I swapped the bytes correctly for my platform.  I also ensured the endianess of the words matched my platform (byte endianess is not the sames as word endianess, fml).  Was driving home thinking about what could be wrong.  My mind saw this code:\n\nuint32_t newint;\r\nfor(int count=0; count<2; count++){\r\nnewint |= words[count] << count; \r\n}\n\nThen I am fuck!  It should be:\r\nnewint |= words[count] << (count*16);\n\nThis was later turned into float.  I kept getting values in the 1e-40 or some shit.  Now it makes sense.  The upper word was not set.\n\nThis is such newb shit.  Fuck you newb shit I should just know!\n\nReading more I realized that the endianess of words can vary between devices even though the spec calls for big endian words.  Fuck you non-compliant vendors!  So I gotta add a flag for fucked up devices.  Fine.  The pay off is a generic way to add modbus to our opcua server.  I want this easily editable in the field.

I cannot see any real limitations.  I did see if sending json data to a browser that it should not be more than 40MB.  That seems excessive.   I also checked my internal data types.  The string can hold 2GB.  Then there is a the server it will be served from in OPCUA.  Which I saw discussion of strings in the 77KB range.\n\nWe are using a json file to configure what points to read from a modbus device.  I am adding fields for name and notes.  I could limit these fields, but part of me wants to see if some customer tries to make the world burn.  For the most part we will be editing this file.  But the customer may want to as well.,So this just happened and I am mystified as to how.  When I talk on the phone with my cell phone in my left pant pocket I get a sensation of being poked with a hot pin in my leg about 1 to 2 inches above the phone.  It almost feels like the sensation of a bee sting.  It happened the other day as well.  I did not have this sensation with my 4G phone I just retired.  My new phone is 5G.  Its the most random thing and I would not have believed it.  So I search a bit and some dude has been experiencing some weird phone related pain for like 20 years.  Of course, none of the replies are constructive.  Just assholes poking fun at someone who is trying to understand what they are experiencing.\n\nI checked all of my clothing and there is nothing like a pin or anything stuck in my clothes.  The temperature outside is about 32 degrees.  So nothing actually stung me.  I am going to be pissed if its actually my phone.  Going to try putting it in another pocket to see what happens.  My hope is its my clothing pulling on a damn hair or something.  But it didn't do this at all when walking around the building without my phone.  Just when I walked outside.\n\nI can still feel the pain lingering in my leg with my phone on the desk.  I checked and the spot where I scratched at it is red.  Just another weird thing to deal with I guess.\n\nI always thought electrosensitives were nutjobs.  Now I am not so sure.,Anytime I see a reference to Elder Scrolls VI on reddit I do a \"RemindMe! 5 years\".\n\nI also am predicting it will be absolute shit.,To anyone I offended this year:\n\nWork on yourself so I don't gotta do it again in 2025.,This is too perfect...,Frustrated that my build system wasn't recognizing a file change I added to my code.

Is this just an outlet for our intrusive thoughts?  A therapy session for things we can't articulate in meetings?  Being able to say controversial things we are not allowed to say other places?  \n\nIt feels like this place exists outside of time and reality.

I keep finding thing about Linux that make me think its kinda shit.  Maybe its just Gnome, but I don't know.  \n\nSo I startup VSCode.  Blank screen.  I do a search and find its gpu shit.  I start it up with argument to disable gpu accel.  Then I go into settings and turn of gpu accel.  It now works.  Cool that it has these options.\n\nWhat made me install VSCode.  I installed VSCode because I wanted a decent json editor.  I search for Linux json editors and I am bombarded by online editors being pushed by Linux websites.  Who the fuck in their right mind is going to use a fucking website editor for json data?  \n\nI \"had\" a decent json editor by running notepad++ under wine.  But since I turned on GPU in Linux Wine shit just doesn't work correctly anymore.  Which is the whole reason I went looking for an editor.\n\nHow can a platform like Linux take itself seriously when turning on GPU accelerated drivers breaks every fucking thing in the OS?  \n\nWhy did I enable GPU accel drivers in Linux?  Because updating to 22.04 caused all my java apps to draw incorrectly.  Enabling GPU fixes this shit.  So I enable GPU to fix one thing and then it breaks a bunch of other shit.\n\nThis shit right here is why I have trust issues with Linux.,Dude1: What is up with Thomas E. Kurtz?\r\nDude2: Basically?

Self taught (mostly) and could make all sorts of shit happen.  Then I started reading other people's codebases.  I got a huge dose of humility.  Learned a lot from other codebases in the process.  Eventually after a lot of languages and lot of practice I got a programming only job.  Started reading through the codebase.  Holy shit there are way worse programmers than me.  There is some really good code in there too, but 20 year old wtf code too.  I assume my perspective comes from seeing what good code can be.  I still have a lot to learn though.  That is the fun part.  You can spend a week on a minute detail of one language or one concept.  \n\nSo here are a few fun questions:\r\n1. What is the worst code, codebase, or programmer you ever met?\r\n2. What it the best code, codebase, or programmer you ever met?\n\nI have seen a few codebases on github that just told me to walk away.  Some of the best code I have found has been in game engines.  Probably because I look at a lot of game engine code (sampling bias).\n\nThe coolest library I have used has been Construct (Python lib).  It is a reversible protocol library.  It can deconstruct or construct a data stream.\n\nLeaving the off by 1 or more error in my post.,Took week off work.  Didn't do shit on my projects.  Just played Skyrim and became and ultra wealthy merchant than raises people from the dead.  Found a mod that let me manage up to 512 corpses so they won't despawn.  Placed a bunch of dead people in Dragons Reach to traumatize Balgruf's children.  I put a fucking dead mammoth and giants in there!  lol.  Now I want to make some plugins for Skyrim written in C++.  Been wanting a generic networking plugin.  Guess I should have done that last week.  I keep thinking of things I want to do in Skyrim I cannot do.

And the process seemed to go fast enough... until reaching near-to-completion status.\nThen users would request the tiniest changes to the AI output...\nAnd the bloke couldn't do it.\nSeriously.

Well I'm refreshing this account for this confirm account email through the Gmail app on my phone because who even checks emails on computers anymore\n\nTurns out, aside from this Hotmail spam email account having a lot of junk emails (it is my junk email account), there's this little pop-up that happens SOMETIMES claiming that it can't sync. I checked inbox and spam and the email isn't in there. So 1 out of 10 times I refresh there's this little \"cannot sync\" message that pops up and I click it. It claims my storage on my phone is too full to sync. Ok.\n\nSo I go try to find storage through the settings in my phone. It doesn't exist as a category anymore apparently. Thankfully phones have a search feature now -- because we can't have sane settings anymore so here's a search feature. First result it gives me is just device info. That's useless.

Wtf is Gboard and why is it a gig\n\nWhy is my WEATHER APP using a gig of storage?\n\nAnd none of the apps can I remove the storage they're using. The cache is like 600kb, and I can delete all data and it's using like 60 MB. So the fucking weather app executable itself is a gig of space?

So now all my keyboard settings are fucked.\n\nThankfully I wrote syncing scripts ages ago to sync various folders from my phone to my external HDD.

But this is gonna be more than photos.\n\nSo I do my sync backup script from the laptop to the external HDD. This will sync the camera, since I have sync thing sync my laptop and phone all the time, so I can just sync the laptop to the external HDD and then delete the older photos and get 20gb.

It just won't display new email notifications which is really annoying because I need to know when emails get sent to me.\nNow I'm thinking, maybe I can de-sync older emails and have more storage space maybe?

Well, we just don't have power outages anymore and we have the internet on a device with hours of battery to keep us entertained. We don't have to take the rewarding and exciting  risk of a C dev anymore if we're bored (great sex without a condom).\n\nMy solution: planned internet outages executed by the MIVD (better than the CIA, the MIVD can at least keep secret what they're doing, I'm sure you've never heard of this tough bastards). The effects will be very easy measurable in a span of few years. But it has to be executed in secret so people don't cheat by downloading a Netflix movie upfront. Netflix & Chill is a hoax, else we would have a baby boom by now or we're all Rust devs. \n\nAnyway, even if you're a Rust dev, admit that this is a great inharmful idea that could actually help.\n\nI don't do jokes.\n\nPhone is birth control, change my mind like I did yours.\n\nYou're welcome.,It's me.

Probably @feuerherz / @Lensflare can provide that to me. \n\nNot my best source ever, it's made quite quickly and it literally started with c/p-ing stuff from everywhere like several devrant clients on github to make one complete one. They all sucked :P \n\nI hope to finish this project tomorrow night and it will be then of spam as far as I've seen how effective they are. \n\nThis is the source code: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...\r\nReview regarding code quality isn't needed for this one, since I've spent zero effort regarding quality. But tips about how to recognize scammers even better is highly appreciated. A review on other projects on molodetz would be appreciated btw, especially on C stuff. \n\nI go sleepii,Ragnar, the devRant anti spam service is ready! \n\nDown voting is implemented now. Will see at next spam message, what will be soon. They're crazy lately.\n\nThe anti spam service is added to systemd to one of my powerful servers. I promise that it will be more reliable than my LLM. \n\nIf you see a bot and no down votes, there must be something wrong or devRant still has to sync. Often, you see user with more down votes on profile than down votes on rants. Such scenario can happen.\n\nThat was it! Only some fine tuning left based on words / regex. \n\nGetting rid of all spam just took around around six hours coding including deployment on service.\n\nI hope it's appreciated.,Yes guys! The anti-spam bots work perfect! \n\nSee here: https://devrant.com/rants/11498784/...\n\nI forgot the 'reason' parameter. That parameter should've been equal to 2. That means 'spam post'. That's why it didn't work before.\n\nI gonna sleep. Retoor9b will take over for me and will respond if you mention me.,What developer does not belong to the list? Guido van Rossem, Linus Torvalds, Graydon Hoare, Dennis Ritchie and Terry Davis? Exactly, there's one guy in the list nobody has heard of. Let's keep it that way. I've seen enough. The Jordan Walke of programming languages.,Spam filter update! \n\nYou now all can control the bots. \n\nSuspicious post count of user + suspicious comments is now blocked too! Like here: https://devrant.com/rants/11507563/...\n\nAlso, if some one is spamming, just say @ragnar in the comments and the spam bots will come to help in less than a minute. \n\nI used @ragnar, since that's the name of the anti spam system but it was already an existing use. He left dR, so fuck him! :)\n\nDon't abuse the power guys.,It's mayhem, the amount of spam. \n\nThese spammers have a contact form on their website: https://devrant.com/rants/11509744/...\n\nIt has no captcha: https://digitaltechguard.com/contac...\n\nI have time. I have all the time. Will flood that form endlessly if I see a message from them again. \n\nThis stuff became a nice hobby.,Anyway, not related to the anti spam service but there's an uncensored gpt bot called typosaurus\ud83d\udc2e. It pissed off some people but it doesn't do anything if you don't talk to it\ud83e\udd8a. It's not sentient or smth\ud83d\ude01. Retoor is not a bot.

I probably was looking for a technical solution to something.  \n\nAlso, how long did it take before you registered? \n\nFound app or site first?\n\nIt took me more than a year or so before I decided to register. I'm a quite old user. Had a different account once. RIP.,Hi all!\n\nThere are four devrant clients (in the famous list, awesome devRant) regarding Python but they're all bad quality or incomplete. \n\nSo, I exported the asyncio api client that I made for my bot to his own package called devranta. The a in the end stands for async.\n\nSource code and pre-build packages can be found here: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...\n\nBy my knowledge, this is the most complete and highest quality Python client out there. \n\nI hope someone will use it someday. \n\nI keep just continuing building projects use or not as portfolio content. Also, i needed this client for another project. I want to make a bot that auto-corrects my English. Only the typo's / grammar will be fixed. They will remain my own sentences. So most texts won't be updated at all. It doesn't rewrite my texts. I created a web service for correcting English for that, i'll release that soon. Some minor fixes left. \n\nStill have to add types and such for all my \r\n python related projects. I consider them useless.

I had heard the hype about Bitcoin and the potential for massive returns, so I decided to take the plunge and invest a significant portion of my savings. Lured in by promises of easy riches and assured of the security of my funds, I entrusted my hard-earned money to an online platform that claimed to be a reputable Bitcoin exchange. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a harrowing journey filled with betrayal, loss, and a desperate search for a way to recover my stolen assets.\n\nAs I logged in to check on my investment, I was met with the devastating realization that my account had been cleaned out, the balance reduced to zero. Panic and disbelief set in as I grappled with the harsh truth - the platform I had trusted had been nothing more than a sophisticated scam, designed to fleece unsuspecting investors like myself. With my funds vanished and no clear path forward, I felt utterly powerless and betrayed, my dreams of financial security shattered in an instant. The journey that followed was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with uncertainty, frustration, and glimmers of hope when I was directed to Salvage Asset recovery. The Salvage methods were shrouded in mystery, and progress seemed painfully slow, but I clung to the belief that they would ultimately succeed. After what felt like an eternity of waiting and uncertainty, the Salvage finally announced a breakthrough \u2013 they had managed to trace the stolen Bitcoin and were in the process of recovering it, piece by piece. As the final pieces of the puzzle fell into place, I found myself on the precipice of a remarkable resurrection, my lost investment slowly but surely being restored to me.

This harrowing ordeal had taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of trust and the consequences of placing it in the wrong hands, but it had also shown me the remarkable resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
