excuse me why are we fighting in the middle east

originally combustion engines used distilled alcohol farmers made in their backyards... which you can make from anything that has a sugar in it

it was more efficient than gasoline

but gasoline "had won" because they undercut the price of alcohol, gasoline lobbying the government to put a tax on alcohol and the whole prohibition thing

why are we even doing green scam. alcohol making has absolutely nothing environmentally harmful on it lol. those windmills and solar panels rot and leech chemicals into the environment, and those lithium batteries are a crazy explosion and toxic cloud hazard

humans, why.

now everyone is bitching about gasoline prices and itching to uselessly go to a war instead of Canada bothering to drill up oil under our territory that could power the world's energy consumption for the next 200 years and that's just the deposits we know about and assume are finite...

I hate humans

the green scam people say ohnooo so much food is wasted at the grocery store, we must use AI to improve the logistics and never make more than the necessary food because waste is so ungreen. ok you could make it into alcohol which is a more efficient gasoline. and no need to lug an extra ton of battery weight underneath every vehicle that now has an explosion radius of 30 meters lmao

it's like we wanna die

naked molerats are effectively immortal

I hate c# ;_;

I waste so much time on bs its unreal. The only good thing about c# is that is has a garbage collector

Hopefully I'll settle on a good concept soon for my own system lang with a GC so I can finally not deal with all the C# bullshit <.<

lol does this platform even work anymore?

i made 12K this month and its only the 22nd

how's that youtube career going sidthesupercoolitkid?

I have a data hoarding problem:

His charges are affordable and reliable, This is my way of showing appreciation for a job well done. contact him for help via address hackerspytech @ gmail com

I'm wondering if I should start looking for new work already. I've been here six months. I really miss working on Linux, I miss my previous income, and I'm so sick of working logistics. Everything at this shop is a continual dumpster fire.

They have tuition reimbursement, so I could potentially work on my MBA. But it also requires me to stay with the company for 1 year after the completion of each semester they reimburse. Might be worthwhile if I apply for a management role.

I'm on an interview process with another company.

I'm pretty happy where I am, everything is good, but I actually need more money and I won't get a raise where I am right now. Salary revisions are frozen for the time being.

And they've never been great increases, just small percentages.

If it weren't for the money I would stay here.

Man, I always miss Rust whenever I'm using another language ;_;

Exhibit A: Serialization and deserialization

With serde in Rust you just derive the Serialize/Deserialize trait with a simple annotation and now you can magically serialize/deserialize the struct with any serde backend, whether JSON, YAML, some binary format, whatever

Currently doing C# and I just want to cry ;_;

I just ask Docker to build me a figure...I'm learning this shit fast...

DLSS5 in games looks horrendous lmao

I hate searching for things and reading the top articles today. It's either mainstream crap or LLM generated. Some of it might not be LLM generated, but it reads that way because people use these things so much they write like them now!

So I wrote a simple web form that makes it easy to restrict searches by year ranges:

It's pretty amazing, being able to use modern search engines and actually find really interesting articles that would normally be lost to time.

Imagine wanting to wait until someone else comes to the office, receive an email, and understand your problem, "solves" it, and send it back to you instead of putting an image in 2 PDFs yourself.

high trust society but everything is a scam

strange that every company is #1 innovative best people ever

In the same way that you can look at tree rings and point to years when there was bad weather etc., I can look at my github contributions graph and point to sickness, death, and divorce.

another project I can't start and instead procrastinate, wah wah wah

... actually that didn't happen with programming projects. programming is pretty fun. like solving sudokus all the time. how am I supposed to stay motivated if I'm not frustrated?!

Bug report reads: "The fireworks bound to the Thumbstick button can be detonated too rapidly encouraging the players to abuse the function which will lead to them prematurely wearing down their hardware. We recommend applying cooldown of three seconds to mitigate that.
Even though rapidly touching the screen to detonate the fireworks works the same way, it doesn't fall under this requirement."

...the fix came in. The solution? Detonations via touching the screen have a cooldown now, while the Thumbstick button works just as it had before. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!

May all the female devRanters out there have a happy Women's Day.

God damnit! I can never recall whether whether is spelled weather or wether or wheter without looking it up! 🤬

What's the real use for Docker? a Docker image has the same weight as if you install the app normally (what you see no but the image in some other folder yes), that's not cool. what's its real use? you can later config it with yml files? access the Docker hub? I don't get it.

cool email providers?

Things feel so stagnant these days. I don't get out much in the winter in general, so my week is mostly work, then reading. Occasionally reading in the cigar shop.

This weekend is slightly busy; catching some music, dinner with an old work friend, going to a performance of Evil Dead the Musical and a Chinese New Year celebration with another friend.

Even when the weekend are busy, I still feel kinda lost. The weekend ends, I'm back at work, doing the same shit, rotating the same 4~6 meals, week in and week out. I did spent a year traveling the world when I was younger. I got a lot of adventure out of me. It's not adventure I seek.

I may replace my stolen mountain bike and start trail riding again this summer. Even so .. it's just another activity. It just feels like ... well this is it. You're halfway through the game and you get another 40 years of this if you live that long.

Is refactor as part of a ticket a good idea. Like mixing refactoring and features all the time because we can’t find time for tech debt otherwise?

idk why people always suggest for you to break down tasks into smaller tasks

I find I dread starting the thing and then I'll stop what I'm doing to check the task list and then it just makes that dread feeling show up again and laziness because I crossed things off. also what's written in a list isn't EXACTLY the best way to be doing something so then I start rewriting the list to be more accurate and that gets me all miffed

ooor I could just start doing the thing and just do whatever is in front of me without any micromanaging and before I know it I'm done and I don't end up procrastinating 5 times over 7 days and instead just doing everything in one evening... because it's just "do the thing that's out of place in front of you" and it's really smooth like that

dumbest advice

now YouTube is giving me one of those disclaimer notes under a computerphile video saying "dead Internet theory" is a conspiracy theory...

what. how does that even make sense. so I guess we have to pretend there are no bots on the internet or something now

considering the amount of bugs introduced with each release of gnome de, by now i'm sure people who use gnome do nothing with their machines and using linux for them is just a gimmick.
they boot up the os and just look at the desktop and say: wow, what great desktop, gnome is sure the best.
same people are very vocal when you point out a bug or an issue in the github/lab pages. responding to you with "i never had that problem in my entire life not even once, ever."
assholes making software and idiots using it in their world of butterflies and rainbows. then here i am trying to open most basic apps without crashing.

I don't understand some devs. Sometimes there are senior devs that instead of documenting requirements on paper, they decide to call you and tell you all the complex requirements for half an hour and expect you to just get up and develop what they just said.

Wtf is wrong with some people. Better: Jira, documentation, e-mail, communication.

Interview:

Round one.. fight.

Me: "I want to work with modern technology"
Them: "Have you worked with modern technology before?"
Me: "No"
Them: "No job for you"

Right, so to get a job in modern tech you already have to have worked in it. Sigh.

Toastie!
