Are people still questioning leaving Europe?

I was thinking it would probably be okay in general to stay. But then I see French and Germans are jailing political opponents.

IMO this is a huge red flag. They tried that shit here in the USA and even shot at political opponents. If they had succeeded I wonder if we would be in a civil war.

But Europe doing this concerns me more than Ukraine conflict. This feels like another build up to 1850 in Europe. I dunno, what are your feels over there? I wouldn't want to be in a one party country.

PSYCHIATRY IS WRONG. IT'S A POLITICAL TOOL TO REMOVE DISSIDENCE AND PUNISH OUT OF NORMS BEHAVIOR, EXPLOIT PEOPLE AND EXTRACT WEALTH FROM THE HEALTH SYSTEM BY SELLING THEM PILLS.

WE SHOULD KILL THE PSYCHOLOGISTS.

That heart attack when important data isn't showing anymore, and you missed the note as to why, so now you're stressed out because you don't know what and how hard you fucked up

Also, fuck the dude for saying he did the deploy, telling the testers to test and only an hour or 2 later saying he didn't deploy to the right env

Got this message from my CEO: "When are we going to have a perfect working version? 100% sure without bugs? "

How do I even respond to this? "We are wondering the same"?

(for context, he requested an early alpha build of a certain feature)

Sid teaches us the importance of mother's love. Because motherless child grows up to be a spiteful, butthurt person like Sid.

retoor teaches us the importance of father's love. You get the idea.

Usually I come here to share rants/negativity but this time I wanna share an happy moment I had yesterday as a programmer.

In lots of instances I struggled to work on personal projects: I feel the desire to code cool stuff but I've often self-sabotaged myself by doing stuff like:

- self-enforcing "one man agile methodologies" with tasks, issue boards and lately time tracking
- forcing myself to do long study/research periods about the language/technologies I wanna use before writing the first line of code (and when I was able to actually end my research and get to code most of the stuff I researched was forgotten since cramming information is not effective on the long run)
- forcing myself to stick with all the "best practices" under the sun and to setup countless tools (linters, CI, unit testing...) before even getting a working POC

Usually all these stupid self imposed rules ended up in me procrastinating or pushing trough stuff struggling with headache after headache when coding actually used to feel a mostly fun pursuit to me.

Took lots of time to recognize this monster I created into my head but finally yesterday I did and I gave myself permission to:

- Start programming with just the very basics of the language (while reading a book on said language on the side at a relaxed pace, I can always come back later to improve my code as I learn more)
- Add stuff (unit testing, complex frameworks, CI/CD...) only when I need it
- Do a very basic planning (like a text files listing "must have" features and "nice to have features") and avoid issue boards and stuff, I'm working on a hobby project not on a company or a big OSS projects

It's been so long since the last time I had a programming session where I spent most time actually writing code and not researching and overthinking stuff and it felt great.

Didn't I already ask if rust at least doesn't bomb quietly like a program written in c does when unmanaged?

You know I had a significant learning curve thrown my way having to try to debug c/c++ code.

I can mostly read it but I've barely written anything in it

Have wrapped it 😀

An important lesson I learned:

When upskilling yourself and taking notes, make sure you do it on your personal laptop because when the time of contract termination arises, you will have to sign a waiver that you can't keep any of the data you saved on company infrastructure (including cloud). And then you lose all your notes and possibly knowledge. lol.

I find this concept so annoying. Even in college they said that anything you write down is property of the university.

Rapidly moving away from everything Apple right now

Bitches. I was doing that back in 2018.

Still, good money for literally 60 minutes work...

why waste 6 hours reading the docs when you can 'one-shot' it

I can't belieeeve that in some environments, developers are judged and rated by how they behave. I think they should be valued on skills, not on how 'cool' they project themselves as.

Mojang/ Microsoft no longer understands semantic versioning??

They released a new update for Minecraft, 1.21.5 - but it:

- Adds new features
- Breaks backwards compatibility

Look at this. The left side of the screen was generated in 1.21.5, the right side was in 1.21.4 You can literally see the split down the middle where the trees generate differently because of the update.

This doesn't *matter* but it's just bothersome to me! Fuck you! I'll rant about whatever, no matter how small!

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....

I had to make a reverse-geocode Service in C#.
I made a new empty .cs file, copy-pasted the API OpenStreetMaps endpoint as a comment for reference

I dislike AI but can't deny its usefulness in this kinda manual work. I'd take this over some low-tier junior dev anyday

OK then

What would be a noise or sound that most accurately represents JS?

I‘ll start with two suggestions and we can vote for the most fitting one.

Dear HR,

You're so incompetent, had I followed your instructions I'd have broken the law and endangered my life.

So let's settle the TAB vs SPACE debate once and for all. Loser have to leave town at down covered with feathers and tar.

From the era of typewritter, we inherited a key to bring the carriage to a specific column, aka INDENT. It's the tab key. Space key are there to separate WORDS.

Whoever use SPACE for tabulation/indentation is a fucking idiot. Just imagine this bafoon having to set his fancy jetbrainz IDE to do something that typewritters can do for 150 years, and then having to press backspace 4 time like a parkinsonian retard.

They are dangerous people who are probably anally raping cute kittenz as we speak.

I've joined a team recently. its been about 4 months now. the damn testing framework changed more than 4 times now. and the environments to test, the necessary config changed a lot of number of times that is so fucking hard to keep up. If I ask a question, manager keeps saying that I should be knowing things by now (which I've never worked on). god damn, then atleast keep somethings fixed, or atleast write it up what got changed, and why it got changed. no one discusses shit, and assumes everyone should be knowing stuff without any communication.
