Ok, so, analysis: there's at least two files writing on the singleton with the wrong behavior; you may patch one, the other will still write the same thing.

So I need to patch both of them (one is 1200 lines, the other is 1800 lines), and the second is some unreadable clusterfuck of intertwined connections, the current situation being the result of tens of tickets and business requirements nobody ever bothered to write down -a good part of which is entirely lost to time as moving the repository from GitLab to BitBucket lost the history so I can't reconnect any line of code to whatever ticket originated it. There's no way I can touch this shit without us getting sued. Wish me GL.

also rpc calls over ws is something I actually wanted to try for a while tbh

@retoor no, that's a normal meme cat I post puff only in comments, upon request. I don't have puff pics at hand as of right now, sadly

Oh, almost forgot we have a bunch of setIntervals periodically tinkering with the singleton too, because how the fuck could we possibly miss that one out

> @IHateForALiving: a single individual has now control over executive, legislative, judiciary power. On top of that, he has indirect control over media and direct control over any independent federal agency, including those who would work on the fairness of the next elections; even most monarchies don't have this kind of concentration of power, and to top everything off, this individual has already tried to pressure state officials into changing unfavorable elections (see: the phone call with the Georgia secretary of state)

> @retoor: nono, the end justifies the means :)

@retoor like, immediately AFTER I posted the whole "check and balances" shit, Trump approved this stuff

https://whitehouse.gov/presidential...

TLDR: POTUS will now directly control every previously independent federal agency; this includes SEC, FTC and FEC among the others. POTUS can now defund any agency without going through Congress.

@retoor I look at the shit he (and his entourage) did with the balancing of powers. That concentration of power on a single entity would be a problem even if the individual was well-intentioned; the individual we are talking about, however, is doing stuff like firing civil servants on the sole basis of political allegiance.

This is literally taliban-tier government, and there's no amount of "BUT KAMALA" you can throw at me to persuade me otherwise. And fuck politics, because this rant was -again- on another issue altogether.

> But what about a interview with Trump?

I did, several times. He clearly has dementia; not YET as much as Biden, but he has it and it's absolutely blatant. The man is expressing himself with the vocabulary of a 4th grader and can't keep his focus on a single sentence for more than a few seconds.

I won't get into the whole debate about energy sources, y'all could go full nuclear tomorrow and I wouldn't mind it. Best energy source, no question asked, ggnext.

> Hmm, its clearly obvious what news you watch :P

Most of them are MAGA shills trying to persuade me that all of this is fine. What's left is NYT (left leaning) and WSJ (owned by Bezos, and definitely on Trump's side as we speak).

You guys have a single man with control over POTUS, SCOTUS, House, Senate, army, media (WSJ, Fox News and... Twitter which is currently how the vast majority of americans get their news), civil servants (as he fired every employee not politically aligned to him).

Your entire system of checks and balances went to the sewers in a month, and whoever speaks up against it is vilified without proof on Twitter by a schizo with no oath, no security clearance, no background check and who will allegedly "watch over his own conflicts of interests", which already constitutes a conflict of interest.

I literally have no idea how any of you could sleep at night; if tomorrow it turns out you don't want the GOP anymore, you have no way of getting rid of them.

@Demolishun I'm not in politics, I'm worried about Trump as seeing the news it's clear to me he's destroying liberal democracy. Which is not the topic of my rant, but I'll still point it out because I'm sick and tired of magatards answering every dissenting individual with labels of corrupted\pedophile\socialist and everything in between. Different opinions STILL exist, and there's no need to bring money laundering in the picture; some of us just won't buy what the GOP is selling, and we're being honest about it.

Then again: not the topic of the rant, so whatever.

@djsumdog it's legit, I just wanted to attack the myth "engineers are gods". We're monkeys with a keyboard; sometimes we jump on the keyboard and shit works, that's as far as it goes.

@tosensei until now I've always used the http rest client extension for VScode; I need to send a POST request, it sends the POST request. No nonsense. Simple, dumb, it also works like a charm.

I can definitely see why would anyone use rxjs for sockets, there's no way in the world I would use rxjs on anything other than this specific scenario you just mentioned.

"HURR DURR IT'S MORE PERFORMANT"

It's not, but I wouldn't care anyway. I'm performing an HTTP request and assigning a few properties here and there; this is NOT what's slowing down my application.

Slowing the entire development process for some hypothetical clock cycles which, even if you did actually get them -and I'm not saying you do-, you'd get exactly 0 benefits in the 99.99% of real world scenarios, because that's now what's clogging your application.

This is the literal quickstart, I can't believe an actual professional looked at this shit and was like "YEAH ABSOLUTELY, THE WORLD NEEDS THIS"

@retoor was talking about Puff. She was snuggling very AGGRESSIVELY, pushing my neck to the side. She had an end goal, but I can't imagine what that was.

@retoor she is being quite intrusive right now. Tenacious headbutts in my neck. Doesn't like being ignored.

@retoor I use chatGPT to know the name of the thing I actually need to search for (many times, you don't even know what the f you should even google).

Once I know what I'm actually supposed to search for, whatever happens stays between me and Stack Overflow.

@PappyHans

Q: "man, how does this work?"

A: "dunno, GPT wrote it"

Second time I heard it in the last 5 days.

-8, I actively revert commits

Ok, Puff is getting way too famous for her own good.

At any rate, Christmas is coming and my gf decorated the cats. Puff has opinions about the whole thing, but as she's a cat, nobody really cares about that.

Also tagging @retoor for acknowledgement

I stopped fighting the urge to call people "dogs".

Enough diplomacy, this code is barking.

Waking up, choosing violence

@Weon

- in an ideal world, we use the complex and carefully crafted system of bullmq with Redis events for scheduled and recurring jobs

- in the real world, setInterval once every x seconds and God be with you

@retoor I never rant unless I have a Puff pic to upload for you

That's the opposite of a problem. Give that to me, I need just a handful more ++ for a cute crow to perch on my shoulders

Some more 2 hours spent in call, for a problem I could have solved in 2 lines were we using a sane framework, it's becoming a habit at this point, but SURE BUDDY, RUIN YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING PROJECT BECAUSE DEPENDENCY INJECTION IS TOTALLY FUNDAMENTAL (dependency injection in Angular is literally the import statement, except it's pretentious), WE NEED TESTABILITY (we don't have a single test), REACTIVITY IS THE FUTURE (it's a more cumbersome version of the stock event emitter), IT LOOKS SOOOOO NICE (the same theme in React looks slightly better and it's a bunch of very basic components stylized with tailwind anyway)

No, that's the same old Puff. The only other cat is the Log; different stripes, and he's currently busy being fat on what I was entitled to think was my chair.
