It is to painfully hard to support Russia, it's like ur betting on a retard to solve 3rd-year college maths.
I had a non-critical deployment to make n i thought, might as well use Yandex Cloud to help their war effort by 0.000..001%

Mid-way I had to get some OTP on my phone, I never got it, went through 2 layers of support and THEY HAD BLOCKED SMS ON MY ACC FOR THE 2ND TIME IN 1 YEAR.

N mind you, this isnt some new acc, I've had this active Yandex account+number for over a DECADE so not like it was some anti-spam or anti-dormant automation.

I finally understand the hatred Germans had for Slavs. It's like "how dare you be so retarded n assume you're equal to us".
Though they come out on top thanks to random sparks of genius, but the avg Russian corporate needs better management. Get your shit together ffs.

IS THERE ANY GODDAMN LOGIC IN RUSSIAN ALPHABETS OMFG I HATE EM.
a pain in the ass to learn :v

I had to make a reverse-geocode Service in C#.
I made a new empty .cs file, copy-pasted the API OpenStreetMaps endpoint as a comment for reference

Pressed enter.

n BAM. Copilot (in Visual Studio) autosuggests the ENTIRETY of the class with accurate JSON-POCO conversion ._.
I dislike AI but can't deny its usefulness in this kinda manual work. I'd take this over some low-tier junior dev anyday

Did anyone here work with WebAssembly? .-. Like for real-life scenarios and not just a hobby
I thought it'd be a bigger deal by now specially for SPAs and corporate web-based dashboards

but i havent seen much of it irl

If you make a tech-related query in Yandex, its pagination is 0-based & bonus I++ 🤓

yesterday my phone upgraded from Android 14 to 15
soooo, nothing's new?

there's some "auto transcript" for media or something
Like I'd love to see you try transcribing my "hidden camera POV JAV" bruh

Did anyone here use .NET AOT/Native?
since it isnt CLR/VM dependent, theoretically it should be more performant, even if with a few limitations

my "Even if 5% perf increase, it's worth a code-refactor" senses are tingling 💀 someone give me a push to take the plunge

what ancient artefact did I stumble across 💀
Last update is a "development on version 0.95 has started!" dated 2012

Visual Studio in the recent releases got some updates where it "accelerates build time" by caching DLLs or something
Good in theory? sure.
In practice? So very often, a "hot reload" now doesn't trigger a DLL swap. VS says that changes have been updated but you see stale code and you've to turn off the program and re-run it

I'm sure there's a way to turn this acceleration off and will do that after this rant, but I don't get how such retarded features get green-lit and make it to production :v

I understand that for biiiig solutions with minutes of build-time, this would be god-sent, but if it's this unreliable in my 8-Project Solution, I wonder how unreliable it'd be in bigger Solutions

at least turn it off by default if you know it's shit ffs.

As much as I dislike google, it's so much more pro-active compared to Bing and Yandex :v

google already indexed my pages n removed the ones per updated robots.txt

Bing doesnt know I exist even though crawlled in webmaster, and Yandex still shows the Novemver version of pages in their results

1. Leave big company of 1.5y for new job in different country
2. New company tries getting me a visa for 2 months and fails
3. Puts bogus blame on me and ends contract 2 weeks before my "temporary visa" expires coz their incompetent HR couldn't get the documents right.

Fuckers didn't have ONE COMPLAINT against me so UNASSIGNED me from COMPLETED Jira tickets to ruin my OKR stats just to build grounds for this (since last week)

And when I protested, blamed some automation but DIDNT change the spreadsheet. (should've rung some bells for me, but naïve me believed their reasoning)

Big company meeting last week. Engineering Lead put a slide just about me coz my fixes brought a 20-FUCKIN-X performance improvement.
He said "oh I put a slide about [me], I dont see it", HR who was in-charge of compiling the slides said "Oh you sent the slide too late so we didnt put it".

I shrugged it back then thinking oh well but in hind-sight Fuckers went OUT OF THEIR WAY to bury anything I did to build grounds for termination coz THEY couldn't get the visa.

kill me.

If we finish the sprint early we should be able to take rest of the days off :v

or at half days ffs

So the guy across me at work goes KLATIKY KLAK in the keyboard n i always wondered why

coz we're mid/senior devs, there isnt that much to type usually

saw his screen a bit ago n the nigga typing/copying code from ChatGPT 😩

Happy Diwali people 😤

Ive to work on my should've-been-a-day-off coz big meeting so y'all better celebrate in my stead 😤😤😤

In the saga of the unnamed SAAS I've talked about before, LOOK AT THEM USER-SESSIONS XD
And this is only from Android-App embeds since web-embed isnt even open to public yet, so no google-crawller false-positives

The country I'm in, has only 8 sessions waayyyy down below so my code isn't messing up the numbers :3

I'm still too much of a bitch to face this product head-on and "launch" it damn this feels good 😤🤘

New internet 🥵 Imma stream 8K 3D porn now

A TypeScript boolean/undefined Flag variable kept fucking up
true == true didnt hold true

checked the "typeof" in console and it's GOODDAMN STRING.
What's the point of TypeScript's "type safety" if a Boolean variable is holding a String type for whatever reason. URGHH I HATE JAVASCRIPT.

So given how easy and flexible UI-making is with JS frameworks for Native Apps in Android etc, how long is it before they sideline Native SDKs in favour of WebAssembly-based native 'apps' the way UWP/WinUI is on its deathbed?

it's sad but i honestly envy the ease of native webapps, specially rn while making a Java Android SDK

A new subsea internet cable between the country I'm in and where my server is, went live a few weeks ago

The rsync from local PC -> remote server went up from avg 500kb/s to 4mb/s

the subsea cable website says they're aiming Nov/Dec launch so it's probably in semi-live stage rn but still cool 🫡

VK has the weirdest client side errors 💀

I made a SMALLLL change in a .NET middleware that handles WebSockets (in the self-made SAAS I previously talked about) and it somehow fucked up n stopped closing connections even for people who left

On the bright side, I didn't notice any performance reduction in the service so the scalability was unintentionally stress-tested lol
Now to figure out how it fucked up

I made a Product in my free time (after work hours)

it's a SAAS thats supposed to be an add-on to apps and websites

Added it to my own apps (what better than Test in prod) and over months fixed its pitfalls n ngl, even im impressed by its core tech and resilience

But thats kinda it -.- Ik I should make a landing page and launch it etc but I lost the will the day the "core tech" was 99% perfected
Im a Product guy not a businessman T__T

It's the weirdest mental block ive had in a while ffs.

For someone not deep-into-security, can someone tell me why "encrypted"/"non-compromised" communication is hard?

Wouldn't a private server that holds conversation in-memory (imagine Dictionary holding U2U GUID-GUID list of 'msg' objs) suffice?
Incoming IP info is disregarded and nothing gets written on-disk ever

Need to erase everything? just reboot the server, it's all in memory anyway

To avoid man-in-the-middle, pre-handshake check cert integrity by exposing the certificate-fingerprint by another endpoint, if the fingerprints match, proceed to switch to websocket
Wouldn't this be wayyyy more secure for actual anti-establishment talks than all the fancy probably-backdoored software that exists today? .-.

Hell it's easy enough that someone could make it go live in a few days, keep it up accessible if you know the IP and port to communicate and close-and-delete when done

So I thought of applying for masters, mainly coz work's been boring af -_- i'm not having Fun. like. at all.

Masters in CS would need a research topic and the one I was/am interested in is "WebRTC", with the topic being tryyyying to figure out a way to hide the actual Peer IPs and come up with a Standard 2.0 of WebRTC or a derivative standard

I was looking into Research Papers already written on WebRTC to get a feel on what's already been attempted or tried
And omfg the word-vomit :v

The whole paper had 0 substance and their "research" was that "we'll encrypt Packets with SHA256 so it'll be secure" like bruh -_-

Did anyone here ever use Alibaba Cloud? How reliable is it? .-.

I was divided between Yandex Cloud and Alibaba Cloud but Yandex doesnt support payment from my side of the world -_- so Alibaba is the last resort :v

if it's super bad though then I might as well buy another server-rack in a DC but imma keep that as the "worst case scenario"

Does anyone else here have coding-fatigue?
Like if someone gives me a problem (BIG or small), I can chalk out an architecture or "oh you can use this-n-this-n-this"

But if you ask me to code it, though it's easy as fuck, I dont want to and will drag it until I gush 2 coffees to force myself to do it.
You give me a junior dev who knows NOTHING and does the typing and I can guide him and make him do it all, but by myself? nah

PS: this only applies to work-code that isnt "fun" per-se. My own projects? no issues at all

My dumbass fucked up a good interview by looking down on the company I was interviewing for unintentionally (:
They outsourced the "core" finance code to a 3rd party B2B provider and I was like "oooooooooh so y'all are only a wrapper? That explains why you didnt do super-crazy background check on me hahaha"

I ended up sounding suspicious af :'v

work-vibing 💪😤 https://youtube.com/watch/...

I was all hyped up coz I WHINED AND BITCHED FOR MONTHS against a 5-6y old B2B company offering, that it's shit n needs to be remade

And they agreed, n only 2 people assigned to it yet, the last chief architect and me

But last guy is old n is the one who made it shit in the first place (we use Windows Tasks in a Windows Server, triggering once every minute to pretend background tasks)

n he doesnt even want 2 branches (: And is still making the same mistakes that made the last implementation shit n it's hard to stop him coz he senior and old

And now I kinda dont care, but have to coz job market's shit
Ffs

Visual Studio's intellisence recommending me NOT to use

ISomeService = new Service() and just Service coz the latter is faster (these are non-DI services)

is giving me a wierd anxiety. I'd prefer to stick to exposing Interfaces just as a convention but the constant💡is killing me :v
//I know the actual performance difference is neglible, but retarded mind still focuses on it even if I dont want it to
