@inhamul normally I use the element inspector in Firefox to tweak be code and see real time results, then write all the code in vim

Can't say I've heard that one before. Most of the time when I hear someone say they need to update their BIOS, they tend to know what a PC needs to even turn on

@andpeterson Yes it does work, I believe that when you run a binary it loads it into RAM so it doesn't need to use the binary itself until the next time. And I just tested it by moving the rm binary to my home directory

$ cp /usr/bin/rm ~
$ ~/rm ~/rm

@Plasticnova Oh fuck you right man

$ sudo rm /usr/bin/rm
$ sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /
sudo: command not found: rm

@alexbrooklyn Indeed I did

@asgs That's why I put that it was a tinder story right at the start, so that if someone didn't want to read a tinder story they could skip over it. But I can put a tag on there next time (if there even is a next time, probably gonna delete tinder anyways).

Also I believe that personal issues are just as important, hence why a lot of my posts have been about my personal life, but if people actually complain about it i can cut it out.

@SukMikeHok @Condor Thanks for the support that i actually needed. I've personally always considered you guys and some of the other people here people that actually care about fellow devs' personal issues. It's just that when I'm not doing well mentally, I'm not motivated to write any code, meaning I won't have any dev stories to share.

The events of the past few days have gotten me kinda down, but I like to have somewhere that i can actually rant about what's going on. But like i said, if people don't want me posting about my personal life then it's whatever, I'll stop.

@Santaclauze I think it's possible. I just think it's shitty that it seemed like we had a connection and she just cut me off without a word

@alexbrooklyn All the nudes were sent over snapchat (I fucking know, but also notifications if pictures are screenshot/saved), and they were actual snaps (taken right then and there, never saved) rather than pictures that were already taken before. Plus I even asked her to take a couple pictures with specific instructions to prove that she was real, and she did it.

@Stuxnet Her friend was 16, the girl is 18..at least I think. She had graduation pictures hung up and shit

Are there electronic pillows? I FUCKING NEED TO KNOW

@theKarlisK You might be right, I think sometime this week I'll take a spare drive I have and throw a different distro on there, see if I can narrow down the problem even more.

@theKarlisK I mean, Nvidia drivers have always been a pain in the ass in my experience. Proprietary drivers are meh and...proprietary, open source drivers are shit and crash all the time. That's part of why I've always preferred AMD graphics.

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO POST THIS

@kurast Fuck, my bad. I've either been at work, asleep, or busy doing something.

Anyways, my friend had a wired Guitar Hero guitar controller, but the strumming wasn't working. I decided to take a look at it, see if I could figure out what was wrong with it. Turned out one of the switches was broken internally, so rather than ordering another switch, waiting some time, and just soldering it on, we decided to take the switch board out of a different guitar that was broken in another way.

The thing with that switch board, is that it didn't fit. So I spent some time brainstorming how to mount it in there. Eventually I came up with the idea to mount it to the original board and screw that in, but doing it normally would just leave the switches too close to the strum bar. He had the idea to basically cut a hole in the original board where the solder points would line up on the other board so it would sit flush. And that's what he did. He spent 20 minutes with a pocket knife cutting the hole out. We also ended up using little sticker pads to keep it secure on the board because we didn't have anything else.

Yes we could have done it differently. Yes we could have (probably should have) ordered a new switch (it was just an ALPS switch). But ya know what? We wanted it to work, and we wanted it to fucking work right then.

Ok I'm just about to go to work, when I get off I'll explain everything

@neoliun I'm in US, sorry

My favorite two things about this new job are the fact that I don't fucking hate it like I hated McDonald's, and I'll actually have money I can spend. With my most recent check from McDonald's, they had fucked my hours so much that I had $10 left after paying car insurance (only $124 a month).

I DID just get my check from insurance from when my car got hit (they're a pain in the ass to deal with, I hate insurance companies), so that's around $1000 to fall back on, but I shouldn't HAVE to fall back on it.

@platypus My dad's been building computers since around the 90s, so chances are they were just left over from those days, before he stopped. Although I do wish I had a processor fairy in my house.

@electrineer They are! The Athlon XPs and Pentium 3s are the last ones iirc. It feels weird having processors with exposed dies, makes me feel like they're naked

@heyheni Shittttt I always needed a solution to keep my coffee warm. What if I just ran a bunch of processors together to generate even more heat?

...Fuck I have 3 out of 4

I personally use ProtonMail. I really like it, even have a paid subscription. Never had a problem with it

You can't forget the black background with green text. YOU CAN'T FORGET IT

I was told that if I used PHP, then my imaginary girlfriend would leave me, so I've always had to do it at night when she's asleep

So I slept about 13 hours after that shit. Basically I laid down and just passed the fuck out almost immediately. That was a good feeling

@rutee07 I mean, melatonin never worked for me anyways. I tried it a few times around a year ago, and it just never did shit to me. It works just fine with my mom and brother tho (benadryl doesn't do shit to my brother, shit's weird with us).

As far as I know, there's no cheap hospitals here that could do a low-cost checkup. That's why I'm hoping I get this new job, then I can actually get an income that doesn't just go towards car insurance and gas and shit. (Plus then I could actually buy a Switch so we could play games together and not be set back most of my money ;D ) Cause you're too right, my parents just haven't taken it seriously.

It's at the point where I was tossing and turning for hours on end last night, until I just gave up on falling back asleep for more than a fucking hour. Ended up scrolling through devRant for a while and watching Tarantino movies on Netflix (god I love Pulp Fiction).

I'M RAMBLING AGAIN, I SHOULD FUCKING GO TO SLEEP NOW

That moment when everyone starts using your API instead of the function itself.

@NoToJavaScript See, I'm not against weed. It's just not my cup of tea. Plus the fact that it's illegal where I live, I'd rather not have to deal with possibly getting some shit laced with something. Every time I've smoked weed, it's always been in groups and I've always waited for everyone else to smoke some first just in case. Gotta save yourself I guess.

@Omnisus Yeah we do have pills in jars in the US, but we also have sheets. Kinda just depends on what you're buying. I know stuff like ibuprofen, benadryl, and excedrin come in jars, but we use sheets for sudafed. There's more examples but those are just the ones I tend to use more than anything else. Plus I'm tired and I really don't feel like thinking of more.

I actually have an interview for a much better job in a couple days, so if I end up getting it, I'm definitely gonna see someone about my problems.

I actually remember when I got my wisdom teeth taken out. I was 14, and it was 2 days before Christmas. I was prescribed painkillers but was told to take ibuprofen when I started to feel pain then the painkillers after a bit. One night, I couldn't get to sleep, and I started to feel pain. I had already taken benadryl, then I took ibuprofen then the painkillers. Still couldn't fall asleep, ended up kinda loopy for a few hours while all that shit was going on inside me.

Probably wasn't the best idea now that I think about it, but I did spend all that time playing with legos and watching Bojack Horseman, and I felt awesome. Never did it again cause I knew it wasn't a good idea and I didn't want to end up addicted to painkillers and shit at 14. Even stopped taking benadryl for a while. I've always hit a point where I have a resistance to it so I stop taking it for a while, then when the sleeping issues get bad again I start taking it again.

Kinda rambling at this point. I'm fucking tired, but I'm also trying to fix my sleep schedule anyways so I'm toughing it out for today.

@Jilano I haven't, because I just recently hit the point where I could go see one myself (turning 18, not even 6 months ago), but there's also the factor that I simply can't afford it in any way right now.

My parents know about my insomnia, and they both work in hospitals (my mom in the pharmacy, my dad doing maintenance). With my mom being in the pharmacy, her solution to everything is OTC medication. She probably takes more pills a day than anyone I've ever seen. New problem? There's a pill for that. My dad tends to leave that type of thing for my mom, because she works more with the medical side of hospitals that he does.

Whenever I can, I plan on seeing specialists and getting my shit sorted out, cause I'm a bit of a fucking mess. Basically when I have more consistent hours in a job (currently working 18 hours a week for $8.65 an hour). I just know that now, I'd have to take care of all that myself, which I just can't do right now.

Personally, I just try to work on smaller things. I've had a text file just full of things I want to get done at some point (image attached is the file currently, after spending this week getting a bunch of them done). As I go on working on smaller things, it gives me some motivation to work on bigger things, plus I learn stuff from doing the smaller things.

One thing I did just a couple days ago was a small script to upload an image to imgur. I'd actually never actually used an API other than a small GET request, so it taught me a bit about using an API. Don't know where that may help me, but ya never know.

A bit more: this friend got me into vaping, and a good amount of music, and she was in my car when I got into my accident a couple months ago. She was a huge influence on me for a while. It hurt to realize that she was just making my mental health worse, but I did my grieving a few weeks ago.

Hell, even my family knows her, and they LOVE her, especially my mom and younger sister.

Life feels kinda weird, moving on. But I like the direction it's headed toward.

For a while, she had me so down and depressed that I couldn't bring myself to write code for shit. Now I've spent the past 2 days working on my todo list of small projects. I'm proud of myself guys.
