I CALLED IT!!!
A few months ago I said that AR/VR would be (again) the next stupid hype after the GenAI bubble finally burst.
Now the facebook kid says that whoever doesnt buy his sparkly glasses is an uncool square.
Nailed it! Beware, people, the stupid crappy-lphone-in-your-glasses will be the next "disruptive innovation" that hypephiliac managers will preach as the new-new-gospel.
Maybe its the facebook kid's way of trying to revive his "metaverse" craptastic debacle?

devRant is so fucking slow I forget what I came here for. Must find some other way to let out steam.

Devrant is dying, is it the end of an era?

What a fucking shit Qt is, is it one one the most boring fw to work with? in essence a Qt prog:
QtThis
QtThat
QtFuck
QtWidgetFucked
etc...

Boring, uninteresting, and most important you won't improve your skills, and to finish the Qt shit in its most primary representation is bloated.

lol

just eating cheese, chugging coffee, and rolling with some hard techno

as I take this stupid prescribed anti dopamine pill

hahaha

(cheese has tyrosine which makes dopamine, coffee spikes dopamine, and obviously exciting things that hyper focus you are dopamine)

such a useless pill. modern society. already on the lowest dose

soon gonna eat cake. sugar gives dopamine spikes too

and I'm told don't smoke weed... which also gives dopamine spikes (but reduces inflammation) and had calmed my issues instead of exacerbating them, but noooo ignore me

I can't even with society. doctors don't believe in inflammation. only drugs we can't patent are bad mmkay. literally know nothing about chemistry, nutrition, but will tell you arrogantly and with superiority with no discussion how you should be living your life. such a prison. every time. Idiocracy healthcare buttons

JavaScript sure is a pain in the butt when it also throws errors depending if you are in a REPL or not.

Diary of an obsessed company.

So at our company, the interview loop includes Sudoku.

Why?
Because if you can’t solve a puzzle with numbers, how are you going to survive when product throws 47 Jira tickets at you with conflicting priorities?

We know you will want to ask:
“Uh… what does Sudoku have to do with shipping features?”

Our response to you is:
“Well… if you put a 3 where a 7 should be, the whole board collapses.
Same thing happens if you deploy on Friday at 4:59pm.”

Next:
We interviewed a candidate
He solved the puzzle.
We hired him.
He still deploys on Friday and can't close tickets. 😔😔😔

🔥 Fire him!!!!! 😆 🤣 😂 😹

Just checked the source code of our backend project with that tight deadline. So far, the backend consists of an in-memory database, 2 records and no API. 🙃

There is also no documentation on how it should look like 🤡

I ❤️scratching mosquito bites, got a huge collection of them

A PCIe gen 7 1x slot has roughly the same data rate as a gen 3 16x slot.
Let me guess what that much bandwidth can ever be used for? AI 😑

Bossmang wrote a cursor prompt to pull tickets, their SLoC counts, and their average time to completion per dev, then praised or chastised accordingly.

You guessed it: no thought to complexity, code bloat, or scope creep. Just SLoC/day, days/ticket.

What won the statistics award is being assigned lots of small tickets /
tickets without scope creep, committing branches that don’t get merged, writing verbose spaghetti, using AI to write/rewrite large swaths of code, and simply moving large files.

Great job, dude! 💯🎉

HTTP/3 requires TLS. Wouldn't this make it drastically less economical to run a reverse-proxy? Are 4 unnecessary cryptographic operations per request not significant? What about the bandwidth overhead of rounding up the length of responses like `HTTP 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: 2\r\n\r\n{}` which make up a majority of all traffic to the nearest encrypted block?

Got an interview for a salaried position. Paid 4000 before taxes (so 2.3k netto).

My rent is 1500. With that money, I can pay my rent, my bills, and eat (if they don't withdraw my debt from it ofc).

Yay

Sold my first ever license. :) Months of work paid out.

Went through a typescript tutorial and had a few aneurysms along the way.

What in the lovechild of basic , c and js families is this bullshitery?

Have I gotten so old or is anyone else feeling this?

STOP USING AI IN HUMAN-HUMAN COMMUNICATIONS FFS

I discover every day some new annoyment with Windows 11. So far, I haven't found a single advantage over Windows 10. Windows 11 is a 100% downgrade.

"We weren't able to come up with a solution before because we were using GPT-3, and now GPT-5 has come out which is so much better"

"Even if the issue's unique, it's the context that matters. Had we put in a higher level prompt, we would've fixed this issue already"

"We absolutely need to implement an AI-first system because Amazon laid off so many engineers because of AI, it must mean that we are not using it properly."

"I'm gonna put a $1000 into trying Devin, and if it doesn't work, we're gonna keep trying over and over until we eventually reach the solution"

sigh....

If weed can damage your short term memory, imagine what weed can do to you.

Stay away from weed!! It does something to you but I forgot what.

typeof NaN
'number'

Yes... in JavaScript, the type of NaN is Number. Go figure...

Me and my bug are having dinner date

I found a simple code example in a book teaching programming concepts:

let result = 1;
let counter = 0;
while (counter < 10) {
result = result * 2;
counter = counter + 1;
}
console.log(result);
// 1024

...I can't believe I didn't get it right the first time. Yes, the result is 1024 and not 20. For it to result in 20, the statement would have to be:
result = result * counter.

Upon reflection I concluded: An exponent is a multiplication by a multiplication, so... it exponentially grows.

So I ask: how do you develop a second nature for these kind of problems? You studied it? You studied and practiced it? You're awesome at mathematics? It annoys me that my intuition often wrongs me when it comes to mathematics.

We don’t hire problem solvers. We hire problem memorizers.

Like many of us, tired of hearing the expressions: "infused with A.I.", "powered by A.I.", "augmented with A.I.", "A.I.-first", etc.

I swear, people can't recognize a social panick when they see one.

Turns out it wasn't the RAM nor the graphics card but the barely used NVME (that I recently started using with linux as boot) that was causing random crashes.

Very tempted to still just replace the whole thing...

Nothing too important on there other than my bash history and LLM models

Can't wait for this AI to take my job

WASM threads have been supported in every browser since 2021, but Rust can't support them because production users and library authors enabled WASM support in thread-unsafe ways relying on WASM being single threaded, so enabling it would almost certainly introduce vulnerabilities.
