I didn't do it. I chickened out.
Fasting raises my heart rate. Not sleeping did raise it too. ODing on caffeine raises it as well. I decided that combining the three is a sure way to kick the bucket

Being french is okay for adults, that's their own personal choice but I don't think it's appropriate for children

I am so happy to be part of the community. Can anyone clarify this picture for me. Thanks

Google just integrated Gemini AI into Chrome DevTools, and it’s a groundbreaking upgrade! 🚀

AI-driven debugging, smarter code optimization, and built-in security insights—this is changing the game for developers.

If you start your own company today,

what product/services would you make?

the dark age?

more like the privacy age!

Every once in a while the volume for my default audio output decides to max out on login. How this can happen is apparently a mystery. Other than its a shitty OS called Windows 11. Windows 10 never did this shit, or if it did it was fixed quickly and never did it again. So there is always a non-zero chance of logging into windows and getting ear raped if you have headphones when playing any audio.

Enter SetVol.exe. Apparently open source and can be run in a batch script. So now I have this kludge of every time I login a task is run to call my bat file to fix this garbage. This is the worst case of quality control I have seen in any supported product. Not a single MS helper in any channel online has had a good fix for this. This is a fundamental design issue in how they handle volume settings. Absolute garbage.

Everyone from ma and pa to audio engineers are screaming about this. How? How does it get this bad?

Day 35 of starving myself to death challenge. I didn’t sleep and I’m wasted, so what does it mean? It means LETS FUCKING overdose on caffeine from diet Red Bull and Diet Coke, eat nothing and spend the whole day head down, death grips blasting, working on my project
Let’s hit derealization by sensory and mental overload 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
And by the evening… oh, come sweet sweet slumber

Why yes we have these nine types of transactions mocked. See? The factories make CSV data just like we get in those gigantic CSV files every day that are like ultra-important or whatever.

Wait, you want to actually use the data? to create records? Like build a record like we do in the code? Nonononono that won’t work! Why? Why!? You want us to actually MOCK the data, like make it look real AND MAKE IT PASS VALIDATION? Are you CRAZY!? THERES LIKE THIRTY COLUMNS THERE! No way. No no no way. If you want to do that, you’re on your own. But make sure you don’t break anything with your “improvements” or it’s on you.

Also, all of this is going away soon, so make sure you don’t do anything unnecessary, like mocking all that data. (It’s been “going away” for well over a year now…)

Sigh stuck again

Day -3

A wise man once said

"No I insist after you "

exactly

Every ticket I work on involves some nebulous, undocumented BS nobody can satisfactorily explain. And worse, even if it’s something I’ve already worked with before, it’s almost invariably different from the last time I saw it, so it’s still nebulous BS. It’s like I’m walking through Steven King’s Mist, except the bugs are more metaphorical.

Everything is spec’d out, except for the views, and half of the logic. But the rest is still technically covered because tests indirectly call the code, so that means it won’t crash right? 😅 Also, the tests that are there are also fucking nebulous, such as calling helper methods that are heavily abstracted, or that are written to test completely different things but kinda sorta work for this too if you set things up just right.

I’m going insane.

Inspired from me getting blown the fuck out earlier, how do you keep up to date about new features and versions of your tech stack with minimum effort?
