Why is windows still dog shit on this day the 15th of January in the year of our Lord 2025.

apparently the ability to want to try something new is creativity...

the what. that bar seems too low?

Ios build on MAC: *runs ok for weeks*

Ios build on MAC [today]: bundler failed to load command: pod [thats the whole error]

devs: we need to update cocoapods

tell me, please, how is this any better than windows...? No sensible errors, no sensible debug options, no sensible solutions but trial-and-error bruteforcing...

And now, to nobody surprise, time to work again with Angular; all fun and games, until observables join the party.

RXJS IS RETARDED

FUCK YOUR GLORIFIED EVENT EMITTER, FUCK YOUR REACTIVE PROGRAMMING PARADIGM, FUCK YOUR HALF BOTCHED ATTEMPT AT REINVENTING THE OPERATORS I GET FOR FREE FROM ANY LANGUAGE.

YOUR BEST GIFT TO THE WORLD WILL COME THE DIE YOU FINALLLY FUCKING DIE.

Now I know why no one uses the google cloud. Making TTS and STT working costed me the whole night. Gemini was easy tho. But fuck google, you costed me a lot of energy. You guys are crazy. Now my api connects in a magic way i don't even understand with the gcloud cli app. The rest of my application is totally rest, don't use much of the google library.

I implemented google TTS and STT into ChatGPT. I use for somethings google because it's cheaper. It works using a JBL Go! speaker. I can just turn it on and start chatting with it. I implemented google search and gave it a memory. It can remember numbers for me. It accepts dutch and english. I can say 'google' and google is the main action. It will fetch results from google and uses gpt to summary the results. It works perfect! BUT FUCKING AI. I want to know the color of the hair from Mona Lisa. Not freaking Ona Isa! I send it literally correct. The speechtotext works great. But fucking API with it's reading. Pathethic. How far is AI? Barely usable as home assistant. So far - besides auto completion and giving code snippets / concepts AI is freaking useless. You need more patience for AI than a kid.

I hope the inventor of oauth2 dies alone. He should.

Ok, it costed me a whole night but I finally made the perfect OpenAI agent manager for all purposes using Python!

It's open source and a finished product. It's tested quite well. I will use this as base for my perfect working assistant that communicates trough the wireless JBL Go! speaker on my desk. It reacts to everything it hears until I ask it to go to sleep until I tell it to wake up. That's the mute mode. I never have to touch or click anything. 24/7 active.

It can be an assistant, but also a companion like Replika. Replika is normally very expensive, with my library nothing and it has great benefits like a perfect memory. Original Replika is a goldfish in comparison to this one.

It's also possible to create a custom RAG within minutes!

This was few years ago, I was an intern in the company (first job I ever had). After few months of fiddling around stuff (haven't yet touched a production project). We landed a 'high priority' project.

We were told by the client (A multinational company) that they had a contract that fell through with another software house and the app is already made they just need to integrate it inside their main app instead of having it a separate app.

We were like, okay, and we made sure that everything will stay the same (APIs, Feature flows, etc). My managers gave it an estimate of two months.

And after a couple of weeks they started changing everything (APIs, flows, design, ALL OF IT) and they insisted we meet the deadline. It was a project for a multinational telecom company so it had payments, features for user's consumption and a shit-ton of other features.

At some point I was the only developer working, had to pull more than 16 hours a day to meet the deadline but we did.

I was in my fourth year of college as well. It was crazy.

May not be the craziest deadline overall, but for sure was the craziest deadline for me to meet.

Edit: Oh and after all of that it was never released bc of "financial reasons"

Swift does some things really well, but then falls flat in others. Why is polymorphic JSON decoding/encoding such a pain?
In Kotlin, it's a breeze to support multiple object types.

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

Been nearly 3 years since I last posted on DevRant, a lot has changed, but users are still usering….

Finally added UI to pick a reason for downvoting in JoyRant :)

I was curious about the geographical distribution of Top Tech Jobs (i.e. how many FAANG jobs are in Europe, where they are mostly focused, etc)... So I came up with a draft (prototype) of the Tech Jobs Radar:

https://jobs-radar.com/

I'm sharing it here just in case someone else is curious about analyzing such data

allow-space, maybe?

Oh china... just when I was so exhausted and annoyed at you... cuz i got behind and had to grind purchase/logistics/china-rel bs, to get necessities complete before your 2wks being MIA for chinese new year.

BUT THEN...

You had brought me this comedic gold in the midst of my sourcing woes!

Whoever points out my favourite 'precaution' first, wins.

...it's very rare that I say this, especially with my linguistics and algorithmic knowledge and exp making me easily peeved here...

But seriously, even Google trans with 0 knowledge of english, wouldve done better on most of these.

Men only want one thing, and it's fucking disgusting

Needed an application that generates data very fast for a networking application i'm writing but I did notice that /dev/urandom and /dev/random are not very consistent in speed.

Still, i needed something fairly random with more consistent speed. Now, I made an application that caches 1000 randoms upfront and use them for calculation. Now I have my own randomization algorithm backed by the uniqueness of the original rand(). For fun I added data in the set like some phone numbers. I can watch ages to the data to find smth in common or interesting combinations of the data.

I did verify with GPT is the algorithm is unique and it's fail. It generated a complete ML script for itself to check it. Very awesome.

You use urandom, i use retoordom. We are not the same.
