Week: 112 (Year 3)

How is the weekend going, lads?

Question: What’s something you think 90% of people are secretly bad at?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19376600

Hey guys, should I bake gun/weapon Rendering in my graphics engine or not? If I do so, it will be an engine limited to FPS games...
Anyways if anyone got time please give me feedback about my engine, https://GitHub.com/3dgoose/wipe

My C code is so unsafe even bindgen will suffer
Also screw you sfml

This page makes me laff.

Can anyone make a good case for the dereference-property operator being "->"

What the fuck, those keys are nowhere near where I rest my fingers while typing.

Not only that, but it's a sequence of two characters. For what reason!?!?!?

In fact, can anyone tell me what the reason is that we have a specific operator for this operation?! Why not just use the period for everything? If the left hand side is a pointer, the period can dereference and THEN resolve the scope. Otherwise, just resolve the scope to the property. Since resolving the scope on a pointer directly does nothing (IE, if you were to write "pointer.property" in current c/c++/etc), this means the operation is unambiguous and doesn't need to be two operators.

FUCK.

I told my therapist about my code. Now we both need therapy.

Generate one trillion datapoints. Interesting. lol. I need 128 GB RAM for that, though...

Because Windows doesn't provide glext.h. If anyone knows how to install it.

There is always something, innit? Some "data scientist" in waaaaaay over his head complained to my teammate that the piece of code she wrote was faulty in some overly weird edge case that only occurred to him, but was never actually seen in practice. But the jerk complained in a very, very annoying and entitled and pushy way.
He brought my girl almost to tears.
Now, im not exactly the most delicate in my manners, but One. Doesn't. Mess. With. My. Team.
I just sent an email to his manager that from this day forward, every single piece of code anyone on his entire team requests will be tested to the entirety of the possible inputs. They had asked for some delay measurement tool. I've locked my cluster for... nineteen hours now, just computing the complete list of test parameters. 3.1Gb of parquet files with possible input combinations. Or about 1200 USD coming out of their budget *just to _test_ this one fucking function*. And about a week delays for the tests to complete.
And a chip on my shoulder.

P.S. the data science team manager is actually nice and all, and he is also at the end of his patience with his jerk of a teammate. Someone is getting a bloody poor quarterly review.

the most important thing of all is STABILITY! IF ITS NOT STABLE DO NOT USE IT

If the nazis could invade Belgium and then France, the netherlands, which made D-Day necessary, it's because THOSE FUCKING VLAMS PEOPLE DIDN'T FIGHT THEIR LITTLE NAZI FRIENDS.

One really good compilers is TCC/TinyCC, but SDL2 just won't work with it because it uses immintrin

The Classic “Production Bug” Rant

Me: “It’s just a small change. Won’t affect production.”

Production: dies instantly

Manager: “Can you fix it ASAP?”

Me: “Already on it.”

(starts googling “how to fix production after a small change”)

Moral of the story: Never say “small change” out loud. The servers can hear you.

What the fuck is happening in 2025 where half the websites can't keep the session open?

How is it "good security practice" to require me to login every few hours?

Shit like this makes me think software has plateaued. If devs can't make a fucking session work in the big 2025, then there's no hope.

Has anyone ever worked anywhere that actually had complete user stories to work on? Every job I've had requires me to ask clarifying questions for almost every part of a ticket before I work on it. I wonder how nice a job could be if acceptance criteria and expectations were known before a ticket was assigned.

"Guru meditation". Talk about weird errors... lol.

"But why is the scar on the left if the appendix is on the right?"

"You're absolutely right! Let me try that one more time"

One day Luik / Liege / Luttich country will be independent from the genocidal german king of "Belgium".

From the maas to the north sea.

ok asked google what can it tell me about myself and it slapped me with the fact that i wrote an image format and called it JOJ.

it didn't pick up on the reference so 0/10.

also it identified me as a programmer rather than a shitposter, i feel profoundly hurt by this injurious misprofiling. am i a joke to you? don't answer.

anyway only *now* i finally understand what "online footprint" really means and why some people are kinda paranoid about it. but i am not going to go back and delete ten years of willie tanner jokes, because the fact that the dad from alf was allegedly caught in a crackhouse having sex with homeless people will never not be funny to me, sorry but not sorry.

I need ur opinion :
Im adding a GUI to my engine (written in C), and my question now is should I use ImGui (needs bindings), or Nuklear.

ImGui is very beautiful by default :/

I don't want to see that "C++ : 1%" in the little langauges section in github, nor need a C++ compiler.

Also I use leagecy OpenGL
