why can't i post pics (of my cock)

TIL elephant seals exist
i wish i hadn't

OK, so Chatgpt is ditching the EM dashes. Sad, because that's how we easily could recognize the idiots. Also it's not new at all to let Chatgpt drop the EM dashes as been stated in article. I have a very detailed analysis about my writing and it copies it perfectly. So, they're selling us a placebo. Idiots. Also, for high quality information they relied on 1900's books? All the shit that came after that is a bullshit indeed. Not surprised...

Have you ever done a programming language/stack switch in your career? And how do you defend that if you don't have experience in it? Let's say you worked 4 years in Java and now you want to move to C# .NET. I know this has been answered before. lol

Employers are always whining that I don't have experience in it, so it's not a match. This is what happens when you have an HR dumbo as your first interviewer.

- they are both OOP
- they are both compiled + interpreted (JVM and Bytecode vs .NET runtime vs MSIL)
- very similar syntax, data type ecosystem, etc

Clients refusing you because recruiter says "oh it's not a match 'cause he doesn't have the 4 years .NET you asked for".

Sigh.

I've been working more and more with vibe coding. The only way I can get it to work is with Claude code.

I'm not sure why it's different, but that one actually works. He's worth the 200/mth if you can make money coding.

Is the code great? No. But who gives a fuck. He frees up so much time

Today I learned the difference between Hashmap and LinkedHashMap in Java.
After 20 years of PHP development I could not undestand the difference until I hit my nose on an error.
It'hard to change yous development stack whene you are 50 year old.

My daddy was a baker. The flour was bringing pest, so we had a cat.

We also had a giant automatic oven. And a sale lady that was in charge of checking that the cat wouldn't be in it before closing it for the night.

One day she didn't do her job and when my parents woke up, it was smelling like grilled chicken.

I just had a recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn for a senior front end developer job. Hybrid, 70% more than what I currently get as a Laravel developer. And I really like working with Laravel.

Fuck... I've been in this new job since September and I might just pursue this. It's SO MUCH MONEY, HOLY FUCK.

Problem is, I won't have a lot of holiday time when my lover wants to come visit me next year.

I've been trying out Amazon q on and off for a few days. I can see the potential it may have. But learning how to use it is best done while working from home as a sudden outburst with too many swears in a row in an open space office draws attention.

Here some nice performance statistics from AI used for coding: https://static.molodetz.nl/rp.cgi/...

This statistics page just stopped at a certain moment exactly like 10.000. I should've known. I read the source code and literally an entry_limit variable. Why would such variable ever exit? The gateway kept workng but it stopped to maintain statistics.

I have sent 1.37 GB of source code to AI and received 86 Mb. 63 errors on 10.000 requests, AI came from far. First i had a chatbot that i just stopped with debugging because the issue were always remote. This is mainly grok-code-fast-1 trough open router. Could say they're reliable.

I love data :)

Rust is fucking hard! I think I need more estrogen.

The push for AI is going to put people in hot water and possibly jail. Here is one example.

Is it okay to put a resume into an AI Detector to determine if it was AI written?

If PII is not removed, and the AI Detector is a public service (meaning no control of where the data goes) then it may be a GDPR violation. PII is not a joke in the USA either. There are things you have to follow to protect that. Work history is also a form of PII. It names places you worked so someone could figure out it is you that way.

Also, why would anyone care if they used AI to work on their resume? People are being asked to modify their resume to match job descriptions. One tool to do that is to use AI to help with this. If someone does this, and doesn't proof read that is on them. Also, you have to tone down the flowery bullshit AI produces. It embellishes and flat out lies.

I've always been a frontend guy but this time I'm ready for the backend

And no I'm not talking about code

Shamefully, after years of c++ hobbyism, I've only now discovered the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of constexpr

I thought it was just the "new way of defining constants", so I always skipped over it as more of a basic utility than a hugely powerful part of c++

I didn't realize it could do comptime code! I can pre-compile huge arrays into my binary just like I could with comptime in zig.

Fuck me, I feel stupid as hell. More c++ rants to come, surely.

We have a cold moving through our house. Some people have it, some people don't.

Me: Do you have a cold?
Kid: I don't know...
Me: Is your nose running?
Kid: Yes
Me: Then why don't you go catch it?
Kid: ...shut up...

2025/6 is the year contrast dies.

Apple, obviously, with liquid glass (AKA, "I can't see what's on top or bottom!")

But now also, trying out Visual Studio 26, everything is just a slightly different shade of gray.

Won't anyone think of the clarity?! We have reached the point where we are so biased towards form over function, that our form is no longer functional! Bring back contrasting shades of colors in UI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So November is epilepsy awareness month.

People literally shaking with excitement about this.

My job is not satisfying anymore. I used to live creating beautiful pages from scratch and totally get a kick out of working for A-clients.

However i’m currently more and more turning into a software developer. Nobody cares if it’s pretty as long as it’s functional and working noone cares.

Ofcourse it give me freedom but at least half of the stuff i’m working on is not creative in the least bit and worse; is created by AI in seconds.

Are there any developers out there who made a successful career switch?

Degrees of comparison are weird as they go in the "more" direction for almost every human language but not in the "less" direction.

For instance, there is hard, harder and hardest,
but if it goes in the other direction, it’s suddenly "less hard" and "least hard".

It’s even weirder for languages that don‘t fall back to the "more" form for long adjectives, like English does:
More retarded, most retarded.
Which is again symmetrical to the other direction with "less".

Just some shower thoughts…

This November shall be... Noirvember, i.e. watching Film Noir. Nyah, see? H'what are you saying, see?
