish it?

Someone currently in cologne watching fireworks 🎆? :)

Do you guys use tabs or spaces? Just curious tho.

Looks like some of you guys are lurking around reddit

Googled for about 2 hours now and can't get this shit working. Trying to launch the Android Wear Emulator through Android Studio using KitKat 4.4 API. I created a new device within the device manager using 512 MB RAM and 128 MB VM. Square Display.

I am running on osx 10.11 El Capitan on Software Acceleration (because hardware doesnt even boot to the android logo). I get the following error when running using ./emulator:

Error while connecting to socket '127.0.0.1:1970': 61 -> Connection refused
emulator: ASC 127.0.0.1:1970: Retrying connection. Connector FD = 25

What does it mean? I couldnt find an asnwer on the net.

Is it possible to develop a wear app for android (devrant) as a third party app? I read that, normally, the main app should process data (like using the API, parsing it and getting the needed data together) and just sends them to the wear to process. Writing a wear app as a third party would mean that the wear app had to calculate the stuff, which is in Googles opinion back practise I guess....?

What does wk8 stand for? Seeing the tag all around here... ^_^
