missing rust's infinite loops in other languages now

also now I don't like variable++ and it throws me off

also missing iterators. because you can consume part of them and don't have to keep track that some of a list has already been "used up" so to speak. now I have index counters and laaame (granted not having to wrestle with borrowing rules... actually just strangely feels weird)

also why must languages have different naming conventions. this is a disaster now because my reflexes for what I name variables is all over the place. now I find snake_case more readable than camelCase because the letters are the same height so you can skim for names easier, and by how many words which correlates to how specific a variable is to the logical loops at hand

I guess end of the day we just develop a handwriting style in code our brains like and the idea of having to change your accent every time you switch a locale sounds annoying

Why do programmers prefer dark mode🌚

Okay so I had an acute derealization episode yesterday, hence yesterday’s post. Ignore what I said.
It was caused by the lack of sleep, the first such case since 2018.
Symptoms included super wide FOV — my arms were three miles long, I saw what seemed like almost my whole surroundings all at once. I couldn’t confirm the reality of that superhuman vision with an experiment because it was hard to grasp reality during derealization. I’m almost certain that it was just my brain extending my vision from memory, but I had no idea it could even do that given how detailed it was.
Also, vertigo was crazy.
I don’t own a funded Interactive Brokers account.
I don’t do drugs, alcohol, nicotine or caffeine. I never ever did drugs or alcohol. I’m about one year nicotine free and about three months caffeine free.
I’m bipolar and autistic. My prescription medications include neuroleptics that slow me down, not speed me up — the standard medication scheme prescribed to millions of patients all over the world.

autoformat is good I think

now instead of making the code "look nice" I make the logic of the code look nice and just press autoformat

and you don't have to press all the stupid space characters or decide when to newline chaining functioning or whatever else. just write it dirty and press format

as much as I love how I optimized my JavaScript syntax over the years, it was pretty distracting. it's like I was moving in and nesting or something. urgh why. bikeshedding. I mean yes, it's all nice and cozy, but you also could've done literally anything else with your time

originally I was a fan of autoformat in theory because I had some issues with co-workers fighting over syntax -- like literally one guy would write stuff so bad it was like it was put through an uglifier. he would put keywords in unexpected locations and that language in particular allowed it (interestingly rust doesn't and I frequently can't recall what order the keywords are supposed to go in lol), which if you were debugging his code now you've gotta squint for all those keywords and you're going to be slower because you can't just skim the whole thing. and over there in reddit land people are complaining when people use i and j variables instead lol. he used g and k and they weren't even for loops and that wasn't even the issue 🤣, he wrote like 12 statements per line and condensed 500 statements into 30 and you can't parse a thing and no this wasn't javascript

A close button that dissappears (so not clickable) on mouse hover. Wtf.

So I was trying to do a back end to a website, then boom, my hand hit the cup of coffee on the table right next to my laptop. The whole cup content poured right into my laptop. Uhhh damn I Wanna screen so bad

@Lensflare when I open a rant and want to scroll, if I happen to be touching rant/comment text, it won’t scroll. I have to scroll touching an avatar

What computer should I buy?

I hate macs. Lenovo + archlinux had ZERO issues so I would like to stay with that.

I bought three x270 because they were the last ones with removable battery (I used to have 4 and 24 hours autonomy), but the cpu is getting old (4th gen, still pretty usable but showing its limits on heavily nomad use).

I watched the thinkcenter, but I would lose mobility and they are not cheap. I have max 500 euros. Sad that the website doesn't have anymore x270 :( I guess @retoor bought them all.

Or maybe I could stay with a T? Can I upgrade the cpu on those?

taking a dump again

Instead of arguing about whether the table should be called Users or User, just call it UserTable. Problem solved

Is there anything more demoralizing and cringe than the All Hands Meeting?

What kind of soup do programmers eat?

Alphabit Soup

Our beloved SPAM bots lost their ability to downvote.

Any Microsoft employees who work on SharePoint here? DROP AND GIMME 20!

OMG, you need some blood to run into that walnut sized brain you have on top of your head.

This thing is such a piece of shit. While I subscribe to Chaos Theory, you are not suppose to implement it in a god damn user interface!

This fucking thing sometimes shows controls, sometimes does not. Sometimes some features are available on a section when you access it one way, and then accessing it a different way removes some capabilities from the menus and adds others.

While I subscribe to the theory that there is no such thing as "random" in the universe, this piece of 🐒💩 makes me start to doubt reality. It is not software, it is cochroach infested gaslightware.

God damn you microsoft fuckers piss me off with your ShitPot web hackware.

I am experiencing deju vu:
https://reddit.com/r/csharp/...

dude: Why doesn't C# do this dynamic "like" thing?

community: How dare you like something from another language?! Don't you know C# is strongly type?! Dynamic is a curse on your children! <gets out torches and pitchforks>

random dude: Why don't you use <this method> to do this?

dude: Thanks "random dude", this does what I was looking for with a bit different syntax than I was expecting.

lol

Programmers are awesome!

I fucking despise default open firewalls! Just let me define what I can do and block everything else. I don't want to play whack-a-mole networking by havin to close so many goddamn holes! If I ever see any router doing that again, I swear Mccarthy will think the communists won from all the red from blood!

Yesterday‘s Windows 11 update brought back an old bug which I haven’t seen since Windows 8 or so.

The EN keyboard layout is added in the task bar UI but it‘s not actually there when you try to remove it in the settings.

Fucking hell! Why even make new versions of Windows if it‘s all the same pile of shit?

That‘s not the only old bug that persists across multiple major Windows versions!

Sid the IT guy: so change of plans: I probably can’t fly to East India this spring to fight you since I’m in college, shitty life circumstances, and I don’t have the funds, but I’m happy to reschedule the fight sometime in the future when I go to India. Potentially if you come to the US we could make it happen. I will also plan to be near Amritsar this spring if you wanted to make a trip out there…

so turns out you don't need to know what the problem is to solve it =-=

what the fuck

I don't think I like this
... and also by solving the problem I have a feeling eventually you'll know what the earlier problem was. this is creeping me out

why is the universe making up these weird rules. I'm getting my worldview shattered
