we should archive these posts, I'm gonna miss the choice bullshit when this forum finally gives out

I have multiple personalities, collectively they’re called the council

Challenge for today: tell someone who micromanages that they are micromanaging and see what happens! I never saw our politically, culturally, morally, vibe'ly correct HR lady lose her shit so much :D funny how someone drops all masks when something vulnerable gets touched

Fucking hell, Microsoft Store is the most useless abomination that MS has ever produced and instead of killing it, like they do with their other failed products, they somehow, for some reason, still keep this lobotomized pile of crap alive.

Isn't it eerie how the same cat looks cute to you and absolutely terrifying to a little mouse? Imagine a monster that knows no mercy, can hear your tiniest movement, is 20 times your size, is faster than you, with fangs as long as your head is wide, that can crack your skull in one good bite and swallows those like you whole.

At this point I think we can reject the theory that image upload somehow fixes itself.

See this what I'm talking about

You all are either bots now or other peope copying and pastihg lines

But that's not the main point

Your dumb shit drives me crazy

Everything you people do is repetitive stupid mimicry of previous annoying disgusting degraded fucked up people

There is no reason I should have to run around like a mad fool all over my own fucking country putting out fires when my time isn't simply being wasted

And there is no reason you trashy people have to force me to lie to reinvent things when that's also just a bullshit trap intended to steal my things before you people either all die and or check out or bury tye truth

And there sure as fuck no reason this is necessary at all

Acknowledge the fucking year you fucks

I shouldn't be smelling disgusting things or listening to some fake fat fuck composite instead of enjoying private life around people who aren't fucking crazy apparently lying about horrific shit they did for fun trying to play pretend and cast doubt on other folks who eith3r don't remember or don't know they're just making some flimsy attempt to use them which is likely an enveloped deceit where another group is fucking the would be manipulators over

Fuck you

None of this worked before it just wastes time

Spent another 20 minutes blaming my tools when the issue was my fault again. Just wanted to let you friendly folks know.

(Forgot a “CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS” statement because on my other dev box, that database……. Already exists)

Why do I feel the need to do sudo rm - rf / when i access a client server?

My children will named after data structures

> Your concern is entirely valid—naming can significantly affect how intuitive a concept feels. The term "object safe" in Rust might seem odd or even misleading if we approach it from a traditional object‑oriented perspective.

can rust please stop trying to be "different" for the sake of being different. Dumbest thing. Just call things what they are. What's the point of words if you're not actually accurately using them. Especially for a programming language, which is based on math and logical systems. Like how. Why. Stop. Antithesis to the mindset that should be making languages to begin with if you can't do logic with the words that already exist. Horrible sales pitch. Are they trying to confuse people on purpose, make moats so nobody learns it? is this self-sabotage?

I have bludgeoned an AI on this matter. I feel kind of bad. It tried to ad hominem me and then tell me I'd get it if I wasn't so new, and that it's a perfectly valid name because it's in the "reference guide". Called it out on appeal to authority and now it's just saying my argument points back at me like it's groveling. Sigh.

And it's hallucinated thinking I'm the whole online community giving critiques on this matter now, therefore my points are valid, lmao

Project manager wants that we write a full app by only vibe coding and he is enforcing this...

Gotta say, this is one of the most unsatisfying projects so far...

Tech Hiring is so cooked now. Every job posting I see is like this

Must have 5+ years experience in:

TypeScript, FastAPI, Kubernetes, Java Spring Boot, PHP, Angular, React, Vue, CI/CD, DevOps, AWS, TensorFlow, Machine Learning, Flask, Flutter, Swift, Android Studio, Blockchain, ROR, Perl, Redux, Clojure, C, C++, C#, Golang, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Java.

Please don't apply if you don't fulfill all of the requirements.

Doing work disability paperwork. They've filled in paperwork saying they've provided all necessary and recommended equipment. I literally have paperwork of them declining to provide equipment recommended (and would have been paid for) by the government.

Fucking wild. Gonna be fun.

I did a little bit of finger practice in Unity, nothing fancy just two spheres and a capsule-guy under Newtonian gravity and a force-driven player control script that works on spheres.

I will never understand how C# libraries spontaneously decide that some operations will be nonvirtual methods while others will be static methods. It is the exact same thing! You're just ruining intellisense for no conceivable reason!

Also, transform has a right but no left, the float return value of Vector3.SignedAngle is not the same unit as Transform.Rotate(Vector3, float), Transform has LookAt(Vector3 position) but not Look(Vector3 direction), to do that you need to

transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.up, direction).normalized(), direction)

you can't discover whether a collision encountered sticky or dynamic friction, you need to infer that by calling RigidBody.GetPointVelocity on both RB-s at the collision point, which has its own quirks. Apparently this is to keep the API engine agnostic, but any serious project will have its own physics materials which already specify the sticky friction coefficient. A simulation that works correctly with physics materials but doesn't discover the kind of friction as an intermediate result is not possible.

RigidBody's velocity isn't displayed in the GUI, so you can't give it an initial value without a dedicated script. I have a script on this fucking moon that does nothing but add a force in Start.

Is it just me or does Unity feel cheap somehow? Like a hastily written library for a research project that was never rounded out with the obvious features. I understand that it's a free product that catalyzed the golden age of indie game development, but I think it's seriously struggling to keep up, not with the showy investor bait stuff, but with the standard of comfort modern tooling provides.

GUYS I FOUND THIS WATER BOTTLE THAT ADDS HYDROGEN IN YOUR WATER. HOW GREAT IS THAT

1 OXYGINATED WATER BOTTLE = 766 BANANAZ

Krystry and I got the same amount of work done last week...

Why is this a problem? Krystry was on leave

Just finished Expedition 33. GOTY material for sure. It's easily on my top 5 of all time.

Watching someone at a conference trying to play a video in their presentation on Windows PowerPoint. It’s painful to see. No audio. They then ripped the video from YouTube. It still wouldn’t play even in Windows Media Player. They’re still fiddling with it while the speaker and audience trade dad jokes. If I hooked up my Mac it would immediately work. How do Windows users live like this?

open source food wehn

apparently they put wheat and corn in things all the time... and seed oils like to fortify milk with vitamin d and vitamin a

and they don't have to notify you of that ingredient

so they don't

but people obviously have allergies to these things

which would sure explain a lot of shit. I noticed I couldn't eat anything that had corn in its ingredient list after I got sick, but there is also a bunch of stuff I can't eat that seems to mess me up the same way that doesn't have corn in their ingredients list, so it was purely fucking like Russian roulette gambling and trying new food would stress me out so bad -.-

companies might not like revealing how they're "creating the taste" or texture of their product to such a degree though. then it's revealing their "trade secret" like a company revealing their intellectual property

poison in your food is like a backdoor in your library though. I don't want to gamble. I want to know. fuck your shit. open source only or you're not getting on my wetware 😠

> Virtually all marketed drugs contain excipients, and final drug formulations commonly contain more excipient than active ingredient. Pharmaceutical regulations and standards mandate the identification and safety assessment of all ingredients in drugs, including their chemical decomposition products. Novel excipients can sometimes be patented, or the specific formulation can be kept as a trade secret to prevent competitors from duplicating it through reverse engineering

just feeding you this garbage. fuck you, that's why

in studies when testing these they also omit them =], so suddenly testing harmful product vs harmful excipients... oh it's less harmful than things we approved before!

if anyone wants to become an anti vaxxer: https://rumble.com/v6ss2zl-the-274t...
since sometimes people seem to claim that somehow is a crazy thing instead of a very sensible thing...
(though maybe don't watch that if it's gonna horrify you and you don't want that sensation)

apparently there's a sect of monks/philosophers that believe if you drink yourself silly on epiphanies you gain enlightenment

so cool

Enter BIOS menu
See the option called something like “ionic capacitor discombobulation”
Click “help” near the option to learn what the hell that is

I got deadlines to meet at work so I cancelled all unnecessary meetings to focus on my development work. Some high manager pushes for last minute work because reasons.

I log onto my laptop this morning and see IT did an emergency patch. I expect some minor inconvenience because every time they patch something they fuck something up too.

Well they managed to lock me out of most software installed on my laptop and PC, I cannot even connect any device to it. Even debuggers get denied. They even managed to wipe all my networking configs in my lab.

I guess I will be doing jackshit today until the IT networking department wakes up from their offshore slumber, because it usually takes them forever to do anything whatsoever.

Fucking worthless fucks. I am so tired of all this.

Today I finally felt the need for one of those mini fridges next to my computer. I told myself I will never be one of those guys.

I see more and more tech books with AI generated cover, and every time I feel like the whole book is probably generated and is worthless 🤔

It's impressive how slow the archive compression/decompression in Windows 11 is slow...

My company: "you don't have a choice what you work on"
My company on legal paperwork: "we've given them choice of what they work on to support and develop them as best as possible"

Both of those are verbatim quotes. I laughed. I mean, I now want to punch someone, but I laughed before the violence.

waiting on the day that someone else makes a decision on your future is not a fun thing to do, especially if you don't have the capability to outswim the sharks

If my month-long foray into electronics had no other benefit, at least now I have an AC detecting pen so I don't die while fucking around with light switches, and I can find which of the batteries scattered in the bottom of my wardrobe are dead.

turns out Battlestar Galactica was a meta documentary
