Oh no I'm not handwriting property/key checks and just checking that rows are written to the CSV (since that's not the job of that test, but test of the serialising function)

Dude must be really happy at home 🙄

Happy "doubt every news story and reddit post" day

So a few years ago I put tootsie rolls on little plates in the bathrooms at work. It took about a week before people started taking the tootsie rolls. I coined this experiment as the "bathroom candy" experiment.

Since it is April 1st I have revived this experiment, but this time I put Hersheys kisses on little plates. It will be an interesting experiment. But I am hoping for the phrase: "Who keeps leaving chocolates in the bathroom?!" or "Why are there Hersheys kisses in the bathroom?"

I expect people to be very wary of the "bathroom candy" this year. lol

Is anybody else's devRant suddenly in chinese?

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.

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.

You know what sucks? When AI appears smart but its explaination is so over your head you don't even fully grasp if it is bullshitting or not.

For reference, what the following does is decomposes several runs of a network, takes them as samples, then generates a distribution with those samples. It then applies a fourier transform on the samples, to get the frequency components of the networks derivatives (first and second order), in order to find winning subnetworks to tune, and enforces a gaussian distribution in the process.

I sort of understand that, but the rest is basically rocket science to me.

Starts with an explanation of basic neural nets and goes from there. Most of the meat of the discussion is at the bottom.

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

They say 90% of code will be generated by AI.
I say 90% of code is already copy paste from old projects or the internet. 😂

I hate wen people nag. If I say I'm going to do something, I'll do it.

You don't need to whine every six months

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.

Being asked to do a passthrough shader for an adult content media player.

Them selling it as it being like the fucking newest invention.

Bitches. I was doing that back in 2018.

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

I'm changing my coffee breaks at work for nap breaks.

The industry is so incredibly demanding beyond measure.

Please be proficient in:
- Java, C#, Python, TypeScript, ReactJS, AI, UX, COBOL, AWS, DevOps, security, SecOps, Linux, Unix, System Administration, Database Administration,...

Yeah? Give me six years then before you try to overload me with stress in having to deliver top quality code using these.

I actively try to diminish stress in my life and the major cause of stress is my job.

I went to a girls bar the other day. I spent 40 minutes talking to a cute girl.

It cost 6000 yen, around $40 usd.

I am a loser.

I also envy nice cars. They're probably not THAT expensive in JAPAN, but still.

My favourite car is Jeep Wrangler.

That thing is probably not a good car long term wise because American engines have planned obsolescence compared to German engines.

But oh well.

I need to change my habits, change my mindset, change my books and become something better.

I'll start by growing out my hair.

I made fun of that guy's long hair, the guy on devrant with red background, fuck I can't remember his name, but I admire his hair now.

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've been gone for a year. The fuck happened, this place looks like 4chan or reddit. Where's the fucking rants?

My workplace just lost a contract that would bring us a €20000 revenue because the CEO refused to spend €5.

Good afternoon everyone!

Hot take but movement in Half Life 2 is quite janky.

That said, I still love it.

My favorite weapon is the pulse rifle by a long shot.

I accepted a nice offer by my current company.

Boss invited us to a nice dinner today for some planning and whatnot.

Was quite nice actually.

Definitely looking forward to the future atm...

Open slack

See the urgent message from yesterday

Ooopsie

OK then

WHY THE FUCK IS DJANGO RETURNING A STRING FOR A DECIMAL FIELD WTF

Born to Deus Vult forced to "as per my last email"

CEO is blaming a frontend bug for a backend outage. The server simply did not scale with new active clients ))))))

Oh the irony. I gotta ask a JS question here...

How come I can't do this?
<button type="button" id="idGetData1" onclick="{async()=>{ await get_data();}}">getDataFromWebserver</button>

But I have to do this?
document.getElementById("idGetData1").onclick=async() => {
await get_data();
};

Why the extra steps and need to run in onload?

Playing around with fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest for testing an embedded board.

Dear HR,

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

Get fucked.

Do you enjoy pain? Love being mistreated while paying $100 a year for it? Welcome to Apple Developer Enrollment!
You'd think for a company that claims to provide "seamless" experiences, their enrollment process would be super straightforward, but no, get ready to waste incredible time with generic error messages.
"Enrollment through the developer app is not possible for this account".
Great! Just great. My peasant app wasn't worthy of being on the almight App Store anyway. Forgive me for trying, my lord.

WTF.

First, they make you prove your existence with endless verifications. Need a D-U-N-S number? Good luck because it's a nightmare. Support? Barely helpful. And if anything goes wrong? Expect weeks of waiting with zero urgency from Apple.

And that $100? You pay it every single year, just to keep your apps measly alive. Meanwhile, Google charges a one-time $25. Fair? Not in Apple land.

And if they randomly decide your app has an issue? Boom, it'll be gone. No warning, no clear answers, just frustration.

So yeah, if you're a masochist who adores pain, jumping through hoops and paying for the privilege, Apple’s got you covered!

ok actually I just had an epiphany

vibe coding (which is telling an AI to do something instead of touching the code yourself) would be helpful on phones

so kind of like Tony Stark talking to Jarvis

instead of trying to find symbols on a phone

but if you have a laptop actually touching the code would still be superior

with a phone you could say what you want and just double check if it's right on the screen

soooo bathroom coding or when you're on the run middle of the street coding. hell... relaxing bath coding (I listen to podcasts in there by ziplocking my phone)

do you think people were far less workaholic before modern era. probably very relaxed time
