Open letter to any website that is trying to implement "smooth scrolling" on their website using JavaScript: stop, consider how awful it is 100% of the time, and kill yourself please.

To anyone I offended this year:

Work on yourself so I don't gotta do it again in 2025.

Me: Update and shut down, no reboot!
Windows, 30 minutes later, smug as can be: *login screen* 😘

So true

I fucking hate 2FA. I prefer not to be fucked when smth happens to my phone, a bigger chance than become hacked imo

"We need smaller deliverables so that we can validate each iteration with the client! Instead of doing the whole batch, let's try a minimum viable unit of work first!"
And then the cook made a single unit of French fries. Like, a single stick. It took about 10 minutes, or about 95% of the time it would take to fry a whole portion.

To the person that put the washing machine on at 4am, who hurt you? Coz I'm gonna be added to that list.

Anytime I see a reference to Elder Scrolls VI on reddit I do a "RemindMe! 5 years".

I also am predicting it will be absolute shit.

I am at a work seminar and the presenter is talking bullshit about artificial neural nets.

Unfortunately I can't punch him through the webcam. This is frustrating. Why do morons who know nothing about neural nets always insist on talking about them?

Kiki dream log from today
5am

Had a lot of folders with pictures in them in a directory and I'm not kidding, I did 'mv /* .' instead of 'mv ./* .'

Immediately stopped it but a couple hundred files were moved.
Looks like mostly jpgs but also some Python scripts... Not sure why I'm so stupid..

First time I've been happy to see so many permission denied's..

I'd like to clone myself and then have myself punch myself in the face..

Windows: "works, but..."
Linux: "doesn't work, but..."

I wana tell my coworker how fucking sexy she looks and that I want to clap em cheeks. But im afraid it may destroy our friendly relationship.

Man going from Rust to other languages is making me go insane

Why does no other language have a high quality, standard documentation tool!? I just want to know what classes and functions you have 😭

wait, is @-red gone now too?? :o How come my profile score did not suffer a major impact... Wasn't he the one flooding us with ++s back in the day?

Reddit is such an echo chamber it's crazy

Shampoo for women:
- heavenly papaya
- nourishing silk
- calming melt-in banana

Shampoo for men:
- badass molten lead storm
- dragon fire tsunami
- velociraptor fuckfest

WinAPI.

Boi does it feel good to just take a weekend off and not to worry about anything, not to think about anything,... Just be and go do whatever your body tells to.

Feels like charging w/ a dedicated 120W charger, compared to a shared 10W one

Git Blame before git was invented:

I'm not flexing but I still have the ability to downvote posts/comments.

What is it about long winded articles for a two second one click solution?

A quick search to find out how to change the control panel to classic view in windows 7. (because I forgot and the windows Operating system is no longer intuitive and Dev-friendly).

Search engine: (Insert hundreds of articles here!)

Solution: Click on large Icons where it says "View by".

Search engine: (Enjoy sifting through this pile of results written by thousands of gas-bags, you looser!).

Rocking back 'n forward sitting in the corner of the room holding my legs against my chest: "Shut up, I forgot okay!"

Why would it not just Say "Classic view"?

Angular is not fun to work with. The amount of jumping between files to do a thing is tiring. And its documentation fucking sucks.

I guess I'm just used to single file components and Laravel's amazing docs...

He is right you know 😏

Spent 3 hours not understanding why the exact same procedure on Linux worked while not in windows. Ended up installing Linux on the windows computer.

Staring at computer trying to figure out why I can't read a float from modbus. I swapped the bytes correctly for my platform. I also ensured the endianess of the words matched my platform (byte endianess is not the sames as word endianess, fml). Was driving home thinking about what could be wrong. My mind saw this code:

uint32_t newint;
for(int count=0; count<2; count++){
newint |= words[count] << count;
}

Then I am fuck! It should be:
newint |= words[count] << (count*16);

This was later turned into float. I kept getting values in the 1e-40 or some shit. Now it makes sense. The upper word was not set.

This is such newb shit. Fuck you newb shit I should just know!

Reading more I realized that the endianess of words can vary between devices even though the spec calls for big endian words. Fuck you non-compliant vendors! So I gotta add a flag for fucked up devices. Fine. The pay off is a generic way to add modbus to our opcua server. I want this easily editable in the field. For now it is readonly. So that makes it nicer.

Just a little torqued that I solved this driving home instead of at work. Too close to the code. I think tomorrow I will have my boss review it to tell me of other logical crap I missed.

don't hack hungry, guys

Objectively, I know I should leave.

The company hasn't been doing well. At all.
Projects are a shit show.
Despite everything everyone is kind and respectful, though.
My team's great and boss is good.
Pay is okay, too.
As the lead dev I am appreciated for my work and knowledge.
But the company itself seems unable to learn despite the coworkers being young.
My team doesn't have any work now because the customer canceled the project.
There have already been layoffs. 40% of people gone.
Other companies also pay well.
But damn my team is amazing.
Although I am the most experienced developer. But I know I am not THAT experienced, really. i am still young and would love to work with someone MORE experienced.

Maybe i am just lazy. Then I will likely soon be lazy and unemployed.
Oh no....

If someone still uses the word "surfing" in relation to the internet, what would you infer about them?
