trying to fix a bug without idiot proof steps to reproduce so i can reproduce it

fml

fuck mobile

something I wrote in JavaScript built on top of the exact same API as has been reproduced in rust by a library now

rewrote it in rust but 1/5th the features cuz lazy

has three times the bugs as the original version... like... before my bug fixing

is it rust. is rust the problem

Remember, the future belongs to those who can work with AI, not against it.

happiness[0] → array empty

can society, friends, jobs stop shaming me for having purpose on my life

it's so strange

Yay devrant works again

Did something happened to skyRant?

A weird toast notification appeared, and now nothing loads and the message no network appears (I do have network, in case you were wondering).

Had bad depression on Friday and Saturday. Really really really bad. Like planning stupid shit bad. Stupid shit in my life. Whatever...

So my friend says he doesn't feel well unless he uses St. Johns Wort. I used to use it 10 years ago, but kind of forgot about it. It did help. Well now I use risperidone to manage depression with bipolar. I got some wort and took it sunday. Huge difference in 3 hours. Way TOO high response. I already posted about this before.

Today I go see Dr to check if this is okay. I told him I don't want to stop. It seems to have leveled out. He said risperidone with wort can produce mania. However, he said reduce amount of wort to 1 every other day. So it won't have as high of peaks. Cool cool. A solution that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Also a doctor who listens. We had a lot to talk about. I would golf with him if I knew how to golf. Yes, he is that cool.

He told me a funny thing last time I was there. He said you are old enough to need a prostate check, but they do them chemically now. Then he says, but for $20 we can work something else out. Anyway, I like him.

I also noticed before this that caffeine wasn't doing shit for me anymore. But today I had a low kick espresso coffee (1 cup). Wort + risperidone + caffeine is different world now. So I gotta be careful of caffeine now too.

For a long time I was so depressed and didn't realize it. I was hoping I wouldn't wake up in the morning. I don't know how I got to this point. I have great things going for me. So I am making lists of warning signs I experienced when I was very low. Probably going to get some counseling too.

I knew I needed to improve things on some level, but no motivation to do so before this week. I bought a treadmill intending to connect it to my computer and control it. Treadmill has been sitting in a room at my house since january untouched. I keep buying electronics and never setting them up. I don't even know if they work. Just stupid shit like that.

If you are in the shit, then talk to someone. If you don't know you are in the shit then ask someone. If you have to shit all the time you are probably @b2plane.

Seriously people. You are worth the trouble of finding out how to fix your shit.

Anyway ManicOne out.

Therapists are too bloody expensive. I can get just as good insight on my psyche by using the goddamm Instagrams and letting the algorithm pick up on my personality.
Fuck, I'm drunk. Nine hours of meetings will get a bloke to see the bottom of a bottle or six.

I want to 3d print this badly. It freaks me out

I've talked about the privileges of being a dev, before. The following is not a rant btw, just me appreciating my line of work.

Back in 2018, when I was 2 YOE as a Laravel developer, this thought crossed my mind, what if I remained a Laravel dev all my career and never got a job in another tech stack?

I thought I could make some demo projects but no one would pay me for that. And on top of that, I'd have to start from scratch since that Laravel experience wouldnt count for, let's say C# dev job.

Is this the "comfort zone" most devs get trapped in? And what if I get trapped in it as well?

It was my legit concern back then.

But whatever happened after that, happened and here we are.

I am now a React + PostgreSQL dev, and because of my freelancing, I'm getting pushed into becoming a Vue JS + C# full stack dev, all the while I'm getting paid for it. My research times are also billable.

I just find myself in a privileged position where my career and skills will now never be stagnant, and as a result of that, I get to earn my bread and butter.

I just love being a dev sometimes :)

when will my brain become one with rust already

sigh

My scripts are made to be stupid-proof. Turns out I should have written them extra-stupid-proof.

How did devRant find it's initial users, in other words, solve the network cold-start problem?

For my startup, my concern is that users join only when other users / content creators / friends are on a platform, and content creators join platforms that have users... Any tips on solving this?

How do I make money through humor?
I am getting better at amusing myself.

For instance. I get take and bake pizza from Papa Murphys. The pizza says to cook at 425 or 450. I always cook it at 420 at what I have determined to be "perfect" times. So a Papa Murphys pepperoni is to be cooked for 11 minutes at 420 F. Literal perfection with not too dark crust, and not too light. All my homies says it great.

WarpCLI got me busy. It's not a replacement for r, but damn what is it intuitive. Instead of going like a maniac, it will ask you a lot. You're basically just discussing code all the time, one of my favorite things. It was not boring at all.

I made a scammer scammer. It'll be very naive and will waste a lot of time of scammers. Marcus is a middle aged man that does not know how the navigation of his Brabus works. I'm sure they want to help.

It took ~2 hours to burn trough 5,-. 5,- is really a lot, normally i average on 1.50 per day and that's not even only my usage. Their subscription is actually just the same price as Claude. It also used Claude for this project. But yeah, they have a good deal with Claude, because I don't use the Claude API much because it's insanely rate limited.

This app is really worth a try, I am surprised. Especially because it let's you check everything step by step.

I knew this stuff would become popular, invented it seven months ago while working on r which is still my swish army knife.

@jonathands was so nice to share coupons from WarpCLI and I gave it a try.

The system did literally exactly what I wanted. I just wanted to convert my `r` from c to Python.
That was quite the project, but it was all done within a hour. I still have to test a bit better though,
but if I look at the README.md it seems that it really found every functionallity it has. Readline support and stuff,
--stdin flag, a flag not to highlight, support for multiple LLM's etc.

While this was just for fun, see here details about how much the tool achieved in around a hour and how the colab went:
https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/...

And it's cool that you can convert a whole project with your free coupon.

See https://retoor.molodetz.nl/retoor/... for the functionallity of this app.

WarpCLI vibe tool formatted another vibe tool, much older than him. But r was always ment to be small / a real tool.
WarpCLI comes with very sophisticated well listening model.

I actually have more that I want to convert. I wonder how good it is in wren :P

But a tool like this, that's probably how my future will look like as a programmer.

I mean, we just converted a few weeks work in a hour or so.

* AI hate incomming *

Oh, regarding privacy, they have network log, you can see precisely what is communicated to the server. It did read my bash history where i was a bit mad about but it does not seem that he sent it. Also he did not collect my env-file it seems. Still, will update everything tonight.

I was on WarpCli Live on youtube and they gave out a few discount coupons: 1DOLLARGPT5 and 5DOLLARGPT5

PS: I'm not affiliated with them, also don't couldn't find anything about this type of post on the rules, but since it can be beneficial to some ppl , I'll risk it

my tarot says my true self is the hanged man which is pretty cool ngl

What is up with a lot of DR users deleting their account and creating a new one?

ZTNA is just reinventing the wheel. Yeah, we open all our shit to the outside and let some client do some checks to grant you access. WE HAD THAT SHIT FOR AGES! ITS A VPN TUNNEL TO OUR SELF HOSTED SHIT THAT YOU HAVE TO LOGIN ANYWAY. Its just like someone in security marketing decided to put a name on something you should be doing anyway. Especially clientless ZTNA, thats just a reverse proxy with an auth header.

Man, cybersecurity lately just feels like sales just trying to sell you best practices and AI instead of actually usable software!

Fucking finally beat that HR 30 Jin Dahaad fucker with my hammer build FUCK THAT ASSHOLE!!! There’s sweat all over my body. That was a long ass boss fight, never doing that again!!!!! FUCK YOU JIN ROT IN HELL.

Claude code: "Tip: start with small features or bug fixes"

Me: "Pretty please, rewrite this PHP4 SOAP 0.5 Sybase connected and it's 4 tier CGI service in the coolest and lastest Haskell powered GraphQL backend, kthxby"

looking at jobs I don't have the brains for this anymore I think

that's so sad

I wonder if I do obsessive cardio could I outdo all the "multiple sclerosis" lesions -.-

can't code my way out of a fucking paper bag

had some dude add me on LinkedIn that looks impressive and he's connected to some people I worked with who were impressed with my code before... so years later they must've been still talking about me. but I'm a shadow of my former self if I could even qualify as a fucking shadow. I'm so embarrassed to even be existing that's my level of depression on the matter

So if you work a remote job would you create a virtual machine to act as the device which connects to any remote employer systems? It seems like that would be ideal to keep personal separated from company data and software.

I suppose it depends upon employer requirements.

I don't understand javascript

Need help understanding the using !!fooBar vs fooBar when checking ?(truthiness?) I'm not sure what is being checked.

I'm used to seeing the latter fooBar.

electric cars whirring noise so creepy

creeping in my back alley

like some kind of cylon patrolling... they even got the eyes!

Me: Medior
Position: Senior
Recruiter: Oh yah we'll apply you for this one
Me: Wtf?

Yes, that makes sense.

Ubuntu app center really needs a freaking bookmark button!

It makes no sense to cheat on your SO, esp with someone who also is committed, and then down the road hope for a trustworthy and strong relationship with your lover. Why? Because you cheated on your current SO / he/she cheated on his/her SO, so who's to say you/he/she won't go sideways in new relationship. There is a tendency to, it's no longer a taboo, so trust cannot be built on it.

Same applies to work matters. If your sidegigs/clients/potentional new employer urge you to work less for your 9-5 and spend more time on their matters, they cannot expect you to NOT do the same thing with them -- if you budge and do as told, you might as well 'steal' time [overcharge] from them and spend it for other clients.

Trust is fragile. Don't ask me to quietly break my current agreements to work for you more if you expect me to be a reliable asset in your endeavours
