AlgoRythm said Open letter to any website that is trying to implement "smooth scrolling" on their website using JavaScript: stop, consider how awful it is 100% of the time, and kill yourself please.,I’m making a cut-down version of scratch for a personal project and I just fucking had to write a linker for it.

I fucking… it’s… a flowchart language… and to avoid a hash-table lookup of function identifier to underlying logic.. I wrote a linker.

It’s like, maybe 10 total lines. So not a real linker. But still. Just a bit crazy.,LinkedIn: You have one notification!!!!

Me: What is it?

LinkedIn: 10 types of horses that make your more employable if you don't fuck them

Me: What

LinkedIn: 10 types of h-

Me: No, I heard you, why did you send me a notification about this?

LinkedIn: You want a job, don't you?

Me: Yes, but don't send me this type of notification again.

LinkedIn: Updated your preferences!

The nefarious LinkedIn, two days later: You have one new notification!!!!!!,*Applies to 60+ jobs*

All I get is more spam in my email inbox.

The job market is FUCKED right now,tmux, Neovim, and Alacritty (term emu) with VT323 font... on Windows via WSL. When you can't decide between OS's, just choose both!,I've only been using it for one day, but the most striking thing about going from VSCode to Neovim is the performance incrase.

VSCode has some noticeable input lag, but Neovim, even running in wsl2 (AN ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM VIRTUALIZED) has none.

That's sort of insane. An ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM is less heavy than a single instance of a bloated Electron app.

The absolute state of desktop development in 2024. Yes, VSCode is a fuckin amazing editor. But I can't help but think it's built like resources and performance were never truly a concern beyond "good enough".,Snapchat is now showing ads mixed in with, and at the top of the list of, your contacts. That’s in addition to the un-removable “Team Snapchat” contact, and a ChatGPT-2 model “My AI” that is permanently fixed to the top of your contacts list and once told me that some completely random politician, who was not even in the race at any point, won the 2024 general election.

Snapchat, I realize your business model was never designed to be profitable but FUCK you for dying in such an annoying way.,GitHub releasing the worlds most awful report trying with all their might to make copilot look good.

- percentages did not add up to 100 (one was under, one was over)
- errors not defined as functional errors, but “any code that reduced the ability for the code to be easily understood” (what in the subjective bullfuck is that?)
- apparently 200 participants but 25 represented 40% of the population????

LLMs are already decreasing the average GitHub employee IQ to functionally retarded levels :(,Joined leetcode to get better at algorithms.

Fuck leetcode.

Instead of giving you enough starter code to copy and paste into your IDE and get going, they give you a function you need to implement and test cases written in plain English.

AND THEN they sell autocomplete and debugging as a premium feature.

FUCK you guys. Give me something I can import into my own tools instead of deliberately tying me down to your shitty pay to win environment.

How am I supposed to understand my deliberately complex code without a fucking debugger?!?!?,We literally gave ChatGPT their next idea by making fun of them.

They probably saw the posts on the internet where a real person would have a lengthy back and forth conversation with 4o about how many R's are in strawberry and were like "wait, what if we could make the chat bot do that with itself before it answers"

10 quadrillion GPU cycles and $100 in electricity later, we have a "new" GPT model!

Oh and considering their new $200 per month paid plan, it seems like I might not be far off concerning the price to run this parlor trick of a chatbot.,Guys what the hell.

I clicked “update and shut down” and it honestly did it. It didn’t restart and leave my laptop running. It actually really for real genuinely earnestly updated and SHUT DOWN. Microsoft finally figured it out? They finally did it?????,More of a rant in meme form than a meme. OC.,Merry Christmas! Finally got my 60% keyboard, so it's time to get back to practicing nvim. Already getting better at using hjkl since I don't have any arrow keys.

Only thing that's a bit of a bummer is the ~ key is Shift + Fn + Esc. Oh well, I only use that one maybe a few times a day anyways especially since the only Linux I use is WSL.,Does anyone here own a Canon 90D? I'm in the later stages of trying to upgrade from my T6 and I've picked the 90D due to the resolution it shoots at and it's price point plus compatibility with my current lens collection. Anything I should know?```
