Today, a colleague and I had to travel to a different office 2h away one way to play our mandatory game of table tennis....

It's now 5 minutes past my official working hours and they still haven't pulled out their foldable pingpong table. So respectful

I don't understand CSS and am shit at it, moving forward I plan to treat CSS more like old legacy code I don't want to fuck with and preserving any existing working stuff.

Burned once trying to freehand off an example thinking I knew what I was doing versus preserving what was there.

OK, so, @Demolishun seems gone. Big surprise. He spent a lot of time here like I do. He did not insinuate any signs of being done or unhappy. Adding the fact that he was a stable happy daddy with the daddest jokes often showing how well he knows the people here makes it so weird and unexpected.

Also weird, @Demolishun's deletion got captured in a hour or so (yesterday it was noticed already, but I was like, maybe he comes back) and still nobody noticed that @electrineer is gone for a few months now or so. Meh, he hated me anyway.

Don't people know that devrant is hosted on an airfield? You have to check in and check out.

Guys I'm launching a retired dev camps. Let's just pool a few thousand each, buy a piece of land and a couple of tipi in spain near the surf spot, grow weed and do contract jobs and finally enjoy life.

A react package has a transient dependency on another library (date-fns), well that transient library is used throughout the code base. Now I need a slightly newer version of date-fns. Everything runs fine, create PR, build fails. Have a look, react package doesn't import date-fns properly, ok well lets update it, spent the morning updating a shitty date picker component, that is wrapped in a shitty wrapper that doesn't keep the generic/union exclude info so now it has type issues. Finally fix that, everything looks fine.

Runs build:
 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 3221225501.

Why is it always with react that these issues exist

Just had a thought: Instead of LLVM modeling and optimizing an IR and then backends having to optimize again for actual machine code lowering, wouldn't it be possible to unite both under one unified system?

If you model everything as one huge and complex state machine with a bunch of predefined "micro ops", couldn't you write an optimizer which lowers to the mathmatical presentation of the target platform's instructions?

I.e. the actual identities of the instructions don't matter. What matters is that the input ir is `(x + 3) & 0xff` and the optimizer tries to fit a sequence of instructions to that so that it "solves the system". It doesn't know x86 `andb`; it knows that `andb` takes an input, maybe truncates it, does a bitwise or, and stores the output into a reg

That way you wouldn't have to write complex target dependent backends. Just declare the sequence of actiosn each instruction does and llvm would automatically be able to produce very high quality machine code

I think there's a phd worth of research here but helllll no I'm not touching compilers again lol

Validating an input field while it's still focused is like a teacher repeatedly interjecting "this is no complete sentence" before the students have finished their sentence.

I am leaving my hateful past behind and decided to love germany from now on.

My best friend in montreal was a gay bavarian guy. He was a chemist and the brewmaster of his village so he brewed me beer in the bathtub.

@Lensflare @tosensei you are my brothers and I love you.

If I publish this I'll have to credit chatgpt.

If jews get to have their own state because nazi germany genocided them, then so are communists and gipsies. And gays.

We could call it queerland or something

Some of you are aware what emails I send to companies to bash them very accurate to the bone and even emphasize them how dissapointed I am. I make it very personal. You fuckers wasted my time.

But, when someone does it well, I also say it. I've sent my second love email to codeium and they responded. But this time, it was AI and it was noted under the message that it was made with AI. OpenAI doesn't do that. So again, my respect raised for them.

I only use their auto complete feature while they offer a complete ide and stuff. But auto complete so well based on my own way of coding is just made in heaven. Codeium really affected my life in positive way. I mean, I really like to everything myself but not using their autocomplete would be even stupid imho.

I also really like that I'm in the top 0.01% users while using the free version 😂 But I'm just only interested in that 😂vibe coding is just not a thing at all yet, not in the neighborhood. Only if you have no vision regarding code style tbh. Won't not even call theirs bad, but it's just not mine.

ChatGPTs UI is so bad it probably was implemented with ChatGPT...

I've had to create a very simple frontend feature connected to an API. That part works flawlessly but we have rewritten a bunch of code in the system for a certain hardware device.

Now the person that was working on the backend just said today he has no device to test it on lab environment. Neither does any colleague apparently

And guess who got a meeting with the CEO, COO, sales people and the project manager for a demo of that said feature :D

My sister bought an Acer A315-44P laptop in which the keyboard and the top cover are one unit and everything else is built onto that part, meaning that replacing the keyboard involves disassembling the entire laptop, the keyboard is among the most expensive replacement parts, and it's unique to the model. This is already infuriating and it's hard to attribute it to gross incompetence rather than deliberate malice motivated by unchecked greed, but what makes it completely indefensible is that their European parts distributors don't stock this part for most models so third party repair shops can't easily obtain one.

But to seal the whole ridiculous charade, THE FIRST-PARTY REPAIR SHOP DOESN'T PICK UP THE FUCKING PHONE. I've already capitulated, just accept my fucking money! What, do they really expect that if I have to go out and buy another laptop because they made it hard to fix, they won't fix it, and won't let me fix it, that I'll ever buy Acer again? What is the strategy here? Do they think they're Apple, so people take this bullshit? But even Apple has a repair service! I don't understand this business model at all.

Am i the only one who fucking loves it when YouTubers find old “call toll free” numbers or old numbers for various sweepstakes/contests, games, help hotlines whatever and actually call them? Especially when they still work….

I don't know why, but the backrooms sound, e.g. the generic transformer hum, is so soothing to me. Call me crazy, but oh how I want my room, and maybe my entire apartment, to resemble a 2000's office. Think cs_office map, but for real!

I know it's probably because of my childhood, but I constantly feel like I'm being watched. Not just watched, but at any time a vague authority figure will rush into my room and make me do things because I'm long overdue on everything for some reason.

This notion somehow completely falls apart when I'm inside some office, the closer to 2000's in aesthetics, the better. I don't feel comfortable in luxurious interiors, or in Hygge-inducing Scandinavian interiors, or at "home" (I have no feeling of home). But 2000's office is my anxiety's kryptonite.

My dream is to have a cubicle at home. And that the door to my room should have that thing that automatically closes it. And the lock made by Abloy. Old office-style carpeted floor. Vertical metal shades. And let this paradise drown in soothing 60 cycle hum.

I hate that ChatGPT pops up suggestions when one starts typing in the first prompt of a new chat. I really, really fucking hate it. I hate it so much I stopped renewing my Plus subscription months ago and won't renew it until they add a feature to disable this annoying feature. Until they introduced the auto-suggestions in new chats, ChatGPT had an edge over Copilot which has always been ADHD by default like everything else from M$. But now, idk. I guess I will just have to create my own distraction-free UX.

Worst part of looking for a job is that I don't actually want one

Systemd has telemetry now!

Pro tip: make your tool’s error messages very long, so feeding them into ChatGPT is not financially viable. Then, sell support for your tool.

According to gates elon is killing all the poorest children.

And if they all die who is he supposed to rape? :3

It sucks that peripheral manufacturers don't fully support Linux. I've given Linux Mint an honest and fair try and I like it for being distraction-free and unbloated as opposed to Windows. However, there are too many things that don't work in Linux, such as connecting an external VGA screen through an HDMI adaptor, or to configure a Logitech mouse. It's a deal breaker.

My frustration for the day. And now onto fun stuff.

nee rule in office: if you are taking leave on a wfo day, you must come to work on wfh day in the same week. even if your whole team is working remotely.

wtf!?
I am being punished to take an emergency leave because i was in a er room taking breaths off an Oxygen cylinder?

what is the point of this rule? just day Directly that its 5 days a week. why even give a fake illusion of 3 days office

if i try to reject this rule, i need to take double leaves... leave on wfo as well on wfh day

i am tired of being in such an exploiting company. If only my country wasn't in the middle of war and I wasn't getting any worse in terms of health, i would have quit even without a job offer in hand

Wow there's a new gong fu tea place. 7 euros for the gong fu yellow tea, that's so cheap (like you can drink your tea for an hour, in theory there's like 7 cups).

Tea makes me happy.

My company is making is sit through what can better be described as "The Dundees".
Those useless, time wasting, self aggrandizing "award cerimonies" that companies use to... dunno, I think to stroke management's ego.
I guess it's part of their compensation package, right there with making the hottest employees wear revealing clothing in order to be "engaged" in "informal team building exercises".
Frankly, I'm glad my sixteen-years-after-my-navy-days ass doesn't qualify.

Fuuuck, why can't they just give themselves bonuses for being "such engaging person-bosses" and let the rest of us just work? Corruption used to be a quick and easy affair. Now it requires soooo much fanfare.

working to overcome decades of cultural and educational training (public schools and college lmao) of being an unquestioning slave who does what they're told

to actually think critically with a product mindset and question is missing from a specification

does anybody have tips

> TeamLeader2: Ok we need this series of parallelized background processes. Each process must gain exclusive access to certain resources. How do we do that
> IHateForALiving: Redlock
> TeamLeader2: Enough Redlock! You propose Redlock every time! It's a wrong solution! Ask ChatGPT!
> Literally the FIRST ChatGPT suggestion: APPLICATION-LEVEL LOCKING (USING REDIS, ETC.)

Company made it known a few weeks earlier they are not longer profitable...

Solution? Organize a table tennis tournament between colleagues. Mandatory participation.

Bunch of clowns

At this point I think we can reject the theory that image upload somehow fixes itself.
