What was the logic to b
Not store diffs of large file objects in git as opposed to storing a copy of the whole thing ?

I avoided blogging about /pol for most of the year, until summer hit. I'd rather be writing tech articles, but I'm glad I got this out this week:

No matter where you are in the political spectrum, it will probably make you mad. 😇 But it will hopefully also make you think. 🤔

The most radical position in America today is the one that rejects both political parties.

I came up with a really intuitive way to create a coroutine in Rust by passing the sender of an mpsc queue to a callback, then merging the receiver of the same mpsc with the future returned by that callback, but I must've cocked up somewhere because I'm pretty sure it leaks memory.

MPSC ports don't own each other in either direction, that was my first guess too.

Images broken again 😣

Fuck it! IT is too stressfull. I am going to start my own cider microbrewery!

Boy I sure hope Rust / LLVM's devirtualization pass is as good as its infamy suggests!

know the depths of evil, or be nuts, pretend it doesn't exist, make a fool of yourself to cope with it existing until you will yourself to forget?

Need your brutal, honest feedback on a personal project. for years I've been frustrated by the same thing: my GitHub shows my code, but my resume is a garbage fire of buzzwords that doesn't capture how I think. All the real, hard-won lessons from debugging hell or a failed project just... evaporate.
I got tired of it. So I spent the last 2 months building a solution for myself and for devs like us.
It's called insightdeed. It's not another social network. It's basically a personal, public changelog for your professional brain. A place to dump your insights, post-mortems, and the 'why' behind your work, so you can prove your expertise instead of just listing it."
It's still super early, and this is where I need your help. I'm trying to figure out how to share this with more developers without being a cringy marketing person. Direct ads feel wrong for something like this.
So, my question to you all is: If you saw a tool like this that you may though be useful, how would you want to hear about it? A quiet post on a specific subreddit? A mention in a newsletter? A blog post on Hashnode?
I'm not here to spam. I'm here to test and build something. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Devrant is dying, is it the end of an era?

Canada is so owned by China's climate scam the only jobs for software development in Canada are carbon credits or some green energy nonsense... sigh how is this not a dystopia already. every industry and sector is shrinking but Canada keeps pumping more subsidies into the climate scam so it's the only thing that exists now

maybe we'll economic collapse and I can retire but I wanted to get more money first just in case

What really is Vibecoding? Like where do we draw the line?

My general take is: vibe code is when someone without any knowledge produces code with AI without looking at the code.

But I have done that myself with small things, landing pages, throw away programs.

Can you be a vibe coder in one language and not in another language?

What if I know what the code does, but I'm not fluent on its syntax?

Let's say I write a C program myself, and ask AI to rebuild it in Go, will I be a C Coder, but a Go VibeCoder?

Yall no me i'm no leftie but some gendered stuff are retarded. Like bike for women? What the fuck it's a machine retard why cant i use it just because I have a penis? Discrimination

I keep reducing the number of features to make it easier for me

but it seems that I'm losing unintended to lose functionality now even too -.-

how is it I have less code, on account of removing features, but suddenly I have more bugs?

these STRAITJACKETS

efficient or elegant

choose neither

Can I find serious relationships on casual dating sites?

Curious if anyone’s actually found a committed relationship through a casual dating app. I always thought they were just for flings, but maybe I’m missing something. Thoughts?

Oh no, I've been asked to fix a printer. And I said yes. 🤦

So tomorrow is my last day of my 9 year long commitment to this company.

It was hell of a fun ride! I told myself ~5 years ago that this is the last company I will be working for. And I stand by it. I'm starting [continuing?] my own thing srarting next week.

I wish you all to find an employer [and be employed by] as amazing as I had [technically still have]. There's really nothing else a technitian can ask/wish for :)

So the bastardising build pipeline finally runs. What I would like to do now, is to get GitHub, SQL Server, ChatGPT and CoPilot together in a room, along with the mothers who shat them into the world, and fuck all of them in the mouth with a very large and very unevenly shaped cassava.

Resigned without any offer in hand. I feel a bit relieved that I need to deal with my company's bad culture for next 90 days only, but also feeling panicked due to market situation. Hope it goes all well ❤️‍🩹

You know what we should all create a coop and find work for each other.

DevRant consulting anybody? We can be bigger than McKinsley

Just checked the source code of our backend project with that tight deadline. So far, the backend consists of an in-memory database, 2 records and no API. 🙃

There is also no documentation on how it should look like 🤡

Oh dang, now that the individual components of Orchid are nearly complete, I should probably improve this ratio.

Got an interview for a salaried position. Paid 4000 before taxes (so 2.3k netto).

My rent is 1500. With that money, I can pay my rent, my bills, and eat (if they don't withdraw my debt from it ofc).

Yay

Ok due to budget cuts i was asked to help develop on the iOS app even though i started out as a frontender. I started three months ago, 2/3 days every week. Now the main iOS developer quits. So no more help as from next month.
F(…)!

There is no way ChatGPT is good enough to help me out 100% either.

He is not the first one to leave this company either. He’s nr 5 this month. This is serious guys. Wish me luck!

You know how you can tell you are talking to Claude?

No matter what you say : "You are absolutelly right!"

I used to think code review was about protecting engineers from themselves. It was always my goal to help keep them from making the same mistakes I made coming up.

But you can't, and it's exhausting. Give them the tools, give them resources, and automate as much as you can. Listen when they have questions, and give thoughtful answers and direction.

That's all you can do, and they'll learn through making mistakes the same way you did. The value is actually being a mentor for when hard problems come and they don't have the experience they need yet.

urgghhh

met a dude 3 months ago and hung out. he's socialed me out. guess what, he caught feelings

I totally forgot this used to happen to me. I'm just SO FUCKING INTERESTING apparently

I hate it. he knows I have a boyfriend. now he's being manipulative on top of it pretty sure, to hang out more even though I'm like "wait a moment, how about we hang out less". why are people like this. I totally forgot. are people always like this. you can't blink at the opposite sex. I must just be TOO INTERESTING

how the hell does anyone get married

or maybe moral of the story is avoid anxious people or something and rate everything as a red flag. I don't even know

I thought we were just two programmers trying to do fitness. not that kind of fitness though 😩

📂 Portfolios? Cute.

📊 GitHub? Nice.

⚡ Big O Notation? Essential.

Because CRUD won’t build itself without graphs and trees.

HTTP/3 requires TLS. Wouldn't this make it drastically less economical to run a reverse-proxy? Are 4 unnecessary cryptographic operations per request not significant? What about the bandwidth overhead of rounding up the length of responses like `HTTP 200 OK\r\nContent-Length: 2\r\n\r\n{}` which make up a majority of all traffic to the nearest encrypted block?

If you have more Tinder match than recruiters messages, it is a proof that economy sucks.
