The OneNote saga continues.

The Project Manager woman is back from holiday and lo and behold I get a DM telling me to update my notes. I have done so already, but OneNote didn't sync it. I open it again only to see half of what I pasted in is gone, so is the checkmark for my name.

She tells me I am the only person experiencing this. I feel like I am being gaslit. I ask a coworker if they also have sync issues with OneNote, and yes they do. I am being gaslit.

She made me submit an IT support ticket for this shit and now I am sitting here waiting for the technician to finish and leave the remote session so I can do my fucking work. This is so pointless, there's nothing to fix for IT support, it's a shit piece of Windows software.

The current state of wordpress "web development" makes me want to punch myself in the balls.
I remember when we coded a lot of stuff, now everything is janky drag and dropping, all plugins have premium versions with the actual features you need, templates are more and more full of dependencies that are trash. Wordpress is ruined. I want it to die already.

How is it, that features goes thru the entire mill of dev, staging, preview.
Then when deployed to production, things blow up..
Turns out, columns are nullable only in production DB and of course, those happen to be null in there.

If I had a dime for every time I’ve seen shit like this…

The entire modern gaming ecosystem is a scam.

I added The Crew: Motorfest trial version to my library for free.

Click on Install and it downloads 43 GB of data.
Now it's time to launch.
Click on launch and Ubisoft Connect takes over and it starts downloading another 43 GB??????

WTF ??

If I can't even get the trial version of a game without nearly wanting to kill myself, how does the company expect me to pay full price for it?

Piracy FTW. Fuck all the companies.

this time i'm writing down the fucking dumbass docker nginx configuration and pasting on my forehead

every fucking time some letter or IP address is wrong.

just installing the standalone nginx that actually works every fucking time and doesn't pull some idiotic docker shit on me

FuckedIn unrestricted me, and said it happened because my location was not reflecting the current location I am at. How the fuck they know it? Is it the VPN? I use it for 2 years. Fuckers.

I changed it, but one hour later it was restricted again. Are you fucking kidding me? I won't stop. I will spam these maggots and I will have my account back for good. The other issue is that shitty Persona they use to verify the IDs. It doesn't seem to be sending to them. That's what happens when trash uses trash.

Piece of shit of platform, piece of shit of detection system (or maybe not?)

Work harder peasants

I just had to drill an error reporter through the entire Orchid codebase for multiple fatal error reporting. The caller constructs a reporter and passes it into the interpreter, various internal interpreter functions put errors into it and return meaningless but valid substitute values, then the caller checks the reporter for recorded errors and avoids using the return value if there were any.

I have recreated ERRNO in a high level language.

Woohooo, I'm going to Tokyo!
Our paper was accepted to a robotics conference. We have the pleasure of playing with tiny drones, and we get paid and rewarded for it!

i fall in love with every software that have a purpose but an ugly UI and do the job well, devrant for example, how about you ?

Your yearly reminder that Wordpress enjoys a >40% market share of all websites.

https://kinsta.com/wordpress-market...

It looks like it is sitting at 42.7% now. It peaked in 2022 at 43.2%. So it did slip over the last 2 years.

I barely have any energy to actually write something or reply something nice under all your posts so I'll be brief:

Happy New Year Everybody!
I wish to all of you that 2024 will treat you better than previous years ^_^
Have a fantastic year everyone <3 <3 <3

God why do I even log in anymore...

Just seen on LinkedIn: "Some exciting news will be shared soon. Stay tuned. 🎉✨"

Dude, literally not a single sad fuck gives two shits about your dumbass fake garbage. Just stfu

Maybe if you spent more time building product than posting on LinkedIn, you'd make some headway.

It’s simple.
coffee —> code
tea —> good code
hot chocolate —> great code !

when you run lighthouse on some tech "guru" with 50K subscriber's website and can laugh when they don't even have alts on images

hahahahahahahaha clowns

to be brutally honest, you need to know the basics before attempting to teach anyone anything, i don't care how boring it is

An ability to port all Windows games to Linux without performance loss due to bad ports and bad drivers so I won't have to dual boot anymore.

So I upgraded my 8 year old Acer Aspire 7250 with Linux Solus and performance increased OVER 9000000000

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT I AM GOING LINUX!!!

Pessimist: a O(2^n) algorithm's performance decreases exponentially as input increases.

Optimist: a O(2^n) algorithm's performance increases exponentially as input decreases.

PROBLEM: A tickets' company came to us last autumn. They said they have severe performance problems and asked us to help.
SOLUTION: covid and quarantines. All events have been ceased, noone's buying any tickets any more. Performance problems are no more. FIXED.

PROBLEM: Another company came to us recently. They said they have severe performance problems with their huge databases and asked us to help.
SOLUTION: a few days of heavy rain and their datacenter was flooded. along with the backup servers. No more data, no more performance problems with large databases. FIXED

Solving problems genie style!

Who's next?

Somehow nextjs is super powerful and blazing fast. But the way how the fucking frontend and backend is cluttered together, intervined up down left right sideways and in fucking circles its SO fucking confusing and difficult as shit to work with

Is it just me?

docker documentation is terrible. Mf'ers seem allergic to giving actual functional examples.

Watch me generate a 1-to-1 copy of the docker compose docs (real & true):

`docker compose --help > docs.html`

In reality it is just a tool that is extremely helpful

I can’t find flaws in his logic

Updating angular and npm/node/whatever the fuck is the most difficult and convoluted thing ever

Web devs, you deserve better than this awful piece of shit cable mess of a fucking "framework" or whatever the fuck this retarded shit is meant to be

What kind of supercomputer you have to use to get these fucking websites to work smoothly????

I'm on a fucking gigabit connection, ryzen 7 7700x, 32GB ram, and a fucking nvme, all it takes is opening a fucking recipe site and I'm instantly transported back to the 80s. I swear if i see another 4k asset I'm gonna punch something.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO FUNCTION OVER FORM????

Oh do you want me to disable my addblocker??? How about: you make a site that works you fuck. No i will not fucking subscribe to your brain-dead newsletter why the fuck would I???
And since when are cookies needed for a fucking plaintext site you asshat??? Tracking??? I swear if you could you would generate metadata from my clipped fingernails if it meant you could stick "Big data" next to that zip-bomb you call a website.

I WOULD like to read your article, possibly even watch a couple of ads on my sidebar for you, but noooooo you had to have the stupid fucking google vinegrette or however the fuck they are calling the fucking thing now.

The age of the web sucks the happiness out of life, and despite having all of this processing power, I am jealous of my fathers RSS feeds.

I'm sorry web people, I know it's not your fault, I know designers and management don't give a shit how long a website takes to load. I just wanted to make a fucking omelette.

potential client, wondering why i don't answer any of his messages or calls: "I hope I haven't done anything wrong!?"

yeah dude, continually calling me MULTIPLE times after 5PM on friday (second friday in a row) is one way to "do something wrong"

these "business" types know no bounds

The Todo App is such a simple example that for a lot of libraries/frameworks it does very little to give me confidence that it's useful in large scale applications. So the solution is always get stuck in using the thing, hope the community are active enough to help answer questions and that the whole thing isn't a waste of time.

It seems like Python solutions are always shorter.

SSR in frontend frameworks

my 16 GB mac book pro is starting to struggle just having vs code running... FML

to be fair I've turned it off a total of perhaps 100 hours since I've gotten in 2019ish 💀
