Day 31 or starving myself to death challenge. I feel good because of what retoor said to me yesterday

wtf the sun doesn't burn things and cause energy

it's a damned tuning fork

also it's wild to me people think brains physically store memories... I was only precursor looking into how brains work cuz that's what AI is based on and I could tell from the math that brains situationally encode memories... and by the way it's doing it small stuff like electromagnetism would make a WORLD a difference. you cannot read a person's mind and steal their memories. it's encoded only for them. I thought that was so cool.

they were trying to decode people's dreams into images for example. silly globalists trying to crack the the natural encryption system of the universe!

Missing a meeting because I was reading devRant. Worth it.

got this hilarious phishing email today. check the sender's email

Got to stage 3 of 5 of an inteview and just discovered the person at stage 4 decides who is qualified to continue, interviews are crazy this days, am lucky i got a job and am not desperate else i would be screwed by this assholes 😡.

Why does the girl in the Google Meet permission dialog have anal beads for hair?

I want to open a private rehab where I would delete your social media accounts, take your phone/laptop/internet access away, get you treated by a psychiatrist, make you take your pills on time every time, make you work, then spend your free time on quality things like reading books or making art, or exercising, or just sleeping, and when you disobey and say this and that — I'll beat you with a fucking whip. Oh, and you'll have a normal balanced diet with no junk food, sugar or sweeteners.
I swear to god that 90% of people's problems are solved by therapy followed by cattle prodding.

Congratulations to the devrant app developer

I can tell it was written by a decent dev

Where other lazy things like graphical browsers fail when my phone is being throttled via my high speed data running out, somehow this app runs on the equivalent of 90s dial up speeds

Thanks for something to do lol

Presenting your work and disabling all breakpoints sometimes feels like a driving license test but the brakes are disabled. Just pray nothing unexpected happens.

was looking for this for months, now I'm a happy kid =]

For people complaining that devRant is oh so dying and what not, it's you being dead inside. See my messages(https://devrant.com/users/retoor/...) this is full time messaging for a few hours now. It's alive and kicking, i assure you. I tried to work on something tonight but got totally distracted. Very terrible for my dev statistics since I monitory myself very well (automated).

The time I had left between messages were spent on Snek chat.

Heavy life.

People in the USA: We have a fetish for feet.

People in Europe: We are into meters.

Why do Europe people kink shame USA people?

This (https://devrant.molodetz.nl/Queers-...) is exactly the kinda sound of one of my former bosses made when I refused to spend a dime or a second to bring my lease car back to the company. He could pick it up, what can he do about it? Exactly, there's no one to enforce you to do that in reality and I woke him up, out of his dream world. IT'S IN THE CONTRACT!! What contact? I HAVE A SIGNED CONTRACT OF YOU HERE IN FRONT OF ME! Hmm, I'm pretty sure that I didn't sign one. Anyway what were we talking about? "WRAAAAAAHHHH".

I'm weak. I felt so bad for the guy that I brought it back with a friend making me not to have to pick it up ostream style (wasting money on the worst comfort to mankind, public transport, the transport for the confused, students and the special and on top a grandma wishing she had a better pension).

I sign almost any contact, good luck with enforcing. Most if them have "damage" - claims that won't last like thousand or even ten thousand a day. Make it a hundred, I'll sign it with the worst drawn dog in history. I've learnt from the best.

No, after more than 15 years, I still can't draw a good dog.

Forgot to give charger back, called about it. They just hang up on me. C'mon, you know what want. One more time and I put in the mail some day.

I hope I made someone spare a train ticket in the future with my inspirational story. Power to you.

So I have heard that some neuroscientists think brain function might be operating on a quantum level. I also know we are inching closer to quantum computing.

Does this mean as these two sciences converge we may develop consciousness transfer when they do?

I want a game world that has magic, tech, and rpg elements. Single player. Maybe some modern world too.

I have ideas where it starts medieval and introduces magic and tech due to parallel worlds/civilizations. I would link magic and tech at a base level so they interact. It would also be a lot of bullshit fiction to make this happen.

I thought about starting in modern world that makes contact to parallel worlds and this starts chain reactions of conflict inter-dimensionally. That would allow for anything to go at that point.

Anyway, just posting my thoughts. In the end I will rely heavily on player suspension of disbelief. They will either accept my bullshit or play something else.

Welcome to my fucked up world bitches!

So those fucking terrorists in charge over here want to raise VAT by 2%

Outsourcing company offered me a 6 month contract....

The freelancing is pretty slow right now so I basically have to take it. Only thing is the interview was so long ago I can't remember where or who the client is

My god why are all parser combinator libraries in Rust so bad??

Is it too much to ask for to parse a normal ass programming language with error recovery???? That's like 99.99% of what people need a parsing library for and somehow error recovery is always some weird after thought bandaged on after the fact

For fucks sake, I'm finally getting over the urge to reinvent the wheel all the time, but now all the libraries suck ass so I have to. Arrghh!

Ain’t no way doing cocaine feels better than cumming.

what a time to be alive!!!

Some people have a very confusing way of communicating things…
And you need to painfully pull out of them every bit of information.

Colleague:

```
ITEM_ID <- only this will work
1200
1201
1300
1301
1400
1401
```

Me:

What does this list mean?
(I want to know if this is supposed to be a white list, but that doesn‘t make sense business wise)

Colleague:

*explains what the ITEM_ID means*

Me:

(Yeah I know what it means)
Are those ids in the list examples or the only possible values?

Colleague:

Yes, examples. But there are restrictions. Not all will work.

Me:

(Ok this is confusing again)
What are the restrictions?

Colleague:

*Explains the restrictions.*
(Those have nothing to do with the list)

That's funny

Anyone else sick of repetitive talking
Bullshit excuses
And civilization history and technology and progress in our economic system being held hostage by fucking whacked out psychos?

Christ I sure am

You know
Once I write code
And it remains relevant because perhaps it's simple things that won't change much

I expect the bullshit to stay put

Not to have motherfuckers deciding what belongs to me and what does not

My senior systems development manager created a pull request for the API. The PR has some database changes such as new columns, as I was testing it locally, I found out that those new columns don't have any migration file (which we're always doing when doing database changes).

So I asked why we don't have any migration for those new columns.

Then he answered that I should run some SQL script to add the columns and he doesn't have any migration and is proud to say he's using the central DB (test and live).

I also checked the Live database and was so surprised to see those columns...

Then again, I asked why we already have the columns in the Live database where in the PR isn't merged yet.

Then he answered again, I should think ahead. there are many ways to add the columns.

Like WTF??? Don't we need any migration?

I asked, if we use a fresh DB, what happens if there is no record of those columns in the migration files?

Has anyone tried to write something in Python with disabled GIL already? Which difference did you see?
