Isn't it weird how you have never tasted some food but you know exactly how it tastes?

Somebody brought up shrimp cocktail. I've never had it and I've barely ever had shrimp. But in my mind I know the *exact* taste it has

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

Anyone else have this problem?

Do not fucking start annoying me today, bugs, I'm not in the fucking mood.

After mass downvoting a serial ad spammer, apparently I've lost my downvote privileges and all of my downvotes are removed. Fucking great.

Meanwhile devrant is flooded with 99% spam, nazi trolling, pseudo intellectual conspiracy nonsense and politics.

I‘m tired of this shit.

Shithead manager.

Complaining that I'm a "senior" and he expects more from me (ignore that he's been making that complaint for 3 years and it's only been my job for less than 1)

Now complaining that I'm taking time to teach someone about something that they don't actually need to know.

I'm so fucking done with this job.

does the world run on passive aggression

so miserable

methinks communist being the biggest status chasers is not a coincidence

I had the weirdest job interview in the world. A job that wasn't even considering due to lower compensation than what I am making.

Throughout my career I saw three types of interviews (some times I have 1 & 2, 1&3 or just 2 or just 3 or fail early in 1):

1. HR textbook style: your 3 biggest weaknesses, what would your coworkers describe (I fail most of the time here)

2. People coming to prove a point to you (what happened to me today): Somebody with a clear intention to prove you are stupid and/or lying.. You are guilty until proven innocent style of interaction. They will find one little thing that you read about 15 years ago and zoom in it enough (it takes a 1min read to go over that again) and to them you are stupid and that's it. Generally insecure people do that

3. Tech oriented hiring people: it always goes well even if I don't get hired. Where they focus on the skills that take years to master rather than zooming on something you studied 15 years ago and totally forgot.

The hiring person was in tech presumably for 20 years but I saw 0 important stuff in his github. (I can name and shame if it's allowed here)

I think it's time to delete my second facebook account

I dont like to keep an account too much, people start to know who you are.

Anonymity is freedom of speech

How certain can we be, that AI Code Assistants or the companies behind them are "stealing" our proprietary code?

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.

informational asymmetry means you lose

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.
