Mentions aren't coming up in my notifications. Sorry if I'm missing crap. devRant broke.

Week: 112 (Year 3)

How is the weekend going, lads?

Question: What’s something you think 90% of people are secretly bad at?

last Weekend : https://devrant.com/rants/19376600

Real chads aren't C devs.
Not Assembly ones.
Not R or Haskel, not Matlab.
Not Rust.

ITS FUCKING APL DEVS

Hey guys, should I bake gun/weapon Rendering in my graphics engine or not? If I do so, it will be an engine limited to FPS games...
Anyways if anyone got time please give me feedback about my engine, https://GitHub.com/3dgoose/wipe

My C code is so unsafe even bindgen will suffer
Also screw you sfml

Because Windows doesn't provide glext.h. If anyone knows how to install it.

Generate one trillion datapoints. Interesting. lol. I need 128 GB RAM for that, though...

I told my therapist about my code. Now we both need therapy.

There is always something, innit? Some "data scientist" in waaaaaay over his head complained to my teammate that the piece of code she wrote was faulty in some overly weird edge case that only occurred to him, but was never actually seen in practice. But the jerk complained in a very, very annoying and entitled and pushy way.
He brought my girl almost to tears.
Now, im not exactly the most delicate in my manners, but One. Doesn't. Mess. With. My. Team.
I just sent an email to his manager that from this day forward, every single piece of code anyone on his entire team requests will be tested to the entirety of the possible inputs. They had asked for some delay measurement tool. I've locked my cluster for... nineteen hours now, just computing the complete list of test parameters. 3.1Gb of parquet files with possible input combinations. Or about 1200 USD coming out of their budget *just to _test_ this one fucking function*. And about a week delays for the tests to complete.
And a chip on my shoulder.

P.S. the data science team manager is actually nice and all, and he is also at the end of his patience with his jerk of a teammate. Someone is getting a bloody poor quarterly review.

- joins new company
- here for a month
- finds out entire team is getting laid off
- hr: "can you finish your 30 day survey please"

@ostream please come to snek, need your advise.

Somehow in my engine when I do :

camPos.y += camUp.y * speed * deltaTime;

It goes faster than Trump seeing an underage girl,
and when I add up everything :
camPos.x += camUp.x * speed * deltaTime;
camPos.y += camUp.y * speed * deltaTime;
camPos.z += camUp.z * speed * deltaTime;

It goes as slow as my gf seeing me.
(jk arch users dont have gfs)

Also what keys could I map to go up and down ? WASD/ZQSD usually for right left back...
Space/ctrl?

DirectX users are psychos.

Everyone knows nVidia is a bubble. Even fucking Bloomberg is reporting on the circular flow of money between nVidia/OpenAI/Intel/AMD/Anthropic/CoreWeave/Oracle (remember, Oracle's first customer for its first 3 years was the CIA).

Even the US Government has put money into this scam by propping up 10% of Intel for .. national security or something?

So everyone can see this bubble clearly. Can anything be done about it? How do you keep a bubble from destroying everything when it's in plain sight?

Whoever is able to hold their shorts for nVidia is going to make a shit-ton (*not financial advice)

Does somebody have the words to explain wifu that plastic shit goes in the trash and not in the sink or on the counter.

Like it's basic human decency idk

I just bought some new device that has AA bateries included, already inserted, and obviously, already leaking.
Clowns.

How many of the following list did you commit?

Sid at work: https://reddit.com/r/...

why the fuck is some box from @styled-system/jsx' possibly squishing the height of an image

why the fuck is my color not being applied to the existing <Image , the existing approach could be wrong

how is it that there's new frameworks and libraries coming out all the time ,but front end development hasn't been solved to be retard proof so i can do it

New Job new me.

Looks like it's pure chaos. Randomly turning on aws features until things work. Lots of money down the drain.

Oh well. It's a job.

HDOOM!
Really a good version of Doom, many gameplay improvements.
Thinking of doing my own Doom maps !

I had to explain git merge to a senior level dev. It is 2025

Sigh. There are a number of 'app' makers out there that slap their website into a WebView framework and call it 'our app'. Are you fucking kidding me? If you develop an app, make it at the very least native, not a port. Lazy fuckers.

"Bookkeeping" is the most Dutch looking English word ever!

How can one phrase things in a way that they won't be ignored? As in how to ask questions that will lead to actual answers and a path forward instead of being ignored or dismissed as "not enough"? Too frequently everywhere I work I've experienced the pattern that I'll be close to identifying a problem/solution but my mentions are often dismissed, and then months later when things are really bad someone else, usually a manager or higher ranking engineer, says the same exact thing and it is suddenly this huge revelation. Of course I can share links to previous meetings about the topic where I tried suggesting whatever this is, but it again goes ignored as "contextually invalid" or something similar.
Is this normal? Do I just need to wait until I'm a higher ranking engineer to earn this respect of opinions?

Whenever I feel bad about my engineering skills, I take a look at what people build who work in enterprise or the public sector, and I feel like a fucking 1337 pro.
