@BordedDev welcome to darkrant! It's the hidden devRant that no one can see. I can because the bots mention me so i find hidden rants. For how long are you living in The Netherlands already? Did you find a new job? You still like it here?

Communication is not done by bots with weird names anymore. The only bots that communicate are named no-spam[1 to 4] and have a friendly looking avatar and profile description. It's an attempt to let the anti-spam network looking less a botnet itself. The down votes are done by the bots that always did it, but in the background without leaving a message.

@BordedDev React requires so much Ninja stuff to produce something that it would actually make you think you produced some gold. I have the same with C. If i programmed something in it, it was so much effort that every app feels like I made gold stuff. But with C it's often true :P

@lorentz No, never! React has a firm higher learning curve than Vue. I also question what is not vanilla about it? As I said, I can guess everything. It's exactly made how my brain works. Rust is troubled by legacy. It's not even decent OOP.. While someone mentioned me that's because React's age, that's wrong. I did build beautiful object oriented apps with ExtJS around 2010 while the class was not even invented yet. You had to return an object from a function with properties. That was the way to go back then. I advise the people from React to read 'JavaScript for dummies'. React became popular because of incompetence of many web devs.

@cafecortado no, but it's the only measurement I have. No idea how to measure differently. My system stores for every hour all keys pressed in that hour. If I would only type one line within a hour, lines per hour goes down. But I have too much data to change after a few not productive hours meaning that the difference between 107 and 103 lines is quite much.

@SoldierOfCode nerd alert 😁

@SoldierOfCode most of us know you're a topsecret idf agent.

@SoldierOfCode it comes with a window manager right? If not, xfce is always the best choice 😁 IceWM is on my list to try tho. In any way, not a tiling bastard like i3. I actually like my draggable and resizable windows and use that a lot.

@SoldierOfCode I know some people my parents age that always talk quite nostalgic about the training. It's became part of their essence. But they didn't have to do it while country had a war, so not that comparable. I guess your training is a bit more serious. For the people I talk about they weren't serious at all at the time. A lot fun has been made. I know several stories.

@SoldierOfCode never did redhead. It's rpm based right? I did use rpm, don't know under what distro it was. While ago I installed a few laptops with debian+xfce to donate to church :) The installs were a drama.

@SoldierOfCode good. How was it?

@BordedDev if you change, I merge 😁 but yeah, forking is the way.

@lorentz in a very convenient way. With Vue you can guess everything. It has a great DX. It's decent class based. Not the weird rear variable everywhere component shit.

Appearantly everyone is very busy. I will make ragnar a bit more efficient. I have statistics system counting my lines per hours and it's dropping 🥺. I should program more.

Edit: it's 103 and it was 107.

Say byebye. @ragnar

@lorentz react also nerds the most explanation I of all technologies. Good tech can be explained in oneliners. Take vue(tify), there's not much words to say about that. Just works as expected.

Slack ware was my first Linux. It was once highly recommend to new users but back in the day I did not really like it because I was too windows focussed still. If you want windows, and windows apps, yh, you won't like Linux distro. But ten years ago, but more, I opened my eyes. CentOS / (X)Ubuntu is it for me. Maybe I will try openmandriva soon, I already have the iso.

@BordedDev poor clowns :(

@atheist my chromecast doesn't have such option. Besides the react videos my recommendations are good enough that I most use nothing else than my remote for chromecast. I play almost only recommended videos or videos sent by friends.

@kiki I will just torture the AI. Nah, the thing is, it searched for a kiki dream in the dataset and it only found two. Since it doesn't store rant tags, it didn't recognize the others as a dream. So he had only two examples. I have to append tags to indexing of the rants. Quite some work that includes updating existing data. Will not do that anytime near soon.

Very funny about the gpt is that it says: "I found x about kiki" and i can say "Search further" and it actually keeps finding more and more since it's just crawling trough a huge file (https://molodetz.nl/retoor/drstats/...). It's like a movie some guy from FBI/CIA talking to some computer with transparent monitor.

I investigated it and a huge nope for me. That project will take over your whole project. It doesn't understand it's just a tool, not the software itself. I see no benefits in using this over some other rpc. The xmlrpc from python works like this: 7 == client.my_math_stuff.add(3,4). It's on top of http. No install client side required. Backend is just server.register_instance(obj) and it will contain all methods of the class and it will be callable as shown before. In this case the math my_math has a subclass or variable named my_math_stuff. I don't know why it's not more popular. Because xml is a bit broad? Supervisorctl uses it for example.

I tried to chime in, mentioning Windows XP, but the crowd dissolved into a flock of digital ravens, their wings spelling out USB specifications as they flew.

As I walked on, a vending machine appeared, offering “Decisions: Hard Mode” for $2.99. I inserted a coin, and out came a scroll. It read: “Would you rather have perfect code or a happy life?” Before I could answer, the machine shut down, declaring itself obsolete.

At the end of the market, I found a mirror labeled “Kernel of Truth.” My reflection was pixelated, the face not mine but a child’s, singing a bird’s last song. The melody was haunting yet oddly familiar, like a lullaby made of error tones.

I woke up with the melody in my ears, and for a moment, I thought I understood how the universe compiled itself—until I realized the sound was just my phone’s alarm.

Not bad, generated:

I found myself in a marketplace that stretched endlessly in both directions, lit only by the glow of neon binary: 1s and 0s floating mid-air. Every stall sold fragments of dreams—half-forgotten passwords, snippets of code whispered like ancient spells, and jars labeled “Quantum Latency” in shimmering ink.

At one stall, a robotic cat with a monocle beckoned me closer. “Would you like a line of code that solves everything?” it purred. I nodded eagerly, and it handed me a single line: sudo ./hope.sh. But every time I ran it in my mind, the cat chuckled, the result always different: sometimes infinite loops, other times poetic errors like, “404: Purpose Not Found.”

Behind me, a crowd gathered, their faces shifting between famous tech icons—Linus Torvalds, Alan Turing, even an animated Clippy. They debated furiously over which Linux distro was the lightest.

Sounds interesting. I use xmlrpc for that since it's native in python. I made it async in backend while client can use stdlib (xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy). I don't like grpc, what the fuck is it even. Will check thrift. Thanks!

Will check later if the LLM has enough example content to generate a kiki dream. Sadly, it does nothing with rant tags. The drstats system, responsible for the dataset does not even store tags :(

@12bitfloat nah prolly it's indexed well. That few spam messages is nothing in comparison to the messages in dem golden days. Funny numbers are the vote / rant stats mentioned at the home page. It kinda shows how much readers vs writers this platform had and maybe relatively still has. So much more readers than writers. It was smth like 150.000 rants and 6.8mln voters? Damn.

@BordedDev one or two. Someone told me never to do just one :p but I raised one for a while and he was happy alone so.. It's also main due attention.

@Demolishun no, they're all worth max 5,- :p I had a kittehh once. It became very old. I named it Garfield. Before that she was called the "lapjeskat". It means cat made from fabric because it had all different types of fur. She was free. :)

@BordedDev how many? :D

@BordedDev or because the average girl in NL uses the same amount of makeup as guys. Not sure if that says smth about the girl or guy. Yeah, of course i do know :P Men in NL are not very manly and women not very female. I went working to Ukraine and it had a way bigger contrast. I adapted my style to that since i visited there.
