Yo @Lensflare, JoyRant beta expired again. It says I should update my iOS to 17 to continue testing, but my phone only supports 16. What should I do?53

I don't care, skeuomorphism like iOS 6 or window 7 aero was the peak of design and you can't convince me otherwise2

when you end up in the ER with excruciating pain early on a Saturday morning from persistent inflammation from chronic job stress and getting sick more than normally, you gotta change jobs.
no amount of money is worth your health.
(the drugs they gave me were pretty fun though, but not something I ever want to go through again)6 -
In my latest installment of "Swift, WTF?", we look at the "if" conditional in terms of the Swift convention of:
if let x = y { /* ... */ }
so what this does :
1. declares x in the scope of the braced code
2. sets x to y (an ahem, "optional")
3. decides if x is not *nil*, then executes the braced code.
This is very similar in both the visual and the operation to the C code of:
if (int x = y) { /* ... */ }
1. declares x in the scope of the braced code
2. sets x to the value of y
3. if x is not zero, then executes the braced code
which is considered *exceptionally* poor style.
Neither the C nor the Swift construct result in a legitimate boolean value of "true" or "false", although C comes closer than Swift.
In the Swift case the *imaginary* "nil" value has to be interpreted as "false" and thus there must be extra code is for the conditional to check on whatever constitutes the **actual** value of nil in Swift and then set the condition to "false".
(remember boys and girls, "optionals" are not real, they are an imaginary language construct of Swift and have no legitimate counterpart in the CPU operations with memory and registers)
At least in the case of C, if the value of x is zero or NULL (which is 0) then it is technically a "false" which in C is 0. Regardless, it is really poor programming and anyone doing that on my team gets an ear full.
But in Swift this obfuscation of code is common and condoned! Well, why not put more of the program in the condition of the if? In fact, stuff the whole thing in there.. why not? 🙄
This just reenforces my opinion that Swift is not a bird but the stuff that comes out of the underside of the bird. 🐦💩24 -
lmao remember that time I worked for a very respectable payment company for 2 months and made banks before they told me i couldn't use linux (like fuck off lmao) so I quit.
Turns out they were willfully moving drug and whore money lmao

How is it possible to be busy all day yet feel like time evaporated into a vacuum as if someone called delete(hours) but left not trace?1

There was this one time when I was asked to create screenshots of our game for marketing purposes.
The game supported solely the 480i mode.
Once I delivered the screenshots, PM bitched about them being !good, because of the visible interlace.

Ugh, eyes irritated as fuck, can't find my sun glasses on strength. Can't find regular glasses either. I'm sure they are not here. I have to remove lenses, my day is basically ruined.9

Typescript being built around js forced the creators to build a really powerful and flexible type system so much that no other language type system can compare to.11

What would I do if I traveled back in time? No, not buying bitcoin. It's probably eating datura seeds or other poison. or burning myself with acid. or drinking bleach. or blinding myself with that powerful laser pointer I had. maybe then my emotionless, cold stone wall of a mother could show me some affection and empathy. she for sure didn't when I broke my finger, so maybe the severity of the injure is where it's at?

Codeium completely changed to windsurf whatever a fucking windsurf is. But the worst thing, it removed the statistics page that I dominated. Fuckers. It was cool having a 3rd party having some positive stats about you. The new profile page is private, only for yourself and is pure focussed on code generation converting my account from big numbers to no data available. Sad, was so proud.
Also, I had some personal communication with them before, but that's not available anymore either. Again, a nice company turned to some heartless corporate shell by investors.
Sad sad sad, was long ago I was so enthusiastic about a company. Traitors!7 -
Week: 94 (Year 1 )
How is the weekend going?
Question: What’s a dead giveaway of how old you are without giving the actual number?

Kotlin's existence is a global disaster! It's like a piece of dog shit! When I try to reference a Kotlin-developed JAR like 'openai-java-core' in my IntelliJ Maven project, it always fails to load properly. The system keeps showing me 'Cannot resolve symbol 'Xxx''. Kotlin shouldn't exist at all! It deserves to be eradicated!6

Shit.
Thought I had turned off the stove after making dinner but seems it stayed on.
Thankfully the kitchen automatically turns off after a set time, so only the pan and a couple nearby things were lost.
Still, seems some electric wire in the extractor got wrecked because the kitchen line breaker is down and won't go up.
Waking up to your house full of smoke really sends you into panic mode...20
