I don't really understand the flow that my senior dev wants to do for graphql. Normally graphql should be 1 request for your data with what you need but this is proposed flow.

1) Get all custom fields/columns of "products"
2) Append the custom fields in the frontend by all hardcoded default fields in my object
3) Fetch the relationships
4) Fetch the custom fields of the relationships
5) Add hardcoded default fields + Append that to my "master object"
6) Fetch the custom fields of "secondary key" that is not included in step 4 or step 1
7) append that to my master object
8) Fetch data

So the frontend needs to be rebuild the database structure and send 4 (or 5) graphql requests to load in 1 table... I don't know how to describe it anymore lol

This flow has to be redone for every table

Reddit is so very dead... Today, I read a post in /r/webdev or /r/rust, not sure which one, but both are full with AI bull, that was clearly written by AI. Then most answers were also clearly written by AI. And some of them had answers written by AI.

I wish that was the dead internet theory. But that requires bots to answer to bots. I believe those are people who answer other people, by putting a few bullet points into AI and have it generate their comment.

And yes, I think so little of my fellow humans that I do strongly believe that most of them are unaware that they answering AI with AI.

Help me out, am I right wing or left wing?

- I am okay with closed borders and throwing people out who are here illegally.
- I am even okay with open borders and letting everyone in who wants to come.
- I am not okay with dozens over dozens of ways of staying in a country and becoming a citizen after arriving illegally which are just a backdoors, so that we can still claim that we don't have open borders while they are defacto open.

Getting this strange bug in Chrome where any div is readonly-editable (you can click and a cursor will appear, but you can't edit the text)

Either my install is bugged or Chrome devs are becoming exactly as skilled as Crowdstrike, AWS and Cloudflare devs.

Another coding test that takes 2 hours.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Gamers should boycott Nvidia.

They abandoned us for making crypto mining machines, leaving gamers with expensive and hard to get cards.

They abandoned us for making AI bubble machines, leaving gamers with expensive and hard to get cards AND crashing our economy.

No more Nvidia cards!

I know u guys don't care but I chose to go with TOML for lights and entities eg triggers, enemies, player spawn, etc.. and IQM. Plus it'll be a FPS engine, just like Quake (no)!

devRant is crawling again. devRanters are truly the members of society that face the most unjust lives.

Things that we should collectively refuse to do while job searching:

- AI interviews and live coding sessions
- Working with recruiters who don't know shit about tech
- "What is your Github" (I don't use github, retard, they're microsoft. Beside, I don't have a strong portefolio because I had an actual job, you should try it).

My website runs on Oracle Cloud's free tier.

Your website runs on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, sitting behind a CloudFlare load balancer, and it's up and down like a whore's drawers.

We are not the same.

I don't even know if it's worth reviewing dynamic programming problems on Leetcode.

If a company gave me this problem with the 10 years of experience I have, what are they even trying to gauge from me?

First it was Amazon region-wide service issues. Now it's Cloudflare having issues.

Fuck sake man.

Fun Java test:

Without looking up anything, answer the following question:

Which of the following variable identifiers is legal in Java and why?

1) float $50.00;
2) float $50_00;
3) float 50;
4) float else;

Offset pagination is one of the biggest collective failures in software engineering.

Who wakes up one morning yearning to visit page 7218 of 100000 in the dataset?

No one, right? Because that’s not how it’s supposed to work. That’s what the search feature is for. Not that developers don’t fuck it up too, but that’s the not the point of this rant.

The truth is, most developers are lazy and don’t want to properly handle stuff. It’s even made worse by ORMs, where some dumb ass will use Django to make a shitty API without a care in the world about the underlying database.
Then after a few months of ever increasing data, they start experiencing very slow queries and response times.

Gee, I wonder what it could be! Could it be that the DB is having to go through hundreds of rows just to return the 100001st row? 

Designers also defaulting to Page 1 of 2322222 UI like the NPCs they are, is a big problem.

Pagination UI, if not done right, is a performance nightmare masquerading as a feature, solving a user problem that doesn't exist.

Fuck whoever came up with this bullshit.

I’ve had 3 side gigs where my task was to speed up the system and it always ended up being an issue with pagination. Once worked on a project where the dashboard toook 8 minutes. Yes, you read that right. 8 minutes to load. The company had accepted it as normal until a new manager joined and said, fuck that. Brough me onboard to unfuck the mess. No issue with Django devs, but bro, learn how to deal with databases properly for fuck's sake.

Before you came at me with, “well, what if I want to give users the ability to jump between pages”. Bro, that’s what search is for! If search is not allowing users to access the exact data they want, then it’s broken.
Pages are not deterministic anyway, because page 4 today won’t have the same data tomorrow.

I just fucking hate badly implementation pagination. Fucks up my day.

As already somewhere else mentioned, even a 200,-/month paying user means loss for chatgpt. So theur business is not a little bit non-sustainable.

How will this play out? Bevause if that's true, they could never ask the price it needs and still have users.

Anthropic will be profitable by end of 2028, but that's not weird if I see so many people saying the have cloud max. But still, it has a way to go.

that feel when you bought something years ago and today you realized it's more modular than you thought

awww hell yeah

like little christmas

Hi y'all! I got question, for my engine map format (the map editor will be blender/blockbench) should I just use a GLTF that contains every node and extras for light and custom properties or code a blender plugin that exports a TOML like:
# === MAP ===
name = "E1M1"
description = "At Doom's gate"

# --- Objets ---
[[objects]]
path = "assets/models/tree01.obj"
position = [10.5, 0.0, -3.2]
rotation = [0.0, 90.0, 0.0] # pitch, yaw, roll in degrees
scale = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

[[objects]]
path = "assets/models/coin_gold.obj"
position = [5.0, 1.0, 2.5]
rotation = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
scale = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

[[objects]]
path = "assets/models/rock_large.obj"
position = [-2.3, 0.0, 4.8]
rotation = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
scale = [1.0, 1.0, 1.0]

# --- Static lights ---
[[lights]]
type = "point" # "point", "directional", "spot"
position = [0.0, 5.0, 0.0] # spot or point
direction = [0.0, -1.0, 0.0] # spot or directional
color = [1.0, 0.9, 0.7] # RGB, 0.0 to 1.0
intensity = 1.0
radius = 10.0 # influence radius
angle = 45.0 # angle for spot

[[lights]]
type = "directional"
direction = [1.0, -1.0, 0.0]
color = [0.8, 0.8, 1.0]
intensity = 0.6

# --- Spawn points (user-added triggers) ---
[[spawn_points]]
name = "PlayerStart"
position = [0.0, 0.0, 5.0]
rotation = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]

[[spawn_points]]
name = "EnemySpawn01"
position = [15.0, 0.0, -3.0]
rotation = [0.0, 180.0, 0.0]

Gooood morning, wood chuck chuckers! It's cooooding tiiime!

It's coooold out there! It's cold out there every day! What is this, Miami beach?

Nice job boys, you're playing yesterday's tape.

https://static.molodetz.nl/dr.menti... and https://static.molodetz.nl/dr.menti... are updated.
- Sorted DATE DESC.
- Removed duplicates.
- Added multiple mentions in one comment.
As requested by @SoldierOfCode and @Lensflare.

Around every 5-7 minutes the files will be updated with new data. Could speed this up actually.

You can find source code at: https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

No async stuff, let's not kill the server. Python native.

OK, so Chatgpt is ditching the EM dashes. Sad, because that's how we easily could recognize the idiots. Also it's not new at all to let Chatgpt drop the EM dashes as been stated in article. I have a very detailed analysis about my writing and it copies it perfectly. So, they're selling us a placebo. Idiots. Also, for high quality information they relied on 1900's books? All the shit that came after that is a bullshit indeed. Not surprised...

Companies these days have this weird fetish where they take all the best nerds with the best grades from colleges and then only accept those.

It's now the opposite of what it used to be. No humility, no 'average Joe'. That stuff belongs to the 90's, it seems. Now we have a bunch of pink unicorn overachievers and the rest of the people just can't catch a break. lol

There are exactly three variations of the % symbol:

% percent, 100
‰ per mille, 1000
‱ permyriad, 10000
and per cent mille, 100000, doesn’t have a symbol anymore, just an abbreviation: pcm

We can’t even go into the other direction and reduce the number.
per deca, 10, could be % without the second circle, like °/ but it doesn’t exist as one character.

Got hands-on with algebraic data types for the first time ever while studying F# today. I can see the draw, but I don't really give a shit. Why? Cus 99% of the classes I'm going to work with on a daily basis are still gonna be

DatabaseReadWriteBaseImplementation2 {
sequentialIntegerID: string
}

FUCK U FUCK U MY DAY WENT FINE UNTIL I ATE MY FLAN AND IT RURNED OUT FREEZED SO ITS NOT GOOD ANYMORE AAAAAA FUCK U

Management have become awkwardly moist over Google AI Studio in the last few days.

Everything goes behind payment walls regarding AI. Claude pro sucks, codex got limits, perplexity limited file uploads, I can hit daily limits with gemini that I didn't have before.. It started already with the limited deep search everywhere. The problem is, I'm still paying the same but got less. Wtf.

yay, the deadline has been pushed back to an undefined time next year. Senior dev admitted that his approach is wrong and we will work on documentation & set clear expectations with the shareholders & define what endpoints the project needs... Literally those things I did warn him about and he ignored previously.

The stress is now a lot lower, sadly still a lot of stress from my private life :[

I've achieved a new definition of "one shotting code".

There's this JS framework named tsoa or something?

I just take a look at existing API code, make subtle copies of it to create new APIs, don't even test in my local, and straight deploy to production.

And it works just fine, and no AI involved.

I feel like a god.

The iPhone Pocket (£220) was inspired by "a piece of cloth", apparently.

Bullshit.

The longer version resembles a type of knot referred to in nautical parlance as a "cunt splice".

There's your inspiration.

The iPhone Cunt Splice™ was lovingly crafted in Japan by some pretentious arse. "When stretched, the open textile subtly reveals its contents."

Perverts.
