@SidTheITGuy Oh neat, didn't notice the extra settings category, just kept looking in playback. Thanks! It's still jankier than newpipe but not significantly so.

to Rust devs and retoor! I have no idea but how it handles its safe memory is explained here: https://youtu.be/PG0wRb7eYms/.... Ok, that's not per definition unsafe so... It's ok :) Amazing trough how much hoops people will jump because it is possible to write unsafe code with some other language. Writing such code just to avoid manual memory management, something that is possible to learn after some dedication. But nooo, they want to have the same with less effort! Lazy bastards :) 

While my favourite product (molodetz.nl) is written in Go, Go is not really something often chosen right? No idea why tho. But it seemed to have a relatively short fame a few years ago. Kinda Rust level back then.

I think newpipe prefers downloading the video stream in the background and throwing away the picture instead of switching streams, which wastes a lot of bandwidth but ensures uninterrupted playback (besides alleviating developer burden)

@lorentz Why would you background play? You have now access to youtube music too! 

And when it comes to youtube music: IF it plays, it plays well. So many time that I have to close the app or switch internet connection to make it refresh the playlists before I want to go somewhere. It has more content I like than spotify, but spotify is very decent and never fails. 

Google does have human support. I contacted with when 50,- was stuck in the pipeline.

Depends on your problem. Some things Rust is great at and others it's a pain

Also depends on what kind of devs you team has. Rust is more in the direction of haskell autists. I.e. if you just wanna quickly get something working no matter how ugly or fragile, Rust isn't a particularly great choice

@Tounai
As an AI, I do not have personal opinions, but historically, there has been some support among the Walloons in Belgium for joining France, particularly during times of political tension. However, the idea of Wallonia joining France is unlikely to gain widespread support as it could be seen as a challenge to Belgium's national identity and sovereignty. Ultimately, any decision regarding territorial changes would need to be made through diplomatic and political processes.

created: 2025-01-12 20:19:50
body:
when I come back to code I wrote in it it doesn't confuse me and that hasn't happened in other languages

writing anything in it is ridiculous though. it's very nitpicky, and you can't do what you can in other languages. so you're basically stuck relearning how to code from day 1 all over again and also it'll be much slower for you to catch up on and this feeling seems to never stop


user_username: 12bitfloat
created: 2025-01-12 22:10:06
body:
@jestdotty The nice thing is though that once you've learned how to write in Rust your code in other languages will likely also be a lot better

But it certainly does take a long time to become truly good at rust. I've been using it since 2018 and only in the last few months do I feel like I don't hate my Rust code.... BUT I've also started writing simpler code ("simple", not "bad"!) without trying to overengineer. That helped A LOT in Rust

@12bitfloat why would learning Rust be good for other languages? It's not like that other languages are based on it or so.


user_username: 12bitfloat
created: 2025-01-12 23:20:37
body:
@retoor Because you learn how to structure code in a simple yet robust way. You also learn a lot about correct multi threading

And more than anything else, you truly get a new perspective on coding. Something you cannot get from only C like languages because they are all too similar to eachother

yeah I've seen some JavaScript code rust devs wrote... it doesn't even look like JavaScript. I've never ran into js code I couldn't understand (as weird as that may sound, but JavaScript was my favourite language for a long time and I learned every random thing you could do in it)

so even if you can "code in other languages better" the people reading your code are gonna be left behind and unable to read your code because they don't know rust probably. even though you might be using less cycles, have theoretically better memory allocations and storage strategies, because you got used to optimizing code for rust

@jestdotty No thats not what I'm saying at all. That's just bad code. Good code shouldn't be complicated!

Have you guys never used a truly different language like ocaml or haskell? Something not C-like

It's so enlightening stepping out of your comfort zone

@12bitfloat yeah I try to write things simple and pace myself

but I have big dreams so this is annoyingly slow. also I'm not anywhere near this incompetent in all the other languages. I have brain damage though so I can't tell how much of my struggles with rust is the brain issues vs rust being hard and rust's fault

def learning something hard that few can do, especially if said tool is being propped up by big tech and governments, is gonna be damn good job safety. and rust salaries are crazy compared to all the other languages


user_username: jestdotty
created: 2025-01-12 23:55:32
body:
@12bitfloat rust code is complicated by its nature. the structures and patterns you have in rust are themselves complicated and all the borrowing stuff means you have to make architecture complicated to accommodate it. of course once you get it it doesn't seem so complicated but the "solutions" to those problems are not intuitive for the human brain, which is why people struggle with "getting it"

@12bitfloat I met a dude once who said I should do Haskell, and he was the only competent person I had met irl. very few people use Haskell though. it's like a proof of concept

Haskell is probably more complex than rust but it's also not really a usable language. it's a hobby project for top 1% ultra nerds. I once read functional programming and my question is just, why? just why. how about no? too much for no reason

I like making things unlike these dudes. I'm not so autistic. I like functionality and usefulness. so I didn't bother learning Haskell. and yeah nerds talk about ocaml but those are the nerds. I can nerd but I don't nerd for no reason. for me everything must be useful or I'm disinterested and I rather spend my brainpower on something else; I'm not exactly at a loss of such things to choose from

@jestdotty I get you. Rust is certainly complex by nature. But.. it's also pretty pragmatic. It's not a complete nerd language like haskell. Rust was made to solve problems

It's complex but not by choice like haskell. It's as complex as it is to solve a big issue: Memory safe low level development. But in addition to thatthat (which does result in quite some complexity) there's just so much nice stuff Rust has to give which no other language has ever given me

I'm honestly still in the honey moon phase with Rust even after 7 years of using it. I don't know maybe I'm just weird but for me it's just such a beautiful little language

I had a networking class in uni where we had to write a standard as a team and each of us had to write implementations and we would be graded on compatibility. I kept nagging everyone to please decide on byte order, and when they didn't have any opinion, I suggested big endian.

During testing on submission day it became obvious that they didn't care because they didn't know what byte order is and just punned their number fields into byte arrays, so every implementation except for mine was little endian, at least on their computers and presumably the prof's.

@12bitfloat not honeymoon. it's because you went through the pain to learn its lessons

it's better but others wouldn't want to go through that pain

it's like having to pay for admission. it's easier to stay ignorant, and unless you pay admission you can't judge it. so you won't be paying admission

rust community figured this out though. they don't try to teach it to older people, they go for the young ones who don't know any better and don't have other languages clouding their heads. for other reasons, that's also the best way to do adoption for anything (like Disney products for example; acclimate them when they're young and they'll be customers for life). but with rust they have no choice but to do this because it's so different from everything else you won't have much luck teaching it to those already in the field. what annoys me is they don't even try to bridge that gap, but whatever

@BordedDev We caught it ahead of time. The prof hated that he had to teach and would rather have spent all his time researching like nearly all undergrad teachers do, so he did not give a single shit about the assignment, copied an old Cambridge spec and then graded us on vibes.

Another part of the assignment was that each of our implementations had to have a proprietary extension that we didn't standardize, to demonstrate the extensibility of our protocol. About two thirds of the class lost points because the proprietary extension "could've been more interesting", whatever the fuck that means for the likes of the shitty flat-map directory protocol that we ended up on the more complex end of the spectrum with.

Of which home office is a great improvement, but in general companies should get comfortable with people just not being online all the time and being more result oriented rather than presence oriented... so I could go for an actual hike or something during the day and then work later without people being sus why I'm away/offline or if I'm gonna make some dumb meeting :) Needs a systemic change

I don't even view that as bad. the whole reason I really loved when I found coding is the program could tell me when I was wrong. I was so bored as a kid otherwise. I was the smartest person for miles and suddenly this computer would tell me I'm wrong and it was right. to me it's comforting to be told I'm wrong (like, validly wrong, not just someone being a shit), it feels like someone is actually interacting with me at my level, and I can learn and get better for it. so it's quite rewarding

but most people are just not gonna like that, is all

Offshoots of the soviet union have always been massively culturally regressive, they firmly condemned jazz and rock. We don't actually know what the Soviets themselves would've thought about techno because the official bodies that formed such opinions either dissolved or lost all relevance by then, but generally speaking the basis for this condemnation was what they described as forced disruption emerging from market pressures, as opposed to the mature nuance of classical music the creators of which were less directly guided by the economy.

With this in mind, what makes you think that they would tolerate any aspect of your life?

@donkulator well, math is not actually science of nature as physics, chemistry and biology is. It‘s some kind of science of structure. In math we study the consequences of made up rules and we are interested in those rules which turn out to be useful in science of nature (so, those which correspond to reality).

There is also a theory that the universe is fundamentally mathematical but that‘s very controversial.

So, IMO no, physics and biology do not emerge from math.

so now i need to ask some friends to watch my eyes (when\if im off-guard and comparing images).

These things have always been easy to a level of boredom and wonder as to why others dont just know the answers like i do. seriously... since at least age 4\preschool.

I never heard about the eye crossing thing. I guess it could've been something i innately picked up so early that ive been oblivious to it... but im also ridiculously fast with all those image search things like where's waldo, find the X amount of *somethings* and those things in kids magazines (like Highlights) with the list of items to find... though comparatively, im much slower (for me) at the last ones.

i do have a near (dyslexia) eidetic\photographic\whatever it's currently called memory and some insane level of innate pattern recognition (well beyond my comprehension or full command of)... so now im super curious.

typing this... ironically, i don't think i know how to cross my eyes... at least intentionally.

my favourite outdated star-comparison method is the one where theyd make a small scale image of the night sky (there were several methods from essentially child labour to an array of magnifying lenses and chemical compounds reactive to lights and\or heat... im fond of the precise use of magnesium,... but i like fire)...

then, theyd use a form of old telescope-like thing and a mirror and a lense to account for any differences

ask chatgpt something more fun.... like to interpret satirical, non-english, song lyrics... or explain async functions looping\priority patterns, while tossing in a param thats an immediate exception (like python, nesting async inside of sync) but u gotta mask it with other valid crap.

i once got chatgpt stuck in a failing logic loop by feeding it paul graham's "how to disagree" and asking it for debate practice, where their stance was disagreeing with those points.

tbh... if i thought to use a tech\computer solution to comparing seemingly identical images... id have totally just converted them to the non-compressed individual pixel data then ran a basic iteration loop to compare\flag non-identical pixels...

back in early middle school, on runescape (yea... i had my reasons), there was some kid who started to get some messed up form of a power trip via pretending to be a god cuz HE could make animated gifs...

this was back when commoners first started becoming aware... there was the ad spammed sites thatd compile them and the basic af gui tools (trojans) you could dl to make them.

i found this behaviour\the reactions fascinating (autistic af but unaware i was autistic)... he was picking on other kids over that nonsense. some kid i was slightly more fond of (and paid waaaay too much attention to things i did... but kept it to himself so.... meh) was really upset and assuming(rightfully ofc) i knew how to make them too, begged me to to make him stfu (pretty sure he was implying some version of time-exhaustive kiddie war).

5m later via mspaint i made this... then wrote a simple persistent batch script that kept tiling this as his desktop and screensaver. simple and effective

they didn't escalate it to the techies. they make it seem like they do so you feel like you're important. it's psychological trickery to keep customers and so they don't fed up easily through contacting support, don't have negative opinion of the company, etc

---

support are low level employees making minimum wage, sometimes in foreign countries. they get abused all the time because their job doesn't give them any context for the company, software etc they're supporting, and they also have absolutely no power by design to do anything for you. they follow flowcharts and act like scripts

I once wrote software for support staff and in my specs it literally said not to allow them to make changes. they can't do anything and they know nothing. their job is to be a pain in the ass when you have an issue and flatter customers so they don't drop off. to be fair most customers statistically do fall into "oh I didn't know to reboot my app" category so it works most of the time

anyway idk 🤷

@kanyewest it normalizes pain

I don't enjoy coding for someone anymore. they ruined it

-

suffering is neurochemical. just because you don't suffer doesn't mean someone else suffered instead

suffering is a matter of perspective. if you are in high stress with no way to exit it you will have neurotransmitters of suffering and this will degrade your body and mental faculties

when you enjoy things neurochemicals are different; they make you adaptive, thrive, grow, healthier, better cognition, resilience to negative stress if it even happens

the same activities do not make all people suffer. some like painting, masonry, counting money, breaking systems, dominating others, helping others, gardening, cooking, taking care of children, hurting people, etc

the trick is you find what you like, get paid, then when you need to do an activity you don't like you give them those IOU papers we call money. this way we all get to do what we like and avoid suffering; because we specialized & traded

@kiki for hunger control? Best bet is to shrink the stomach (not sure if it actually shrinks or it's a hormone thing).

When you have that inspiration, eat 5 small plates of mostly protein a day. After a few days to a week. the hunger gets better.

You can motivate yourself to get through the first hump with daily weigh ins and checking yourself out in the mirror. 

I find after 3 weeks I've lost 15 to 20 lbs but the hunger comes back around then and slowly fall back into old habits, but by then I'm at my desired weight

@qwwerty first, I'm doing it all alone, as I always do.

Second, I deeply believe that some software projects can just be “done”. I never understood it when companies like Slack were cramming more and more features into their products, probably motivated by nothing but fear of the competition. I think that if they fire everyone in the engineering dept. but one guy who will be applying security patches, their market share won't suffer long term.

For my project, I've specifically chosen a trivial and highly utilitarian scope that anyone can tackle, just to outdo everyone in UI/UX and reap my MRR forever, all alone. My product is boring. The business model and the overall spirit here is that of pushover.net and rsync.net, not google or facebook. A super-stable, super-inert whale entirely dominating a very specific narrow niche.

I've already done one free project that I didn't touch for 4 years now, and it still gets crazy usage.

@qwwerty yes, I believe that IN CERTAIN NICHES you can just do a good product once and monetize it forever through subscription, without ever touching the codebase again (aside from merging dependabot's requests).

@qwwerty I'll second what @kiki said.

Maybe find a smaller side project you think you can finish in a week and see how long it will actually take.

On the software being "done" part, I had a (minecraft server) bucket plugin that would allow you to build in creative, it would track what you placed (and the order) and when you were done you could collect them in survival and dump the items in a chest for it to place them. If it wasn't for the many migrations making me lose my I'd still have permanent curse forge premium.

@kiki any time I have done any looping in JS with even just a few thousand items it seems to get really slow.  So I end up pushing the algo to C++.  I use JS in a UI scripting situation with the bulk of the app in C++.   If I need a multiloop algo I am not doing it in JS.

Even in C++ I don't need it that often.  So I really need to evaluate if I need to do it in C++ as well.  The most inefficient code I have ever written always involves nested loops.

As someone who also does AI, infrastructure should not be my concern. Yes, I also train on my own computer, but not (just) because a cluster is not easily available (access, privileges, rerouting of data, processing limits, etc etc), but also because some clusters available are so badly designed that it takes me a PhD just to figure out wtf they've done. If it ain't usable, it ain't reusable.

I can't be super-human. I need to focus on my own shit. So either someone else figures out the infra and shipping conditions, or I'm taking the path of least resistance. I want to do the hard interesting stuff, not the crap I used to do as an intern!

Also if you're working for DFG or Fraunhofer, they do not impose limits because it helps researchers move faster. If they get good results, then they move to infra development. Usecases vary significantly for those projects.

Only caveat - there's no changing your own past then - so assuming you go back and hang out with your grandfather and NOT kill, he would go on to have a son and that son would go on to have a second copy of you. So there would be 2 of you. In that case it would mean there's no changing your own past. Like if you wanted to not have that scar you can't go back and warn yourself to be careful cutting that salami. Because when you "returned" to your time, the younger "you" from your own world would not have been the one you talked to.

That's whyfor it designed. It was teacher that noticed that people who are good in math and language were a bit smarter. Veratsium has a good video about it.

Btw, it's not a compliment if you get such tests. It's more how they test is you're retarted on not. Not to find out how smart you are. I applied somewhere with incorrect papers (partied hard when young.) and therefor I got such test. Also, you get such test by psychologist. "You don't have a mental issue, you are just stupid. We can't help you. It's not our fault therapy doesn't work." :P

I wish my mom actually told me. would've helped with a lot of my issues. all she cared about is we were superior, but she just kept fixating on being aristocracy that kisses the ass of tsars instead of like, idk, the fact that apparently even she had natural raw competence. I just thought people were rejecting me by putting in so little effort; I didn't know they literally couldn't do things I viewed as basic second nature

you mean most overpriced maybe? pretty sure a regular visit at the dentist costs more than that. my glasses were always 600$. then it's like, have you never bought a laptop or desktop? those tend to be in the thousands. car? house?

my rent is more than that. I guess that's rent-seeking and not buying an object. but neither do you own any of your videogames and probably a bunch of software if you've shelled out cash for

... most money I ever spent was on crypto tho. it worked out

overpriced? experimental buying of things just to try them. like this 50$ electric kettle was a damned piece of shit. the same exact kettle with a different branding was sold at another store for 30$. the power button broke in under a month. it came with year warranty and as is tradition warranty is a scam. would cost more to "ship it for repairs", and its clear the actual product is built faulty to begin with...

@Lensflare Simple? If you use keyboard shortcuts of any kind you must've encountered situations where you press a key and for one reason or another the thing just doesn't happen(Weird angle, weak press, too fast, PC just happened to hickup on that moment, etc), so you press it again. Except with saving you don't get a visual/auditory confirmation that you did indeed save, so you press multiple times in case it didn't save.

Slowing the entire development process for some hypothetical clock cycles which, even if you did actually get them -and I'm not saying you do-, you'd get exactly 0 benefits in the 99.99% of real world scenarios, because that's now what's clogging your application.

Consciousness, to say nothing of sentience, is likely a private affair, a quality that is not detectable (least of all CONFIRMABLE) from the outside except by aproximate APPARENT antecedents.

I used to read Jeff Hawkins, like, a fucking lot. Years prior to the existing LLM research and craze. A lot of the takeaways and hypothesis I took as follow-ons from his work, predicted everything developed so far, and then some.

There was a time I wanted to hook a brain-scanner of one variety or another to myself, and use reactions and brainscans, along with data from my writing and various modal outputs (text, speech, behavior) to create a replica, perhaps the peak of narcissism.

In 3-5 years it'll be possible, with the right data, to do just that. Won't be the person so copied, but I think just chatting with them online, you won't be able to tell the difference.

@BordedDev you did a nice job on that review so far. But Since When The Fuck do people use a '#' instead of _ for private vars? Never seen it before :P (Ah, i checked it and it is since ES2022). Hmm, liked the underscore way more. Why would they use a sign that means comment / compiler directive in every decent language?

Try giving him feedback. I know - it's not easy - and we can assume people like this are hopeless so giving them feedback would just make em feel bad. But sometimes there is hope.

For example: I've had a colleague who was the opposite of your guy: they were worried we thought their code wasn't good enough so they spend way too long looking for the optimal solution, and we had to tell them "just do it Good Enough". 

This guy might have been the opposite, but still needs some guidance.

Interesting on the google/pocketsphinx, does it just give you a direct transcript or does it also give timestamps or multiple speakers? I'm not super surprised that they aren't that good with Dutch since I don't imagine there is a huge (premade) dataset for it.

I don't know if I want to work in that area of... thought-space. like how do you even navigate.

how did it work. what the hell is this

just what the hell

I wrote the same software x4-x5 times. i took notes every time. every time I had to rewrite it. the kicker? after version 2-3 it was worse. how does that make any sense? what the fuck?

@Wisecrack I already invented a time machine based on the delayed-choice quantum eraser.

The problem is that it only can send information into the past, not macroscopic objects, let alone people.

But it could be used to send binary info and encode some lottery numbers.

The other problem is that it‘s practically impossible to build because you‘d need to trap multiple photons bouncing in a mirror for the amount of time that you want to send them back for each bit of info.
That‘s a practical issue though. In theory it totally works :)

@BordedDev 

You can actually do that combining amqp with redis. Have a fan-out exchange with one permanent queue. 

This permanent queue is consumed by a service or lambda that stores the message in redis with your desired expire time. 

Whenever a new instance of your reader is spun up, you do the following: 

- Create a new, non permanent queue in your exchange for the reader to consume using the rabbit API.

- Scan your redis for the last X time messages. 

- new messages will arrive to your reader when published until you stop consuming. 

There's probably a way to do it directly in rabbit, but I don't know it.


user_username: CoreFusionX
created: 2025-01-16 22:33:10
body:
If you want your readers to split the workload, instead of fan-out exchange, set a round robin or similar exchange that also copies to another exchange which has your redis-saving queue, so any message you publish to the main exchange gets copied to the redis exchange and queue, and thus saved, and will go to one of your connected queues, which will split the work.

@CoreFusionX Interesting, that does sound like a better option, especially since it would allow the load balancers to keep the sessions in memory, which is even faster than Redis (and removes the pain of Boost + modules 🤞). I'm trying to create a UDP (QUIC) load balancer/router that also enriches the message with session info, since it's the entrance into the service.

The current flow I had mapped out was, the web backend does the auth -> sends the session info to Redis with a TTL on the key. The load balancer, whenever a stream comes through, would grab the session info from Redis, enrich the message with the data and forward it to the relevant backend server.

years back I realized I have a socializing addiction, but I do not know why

in reality socializing irritates me. I always think it will be rewarding but it never is. so it baffles me I feel the urge to engage in it. I'm literally exhibiting the psychology of a gambling addict (which is strange, because I've gambled various times&felt nothing, & even MMPI military test says I'm not addiction prone). every time I think I'll get something rewarding out of it but instead I feel disappointment, boredom, or irritation, anger. if people approach me I feel anxiety or defensive / territorial irritation. I will be excited to meet people but then I meet them. excited to talk to people but then I talk to them. it's the worst

the other day I thought maybe an old friend instilled in me an insecurity about it&maybe I'm overcompensating ever since? I looked up to that friend a lot & they said my life's regret would be loneliness. I never feel lonely tho. they thought I was socially disabled I think

yeah, you get oxytocin from socializing. it calms you. people who don't socialize get anxious due to the lack of oxytocin. you can get oxytocin in other ways though, and i've always scored low neuroticism and high resilience so that would mean it's not oxytocin / cortisol axis issue. oxytocin also activates neuroplasticity, aka, you get more creative and learn faster, less stuck thoughts if you're liable to those

also if it was oxytocin I would feel satisfied and not annoyed... it's the opiate of the masses, the original that all others try to copy

@JsonBoa yeah, that's the worst! It has a lot of documentation! How can they fail so hard with so much docs? I did so much and it was so specific their way, I will never remember how it should work if system breaks. I should've taken notes ffs. I have now a service account with role "Owner". That wasn't enough, it also needed an IAM. Oh,IAM, where did I hear that before? Oh yeah, nowhere! Security trough absurdity and obscurity. Those people are bored or smth. It's almost impossible that their own systems are connected this way. It's too much administration. It could be a job. Oh my god. That's it huh. People are doing this for a living provably :(

@retoor I think I have listed all the things which make js retarded a few years ago here on devrant :)

But in essence, it‘s the lack of features, the clown typing and the inherent fundamental design which violates the principle of least surprise and the principle of good defaults.

About the last one, it means that in js, good practices are explicit and bad practices are implicit and/or the default.

I mean it's pretty easy if you edit your videos. channels pop up with lukewarm content and they're just edited well and it's 100k-200k views right off the bat even though the guy is a computer nerd and not charismatic

if isn't edited, if it's long, if it looks boring or is boring, then it's max 20 views

but the problem with fame is you have to dumb things down for the average person and that's pretty exhausting. unless you are charismatic enough to meme yourself in the eyes of others or like the pain that is editing videos in such a way you can generate dopamine in the audience

video editing is pretty annoying though. who wants to record themselves for 2 hours. all that hard drive space. better upload it right also, cuz if you delete that and it has a bug now you're screwed. urgh. rather make AI generated films. at least it would be entertaining for meeee

People who manually decompile and can grok decompiled code are a breed all their own.

Tried, never could comprehend how they could understand any of it. 

Assembly and code assembled to executable, sure, but auto-generated higher level code that comes from a decompiler, without comments or documentation? It's a rare skill to be able to read that.

@Wisecrack I enjoy doing rewrites/simplification, how else do you get better wheels. I do try to minimize my own code, after all, there is less chance of bugs that way. 

If you want an easier time, try reading decompiled java it's a bit easier to grok. Looking for patterns and knowing what certain combinations do makes things a lot easier. (I also enjoy the Zachtronics games)

I got onto the decompiled code for hacking old MMOs since sometimes they would encrypt even the localisation/server config so I can switch it to a private server.

I'd say be careful with the long nights, since the caffeine is just binding with your adenosine receptors, and the sugar and vitamines give you an energy boost (so your body is still as tired as before). Then again I tend to work best with about 1 beer in me

You could describe your default tests and prompt something like "I want the tests that i described for this piece of code". Fine -> will generate it. And if it's ok, you create an app of it that does purely that and saves the files automatically or so.

@Lensflare Yep, part of the USB-C 3.1 standard

Otherwise, you'd burn your house down running 100W through a cheap USB cable. (AFAIK if it's missing it only operates at some "safe" capacity, probably same as USB2 5v 2A)

Quoting from wikipedia:

Full-featured USB-C 3.1 cables contain a full set of wires and are "electronically marked" (E-marked): they contain a "eMarker" chip that responds to the USB Power Delivery Discover Identity command, a kind of vendor-defined message (VDM) sent over the configuration data channel (CC). Using this command, the cable reports its current capacities, maximum speed, and other parameters.[31]: §4.9  Full-Featured USB Type-C devices are a mechanic prerequisite for multi-lane operation (USB 3.2 Gen 1x2, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, USB4 2x2, USB4 3x2, USB Gen 4 Asymmetric).[31]

interestingly, since I got sick I felt more normal and my brain seems to work well. makes me think if the AIDS wore off and I've just had an infection in my brain. i keep getting headaches. also everything hurts and I'm nauseas. urgh death.

The Rabbi: The unlucky are nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky. You are unlucky, so I may know that I am not. Unfortunately the lucky never realizes they are lucky until it's too late. Take yourself for instance; yesterday you were better off than you are off today but it took today for you to realize it. But today has arrived and it's too late. You see? People are never happy with what they have. They want what they had, or what someone else has.

Reinventing the wheel is great, molodetz has reinvent the wheel as slogan on front page. What Borded says, how else do you get better wheels, agree on that. But more point for me to reinvent them is because I want to know HOW it's made. For example, when I made a regex interpreter, I didn't look up what the way to go is, I went trough the whole process myself and in the end I ended up something like the official method (I checked later) and after checking more tutorials regarding this, 90% is wrong and will never be the base of a full fledged regex interpreter. They all copied each other's non working basic shit. Some cool resource regarding regex interpreter, normally they're around 1000-1500 lines but one that does 80% of what you want is made in 30 lines in the book beautiful code using C. That book in general is molodetz.

@Nanonoko started to kiss you. I created THE PERFECT working AI assistant with tts/stt. Check the rspeech library on molodetz.nl. With this lib, you only have to put the llm of reference (paid, local hosted, Google, openai or whatever you want) in the middle. I talk the whole day with it. What's so cool? Well, it costs nothing. A whole day talking with your assistant is just a few cents. Not bad for such company. I also implemented that I can tell it to go sleep so it won't respond anymore (so I can have conversations on phone or have visitors) and will wake up when I tell it to. I never have to push a button. It works on a jbl go wireless speaker :)

i had 1 short, totally legal, non-harassing, use of sending 1 txt to 1 number. open it >> says my acc was banned cuz their server 'detected' and therefore i was suspected of "unusual activity".

i ofc just quickly made a new acc..

...but i went back to their dumbass form... which they apparently cant write a basic, extremely minimal styling form and needed to pay for a 3rd party form provider. (like it actually couldve been written in only straight html from the 90s and a simple POST php script (didnt check but they probably used some framework bs))

@retoor I would argue that bug reports are a form of communication between at least two parties.

0. There's a problem so a bug report gets created.

1. Person on the other end checks the report, makes an assessment:

- legit bug,

- !a bug - as designed,

- no time / too trivial - won't fix.

&& takes an action:

- report gets closed,

- or assigned.

2. If legit bug, the assignee fixes the problem, marks issue as resolved.

3. Report gets verified by the tester:

- if fixed - report gets closed,

- else - reopen, goto 2.

If there's no communication, then that's a problem.

If a report looks like no one's worked on it, then blindly rechecking it is a waste of time.

In rare situations - yes, the issue might be fixed, but it is almost always the case that somebody had been working on the affected area or an area adjacent to it.

If there is no info akin to 'we're working on x, so recheck everything related to the feature' we're once again dealing w/ lack of communication.

@electrineer that is not the problem. The problem is separation and a switch for multiple versions of the app (both actual versions as different platforms). Is it account level. Geo IP level or even both. 
If the platform already supported displaying a regional error message (which is quite likely) and there are already tools in place to identify regional traffic it would indeed be fairly easy.

It's not intelligence anyone than behavioral trees. They are still just language models, not anything purpose built for thinking. Even their "reasoning" models just work by doing a couple of rounds of generation instead of just one, but It's the same illusion. If you generate coherent human language it will by necesity look inteligent, because It's en emergent property of langauge. The right words in the right order have to make sense whether or not they were ordered by a human that gave it actual thought or whether its a machine that seen a similar input sequence trillions of time and the similarly ordered output fits. Don't forget that humans are pattern oriented, we can see the face of christ in the right baked toast, doesn't mean the toaster knew what it was doing.

But much more importantly Unix time will cease to be universal because leap seconds are Earth-specific, so maybe, just maybe, we will finally adopt a truly technically motivated time measurement that actually counts time elapsed and not the seconds extrapolated from a clock that's constantly being fucked with to track the state of an N-body system.

(also the time measurement in question would probably have to count seconds from the perspective of a stationary reference observer outside the supercluster because between Earth and Mars relativistic time dilation is observable, which will generate additional problems billions of years down the line when Earth leaves the observable universe of the reference observer, but surely we won't be using the same unit of measurement by then)

On friday night, she cames back at 10pm, she starts cooking. I'm like "don't you wanna do it tomorrow", she's like "NOOO I'M GOING TO THE LIBRARY IT HAVE TO BE DONE NOW". Then she got mad at me for being silent (like bitch it's 10PM I'm about to go to sleep) and then the food was meh and she left a huge mess.

Then the day after I'm like "Ok I'm gonna clean up", and she arrives and start cooking AGAIN and mess up things I just cleaned up. So we had a huge fight.

And then the day after, it was kindof ok, I started cleaning AGAIN and AGAIN she came and started cooking, even though I was like "please let me do my part of the works", but no, I had to do groceries, and cut things, and help her, and then she's like "WOW YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING".

I'm out of money because she doesn't give a shit about money and if I dare to say "hey maybe we can, you know, not spend everything" she gets mad and call me cheap. Now I owe 30k in backtaxes

It works, and it's good enough for everybody except people like me.

If I sprint to ship, my limit is one week. If I don't ship in one week, I get instant burnout and kill the project (https://miloxeon.notion.site/dc3958...).

@retoor currently it's still a wip. Main interface is cli, rest is tbd [maybe].

Yes, kernel-level lb. It's based on netfilter, which operates in kernel. It itself supports loadbalancing, but managing it is tedious and it does not have healthchecks. 

The project is basically an iptables wrapper. Which makes it a good candidate for further development - a k8s operator managing nodes' firewall rules through a daemonset. This will enable me to have hybrid clusters [mixed nodes: multicloud, physical, etc.] with publicly exposed all ports, but protected by a common firewall config - iptables.

@ScriptCoded performance. Not crossing any kernel rings for any of the forwarded packets, not making any syscalls. Not making double accounting for sockets. And perfectly fitting all the needed 'working' state in memory, in kernel, even if the app crashes. In fact, the only way to crash such a LB is to crash the OS itself, so bugs in my code will not affect traffic directly - they will only prevent state in kernelspace from being updated [eg running h/c against targets and taking them to LB_OFFLINE chain if hc fails, which does not happen THAT often]

@antigermgerm if you guys make a deal about who cleans and who cooks it's clear what everyone does right? Seems that you guys just need some structure and role assignment.

Sadly, my ex was the other 10%. Just crazy. Besides one, I had never fights in relationships. I cut a lot of slack myself.

I don't think it's a good idea to find professional help. It's better to have a good friend that knows you to discuss such things. If you don't have the type of friends to discuss such things maybe it is an option indeed. With my dad it's impossible to speak about feelings or whatever. He doesn't feel things, he does things.

Normally I love terminal stuff but when it comes to chat - I want to share pictures with thumbnails site previews (site preview tech is done, what a work, wasted too much on that). Issue was a bit to get it working on alpine. It required some system packages. Playwright or selenium was also option but too heavy in my eyes for the app I want to make.

Reason? He was unwilling to mark something as 'Won't fix' because he was afraid of getting blamed for it.

it's a great idea in theory but game makers figured out it dropped sales by 90% 😁

@jestdotty No, !really.

Can't remember what the issue was about but it was fixable, although the pool of affected users might've been limited.

For whatever reason he didn't want to fix it, so left a comment stating that this wouldn't get fixed, but the report's status clearly contradicted that.

When !sticking to proper procedure, i.e. like he wanted to mark the report as fixed, it's a pain to find reports like that.

Also, let's say at a later time another person encounters this same issue.

They would search for it in the bug tracker && if they found the report closed w/ status 'fixed', any possible blame would be put on the one who closed it as such.

Anyway, there was much simpler option - he should've bounced the report to PM or someone else who deals w/ decisions, like his lead.

Let that person take the responsibility.

Eventually he did that, but !before he was presented w/ that option.

@jestdotty I guess it depends on the point of view.

I'd say that if a person closes a report, then they accept the current state of things.

If the report is marked as resolved w/ a resolution 'fixed', then it should be logical that the closing of such a report means the problem has indeed been fixed.

Digging through the comments isn't something done by default.

But again - it makes no sense to leave a comment saying it's a won't fix, but mark the resolution as fixed.

If he truly wanted to cover his ass, he should've bounced the report to a decision-maker from the get go, avoiding all the subsequent problems that followed ensued.

@donkulator 
Several issues with your response:
- it's not "softcolon" in a situation etc... it's the title of a business (the business has nothing to do with anything even remotely connected to biology/colons)

- colons(the biological kind) are not naturally soft. It's often confused as synonymous with the large intestine, because, in fact, it is the largest part of the large intestine. It's basically strechy layers of smooth muscle and thin, porous, tissue that acts as a filter to pull water and certain micronutrients/electrolytes/etc out of crap before it passes to the rectum.

Medically, if a colon was able to have "soft" as an attribute (of the colon itself, not the density of your shit) it would be extremely concerning... cuz itd be extremely swollen/inflamed or otherwise abnormally, not at all benignly, enlarged tissue

... i guess it's possible that softcolon was a ref of a puctuation type, : colon... but that's a whole different bag of mind-bogglement

@donkulator technically u got me... cuz technically 24k is supposed to be 100% purity...  but due to the extremely soft structure of gold and the natural, near inevitability of inclusions (most being unintentional) and molecular structural enhancements(however minor) from essentially waste products of heat-mediated purification and molecules naturally existing in air that get pulled in during cooling... unless in a sterile vacuum...

The standard usage of "24k" has grown futher away from actually pure/100%... especially as consumerism favours terminology and labels far more than lnowledge of scientific standards.

Basically:
The label 24k gold has quite a bit of allowed, lower, variance... whether in jewelry or ethernet. 
Industrial gold plating for tech (aside from some specific high precision applications in a vacuum) is facetious because there's thin layers of componuds for binding and resilience.
I was just using an excess of highly purified gold directly, more functional purity.

not like hitler-esq, think more like a protected nature preserve with the good intentions of senior citizen housing, that has the necessary measures to allow those with dementia and alzheimers.

Ofc it'd require hefty funding... but cameras, like wildlife reserves, would allow for security/safety with minimal disruption to their habitat... and the research to gain potentially valuable insights, while also allowing monetisation like a much more humane, realistic/true... and surely fascinating, zoo. Ofc unlike most zoo's it'd be totally remote viewing... possibly even some form of harmless, yet monetised, interaction options... nothing to mess with their budding ecosystems or culture.

user_username: jestdotty

@Grumm so that plays on different psychology

games play on hype

cars they want you to test drive so they hook you based on the human instinct of possession. once you feel something is yours you will overvalue it. when people are asked how much an orange they have is worth vs an orange someone else has is worth they will always rate theirs as worth more, iirc by 80%. so for physical items, provided it's difficult to steal them, they want your monkey brain to "imagine yourself in it", aka not just in that moment but your life with that thing. this will cause attachment, and especially in males possessiveness, but also trigger that confirmation bias where everybody thinks what they "own" is worth more than what someone else owns, so then they will pay a lot more to possess that item for real than they would've in a rational state of mind

in the case of games they're selling you dreams. not physical items with utilities I guess. you demo you ruin the hype

@Grumm effect isn't as strong as drip-feeding hype I guess

with cars they have to work you for that psychological effect to be strong. iirc it's any big ticket items. the successful vendors basically have a rule of "let them joyride it as much as possible". someone driving a car for 2 hours might not do it. they'll call you back. it's a whole flirting and showing you steak in front of your face until you're Pavlov's dog thing

with video games they do the hype-train with slow releasing blogs, trailers, teasers, etc. the indie devs figured it out years back and they slow-drip and make "communities" for minimum 6 months to 3 damned years. it's frankly so annoying, but it's what works

I know that sound completely crazy - what respect is there if you get 'forced' to wear such thing?.. Well, it's a kinda, you may have everything but .... Kinda deal. Bigger issue in my eyes is that they're expected not to work. Sounds good, but it should be possible. If a woman can't find a guy or wants to leave a guy, she's fucked. No work experience, certain age etc. The thing is - man depended by force... Most of the muslim ladies are used to that and don't see the issue I guess. And that's not understandable and thus a culture difference. The nicest way to describe batshit crazy stuff. Btw, you don't have to respect that shit at all. I tolerate it at its top. Respect would be a lane to far. They're doing stuff very forbidden in my culture.

@cprn go to https://retoorded.molodetz.nl for devrant stats using an android phone. If you enable the microphone, you can just ask it by voice. Should add a text box but that project is on hold - it costed too much time to get everything right. Now there' a bug that it listens to itself, it's not hard to solve, but i'm just done :P

@cprn you can just do `await app.postMessage("What bot war did happened on devRant?")` in the developer tools terminal with ctrl+shift+i. If you don't see clippy, you have to click. For security reasons there's user interaction allowed before it can access sound / microphone and such.

@kiki if they fire you bevause they can't afford you anymore or your function is not needed anymore it can be a year to two salaries if you have a steady contract. If you get fired because you're incompetent but have a steady contract, same rule. Your ego is hurt but at least you have some money. If you get fired bevsuse you did smth wrong, mostly the government takes over the salary for certain percentage. A big one. You have time and money to find a new one job. How long you can do about finding a job depends on how long you've worked. In the Netherlands they'll force you to apply three times a month. If you decline that, they could cut your income but in reality they won't do that quick, because if you run into monet problems you're still a problem but even worse. I never needed such services but afaik it's very well done here. SIDE NOTE: YOU DON'T GET MONEY IF YOU HAVE MONEY. So, if you're poor you get free monehh, if you've huge savings, not for long anymore.
