I want to make one of my projects cross platform,
I pull up my thinkpad,
I clone my repo,
I cd into it,
I make
There's no make
I write a CMakeLists
It works after 10 copilot attempts
I open VS,
and it doesnt work

Did any of you other nerds sort of just glide through math in school and felt inadequate once you got to the real world, like: "I can't be a real engineer, I barely understood trig!"

That was me, then I started studying the fourier transform about a week and a half ago (because I bought an Arduino and want to make real-time sound visualizations)

I found that I actually really enjoy math on my own time. Learning about complex numbers, Euler's formula, polar form, whatever whatever - it was exciting and I was doing practice problems on paper and enjoying it!

Hopefully this momentum continues. Maybe one day I can be a genuine tough-guy engineer with math skills.

Soo.. I bought a Transcend SSD and I wanted to make a backup of my _current_ backup ssd.

Bought it, plugged it up and fired up rsync. Although Transcend declares the SSD seq writes are up to >1G/s, it was at least x10 slower than that. Eventually all was copied. Wat surprised me was the disk usage.

Here are both the filesystems: the source and the destination (Transcend)

P.S. damn, imags are down.. attaching plaintext

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

had argentinian midterm election yoday.
much candidate. such democracy. wow.

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

Just fixed a bug no one knew I caused.
Feeling like a hero… and a criminal… at the same time. 🕵️‍♂️💻

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

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

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"

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

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"

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

The mods are sleeping now. Let's party!

Whenever I feel bad about my engineering skills, I take a look at what people build who work in enterprise or the public sector, and I feel like a fucking 1337 pro.

It's dying! What rant platform are we gonna use...
