Oh no I'm not handwriting property/key checks and just checking that rows are written to the CSV (since that's not the job of that test, but test of the serialising function)
Dude must be really happy at home 🙄 -
I dig Debian so far. Here’s why I chose it:
- When something corpo doesn’t work on Arch, no one cares. But when it doesn’t work on Debian, it’s a big deal, and corpo people will be fixing it in no time. Good example is VSCod[e|ium] constantly crashing on Fedora: “it was fixed in kernel, all we have to do now is just wait for Fedora to catch up”.
- Complete and utter boringness/stability. When something breaks in Debian, it definitely broke for DenverCoder9 back in 2014 as well, and is easily fixable. You’re never the trailblazer, and with OS stuff that’s a good thing
- Complete and utter compatibility with everything. If you want to install/do X on Debian, someone else already did it and fixed everything for you
- Noble pedigree. “I use arch btw” is a running joke, but “oh, I use Debian” makes people respect your distro choice. Nobody hates Debian
One thing that transitioning people should know about GNU/Linux in general is that you shouldn’t try to replicate your previous experience with Windows/macOS in GNU/Linux.
GNU/Linux is a go kart, or a hot rod. You have to be involved. You have to be ready to tinker/fix things.
But one good thing about hot rods is that if you drive one, CIA can’t kill you with a remote car hack.12 -
> The decision by European Union judges (dictators) to give people the right to have information about them deleted from search engine listings like Google is a scam by the El-lite and their toadies to hide their own background from public knowledge
oh that explains a lot actually...
information for me but none for thee
> This so-called ‘right to be forgotten’ is no more than an example of George Orwell’s ‘Memory Hole’ in which the Ministry of Truth (inversion) re-wrote historical documents to match the ever-changing state propaganda. Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office even ordered Google to remove links to stories about Google removing links to stories. So much information that people have a right to see no longer appears in search engine listings and is essentially deleted – down the Memory Hole7 -
what the flying fuck honestly
I know I can't eat cheese and it's because they make it from GMO bacteria I think...
holy shit. I'm actually not unable to eat ALL sugar. I can eat this one yogurt for some reason.
why the flying fuck are they GMOing fucking sugar. these fuckers are homicidal pieces of shit15 -
Are people still questioning leaving Europe?
I was thinking it would probably be okay in general to stay. But then I see French and Germans are jailing political opponents.
IMO this is a huge red flag. They tried that shit here in the USA and even shot at political opponents. If they had succeeded I wonder if we would be in a civil war.
But Europe doing this concerns me more than Ukraine conflict. This feels like another build up to 1850 in Europe. I dunno, what are your feels over there? I wouldn't want to be in a one party country.25 -
Cars 1 was NOT released 19 years ago. No, it just wasn't. Fuck you, it wasnt. I dont care about your facts. It's all fake. You're litearlly just lying. No it cannot have come out 19 years ago. It just couldn't have, thats way to long ago. You're just weird. Calenders are just wrong11

> A world government dictatorship is due to sit atop a massive global structure of control and 24/7 enslavement and most of its major pillars are included in something called Agenda 21 (since updated to Agenda 2030) which is interweaved with themes of ‘sustainable development’ and ‘biodiversity’ and justified by ‘climate change’.
even the cheesy bond villains are late on their projects, don't you see!5 -
You know what sucks? When AI appears smart but its explaination is so over your head you don't even fully grasp if it is bullshitting or not.
For reference, what the following does is decomposes several runs of a network, takes them as samples, then generates a distribution with those samples. It then applies a fourier transform on the samples, to get the frequency components of the networks derivatives (first and second order), in order to find winning subnetworks to tune, and enforces a gaussian distribution in the process.
I sort of understand that, but the rest is basically rocket science to me.
Starts with an explanation of basic neural nets and goes from there. Most of the meat of the discussion is at the bottom.

Dear KDE Plasma, I'm sorry. I treated you way too harshly, unfairly even. Yes, you was unpolished back in 2018. Assuming you still were did nothing but prove my own ignorance.
Your out-of-the-box polish and support for modern screens, UI scaling, trackpads, smooth scrolling, etc. is unparalleled.3 -
PSYCHIATRY IS WRONG. IT'S A POLITICAL TOOL TO REMOVE DISSIDENCE AND PUNISH OUT OF NORMS BEHAVIOR, EXPLOIT PEOPLE AND EXTRACT WEALTH FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM BY SELLING THEM PILLS.
WE SHOULD KILL THE PSYCHOLOGISTS.

That heart attack when important data isn't showing anymore, and you missed the note as to why, so now you're stressed out because you don't know what and how hard you fucked up
Also, fuck the dude for saying he did the deploy, telling the testers to test and only an hour or 2 later saying he didn't deploy to the right env2 -
What's your take on the Ghimli studio drama.
Here is mine.
So for reminder, apparently shitGPT started generating images (big whoop) and all the normies are using it to mimic their favorite japan cringy anime.
Which apparently isn't to the taste of the anime drawer, who is apparently trying to sue everyone for copying his art style. Including not only chat GPT, but individual users as well.
So:
1. IA is a gadget. It's pretty convenient but if you think it will fundamentally change the fabric of society, you're an idiot.
2. There is no such thing as IntEllECtuAl ProperTy
3. Metallica's singer is a bitchtard. Suing for people to steal your music is the opposite of metal, retard. Same shit for the japan retard, i'll never watch your ghimlee shit now. Princess mononoke my balls, more like streissand so close no matter how far my dick. I hate you and I want your nails removed and then your finger dipped in salt.14 -
Usually I come here to share rants/negativity but this time I wanna share an happy moment I had yesterday as a programmer.
In lots of instances I struggled to work on personal projects: I feel the desire to code cool stuff but I've often self-sabotaged myself by doing stuff like:
- self-enforcing "one man agile methodologies" with tasks, issue boards and lately time tracking
- forcing myself to do long study/research periods about the language/technologies I wanna use before writing the first line of code (and when I was able to actually end my research and get to code most of the stuff I researched was forgotten since cramming information is not effective on the long run)
- forcing myself to stick with all the "best practices" under the sun and to setup countless tools (linters, CI, unit testing...) before even getting a working POC
Usually all these stupid self imposed rules ended up in me procrastinating or pushing trough stuff struggling with headache after headache when coding actually used to feel a mostly fun pursuit to me.
Took lots of time to recognize this monster I created into my head but finally yesterday I did and I gave myself permission to:
- Start programming with just the very basics of the language (while reading a book on said language on the side at a relaxed pace, I can always come back later to improve my code as I learn more)
- Add stuff (unit testing, complex frameworks, CI/CD...) only when I need it
- Do a very basic planning (like a text files listing "must have" features and "nice to have features") and avoid issue boards and stuff, I'm working on a hobby project not on a company or a big OSS projects
It's been so long since the last time I had a programming session where I spent most time actually writing code and not researching and overthinking stuff and it felt great.
