Hey so me and my friend/lab partner were bored...

(posted on reddit by my lab partner)

Rust is a beautiful language. Fast, safe and system level.

The best and worst part of the language is that it has no inheritance.

Oh, and the super slow compile times really do suck.

Oauth is unnecessarily complicated. No wonder so many implementations are vulnerable...

This fucking sucks: https://theverge.com/platform/amp/...

"ah, right dns isn't working..."

Byron (reckful) has committed suicide. He was one of the first big streamers on Twitch and a game developer.

He was suffering from depression and has been for quite some time. He always appears happy around friends. He did "joke" about committing suicide on his last stream. Watching the clip makes it obvious that there was some truth to the "joke".

Also, remember that you never know what someone online is suffering from or how that person may interpret a joke. Be careful and think about how your message is received.

Please seek help if you have suicidal thoughts or even signs of depression. It's not a sign of weakness. We all need help sometimes.

A user opened an issue on Github saying something doesn't compile. Fair enough, it didn't.

Another user comments saying "I have the exact same issue but after the program launches"

Bitch no, that's not the same issue. Not at all.

Tldr, Icann rejected the offer by Ethos Capital for the .ORG tld. 🎉

Google Fit working perfectly!

Got out of bed at 4pm, walked to my desk, ordered home delivery. I have walked about 20 steps today.

In my uni course "Algorithms and Data structures" we use Java. Fine. Definitely not my preferred language but it's not like I have a choice.

Anyway, our teacher uploads code files for us to use as reference/examples. The problem is, they look like this. Not only does she not indent the code, she also uses a charset that is not utf-8.

In the rare cases where she does indent the code, she uses THREE, yes THREE spaces...

Timing belt in my VW Passat 99 snapped. What a beautiful day to be alive!

Fucking kill me...

Don't you just love it when you're 19 and have consistent chest pain?

Getting stars on Github, makes me smile every time!

New year, new exams to fail...

So it's been almost a whole day and I've still not managed to Install Arch with LUKS/LVM and grub2. Time to give up? Yes.

Happy holidays to y'all.

Do you have any goals for 2020? Not necessarily new years resolutions.

My goals are:
* Pass math exams
* Master Rust
* Get back to the gym.

So I wanted to spread a struct in another struct to fill fields with the value `None`. Not what I expected when I googled "Rust spread into"..

Someone donated to me today for one of my open source projects.

I don't even know what to say. Thank you 🙏

CI/CD is probably the best thing that I ever learned about in the software engineering field.

Whenever I merge into master, my code automatically builds and the artifacts are uploaded to a new release on github.

Beautiful.

I have procrastinated for four days straight. I have done nothing of what I should have done.

I've never been more productive though. Wrote a multi-platform SamacSys library-loader clone in Rust. I haven't written any documentation yet as that's about as boring as the stuff I have to actually do. 🙃

I'm studying Computer Science and Engineering in Uni.

People don't understand the most fundamental principles of programming at all. Variables and functions are like a foreign language to them.

I get that not everyone knows everything but if you decide to go to uni to study programming, and you have never programmed before. Are you really in the right place?

Litteraly repairing my motherboard with hot glue right now.

tldr: Fuck webpack with a big rusty pipe.

I have a class and in the construct a method is called with an imported value as the argument. This imported value is declared like this:

export const EXT = 'whatthef';

Seems like webpack moves things around in such a way that this constant isn't aceasable in all contexts.

Spent a good 4 hours figuring that out 🙃

Publishing stuff and receiving feedback and improvement ideas is sush a great feeling. A guy opend an issue today asking for a feature to be implemented and he was very polite. Thanking me for my work.

This is way better than money. Money can't buy that feeling. People like this guy is the reason open source stuff lives.

My university application got accepted! 😀

Graduated. I'm finally free now... ☺️

It's graduation week and we're all hammerd by 11:30 am. I'll be surprised if I make it till Friday when we graduate 😂

So my IT teacher wrote his own web server framework for NodeJS and he forces us to use it for assignments. Would be fine if:
1. It worked properly.
2. It had any kind of documentation.
3. He knew how it worked.

But no, we have to debug his shit and edit the js files in node_modules to get shit working.

Is he open to suggestions? Not really. If you have a fix, you have to create a gitlab account and send a pr. Even if you tell him what exactly is wrong. He won't do anything about it.

Why use express when we can learn something we'll never use again?

At this point I think we're using it only so that he gets downloads on npm.

Oh ya, he also copies package.json from project to project instead of creating a new one with up to date dependencies.

🙃

Taking a break from the computer stuff...
