Depression thought of today: All those beautiful emotions you felt as a child, playing minecraft or whatever. All those great emotions you felt for all of that. How it felt like a rich world around you with so much potential and you were at the center
Not only will you slowly forget how those beautiful emotions and memories felt, not only will you forget all the memories you had...
You'll never be able to recapture them, even with alcohol... They're gone. Your childhood is gone....
I fucking hate it. I hate everything17 -

Some people have a very confusing way of communicating things…
And you need to painfully pull out of them every bit of information.
Colleague:
```
ITEM_ID <- only this will work
1200
1201
1300
1301
1400
1401
```
Me:
What does this list mean?
(I want to know if this is supposed to be a white list, but that doesn‘t make sense business wise)
Colleague:
*explains what the ITEM_ID means*
Me:
(Yeah I know what it means)
Are those ids in the list examples or the only possible values?
Colleague:
Yes, examples. But there are restrictions. Not all will work.
Me:
(Ok this is confusing again)
What are the restrictions?
Colleague:
*Explains the restrictions.*
(Those have nothing to do with the list)15 -
Anyone else sick of repetitive talking
Bullshit excuses
And civilization history and technology and progress in our economic system being held hostage by fucking whacked out psychos?
Christ I sure am15 -
My god why are all parser combinator libraries in Rust so bad??
Is it too much to ask for to parse a normal ass programming language with error recovery???? That's like 99.99% of what people need a parsing library for and somehow error recovery is always some weird after thought bandaged on after the fact
For fucks sake, I'm finally getting over the urge to reinvent the wheel all the time, but now all the libraries suck ass so I have to. Arrghh!20 -
I'm the only one who loves programming and computers but hate most of the culture around it? The tropes (caffeine addiction, programming socks...), the YouTube "gurus" who makes clickbait titles and usually screams while reading other peoples blogs, the [hyperSpecificWebFramework]Conf where hours are wasted in which seems an infomercial for "yet another way to update an HTML page basing on a series of properties", the hackathons...
More I distance myself from this mountain of BS more my enthusiasm for tech grows19 -
Has anyone tried to write something in Python with disabled GIL already? Which difference did you see?12

Batman will never work in real life.
Like there is only one batmanand only one gordon. (Yeah robins and batgirls and batwoman, max 5? but they always go together)
What happens if crimes happen simultaneously? Like 10 crimes at the same time? It's a big city.
Then one manning doesn't work.
you need at least 50 batmans and entire corporation of gordons.
But entire Batman's story is stupid. It's an economic problem. Fix the economy and you will get less crimes.11 -
The year is 2025.
WSL2 still makes it a major, excruciating pain in the ass to expose a port over the network without having to look up the fucking command and think about the stupid cancerous networking model every time.
All I wanted to do was run some experiments with AI models on my gaming laptop using its GPU, and expose an API to my other laptop, having the latter as a client.
Guess I have to get fucking rid of Windows forever if I want a fucking usable computer.12 -
@Lensflare I don‘t need to go to whatever websites that you are linking.
You can‘t experience the state of being dead, by definition.
No amount of drugs or spiritual bullshit will give you an actual experience of being dead, because nobody knows how it is to be dead, because it‘s fucking impossible, again, by definition.
Just because your drug trips give you the feeling of "woah bro, it’s totally like I‘m dead, bro" doesn‘t mean it‘s actually like being dead. Fucking imbecile.37 -
I really want this whole industry to die. I want it to happen from the bottom of my soul!
Their whole job ad was about web technologies where they were asking for a 7-10 years Symfony developer.
One would think being a programmer for 10 years should superseed your shitty LLM prompt crafting requirements.
Truly, there never was a better time for global EMP to happen..16 -
I thought that the teambuilding of last year was bad... it was a workshop for the Wim-Hof method & an ice bath. Today, it was mucking horse stables, stripping some fences from barbed wire & horse riding.
My company has nothing to do with either anything related to ice baths or animals7 -
So hey would you people still want to use rust if we turned it's name into something like Shine ?
Just curious since that initially seemed to be the main attraction to retards in your collective age groups.
Continuing the tried and true practice of trying to sneak their perverse bs into good ideas.

> Americans: THOSE ENGINEER KIDS HIRED BY ELON ARE BRILLIANT AND AMBITIOUS, THEY ARE SO SKILLED, THEY'LL DO WONDERS FOR THE COUNTRY
> me, knowing full well the average dev is a retarded mongrel I wouldn't trust with a hotdog stand, without even going into the whole "Musk is a schizo" story36 -
There are too much Japanese on this site. There is such thing as too diverse. The Japanese on this site do not respect our wholesome dev culture.105

Client: We're already behind schedule and over estimate
Also client: *keeps asking for more changes*
Why are civilians like this11 -
Well, my boss is officially unhinged.
He threatened me in a call. He thinks I ratted him out to HR for living over seas. Funny thing is I don't give a rats ass, he's got the wrong guy.
Going to HR now though, see if I can move teams to minimize the damage he can afflict on me.12 -

They sell billions of prozac pills everyday. Prozac is well-known for increasing suicidal ideation either at the start or at the end.
There are LSD analog who does not produce any psycho-active effect but increase neuroplasticity (building new neurones, new connection and thus new coping mechanisms) and increase moods.
If these idiots didn't forbid drugs even for scientists we would have solved depression by now.8 -
Been having stomach pains since I read my boss's email, giving me new tasks.
This is becoming regular btw. It happens even when I run into him.
Any advice for how to manage?27
