I just LOVE working with GraphQL now

Last time I was so in love with a techno, it was introduction of LinQ in net

Me : So cool ! My new graphQL APIs are working so good !
Also me : ‘order by <text field> take 50 skip 10000’
Me : Hmmmm.. 2.3 SEDCONDS ?! WTF. Let’s add an index !
SQL : Sorry bro, can’t add index on nvrachar(max).
Me: OK. Here you go, you are nvrachar(128) now. Add my index !
SQL : Ok
GraphQl :<same query > Here : 90 milliseconds
Me : ‘order by <text field> desc take 50 skip 10000’
GraphQL : Sorry bro : 3 seconds. (Yes, slower than without any index)
Me : Do I fu7cking need to manually add ASC and DESC indexes ? WTF IS GOING ON !
I should’ve learnt a bit more about databases. ☹. And now I don’t have time to refactor a prod database as “needed” .
/me needs to buy DB audit. Company is still a bit small to have a DBA full time.

All new frameworks / patterns / code concepts seem great !! Until you take a minute to imagine your current application using them and the time needed to implement.

That's it. That's the rant. /me wants to buy code migrator / generator from "A" to "B"

FINALLY.

In 6 month ready to challange C and C++ on performance vs time.

Sooo. That starts to be a bit annoying:

I'm working on a large refactoring with a pretty good inheritance / generic system. And some code generators.

Rghjt now I'm doing a script which generate code files, which will generate code-gen templates which will generate final files.

It's funny and it's a one shot generation, but still. So much abstraction.

(End result is good tho. Everything in small files less than 15 lignes of code. Everything structured.)

Yes I did.... :(

I think I'm still under NDA.

But I wanted to share, that shit after 6 months figured out that the ONLY time I can breath is weekend.

And I'm telling this in a GOOD sens. It's one of the reports I get 1-2 times a week, but this one struck too much close to reality ':)

Worst week ever.

Servers are on fire. Respoinse times out of control

Some SIMPLE SQL queries (literaly select * from whatever where Id = id) timouts at 30 seconds.

No idea what's goining on (And I have full logs of all api calls and all DB queries). No way to find how to corelate this data.

Ok, I added 1000$/month on Azure and the problem is "masked", but not resolved.

I have dumps, I have logs I have everything, why the fuck I can't find the 1 or 2 APIs causing that ?!!!

Now I feel better.

Am I crazy ?

Right now we have an API which returns a full planning for a week for 300 employees with indicators (Like "late", "may be postponed" etc) in 4 seconds.

I have a pressure, people telling me it's not fast enough.

I honestly think it is fast.

In order of data it'a around 100 MB of JSON. AND you can do actions on the whole set if needed.

Long story short, I think 4 seconds to get all that data is pretty great. Customers think they should have it instantly.

(Never mind the whole filtering system at thier disposal, they literall only lod the full set and then MANUALLY scroll (Yes there is a quick search box)).

What can I do more ????? cache that ? I can. But they also expect that any changed value is reflected.

And we fucking do it. While you are on the page there is a SignalR conenxion created and notified when any of data is changed and updates it on front. Takes around 500 ms.

Apprently "too slow".

I honestly don't see what we can do more with our small 4 dev team.

Give me 56 developpers I can do something, but right now I'm proud of result.

OMG. Talking about NTFS in this rant :

https://devrant.com/rants/4449565/...

Made me think. Does the lastest version of Terminal on Windows supports that ? Does last cmd ?

LOL !!! the BEST terminal Microsoft ever made... Does not suport alternate streams in this test. (may be it's other syntax, no iea).

But cmd still does. The old cmd I never used since this terminal app was released.

I find it super funny.

I'm doing it !

I WILL run current PROD projects in a preview 1. (Well, at least I will try).

Wish me luck !

Nooooo . I'm not using 100% Microsoft at all.

But... task manager : You are sure ?

What the fuck is going on ???

How the "intermediate" c# developers can't do a simple null safe average of even numbers in an array ?!

Why they still write loops and shit (without any nul checks ofc) while it can be done in 1 line :

array?.Where(x => x % 2 == 0).DefaultIfEmpty(0).Average() ?? 0

WHY ? Even Junior c# dev is supposed to know that shit

I just told to Canada general census to put me as "Apache helicopter". On official papiers and shit !

I expect to be called in a couple of days lol, but seemed to fun to pass on this oportunity.

So if they DON'T call me back, next year in official census you'll see at least one apache helicopter lol

I need to put that cat ON the table. Because in reality this cat is actuallt on the table !

Wanted for once use FireFox for dev / tooling.

Welp, it only took 1 page load to see why devs don't use it :

There is NO information on how long an ajax request took.

A lot of useless stuf like "Destination IP" (Who the fuck cares?) or "Initiator" (I already know where it started, I want to iknow how long it took).

That concludes my try to work with a non chromium browser and i'm sad. because chromium is a new IE6.

Don't belive me ? Look how websites manages checkboxes. Yes that's right with ::before and ::after.

These pseudo elements SHOULD NOT work in <input>. But they do in chromium. Which basicly a deal break to use firefox for our users.

Fuck you chromium. IE6 bis i'm gonna call you now

And FireFox : Please, just COPY dev tools of chromium, yours are unusable.

Ok, I feel better, going back to my bug.

Ok. that made a full circle.

I needed for ONCE to manually do git things.

(There is a plugin in V which wil lrecompile SCSS to CSS if CSS file is deleted, I want to comit delete).

WHY DO I HAVE VIM ON MY WINDOWS ????

And most importantly, how do I exit it ?

Wish me luck.

Deploying Blazor app for the first time in prod in about a month.

Did tests. Curent infrastructure can hold around 70 concurent sessions with no problems. (probably more, 70 was the limit in my browser).

I tested each sessiuon with 70.000 line table. (Yep whole 70.000 lines for each session with a virtual scroll).

Shit is fast. Too fast even. I'm waiting for other shoe to drop, but so far in simulated tests it's amazing.

Let's talk in 2 month AFTER prod deploy.

Thanks to another post, discovered this chanel.

it resumes why I don't like javaScript so much

Way to go Hitachi !! My almost oldest hard drive.

65644 hours "on". Still working lol.

Hiring junior devs is a game of Russian roulette.

You can get some one who is smart and loves coding. In this case stack, limitations etc don’t matter and experience will be great for junior and the rest of the team

Or it will be a lazy person who watched 5 videos and think to be better than everyone else. 95% of juniors are these fuckers. Takes about 1 week to find out and fire… which starts the 3 months recruiting loop again.

I think my service decided to die.

Welp, it's not a critical one.

nobody :
Literally nobody :
Microsoft : Great news ! We added integrated blockchain in Azure SQL !

How about fixing :
performance issues
Stability issues
Reservations issues
Pricing
vCore counting

I have not slept in 28 hours.

I discovered Quantum computing, pubo and simulators.

I FEEL it can solve my business problem, but it is fucking time consuming to write this code. (In a good way).

I do not need sleep at this point, I need answers!

Anyone with good links to either pubo examples or a useful quantum algorithm, I’ll take it ! (not the random number… I have already run that on a real QPU 9Still no idea how much that run cost in $)!)

As some of you (I'm certain), I have a plex server at home. Hosted with an "old" core i5-4670K, 16GB ram, no GPU. (Ubuntu 20).

My question. HOW, HOW THE FUCK :

I can play HDR and DV videos via plex TV app.
I can play HDR via my S10 fucking phone !
I cannot play nor HDR nor DV since last update on Xbox X... It's the ONLY use I have for that console. If my TV can do better, wtf I'm supposed to do with that console ? (Any way to put plex server on it ?)

My friend can play my 4k HDR video on apple TV via remote connexion..

What's wrong with Xbox X ?

RHAAAAA.

Also, FU all ripers using PGS format for subtitles without SRT option.

Also FU sony for not allowing TrueHD via ARC. (AT least on my A/V reciver)

Also fuck me for buying xbox.

Also fuck the worl just because.

Ok, I feel better. Thanks you all.

JetBrains should be renamed in “Shit for brains”.

Actually no. Even the dump I take in the morning has more intelligence than ANY product of that “company”.

What a fucking waste of time…

What did we buy ?
Ryzen 9 and Radeon 6800 XT
What are we playing ?
Open TDD and factorio.

Yep, Can confirm, no lags.

If you don't use https://placekitten.com/ for your placeholders I don't want to work with you.

Out out new guide lines for pull requests.

Reviewing around 10 PR today. All respect them

Overload is pleased. ;O

We have an API which returns 600 MB of JSON.

Because client "Wants to see everything first and then apply filters, just like Excel".

Edit and ofc thier laptops with core i3 and 4GB of ram can't even process that.
