So apparantly Cyberpunk 2077 runs on the Switch 2. What fuckery did Nvidia do to make that happen?!??!

Best meme event coming up:

FINALLY IM HOME AND IMMEDIATELY SHITTING AND FARTING SO SO MUCH I FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA PASS OUT FROM HOLDING ALL THE SHIT FOR SO LONGGGG

Thought experiment (and I promise there are no plot twists and no metaphors -- it won't turn out that I was talking about tiktok/apple/censorship):

Imagine there is a cosmic horror entity that can annihilate us in an instant. It lives at the bottom of a pit. We as a species are being constantly sucked into that pit -- in this fictional universe, it's the natural order of life. The pit devoured many before us, and we're next. The pit is not conscious -- it's just a force that exists, and like a black hole, it can do nothing but attract things around it just to devour them. It has no choice -- it destroys things passively. It never changes the way it destroys things.

We know we should've been already done for long ago, yet we are still alive. We know that at this scale, it wasn't because of something WE did or didn't do.

It can only mean one thing: a very powerful entity consciously keeps us alive.

Can this entity be called "god"? If yes, why? If no, why?

Choosing either way tells nothing about you and your religious beliefs -- the universe is pure fiction, and known gods/religions don't work there. All I need from you is raw thought process.

Stack Overflow has the best April fools prank!

They are doing an 8+ hour database migration on a business day during business hours!

The prank is the fact that it’s not a joke! They really decided this for some reason!

Brb. I need to sleep.

Do you know what a head on a stick is called? Onlyjayus

You know what sucks? When AI appears smart but its explaination is so over your head you don't even fully grasp if it is bullshitting or not.

For reference, what the following does is decomposes several runs of a network, takes them as samples, then generates a distribution with those samples. It then applies a fourier transform on the samples, to get the frequency components of the networks derivatives (first and second order), in order to find winning subnetworks to tune, and enforces a gaussian distribution in the process.

I sort of understand that, but the rest is basically rocket science to me.

Starts with an explanation of basic neural nets and goes from there. Most of the meat of the discussion is at the bottom.

You know these bugs, that disappear when you add logging?

Got this message from my CEO: "When are we going to have a perfect working version? 100% sure without bugs? "

How do I even respond to this? "We are wondering the same"?

(for context, he requested an early alpha build of a certain feature)

How is the weekend going?

How often do you do something other than what you were thinking?

So there I was, maintaining our rock-solid Java 7 codebase, older than this Gen Z intern who still thinks floppy disks are 3D-printed save icons.

First day in, he’s like, “Bro, let’s rewrite this in Next.js! Microservices! Serverless! AI!”

Son, this code has been running longer than your TikTok attention span. It doesn’t need scaling, it needs to keep working.

But nooo, he wants TypeScript. He wants to Dockerize a Hello World. He saw a YouTube tutorial and now thinks Java is dead.

I asked, "Why do we need microservices?"

Silence. Blank stare. You could hear a single thread in our monolith peacefully executing a transaction.

Then he mumbled something about "scalability" and "modern architecture"—like we’re running a billion-dollar SaaS, not a POS that’s been happily running since the Nokia ringtone era.

Microservices? Buddy, our biggest spike is the Sunday brunch buffet reservations when the retirees remember they have grandkids. Sit down.

The industry is so incredibly demanding beyond measure.

Please be proficient in:
- Java, C#, Python, TypeScript, ReactJS, AI, UX, COBOL, AWS, DevOps, security, SecOps, Linux, Unix, System Administration, Database Administration,...

Yeah? Give me six years then before you try to overload me with stress in having to deliver top quality code using these.

I actively try to diminish stress in my life and the major cause of stress is my job.

what brothers me is the experience requirements like motherfucker, if I had all those years I'd be retired by now. you gov? wanna cut my pension is it?

OK then

Him: Hey your program doesn't work
Me: what's the error
Error: malformed data file
Me: where'd you get that data file?
Him: oh in this new place I saw
Me: that's not the correct data file for that command
Him: are you sure? This is more convenient for me
Me: the command needs the correct data from the correct source....

My workplace just lost a contract that would bring us a €20000 revenue because the CEO refused to spend €5.

Sorry, but my brain will forever read “MSRP” as “Microsoft Retail Price”.

This comic is completely generated by AI. Yes, the new image generator update in GPT-4o is insane! 🚀

Dear HR,

You're so incompetent, had I followed your instructions I'd have broken the law and endangered my life.

Get fucked.

If he was a super hero he would be called Understatement Man.

Who needs BDSM when we have comms channels' outages in the middle of a PROD release.

Then again, who in his right mind uses Telegram for company comms....

My LLM can beat your LLM.

Only accepted if at least 50% of your code is AI generated / vibe coded. Imagine, they're even asking for it.

But that's very interesting. There is not a decent vibe coding tool in the market imho.

So, where the fuck do all those people that coding in? Just with copilot or so?

Afaik - real vibe coding is just not possible. Those people who say they generated games with vibe coding are actually just programmers tweaking a lot.

I have to say, there is quite some to learn about vibe coding (using my own tool) but to call it really a skill... It's stuff that is learned very fast. So especially asking for vibe coding experience is just idiotic.

I'm programming snek in snek. It offers now linux to every user. It's capped at 0.5 core and 512mb. It works fine. They new storage works great, that's how i could make this possible. With all this containers running (four at the moment) the server has a load of 0.17. Only doing git repositories in the container goes a bit slow because it goes over the network using sshfs. System seems stable. It's just cool to have a linux terminal in your web app. We can run snekbots in snek itself now! Develop and manage it in snek! I don't have picked a target audience yet for snek, but i think it's devs.

We just had a server outage this morning and my colleague was heading to the office. He was already in a meeting on his phone and got stopped by the police for calling while driving.

He got a fine, lost his driving license for 2 weeks and has to go police court for it. That's an expensive server outage for him

A new deployment is planned tomorrow. Fourth try is the charm 🙃

Every time you scroll past this without upvoting, a junior dev pushes straight to main, and a senior dev sighs in despair. Save the repo. Upvote.

What’s the most frustrating bug you've ever encountered, and how did you finally fix it (or did you just give up and rewrite everything)?
