just woke up and the first thing i did is shit. again

me likes competition me thinks competition good for me. Gives me them blings and fussies and yep me happy

I'm developing a board game and it’s so much fun to come up with structures and logic to implement the rules of the game and make it in a way that is clever and doesn’t require a lot of repetition and explicit definitions which would increase the probability to introduce bugs and make future changes tedious.

This is what I love about programming. The pure joy of thinking about those problems and solving them.
I'd never want to delegate this task to an AI even if I'd be convinced that it would do a good job.

Let’s say you’re an upper-middle class US of A citizen, sitting at $950,000 net worth. You commit huge wire fraud. But instead of going to prison, you get a $50,000 fine. Isn’t that a slap on the wrist?

Yet this is exactly what Goldman Sachs got away with in 2016 (95B market cap, 5B settlement).

Isn’t it neat that those who are too big to fail are always too big to obey the law? Rules for thee and not for me.

we were in space. we failed our mission in this rust bucket of a ship. we were the last of humanity. surprised the thing was holding the oxygen in from space at all. we didn't even have power for lights inside the rust bucket

and there was this thing... we did something to it but it failed, we needed it for some mission but our plan went wrong... and we had 2-3 hours of oxygen left. it was impaled on a rusty sharp section of a half broken wall. right down the middle. of its mangled human body if you could call it that. it had melting skin, dripping blood and melting cartilage. in this rust bucket, of high heat and humidity, and you could smell its melting flesh like you bit your own lip and singed it somehow at the same time. like burnt meat, cartilage on the BBQ but with fresh irony blood, the taste of the flesh of your lip. and it noticed me and started tearing itself along the rusty wall segment that was serrated... moving fast and terrifying. it was hungry. it was angry. it had nothing else on its mind, and no possibility of anything else. livid

can't even enjoy suffocating to death for 2-3 hours in peace

one thing to have dreams of dying but come on. can't even die in peace now!

What do you think about the claim that 'AI is about to make obsolete programmers'?

Never let your manager leave the office hungry or horny.

Because we live in the universe not made for us — it would’ve been arrogant to think that all this vastness was designed around apes with anxiety — it doesn’t make sense. Thus, nothing that happens here does. If you examine something — anything — really closely, you realize that everything made of infinite number of parts, each of those parts infinitely complex.

So, if you think you grasped something, you didn’t — you’ve just found a way to dumb it down so your frail brain doesn’t immediately explode.

You didn’t grasp the thing. You just made up another thing that may or may not have anything in common with the thing you tried to grasp.

Japanese know their demons 😂

Pics are back!

Finished Napoleon Cat!

I have almost 8 years of experience, am currently a tech lead in the company im at (a big known music and video streaming platform), i live and breathe tech...

and someone i interviewed for (in a 4 year old fintech startup) wants to put me in a mid level position because he "felt i lacked depth". apart from his feelings he failed to make me understand how I'm not senior enough for him.

so how do i become deep? what is this depth he speaks of?

Still alive. Wrist’s been hurting lately so I’ve had to stop crocheting 😭

But I got into paint by numbers!

I think the Mossad has sent my coworker to sabotage me. You cannot be this retarded.

Imagine having put so much effort in spamming on both devRant and my personal portfolio repository with 20 to 50 items a day and just failing on both. My site does like devRant cleaning up every few seconds instead of getting some better captcha or disable API. I won't make my site less comfortable to work with because such loser. I already thought of a fun prank i can do with him. But for now, i'm too busy for that. Sitting in a wheelchair must piss someone off very hard.

I think I'm now a tabs person, it's the only character where the width can be easily adjusted for different devs without changing the underlying file's data

Yo check out my new website!!!

The nation of Vietnam started worshipping me as their god because I made a mod for Winamp that turned it into an IDE.

WAV is Mr. Bloat. Extract WAV 48 KHz from an mp4 video = 6 GB .wav file output.

More efficient is to just use ffmpeg. lmao. Result: 1:1, 500 MB. Couldn't be more efficient!
ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -vn -acodec mp3 output.mp3

Opened devRant after exactly 4 years. Brings back so many memories!!
Hello again, devRant community! What's life like rn?

i shitted 3 times within 1 hour. this is fucking ridiculous. i cant work my 9-5 like this! what should i do?

Tetris is an inventory management survival horror game

I finally got it working! Now I have a foundation for a kernel and an uefi bootloader written in pure Rust

Today was a good day :)

Tech is getting lazier. I think it started with showing you countless ads for things you just bought and now it's not bothering to even give good music reccomendations.

We're the problem.

All British inventions:
- were invented in a garage
- are still being built in a garage
- would've been better if they were built in a garage.

Emacs. I love emacs. Because emacs.

Why is Musk not shot in the face yet?

I was asked to work more in the backend. I came in as a frontender/ux’er. Had to do one small thing in mvc and now everyone is like whaaat, he likes that? Let’s make him the new ios developer. Yes!
*One of us! One of us! One of us!*

Meanwhile i’m going like, sure i like a challenge and i have a curious attitude but i had a tremendous amount of help from a coworker here?
