Left vs. right? Pro-life vs. pro-choice? Natalism vs. anti-natalism? Individualism vs. collectivism?

At this point in my life, I just choose the side whose advocate looks better in my opinion. Physically more attractive, that is.

If I think I agree with an ideology, but everyone who advocate for it looks like a loser, I'm doing something wrong.

If the dutchies had any balls they would declare war on the USA over the haag invasion act. Clearly a cassus belli.

But they're too busy whining about arabs lmao. What a bunch of submissive cunts.

"Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was"

I've come to love this quote. We, the engineers, are shaping the world. We have the tools, knowhow and expertise to move mountains.

I said it before years ago and I'll say it again: all the other roles are meant to assist us, not the other way around. We don't work for managers, sales dept., bosses. They can't do shit without us. Why do we need them? To buy us toys, to sell our creations and suggest us how to shape our creations to make a better sell.

Quit slaving if you feel you are a professional. Quit bending over to sales' and mgmt nonsense timelines and demands. Hear them out, consider their concerns and give them YOUR estimates and approaches.

WE are the power of creation. THEY work for us. Not the other way around.

Does not apply to juniors. They are still learning their way around

Americans love suing so much that they be calling their daughters Sue

figured maybe you can specify dependencies specifically to be used in main.rs (as a standalone executable) or lib.rs (as a library)

since for some reason there's dev-dependencies which specifies they will only be used in tests or whatever

well rust actually doesn't compile code that wasn't ever called / would be run (and nags you about code you have but didn't use anywhere). this means binaries are smaller and all that. i've known about this but seemingly the AI insists nobody needs to specify dependency differences between main.rs and lib.rs because of this quirk of rust compiling

ok well then why the hell is there a dev dependencies and a normal dependencies then?

well no good reason.
- "intentionality" -- how about the clarity of intentionality between being an executable or a library?! no? guess not
- build optimization, because traversing usability graphs can be taxing especially in big projects. ok. again still applies to executable vs library problem
- "community and ecosystem practices". really? we've always done it this way? shove it 🙄😩. you try to innovative and then willfully inherit the problems you solved of other languages... because that's how we've always done it. lame

double standards. so annoying

My model has learnt the most important stuff about devRant first. Including its biggest mystery. See screenshot (image upload still broken) https://devrant.molodetz.nl/2024-11....

It drives me crazy, will we ever find out?

Some people say he's on a German Opel/Vauxhall forum now having fun with vroemtards instead of us. I do find myself in a jealous position. "Ngl" like Sid would say. Don't judge, many 30+ year old speak gen Z.

Also, I've heard he drives daily to work in a Lada from an communist era. He has to because he went from self employed back to a loan slave and his new boss refused to pay his expensive public transport tickets while being late every time.

But one thing is almost certain at the moment! He's gonna marry!

(Seriously dude, if she knows your internet history and she still loves you, never let her go)

My new favourite error message:
error: "Callable[...]" not callable

Python type system...

Afrer an excruciating year of work, all I get is a ridiculous pay increase barely covering inflation. I am seriously considering resigning by the beginning of the year and live on benefits.
Even worst : the levelling of my current company is absolutely stupid, which I take as an insult to all the things I do and I can do while others apparently at my level would not even be able to think about. But yeah, I refuse to be a buffoon who spend his time posting useless bullshit on Slack.
Plus my manager is always on my back giving his opinion on absolutely everything, being wrong 90% of the time. I checked yesterday. 1 contribution from this person per month. But always very keen to prevent me from doing my job.
I am so fucking done.

Y'all ever notice azure spot nodes and autoscale get fucked up with North American power issues? I feel like a crazy person correlating our outages here.

Since i needed higher quality data for retoor9b I invested some time in the statistics project. It became quite decent. It's not a silly script anymore.

I also had rank per user regarding popularity (upvotes / post avg). It got lost somehow. I only know that IHateForALiving has second place. Root 10th. Netikras 14th, Lensflare 15th). First place was by not regular user who made one post with six upvotes. That's all. Hihi.

Repository: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

Dataset for LLM: embeddings:https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

Graph compilation with ALL users active last few weeks:
https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

All generated data by this project: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

Build / latest export status: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

In the LLM dataset you'll see more interesting data for every user like:
Statistics: User(ranter) retoor made 505 contributions to devRant(developer community) what means retoor owns 1.0 percent of contributions on devRant(developer community). The avarage post length of retoor is 219 and total post length is 111037. retoor owns 0.0 percent of content on devRant(developer community).
retoor is 315 times mentioned on devRant(developer comminity).

It's Saturday Night!

How is every one of you gorgeous devs, you know I love you guys! Hic! ;) xx

I Used to scribble my thoughts on paper. It's haphazard yet handy. And even though I can't make corrections without crossing out or drawing arrows to transfer the reader to continuation of the thought on another page, I have this liberty to express myself and glance at a panoramic view before putting them in their final resting place –soft copy

Maybe my thought process became more efficient but I no longer need to flesh things out with ink. Database designs, implementation logic. Everything goes to a special file I create on every project for odds and ends

Until today

I have something to think about. I will miss connecting the dots if they appear in fancy fonts. I need to gradually build upon each outline, pursuing it in an exploratory manner until its possibilities are exhausted. I will draw a conclusion from their character arcs

For some reason, I see parallels between this scenario and sql vs nosql. This is one of those extreme cases where structured data storage is not sufficient. I sincerely doubt nosql should be used as a main database, but instead an intermediary for an aggregator to treat each row/record as a unique blob, extract necessary information into a sql for the actual system to work with

Sql is more sane and recommended for when you know the exact end goal but need help arriving there. Today, I'm confused and need to weigh options. I need to actually cross things out, not press the back button. It's a bit of a stretch but if this were data, it feels like what nosql would excel at

My previous rant was still in my edit window while I wanted to create this random one and it was so bad, the effort of deleting it was even painful. Imagine reading it. You guys dodged a bullet like a Rust dev does with fun.

I was in my bed, just thinking about Rust people. Saying that Rust is saying that sex with a condom is great but we both know the truth and that you're only doing it because your environment like your parents and government (the Biden administration, fact) wants you to.

But while thinking this, I just found the real issue regarding declining child births in the west. Every time in history had it's issues, but we're doing fine. What changed that we don't have make those sweet kiddo's now? Well, we just don't have power outages anymore and we have the internet on a device with hours of battery to keep us entertained. We don't have to take the rewarding and exciting risk of a C dev anymore if we're bored (great sex without a condom).

My solution: planned internet outages executed by the MIVD (better than the CIA, the MIVD can at least keep secret what they're doing, I'm sure you've never heard of this tough bastards). The effects will be very easy measurable in a span of few years. But it has to be executed in secret so people don't cheat by downloading a Netflix movie upfront. Netflix & Chill is a hoax, else we would have a baby boom by now or we're all Rust devs.

Anyway, even if you're a Rust dev, admit that this is a great inharmful idea that could actually help.

I don't do jokes.

Phone is birth control, change my mind like I did yours.

You're welcome.

The only good thing about VISUAL STUDIO is it's tools (Developer console and Powershell).

Anyone tried eGPUs over thunderbolt? On Linux? Anything you could recommend?

I'd like to play around with ML for a bit
