Lensflare! WTF did you do?!

I know some of Germany has been regressing, but this is terrible!

LOL

intellij no longer recognizes java imports, but the non-java imports are still recognized

i didnt do anything, fml

at least invalidate caches seems to have fixed?

Ah yes. ubiquitous-octo-engine. Short and memorable.

Writing concurrent code is hard, but testing it, is something else. I'm almost sure my implementation is flawed, but I can't get the tests to fail!

You know, I'm getting tired of this HR-speak in job applications, specifically this:

- [tech] has no secrets for you

What, really? So I am the undisputed and absolute expert of - let's say - JavaScript? Do you know how long it takes to master that so that it holds no secrets? It even holds secrets to decade-long experts! The same goes for most other technologies in software development.

Sigh. Hhhhh. Ree.

I'm in the process of suing my employer and I've mentally checked out of my job.

Funny enough, threatening the assholes that threatened to fire me if I didn't come into the office "for the benefit of my mental health" has significantly improved my mental health.

It's hilarious how employers disguise the concept of 'big pile of horseshit and stress' as 'challenge'/'opportunity'.

Give. Me. A. Break.

I had a booth at a small event to represent my business. I had prepared a web-based game for people to play to win a prize. I had it running on a PC mirrored on a TV so I could do my work on my Mac separately between visitors.

During a speaker’s presentation, someone bored with it came up to my booth and I introduced her to the game. She started playing it but the sound was up too loud and drew attention to her. I quickly used volume key on the top row, but nothing happened. So I thought the fn key needed to be pressed and held to change the volume. Nope. Then I thought I’ll just use the volume control in the dock. But the browser was full screen, and when I tried to quickly change that, some other unknown thing happened and some other stupid MS configuration screen filled the screen. She gave up trying to play at that point and I felt super stupid.

When did it become so hard to use Windows machines and software? I’ve been on a Mac for about 8 years now and using this Windows laptop just feels ridiculous to me. Like some broken toy that came from a bargain bin at a dollar store. The whole thing feels cheap and like it’ll break in half if I twist it accidentally. Other Windows laptops I look at in the stores occasionally just don’t measure up in build quality. Like the companies know you’ll get max 2 years useful life and throw it away.

In the middle of dumbing down my smartphone. This whole ecosystem thing got out of control privacy-wise. Thus, I’m deleting pretty much everything but the browser and the chat app my friends and I use. No photos sync, no cloud, no passwords sync, no sync period. If you seize or otherwise compromise my phone, you ain’t getting very far into my defenses.

Because apparently it matters who is agreeing as a white person and how many agree as persons with a slightly darker skin tone. 🤦‍♂️
This is so fucking dumb.

Internet freedom is decapitated.
I miss the old internet so much, it was anarchy and today is a corporate globalist blob of control and censorship.
I feel it's lost and there's no alternative anymore, at least not yet.

One thing I like to do online is obscure references to old movies. If someone says or does something in a forum that reminds me of a character from a movie I will say: "Hello <character's name>" If the name is recognized people will say so because it is a fun thing. Or they will respond with quotes from that character. Other people will join in on this too. An example of this is calling someone Raymond who estimates the exact number of things in a picture. This is a reference to the character Raymond from the movie Rain Man. This character was autistic and could could numbers of things instantly accurately.

However there is a chance the name is so obscure that it just sounds weird. Nobody gets it. Maybe they recognize it is a reference maybe not. This goes unnoticed and unheeded.

There is an even more remote chance that this is in fact the person's actual IRL name. However, if they are on a semi anonymous platform then they cannot confront the person calling them by that name because that would out them. Also, if they PM me about it they are outed again. So if this occurs this person will now wonder how the fuck someone knows their real name. Silent torture and wondering about it for a couple of days.

I was replaced by AI.

Because I couldn’t be replaced directly, e.g. by using AI to do my job, the job description itself was changed as the business pivoted.

We used to be a software development company. Now, we’re an online AI school. The thing about AI schools is that you can monetize unfinished prototypes — the only thing AI is good at — and the process of making them.

I wasn’t strictly “replaced” — they just found a small-scale way to not need engineers at all.

Well, it’s time to make my own startup!

If AI doesn’t solve your problem, the answer is always just more AI. Thus, AI is the new XML.

AI response: I can't let you do that Dave.

How many mics do you have in your house? How many of them do you control?

I spent the past two days running headlong into obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. I found solutions and workarounds for all of them, including for some obscure odd behaviors in Rails, and got everything working — at least as much as is possible.

At the end of it all, the proposed architecture is fundamentally flawed. It amounts to “we want to have our cake and eat it, too.” So I’ll need to argue with management and try to convince them to let me redesign this broken sewage system. I doubt it’ll go well.

I’m tired, boss.

2 margaritas, 1 litre of beer and two rejection letters later. Tuesdays are great.

fucking code tests are retarded. if you just want a programmer, hire a fucking gpt instead. stop wasting my time. hr people send the most retarded emails ever.

As a sovereign citizen, I hereby declare war on the Federal Republic of Germany.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If a hashing algorithm is insecure, doesn't that make it a great compression algorithm instead?

A manifesto

alright I agree.

removing/deleting code feels like killing cancer cells.

I love sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Actually I don't like rock and roll that much

And sex is all right, but it's a bit overrated.

Actually i just love drugz

Looking for a new laptop on your current laptop that has served you for years. How heartless can you be?

Been at interview today for some mobile banking app. Female interviewer describes the process: tech scrrwning for their company, then tech interview for client company, then coding challengde than hiring manager offer. I said I am not doing that, I cannot pass those, my brain freezes at those challenges. I can offer pair programing up to two hours with their programmer. Interview ended quickly amd I am glad I stood up against that nonsense.

Joined a bunch of AI discord servers, and it's absolutely intimidating to even post out there. I kinda want to ask about a few topics, but I'm pretty sure I'll be chewed out for "not reading the source material" even tho I have and the questions still stand cuz it's still not clicking for me.

I just need a different angle to understand. 🥲

girls: please, be gentle.
also girls, 0.001 seconds after you breathe down their neck: PLEASE FUCK ME AS HARD AS YOU CAN WHILE HITTING ME IN THE FACE WITH THIS BRICK AND CALLING ME YOUR SISTER’S NAME

Randomly, I have to make a selfie when transferring money using the bank, even for 70,-. But very random. I make a joke of it by looking mad in the camera while smoking a sigarette. But damn, what the fuck, like, when was voted for shit like this? Nobody would EVER agree to such shit right? All those tippy tappy things we worry about for privacy but I just literally made a selfie for my bank transaction (ironically it was for smth not legal). Guys, this will get abused the fuck out of one day. They're automated building a report against you. A log, with pictures and accounts and amounts. Hmm, why do you send z, y or z directly to a person? That person was once in jail, hmm, let's see all transactions..

We're so fucked.
