Questions in job applications have become a fucking joke.
I'm done with them, from now on to stupid questions I'm only answering in same fashion.

Sleeping well cleans our mind and let us approach a problem in a different way and help us find the solution. For some days I was worried about how to solve a couple of bugs, but this morning after a good sleep I magically realized how easy the solution was:
WON'T FIX2 -
Woke up feeling like shit. 2 of my kids were puking their guts out. I had stuffy nose and didn't want to exist. So I slept until 1:30pm. Woke up to work on setting up my new computer. I have been working on it since Sunday.
I finally got my old computer backed up to an external 8GB drive. I use Aomei and I like it. I needed backup software for the new computer. I thought about getting Aomei pro again. I went looking through my emails from them and saw I can buy a license for 5 computers forever for like $50 or something. The retail is about $300 or something. The cost of 1 license on page with deals was like $70 forever. I say forever as they have yearly fee model I don't want. The others are a single price once forever. Free updates too. So anyway I get the 5 license thing. Now I have 2 licenses so I can outfit 6 computers. Nice deal. The $50 was better than their general sale price of like $90.
Anyway so I am working on the new computer finding all the shit I hate about Windows 11. I am confronted with a fucking default setting for every folder to sort by date grouping on the files. This is the single worse default I have ever seen in a file manager. So I figured out how to apply a default to all folders to turn grouping to None. Yeah. Then I go download stuff using Firefox and it is fucking grouping things by date in the Save dialogs! WTF is this shit?!
I search about Firefox and they said its a Windows default setting. I find I can right click in dialog to set grouping to None again. But I have to do this on every fucking directory! Fuck you windows. I finally break down I use this third party tool called WinSetView. I am kind of not wanting to have to use third party shit. But I have been staring at this POS problem for like 2 hours. Oh, yeah, even as admin I cannot change the registry key that would set the default to None. Fuck you windows.
So I use WinSetView and it works very fast. I check and it seems to have done the job. Time will tell on this. I cannot tell 100% because all my folders were tweaked every time I right clicked in the save dialog. I also learned these tweaks might be limited to 5000 total in the registry. What a shit show. At some point during this I submitted feedback to Microfsoft to fix this. We shouldn't be editing the registry to fix preferences.
Another issue I had was right clicking a file brings some shitty ass new dialog. It requires another click to be able to do thing like create a shortcut or scan a file with av. It also makes it so I have to either click again or hold down shift to unzip with 7z. I was already tired of this shit. I was going to try tweaking it with registry, but figured I would learn how to shift click. Best of both world? However WinSetView after I ran it fixed this shit show too! Happy surprise!
Friends don't let friends run Windows. But if you have to friends don't let friends run Windows 11 without WinSetView.
I am sure I will have things to complain about. Like firefox having a skinny scrollbar by default. Fuck you Firefox!1 -
At 14, my grandpa had a boyscout trip to Britany, france. He met my grandma near a fountain, they exchanged their address and started communicating.
They exchanged letter for ten years. In the meanwhile, she had married a man and had a child. But the husband unfortunately died of tuberculosis.
So they met 10 years later, at the same fountain, and he brought her to belgium to spend their life together.
RIP bonne maman you were the best1 -
if someone in the group blames you for something, do you "accept responsibility" even if you didn't do the thing?
why or why not?5 -

lolwut? you have a free-for-all project with no premium features. Users can’t create accounts. All of your code is JS, you don’t even need a server. Just host your stuff on Cloudflare. I have just about a gigabyte of data uploaded there on my free account, so if I can do it, so do you. Just use a CDN for your client-only, JS-only project.
domains though… yours is long and costs around 40 bucks a YEAR.
if you made a good product and want to make some money with it, that’s completely okay, so just say so: “I want money for my work, but I don’t want to take away features that were free and can be provided at no additional cost, so please donate”. Why lie? It’s not like people who won’t donate to you based on this justification will magically donate for “hosting”.4 -

So after accidentaly using Arch for 5 months, and then accidentally using Gentoo for 7 months
(It was supposed to be 1 month per distro, but life happened and didn't have the time and peace of mind for a switch)
Today I'm finally hopping to Slackware
I love the setup's retro/classic ncurses gui <3

I'm going to have to learn about patterns in programming.
Structural and behavioural ones.
I know of several, but I'd love to hear some real-life use cases from y'all, if y'all don't mind.4 -
"Oh yeah I made a new endpoint, and I just pushed the logic for it wherever I wanted without following any of the project's guidelines or structure. I didn't write any tests or documented it anywhere either. I kinda felt there was already an endpoint for it (there was) but I couldn't be assed looking for it in the documentation"

Got any git tips that everyone might not be aware of?
My tip is fixup and autosquash!
If I'm working in a branch with many commits and I notice that 5 commits ago I made a tiny mistake on commit 'abc123' then I'll just do `git commit --fixup abc123`.
It's similar to `--amend` but you can do it for any commit.
At first this would be a separate commit. But next time I wanna rebase I'd just do `git rebase -i --autosquash origin/master` and it'll be squashed into abc123
Some article that explains further details:

After discovering I had been unaware of this for years I figure there must be other similar useful git things I might be unaware of2 -
The spam filter bot lost it's downvote privileges, already.
Well, it was fun while it lasted. Sigh.21 -
the AIs are reaaaalllly heavily degrading now
now they're hallucinating their own changes to code that they didn't even do
what happened during the bing AI era also. once all the hype was gone suddenly the output degraded. all very strange why it would do that
of course nobody knows how they built their AIs. they just throw things at it and if it increases accuracy of results then that's what they do, but there's no methodology to the madness of building these things. so maybe the devs are just changing random parameters to try to keep up with management's asks but instead they degrade the accuracy of the results over time18
