Tits or butt?

"It's just a button! Why's it taking so long to build it?"

BIOS/UEFI written in Electron.

I hate what AI has done to developers, man.

I was discussing something a couple of days ago while my colleague was sharing his screen. He (Android/Flutter developer asked for my help for something custom in the iOS build) And while we were discussing it, he went to ChatGPT.

He wrote a bad prompt using wrong terms (for example how tabbar in ios is a different thing than android), i told him he was wrong and what the solution is, he didn't listen and went to try out what the AI said, made a bunch of errors, the proceeded to copy the errors to chatgpt wasting so much time.

AI to some developers is like tiktok to kids.

turns out Canada drinks arabica coffee

I tried this instant robusta coffee mix and it made me so calm and felt like a religious experience. love this coffee and it does seem to be different from all the other coffee I've been buying to try to find something else that feels like this

well turns out the grocery store discontinued selling this specific coffee... so I can't even get more. and everything else they sell is exclusively arabica

AI says robusta has more caffeine and chlorogenic acid but I think it's something else in this robusta coffee. even if I drink more arabica it's not the same feeling. how mysterious

something else interesting is all arabica makes me pee a lot and dehydrate, but the robusta has no such effect. so mysterious

— What is this malleable metal that is awfully convenient to make all sorts of things from?
— It’s lead. It is considered harmful by some.
— Nah, I don’t think so.

readable just means "write it in the way I typically write / understand it in"

which makes it a confusing moving target of whatever the local consensus is... and I don't think these people are self-aware of this fact then just get mad at others for not "getting it" automatically, bah

In 2025, only at Apple can you spend $3,268 on a smartphone + laptop combo and get a laptop with 16 GB of ram and a phone with USB 2.0.

The difference between me and you is that I won’t forgive her even if she chopped off her finger and brought it to me. Have you ever cried without sobbing? I just laid there, every muscle of my face stiffened, breathing through my mouth because my nose called it quits, tears pouring down, being absorbed by my pillow. Dear daughter, her avatar said, we love you the you are, and we accept you. I feel sorry for every time that I have wronged and victimized you. Even calling me daughter and not son, I mean how hard it could’ve been?

The issue was, she didn’t remember any details, while I remembered everything. I do relive all of that several times a day, month after month, year after year.

I went for a walk, and for the first time, I liked how my shadow looked. I’m getting slimmer. Yet, I don’t feel better inside.

The good thing is that it won’t matter.

To all female devRanters out there, have a happy Women's Day.

Sincerely, from UTC+01:00.

These Wounds, They Will Not Heal.

— There is a bug in prod!
— Omg, why aren't you fixing it yet?
— No, I'm just raising awareness!

Day 30 of starving myself to death challenge. Fasting today. Fuck everyone and everything.

Behold, dev-related two sentence horror.

“I died, and all I can see and feel is this terminal.”
“'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

I want to open a private rehab where I would delete your social media accounts, take your phone/laptop/internet access away, get you treated by a psychiatrist, make you take your pills on time every time, make you work, then spend your free time on quality things like reading books or making art, or exercising, or just sleeping, and when you disobey and say this and that — I'll beat you with a fucking whip. Oh, and you'll have a normal balanced diet with no junk food, sugar or sweeteners.
I swear to god that 90% of people's problems are solved by therapy followed by cattle prodding.

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand

i done got caught some virus. I'm sick

what if you never die

what if you're constantly, with every conscious decision, on a choose your own adventure ride

what would you choose 👀

It's hard to at all times view yourself from both your own eyes and the eyes of those who oppress you, trying to measure yourself by their tape as they spit in your face.
English is not my language, and the West is not my civilization. Even if I finally get to live in Europe, I will never belong there because of my roots. The place where those roots grow from first imbued me with the sense of being subhuman to the western guys, and then exiled me altogether because of who I am.
I never felt home anywhere. I wasn't home at home because of my so-called parents, now I'm not home because I live in a limbo where I did leave Russia but didn't reach my destination yet, and I know full well I'm not going to feel home when I'm in Europe. If I ever get there that is.

I don’t fucking deserve to live. I’m but a lump of emotional scars. My brain instantly forgets the good, but relives the bad every single day, every hour, all traumas in parallel. I remember every moment and every detail of every traumatic event that happened to me.

Kiki’s body is a prison where Kiki’s uncontrollable brain tortures Kiki.
My body keeps twitching. PTSD flashbacks are unbearable.

I don’t see any reason for this abomination to exist. There is nothing to salvage.

I did everything in my power to regain control and stop the suffering: fitness routine, seven years of treatment with all kinds of psychiatrists, pills, sleeping routine, true love, cutting ties with toxic people… it didn’t help

Nothing ever helped me. I never stood a chance.

people fight over credit for progress instead of doing the progress

Be stubborn. Never give users what they want. Ship some shiny feature that attracts new users, then immediately move on to the next shiny feature. Never address criticism.

Users don't know what they want. If you managed to attract them all with your skill set, you know better than all of them.

Day 14 of starving myself to death challenge. For the first time, I feel worse.

How the fuck is that a thing.

I understand when you're application requires a lock file. But put it in temp. I get it, you want it user specific. You can put it still in temp. Just add the user to the lockfile's name.

Don't put it in the config. Yea, had to reboot without letting my applications close properly. After a reboot, a lockfile should be automatically removed.

Here's an idea, if you're really that terrified of leaking the information, that the application is in use, to other users of the computer, which could probably just look at the processes to figure that one out, check the lock file's last modified timestamp and compare it with the uptime.

Because, it is just annoying when I reboot the computer and I cannot start the application because the fucking lockfile is still there.

Looking at you, datagrip. I really need to find a good open source alternative for my databases.

Never trust code that describes itself as "rigorously tested".

At my new job I'm allowed to goof around more while at the same time less. Im no longer limited to tech and can just choose the best tool for the job and fuck around trying out new interesting stuff that might work. But at the same time IF I FUCK UP, you will definetly read about it in the news!

Turns out we have a Grinch. Someone just stole all my decorations in the communal staircase.

This really fucked my mood

z-index you set minus z-index that was necessary is the number of whips you should receive. Whips with barbed wire that is.
