Rhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My manager is back from paternity leave and immediately got 4 hours of meetings :&

I don't wanna be in this current role. Get me outta here.

I switched to ubuntu!

Anybody else doing music? I recently dived deep into chords progression and unusual meters, and I thought that would dramatically improve my creativity, but instead if I can understand better what I was already doing, I feel I lost in spontaneity

using macOS is an exercise in obedience.

Week : 84 (Year 1 )

How is the weekend going?

What is a fantasy that is insanely hot to you, but you know you could never pull off in reality?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/14638873

when you figure out a solution to something, do you think it's you who figured it out or did "inspiration" come to you somehow, out of nowhere, with the answer?

Why has nobody built an actually GOOD (s)ftp client yet? It's sort of crazy that Filezilla is STILL the first result on google (my AV correctly identified the installer as adware because it has by-default-enabled adware downloads) and then the next is windows-only.

I almost wish there was a nicely made Electron app (or - much better - qt) just so the UI could be fucking acceptable.

Is it time for me to start my next unfinished project??

I never understood the programming language discussion thing. In modern programming, all you do is gluing APIs together, no matter if they're third party or built-in. My JS code is literally 95% fetch() followed by querySelector.

All built-in APIs that do something useful are just linking C++ modules. If you're not doing stupid shit, Python is exactly as fast as C++ or Rust.

The only scenario where speed matters is algos. Guess what? You should write your algos in C and link them to your Node/Python/Go/whatever code. And don't even get me started on reinventing algos. Do you really think you can write an algo in one evening that will be more efficient than what the guy whose PhD thesis it was a part of?

Just because some engine parts require the precision only a million-dollar CNC machine can provide, doesn't matter you have to cut the whole car out of a solid block of high-performance engine block alloy.

Remember kids, sorting array in Python is always faster than sorting array in C, because Python's sort was written by someone else who's smarter than you, went through years of scrutiny and iteration, and doesn't have stupid novice algo complexity errors.

Grow up.

not @b2plane...

It's that time again because it needs to be remembered

AI IS FUCKING RETARDED.
I would literally be ashamed to be one of those multibillionaire companies giving out trash or be ashamed to be recognized as someone which invested in it.

Jesus.

I tried out every model, local and online.
It's fucking trash for anything more than a preschool special kid could do.

I literally had it to code and it can't do anything beyond basic code without the need for me to supervise everything and patch this disaster everywhere. It feels like having that dumbass junior just arrived doing code and having to review every line because it could contain a death trap.

I tried to make it do a dieting plan.
I literally gave it everything.
Macros, kcal, a restricted list of 15 foods and asked to do some bulk cooking list to make the diet later.
It can't do basic math to figure out macros and not only, it fucking halluicinates like a crazy LSD druggie even doing a few lines of that shit.
It literally invents calories counts, macros and shit out of his stupid ass.

I tried literally to bring it by the hand in doing the tasks and it still fails.

You might say: Hey it's a "Language" model.

No, it doesn't matter. Amy discussion besides hi dumb fuck how are you soon turns into an AI mind trip where it churns and repeats stupid stuff.

No, it won't replace anyone anytime soon.
It's just a fucking joke

We have had a bad release a few weeks ago and my task is to propose a better flow. We just had a meeting and now I'm writing a document for it.

All I can think of them the big boss saying "looks excellent" and then default back to the old way in less than 3 weeks from now.

I don't like Elementor for WordPress. The stuff it does for caching and performance sake causes hard to debug problems that the non-technical users it is marketed toward could almost certainly never figure out.

As mentioned in a previous rant, I'm not super happy about available graphical (s)ftp options.

Tried the command line and honestly, it's better than anything else.

The concepts are simple, and the tools are even better IMO. Being able to `put *` from a folder is great.

Wait, am I actually meant to read the code in your review? I just skimmed it and hoped it works. I also think you're an idiot so I accept these are conflicting positions to hold.

Started reading during meetings. The description of `elegance` vs `marketable` in "Hacking: The art of exploitation" hits home. Probably also why I hate the client work I need to do so much right now as well, there is nothing elegant about react

Thanks for the recommendation @retoor

Can't post comments under a rant for some reason, try to comment -> nothing happens.

Anyone else have this problem?

Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance; Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history; Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level; Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.
