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.15 -
Got hands-on with algebraic data types for the first time ever while studying F# today. I can see the draw, but I don't really give a shit. Why? Cus 99% of the classes I'm going to work with on a daily basis are still gonna be

There are exactly three variations of the % symbol:
% percent, 100
‰ per mille, 1000
‱ permyriad, 10000
and per cent mille, 100000, doesn’t have a symbol anymore, just an abbreviation: pcm
We can’t even go into the other direction and reduce the number.
per deca, 10, could be % without the second circle, like °/ but it doesn’t exist as one character.2 -
Companies these days have this weird fetish where they take all the best nerds with the best grades from colleges and then only accept those.
It's now the opposite of what it used to be. No humility, no 'average Joe'. That stuff belongs to the 90's, it seems. Now we have a bunch of pink unicorn overachievers and the rest of the people just can't catch a break. lol15 -

we all been there, if not, you're doing it wrong or not doing it at all. Either way, this time around it was Spotify's API. I had this great shit cooked I took down a while back and decided to get it back up because fuck why not so i put it online and BAM! No track preview playing, audio analysis missing and a feature I've busted a vessel to implement was utterly broken. I was very proud of that one btw, it generated color palettes from user taste in an actually meaningful way, no random shit, like, I almost got bald grasping the theory behind it... But I digress...
So I cloned that stupid project and checked some shit out and BAKABANG! Spotify deprecated all the endpoints and response fields I actually needed and only they had that shit FTP.... So I've noticed they still had their Embed API running... Hmmm hehehe.... Wrote a fucking module that used it for playing my tracks, so yeah, now I have playable tracks again... Illegally,might I add, since I'm not displaying the god awful banner their embedAPI fucks you with... The audio features thou, that's a mess cuz I now need to do the fucking audio analysis on top of that fucking embed API and FUCK my heart out figuring out a way to make it snappy without an actual server cuz yes, it's a SPA... fuck -

My colleagues are really addicted to Pokémon. They took their lunch break at 10:00 to go to shop because the pokémon cards are restocked today at 10:00. Now half of the team eats their lunch while working cuz their lunch break is already used lol
Also, the company doesn't even measure the breaks. They usually take multiple smoke breaks totalling over 1h each day. Nobody complains about that. Idk why they suddenly care about the duration of their lunch break2 -
Just submitted my first bounty PR. Waited 3+ weeks to hear anything back from maintainers.
Jumped in their discord and politely asked for a review.
Maintainers said, "tomorrow".
Thank them for their time
Waited an extra 3 days, asked again. Maintainers ignore me in Discord but happily tend to everyone else's PR
Get tired of waiting, being ghosted
Close PR
Delete branch
Leave comment saying "haven't heard anything, deleting this and taking it with me"

I'm thinking of moving into functional programming. I'm deciding between F# and Haskell. I don't like that both have indentation as syntax, but that's neither here nor there.
I know the .net core stdlib like the back of my hand. I'm trying to decide - and, as the purpose of this post, trying to ask the community - if this is a *bad* thing when trying to learn a new programming paradigm.
In other words, I think I want to try Haskell because I won't be able to lean on my knowledge of the standard library. I'll be forced to actually understand the language and learn functional concepts, instead of trying to bring my OOP knowledge over from C#.
Additionally, the .net stdlib is obviously built in a OOP design, so I'm afraid that the F# stdlib might suffer from that too.
But I'm still thinking that maybe my knowledge of the .net stdlib will be more helpful than harmful? Like, yes, I'll be using it as a crutch but at least I won't be trying to learn three things at a time (stdlib, syntax, and paradigm) and can focus solely on the syntax and paradigm.
Anyone have any insight into this problem, or maybe some wild guesses?14 -
My SQLite database has 37.930.787 records. The amazing part about it, i have inserted every record myself, by hand. Every key press is 3 records. So 37.930.787/3 is the amount of keys I have pressed this year. Quite sick huh? Oh, the data is still manageable btw, I have complete statistics pages about typing behavior such as speed and so on.13

Currently building a simple-as-possible source language for my compiler and I was thinking whether I really need structs and arrays as fundamental objects. But I guess it makes sense because one is a heterogeneous collection and one a homogenous collection
My thought: Let's call those types Homo and Hetero!
Maybe not the best idea ^^6
