Programming while blasting the doom eternal soundtrack is something else

jase, is that you?

qt compilation 2: electric boogaloo.

$ ./configure [dozens of options]
< building qmake, blah blah, success blah blah, run make && make install, blah blah >
$ make -j 8
< works for 5 minutes, then hits an error without telling me what the error is >
$ make -j 8
< works for 5 minutes until the same error. this time i notice it rm's a directory right before using it >
$ make # multithreaded fuckery, perhaps?
< fails after 5 seconds with different error >
$ make -j 2
< same >
$ make clean # fuck it, clean up and try again
< fails after 2 minutes of cleaning >

The C/C++ infrastructure. just everything about it. and i'm not even using dependencies here.

compiling Qt... send help

yay! i might even crack the thousand in some months ^^

What is this, windows?? how am i, the software publisher, supposed to change this if you don't bother to give a proper fucking error? whoever created this, i hope you die choking on a goat's intestines

Just found this glorious rant about a controversy I completely missed in 2016.

Centering.

Not usually one to repost memes, but this is just far too relatable.

when you just want to set up a tiny automation and end up compiling a custom snap package for 3 hours...

Uuh... ok, then

i'm afraid that having discovered the power of multithreading has made my code worse.

case in point: me has to calculate an unknown 3rd point of an equilateral triangle many, many times. however, me doesn't get the formula, so me goes ahead and loops over all possible coordinates until it finds the correct one.

yep, it's definitely gotten worse.

to just do my shit, without working for anyone. really, I just want to dwell on my side projects forever.

did i mention scoop is a blessing?

oh and also i'm using powershell now, i guess.

got new glasses today.
c++.

...i'll show myself out.

MOTHERF-

- throw up and decide to rewrite
- start rewrite confidently
- copy code of old project

ranters,
how do you deal with procrastination?

!rant

as someone with frontend-phobia, bootstrap is the holy grail.

Just got my first 2 tor relays running; one with 20MB/s, one with 60MB/s. FeelsGoodMan.

This gem of a game. Partly cause i'm a contributor, partly cause i'm a space junkie.

Is this advertising? maybe.
Am i in love? definitely.

This summer, i will have all the time in the world. I will be finally free (as in, alone at home). And, most importantly, i will have a months old kitten to take care of.

I'm so excited.

just bought (rented) my first dedicated server, for flipping 10€/month. let's see how it goes! boy, am i excited for my new toy...

mfw someone makes completely irrelevant OS-bashing comments in an issue that's barely related to OSs... someone tells him to fuck off... and then he posts a FUCKING PHARELL WILLIAMS VIDEO! ON GITHUB!

i'll go straight back to bed, bye.

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME, WINDOWS?

I finally give in and install your stupid ass update, and what happens? let's just skip the part where i sit around for 30 minutes because apparently it takes 30 fucking minutes to install 300MB - by stallman's underpants, that's 150KB per second!
and when windows FINALLY feels like it has finished fondling it's binary-balls, what is waiting for me?

about 10 stupid-ass data-consent notices straight from satans anus, more weird yes-or-maybe settings for cortana (bill gates' ex or whatever that is) which i don't even USE, my browser speed dial has been complemented by about 7 links to SHOPPING SITES and once i sort that mess out i get a notification that the german language pack has successfully been installed.
SUCK MY FUCKING D*CK MICROSOFT, the ONLY thing i want to do with that language pack is SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS. i can't even uninstall that moronic piece of shit. FUCK YOU.

getting started.

wk108 is truly wholesome. thank you all for making me smile.

Been searching for an offshore data server for at least 5 fucking hours. There's nothing worse than searching for decent low-end offers outside of europe.

does the -- button even get used? like, ever?
