A forty-five minute daily standup for a team of twelve is absolutely criminal and I feel like I'm the insane one for being the only one to not be okay with that.2

I was reading FreeRTOS documentation today and was reminded of ostream.
"Tasks are normally implemented as an infinite loop; the function which implements the task must never attempt to return or exit. Tasks can, however, delete themselves."6 -
geez
I wondered if there's like a "best of AI" subreddit or something. some actual genuine fun, memes around AI and what people do with it. but there isn't. best I found is an AI forum but it's everyone complaining about if their jobs will be taken away from them or not
dead tech, 100% man. nobody is actually excited about this or making use of it. I think everyone just hates it
... earlier heard a dude say AI gets 10% of things wrong, and when it gets it wrong it's like a drunk teenager eating lead. I think 10% is a serious underestimation... the guy claims he doesn't let his AI make actual decisions/responses/reactions/control anything at his company... but he's using it to tell him its judgements on data in his system. if the AI can't be trusted to reply, why are you trusting it to understand without verifying it yourself? he thinks he's being so clever with that... but it just never occurred to him it could be making errors in its perceptions. if it's soooo badly dangerous that it often deletes whole systems when given access there is absolutely no reason to think it doesn't "seriously misjudge" the data it looks at to begin with... it SERIOUSLY MISJUDGING the data it's looking at is probably how it's ending up deleting various systems? this guy just doesn't think to check. I guess perceptions are considered cheap but they're the most expensive thing there is -- because EVERYTHING is downstream from perceptions. OODA loop. my god. and this guy thinks he's an AI skeptic...
we're all just folly to our human laziness I suppose7 -
Have you ever wondered what happened w/ all the unsold devDucks?
Pyramid Head Duck: https://amazon.co.uk/TUBBZ-First-Si... ,
Merchant duck /* "Welcome! Got a selection of good things on sale, stranger!" */ : https://amazon.co.uk/TUBBZ-Boxed-Co... , etc.

Found those purely by accident, given how I had been looking for controllers.4 -
In DOS: *(char*)0xB8000 = 'A'; would literally put an A on the screen.
Did you check this? fucking amazing, would love to get my hands on an old IBM machine running this DOS2 -

bruhh no wonder the D&D crowd is so annoying. so much brainwashing smh4 -
I don’t know if someone made this joke already (most probably yes), but…
The opposite of increment isn’t decrement. It’s excrement.11 -

RIP jew, may satan be with you (this is common sens as jews worship satan).15 -
is there something you regretted not having asked, or could've made your life better had you tried to ask it? what about something now you could ask that could make your life better, or fun, or interesting, etc, whatever?3

I wonder if I should start looking for new work. I've only been at the current shop for 8 months, I could potentially get them to pay for part of my MBA (although I'd have to stay at the company for a year after reimbursement) and there might be management positions I can apply for once our current massive project goes live.
Still, I hate working with .NET, the AI stuff is making all our software worse, and it's still going to be difficult to get even close to my former pay level with local jobs in this town.
I'm just tired. I actually miss the company I got laid off from, but I'd also never go back there.7 -
Coding privately:
"Ah... :typing:, click, having a look... run... edit... draw on paper.. think about it.. edit.. recompile.."
Coding at work:
"type as fast as possible and make a jumbled mess of everything and in the end deliver something that barely runs and meets requirements, only to have tons of headache from every company layer later, mandated by themselves"26 -
A developer's life in 4 lines
1.My code doesn’t work. I don't know why.
2.My code works. I don't know why.
3.I change nothing.
4.My code stops working. I still don't know why.
Is it just me, or is "hope" the most common programming language?14 -
My manager has delayed our 1-on-1 by an undisclosed amount of time and it just sucks. It's been hours now.9

I created a report a few weeks ago about the game's display being fucked up due to the sensor housing && the required inset, explicitly mentioning the iPhone X as a device that was tested...
...Got a reply from the lead tester that he && his underlings were unable to reproduce the issue on the iPhone 8.
Well _no fucking shit_. Why _the fuck_ would you try reproducing an issue about sensor housing && insets using a phone w/o that feature?
Fuck me... another day, another retard...4 -
The following game is currently free to claim on steam. You can claim it and play it later (or never)

Blyat. Actually finishing with the notifications themselves wasn't really that hard, there was less work than I thought. But instead what was hard, is god damn doing background shit in Android.
Fucking spent the entire day today (well, not wntire but something like 6h) trying ,any different ways to make the app "poll" in the background, checking the RSS for mentions, and after trying so many, fucking none of them work.
Also fuck the android docs so much. I fucking hate this platform(Android, nor dR).
So I guess no notifications in the background for now, only when in the app.
I'll do the "correct" thing and do the stupid Firebase thing, that will be for a future version tho. Ugggh, I could've been done by now if not for this stupid shit.5 -
You can build a fully functional SaaS without spending a penny 💡
Core stack:
• Supabase → database & storage
• Upstash → Redis cache
• Netlify → hosting
• Zoho → email inbox
• Resend → transactional emails
• Google Analytics → analytics
• cron-job.org → scheduled jobs
• Free AI coding tools → dev acceleration
You can even extend it further — still at $0:
• Expo → build mobile apps
• Chrome Extensions → same backend
⚠️ Costs to consider:
• Domain (or use free Netlify subdomain)
• App store listings:
– Android → one-time fee
– Chrome → one-time fee
– iOS → yearly fee
Idea → live product with almost zero cost 🚀4 -
Added profile pictures finally since that was a thing that's bothering me, it makes such a huge difference.
Before and after because it won't let me add links in the post for some reason?....6 -
ECMAScript compatibility table. Awesome. Reminds me of caniuse.

Maybe it's just me but TypeScript seems to be loosey like JavaScript in certain ways in that it is quite flexible. Function overloading, type inference, and so on... lol.
Is that good design? Perhaps.4 -
