If you want to know how bad the job market is in India, a colleague told me that he got offered a job from an employer, where the condition is he has to give 20% of his paycheck back to the employer in their other bank account.8

Welp, I made a chatGPT bot, which talks to Amazon support instead of me lol .
So far there is 48 hours of discussions and my bot insist on pick up on my location to return and thier is you need to print label and bring it to postal service.
I'll let the 2 bots figure it out3 -
I realized that I am old enough now that the first answer to "name a toy adults use in the bedroom" that comes to mind is: Kindle5

Retoor's recent bot army fiasco is why we don't put AI in charge of anything. It wasn't a bug in her code, it was her AI misinterpreting her prompts while having access to the data bots act upon. Essentially, retoor's AI added a lot of legitimate users to the list of spammers, and the issue was in prompting, not in code.10

The third most significant world altering scenario after ww3 and climate catastrophe is deglobalization, with countries closing their borders and moving production inland. I analyzed everything, and France seems to be the best place to live if it happens. Here’s why:
- It’s a democracy with strong culture of political opposition
- Strong economy
- It produces its own military equipment: Leclerc tanks, Dassault Rafale/Mirage 2000 fighter jets (and others), Mistral battle ships
- It has a very strong army, including the infamous foreign legion
- It can make its own passenger jets
- It produces a lot of food — enough to sustain itself many times over
- Great climate diversity
- Sea
- Nuclear energy. When gas/oil-exporting states like russia and middle eastern countries stop exporting, nuclear energy will make all the difference in the world.
Every other country that can compete in those categories fail miserably in one of them:
- Germany is a good all-rounder as well, but is too dependent on importing fossil fuels
- USA has the strongest economy and military, but it’s very divided
- China has a lot of resources, including production and nuclear energy, but it’s a dictatorship
- Russia is a dictatorship too, and a disfunctional one. It’s bad at food production too
- Nordic states are way too cold, and they get too few sunny days — keeping your body healthy might be a challenge. Also, no growing food there

Do you know that app where you catch monsters by throwing balls at them?
It's called tinder I think9 -
Angular is a pile of dog shit.
Making web dev unbearable and harder since 2010 (or 2016 if you ignore AngularJS).
Fuck you, Miško Hevery5 -
Wife's driving me nuts
Work is driving me nuts
At least my kids are awesome!
Maybe getting a new job would help. I'd probably need two new jobs to match this one though5 -
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 is2 -
Batman will never work in real life.
Like there is only one batmanand only one gordon. (Yeah robins and batgirls and batwoman, max 5? but they always go together)
What happens if crimes happen simultaneously? Like 10 crimes at the same time? It's a big city.
Then one manning doesn't work.
you need at least 50 batmans and entire corporation of gordons.
But entire Batman's story is stupid. It's an economic problem. Fix the economy and you will get less crimes.10 -
I'm in Germany.
While being the same race, they're obviously from a different world. I wonder if @Lensflare has more style than his fellow citizens.
Most Germans are Dutch without support for CSS. The country of times new Roman I guess.
They buy apple products to compensate for theur own style. That's how much money is needed to make a German hip.26 -
I have been told to create smaller PRs, so now every big PR has a few other smaller ones associated. Hope my manager will be happy.11

Using RDP to remote into an edge server just to press the restart button feels like just one step over actually walking there and pressing the physical button.
Yes I currently have to do that alot because so many fucking systems are flaky as shit!2 -
I'm a sick to fucking death of reading 'documentation' by developers who assume you know everything they did at the time of writing and so leave out 90% of the context that would make the documentation make any sense.
Listen to me. If you are writing instructions on how to do something you have 2 options.
1. Write steps that are so detailed a person who has never touched the system could do them
2. Give enough information for a person who has never touched the system to work it out for themselves.
NOT. LET ME REPEAT MYSELF. NOT: 3. Give some half assed info that assumes you had already been working on the system and practically knew everything anyway.
If I had already been working in this area I WOULDNT NEED THE FUCKING DOCUMENTATION TO BEGIN WITH.10 -
Here in Germany we have early elections, because the current government failed due to internal disagreement. And as usual, each of them promises everything you can think of, just to get some more votes.
Lucky me, we have "die Partei" (yes, that's there literal name), who are basically just trolling everyone. Just checkout out their party platform for this election: https://www.die-partei.de/btw25/ (can be easily translated).
And yes, they can be elected. :)))11
