I need to finally learn CMAKE at some point
I've been using make for many years now and it's good enough for me so I never bother with trying CMAKE but I can't be lazy forever

So, StackExchange has renamed Luigi Mangione's profile. Not a complete removal as of yet, it seems.

So if I am even accused of a crime, they're gonna remove my scientific publications and contributions?

Like idgaf about the guy, but how's this not censorship? How's this any better than burning certain books? (I'm going out on a limb here, but you get the idea)

AI, weirdest business ever. Master of none technology. The only people who can decently monetize it (the suppliers) are not doing it properly ironically.

I'm working for a few days now full time on AI and test a lot. Costs: 97 cents. 50 cents from that was one error I made (expensive code execution call).

So in reality bashing as hard as a human can costed me 47 cents. Not weird that they don't make profit.

What is the intention behind AI usage? Do they want to break the internet by allowing such mass production of calls? What use cases are there to execute thousands of calls? I can only imagine bad things / use for abuse.

Can't imagine nothing good since most AI output is not good for real life applications. For example, you ask it to respond with a 1 or 0. Then the fucker says something like: "A zero, can I do more for you?". Thanks, my application can't interpret that. Should I do another call with your answer to find out if it is positive or negative? Ok, let's do and please answer with a yes or no! It will probably respond with "It's not every positive.".

From example above, OpenAI is not the worst in it but still. It's kinda useless for many things. You can't really count on it. As long AI doesn't output exactly what you want, decent automation with AI is not possible making all claims of replacing people with it completely worthless.

AI is like someone educated with zero working experience and as pragmatic as Fred Flintstone's car.

Anyway, guess who did quit at Microsoft and upgraded to work for molodetz and likes to talk now?

See here our new CEO: https://retoorded.molodetz.nl/. And yes, he has a company car. He get's to drive me :P

I am still salty that git master was renamed to main... I mean, the rename is stupid, but when you remain it, why not bough? Bough was the obvious and perfect choice...

what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

The fact that state updates in React are asynchronous is a cancer that is holding humanity back 10,000 years.

Hi i am a new member. Nice to meet you all

Overall worst part of being a Software Dev? Really, really loving it. How could that be a bad thing you ask? Because people, in general, in life, do not want you to code. Managers, family, kids, colleagues, they all want your attention, they all want to yap at you, they all abhor seeing you concentrate at a screen. In short, they just can't leave you the fuck alone to do what you trained yourself so hard for. Best one of all is being hauled up on a daily basis for an hour to answer "How can we go faster!?" IDK maybe just let me do my thing? So fucking frustrating. If you don't recognise this and have all the time in the world, feel blessed, for you are free.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.

PACK YOUR BAG. MOVE TO MONGOLIA.

FUCK USA.

I have a new dev tool I'd like feedback on. Specifically for mobile developers. My tool is called PixelPrep. It's a tool to help stream line the resizing of App Store images to fit all of the diff App Store requirements. Goole, Apple, Windows, Amazon, ect. So, I would love it if you could test it out and give me feed back, thanks! Right now, I only have Google working. Thanks!

Got a child. Little under a year old.
We go to a little baby group nearby. We visit it from time to time. Just like 6 different babies there.

One baby has brown eyes. Mommy and daddy have blue eyes. Oh...

Next baby is blonde. Mommy is blonde. Daddy is blonde. Someone commented, that blonde was very likely with mommy and daddy. She said, no, her mother-in-law is black haired. She proves it by saying, her oldest son has black hair.... Oh....

Out of 6 parents pairs, we had 2 cheating. 1/3. And for the other 4, well, we only ever met the mother and they have not told us anything about their husbands.

This leads me to only one conclusion: People are terrible in high school level genetics. I know, it is not 100% correct, there are special cases and exceptions. But it it 99% correct.

To quote Rex Harrison: "This is what the British population calls an elementary education."

I'm thinking about quitting my job and becoming a streamer

im trying to cut down on my digital ocean bill and have a few small freelance websites, im paying 15$ a month for a mysql db and kinda feel ripped off

i know mongodb atlas offers mongo for free, does any service offer mysql for free and would you recommend using it for a clients website?

It's 2025.
We still have MSSQL with compatibility level set to 100 (matches the version from 2008).
We still have random downtime or issues with timeouts thanks to parameter sniffing.

Update? No that's expensive and doesn't provide more cashflow (ecommerce-ish).
'I just have to make better code'.

Has anyone else started a new job with the promise of interesting work, just to end up spending all their time writing e2e tests for crap code written 5 years ago by a contractor who clearly couldn't give 2 shits?

Oh, I found the old Minecraft-world that I had together with a few ones from Devrant

ANGRY-CLIENT still here? :D

Which car is smart like a Tesla but uses gas?

Say what you want about spaghetti code written by either you yourself or other people, dealing with it is a massive requirement for becoming a dev.

I don't really mind but
I might need a neural link to moderate my thoughts before letting people know how idiotic their posts are.

Just wrote an email to Rocket Chat with subject "Dear commercial hungry bastards" and complimented them with raping the f out of one of the best chat applications there is. With decent apps and stuff. For people who don't know, Rocket Chat is a Slack-variant. Once almost the same. But it was completely self hosted and under YOUR control. Now, if you host it locally, you get a screwed up design that you can unlock by paying.. If two users register on y our rocket chat instance, you get a commercial message of them regarding the growing team. Also, i have by default some remote user of them named rocketcat in my chat. Wtf, who wants that ffs? And again! SELF HOSTED SERVICE. Imagine, they have servers under their control and don't even have to do the hosting. A big win-win for them I guess.

Idiots found themselves a marketing team apparently.
