I grew up in Russia. We don't use imperial units in any way, shape or form: we're fully metric. Every single person who taught me at school and whatnot was born and raised in Soviet Union that was also fully metric, and science was worshiped. We used to laugh at imperial units.

Given all that, I... don't hate imperial system. Inches, feet, miles, Fahrenheit degrees, gallons, all units based on human proportion. Just think where the word for "feet" came from.

Zero C is meh, nothing in particular. A hunge boils your blood kills you instantly. It's useless: it's a "shit ton of heat" in human scale.

Zero F is chilly, a hunge F is toasty. It's based around human perception. To me, there is no difference between 100 and 90 C, but the difference between 100 and 90 F is more perceptible, and thus more useful to a human being.

Same with every other unit. What's a gallon? A gallon is enough for an average Joe to get drunk, that's what a gallon is.

Where it all falls apart is when you're trying to create something. When you're trying to get some calculation going. When you're making — not consuming — you need your units to add up, e.g. to have the SYSTEM in place. Imperial system is not a system.

Imperial units are perfect for _consuming_ stuff: a gallon of milk, a pint of beer, a (real) footlong sandwich, a pound of meat. Six foot high dude with seven inch dick.

Metric units are indispensable when you're _making_ stuff, at any scale. That's the difference. Imperial units are the tool of consumption, metric system is the tool of creation.

Only the time units seem to be the same for everyone on earth right now. Time itself in its mercilessness gives the same treatment to all entities, doesn't matter if you're a human or a grain of sand.

I am watching a video about one of the biggest media agencies of NL and the use of AI.

Well, I see a problem of AI that it never does exactly what you want. Very easy if you do not have really a picture in your head of what you want.

But then again: how close is something a human creates to the picture in your mind normally?

On top of that, if you don't like it, AI generates again. But a human will take some days or so.

So, who will be the more comfortable designer to work with?

I have no idea, I never instructed a designer.

I think I speak for many developers when I say:

One of the most infuriating, frustrating, personal-time-invading burnout situations ever:

When your company decides to be cool and hip and hop on every next new technology, selling its employees as undisputed experts and then expecting them to do all the work! And not wanting to pay education hours, stigmatizing the employees for it! What are we, born perfect?!

Oh, as if it wasn't enough that I have to perfect myself in three required skillsets that are expansive on their own and require years of learning, no! Not enough! Let's become experts in three other skills while we're at it! Hop on the bandwagon, wooh! Let's milk the employee more!

I'm so frustrated at this point I'm starting to make Godzilla noises.

You know what? I'm just going to do what I want. Fucking tired of this tech-chasing. I'm gonna fucking explore what I want.

Week : 84 (Year 1 )

How is the weekend going?

What is a fantasy that is insanely hot to you, but you know you could never pull off in reality?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/14638873

Man, the effort it takes to build a solid foundation in Computer Science. 3 years absolute minimum, 5 years recommended, 10 years so you can start relaxing more because you can rely on your foundation.

It's hilarious how in corporate they try to force you to 'think positively'. You can't say: "I'm having a hard time at work and the people I work with are shit". No, you have to say "This is a challenge and a growth opportunity in a new and unexplored territory". Man, fuck you and get real.

And then all the real thoughts go to the watercooler talk.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the Flying Circus is on Amazon Prime right now.

Spaghetti sauce and eggs mmmm

Hey remember when we were all children ?

Course you don't. You people were never children. And you're all too young to have been alive when I was a child.

I may as well ask you people about being a puppy or a hatchling. Would probably describe your twisted asses better.

Have a good night cocksuckers

Asian fried red onions that are dry and crispy potato chip-like snack, organic Italian tomato juice, sardines

I am the olive garden now

All Chinese again for some reason

I have as truck to open any bottle to be fast. But recently I was at a science museum. They had a big rock on a stick that you could turn around. They said, you can turn it with one finger. Just push slowly and long enough. And it worked, all heavy things are easy to lift by keeping to push with some patience. I do it with bottles right now and with using little power and just some patience *plop*.

It blew my mind.

dandelion. show me your cock.

Not an ad, I swear

AI Pro is now part of the Jetbrains All Products Pack I've been subscribed to since I started my current job 11 years ago.

Although I haven't found tremendous value in AI for coding, it gets a B or B+ for serving the right documentation without having to trudge through Google to find it. And to ignore it would be foolish, so I'm at least going to be acquainted with it.

using macOS is an exercise in obedience.

White wingers are all pedophile. There I said it.

Ubuntu made me believe in Linux animations again.

I'm so tired. I live in a park and can't receive packages, post people refuse to enter the park. That's fine, you pay 8,50 extra for a delivery location (supermarket, gass station, read shop). Also fine. But they keep sending it to my home address resulting everytime to "not home, deliver tomorrow" and then they send it to a delivery location two times further than what I've asked for. This happened several times. How retarted are they. Fuckers. And the money is just gone, every time. Aaaaargh.

This time mailed for a compensation. Next day in house they say. For everyone, but not for me, while charging extra.

Something like 50 of my sweet, sweet plusplus just went poof, gone. Vanished, gone with the wind.

Could be a bunch of salty downvotes, no doubt a limpdick way to try and protest my immaculate logic? That is indeed a possibility. But the most likely explanation is someone nuked himself.

And you know what? Shit, man.
This is giving me flashbacks to when rutee left devRant and I hate it.

btw rutee, Mr Johnny Sins, your location literally inside me: in case you ever read this, I just want to say, you is the kewlest; no contest. Everyone else get fucked. I'm sorry, but you're not rutee. Nothing compares2u or some forbidden bromance shit sang by a bald woman, all night up the ass.

Anyway, where was I?
Ah, yeah. People-check.

So who deleted himself? I'm not seeing anyone missing. The whole gang is here. I think. I mean even ostream's shadowclones are still around.

Hmm. Maybe I did get downvoted?
Or maybe it was just a bunch of rants getting deleted, rather than a full-on nuke?

Huh. Indubitably, this is a case for Willy Tanner.
*REACHES FOR THE CRACKPIPE.*

> We talk about ‘conscious’ and ‘subconscious’ but both are conscious. Subconscious simply means not conscious to the 'conscious’ (five-sense mind) if you follow me

wtf

what's all the subconscious is? like just the thoughts you have in your head? I thought it was supposed to be something deep and inaccessible

do most people seriously not be able to access that?

no wonder I sound nuts to people and they sound like they're empty to me

> Subliminal advertising implants images and perceptions in the subconscious mind

and this doesn't work on me. so I am immune to advertising! It's always told even if you think you're immune you're not

I guess most people think about stuff and don't know why they're thinking about stuff. I keep that shit clean. if something is in there I don't like it makes me angry and I extract that shit like it's buggy code

> Subconscious mind is constantly interacting with conscious mind and influencing perceptions and actions

and I see people mess this up sooooo much, totally oblivious

so people can't access their subconscious... that's craaaazy
