Using ALL CAPS on subject line of your helpdesk ticket, isn’t going to have it actioned any sooner!1

If I was to name one reason I use Safari on my Mac, it would be internet captchas disappearing completely from all sites. And this is with privacy-protecting measures enabled. I tested them, and it fucks fingerprinters even better than resistFingerprinting flag does in Firefox, and that's HUGE.
It seems like Safari is so rarely used by bad actors that if you use Safari, you get a pass.3 -
moterfucking google stop wasting my time with your endless captcha bullshit.
You know exactly my fucking home IP, I don't have time to select your fucking bicycles, hydrants and buses.
And all you motherfuckers who use google captcha go fuck yourself because you are dumb as fuck7 -
Websites requiring recent browser versions indirectly puts control into the hands of browser vendors.
If users are forced to update, they are at the mercy of browser makers Google and Mozilla. Google and Mozilla can deliver whichever malicious feature they feel like, like mandatory add-on signing with updates.
Add-on signing is the thing that caused all extensions to be remotely disabled on May 3, 2019.
Also, Microsoft can disable your computer through an update if they wanted to.

my roommate is gone half the week because he's on vacation and I'm realizing I have no idea how to live alone and how weird that will be
I mean he's been gone before but... he's moving out later, and I've never lived alone before. there's some kind of weird psychological loss of safety from it, even though he's been kind of an unsupportive drag on me literally the whole time I've known him so it's literally fully irrational. I am in much confusion of feelings4 -
So I have been looking for game assets. I found some I liked from one site cgtrader. I check up on the site and find out the artists are fleeing the site in droves. Company doesn't charge the credit card what the invoice says. They are not paying artists correctly. The whole site seems to be imploding. They mention that they left Turbosquid for the same reason. So I end up looking at Artstation. Artstation is being overrun with cheap garbage AI models. I tried to update settings on that site and it tells me turn off adblock. WTF! I came to buy 3d models, not get ads pushed on me.
So I have come to the conclusion. There are artists out there with good content. But all the art brokers are fucked up. If anyone wanted to start a fair legit art site the time is now. Adopt a strict no AI policy and treat the artists well. They need a home.3 -
WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK CAN'T KENDO UI PRODUCE NORMAL FUCKING HTML AND PREDICTABLE GODDAMN BEHAVIOR I CAN EASILY WRITE GODDAMNED E2E TESTS FOR.
Shouldn't take me a fucking week to figure out how to get a fucking Kendo Integer Textbox to goddamned work in Cypress.
Fuck Kendo UI2 -
First, they came for those who Open Source'd code.
And I did not speak out, because my code could never be used by anyone out of the company, anyway.
Then, they came for the Trade Unionists.
And I did not speak out, because I was not in a union.
Then, they came for those who worked from home.
And I did not speak out, because I was granted an exception.
Then, they came for Scrum Masters and other Agile practitioners.
And I did not speak out, because fuck those spreadsheet jockeys productivity thespians.
Then, they came for in-house Data Analysts and Data Engineers.
And there was no one left to speak out for us.
Yeah, folks. The day finally came. I'm officially updating my LinkedIn and putting a ridiculous sash under my picture, "open to work". The Layoffs came for me, too.6 -
Game dev has never been more amazing. I am playing with different ideas for terrain. I want to modify terrain and build structures as part of game play. I thought about using a structure of my own to represent buildings and other structures. I got to thinking that maybe what I really want is voxels. So I decided to play with the Godot voxel plugin. I am looking at the "examples". Then I see this:
https://github.com/Zylann/...
"This is a 3D space game demo, with procedurally-generated planets." Wait what? I run the demo and I can fly to different planets and deform the terrain on each planet. This is a demo? Isn't this a main feature of NMS as a demo? Shocked but really excited. I can't wait to play with this.
Here is a screenshot from the demo:9 -
Why the hell do you keep commit+push your shit to the master branch! We have develop, feature and hotfix, you *************!
Just because you want to test something in prd environment, you don't mess with the master to build the production image. And you do not even rebase fucking develop branch and keep it out of sync you POS!
Excuse my language, thank you.10 -
A little example of how recriutment in IT works.
Mechanic gets a live mechanic skill test to get a job, as he really wants this job because of lack of money he asks recriuter couple of questions.
Mechanic: do I need to bring my own tools ?
HR: no everything will be provided in place
Mechanic: what would I do during this test ?
HR: everything will be explained just before the test I’m not an engineer so engineer will explain everything to you
The test day, mechainc goes to the test place and the recriuter says:
Recruiter: Your first task is really simple, please tighten those screws, you have 10 minutes
Mechanic: But I don't see the screw driver
Recriuter: I can't say to you how to do it, you figure something out
Mechanic somehow manages to tighten those screws using his belt
Recriuter: Ok so now tell me what force is needed to unscrew them and tell me if you did good if I’d say you need to tighten 1 million screws
Mechanic: I just want to do my job
Recruiter: Hey we are looking for people with broad experience for this position, of course you wont be asked to do that task but we want to know if you’re capable to do the job if we ask you.
Mechanic: answers the question that he will use tools and what devices he will use to measure the force
Recriuter: Can you write this as a mathematical equation ?
Mechanic: don’t know that
Recruiter: Well we can’t hire you we are looking for someone with more knowledge about the topic
Mechanic: But you keep asking me about the fucking screws
Recruiter: Watch your mouth sir because for me you are junior mechanics, you don’t know how to use proper tools and you barely manage to do the first task in time I would use: started elaborating about tools to tighten many screws at a time in a distributed fashion
Mechanic: but to run those tools I would need more than 10 minutes and besides that those are not here
Recruiter: yes they are, we open those doors to get them before our work you suppose to know that and we use those all the time, it was in job description, besides that it is recommended by company xyz to keep those tools behind blue doors, there is nothing here besides blue doors and room with tools and you didn’t know what blue doors are for, you need to learn the basics first
Mechanic resigns. 90% luck 10% skill
Every fucking time.7 -
Unconsciously mistyping pussy instead of putty in front of a colleague is still scarred to my bones especially the fact that s and t aren't even next to each other which makes it even more embarrassing3

"Kiki, I want you to, for the first time of your career at %company%, quit worrying about deadlines and just wander free. Forget about due projects, forget about everything, and just do your crazy experiments till the end of this month."
This was the one-to-one with our CEO today. Yes, I'm being paid to do whatever I want without time restrictions, as long as it is related to my field.
And you know what? At this stage of my life, I don't even want to exploit that, to weasel my way around definitions and justify doing nothing. I legit have three AI experiments to run, I have money to run them, I have time, and I for sure have motivation.
Good workplace is when doing nothing isn't the most desirable thing to do.6 -
You know what is really a dick move? It’s when devs start a literal timer once someone messages them, and once the timer is up, they read the message. Sometimes this can be like 30 minutes of minimum wait time for just a simple fucking question. This really pisses me off and speaks volumes to all the other devs (who they should actually make an attempt to collaborate with). Fucking inconsiderate assholes.12
