Angular is not fun to work with. The amount of jumping between files to do a thing is tiring. And its documentation fucking sucks.

I guess I'm just used to single file components and Laravel's amazing docs...

What is it about long winded articles for a two second one click solution?

A quick search to find out how to change the control panel to classic view in windows 7. (because I forgot and the windows Operating system is no longer intuitive and Dev-friendly).

Search engine: (Insert hundreds of articles here!)

Solution: Click on large Icons where it says "View by".

Search engine: (Enjoy sifting through this pile of results written by thousands of gas-bags, you looser!).

Rocking back 'n forward sitting in the corner of the room holding my legs against my chest: "Shut up, I forgot okay!"

Why would it not just Say "Classic view"?

We are in AI era but screen readers and softwares for disabled people are still immensely retarded, so we still have to do accessibility by hand, now enforced by EU.

rust is just ugly

New internet 🥵 Imma stream 8K 3D porn now

Several years ago I spent over two months working out how to integrate Text To Speech and Speech To Text (TTS/STT) into any windows program I wrote in Delphi, originally for a powerful flat-file search engine. Does anyone know if TTS/STT is useful on windows 10+ or have any use?

I was thinking about redeveloping the search engine into a stand alone program which can be used as a fast and light query tool with trigger functions, it can be made into a "reply bot" or used with a server like Apache, but without the old IBM mainframe mentality being readopted as "AI" and "social media" everywhere today. low-level Independent and secure droid like systems sound more fun to develop.

A company weekend in a homestead with a bathhouse and a cold pond.

After a good bathing [~x6 cycles] I'm in my bedroom [left the party early, really want to enjoy the calm and silence]. I thought it would be a good idea to charge my ITware overnight.

Apparently there's only 1 wall socket in the room. And now I have to choose: whether I want an electric heater to basically stay alive until the morning, or a full phone and lappy battery in the morning...

I made the choice

If codeine drips from her pussy, we call her Portable Wikipedia.

My brothers friend messages me on discord asking for help making their chatgpt generated code look more human

Turns out he put his class work on hold till the last day and wants AI to save his gpa

Not my problem. I didn't reply. I don't have time for this shit

So I realized if done correctly, an autoencoder is really just a bootleg token dictionary.

If we take some input, and pass it through a custom hashfunction that strictly produces hashes with only digits as output, then we can train a network, store the weights and biases, and then train a decoder on top of that.

Using random drop out on the input-output pairs, we can do distillation of the weights and biases to find subgraphs that further condense this embedding.

Why have a token dictionary at all?

My wife just told me she loved regexes… should I get a divorce?

I love writing job control code

Ok mate, you know what, you can FUCK. OFF.

MY H1 HAD EXTRA SPACE AT THE TOP. DEVTOOLS ELEMENT SHOWED NO DIFFERENCE.
I COMBED THROUGH THE FUCKING STYLES AND COMPUTED.
TURNS OUT IT WAS THE WHITESPACE THE FORMATTER WAS ADDING CAUSING LEADING \N

HEY CHROME DEVTOOLS.
HOW ABOUT IN ELEMENT VIEW.
YOU SHOW THE FUCKING PURE INNERHTML/INNERTEXT AND NOT JUST THE FUCKING NORMIE NON-DEVTOOLS TEXT THAT GETS RENDERED.
IM A FUCKING DEV.
THATS WHY ITS CALLED DEV TOOLS
SHOW
ME
EVERYTHING

FUCK

Turns out `white-space: nowrap` takes priority over every single other layout property used to constrain width and overflow, including these:

overflow
width
max-width
grid-template-column

But hey, CSS doesn't suck, you're just bad at it!

I hate complex boolean logic.

(true||false) && true || false || (true && false) ... etc (continue for at least ten clauses four times as long)

Why tf ServerAliveInterval 300 is not the default for SSH?

I'm reviewing a PR and it's easy to detect which functions were created with an AI: the ones that have comments.

Just leave the scroll alone!

purity might just be the most important thing when refactoring code you didn't write.

for real, if you purify everything in that code, future refactorings will go way smoother and reasoning even more so.

But it's no easy feat, sometimes you face cockroach code. cockroach code is code written nuke style. The fire and forget code that you shouldn't forget.

cockroach code's easy to spot. you can't know what cockroach code does without reading it's comments. roach code is fat, roach code retro feeds from different spots of macaroni. it does IO and everything else all bundled together.

roach code isn't easy to scratch out its async version. in fact, thats a property of roach code. If you can't make it async without a rewrite, you've got roach code.

i'm happy to share with you, skyRant, a devRant client is now available in the playstore.

the real devRant app may have been removed from app stores. But devRant will never die!

its two years since ive told a story here but lets go.

we got a new client, who is revamping their infrastructure. i gave some tasks to 2 dev ops guys (i am not devops). they were primarily bash scripts that needed to be altered. (ofc i can write scripts it takes a moment, its their jd)

after a week of chasing them around, getting no result from them, i end up doing it myself because client needs it and the company needs this client. for one task, they told me it does not apply to the component we were working on. (it did, and i did it)

we have a meeting with higher management, they asked me how did i implement it, i show my entire working, my backtracing etc (everyone knows this is how you approach huge system, component focused strict deadline task). it was infuriating how they approached it by trying to understand complete system in one week. i asked them why they hadn't taken component specific approach. they said they tried but failed because..

[this because is the whole reason for the rant, because i believe this because should be a fire-able offense]

..because we were not using VS code to find things in files

HOW IS WHAT TEXT EDITOR YOU USE OR DON'T USE AN EXCUSE

ARE YOU GUYS GETTING THIS?

A reminder. We'll never forget!

Not all small people use react. Some of them use python!

Last saturday, the CEO forced us to update one of the services that we are dependent out without any tests... The people responsible for it very much advised against it but they still did it.

Now, nearly a week later. The literal core feature is still broken with no fix in sight and rolling back is not possible apparently.

Cat of the day (mine!)

So apparently I'd been hired 2 emails ago, only because the email said "I've been told that you're starting with us in April" and not "you're hired" I didn't realize it. Extremely neurotypical behaviour.

Love working alongside Angular devs, I wanted to add a page with a table and a modal, ended up creating something like 15 files and I'm not even halfway through, must be nice living with a brain the size of a pea.
