TF is going on

I swear this spam rants are driving me nuts lately.

I'm a bit too busy for it, but if someone wants to make an auto spam down vote bot that uses three accounts to downvote spam automatically, I can make three e-mailadresses for you that you can use to create devrant accounts for the bots. Such bot would be very appreciated. Also, for AI enthousiasts - AI can recognize this with a 3b model probably.

But even a few keyword matching instead of AI is probably enough. Let's ban the word crypto in lower and uppercase. Case of the camel even and don't forget the snake. (Sorry dottii :P)

Warehouse devs are trying to make our own homegrown warehouse robot AI to easy up the route optimization math, without paying up big $$$ for some big tech's crap.
Those robots look like wild "dire roombas", BTW. Each is large and round like bike tire on its side.
And the state of the art on the driving AI for those robots is... actually pretty good. It can avoid moving obstacles like humans or forklifts on their route or even drive around liquid puddles (our warehouses aren't exactly pristine).
So then came the time for the warehouse devs to benchmark their AI.
They compared it to a ready-to-use solution and fared quite well. Until someone suit decided they should ask chatgpt (or some other text AI crap) to try its "hand".
I've spent the best part of the day laughing my ass off, the devs had to go on a hunt to search for the *runaway robots driven by chatgpt*. One of them found its way to a freaking porta-potty like 50m outside the warehouse. Others were trying to lift forklifts to take those out of the way. Ooh, the irony.
A few were gladiators disputing the same pallet to lift. They were literally trying to sabotage each other to steal the pallet.
But most were just driving around randomly like giant roaches.
Man, sometimes generative AI can really make us laugh.

So the age of enshittification continues.

Apple is working on IPhone Air, which is rumored to be 5-6mm thick. I am sure Samsung will follow suit.

Why the fuck can't I have a simple bloody phone which just works for calls, texts and I can hold it without it feeling like cutlery.
I do not want to play games on a 6" device and give myself carpal tunnel.

I have switched to S22 Flip phone (dumbphone), it works flawlessly, lasts for days on a single charge.

RETOOR DID NOT DELETE HERSELF

You using the ChatGPT bot on devRant makes me feel like you have some sort of schizophrenia.

It's me. I'm a green dot again. Starting with a clean slate. No weird phrases anymore that causes me to keep my connections to the account hidden.

I want to make the content on molodetz professional so I can use it as reference for future employers and that means the name retoor will be associated with me.

I stop using github under my own name. I realized that I can use my alias both for professional usage and the content here at the same time. With my real name I prefer not to.

Even tho we are all software engineers, everyone needs to specialize and become really good at a particular discipline.

What are you good at?

what criteria do you use to determine if someone is a friend of yours?

met the most beautiful girl. well on ig at least. 9/10. her behavior made her 10/10. she wants me so badly. texts me so often. only wants me. wants me to fk her even on first date. shes hooked to me. shes attached to me already. she wants to breed with me and cuddle. kiss me hug me. shes willing to do anything for me even travel from another city long distance 2h 40m car travel. shes obsessed w me. said she will either fall in love w me and be w me forever or end up in mental insane asylum.

wtf is going on. this looks too good to be true. am i fucking tripping balls right now? has God blessed me with a normal girl finally after the suffering i went through? have i built my character development from suffering thanks to my blonde whore?

is this a trap? is the the final boss of pain? or am i fucking godlike blessed?

I have 6 different caching folders now

because rust path resolution, depending where you launch from.. if it's debug or test or vscode or command line... or what directory were you in in the command line?!

well it decides to resolve the location differently

and how is it nobody thought this was ridiculous

Guys so the yanks are gonna invade the netherlands to protect the zionists. Who want to be part of the resistance? Let me know in the comment.

Must not be sassy.
Must be polite and grateful to open source devs.
Must be diplomatic when pointing out they're fundamentally wrong about the spec they're implementing. Even if they helped write it.
Must not be sassy when showing receipts (what the spec says).
Must not be sassy.

What a productive daily standup... Someone played the trombone and it was related to our bug on the servers.

Won 2 tickets to a dev convention with some interesting talks...

Nobody at work wants to come along...

I think ill just take that day and hang around the city.

Goood I have this cold for weeks now. No symptoms beside my nose completely clogged. Soooo fucking annoying. My nose is constipated.

@b2plane help me bro I need you.

I installed a linux distribution it's called Zorin, i installed the latest one (Zorin Core 17) for a client since Windows 7 was giving him a headache, it was a very old machine with 4GB RAM with a celeron cpu if i remember, i suggest i will install linux and you won't have more issues with wifi and the printer he said okay, I installed everything, printer was recognized immediately Libre office was installed wifi is connected, security updates are done

After 2 days, he sent me a voice message telling me hey what is this zorin? Zorin everywhere, it's like if I'm using someone else program,I have nothing to do with the espionage things, I want windows back, i was crying he made me laugh for a week, i enjoyed listening to his voice messages on WhatsApp, whenever i get upset i listen to him and get excited hahahahhaha espionage? Do you think he let it go? Every 2 days i receive a voice message complaining about Zorin and how i was spying on him hahaha I explained over and over how secure linux is and how Microsoft knows everything he does on his machine, after giving me a headache i sent a friend and he installed ms 7 back and i never heard of him again

The Search Engine Guide for Developers.

The Top Ten:

StartPage: for technical information and unbiased spell checking phrases.

DuckDuckgo: for watching music videos at work.

All the rest: including "Bing Bong".

Team leads who act like they're the terminal god, but screw up every single rebase they touch 😡.

Yet, I, who stick to git GUIs have almost never had a git problem 🤷‍♂️

My boss just won't read things! Today's example:

Me: There's an issue when there isn't an image on an item. (Picture attached)
Boss: If the image exists it's probably a permission issue.

This is just the latest in a very long list of examples. I wrote off most of the others since they were often in a longer paragraph or complicated issues, but this was literally one sentence and he skipped half of it.

TIL that there was a KDE port for Windows.

I became potus and wanted to cut military spending, but my cat learned how to pronounce the word “representative” and kept saying I was a bad representative

If the dutchies had any balls they would declare war on the USA over the haag invasion act. Clearly a cassus belli.

But they're too busy whining about arabs lmao. What a bunch of submissive cunts.

My new favourite error message:
error: "Callable[...]" not callable

"Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was"

I've come to love this quote. We, the engineers, are shaping the world. We have the tools, knowhow and expertise to move mountains.

I said it before years ago and I'll say it again: all the other roles are meant to assist us, not the other way around. We don't work for managers, sales dept., bosses. They can't do shit without us. Why do we need them? To buy us toys, to sell our creations and suggest us how to shape our creations to make a better sell.

Quit slaving if you feel you are a professional. Quit bending over to sales' and mgmt nonsense timelines and demands. Hear them out, consider their concerns and give them YOUR estimates and approaches.

WE are the power of creation. THEY work for us. Not the other way around.

Does not apply to juniors. They are still learning their way around

figured maybe you can specify dependencies specifically to be used in main.rs (as a standalone executable) or lib.rs (as a library)

since for some reason there's dev-dependencies which specifies they will only be used in tests or whatever

well rust actually doesn't compile code that wasn't ever called / would be run (and nags you about code you have but didn't use anywhere). this means binaries are smaller and all that. i've known about this but seemingly the AI insists nobody needs to specify dependency differences between main.rs and lib.rs because of this quirk of rust compiling

ok well then why the hell is there a dev dependencies and a normal dependencies then?

well no good reason.
- "intentionality" -- how about the clarity of intentionality between being an executable or a library?! no? guess not
- build optimization, because traversing usability graphs can be taxing especially in big projects. ok. again still applies to executable vs library problem
- "community and ecosystem practices". really? we've always done it this way? shove it 🙄😩. you try to innovative and then willfully inherit the problems you solved of other languages... because that's how we've always done it. lame

double standards. so annoying

Americans love suing so much that they be calling their daughters Sue

I really dislike it when non-devs ask devs: "I don't understand. What could be so hard about coding?".

Grumble. FredFlintStoneGrumble.
