I was asked to work more in the backend. I came in as a frontender/ux’er. Had to do one small thing in mvc and now everyone is like whaaat, he likes that? Let’s make him the new ios developer. Yes!
*One of us! One of us! One of us!*

Meanwhile i’m going like, sure i like a challenge and i have a curious attitude but i had a tremendous amount of help from a coworker here?

Tired of everything.

Wish I was skilled enough to bag this

I think GDPR is a pain in the ass but my employer has lied to my doctors about my medical information so suddenly I really like GDPR.

ISP throttlin

so I'm cancelling
fuck yeah I'm cancelling
eat it sick fucks

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.

We're the problem.

Gotta say, Arduino IDE is a hobbyware at best, but in my not so humble opinion, is a completely pile of chocolate pudding.

OMG, it can only target one type of hardware at a time. It has to apparently be completely reconfigured when you use different hardware. Libraries and the like that are loaded for one board cannot be loaded and available if you are building for a different board. I mean seriously, what the ... is wrong with these developers.

Imagine if Xcode would allow only one library load for any given hardware target.

💩ware.

Don't get me going with the editor... the inept "debugger" which NEVER works.

They need to fix this hobbyware or shut it down.

we should archive these posts, I'm gonna miss the choice bullshit when this forum finally gives out

What would you do if you found out your child was a homosapien?

It is over now, Devrant!

I am officially lifting platform certified!!!

So it turns out that Rust's import resolution is Really Fucking Complicated
https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Screens...
It supports glob re-exports and circular glob imports, conflicts are valid if you don't use them or if they ultimately point at the same name, paths may pass the same module multiple times. It's very convenient to use, I never needed to fight with it, but it's borderline impossible to correctly implement.

ah fuck I think I got CTS. I should learn Cursorless.

Carpeted toilet seat.

I vibecoded ransomware that replaced files with their hashes instead of encrypting them and now Raytheon begs me to accept $12M ransom help

Because of all the injustice done to a regular folk by the banks and megacorporations, as well as the parts of government that value those two higher than doing the right thing for the regular people, piracy is all but justified.

For me, piracy is the default option. When it comes to stuff made by a megacorp, the first thing I do is see if I can pirate that. I would argue that piracy should be the default option for everyone.

No, you're not depriving corpo staff/hires of their salaries by pirating. If a megacorp is not paying them, it's not your fault.

I only pay for content if I want to support the creators. I was pirating since I got my first computer, I do pirate right now, and I will pirate in the future. I will advocate for piracy.

Just had a thought: Instead of LLVM modeling and optimizing an IR and then backends having to optimize again for actual machine code lowering, wouldn't it be possible to unite both under one unified system?

If you model everything as one huge and complex state machine with a bunch of predefined "micro ops", couldn't you write an optimizer which lowers to the mathmatical presentation of the target platform's instructions?

I.e. the actual identities of the instructions don't matter. What matters is that the input ir is `(x + 3) & 0xff` and the optimizer tries to fit a sequence of instructions to that so that it "solves the system". It doesn't know x86 `andb`; it knows that `andb` takes an input, maybe truncates it, does a bitwise or, and stores the output into a reg

That way you wouldn't have to write complex target dependent backends. Just declare the sequence of actiosn each instruction does and llvm would automatically be able to produce very high quality machine code

I think there's a phd worth of research here but helllll no I'm not touching compilers again lol

Remember when I told you that American idioms are always about the money? Well:
- Normal languages: “I’ll remember this”
- Americans: “It will live in my head rent-free”

I’m actually happy I just came here to take a look at old rants. I wish I knew better times were coming for me and I would’ve taken it easy.
Don’t lose hope everyone, survive!

I forgot why open space bothered me in the past, too much noises...
No I remember and I need a new headset with a very good anc

Svelte is if an unfinished sneeze was a framework.
