why structs/objects when can tuples everything

Guys i'm bored lets throw a rave in your country presidential palace.

I bring acid

When your technical colleagues apply or pressure you to make fixes or implement features w/o understanding how abd why they work. When they discard your proposals/alternatives as inferior, motivating with their superficial knowledge arguments. When they promote new toys over tried and true ones, only because they work using other new technologies and they do stuff automatically, w/o having to think why/how, hoping it'll never fail.

And when it all starts erroring -- turn to @netikras asking to fix the tools I ruled from the beginning as "black boxes of unknown evil"

aren't they the best... :)

is there no longer place for highly technical nerds understanding all the bolts and nuts of big and small tools/systems/solutions..,?

Dammit, it's morning. Then I get my kinda post nut clarity. Things I thought last night to be a good idea, not anymore. Good that I went to sleep. Phew. New rule, only decide what to do regarding new projects in the morning. The new background of my site is a good example when deciding things tired. What serious dev has such stuff? I dunno, maybe I do leave it for now, site is because many reasons unprofessional. There is a duplicate one with my real name on it. I made a reverse proxy project that replaced http content by interpreting httpd, fixing content length after replacing (else browsers will endlessly load or give error) with support for websocket and buffered content so implemented quite a bit. If I replace retoor with my real name now, you'll see it literally everywhere, I git history and such. Probably even downloaded zip files, I have to see if that doesn't corrupt. This software can also be used to make sure smth is NOT published. Sensitive data you could put a password in it for example so Noone will figure out if you accidently stored a password in git. I check this now by grepping using my common passwords in git. But I use env vars right now for passwords.

Got off topic, no decisions when tired anymore!

This is lead acetate. It looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, yet it’s as toxic as lead.
Have a good day!

I have paid version of GPT now. Kinda accidental, I wanted the API version and that seemed to be smth completely else. Didn't know. I have a lot of opinions / mixed feelings about it so far. Take the imagine generation, this image is kinda perfectly what I wanted. But it took so much iterations and it was forgetting what i've said lines before. Everytime adding text balloons why I said to remove it, then it removes it but generates a complete new image with something else I don't want with it. THan i fix that, and tadaaa, again a text balloon.

This is the question where it is about: is GPT in current state worth the money? I have no idea, I need some more time.

If I hear ONE MORE time "ChatGPT is like Google but better/smarter" I WILL choke a motherfucker to DEATH

I made it

I've been suffering from frequent and random crashes with my Jetbrains products, as well as awful performance.

As it turns out, even with 16GB of RAM, it still needs the swapfile to function properly. After creating an 8BG swapfile, it starts almost instantly and my crashes seem to be resolved.

One day, a friend introduced me to Python, calling it a "friendly programming language for beginners." I remember spending my first few hours writing simple scripts, and though it was challenging, I was hooked. For the first time, I could see the immediate result of my efforts, and it felt incredibly empowering. At 23, I made a bold decision. I started teaching myself programming in earnest while still juggling my other responsibilities. I took online courses, read books, and spent hours practicing. I made countless mistakes and encountered errors that felt insurmountable, but I learned to see them as puzzles to solve. By the time I turned 24, I landed my first job as a junior developer. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Programming taught me not only technical skills but also how to think critically and approach problems methodically.

You use English because it’s the only language you know
I use English because it’s the only language YOU know
We are not the same

I'm all for trans rights but drag racing sounds a bit cruel tbh with the high heels and all it sounds like a perfect recipe to have twisted ankles.

@retoor it's you and me. As they say, from hate to love there is one step

Just getting consistent, plentiful sleep every night fixed 99% of my problems

So there's this place I go to when I sleep sometimes. I call it "The Circus", though it's more like the arcane sanctuary from Diablo II, if the arcane sanctuary was a hip arthouse and shit. Weird place, but I have friends there, they're like oneiric amalgamations of people I know, we all hang out at the Circus from time to time.

Now, each one has their own really bizarre power. One of the girls, for instance, bites off the head of a pidgeon and that heals her and makes her stronger. Think Ozzy Osbourne, but it's actually cutie goth Popeye. Also she's perpetually drunk for some reason.

Anyway, after having a brief reunion at this ornate round table we just happen to have laying around in the kitchen, we go out to hunt. That's the thing we do, we hunt for magical artifacts, and there's these demon gnomes all around trying to fuck us up. They suck, so we fight them with our powers and kung fu, that kinda vibe.

So it was a good hunt, right, but we have like a scoreboard based on mystical prowess and turns out mine is the lowest. Pidgeon Bitter, who is leading my squad, starts mocking me and says "hehe you have no real powers!" and I'm actually mad about that because it's true, I don't have any, I just fly around and do nothing useful in combat.

Anyway, we then bring the artifacts we collected to fucking Zordon, and he's like well done rangers. Turns out bald motherfucker in a tube doesn't discriminate based on mission score, so good on him. Everybody goes to bed, yeah we have bedrooms at the Circus for some reason, and I can't sleep because of what my captain said.

That's when I do something stupid, I think the dream logic here is I'm having a character arc moment or some shit, doesn't matter -- the point is I embark on a hunt all by myself, and I'm overrun by these fucking demon gnomes. I try to fight them with kung fu and escape with this magic crystal I found, but there's too many of them...

And so my true power finally awakens, and it's a fucking explosion. As in, I become a fire elemental, and in the dream this is good because I just cook all the gnomes alive and make off with the artifact, but I wake up before I can run to Pidgeon Bitter and smear my success in her captivating bloodstained drunk ass face.

My thoughts? Fire magic is two-times lame. One, because I was hoping for thunder, or ice, or something edgy like shadow or whatever. But NO, I got fire. Two, it's lame because it's the most uninventive, straight-forward fucking power in a setting where everything is obtuse, so it's out of place. I just go like really really mad and release an explosive pillar of flame, whoa, so original. Also casting this hurts me for some reason and it destroys everything around me.

And given that I've had other dreams of the Circus where it was obliterated and no-one trusts me anymore, I think it's safe to say those were a flash-forward to next season, and what happens next is I just randomly go into BLIND RAGE mode while taking a shit and everyone but me dies. Just a theory.

What is your Circus power? Let us know in the comments below!

Mkay. Let's talk about Luigi Mangione.

Hero or terrorist?

He was one of us, like it or not.

Jestdottii is a hottii.

I miss being a real C++ programmer. Gonna have to make something over Christmas.
