AboutI like making things, adding features, fixing things. I've got too many things on the go at once for repetitive, so I'll automate instead.

The first week of every month is when I run out of ADHD meds and for a few days my brain falls apart and I can't do anything. Finally got them so I can think and do again. We're all just chemical computers, put the right software in and good things happen.

Goog actually got hacked. Not particularly sensitive data by the sound of it (publicly available business info). But wow. https://forbes.com/sites/...3

Yup, no longer on the store. Shutdown in progress I guess. Time to backup all the memories and work on the replacement. It's been fun y'all 🫶1

Sid, I stopped reading after you started talking about my childhood. Do you know what projecting is? Maybe go to therapy. Sounds like you want to talk about your childhood.

I actually like the new devRant update. Now just one big chat room. Like the MSN of old. But also I'm still considered a paid user so I can post more frequently, bitches!

Sudden urge to design my own programming language. Specifically built for concurrency. I really like the async/promise style stuff but I always think it's a pain to put together. Why not make the "putting it together" bit the languages job.15

Suing AI firms for piracy is right up there with charging mobsters for tax evasion, but that's the world we've come to.1

First time I've spent £500 using Google Pay. Tiny bit disconcerting how easy it is. Must remember it's real money.18

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.
We're the problem.3 -
I feel like the social good of tech never really came to fruition. Like my local store can probably tell I have poorly managed ADHD from my irregular shopping schedule and caffeine/sugar addiction but all they use this info for is to try to sell me more salty peanuts.
The peanuts are tasty tho ngl3 -
I hate to say it, I think Macs are going to beat windows. (update: or maybe Windows is just going to fade and the market will be split?)
Not better hardware, or value, or experience. Windows is just getting more and more ads.
I was thinking, gee I want something like Linux, but well supported hardware.
That's a Mac. Shit.16 -
Anything with the phrase "Here are some examples:" on its own line reeks of AI. And bolded paragraph starts.
No further comments.2 -
Trying to do math. It's been 15 years since I've done something this hard. Dusting out the cobwebs.
Bursts of inspiration then the next day fumbling like a moron that can't count all of my own fingers.2 -
It's nice when devs are
happy you find bugs in their code, like I don't want to bother them with issues so saying thanks is positive2 -
My new favourite consensus algorithm:
Get several devs to implement the same standard. Compare the results for lots of different test data. The consensus "correct" result is the one that is most common from all Implementations. Where consensus can't be found, the devs are shown each others code and it's a race to find bugs to invalidate an implementation that disagrees with yours. Implementations that don't follow "correct" behaviour must be updated accordingly, even if it means copying bugs from other code.
The insane thing is this is legit how it works, like python's typing standard is based on mypy and other type checkers have to match its behaviour. Unicode isn't really a standard, it just started to describe how text works in different places instead of the fights to the death battle royale we used before that.7
