A new low for me, lol.

Beer, weed, good TV show. After 3 hours:

"Damn, I can't follow this show, so complicated. Let's go code a new feature in my app!"

And 1 day later, reviewing the code (because I have no memory of it), it actually works with just 2-3 edits...

Had to change my dog in my profile. The little black dog died, and I'm grieving pretty hard over it. One dog left, and that's it for me after he's gone. I can't say goodbye to any more puppers.

the difference between fear and "enlightenment",

one thing is discongruent with me, so I'm gonna attention on that
vs
one thing is congruent with me, so I'm gonna attention on that

TeamLeader2 is currently attempting to kill a PR I worked on for the past three weeks because -in a listener function- I place a listener and that's supposedly bad practice

I have no idea how to tell him; an event causes the creation of an object -itself an event emitter-, and I want to listen to those events; I can't listen to those events without a listener on those events. There's no middle ground.

Viking!

3 week ago, I made a post sharing that we got a new marketing guy and my colleague and I have a bet going on if he will last 6 months or not.

He is already fired.

No.

AI safety legislation is just to make it illegal for regular people to have it themselves and work for themselves instead of somebody else

So... Android will have a full debian terminal ... Neat 😏

reminding myself to calm the fuck down and just get this damn huge-ass feature implemented in this messy as fuck code base which is triggering me so badly.

Holy fuck guys, OpenWebUI generates previews of the pages it designs using HTML / CSS.

I vibed this whole Lumia (Nokia) WIndows Phone web component, just in the interface (shows after generating in video): https://devrant.molodetz.nl/vibe_de...

Guys, the designers can go HOME! Never liked them anyway. Potheads.

On top of it, it produces way better HTML / CSS than I do myself. WIth javascript some preference differences but that's it. In the end, i've refactored the code always like 80% or something.

The new snek update will be ratched! But will take a week I guess.

I'm so happy.

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

Before covid: everyone could become a friend!
After covid: most of people not.

That's what covid period did to me and thuw still affects me. Wish I could go back to the time that I was much more positive about general population.

But I know who to blame. The news and their polarisation. Never forget.

What they did was batshit crazy. I want to see people jailed.

They were not critical so they should not pretend to protect democracy. They were exactly when needed not doing their job and did spread propoganda.

I really pray, go bankrupt traditional media. Please.

I have to work with many people together today and I don't want to meet them. I don't want to leave more than 5km from my chalet unless skis are involved.

I spent hours fixing bugs, only to realize I was editing the wrong file the whole time.

Turns out main_final_final_v2.cpp wasn’t the one running. It was main_old.cpp.

I feel like the compiler and my brain teamed up to prank me.

pls stop putting talking into music mixes. you're ruining my jive. I don't wanna hear your opinions. just play the math noises

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

This really resonated with me. The last job I had before doing my work as a full-time independent freelancer had all sorts of infantilization strategies. Parties, nerf gun wars, big lunch once a week, etc. I'm introverted and all of that stuff sapped my mental energy for the day, so my productivity suffered. It's daycare for adults.

European hares and regular bunnies have nothing in common in terms of how they behave.

Hares will scream at you and attack you if you get too close. They're very fast and very agile, they even look like mini kangaroos. Sometimes they will open their mouth and jump at you full force, essentially using their body as a spear and their incisors as a spear tip. Their teeth are VERY sharp. Unlike carnivores' canines which are pointy, hare's incisors are flat like a razor's edge. They can totally bite your finger off.

They're big, strong and fierce enough to scare away foxes.

Just imagine dying of anaphylaxis all alone in the forest with no one to help you after getting bit by a not-even-rabid not-even-predator.

Experimented. Made a websocket app. Compiled to nice single binary. Package management bit meh. Some std issues but it's soon I guess?

Am I late of early to this party?

Thoughts / experiences regarding this language anyone?

Gets annoying laughing at my own jokes all day

Just spent 5h figuring out why sending a serial command wont trigger in U-Boot. Was literally soldering wires to the boad, decoded the entire line with a scope, used several adapters, downloaded the firmware again and again over serial and USB-dfu and a looking for alternative boards online just to find out cutecom was set to send no LF after a command so U-Boot thought i was still typing something. This is literally the semicolon joke you see splattered over normie coding memes.

Video editing is hard af. I shifted from VSDC Free editor to Davinci Resolve now, and its kicking my ass.

That's all.

I grew up in Russia. We don't use imperial units in any way, shape or form: we're fully metric. Every single person who taught me at school and whatnot was born and raised in Soviet Union that was also fully metric, and science was worshiped. We used to laugh at imperial units.

Given all that, I... don't hate imperial system. Inches, feet, miles, Fahrenheit degrees, gallons, all units based on human proportion. Just think where the word for "feet" came from.

Zero C is meh, nothing in particular. A hunge boils your blood kills you instantly. It's useless: it's a "shit ton of heat" in human scale.

Zero F is chilly, a hunge F is toasty. It's based around human perception. To me, there is no difference between 100 and 90 C, but the difference between 100 and 90 F is more perceptible, and thus more useful to a human being.

Same with every other unit. What's a gallon? A gallon is enough for an average Joe to get drunk, that's what a gallon is.

Where it all falls apart is when you're trying to create something. When you're trying to get some calculation going. When you're making — not consuming — you need your units to add up, e.g. to have the SYSTEM in place. Imperial system is not a system.

Imperial units are perfect for _consuming_ stuff: a gallon of milk, a pint of beer, a (real) footlong sandwich, a pound of meat. Six foot high dude with seven inch dick.

Metric units are indispensable when you're _making_ stuff, at any scale. That's the difference. Imperial units are the tool of consumption, metric system is the tool of creation.

Only the time units seem to be the same for everyone on earth right now. Time itself in its mercilessness gives the same treatment to all entities, doesn't matter if you're a human or a grain of sand.

I am the olive garden now

Spaghetti sauce and eggs mmmm

Something like 50 of my sweet, sweet plusplus just went poof, gone. Vanished, gone with the wind.

Could be a bunch of salty downvotes, no doubt a limpdick way to try and protest my immaculate logic? That is indeed a possibility. But the most likely explanation is someone nuked himself.

And you know what? Shit, man.
This is giving me flashbacks to when rutee left devRant and I hate it.

btw rutee, Mr Johnny Sins, your location literally inside me: in case you ever read this, I just want to say, you is the kewlest; no contest. Everyone else get fucked. I'm sorry, but you're not rutee. Nothing compares2u or some forbidden bromance shit sang by a bald woman, all night up the ass.

Anyway, where was I?
Ah, yeah. People-check.

So who deleted himself? I'm not seeing anyone missing. The whole gang is here. I think. I mean even ostream's shadowclones are still around.

Hmm. Maybe I did get downvoted?
Or maybe it was just a bunch of rants getting deleted, rather than a full-on nuke?

Huh. Indubitably, this is a case for Willy Tanner.
*REACHES FOR THE CRACKPIPE.*

Not an ad, I swear

AI Pro is now part of the Jetbrains All Products Pack I've been subscribed to since I started my current job 11 years ago.

Although I haven't found tremendous value in AI for coding, it gets a B or B+ for serving the right documentation without having to trudge through Google to find it. And to ignore it would be foolish, so I'm at least going to be acquainted with it.

My work fired their marketing department half a year ago and the new marketing guy still has yet to start.

But we released one week ago their first AI-generated ad, there are multiple things wrong:
- The logo of our company is wrong
- Our company colours are wrong
- Mixing of English and our (different) language
- Has "screenshots" of our application but our application does not look like that
- AI generated faces that look like PS1 graphics
- Multiple typos
- The font for our company name is wrong

And yet, they decided to publish it. That is maybe 1 hour of time to fix all mistakes if you are experienced in Photoshop but they can't be bothered lol.

Dammit. Threw my back. Might as well sell propane and propane accessories
