@D-4got10-01 nowadays android devices are not much cheaper either

@cafecortado you can do that already!
The app itself is in english but you can add your own languages and phrases to be recognized as wtf.
I had this exact use case in mind.

@jestdotty sometimes I need to force my lazy ass to do some progress :/

@whimsical Sorry, I want to develop for a platform that doesn’t make me want to rip out my hair and bang my head against a wall every few minutes 😁

Btw, haven’t you switched to iOS?

MS Dev: We have this bug in Windows since Windows 10 and it’s still not fixed in Windows 11!

MS Executive: Yeah, so?

MS Dev: Well we should probably try to fix it.

MS Executive: Does it cost us money to keep it broken?

MS Dev: Well, no but…

MS Executive: Will it make us more money when we fix it?

MS Dev: Not exactly, but…

MS Executive: Then why the fuck are we talking about it? Piss off!

Yup, happens 50% of the time since Windows 10!
A nice display of the incompetence of MS and many fucks they give about their customers.

@BordedDev as someone who hates the taste of wine (any kind of drink with alcohol, really), I approve that the cheapest wine is usually the least disgusting.

@CoreFusionX As my chemistry teacher used to say: "Die Dosis macht das Gift" (The dose makes the poison)

Btw. gift comes from giving and in German the word Gift has actually evolved from "being given something (poisonous)"

Devrant anti spam bots :)

@retoor "more woke"? How woke are you right now?

@retoor ah, good, the score is updated now.

You have 5 upvotes but 0 score… 🤨
Devrant broken?

@whimsical theoretically cm and mm should be pixel density independent.
I mean that is essentially the idea of dpi: relating real units of length to pixels on the screen.
But we are talking about web and css, so…

@antigermanist so you don’t have a face now?

We have this exact same term in German: Fickfehler

That’s what AI is for! I’m surprised that, from all the people, you didn’t think of this! 😁

ChatGPT:

The Dutch word “neukfout” is a slang or humorous informal term that isn’t part of standard Dutch.

It’s a compound word:
• “neuk” → a vulgar term meaning to f** (have sex)*
• “fout” → means error or mistake

So literally, “neukfout” means something like “f**-up”* or “sex-related mistake”, but in practice it’s usually used in a joking way similar to how English speakers might say “a major screw-up” or “a stupid mistake”.

Depending on the context, it can have two main senses:
1. Colloquial/Workplace slang: a big error or blunder (like “blooper” or “screw-up”)
Dat was echt een neukfout in de code.
→ “That was a real screw-up in the code.”
2. Less common literal/sexual joke: a “mistake made during sex” — used humorously or playfully.

@wojtek322 is there something else which actually depends on the screen device’s pixel density rather than on font size or viewport relative size?

Because normally UI (like icons for example) should look "the same size" on any screen, no matter the screen size, pixel density or font.

What you call display dots are the actual pixels.
If in web dev the convention is to call pixels something that can span multiple physical dots on the monitor, it’s a horrible mistake and would only lead to more confusion.
Which also wouldn’t surprise me a bit.

I don’t know about browsers but on platforms like windows, macos, ios and android, those units are not called pixels.
In iOS for example you work with "points", not pixels.
1 point can be exactly 1 pixel on an old device with a screen with low pixel density.
Modern high resolution, high density displays can have up to 3 pixels in one point of length (or 3x3 pixels per point area).

In browsers, iirc you also have different units, but I‘m not sure about a standard way of developing purely in pixel independent units.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the answer is "somewhat yes, but not really"

@blindXfish brainwashed ostream doesn‘t see Germans as capable of humor :)

Yup, that annoys me as well.

I have severe sleep problems too but I haven’t tried meds yet. Somehow I manage by listening to background noise (talking voices) and drinking tee with melatonin to fall asleep.
Sometimes it feels like torture being tired and sleepy but not being able to fall asleep.
I fear that when I start taking meds for that, I‘d become addicted to them, like you are, I guess.

Do you think it’s worth it?

@blindxfish I see you are a fan of Dungeon Soup! I discovered it recently and it’s the greatest shit ever! 🤣

@retoor tested on Safari, works lol. It is the Brave browser indeed! Web dev is such a sad clown fiesta.

@retoor well, at least with that potato I can watch youtube without ads :)

For the vast majority of cases, you don’t need to be worried about performance or memory usage (premature optimization).
Use whatever is the cleanest and less likely to bite you in the ass later.

Avoiding mutable state is a good rule of thumb.

@whimsical wait… there are others?

@whimsical ain't I the nicest person in the world that you have interacted with? 🙃

@whimsical yup, I often hear stories from project managers/scrum masters who wonder why ios devs are always so nice and easy to work with, compared to others.

Why is that hard to believe?
