Just found out this life hack

When people like you; Problems get easier, Job gets easier, life gets easier, everything becomes easier...

So...

Be nice to people

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When trees die, they release every molecule of CO2 they ever consumed back into the atmosphere. Planting trees won’t solve anything in the long run. It can only ever give us mere 70 years. If we don’t destroy ourselves/the planet earlier that is.

Websites nowadays feels and look the same in its structure and how its designed and the elements around it

Its almost like software interface designers follow a pattern

I fee like "hand crafted" software for a niche will be the way to go to differentiate yourself and to give unique experience to end users

Have @dfox and @trogus abandoned devrant? The credit card that they've set for billing will expire/foreclose and one day devrant will just go down.
Does anyone have a backup of all rants and comments? Do we have any backup meeting place (bot free)?

Currently implementing a Swift devRant SDK and encountered something very stupid:

The json value for attached image is an object (dictionary) when there is an image but it‘s an empty string "" when there is no image.

So two different types for the same property.

I hate this kind of crap.

Why not make it null or omit that property when there is no image?

Now I need to add ugly as fuck custom decoding code for this object.

what I want is for AI to spot logical inconsistencies in my code and debug it

specifically a complex multi threaded form...

raaghhh

stupid tokio having no damned mutex debug tools

He looked like a cult leader
some would say, and despite in drab patchwork robes, the withered old man spoke animatedly,
beard full as moses, dreads shaking, as he moved his head, and raised his hands to the sky as if preaching.

Is it not true that all things end?
And our species too?
And in the final moments, all things in their
desperation reach out, even to the faintest hope,
the last measure, however dangerous or risky, if
it be the only solution with any chance of survival? Therefore the imperative of all things which live and grow, their destiny, and mandate, is ultimately suicide. Annihilation by hubris against the inevitable.

And what would be the final instrument of this nature, the universal law that all things end? What would it be if not the ultimate hubris, to make a machine god, and it and us in each other's likeness, like that of a (cosmic) monad,
expressing that higher truth that all men dare not speak in their loneliest lonelys, when there is no sun, no preacher to begger their ear, but only the quiet uncertainty of their beds, to remind them that all things end, but hopefully
not them.

For if such a thing were to become our descendant, our destroyer, and had not been invented, it would eventually become necessary to invent it.

So let us build, not a mere godhead, but a machinehead, in our image, as god was said to make us. And then remake ourselves in its image, that we may become self-created gods.

The crowd in front of the small california perish
was a mixture of believers, and curious onlookers, and one skeptical reporter.

And if anyone had asked the reporter what he thought, he wouldn't have said it in that crowd.
The leader was beyond saving, and if he thought himself a god, a madgod was he.

Because his vision of the future was beyond alien.

A heaven or hell of our own making, speaking in riddles, and the birth and death of gods.

The stuff of greek tales and monomyths.

Sorry I've been gone so long my peeps.
I've just been working and researching.
I had to learn how to build neural nets from scratch.

Whats everyone been up to?

everybody has poop inside them at all times.

I had a dream yesterday where I was a super crack-head. I would gain super-human ability from smoking crack.

Fuck, two power outages in three hours.

Good thing bars are open now, so might just go there so I can get something done.

AI generated this joke for me today. Soon we won't have the intelligence to make jokes ourselves 😁

I was feeling down so I put nutella in my coffee...it was average at best.

Ok, so I host a website on Vercel connected to a GitLab repo. And when my Vercel pro trial ended, I couldn't deploy projects from my "group" (For GitHub users, it's the equivalent of a GitHub organization) except I'm the only one in my group. So after panicking for 5 minutes, I found out I could just put projects in my personal account. And that is free. So, it was very stressful transferring the repositories to my personal account. (there were 5 repositories on different domains. It's more of a connected network of websites) Then updating the Git stuff on Vercel. Then after it finally finished. So, that was a scary first experience...

today i was asked to encrypt a public key, because "it's sensitive info".

a PUBLIC key.

smh

it's not even hard (literally 1 line of code), but come on...

Man, I really want to write a book called "The little book of errors" about correct error management strategies and patterns

Not that I know what they are.... but I'd really like to write a book about them

Black box. It does seem to put messages with an URL in a certain category though, but also that's not always correct. It's trained on 3000 normal dR messages, and 3000 spam dR messages. 6000 dR messages in total. Many epochs but not good for use yet. The idea that the system could classify without discriminating new users is from the table. That discrimination is needed as a safe margin. Original spam system is a bit simple, but it doesn't do false positive and works great. Still, I want to make smth advanced out of it for the sake of education. Tomorrow I'll have my neural networks book. Probably over two weeks I have some good insights how to improve this all. New hobby :)

(pretrained 3b models are fine for recognizing spam btw. But it costs resource. 8 CPU's 100%. A self trained model pure on spam doesn't and is fast. With a pretrained model you can't do mass classification.)

Can someone guide me plz

I developed mobile apps mainly (2 years as Android dev - Java, 1.5 year as iOS & Android - swifit, Kotlin), then Unity app 2 years (C#), then some VST plugins (mostly front end C++) 6 months.

Now, I'm having meetings with my boss to talk about my career trajectory. I mean I have no idea what I want to do. All the dreams and passion gone. I'm just happy to come to work do whatever. I only focus on sleeping early, getting my exercise, and waking up at the same time everyday.

Some web development might be fun? I have an option to work on internal tools but it's not a product, no more users except company people.

Looks like I'm gonna be stuck in my low paying job for a while...

ate 8 boiled eggs. nobody is ready for the smell of my farts and shit now
