Fucking git decorations! Now it seems they can't even be disabled in VS Code :(

Manager: Keep the debug logs
Me: I won't use them as I use the status report or run it manually to see the problem, but fine whatever.

1 week later

Manager: the debug logs are hard to read, the status report is hard to read too but it's a bit more concise
Me: Yes. The fuck you want me to do? I don't use logs and don't care. You can write code, make the logs more useful to you if you want to use them.

Running is good for sleep. I wish my lungs weren't fucked, but I ran anyway.

My daughter: "why don't you want to do a pinkie promise?"

Me: "because promises have been supported natively for like ten years now."

messy backend API. root level payload object has a property that is being repeated in a property that takes an array of objects where this same property exists in each object in this array.

why do people work in a messy manner like this? why pass the same data twice in the exact same request?

(lead architect is smart, but holy fuck is his work a goddamn mess of technical debt and hurts my brain and productivity)

In french the world fish means "poisson". Not to be confused with a "boisson" (beverage), nor with the "poison" (poison).

But you could have fish beverage, which would be a "boisson de poisson". And some fish are poisonous, which would make it "poisson poison". Now let's take some poisonous fish, like some fugu, and turn it into a soup. You get a poisonous fish beverage, so "une boisson de poisson poison".

It also follows the poisson distribution

Work just keeps surprising me and giving me wtf moments. They want me to finish a course in 1/10th of the time that the industry recommends just because they don't have budget for more time. I'm quite pissed off. Now I have to work 700% faster. Let's do this shit. lol

How can so many people be shit at their job, and all in one company?

Me and a fellow friend started working as a freelancer.

of 3 projects that we have:

One has a terrible code (like really nasty and over engineered to the maximum). albeit each new feature is a challenge to our sanity... they pay are are somewhat nice.

Another after we did the job they don't want to pay (thankfully we are on a platform that is like the middle man for work, they already have the money so should be "trivial") because they say we did not do what they asked. Brother, the 2 A.M. is not an hour to be called, and we did all the little shitty task they askend AND the original tasks...

And in the last one we hired a team to work with us because we don't have more hours in a day... and they only rename some vars, call it a day, ignoring the task on the sprint and they wanna get paid for the "job"

I just wanna drink a few pints of guinness...

There was an illegal rave in france. The people had paid for a container to come and people stayed on the site to pick up their trash.

The police kicked them out BEFORE they could clean and then made videos about how ravers were disguisting.

Am i the only one who fucking loves it when YouTubers find old “call toll free” numbers or old numbers for various sweepstakes/contests, games, help hotlines whatever and actually call them? Especially when they still work….

At this point I think we can reject the theory that image upload somehow fixes itself.

I did a little bit of finger practice in Unity, nothing fancy just two spheres and a capsule-guy under Newtonian gravity and a force-driven player control script that works on spheres.

I will never understand how C# libraries spontaneously decide that some operations will be nonvirtual methods while others will be static methods. It is the exact same thing! You're just ruining intellisense for no conceivable reason!

Also, transform has a right but no left, the float return value of Vector3.SignedAngle is not the same unit as Transform.Rotate(Vector3, float), Transform has LookAt(Vector3 position) but not Look(Vector3 direction), to do that you need to

transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.up, direction).normalized(), direction)

you can't discover whether a collision encountered sticky or dynamic friction, you need to infer that by calling RigidBody.GetPointVelocity on both RB-s at the collision point, which has its own quirks. Apparently this is to keep the API engine agnostic, but any serious project will have its own physics materials which already specify the sticky friction coefficient. A simulation that works correctly with physics materials but doesn't discover the kind of friction as an intermediate result is not possible.

RigidBody's velocity isn't displayed in the GUI, so you can't give it an initial value without a dedicated script. I have a script on this fucking moon that does nothing but add a force in Start.

Is it just me or does Unity feel cheap somehow? Like a hastily written library for a research project that was never rounded out with the obvious features. I understand that it's a free product that catalyzed the golden age of indie game development, but I think it's seriously struggling to keep up, not with the showy investor bait stuff, but with the standard of comfort modern tooling provides.

Driving data from your car (direction, Gs, cameras) can be used to estimate your “recklessness”, bought by banks and used to “properly evaluate” your insurance price 🙈

Proud owner of a brand new Volkswagen, baked less than a month ago :)))

Lots of touch and tech inside, lots of assisting technologies -- quite a jump from a 2005 Audi a6. You can even track your car in your phone now OOTB :) cool!

Pushed decrypted ansible vault to work repo. Time to cycle some s3 tokens.

I feel like the social good of tech never really came to fruition. Like my local store can probably tell I have poorly managed ADHD from my irregular shopping schedule and caffeine/sugar addiction but all they use this info for is to try to sell me more salty peanuts.

The peanuts are tasty tho ngl

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

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.

Rhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I just got blocked on chess.com because some british guy blundered away like three pieces in a row and I went "blimey! the brexit geezer gambit!"

simple as.

I think most devs have burnout. I do. lol

Ugh, I remember the first time I tried to post on Reddit — I had this super niche theory about time travel in cartoons, and I was SO excited to share it. But nope, not enough karma. Ended up commenting on cat pics for like a week just to level up 😂 Felt like I was grinding XP in a video game just to be allowed to talk. Reddit really said: “Earn your right to be weird here.”

How many of you wake up and the first screen you see is your development environment (IDE, terminal)? lol

I'm slowly but surely make my KDE Debian's UX better than what I was familiar with on macOS. It's already _way_ faster.
When I'll get UX done, I'll get to UI -- all kinds of beautification

My workplace just lost a contract that would bring us a €20000 revenue because the CEO refused to spend €5.

Him: Hey your program doesn't work
Me: what's the error
Error: malformed data file
Me: where'd you get that data file?
Him: oh in this new place I saw
Me: that's not the correct data file for that command
Him: are you sure? This is more convenient for me
Me: the command needs the correct data from the correct source....

Camel case can't be used in Postgres: table names are case insensitive. Pascal case can't be used too.
Kebab case is readable, but it can only be used in HTML, Clojure and probably some other lisps.
Thus, ugly-looking snake case is the most compatible casing.

The orange juice in United States looks and taste different

It occurs to me that the only people left on devrant are shills, bots, racists, and insane people, and I've yet to decide whether to leave or count myself into that last category.
