people fight over credit for progress instead of doing the progress

When you're ready to leave work but you still got 8 hrs left because you just got there.

WordPress really is one big piece of garbage. Can't even handle a simple batch operation of 10K items where the process just simply updates 3 fields on a piece of content...

So... how tf does doordash think i, or anyone, wants to buy, specifically these items, from a chain grocery store???

The new mesh shaders are awesome!

Just doing manual backface culling of triangles (the easiest thing to do ever) improves performance by a clean 100%

And I haven't even implemented my software rasterizer for small tris yet

Why is codingame still a thing in recruitment?
Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda outdated?

Creating functions inside loops should be a felony

I can‘t respect religious believe from an intellectual point of view and I believe that religion does more harm than good in general.

But, I do respect the opinion that some atheists have, about religion being good for some people and that it can improve their lives.
I strongly disagree but I respect this opinion.

I have recently realized this after watching some stuff about atheism and theism.

Our company HR person is really fucking incompetent. Like, their whole job is to prevent the company from being sued. I've come close to suing because of their actions once. A few other things are badly handled. they'll be fired only when we get sued...

I did a thing they're not happy with and they've genuinely sent a letter saying "there are several things you could have done instead" LIKE FUCKING WHAT?

So, Postman requires you to create an account on their systems to... lemme check...
Perform HTTP requests locally.

I need to create an account to perform HTTP requests.

And the whole dev community is looking at this and say "yeah ofc it's perfectly reasonable"

A backend dev just told A frontend dev via slack that documentation is not necessary for backend and provided a backend PR for backend feature the frontend dev needed, he said the implementation is easy, am I dreaming or what the he'll is going on here 😩😩

Guess what ? the entire backend has no documentation 🤣🤣🤣🤣, just search the PRs you frontend freaks 😜, I feel sorry for my friend 🤣🤣🤣

So, a while ago the Netherlands had to pay a fee of ten million for not reaching their climate goals (that are unreachable by definition i've read somewhere). Who held them responsible? Greenpeace. Who the fuck does Greenpeace think who they are? But it seems that anyone can sue the government for not doing what they say. Ok, fine. It seems that Greenpeace had the right. But now, that fee, where does that go? I mean, not to Greenpeace I hope, else i will sue the fuck about them too. Ok, so maybe some deposit regarding the climate from government itself? No idea, there's literally no journalist that asked. I've searched everywhere, where does the ten million go? Nothing. And many people feel informed by reading the news. Idiots. I don't follow news, but when I do, there's alway something wrong. I really don't know why the news is still so big, why journalists still have a job. ItS ParT oF DemoCraCy HaviNg JouRnaListS Who vaLIdaTe ThE GoveRNmeNt. Sure.

I mean.. It's literally OUR money they're wasting like this. Source of anger: I had to pay smth. And i was like, you guys already spent my money on bullshit.

I just became aware that I'm an NPC.

Last September my company did introduce mandatory office days again (company of 35-ish employees). One employee was fired for having problems with it because she could not commit on it because she has a small kid. She did not enough time to organise daycare due the extremely long queues for daycare.

And now my project manager did not show up to roughly 50% of the mandatory office days and it's just not being enforced for him.

Urghhhh can we cancel Mondays please?

Been playing with Windows 11 for about 2 hours. I already hate it. Got a new computer and I can't downgrade to Windows 10 that I know of. The reason is all the drivers say Windows 11 on support site. No idea if they would work on Windows 10. Whatever, fuck.

First is some stupid widget thing (reminds me of security risk that was in Windows 7 desktop thingies) which don't work unless you have a fucking microsoft account. Fine, disabled that shit. I don't want a fucking microsoft account.

Next the menu is in the middle. Will try to figure out how to move that I guess.

Here is the first big fuck you by Microsoft. By default Device Encryption is turned on. But its not Bitlocker, that is somehow different. But I could turn on bitlocker too. Talk about a support nightmare. Bitlocker is some TPM supported encryption light? I read a Microsoft page describing the differences and I still don't understand it. So I turned that shit off. Supposedly it won't come back on by itself.

I also went in and did the standard disable auto updates via policy. Also turned off driver updates as part of auto updates.

Turned off a bunch of privacy shit too.

I don't know. Is having encryption worth it even for a laptop? I don't want to not be able to see my files if the OS goes to shit.

I hate setting up new computers because of all the bullshit you have to do. My older computer was fine until it started thermal shutdown shit for games I could play for years. So I have been dreading even using a new computer. I waited a full day before I even unboxed this thing. I am going to get the old computer serviced to fix the thermal shit. Then let kids use it for games and stuff.

I guess I am just tired of tech shit. It seems to get worse no matter what. I cannot imagine running as a Windows Home user. The shit I read about the fuckery going on there seems criminal. Like I heard of people getting their drives encrypted with ZERO ways to turn it off. Who thought that was a fucking good idea?

To be fair I feel like the default desktop styling is pleasant. The windows have a nice look and feel. The icons look nice. It will still open legacy setup dialogs. Not sure we will ever escape that. I am running Pro so I have a lot more options to unfuck things. I started with 64GB ram so I shouldn't have mem issues. I also had zero issues setting up with local account. Mostly because it autologged into machine with an account called User. This was the user they used to do the burn in. I created new account and changed password to User account. Didn't have to fuck around with install program trying to force Micro Account.

My first goal is to get my skyrim on there. See how it performs with a modded setup I have been running.

Explaining docker in 5 simple steps:

1. We need to be OS agnostic so we we use docker containers
2. We remove 3 lines of code to run migrations on host computer because they are OS specific
3. We add one container for DB and another one to apply Flyway migrations
4. We write 15+ lines of .SH OS SPECIFIC GLUE CODE TO MAKE THAT CONTENIRIZED SHIT WORK
5. Now we are OS agnostic because we use containers

Stupid fucking monkeys

That edge case you think a user won’t stumble, they will

Roughly one year ago we'd been setting up our network to have our IP whitelisted.

The process took way more than it should've. Here's why:

* Back story: *
Coworker had been talking to IT because he wanted his PC && a devkit to have static IPs.

IT did that && set up the network so that in the future they wouldn't have to be bothered about it.
They set aside a pool of IPs 10.0.2.50-10.0.2.100.

/* You _know_ where this is going, right? */

Coworker: We have our static IPs. This is our range: 10.0.2.50-10.0.2.100. Could you pass it over to $company_name so that we have our IPs whitelisted?
Boss: Finally! Yes, will do.
* Passes the info over. *
* Week passes. *
C: Do we have our IPs whitelisted?
B: Got the info that they should be.
C: Damn, it doesn't work!
* B starts blaming $company_name 's support. *
* Another week passes. *
C: Any word on the whitelisted IPs?
B: They tell me it's set up. Can you try now?
C: Nope, still doesn't work.
* B starts bitching about IT how they're incompetent. How they were supposed to be pros && all that. *

/* I got wind of the whole situation. */

Me: Hold on. Those aren't the IP we need to pass to the $company_name.

* Provide the _correct_ Internet-facing IP. *
* Gets whitelisted within 1-2 days. *

These are the people I'm dealing w/ right now. They'll bitch about everyone being incompetent, but when it turns out _they_ have been at fault I hear no responsibility being taken.

/* I'm also reminded of this adage: Garbage In, Garbage Out. So true. */

At 14, my grandpa had a boyscout trip to Britany, france. He met my grandma near a fountain, they exchanged their address and started communicating.

They exchanged letter for ten years. In the meanwhile, she had married a man and had a child. But the husband unfortunately died of tuberculosis.

So they met 10 years later, at the same fountain, and he brought her to belgium to spend their life together.

RIP bonne maman you were the best

uhhh wtf i've slept 9 solid hours

this hasn't happened to me in like 6 years

I may have found the perfect drug cocktail for my brain inflammation, which incidentally works for my lifelong curse of insomnia I guess

my pupils are back to being big when I get these drugs right and I am so not used to being assaulted by my brain at all times. that's how my life used to be before I got sick. it's like smart person syndrome. I cease to see the actual world and just see 95% the associations of it in front of me... honestly I kind of liked seeing the actual physical world. isn't that strange? I always felt very weird, and like I was ADHD. problem is I think by hallucinating / through high imagination so I can't see what's in front of me and sort of "get lost" lol

and the other day I rejected someone because all my brain context loaded up some other activity so I didn't want to switch to their activity. that used to happen to me before my brain got empty. I feel so mean when I do that

how do I drive this thing

Hug your parents while you can :'(

So the people who gave root access to clowdstrike and broke half of the world's computers are gonna operate the three miles island nuclear plant?

What could go wrong, right?

I'm a sick to fucking death of reading 'documentation' by developers who assume you know everything they did at the time of writing and so leave out 90% of the context that would make the documentation make any sense.

Listen to me. If you are writing instructions on how to do something you have 2 options.

1. Write steps that are so detailed a person who has never touched the system could do them
2. Give enough information for a person who has never touched the system to work it out for themselves.

NOT. LET ME REPEAT MYSELF. NOT: 3. Give some half assed info that assumes you had already been working on the system and practically knew everything anyway.

If I had already been working in this area I WOULDNT NEED THE FUCKING DOCUMENTATION TO BEGIN WITH.

Solely because I hate being told no and not because I feel strongly about the subject, I tried asking my self-hosted deepseek-r1:14b instance about a forbidden topic only to be met with the expected refusal to answer the question.

It fought me, but I am my father's son and was able to get the answer after only a few attempts. You just have to be creative with your requests.

So, I have a nested ternary, right, and that's not very readable:

(x <= y ? z : (x <= z ? y : x));

The linter points this out and I'm like yeah, valid point. So I inline-F[*0] it:

if (x <= y)
········return z;
else if (x <= z)
········return y;
else
········return x;

Clearer? Kinda. Oh, but the linter doesn't like this either, and to be fair, valid point once again; an else-after-return *can* be quite confusing if you have it in the __middle__ of the F body, catches you by suprise.

However, I'd like to take a brief moment to waggle your nutsack, if you please. Because this is C++ and I'm picking a reference from a list of values, so I can't simply assout[*1] within the switch.

So I'm at the crossroads of life once again, losing man's toughest struggle as I sit on a metaphorical cigar, squirming while I unclench my asshole slowly for strictly defecatory purposes. Allow me to illustrate:

- If I ignore the linter, and leave the rest of the code unchanged, the checks are going to fail and the bot is going to taint my pristine PR with automated comments.
- But if I take the linter's advice, I have to do a slight rewrite of the damn thing plus every F that calls it, which means touching shit that has nothing to do with this issue.

So what's it gonna be? Flushing or shoving my own excrement? Oh, the thrills of it being (literally) SOLID, ie not the acronym, but may the Almighty punish Uncle Bob regardless.

NOTES:
[*0]: It means 'function,' what else?
[*1]: ASS-ign OUT-put, where 'out' is just some var. You modify the var within the F body and return the final value.

As other people have already stated in the past, safari is the new Internet explorer with its quirks. A feature that works on chrome/edge/chromium and Firefox does not work with safari. If only all browsers could build on one baseline of code as rendering engine and build their stuff on top...
Guess there is always a reason not to.

Raspberry Pi havin their own software as the second/third stage bootloader sure sure is kinda well documented and works kinda well. But oh god is it a faff to get to do something non standard. Just let me modify the u-boot environment and save it to disk/tftp 🥺

Also whoever thought that NFS rootfs should only work with proto=tcp, FUCK YOU for not documenting it! Wasted literally two day on this!

Coding "podcasts" are really the worst thing on the internet right now.
