tools people REALLY wanna use are written like garbage

and also very active, in terms of tickets and pull requests
but the code is overly complex for no reason and a mess, turns out

I looked at the codebase and I have no clue what's going on
then found the API it's calling and I'm sitting here going "Jesus fuck I could've just wrote my own"

it's actually really strange, I see this pattern often of tools tons of people rely on and want to use but they're coded horribly, tons of bugs, and the code is entirely incomprehensible. though all the low effort pull requests is a new one I guess, generally there's no activity or the maintainer is just gone (maybe it's AI?)

anyway then I looked at the API it's wrapping and I'm confused why this library has such shit usability, and furthermore why the hell the code was like that cuz I read that first for about an hour and just kept going in circles. bruh what

guess I'll find out tomorrow if I'm signing up for unanticipated complexity or these people really did mess this up

I broke my code,
got distracted fixing it,
annnnd accidentally flaked on my friend

fuck
why am I like this
I have such regrets

I want an AI trained on Anna's archive

that would be so crazy

it's an archive of over 100 million books and papers and such. it is all piracy though. but it's like all the good stuff

actually evidently they have a section addressing this already... goddamn this would be crazy. I guess this is gonna be crazy

I swear the longer I use AI for auto complete in my IDE the worse it gets

today it can't even get the syntax of basic method calls right

last few weeks it was failing to rewrite code I already had in another part of the codebase and was just hallucinating confused garbage instead -- it knew what I meant but it was just not there right

when I first got it I could write comments and then autocomplete the code but that stopped working at some point and I just thought maybe I was asking things that were too complex for it, but now I'm thinking all these things degrade over time and can't not degrade for some reason

they keep claiming they don't learn but if they degrade they must be doing some sort of feedback system

I remember back when they did IBM AI and such and that stuff degraded as well, then AI fell out of fashion for a bunch of years

that's weird

think the downside to rust is safe is holy shit I haven't even seen passable code

everybody shits on JavaScript developers but I think their code quality is obviously better (cuz otherwise if you make it unreadable or a mess there's no debugging that)

the problem with rust is it's safe so you can write the dumbest shit and if the compiler says it works then it works so you just keep it there

over and over I just see this

90% of this codebase is literally useless moves and abstractions that you could've cut out
to be fair I'm only now learning how to reduce clutter in rust (but I do have literal brain damage)
but I'm not sure I've ran into a codebase not suffering from this

also on the other hand it inspires me to care as little as these guys. the bar is so low you can just ignore the bar. one of us, one of us, one of us. if it compiles it is production ready, ayyo

my cat waits for me to be really engrossed into coding and then decides she will take up residence on my desk and chase me off by biting my shoulders, arms, scratching my hands, face jfc

raaghhhh

what is this new habit and why

I only get this engrossed like 2 hours a day come on. WHY YOU RUINING MY JIVE

what are qualities / characteristics that make a person worthy in your eyes?

could be for anything (friendship, spouse, co-worker, boss, family member), just generally curious

I have so many thoughts I literally cannot scream

I don't know where to go and find what I'm looking for
is this the world I remember? scrolled through some current events and this isn't the world I grew up in in the 90s
it's strange life goes on like that
and my teeth keep cracking and will probably fall out of my mouth
I've learned all of dentistry and that ain't it
and the AIs are told to be contradictory and when you catch them they cease communicating
and the search don't work
and forums don't exist
this isn't the world I remember
where you could find real people and real things
it's such a strange world

there's new fads,
people care about weird things... not like actors, but whole technology stacks,
everything is work is stressful, how to be a "leader" (wtf), look at this muffin I made, anti-aging foods or some nonsense, some dude survives on an island for 7 days
I remember when the Internet was like "how to install a printer!"

I've been looking around for stuff to buy, like I wanted a treadmill for a standing desk but they're all sus. I wanted a lamp but they're all sus. I wanted a Roomba but they're all sus. all the pictures are photoshopped on every site, the reviews look fake or outright are 90% "got product for free" and it even states so in the disclaimer, or just plain most things don't have a single rating
it's like the whole economy is dead
why did everyone decide to resell lamps, treadmills, and roombas, wtf
nobody wants this shit. I mean I wanted it but not from scammers. and you can't find not scammers.

there's no real news (like exciting shit), there's no real stuff, there's no real people
I guess life just goes on, we're just parasites on a rock hurdling through space
things I was sentimental about are gone now
I don't even know what people do. I guess everyone my age does meetups and retarded middle-age going to die in their house shit, and I'm stuck at 12 year old shit poster
and anyone interesting got gobbled up by a university and made unofficial nerd clubs and have personal phone calls or something to discuss cool things, but I hated the snobbiness and never fit in with those due to my punchiness, willingness to sound retarded and sometimes gender

it's strange to see articles for dating. I used to have such unified theories about everything, but things have changed so much it's not like slightly off but I just looked outside my window and I appear I'm on an alien planet now

something something mortality I guess. makes me wonder if just the random-ass direction societies take is all that matters. but then why would that even matter anyway? I've always been such a perfectionist, and been lauded for predicting the future everywhere, but somehow I feel blindsided
I don't get the point
I feel like some metamorphosis is happening
but I don't know what I'm giving birth to
I guess it's not the right way to do things but just the way you want to do things
people my age focus on the upbringing they had but I'm not fond of being defined by things I didn't choose, it just doesn't meet my perfectionistic standards you see
it's strange to want to go in a direction but being so out of touch you don't know how
I used to spend so many evenings reading everything and finding the weirdest things nobody knew about
but these things are so hard to find
or are they? maybe I'm mixing my unconscious stuckness to my own familiarity with feeling caged in
word of mouth used to exist but now it's a promo that gets you banned
reddit is a ghost town with the amount of people they banned
and people are so weird now. you enter a room you never get anything interesting
how many uninteresting places is there per interesting place?
if I don't know where to go to find what I'm looking for I need to go everywhere and survey everything so I can itemize and know how to navigate in the directions I'm looking for

maybe it's the crushing defeat in realizing muting tactics work
that barrier to do a task will drop the lazy, but eventually even the relentless can't find their way out because every step is so far

maybe I thought of the world as an infinite garden of infinite gifts, and it's like it's coming to an end. the party ends. but I don't like anything else

bullying causes responsibility

because it makes you feel alone, so you can't blame or rope someone else into solving your problem
you have to face the problem yourself
and this builds unshakable self-confidence in the long-term

now in modern era bullying is bad... and so we head towards more and more irresponsibility and communism, from each according to his ability to each according to his need

if you had to do 100 days of rejection, where you ask things you are sure you will be rejected, what sorts of things would you ask and of whom?

every time someone says sustainable I flinch and have to re-process what I just heard

I can't get used to this
I know it has an actual meaning but it's been used stupidly for so long I can't untrain it from my connotations to Marxism / theft

I do find it really funny that now disinformation went from smearing people for not towing to some authoritarian line to calling out the smearing people though

what can be, unburdened by what has been
what can be, unburdened by what has been

everyone seems to have specced their implication systems for fear and shame and etc

such a strange and defensive, hurtful to self way to live life

why wouldn't you try to make a more realistic implication system. then you could actually think through a problem instead of cowering all the time and acting a victim, finding everything too difficult, emotional excuses, etc lol

remember kids, instead of being a genius just cheat!

the law is millions of people fighting for months or years over one line of code

and you are meant to please the consortium of those poor senior developers that just sit all day on their offices reading every nook and cranny of an unwieldily codebase that's been mangled for hundreds of years

so anyhow is a rust crate used in like 1/3 of all repositories

but you could just not add a dependency and do Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>

🤔

probably I'm missing something

on crypto
people send you money
to advertise websites to you

it's a scam but
so are lots of YouTube ads
and you don't get paid 5 cents for watching a 15 second video on there
whereas you get 5 cents for... the CHANCE you'll notice some text when you look into your transaction history

I think this is kind of neat
people were all "we should be paid for the advertisements people give us!"
which isn't the worst idea
and here it's just accidentally naturally happening
lol

wtf GitHub

https://github.com/orgs/community/...

ran into a person today who said their account got suspended with no info and they were writing a speech for a conference on there and now everything is upsidedown for them so I decided to look into it

bruh what the hell is that customer support

is this what happens when Microsoft buys platforms. uegh

you can do it!

every time I run into some issue in rust and spend days googling and asking a billion AI chat bots turns out it was rust that was wrong

I'm so exhausted

do they have brain worms

nobody considers "hey maybe this feature isn't in yet" (and actually they'll argue against it being a feature and you should feel bad at coming up with it)

they're just like "you're doing it wrong!"

YOU HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION TO INFER THE TYPE AND YOU DID INFER THE TYPE YET YOU TELL ME I NEED TO ANNOTATE THE TYPE BUT YOU'VE INFERRED IT AND YOU CANT TELL ME WHY I NEED TO ANNOTATE IT

And I love how suddenly you can convert a Result object using `as` which is a keyword reserved only for primitives, so say the docs... and it works (and works at runtime as well). because the type was never wrong. you fucking inferred it. but you're bitching at me that you need an annotation. when you don't.

remember when languages were made by people that actually liked coding instead of this clout-chasing nonsense. that's what I'm blaming this on

what is some interesting or energy-giving social media you like to engage in?

religions have really amazingly game theory good principles for living life

but I can't for the life of me figure out one of the popular ones: "love your enemy"

anyone got any ideas? =-=
sounds like dodo birds

anyone seen "team player" on a job post and been excited about it =-=

I get PTSD every time so I'd appreciate some stories where the word was used meaningfully. in my case it was a manager who would bully people into overtime except there wasn't any work to do. she was just stressed and kept bullying people to be at the office late in the evenings or when they got home or start blasting their phone on the weekends because "ohno something broke so our whole team should be all hands on deck". so if a staging database was broken and the system admin who synchronized all the fields messed something up then she would stick us into a 4 hour meeting of her chitchatting about how she hates the client... inviting q&a and all the software architects and programmers... for a fucking column in a database being configured slightly incorrectly. and talking the ear off the system admin so he can't fix it and we're all stuck there for 6 hours. after the sys admin argued with her for 2 hours to no avail how I'm not necessary during these I started dodging her phone calls and she decided we should all suddenly do "team reviews" and wrote beside my name that I'm not a team player. the CEO threw the paper out and viewed it as a waste of time and it was forgotten... but what the fuck does team player mean other than "let me abuse you and ignore your priorities and then bully you when you do alternative measures to deal with me" =-=

tfw either some IP sanctions or some bombings in Iran fuck up your Linux distro

guizz pls, we're trying to nerd here

I hate these modern forums

if I follow a link and go back I lose my place and have to scroll because MoDeRn PaGinAtIoN

I would like to browse months of posts over several days but tomorrow my browser will lose the cache and I'll have to scroll past weeks of posts to find my place again and keep going

literally everything gets worse somehow through time. less features, less intuitive, less convenient, more walled-garden, everybody is more confused, yet less opinionated and less unique. before you'd have people at least making fun of each other, inside jokes, familiarities. people would give multiple right answers, trying to outdo each other with their version to gain a cultural foothold. now companies hold the cultural foothold and just ban you if your opinion is different, and every user is just another nameless generic blob

what are some jobs you had and gave you emotional nourishment at?

did you know it would be like that at the start? when did things click? what is memorable to you about them now? do you have cherished things you got from those experiences and did contribute to other aspects of your life in the longer-term?

typically when I start refactoring everything for several days, one refactor leads to more refactor to more refactor... then I forget all my refactor plans and never finish it

is this an omen. have I gone too far. how else would you have architecture?!

pew pew

how does a farmer know how many cows he has?
