I hate complex boolean logic.

(true||false) && true || false || (true && false) ... etc (continue for at least ten clauses four times as long)

Life Update 6th June '24:

Naps are a thing now. I need more of those. I need all the naps. I'll come over to your house and steal your naps if I have to. I can't seem to get enough,

MORE NAPS !!!!!!

So I got my compute shader rasterizer working pretty well now which is great. I now also have a fallback to hardware rasterization for triangles which are a bit sussy (mostly just too large) and getting that implemented without tanking performance (gazillion threads hitting the same atomic variable at the same time) involved some tricky workgroup/subgroup hackery but I'm happy with it

Only problem... I have like 90%+ SM occupancy (which is great) but I also have 90%+ SM occupancy which means the nvidia drivers think I'm mining cryptocurrency and start bottlenecking my compute performance at random. It slowly goes up to 3x, then it slowly goes down again, then it slowly goes up again... argh

Thanks, miners 😐

Fuck you AMD for being too lazy to implement VK_EXT_fragment_shader_interlock even though your hardware supports it [1]

It's literally *the* best way to implement any sort of order independent transparency ( https://web.archive.org/web/... )

But noo, not enough people are using it so too bad. Now you just have to render transparent objects all fucked up and bad looking on AMD hardware because "we don't feel like it"

NodeJS’s transition from CommonJS is still a bit of a mess. Jest is the most used unit testing tool, but you need to fondle its balls to get it to work with ESM. Jasmine is the only major testing framework to support ESM out of the box. Luckily, jasmine is actually really nice.

Between me and my wife, we pull in 300k CAD a year, but we're still middle class. We should be fucking ballers living in a mansion, but I'm still budgeting at the grocery store.

I can afford to keep my house up, raise a family, and have 1 nice vacation a year. I guess it's fucked to complain since others are struggling to eat.

Still it seems crazy.

Is it just me, or does it seem like worse languages get more usage than better ones? Like, how many people know Haskell vs. Python? A lot of people dislike JavaScript, but why is it so damn popular then? And why didn't presumably superior Dart replaced it on the web, even with Google's support and lobbying?

I think the reason is that every language has vocal critics, and when a lot of people use a language, there will be a lot of such critics. When a certain critical mass (no pun intended) is accumulated, it begins to look like everything you can read online is bad things. Of course, the language being worse than some other hip language doesn't help.

What do you think?

lotta jealous 🤡 trolls on this platform...

funniest thing to me is they think they are so smart they are hiding their trollishness.... but it couldn't be more obvious 😂😂😂😂

bitch, i told you, i am muad'dhib

i see through all

i've even forseen this post and its replys

“Does god exist?”, I typed into a green terminal window after granting GPT-7 root access to our grid. “…now it does”, echoed from every speaker.

The entire GNOME project including gtk is the biggest pile of shit that has ever existed

The best video game ever in your opinion? Mine is Half-Life 2.

Rustards are the vegans of the dev world. The "written in Rust" and crabs all over the place in project descriptions is cringe af.

One of my favourite things in JS is the absolutely cursed shit that it lets me do.

Did you know that you can return anonymous classes from functions?

If it's in Electron, it's garbage.

Man, I told you to not drink so much the last night, now wash your face and grab a coffee, you have a program for the VAX-11 to finish.

Yet another confused recruiter:

The "JavaScript-based web app" starter pack.
Build web sites, not web "apps".
JavaScript is an enhancement, not a replacement for HTML.

do you hate cats or dogs?
programmers: Javascript

If you host a forum for dev discussions, make sure that, even in code blocks, every single or double quote will be replaced by quirky typographic quote characters that resemble their ASCII equivalents so closely that cut-and-paste programming will be punished by hours of searching the error in the wrong place.

Today my cat, my oldest girlfriend, passed away. She chose to be in the sun for her passing. I'm happy she had a good life in the end with all the space she needed. She did not suffer. It was sudden and just a cardiac arrest.

May she hunt many more mice and little birds in the afterlife.

Today was a good day.

I was told to use in-house BitBucket runners for the pipelines. Turns out, they are LinuxShellRunners and do not support docker/containers.

I found a way to set up contained, set up all the dependencies and successfully run my CI tasks using dagger.io (w/o direct access to the runner -- only through CI definition yaml and Job logs in the BitBucket console).

Turns out, my endeavour triggered some alerts for the Infra folks.

I don't care. I'm OOO today. And I hacked their runners to do what I wanted them to do (but they weren't supposed to do any of it). All that w/o access to the runners themselves.

It was a good day :)))))
Now I'll pat myself on my back and go get a nice cup of tea for my EOD :)

"Build an entire PoS system, from scratch, that will run in hundreds of airports around the world along with an accompanying back office. You have 6 weeks but 4 would be better"

Even for an agency this was an insane ask but they decided to only put myself, mid-level at the time, and a junior dev on the project.

Somehow we just about managed the deadline and the system has been up and running for almost 9 years now.

I am hisssssss… cleanse me

Sitting at work listening to music, doing absolutely fuck all right now because I ain't got no tickets! All the mfers need to answer me before I can work on their stuff.

Sounds great, no?

It's not. It's hell being unable to do work for me. I need to busy myself with doing random shit so I don't go insane.

Mhh, coffee...

Oh, by the way, Sir Jav'alot is still around too.

“httpOnly cookies prevent XSS attacks”… wow.
As if not being able to get your cookies is going to stop me from doing bad things.

When I'm in via XSS, it's over. I'm changing the page content to your sign-in form with “please sign in again” notice, but it sends email/password straight to me. What percentage of users is going to enter their data? What do you think? With password managers prefilling data, and the annoyance being one “enter” hit away, I think a lot of users will fall for that. No one, including you, will be able to tell the difference without devTools.
You can rotate the session token, but good luck rotating the user's password.

Oh, did I tell you I could register a service worker using XSS that will be running in background FOREVER?

But don't listen to me. Don't think. Just use httpOnly and hope for the best. After all, your favorite dev youtuber said they could protect you from XSS.

lol someone went systematically through my posts and downvoted each of them, i'm down like 200 points from weeks ago

imagine caring that much

@dfox

What does it take to give us some hope the spam around here can be controlled or removed by some power users?

Shit is getting out of control!

I'm pretty sure my ability to -- has been revoked again so that's no longer an option.

Reporting spam doesn't seem to do anything either 🤷‍♂️

What a sad day for emulation tbh.
But yuzu had it coming, considering the practices they employed 🤷

They also have to pay a 2.4Mio fine.

You owe nothing there beyond what you are being paid for.
