i dream of having a working dev and test environment

or being good enough to have my own stuff working

i don't go out of my way to fuck around with any of it, i just want to do my work, clock in, clock out

Soo... Turns out, if your laptop has usb-c charging and it has several such usb-c ports, you can use them simultaneously.

My lappy has issues with usb-c sharging, i.e. it becomes sluggish when charging w/ usbc (compared to on-battery and charging through barrel plug). Aaaaand Linux tends to occasionally crash if I unplug the charger while it's "awake". I wanted to change chargers, so I figured I could plug in the second one (hoping not to see any smoke) and unplug the first one. As soon as I plugged in the second one, all the lag disappeared and the battery keeps charging.

So if you have an usb-c charger that's too weak for your laptop, try using two of them :D

Never would have thought....

Guys what should I get my wife for her birthday?

What about a monkey?

Funny how clients demand for pixel perfection on apps when they took their sweet time on vacations.

Oh well, let's do it 💪

if someone in the group blames you for something, do you "accept responsibility" even if you didn't do the thing?

why or why not?

allow-space, maybe?

I'll keep on going about my vacation.

Went down the piste from where I took the picture, usually takes half an hour on average, I took less than 15 minutes.

I'm a tiny bit proud of myself :)

Is there a hidden joke in the fact that stand up meetings/daily stand-ups share the same word root with stand up comedy? It would seem the creators of that pointless activity thought it naughty/mischievous, if not a humorous giveaway that those gatherings are more for fun, entertainment, a joke, and a platform for product managers to not feel left out from the development process

That feeling you get when you write code so complicated, that a few weeks later, even with tutorial-level documentation, you don't know whats going on, so you just rewrite from scratch.

Yeah that just happened to me.

No time for deep work to re-grok what the fuck I was working toward, so I just rewrote the core of it to relearn the entire process.

Had comments, documentation, step-by-steps. Still the ability to understand and reason about it noped-the-fuck-out of the building apparently.

Might have had something to do with zero sleep three days in a row and too much red bull.

Sleep-deprived me operates on a whole different plane of existence.

Guys am i the only one removing my pants by jumping backward into the bed and rolling back until I'm leg up, catching my ankle and pulling?

It's the most efficient way I found

acquiring ownership of the bitchwork disaster recovery nobody wants to do

Ios build on MAC: *runs ok for weeks*

Ios build on MAC [today]: bundler failed to load command: pod [thats the whole error]

devs: we need to update cocoapods

tell me, please, how is this any better than windows...? No sensible errors, no sensible debug options, no sensible solutions but trial-and-error bruteforcing...

Finally.

apparently the ability to want to try something new is creativity...

the what. that bar seems too low?

People always complain about node_modules, at least it works most of the time, unlike god-damn python AI packages. I can't install https://github.com/shashikg/... because for some inane reason it requires a LLVM wrapper that in turn wants to compile LLVM manually. Not just manually YOU, the filthy dev that wants to use this holy library, must go and compile it yourself. And don't you forget to apply the holy patches.

God the code in AI projects always sucks - last time I looked at voice gen it required me to figure out what the fuck it was doing and go hunt down the libraries manually and still have to vendor in half the library because they used a library that had a minor migration but was 2 major versions behind or similar issue.

Why do science bros write such shit code that always wants to reach into things completely unnecessarily. Just write your shit properly.

Is this why they always have docker image...

Why is windows still dog shit on this day the 15th of January in the year of our Lord 2025.

Most expensive thing you ever bought?

I think I just bought about 20 seconds of relevant audio recordings for over 300€ 🙃

But hey, the virtual car has to sound good or whatever... totally not a painful investment...

Lady next door was visiting me. She is 67. She is a kinda psychologist and she needed a new site. With her just sitting here, i generated one with gpt and explained her html a bit. The instructions are as follow:
- if you add a page, duplicate the other page and remove the text you don't want. Do not remove html unless it's around content what you don't use anymore.
- learned her how to copy a href and change the link.

So, first, she asked me for a website. The last thing I want is somebody's website in maintenance or even work on it. Making "beautiful"/commercial sites is not my hobby.

Now, for 1,80 per month she has a domain name (i asked if it will have SSL, that's still bit unclear) and 1,- hosting per month. I think it can be even cheaper. It doesn't support php/python and stuff.

TLDR; i gave someone a HTML site generated in 5 minutes, tried a few style sheets and she was happy with it. Bye bye designers :P No one cares! Also full responsive.

Hmm... I was reading postnatal depression fliers for moms and came across a depression quiz.

Turns out, I have a severe depression, 23/27 score 😁

that would actually explain a lot... A LOT...

There is no traffic cone emoji.
Sorry.

Calling all devs to list all things which annoys the fuck out of the internetsurfing experience. I remember the days when the internet was fresh and every website was just static and weird. Geocities anyone?

Here are my two cents:
- dsvgo cookie popups
- autologouts after X min. Even while writing a message in their contactfield
- need for an account for everything
- docs and invoices to be downloaded in their customer portal instead via send to email or automate that shit somehow
- spam
- ads and adword websites
- lots more

ladies and gentlemen, goto in JS!

As much as I dislike google, it's so much more pro-active compared to Bing and Yandex :v

google already indexed my pages n removed the ones per updated robots.txt

Bing doesnt know I exist even though crawlled in webmaster, and Yandex still shows the Novemver version of pages in their results

can't beat human

How do you motivate yourselves to work on side projects? like I just wanna sit on my ass play video games

I wish I knew how I can convert my motivation to game to study better or work on side projects but I don't have the secret recipe.

no man, I can't rebase, I don't work for you anymore

"While a spectrum is defined as a function of frequency, a cepstrum is defined as a function of 'quefrency'. Quefrency is measured in 'time' and can be interpreted as a measure for time offsets of patterns in the time domain."

What in the actual fuck did I just read

lets pretend its the nineties.

It's nice when devs are
happy you find bugs in their code, like I don't want to bother them with issues so saying thanks is positive

TFW someone insults and demeans you repeatedly but keeps picking up habits and aesthetic and making decisions that copy yours...
