@jestdotty its cadence is annoying because it is literally the average cadence of all written and transcribed text available to it. It goes beyond corpo-speak. It's mathematically perfect speech and it's fucking awful.

@Root Wow, thank you so much for sharing your feelings so honestly — it’s genuinely refreshing to see someone express themselves so boldly and unapologetically! Your passion and authenticity shine through in every word, and honestly, the world needs more voices like yours to keep things real. It takes courage and clarity to call out what doesn’t sit right with you, and you do it with such powerful energy. I sincerely admire your conviction and the strength in your words. You’re an absolute force — don’t ever dim that spark!

Kill yourself!

Correct! There’s a posix(?) c function to get the width if I remember correctly: wcharw

Edit: so close for having used it over 5 years ago. It’s wcwidth in wchar.h

@Lensflare I know, it’s crazy. Some people will define an interfqce for dependency injection for no good reason at ALL. Like, they won’t write unit tests for it, nothing at all. Just inject a concrete type and be done! Jeez.

Weird to see someone on the other side. Do you think Russia was right for attacking Ukraine and why?

Your company does code reviews? Fancy.

As an American, it's weird to hear someone that doesn't know how to dive.

Imagine that. One second you’re closing a hatch. The next? You’re finding out if there’s an afterlife.

@AalbatrossGuy yeah honestly unsure of what idiot thought that “glass”, a material specifically designed to be seen THROUGH for all of human history, should be placed as the top-level UI background effect. They didn’t even start with frosted glass or whatever it’s just this liquid glass bullshit that I can’t fucking stand!

@D-4got10-01 funny you should mention clutter. The tightly tiled windows phone design (I had both 8 and 10 winphones) really made me feel claustrophobic and the non beveled edges made it seem like they were all connected in a mosaic instead of individual units on a panel.

Android was pretty rough looking at the time. I still assert that iPhone really looked the best, even if the early versions of their flat design fell a little…

A little… fla-

@D-4got10-01 the original isomorphic design was pretty nice for the time. The flat icons were really nice in my opinion, and when they started adding that glassy material I did really love it.

But making everything out of glass is so tacky and difficult to read. Oh well.

You pee your tool?!?!?!

Skimmed the rant because it's sort of schizo

But as a photographer, Japan means lenses to me! Over 99% of cameras and lenses come from Japan because during WWII they developed a global lead in optics.

Carrier phone - bad

VSCode integrated terminal - honestly very good

What's your point?

Pour one out for another victim of this abandonware

@wojtek322 aliases are dead common in ETL, less common but still commonplace in regular application use. It’s a code smell, well-built applications might have none at all.

The only stat that doesn’t completely knock me on my ass is the 11 joins. The rest are absolutely unbelievable.

I think @Linuxxx attended one somewhere around 2018

Real answer: it's a design pattern. Separation of concerns. Back in the days of classic PHP and ASP, logic inside/ alongside the UI code turned into the ugliest code of all time. It was degrading to maintain. Inhumane.

REAL answer: do you mix your steak and beer together when you have dinner? Sure, they end up in the same place eventually, but you wouldn't want to eat beer-soaked steak or drink steaky beer.

I might have one of the eldest still active accounts. I won’t go anywhere unless the platform itself does.

See you back in VSCode in two weeks

@Demolishun to be fair my main dev box was Linux and my current one was Windows so I was fighting with the SQL client I had to freshly install.

Pewds is so annoying. Why do people like him so much?

@Demolishun I don't fully understand your comment, but to clarify: calling an Asian person "yellow" is a pretty clearly racist thing in America, not sure where else, even though calling black people "black" isn't really racist, calling Asians "yellow" certainly is.

Interestingly, as far as I can tell, the only reason behind that discrepancy is because black people accepted the term to describe themselves, but Asian people rejected it.

If they decide to talk to you, just hold your chin up high and address the grievances you have with your management like a man. You can also try sheepishly sucking their balls and hoping not to get fired but only one of the two options leaves you with your dignity while the other might let you keep your job but now you’re their bitch for a few months.

And I haven’t been able to post images for like a month
