Been nearly 3 years since I last posted on DevRant, a lot has changed, but users are still usering….2

so weird not to have my code crash...
before I'd check it every few hours and reboot if it has crashed
but now I check and it's just churning along
the bug was easy to fix once my brain cleared some5 -
My lovely colleagues from planning bought me this for "my continuous help over this year".
I love those guys.3 -
Merry Christmas, everyone!
I would send you all Hawk Tuah coin, but I just spent my bonus shopping for ungrateful people. Okay, they aren't ungrateful, just unappreciative.
Anyway, gonna try and avoid devrant for probably a week.
And for you other assholes: Happy Festivus!2 -
What a journey - a psychedelic shaman in a capitalist world
Dear @Wisecrack
sorry for the 1,5 year cliffhanger... but i hope you still intrested :)19 -
My boss uses chatgpt to code all the time. I watched his workflow and he will use chatgpt not for code, but to act like a search engine. He seems to be effective using it like this.
I struggle to include chatgpt in my workflow at all. I am using it to help learn C# to clarify things I cannot find in search. It doesn't always help.
So I have mixed feelings about using it in my work flow.4 -
Dammit, it's morning. Then I get my kinda post nut clarity. Things I thought last night to be a good idea, not anymore. Good that I went to sleep. Phew. New rule, only decide what to do regarding new projects in the morning. The new background of my site is a good example when deciding things tired. What serious dev has such stuff? I dunno, maybe I do leave it for now, site is because many reasons unprofessional. There is a duplicate one with my real name on it. I made a reverse proxy project that replaced http content by interpreting httpd, fixing content length after replacing (else browsers will endlessly load or give error) with support for websocket and buffered content so implemented quite a bit. If I replace retoor with my real name now, you'll see it literally everywhere, I git history and such. Probably even downloaded zip files, I have to see if that doesn't corrupt. This software can also be used to make sure smth is NOT published. Sensitive data you could put a password in it for example so Noone will figure out if you accidently stored a password in git. I check this now by grepping using my common passwords in git. But I use env vars right now for passwords.
Got off topic, no decisions when tired anymore!5 -
This is lead acetate. It looks like sugar and tastes like sugar, yet it’s as toxic as lead.
Have a good day!17 -
I have paid version of GPT now. Kinda accidental, I wanted the API version and that seemed to be smth completely else. Didn't know. I have a lot of opinions / mixed feelings about it so far. Take the imagine generation, this image is kinda perfectly what I wanted. But it took so much iterations and it was forgetting what i've said lines before. Everytime adding text balloons why I said to remove it, then it removes it but generates a complete new image with something else I don't want with it. THan i fix that, and tadaaa, again a text balloon.
This is the question where it is about: is GPT in current state worth the money? I have no idea, I need some more time.27 -
Do you watch stuff in fast motion? What kind of monsters are doing that? My best friend was doing it, and now turns out my wife is like that as well.
Why would you watch something in x2. I swear young people don't have any respect for the present moment. Everything have to be rushed, finish early. Would you listen to music in x2 speed so you can finish the song earlier?
I don't get it18 -
Some people wanted to download their rants / comments. I'm working on it.
Three lines of native python code (no dependencies) to see what @Lensflare said:
from pprint import pp
from xmlrpc.client import ServerProxy
pp(ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc").get_comments({'id':{'gt':42},'_limit':1337,'username':'Lensflare'}))
I think this gives example of possibilities enough. Use your fantasy on how to retrieve rants.
Limitations:
- Not whole dR is available yet, but way more than retrievable using the public dR API. This system uses the user website as source.
- It doesn't show rant_id or comment_id and it won't to prevent abuse. Later today, there will be away to attach rants comments.
- maximum 2500 record limit. But soon you can get comments for every rant per user. You won't reach this limit in normal usage
Have fun with it! Don't worry about the abusing the API. Everything is allowed. It's fast as F. If it doesn't respond - it wasn't you. I work on it and often reboot services and it takes some time to recover to state.
If you're not familiar with python, that's ok. Check if you're a decent dev and have python or python3 on your computer. Just execute it and paste the lines. Other way is to save these three limes to a file ending with .py and execute python3 [your-file].
Another example for people not used to python:
from pprint import pprint as pp # nice printing of values
client = ServerProxy("https://victoria.molodetz.nl/rpc")
comments = client.get_comments({'_limit':1337})
for comment in comments:
if comment.get('username','default username') == 'kiki':
print(comment.get('body'))
pp(comment)
Happy hacking!7 -
I still have like, 4 working days left but my manager is on holiday from today so as far as I'm concerned, so am I.3

I have a score difference of two in two posts after eachother on the same page. This is how it must feels to win a lottery without gaining smth. I should buy a ticket. The odds are with me.11

Have @dfox and @trogus abandoned devrant? The credit card that they've set for billing will expire/foreclose and one day devrant will just go down.
Does anyone have a backup of all rants and comments? Do we have any backup meeting place (bot free)?30 -
Websites nowadays feels and look the same in its structure and how its designed and the elements around it
Its almost like software interface designers follow a pattern
I fee like "hand crafted" software for a niche will be the way to go to differentiate yourself and to give unique experience to end users5 -
Man, I really want to write a book called "The little book of errors" about correct error management strategies and patterns
Not that I know what they are.... but I'd really like to write a book about them1 -
today i was asked to encrypt a public key, because "it's sensitive info".
a PUBLIC key.
smh
it's not even hard (literally 1 line of code), but come on...6 -
Black box. It does seem to put messages with an URL in a certain category though, but also that's not always correct. It's trained on 3000 normal dR messages, and 3000 spam dR messages. 6000 dR messages in total. Many epochs but not good for use yet. The idea that the system could classify without discriminating new users is from the table. That discrimination is needed as a safe margin. Original spam system is a bit simple, but it doesn't do false positive and works great. Still, I want to make smth advanced out of it for the sake of education. Tomorrow I'll have my neural networks book. Probably over two weeks I have some good insights how to improve this all. New hobby :)
(pretrained 3b models are fine for recognizing spam btw. But it costs resource. 8 CPU's 100%. A self trained model pure on spam doesn't and is fast. With a pretrained model you can't do mass classification.)7 -
1. Leave big company of 1.5y for new job in different country
2. New company tries getting me a visa for 2 months and fails
3. Puts bogus blame on me and ends contract 2 weeks before my "temporary visa" expires coz their incompetent HR couldn't get the documents right.
Fuckers didn't have ONE COMPLAINT against me so UNASSIGNED me from COMPLETED Jira tickets to ruin my OKR stats just to build grounds for this (since last week)
And when I protested, blamed some automation but DIDNT change the spreadsheet. (should've rung some bells for me, but naïve me believed their reasoning)
Big company meeting last week. Engineering Lead put a slide just about me coz my fixes brought a 20-FUCKIN-X performance improvement.
He said "oh I put a slide about [me], I dont see it", HR who was in-charge of compiling the slides said "Oh you sent the slide too late so we didnt put it".
I shrugged it back then thinking oh well but in hind-sight Fuckers went OUT OF THEIR WAY to bury anything I did to build grounds for termination coz THEY couldn't get the visa.
kill me.5
