Just spent 5h figuring out why sending a serial command wont trigger in U-Boot. Was literally soldering wires to the boad, decoded the entire line with a scope, used several adapters, downloaded the firmware again and again over serial and USB-dfu and a looking for alternative boards online just to find out cutecom was set to send no LF after a command so U-Boot thought i was still typing something. This is literally the semicolon joke you see splattered over normie coding memes.6

Abortion should only be legal AFTER the 9 months period in my opinion.
It's when the fetus taste the best. Just a bit of slowcooking and it taste wonders paired with a bit of chardoney.41 -
I never understood the programming language discussion thing. In modern programming, all you do is gluing APIs together, no matter if they're third party or built-in. My JS code is literally 95% fetch() followed by querySelector.
All built-in APIs that do something useful are just linking C++ modules. If you're not doing stupid shit, Python is exactly as fast as C++ or Rust.
The only scenario where speed matters is algos. Guess what? You should write your algos in C and link them to your Node/Python/Go/whatever code. And don't even get me started on reinventing algos. Do you really think you can write an algo in one evening that will be more efficient than what the guy whose PhD thesis it was a part of?
Just because some engine parts require the precision only a million-dollar CNC machine can provide, doesn't matter you have to cut the whole car out of a solid block of high-performance engine block alloy.
Remember kids, sorting array in Python is always faster than sorting array in C, because Python's sort was written by someone else who's smarter than you, went through years of scrutiny and iteration, and doesn't have stupid novice algo complexity errors.

for some reason, I have started to despise people who follow the rules, and people who conform
but I guess thanks to these sheeple I get to enjoy life18 -

Why has nobody built an actually GOOD (s)ftp client yet? It's sort of crazy that Filezilla is STILL the first result on google (my AV correctly identified the installer as adware because it has by-default-enabled adware downloads) and then the next is windows-only.
I almost wish there was a nicely made Electron app (or - much better - qt) just so the UI could be fucking acceptable.
Is it time for me to start my next unfinished project??5 -
I met a german dude, in his 50s. Had a lot of tattoos, missing teeth and he is born in East Germany. I told him "heil hitler" "my fuhrer" and he said "oof... don't say it in Germany".
I want to buy a silver ring with swastika.11 -
when you figure out a solution to something, do you think it's you who figured it out or did "inspiration" come to you somehow, out of nowhere, with the answer?5

How is FBX the main format of blender when it is so damn bad
For the last 10 minutes I have tried exporting a model as fbx so that it has the same scale and coordinate system as in blender. That's literally the only job a model file format has to do
I still haven't managed to do it. How can a model format be this frustrantingly bad???13 -
👨🏽💻 Switching between multiple Git accounts: work, personal, freelance?
Ever pushed a commit with Company A's email to Company B's repo? 😩🥶
Been there. Done that. Regretted it immediately.
I just dropped a step-by-step guide on how to set up Git so it automatically picks the right name, email, and SSH key based on your project folder.
No more manual config switching. 💡
✅ No more identity mix-ups
✅ No more commit shame
✅ Just clean, context-aware Git workflows 🙌
🔧 What’s inside:
- Multiple SSH key setup
- Smart .gitconfig using includeIf
- Folder structure that keeps you sane
- Bonus tips for HTTPS + personal token users
If you’ve ever yelled at Git (or yourself), this one’s for you.
👏 Drop a clap if it helps and follow for more dev-friendly tips!

just spent a good three days of my week off trying to figure out how to containerize a couple of services. nothing crazy, two frontends communicating with the same backend and then having it all be handled via a nginx reverse proxy.
i cannot overstate how much i do not like docker at this moment in time. it seems like every time i run into a solved issue for any underlying technology, docker *requires* you to figure out some workaround to do it differently. obviously my use case isn't exactly the docker use case (i am NEVER going to redeploy these services anywhere else and i will only ever develop locally and run remotely) but i cannot imagine myself keeping sane trying to configure this for anything larger. things just don't make sense in my brain here.1 -
Video editing is hard af. I shifted from VSDC Free editor to Davinci Resolve now, and its kicking my ass.

I grew up in Russia. We don't use imperial units in any way, shape or form: we're fully metric. Every single person who taught me at school and whatnot was born and raised in Soviet Union that was also fully metric, and science was worshiped. We used to laugh at imperial units.
Given all that, I... don't hate imperial system. Inches, feet, miles, Fahrenheit degrees, gallons, all units based on human proportion. Just think where the word for "feet" came from.
Zero C is meh, nothing in particular. A hunge boils your blood kills you instantly. It's useless: it's a "shit ton of heat" in human scale.
Zero F is chilly, a hunge F is toasty. It's based around human perception. To me, there is no difference between 100 and 90 C, but the difference between 100 and 90 F is more perceptible, and thus more useful to a human being.
Same with every other unit. What's a gallon? A gallon is enough for an average Joe to get drunk, that's what a gallon is.
Where it all falls apart is when you're trying to create something. When you're trying to get some calculation going. When you're making — not consuming — you need your units to add up, e.g. to have the SYSTEM in place. Imperial system is not a system.
Imperial units are perfect for _consuming_ stuff: a gallon of milk, a pint of beer, a (real) footlong sandwich, a pound of meat. Six foot high dude with seven inch dick.
Metric units are indispensable when you're _making_ stuff, at any scale. That's the difference. Imperial units are the tool of consumption, metric system is the tool of creation.
Only the time units seem to be the same for everyone on earth right now. Time itself in its mercilessness gives the same treatment to all entities, doesn't matter if you're a human or a grain of sand.26
