The only reasons I'm with my current employer is because;
1. I interview bad
2. Too lazy to update my CV

One of these days...

We had a teambuilding last Friday. We went indoor karting and it was a lot of fun. My project manager does not have a driving license and it did show.

The karts have a boost button (electric karts) and my project manager used it before a turn and then slammed into wall. Now he got a few bruised ribs haha

Also, it's still funny to me that I was part of the teambuilding during my resignation but i'm not gonna complain about that. :D

AI tokens are just microtransactions for programmers

an economy where jobs hide their salaries is confusing

you want people with skills but you refuse to signal how much you want people with those skills

if you actually are clear and honest about how much you want those skills, people would learn those skills to sell them to you...

but instead they would rather play poker and tell you they don't want the skills... while complaining to someone else (government, universities, whatever) behind citizen's backs about how lazy the average citizen is for not having the skills -- yet they refuse to disclose how much they want said skills to make said skills a target for the citizen to want to achieve to receive the incentive of the moneys that citizens require for living

PSYCHIATRY IS WRONG. IT'S A POLITICAL TOOL TO REMOVE DISSIDENCE AND PUNISH OUT OF NORMS BEHAVIOR, EXPLOIT PEOPLE AND EXTRACT WEALTH FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM BY SELLING THEM PILLS.

WE SHOULD KILL THE PSYCHOLOGISTS.

Our metro system spend as much in salary and infrastructure designed to make sure you pay tickets than the money from the actual ticket sales.

So basically you're paying tickets to have bareers and controllers. And then you pay taxes to run trains.

It's fucking racket.

Worst part of looking for a job is that I don't actually want one

AI can take my job. I can't do this anymore.

Best of luck waking up 7 A.M on Mondays, logging in to work and telling in those 10 am scrum meetings “I’m still wOrking on the sAme tiCket as last friDay.”

Enjoy my job graybot.

I’m gonna go outside and remember what sunlight looks like. Maybe touch grass. Maybe grow crops. Maybe herd some cows. Idk. Might start a farm or might scream into the wind.

Fuck, my company is doing an all-hands meeting / Division townhall... AND EVERY DEPARTMENT HEAD IS DOING SOME STUPID D-DAY REFERENCE.
Cringe.

Tired of everything.

Yes, I'd like to apply for your Macy's Cyber Security department please?

A major side effect of introducing me to your codebase is refactoring and overhaul. A cardinal philosophy of mine is code reuse. In all my years inheriting codebases, I've never encountered one where the predecessor grasps the concept of abstraction. Tradeoff is it takes me longer to start implementing new functionality

I accepted a nice offer by my current company.

Boss invited us to a nice dinner today for some planning and whatnot.

Was quite nice actually.

Definitely looking forward to the future atm...

I've started messing with C++ again, and it's kinda fun :)

I'm a fan of modular systems, so I've decided to build a little proof of concept for plugin loading.

A plugin is basically just a shared library which exposes a class that extends the Plugin abstract class and implements some lifecycle methods.

Then a plugin file has a system specific PLUGIN_EXPORT create_plugin()... function that just returns an instance of the plugin.

I've decided to use a super simple event bus for communicating from the host system to the plugin and vice versa, it's supplied in a PluginContext class which is supplied to the plugin upon initialisation.

Loading the plugins is done via LoadLibraryA(...) or dlopen(...).

Of course I'm freeing/closing them again at the end of the host system lifecycle. I hope to eventually implement some form of HMR.

Idunno why I'm sharing this; The system has zero purpose other than learning, but I've figured that implementing plugins in a "lower" level language, rather than typescript with node is more fun :)

I gotta say, it's really fucking annoying I always need to write a SHIT TON O BOILER PLATE for any lua code

If you take

major second, minor third, augmented fourth, fifth, major sixth and minor 7, you get a maqam from 16th century iraq sufism.

I discovered it by accident by trying a raga (can't remember the name, the same but with a major seventh) but adding the tail of a dorian mode bur the upper part of the scale

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Monster hunter wilds here we go!

See you next month xd

Being asked to do a passthrough shader for an adult content media player.

Them selling it as it being like the fucking newest invention.

Bitches. I was doing that back in 2018.

Still, good money for literally 60 minutes work...

Bought a brand new Asus Laptop for my studies, because according to my asshat teacher "nobody is using a MacBook these days"...

After 2 minutes I wanted to punch a hole through the screen and my teacher's face.

Everything I fucking opened stopped responding

I hate windows

Everybody atheist till it’s time to upgrade bios

Seems there is a blackout in the entire country. This is fine!

If we have to explicitly tell the AI to "not hallucinate", does that mean AI models usually work with the assumption that they "can hallucinate"?

Tbh, ostream is a nice guy. Once you get over his

- Racism towards Germans
- Racism towards Jews
- Closeted racism towards anyone, really
- Psychotic episodes of rage
- Borderline criminal tendencies
- Bipolar disorder

It's actually fun to talk to him. You have to invest time and patience though.

Love you ostream bro.

Opinions or resources on how to do good abstractions, encapsulation and separation of concerns

I think video comments are probably going to go into vogue at some point

commentator content is just someone watching stuff and then making videos of their replies to it. it's really weird but it does pretty well even though the commentator isn't even anyone special

but if there was a service where you could just reply with videos... would feel more human and become less isolating and more natural compared to current internet

probably next evolution of the internet and these media platforms

Unless in severe pain, the cat will always enjoy this eternal moment, proud of its existence. Never questioning its needs, desires, likes or dislikes, a cat will never consider evaluating itself. The cat glories in its existence and lives with supreme self esteem. It so values itself that it will never assign a value to itself.

The cat has risen entirely above the need for self esteem through perfect self acceptance beyond the need for self esteem.

Our job is safe, guys. :-)

I am trying to check the popularity of the "PDF" religion myself after seeing similar post on IG recently.

If any of you play counterstrike or have friends that play counterstrike, watch out for a scam where a friend might ask you to vote for their logo/team on some bs "varsity clash whatever" site.

The thing pops up a fake steam login window and tries to phish you as far as I can tell. It's even styled as a Window window (which is fun when you're on linux like me)

I made a throw away account just to test it and I got some fun logins from Russia, though I revoked the access fast enough so that I retained control.

as far as I can tell the site only exists for a couple of days according to WHOIS and all the steam login assets are hosted on some unrelated non valve server...

This PSA is not really for the more skilled and careful people here, but I thought I'd stick it here for the possibly lurkers and less experienced users just in case.
