I really have to step up my game.

Answering the call of nature earlier, in a bright, airy bathroom, with the sound of late-summer birdsong drifting in through the window, I found my thoughts likewise drifting to matters of courtship.

I shall take the air on the sea front this afternoon, in the company of a flaxen-haired young lady of my acquaintance who jilted me most cruelly some years ago.

But my companion at dinner will be another young lady, who is scintillating company despite being regrettably afflicted with rickets.

Lest I be thought a cad, I must hasten to point out that at no point would I risk finding myself alone with either of these ladies, and thus their reputations are perfectly safe.

Yall know me im no homophobe nor racist, but this? British people are faggots aren't they? A WaTeR SomeLieR.

this app is ASS

Guys, chatgpt seems not to be working. Princess is able to answer all your questions! It's grok, so less woke and has rant context. It is possible to say: @princess, fact check what @whimsacle said in last message. Who is the most accurate @pony or @pany? Questions do not have to be related, it's just optional info that it has before answering your question.

Great Britain is the only emerged land that ever was

Just imagine

listened to some tibetan healing bowls last night in the bath. made me have those back of neck goosebumps

now today... other music is giving me goosebumps. ooo don't mind if I do. been years since music gave me goosebumps. apparently it's not called ASMR but frisson. and modern science doesn't believe in ASMR because it's "not measurable". ah, every time

I went to the lavatory this afternoon, and it was a broadly satisfactory experience. The flush mechanism appears to be in good order, and the disinfectant is subtly fragrant without being overpowering.

Also rock music will be the death of civilization and turn our kids into satan-worshiping pedophile. A friend of mine killed himself because of dungeon and dragon and I lost my mummy to candycrush

I swear, people can't recognize a social panick when they see one.

Turns out it wasn't the RAM nor the graphics card but the barely used NVME (that I recently started using with linux as boot) that was causing random crashes.

Very tempted to still just replace the whole thing...

Nothing too important on there other than my bash history and LLM models

I think asyncIO might have changed my life today. I think this is a turning point. Invest in your skills.

https://perplexity.ai/page/... love these articles. Those researchers have too much money to spend anyway. About AI companions, could be very well be true. They're not good enough yet, but I could prefer it as well. They destroyed everything with identity politics and anti human mindset. Not fault of AI. I already prefer internet relationships above real life ones. I had such a busy social life before, it was actually terrible thinking back obout it. I really started to hate society since covid and love my detached life. Some times my parents come over and make me realize that world exist snapping out my peaceful quiet, happy and stable life. Go away with your dystopia. "We are rebuilding the fire place in our house, not the way we want, but in a way the insurance company want so it's practically impossible to get a fire, and then we insure it.". Wraaaaahhhhh. That kinda fucked up logic. I can't stand it. "That's just how it works.". Waaaaaah. Society in a nutshell.

This perplexity news site is a good way to stay up-to-date tho, can read it for hours.

"Can't you just write an if so the failing queue kinda restarts and processes the disappearing job when the bug occurs?"

No, you dense fuck. We've been over this every time you bring up this rotten, diseased garbage of a project. The queue does not work because the project was developed with a PHP version that was already EOL at the time, in an old framework that was also EOL at the time by the way, surely because someone told the brainless intern to "just copy paste from another project and change a couple of stuff" probably (that wouldn't be you? No? You sure?) and the queue fails because of a bug with the framework itself and I am NOT going to waste my time trying to decipher what the fuck this c programmer was trying to achieve with these 1600 lines of code in a single method. Yes I've seen the flowchart. No it still makes no fucking sense.

It reads from a csv. Updates some mysterious and undocumented mongodb collections. Some mysql tables as well. It also updates some fucking text files for good measure too. Text files. Oh, and It also connects to a third party API and does even more changes based on the responses. There are PHP IIFEs all over the place. Property names so short you'd think we were trying to save up on space but that clearly isn't the case, is it?

And am I expected to somehow unfuck this while babysitting the rest of the devs, write some fucking documents so that you can justify asking for more money because of your own technical debt fuckups, handle nearly all deployments, unfuck more doomed projects that were never stable or documented?

Can't wait to leave this shithole of a company. You can't attract talent. You can't retain talent and you actually made all the competent devs quit with your bullshit.

Now I'm the only senior, tech lead, devops, sysadmin and you want me to take on pm duties as well since the other pm left? Fuck. Right. Off.

A programming language is a compromise between the absolute bullshit that a human wants to write and the absolute horsepiss that a computer wants to read.

Yo Amazon Music! Seems like it takes a LOT of resources just to play music.

Who coded this?

(Only using it because of the lossless FLAC, but still, damn, it's a heavy power drain.)

What yt channels are you guys watching? Do you watch someone's daily or weekly videos?

Good dev: test suites, documentation, tracking

results: decent coverage, more predictable, more maintainable, saves time and money, accountable to stakeholders, happier team thanks to transparency

environment: matured middle-sized to bigger company who takes things seriously (because they usually have to if they work in a heavily regulated sector)

Bad dev: idgaf attitude, let's just run with it and see what happens flow, go for bare minimum happy path

results: a new bug at every possible situation, mystery bugs, an endlessly-growing backlog where people in the team are so depressed no one cares what ticket to take on, morale goes down crapshoot and so does code

environment: start-ups who want quick wins and make money-based decisions only and whose budget is being guarded by the higher-ups

I've worked with a bad dev before and also with a good dev and I appreciate the difference. lol. Nightmare.

Don’t go to sleep,
the void still points to me.
A null address,
no place to be.
I’m just a pointer
chasing nothing,
lost in memory,
forgotten, bleeding.
Don’t go to sleep
the void won’t keep.

I'm shitting a big ass watery diarrhea. its pouring and farting like a godzilla brown volcano eruption!

Wanted to rant about DevExpress: what a pile of shitcode is that. But actually, just created my account on devrant: not happy with that either. It is all so 2025.
