How many of the following list did you commit?

I just bought some new device that has AA bateries included, already inserted, and obviously, already leaking.
Clowns.

So today I was reading a paper on different languages and I saw how good Zig is on the paper:
- same performance as C
- memory safety (underlined behavior, not trump's one)and rust
Basically the same with concurrency

Maybe I will need to switch languages;
Any arguments for C except the ecosystem, it's age/maturity and easy syntax?

I hate dark themes, do you? I suspect them to be more agressive on the retina.

i dont know frontend or react

now toss in nextjs and pandacss

why the fuck is some box from @styled-system/jsx' possibly squishing the height of an image

why the fuck is my color not being applied to the existing <Image , the existing approach could be wrong

how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof so i can do it

Sigh. There are a number of 'app' makers out there that slap their website into a WebView framework and call it 'our app'. Are you fucking kidding me? If you develop an app, make it at the very least native, not a port. Lazy fuckers.

So, Sid got pissed about the ball-kicking and the elephant theft. He called me on the phone, crying like a baby. "Why you do this to me?" he say with his dumb accent. I laughed and hung up. But then, a week later, I hear he coming to my country for revenge. Perfect, I think. Time for round two.
I wait at the airport with a plan. He arrive, looking all sweaty and mad, dragging a suitcase full of curry powder or whatever. I follow him to his hotel. Sneak in at night. He sleeping again, this time with a burger wrapper stuck to his face from the one I left before. Gross. I decide to up the game. No kicking this time. I shave his head while he snores. Bald like a egg. Then I glue a fake mustache on his chin, but upside down. Looks stupid.
He wake up screaming in the mirror. I hide in the closet and watch. He run out the room, trip over his own feet, fall into the pool. Splash. Everyone laugh. I sneak out, steal his suitcase. Inside: nothing but socks and a picture of his lost elephant. Pathetic. I burn the socks in the hotel trash. Smell bad anyway.
On the way out, I leave another burger under his new pillow. This one with extra onions. He hate onions.
I fly home again, even more satisfied. Sid probably still bald and wet.
I swear on his bald head that this all really happened.
Also, I took his hotel toothbrush and threw it in the toilet.

I had to explain git merge to a senior level dev. It is 2025

I wonder if OpenGL 2.1 will be supported in 10 years, 20?

Wow Been a while since I opened this app. Hi devRant

LMAO was in live today and I tried to implement smth, it doubled the livetime (it didnt work)

Urgh, I can't get going on Mondays. Even in a calm environment and with a really nice project I can't get focused on my task.
What's wrong with me?

belgian justice:

an illegal stole chocolat in front of the kinder plant

Sentence: 6 month, no probation

a cop drugged 2 girls with GHB and raped them

Sentence: "mandatory therapy"

Job spec fallacies and red flags. I will start:

* "Fast-paced environment" = "You will rarely finish something before start something else"
* "Ability to juggle competing priorities" = "our leaders don't align holistically and everything is important"
* "Opportunity to interact with all departments" = "You will accumulate functions"
* "Industry pioneers" = "We didn't research our competition when we started"
* "Leaders in the segment" = "We still haven't researched our competition"
* "Matrixed teams" = "we don't know how to structure our organisation"

be my guest, I don't give a fuck so long as I can do it too

Isn't it awesome when someone's "bugfix" causes new bugs which prompt "bugfixes" for the bugfixes in the same merge request?

So I'm reading the documentation of the newest thing from Google: the Android Studio XR. There, they mention that there's an emulator available.

...by the emulator there's this _interesting_ info box that reads: 'Caution: In rare cases, using the emulator can result in system freezes or crashes on some Windows configurations. Please ensure all data is saved before running the emulator. As a workaround, enable WHPX. See release notes for more known issues.'

Holy fuck. Those are some _very_ major problems that may arise from using it. Congrats... on that failure, of course.

They should definitely patch it soon.

Anyway, source here: https://developer.android.com/devel... .

Why so much hate on PHP

i voted for capybara man; ~0.33% of votes.
no congress 4 u lmaoo
ok see you back in 2027

Who's responsible for the bimonthly hits of Wayback Machine to every user's devRant profile?

Snek is back up https://molodetz.online/web.html

How many of us tap their keys with their fingers extra hard even though the keyboard is responsive and flat enough? lol

It's the year when I did not renew domain I bought for my project.

Feels weird to stop bleeding money for a project I haven't finished

You can here to make friends, I came here to diss 84 of you. We're not the same.

Check here if you were worth it: https://snek.molodetz.nl/api/...

(Technically, everyone should be in here from the last few weeks).

the lighter was invented before the match

Using c++ without (most of) the standard library and avoiding operator overloads has made me like the language again. It's an extremely capable language, but my LORD is it bloated and overgrown. Using it like "c with classes" again is the way.

Xcode under 26 now defines "close window" as command+shift+W which is contrary to EVERY Mac App that has ever existed (or pretty damn close).

Command + W closes a tab.

Trying to get them to switch with each other and Xcode switches them back on you. I sat here and watched it do it. Those damn menu key mappings are agonizing anyway... Another shit show from Apple Xcode team.

And... if you check the Xcode comments in the app store it is driving other people nuts too.

I should not have to fight my IDE to do work.
💩=>🧠

Would someone please introduce the Apple Xcode team to DevRant. Makes me wonder if those jokers use Mac outside of Xcode.

@ostream see DM's on Snek, I delivered. Enable Snek notification system! It's almost not annoying!

Updates on my current resignation situation: 55 days are over, 35 days remaining. i haven't got a single interview call(yes not even an hr call!?!) since I put open to work on linkedin. I am thinking of rescinding my resignation

Here are some points about my current org, help me decide:

1. Physical
+ 3days wfo, 34km away from home (the next silicon valley area is around 500km far, in another state)
- 2hrs of commute from home, no energy left after work time is over

2. Tech
+ We are using very latest tech in softwares, the leaders are pushing for us to learn AI as well.
- there aren't much people with in depth knowledge, its like enough monkeys with typewriters will produce a shakespeare somehow

3. People and culture:
+ People are very energetic, vocal and fast paced
+ Work is done under ever "improving"(changing) ruleset, with discipline and in a process oriented manner
+ I have been here for almost 3 years, so have a decent professional relationship with team
- rules are made and applied according to convenience. People playing good games seems to work around these rules
- unrealistic deadlines and over work
- Too much pressure to "outshine" and "go over and above" to even expect a basic appreciation
- non respctful, shouting culture, people are not really friends but rather playing the "survival of the fittest, loudest and most aggresive" game

4. Brand
+ Company's name is reputable, its known for rarely ever doing layoffs and people have a sense of security
+ My salary is decent, marketworthy for the role that I am in (SE1)
- with 5+ yoe, both my role and salary is not as per market standards (should be atleast SE2)

Hi, why y'all switching to Rust?
I mean real question. I used Rust for a year, before learning C.
It was pretty good but the compiler was driving me mad;
The syntax was a bit verbose.

Both are pretty fast as long as you don't use cargo.
It's not a bad concept (a memory safe lang) ut most codebases end up like :

unsafe {
dologic();
}

Do you think one day rust will be better than C?
