Did you know that Set Theory is a fundamental building block for studying databases? : )

I miss when I was a junior sometimes. Just hammer out some code and go home at 5pm...

Main company: 3 juniors and me
3 daughter companies (acquired in the past 2 years)

CEO: "I want to make the best brandportal in the Netherlands."

Our main webshop: held together with ducttape and prayers, no brand management tools
Daughter companies got their own webshops.

There is no technical leader in the company.

We're migrating to another ERP somewhere this year and these airheads can't decide whether to keep existing products or not, let alone anything substential.
They want to outsource the connection between the shop and the ERP, despite that being the current situation and going horrible, but because in the new ERP some things cant be done we are introducing yet another management pane. Yay!

No sensible roadmap, got shot down when I asked being interim techlead/software/solution architect until we find someone...

My current manager literally dropped all her responsibilities onto a PM who doesnt know what the fuck to do either.

I'm sitting here pulling through because it'd look bad on my cv to quit another company so soon again despite the company having no future nor growth opportunities for me.

I seeth everyday, yet know if I drop out they'll have to crawl back to the external software dev company we inherited the shitshow from. Because you just need a few devs to have a dev team right?!

CEO actively boast about us saying they told her that it can't be done while our product crumbles bit by bit from architectural problems. It wasnt even designed as an webshop let alone a brand management tool..

One of these days I'll just go into consulting, it'll be just as soul crushing but atleast I get to keep a slightly larger slice of the pie and be able to say no to shit customers sometimes.

I just want to express that...

Because I had worked on a project 1 year ago, and with the other projects I had done in the mean time, picking this back up would be challenging. And guess what! I still have my comprehensive manual I wrote for it in detail! Beautiful! Everything neatly written, everything explained, every field, every troubelshooting issue!

I managed to solve every setup issue in seconds! Aah! Aah! Scream for joy. lol

Finally getting to really try out WSL2.

Something must have changed since I last tried it because it's working great running my Jetbrains IDEs graphically and I am able to run NGINX and MySQL no problem. I even have caja installed and it runs great too.

It feels so much snappier than VirtualBox, even though the GPU acceleration is still not really working.

I'm mixed on finally learning Docker. It's a kind of insidious evil that is damaging the industry in a hundred ways, but it is an industry staple so not learning it would be foolish.

I love the proliferation of these "there is too much american politics discussion in linux community :sob: why are u guys so political" posts online XD

My brother in christ have u ever seen RMS speak???

This was never 'apolitical' lmao.

The open source movement has always had a pretty well defined ideology, young people just forget cuz all they hear now is the corporate spin...

Freedom, the ability for anyone to use the software as they wish, the desire to share and collaborate with others, the beleif in the power of collaboration... Do these things not say a lot, about how these devs would prefer the world to work?

In 2025, only at Apple can you spend $3,268 on a smartphone + laptop combo and get a laptop with 16 GB of ram and a phone with USB 2.0.

using Thunderbird after apple mail feels like being manhandled in bed by a big beautiful 6'4" MILF. I mean it's fine, and she's hot, but damn she's huge and, dare I say,... monumental? I feel like a tiny male ant making love to huge female ant that is like 40 times bigger than I am

Yes, pdf a’s code of some kind is indeed ends with a space, and that space is mandatory. Who let uncle bob specify anything, anything at all?

504 Gateway Time-out

Motherfucking dogshit php websites made by Japanese cunts.

Fuck you.

would you prefer to get bigger bonus than see money wasted on company parties with expensive bands and foods ? am i the only one having the feeling, that as an adult professional, i prioritize more to get a good car or having a nice furniture , than having a good party?

When you work with old systems, file names start to sound weird.

lmao.

Or even worse... arbitrary, badly-named, domain-specific variable names:

rra_TLCK_PRCK

I mean, come on.

Vibe coding should be punished of 7 years in jail and a 10000€ fine. Doing so while screen sharing should add 2 years and 5000€ on top.

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.

1. English:
Hello, how are you?

Perfection...
There is a very good reason why the Internet is written in English and not Chinese.

2. Spanish:
Hola, ¿cómo estás?

Funny ass language. Beautiful women tho.

3. Chinese (Simplified):
你好，你怎么样？
(Nǐ hǎo, nǐ zěnme yàng?)

Ugly, disgusting and retarded. Honestly, you could create letters and then use the letters for words. Instead of creating new letter for every new word. You could really see they didn't really think this through. It started with simple characters, 一二三人. Then they hit scaling problem pretty quick. The problem is that they still use this ancient letters.

4. Japanese:
こんにちは、お元気ですか？
(Konnichiwa, ogenki desu ka?)

Actually, looks and sounds beautiful. But they still use the fucking Chinese letters.
I guess it's not as bad.

5. Korean:
안녕하세요, 어떻게 지내세요?
(Annyeonghaseyo, eotteoke jinaeseyo?)

Cute. Extra points for getting rid of Chinese letters from their system.

6. Russian:
Привет, как дела?
(Privet, kak dela?)

Great, but fucking hard ass language.

7. Arabic:
مرحبًا، كيف حالك؟
(Marhaban, kayfa halak?)

Can't comprehend shit.

8. Hindi:
नमस्ते, कैसे हो?
(Namaste, kaise ho?)

I'll be honest. It looks cool.

9. Greek:
Γειά σας, πώς είστε;
(Yia sas, pos iste?)

Chad as fuck. But still looks ugly.

10. Hebrew:
שלום, מה שלומך?
(Shalom, ma shlomcha?)

Looks cool, like YuGiOh n shit.

11. Thai:
สวัสดี, สบายดีไหม?
(Sawasdee, sabai dee mai?)

Crazy, it looks exactly as it sounds. Ding dong ping diong.

12. Vietnamese:
Xin chào, bạn khỏe không?
(Xin chào, bạn khỏe không?)

Their Guerrilla warfare was genius. The language is fucking shit tho.

13. Tamil:
வணக்கம், எப்படி இருக்கீர்கள்?
(Vaṇakkam, eppaṭi irukkīrkaḷ?)

Adding this to UNICODE is a disrespectful.

14. Bengali:
হ্যালো, আপনি কেমন আছেন?
(Hyālō, āpni kēmōn āchēn?)

Cool awesome.

15. Punjabi:
ਹੈਲੋ, ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਹੋ?
(Hello, tusīṁ kivēṁ hō?)

Cool.

16. Turkish:
Merhaba, nasılsınız?

17. Polish:
Cześć, jak się masz?

Sounds like retool. Yikes.

18. Swahili:
Habari, hujambo?

19. Ukrainian:
Привіт, як справи?
(Pryvit, yak spravy?)

Just speak Russian. Fuck this sublanguage.

20. Georgian:
გამარჯობა, როგორ ხარ?
(Gamarjoba, rogor khar?)

Emm.

My chocolate covered bacon is cooling right now:

Neovim plugins look nicer by the minute and yet added value's falling faster than the US's economy

Should someone try to verify what they trust, they will find themselves on the shore of infinite, immesurable void. This void is aggressively anti-memetic: it exists, we know it exists, but it's practically unknowable.

Have you ever tried so much as compile your entire OS and all its programs from scratch? I know it's possible, I know there are people somewhere who do it, but have YOU personally tried that? Did you compile every part with multiple compilers to verify that your compiler isn't compromised? You can talk the talk, but have you walked the walk?

The food you eat every day. Did you make sure that it only contains what the label says it contains? Have you checked it with the lab? Have you then checked the lab itself? Did you check their equipment? The firmware their equipment runs? Purity of test mediums and reagents? The equipment you used to check the purity?

As I type that, I want to smack myself in the face. My brain aggresivelly rejects the idea that it needs to check everything itself. More specifically, the idea that the amount of trust it puts into other people it doesn't even know is INSANE. Here this void is -- known, but unknowable.

Do you remember the shore? It actually was _your_ shore -- you yourself is just an island floating in this void. Other people are islands too. Or bubbles, or, more specifically, entities that live within those bubbles. The bubbles made of beliefs and assumptions that form their hosts' realities.

With natural language, you build bridges to other islands/bubbles. The natural language itself is a thing that you don't really know -- you use it, yet you (and no one else for that matter) can guarantee that other person you talked to understood exactly what you was trying to say.

This black sticky void can consume us all at any moment. Yet, it chooses not to.

This void is god.

Shaved my hair with the intention to make a buzzcut. Shaver dies in the middle of the procedure. Yelp. Chill at home for the next 2 hours looking like a latestage cancer patient. Okay lets go on. Zzzz
One clean strip of mozzarella looking back through the mirror. Forgot to attach the 3 mm thingie after cleaning. Bald it is. Still great decision, dandruff gone in less than a day. Hell yea!!!

I find A.I. to be a nice pair-programmer/buddy to help me out with any questions I may have, where the typical human being doesn't have the time, patience or know-how.

So I often wonder.
if they do one thing that pretty much fucks a person for awhile because they pretend it should, while using my country as some boarded stage under which they hide bodies and shit, and simultaenously also rollback individual progress in other avenues or expect people to endlessly recreate but not share the accumulated information, what is their expectation ? especially when shooting them seems pointless because they just breed ? kind of curious how we got here.. again. I just want to settle down with my fucking money and let all these new retards continue to walk off the cliff like in the game lemmings if left unattended. maybe even to the song.

https://youtu.be/Xi-koI7mvq0/...

I think this level best describes my expectations.

anyway.

I said this before and I'm kind of sick of asking, would someone enlighten a very healthy old man as to why everyone is so fucking stupid and why he is sitting in the same place writing about the same thing to what probably comprises an entirely new group of people or if they even exist at all anymore, a single operator sitting trying to determine if a new query has been posted ?

I mean this is mean.
I wouldn't have shot any of you people at all in my lifetime if you'd leave time alone and stop trying to screw me up in life so little ingrates and awful little shits can realize life isn't what they wished it was and seek to do dumb things like jump off jacobs ladder for example.
i mean its just not worth it.
i would much rather have continuous happiness and/or normal boredom and friendships and the occasonal high class escort in my bed than running around watching soon to be dead idiots pretend I never made any money saying the same things as how many assholes before them and blaming me for things they did.

which i know especially they did.
because they did it all before.

i'm tired of robots am I alone ?
and I'm tired of the same years.

and i'm especially tired of retards saying 'hahahaah look at the AI, he has limited things he can do, why doesn't he just sell his soul/ass/baby/life like we did ? STUPID"

Who wants to build with me the European search engine?

- Rust or Go for high-performance crawling
- LLM (Mistral / Mixtral / Zephyr) for reasoning and answering
- Vector DB (Qdrant / Weaviate) for semantic memory
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) instead of classic indexing
- Postgres / SQLite / S3 for smart buffer storage
- LLM-powered garbage filter (kill SEO sludge)
- Nightly retraining & hot-swappable models
- Minimalist frontend (SvelteKit or Next.js)
- No chatbot behavior. No endless replies. Just answers.

What's this, what's this! It's a head-ache-I-do-fear! What's this! There's de-bug every-where! What's this!

Streamii, you make jokes, but i don't. I deliver: https://molodetz.nl/project/...

A tamagotchi written in C using R especially for you. I'm sure it will work for 20 years. Cherish it.

Our metro system spend as much in salary and infrastructure designed to make sure you pay tickets than the money from the actual ticket sales.

So basically you're paying tickets to have bareers and controllers. And then you pay taxes to run trains.

It's fucking racket.

Technology is so fucked sometimes. Often I wish that we've stopped at the Tamagotchi. It also didn't have audio jack, usb and took ages on it's battery. Communicated more clear that GPT.

Also, with a Tamagotchi you always have at least one friend to talk to.

So I figured out how ostream burnt his dick the other day when vaping naked at his computer:

Management: "Let's make the office fuuuun :D"
Me: "Let's make my life less stressfuuuul"

Sometimes we are ping pong balls being smashed from one side to the other. This is me, I'm currently studying a technology. Oops! Change of assignments! Plz study new tech! Ok thanks for the constant context-switching.

So a question.

I remember a news article recently urging all people to use python and rust and the like because of memory safety.....

somewhere way back whenever this bs was.

so a few times now I had chatgpt generate me a status window script because it was a one use thing just so I could see how far along a near 500 gb download was to finished.

and it repeatedly caused my machine to freeze from an unknown source of memory leakage as it gradually built up a ridiculous amount of overhead at a rate much faster than it should jhave from the few references and bits of scalar data that it was accumulating.

I know its means something else...

but its kind of funny just the same :P
my system crashed from what is supposed to be a managed language right ? exceptions and stack traces etc ?
