:O... On modern displays, a browser pixel can span multiple display dots. Well, that sure demystifies layouts acting strange sometimes.

Called the doctor this morning.
Hi. I'm running low on my sleeping pills and would like more.
Ok. I see that you haven't visited us for a while and would like a meeting before we can prescribe new ones. The next available slot is in three weeks.

Guess I stay awake until then.

Those wankers at Microsoft have totally ruined Notepad in Windows 11. Now, when I open a text document with Notepad, it attempts to open any text documents from some previous session as well - some of which might not even exist anymore. It's so fucking annoying!

I know there are some fans here from Joshua Fluke. We in the Netherlands have some word for such amazing person but don't know how to translate. It's "neukfout".

My new place to visit while my Github actions is doing its thing:

TFW you think stating your intent and what you want will get you discriminated against for funsies so they can pull you around and make sure you never get what you want

My chromecast these days works over the internet regarding controlling it through the phone. Before, only wifi was possible and it disappointed me a lot of times. Now, it works flawless making the product perfect. Major unexpected upgrade.

everything suuuuuucks, faaaawk

Regarding coding style, would you rather prefer:

1) Mutating state
This one sounds intuitive and performant because you are working with only one memory segment in place. I think that if you are skilled enough to efficiently modify the state without bugs, then everything should be efficient and powerful.

2) Copying state and modifying the copy
This one seems counter-intuitive to me because it sounds like you are doubling the resources it takes to perform the operation

Funny enough - at least for React, Python and my experience at work - it seems approach 2 is gaining popularity. Does this also apply to C? I would think not. Hm.

What a disastrous deployment: instead of deploying one thing, 50.000 unexpected other things had to be done before. When the "official" deployment was done inside our own network, nothing worked as expected, servers had to be reconfigured, errors everywhere. Mind you it was tested multiple times by multiple people in a testing env. Difference between test and prod, classic.
When it was finally deployed, other errors started emerging, things that weren't considered before came to surface.
On top only the main dev knows the ins-and-outs, no substitute in case anything happens.
Deployment was rolled back in the end.

The more you know.

I knew about Hertz, but not about speed repetition causing a sinewave.

Aaahz the subtlety of AI induced bugs. Them fucks are so great at lipsticking bad code I'd end up fucking it before giving it a good look. Not now, thou, not now. My brain has figure out a workaround by telling me when shit is bad. My left eye starts twitching and I know, I KNOW that shit's bad

Little bit of a sigh of relief when the project manager says she's also annoyed with the client's chaos. Not just me being slow or incompetent.

Really gotta stop telling myself it's me. It ain't.

I got arrested yesterday lmao

I saw a cop on a kid, then an unmarked one hitting the people. I screamed "HEY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR ID, THAT'S ILLEGAL".

12 hours of cells lmao

losing a contract should not feel like being fired, but when it's half your income it certainly does feel a lot like it.

"Good morning" no longer a greeting

It's just a proof you've logged in for the day

(WFH)

So many tree potatoes. They're everywhere.

"You have 40 minutes to design this database" (job interview)

every time I correct the AI it gives me compliments

and it keeps giving me fuzzy feelings now

but I'm a robot. this isn't supposed to happen. get out of my head!

Apparantly I have a shopping cart at my disposal for shoving around hardware.
