Having an Active Noise-Cancelling headset is a gift to a Software Developer. Concentrated engineering in any noisy environment.
The dawn of a new generation in luxury personal equipment.
The ANC headset is a premium lightweight, high-performance headset that meets the demands of the new generation of upper-income urban software developers.
The ANC has the conveniences of earplugs, a wireless communications device, and a device without wires.
Muting power is a matter of convenience with the ANC headset.9 -
As a developer in Germany, I don't understand why anything related to development like IDEs, git clients and source code documentation should be localized/translated.
Code is written in english, configuration files too. Any technology, any command name in a terminal, every name of a tool or code library, every keyword in a programming language is written in english. English is the language of every developer. And English is simply a required skill for a developer.
Yet almost everything nowadays is translated to many other languages, espacially MS products. That makes development harder for me.
My visual studio menus are a mess of random german/english entries due to 3rd party extensions.
My git client, "source tree" uses wierd translations of the words "push" and "commit". These commands are git features! They should not be translated!
Buttons and text labels in dev tools often cut the text off because they were designed for english and the translated text is bigger and does not fit anymore. Apparently no one is testing their software in translated mode.
And the worst of all: translated fucking exception and error massages! Good luck searching for them online.
Apple does one thing damn right. They are keeping all development related stuff english (IDE, documentation). Not wasting money on translations which no developer needs.20 -
Dear diary,
Today with my dad at AI expo, and it was the best person to go with. He has learnt reinforcement learning and ocr. Never enjoyed a museum together that much. There were also steam engines and minecraft carts and elevator.
Did you know that the car years ago was considered dangerous bevause you didn't have a horse to protect you from mistakes? In horses we trust, nit in Tesla.
It was a great day.8 -
How is platonism still so prevalent among mathematicians?
We know by now that there are different mathematical models depending on different axioms, like the axiom of choice. You can include or omit it from the model and you get consistent and useful but different mathematics in either case.
And there are other examples.
How does this not make it obvious that formalism, rather than platonism, is true?27 -
Hospitals creep the fuck outta me. The excess smell of Dettol makes me wonder how many people died within a 10 meter radius and if any of them are "lingering" around.10

Found a nice house I want to buy. It is at the moment in foreclosure. So, we need the documents for it, to see if it worth it.
Documents are held by an agency. They want 360 € as an annual subscription service to share it with us. Sure.. No issue, let's contact the court.
Oh, the court says they cannot give us a copy, we can just look at it. After making an appointment in person and driving down there. How is the agency getting it, then? After all, the agency promises access to all foreclosure documents Germany wide. They can give me a fucking copy. Court states on its website, there won't be any answer via email. I need to call them and go down in person.
Well, this is why the game is rigged. I have nothing against a service that accumulates all these information from around the country. That's a fair business model. But then the enshittification started and everyone else gets worse service so I have little choice but to use their service.4 -
do you ever separate the structure of a collection from the values held within to allow queries about the structure to be deferred arbitrarily without keeping the values alive through that reference, or is my project just terminally fucked?5

They say 90% of code will be generated by AI.
I say 90% of code is already copy paste from old projects or the internet. 😂6 -
So let's settle the TAB vs SPACE debate once and for all. Loser have to leave town at down covered with feathers and tar.
From the era of typewritter, we inherited a key to bring the carriage to a specific column, aka INDENT. It's the tab key. Space key are there to separate WORDS.
Whoever use SPACE for tabulation/indentation is a fucking idiot. Just imagine this bafoon having to set his fancy jetbrainz IDE to do something that typewritters can do for 150 years, and then having to press backspace 4 time like a parkinsonian retard.
They are dangerous people who are probably anally raping cute kittenz as we speak.

I am really going nuts about everyone using ChatGPT. Had literally discussions 'bUt cHaTgPt sAyS iTs TrUe', when the docs said clearly thats not the case.
Also the "code" produced is just what the hell?!
I hope this damn hype will end soon12 -
Androids process management needs an overhaul
I run video transcoder in termux and sometimes it bogs down the ui9 -
Friendly reminder:
Be irreplaceable. Don't code clean code. Codely it messy. Make it so fucked up that only you understand the codebase.
Make it LLM model can't understand jack shit.
Then ask for higher pay, otherwise resign leaving them a messy code
😅😅😅🤣

If fungi were able to evolve as fast as viruses do, Earth would’ve been called ᖃᓂᐅᔮᖅᐸᐃꙮᑦᑖᒻ ᔅᑳᑦ, fungi would’ve ruled it, and every other life form would’ve been put in their zoos.
Imagine: one huge fungus, a unified consciousness, the size of our planet.11 -

website publishers ary whining about adblockers, but keep shoving so much shit down our throats that even a dozen browser addons can't make the web usable. the internet was such a great place once, where did we go wrong?
(rhetorical question. it's when we made access to the internet so easy, that every 100% tech-illiterate idiot could get online.)13 -
customer: "hey, feature X is broken!"
me: *asks for details
customer, one week later: "feature X contains information about Y, that *must not* be"
me: *looks at code, at git-history, at related tickets
customer, one year ago: "hey, feature X *must* contain information about Y"
me, all the time: :-|4 -
Dreams are like this. In my dream I got fan of a band, had a whole adventure with them. It was long long long. Then in the end, I wanted to rip their CD, because CD eight was awesome. I put CD eight in the computer (that magically still had a CD drive) and started to crunch hard, how to rip an audio CD on linux? Not knowing made me wake up shocked. Frustrated as fuck.
So, now I am fan of a band, no idea how the music goes and what fucking music program is used to rip a CD on linux?
Aaaargh.13
