Him: Hey your program doesn't work
Me: what's the error
Error: malformed data file
Me: where'd you get that data file?
Him: oh in this new place I saw
Me: that's not the correct data file for that command
Him: are you sure? This is more convenient for me
Me: the command needs the correct data from the correct source....

If you use space as indentation I hate you and I want to remove your nails one by one and then dip it in salt.

And then rape the salt.

A new deployment is planned tomorrow. Fourth try is the charm 🙃

JS: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’].join(‘, ‘)
Ruby: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’].join(‘, ‘)
Go: strings.Join([]string{"a", "b", "c"}, ", “)

Swift: ["a", "b", "c"].joined(separator: ", ")

Racket: (string-join ‘("a” “b” “c") “, “)

fucking python: ‘, ‘.join([‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’])

talk let's, like exactly, prioritizes python, comes what, and first, comes what, ‘ ‘ second. Like talking, doesn’t Yoda, you make, wiser any.

Carpet Denim or whatever

The effort it takes in C# to go from zero to 'Hello World' is comparable to converting to some obscure cult.

I lost a client today 😞.
One of the fundamental reasons freelance sucks major balls.

Kernel coming along slowly but surely. I can now fetch the memory map and use normal Rust printlns to the vga text mode!

Next up is physical memory allocation and page maps

How did they manage to make OneDrive such a steaming, heaving, suppurating pile of pigshit?

Is it me or devrant is slow as fuck?

I have the urge to write a torrent lib in Rust but I really have other priorities to take care of…

Wife's driving me nuts
Work is driving me nuts

At least my kids are awesome!

Maybe getting a new job would help. I'd probably need two new jobs to match this one though

Every ticket I work on involves some nebulous, undocumented BS nobody can satisfactorily explain. And worse, even if it’s something I’ve already worked with before, it’s almost invariably different from the last time I saw it, so it’s still nebulous BS. It’s like I’m walking through Steven King’s Mist, except the bugs are more metaphorical.

Everything is spec’d out, except for the views, and half of the logic. But the rest is still technically covered because tests indirectly call the code, so that means it won’t crash right? 😅 Also, the tests that are there are also fucking nebulous, such as calling helper methods that are heavily abstracted, or that are written to test completely different things but kinda sorta work for this too if you set things up just right.

I’m going insane.

That's funny

Q: How do you know Xcode 16.2 is a mess?

A: The code it generates for a new project is rejected by the compiler.

You generate a framework project, and besides having to manually sign the damn thing (really, can't setup for success?), it won't compile and link due to some other obscure error IT generates.

/<pathToFramework>/<ProjectName>.framework: resource fork, Finder information, or similar detritus not allowed
Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code

Yes, boys and girls, Xcode is broken right out of the gate on building a framework template it creates!

I'll tell you what is "detritus", it's Xcode. Hint to Xcode team: "Just Say NO" - Nancy Regan

Left and right unite! I've spoken with a boomer today about politics and got triggered more about politics than ever before. I thought that I didn't care anymore. We have to do something about the boomer! That privileged by TWO parents raised wealthy boomer said that everything is alright. Dude, my generation is raised bad because two parents worked and the zoomer literally has no houses left to rent OR buy anymore and there are no plans building new ones at all. It's the biggest fuck you ever. If I were a zoomer I would've been blind from anger. Maybe that's why people die, their attitude makes us extinct at a certain point. He said that they don't deserve a house with their 24h working attitude. That's debatable but I think the zoomer is right, we work too much. When I had a family for a while I realized that. It's only alright to work full time if you're single and maybe in a relationship, but two parents nearly full time is too much. Not sure if the zoomer understand they but only wants to game even more but that's not the point. The work less attitude is a good thing, even I as workaholic agrees to that. I'm only workaholic because I don't have a life. I just realized that if you have a life, the amount we work is crazy. I really couldn't give the attention I wanted to the kiddo and partner.

So again, left and right, we're being distracted! Unite and GET THEM!

If the zoomer still believed in voting, they would've been extinct by now.

We had sketches ik the Netherlands "Political party against the citizen. Vote for us and fuck you!". I swear to God, boomers would vote that if it existed under the idea of "Lives so good, it can be less, it's ok". He said before or after mentioning his two cars, moped, drone and bought house with quite a tummy. Caring about the climate but not about the children of tomorrow. The climate doesn't matter much anymore if people don't take kids anymore because it's too expensive, no place to live and not enough time to raise them. Also, kidding, they don't care about climate either. Totally blinded by the 70 years of perfect life.

I don't complain about life, but saying we're doing fine as a boomer, stfu! The milennials do also not have that much to complain, but the sooner, hell yes they have. Holy f. Why would you work at all if you can't get a place to live. Maybe this is the way we extinct. Egoism.

My god. He was my example 😕 The former computer expert of the family before I got born and dominated him to the bone 😕 It was brutal 😕 He had no chance 😕 KARMA BITCH 😁

I just had the most confusing error ever where clang ast randomly replaced classes with just int in type signatures

...wat? I guess the class only has one int field so maybe there's a cpp rule that requires replacing classes with their only field or something?

But when I add other fields it doesn't change. Even if the class has no int fields, it's still replaced by int in the ast

....

Yeah turns out I had the definitions in the wrong order and clang just uses int for unknown types instead of... you know maybe raising a fucking error

Thanks clang...

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 positive

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

Jackson JSON parser can be a pain in the ass sometimes.
Like, bro, I don't want you to pollute my JSON when saving into Redis. Because now the frontend clients suddenly don't understand the schema because it's riddled with @class and type definitions everywhere.
You have to perform dark magic to get this thing to work automatically with Spring Boot caching.
I've had to implement my own custom serializer and deserializer after wasting who knows how many hours on this.
Shit like this is why I tend to roll my own implementation for many things at the slightest hint that a library isn't flexible.

Google Maps: Hey you are at restaurant XYZ! You wanna see the menu?
Me: Yeah, why would I want to see the worse edition of the menu on maps! If only I could just move my eyeballs slightly...

You should build your next project in G

The only thing worse than hating your job is liking it.

Create a service so reliable that when shit hits the fan users think it’s their fault.

The biggest issue with Orms is that they lie

Have you ever started a new job and they have a bunch of legacy and technical debt so much that it doesn’t even makes sense trying to fix anything

Amusing vim/neovim newbie beatdown story. I am mostly enjoying it, so please don't take it too personally, as I'm 60% having fun, 30% looking for help, and only 10% attacking your fundamental identity and way of life

#1 uses left and right arrows to move the selection up and down, and down and up arrows to move the selection into and out of tree elements

#2 uses tab and shift tab to move the selection up and down, but has great filtering

#3 uses up and down arrows to move the selection up and down, and enter and esc to move the selection into and out of tree elements.

I get that I have just frantically cobbled various things together to make it work but man, there's something to be said about the I in IDE...
