they added decorators to JavaScript ಠ_ಠ

that shit is why python made no sense to me, and why I wanted to avoid spring in java

guess my standards are zilch now though. you say jump I say how high

let's make JavaScript look like java. thanks nestjs. I guess since people are using it. the hosting options / fees for these suck. ew lol

gonna just make something stupid with it, that won't be hosted anywhere because heroku banned me ages ago for having actually useful websites

Weird error message from webpage: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my webpage. Prepare to die".

It's a Princess Bride parody...

Developers get creative (or bored) these days with error messages.. Yes, one of those again.

github u absolute piece of shit let me see the exact day a version was tagged , i dont want to see 3 weeks ago, hovering and clicking doesnt do shit https://github.com/aws/...

I've been in rust-land too long

maybe I'm not incapable. I hear another language mentioned and I'm like "oh that's so easy" where before I had the energy to argue that I just didn't like it. now my spirit is broken and tattered and I've yet to even finish anything of any significant size or feature-list in rust, at least not to the degree my standards would've been at somewhere else. I wasn't an incapable programmer before =-=... so maybe it's all because of this quest

imperative. imperative. spell out every insignificant detail. you can never abstract away actually duplicate logic. but you'll find you'll have to duplicate concepts in code that never needed duplication before. over and over and over again.

by this point I have the vision to see what all the operations I need done are the same no matter the way I structure my code. be it a process / operating system, a slotmaps, something linear and basic, or this events system I made up... the domain logic is all the same. I don't optimize the domain logic anymore. I just want the most basic thing to work and it's sad. it doesn't solve any problems. it just gives me new ones. to the point where I'm not doing anything fancy anymore. I'm not doing anything majestic. I just don't have the energy. I just want it to work and I can't get anything that isn't super simple to, without becoming very ugly and having lots of cringe edge cases. fuck I loved the beauty of capturing all the edge cases with a super simple line in JavaScript: it was fucking elegant.

I think everybody is just lying to themselves. I've not seen a person start and finish a rust project. I've seen them get stuck in refactoring / rewrite hells worse than every other language though. you assume it's normal but in rust it really isn't. it's so so so much worse. it feels normal but that's a lie. it's exponentially worse -- other languages maybe 2-3 rewrites (the third because you're picky). rust it's normal to be on the 6th and you've barely moved wtf. I've not seen a single person make it out. hell even established libraries are full of rot, regularly rewriting parts of themselves. he's right. they're just powered by slogans. how is this a serious language? reinvent the baseline. reinvent the baseline.

Week: 108 (Year 3)

First weekend of the month. How are you gonna spend this awesome weekend?

Question: Where do you get the motivation from to do something you wanted?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19254263

"Yeah, I woke up on a red-velvet couch, a coked-up slut licking on my cock, everyone passed the fuck out on crystal shit, hoes with them fucking tits and ass out atop piles of empty bottles and used condoms, and at first I thought: *Ugh, Tuesday.* But then I turned to my right, and saw that my best friend was dead. And *that* changed me, not the anal probe. So don't get it twisted."

- Eddy Cuddles, Metropolis (1986)

Everyone ready for a new round of text analysis battle between languages? Because we have a new winner!

Wow, didn't notice at first! But devRant is fast again! After all those weeks. I really thought we were doomed now. Still, i did see lesser activity during the slow period, hope it didn't cost some members. Wouldn't be weird. I expect to end up alone here around 2050. Switched to apple, because Lensflare still updates his app. Still not accepting that his app became the official one. In 2050, dfox will have his pension maybe and devRant will be actively maintained again! Or he gives it to his grand kids.

huh figured AI was the best with JavaScript but it's been pretty subpar

it can't seem to figure out how to glue various libraries together. also keeps giving me outdated syntaxes

maybe I actually have to read the electron docs myself I guess... so lazy

Been working on my Rust isspam version and now it's looking like it should again :P

Rust back on top, baby (☞⌐▀͡ ͜ʖ͡▀ )☞

ColdFusion is a bag full of pure, manure-reeking stupidity.
For example, some functions, like arrayIsDefined, return YES or NO - instead of true or false. I'm not kidding. Adobe == fucking lamers ? YES : NO. Definitely YES.

Just saved my old google play DEV account by publishing a small app - developed withing a few hours... AI is really helping us all.

Its now the time to push our main product....

When Tech Fails… Again!
You know that moment when your phone freezes mid-task, your favorite app crashes for the fifth time today, and every update promises “better performance” but somehow makes things worse? Yeah, I’m living it. It’s 2025, and we’re still struggling with basic tech reliability. From glitchy apps to devices that overheat while doing the simplest things, it feels like tech is working against us instead of for us!

If you’re as tired of this as I am, check out Upcoming Web.
for tips, app recommendations, and insights that actually make tech easier to deal with. Honestly, it’s about time we get devices that respect our time, not just our wallets!

"AI can code" is like "my dog can play piano". Yes, I have proof, look it's hitting the keys and we can hear a sound. Dogs can play piano. AI can code.

Well my 9950X3D arrived, now I can load all of the isspam data into the CPU, good luck @12bitfloat

It's still so amusing to me the amount of projects that are posted on /r/react, /r/angular or /r/sideprojects that are blatantly AI written and others that have their LLM API key exposed.

Final benchmark for now. I think I've invested (wasted :P) enough time optimizing this

Finally got it below 100 ms on my system:

And ignore the two debug prints. For some god forsaken reason, removing them makes it slower by like 5% for..... reasons..... idk lol

Missed some of you. A lot of you really.

Anything exciting happen while I was gone?

I heard some of you formed a mob, dragged a spammer out behind the wood shed and beat em bloody.

Sad to say I missed that.

I'm currently eeking by financially, but got my plans for the fall winter and spring. Gym membership, rock climbing, prepping for a 5k. Weathers perfect for all of it.

I'm in a competition right now for some serious prize money and in the lead.

Enough to start that AI lab and finish my game.

Also, not everything is sunshine and roses. I sleep 3-6 hours a night average, (5-6 if I'm lucky), and horrible mood swings, with or without sleep. And isolation, damn the isolation is terrible, but my schedule is so hectic I basically have no room for any real-world contacts. I can barely make time for myself, let alone my family.

But I'm still writing poetry and music at least, and got my eye on some land for a cabin or other uses like for an office.

Whats going good/bad in your life?

I haven't heard from so many of you for so long.

It's amazing just how bad Visual Studio/.NET is .. and the way this shop does stuff.

I was just copying existing projects and renaming/modifying everything for new tasks, but this time I tried to create a new project from scratch. No matter what I get:

Could not load type 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.RequiredMemberAttribute' from assembly 'NJsonSchema, Version=11.3.2.0, Culture=neutral

Everything has the right .NET framework. Dependencies look mostly identical to other projects. No one in the work chat has seen it before. I'm about to move this project to a tmp dir, copy and existing project, search and replace all the name, empty it out and copy my source into it. What you want to bet it will "just work."

I hate everything about Windows/.NET .. I'm glad I have a job again, but .NET is just so fucking painful. How has Visual Studio remained this bad for this many decades? I swear VS 2022 is just like VS6 with a fucking dark theme.
