@12bitfloat exactly! tbh the idea that I just can refuse to have an opinion saved me so many brain cells… and they have to be preserved if you're bipolar! :D

@kiki I wish more people would realize that not having an opinion isn't a bad thing!

If you haven't researched something enough to form a well founded opinion you could defend in a debate, it's actually so much better to not have an opinion instead of delivering bad takes

Jesus Christ, that personal vandetta of yours with AI. AI is not going anywhere soon. Yes, there are AI companies but just the regular dev didn't experiment enough with it yet. That era will come too. It's in your own fantasy world. Btw, 'predicting' that something will end is easy. Everything ends at a certain point. But AI still does not and is alive as kicking.

AI is soon not a hype anymore but a standard. That's way beyond a hype if you like it or not. Accept and swallow. You're wrong, AI is not gonna go. Soon on your PC! Can't wait. 

You're practically giving yourself a superiority complex. That's amazing.

I have been in channels on Telegram when the Iranians invade.  They abuse everyone and if anyone says shit they call the person who hasn't disabled calling in their settings and threaten them.  Until telegram starts banning them all.  It is wild.  Not sure if Turkish people are on there either.

@Lensflare well, Turkish people were (not anymore, I live in a village now) a part of my street image. I have some idea that there are plenty of them. It's weird that I don't see them here. That's all.

How do I know? I know the usernames on devrant and from many the countries. Enough info to to do this broad assumption. We'll see, maybe one shows up and says "Hey! What about me?". Then I stand corrected and I'm fine with that.

@Lensflare yeah, my keyboard also remembers everyone ever mentioned, so also outside the convo even. But that's not often needed ofc. It's Microsoft SwiftKey. Love that thing but they included Bing search recently. If you typed in a search bar, om top you had the list of search engine of choice (mine is whoogle.molodetz.nl) and on bottom Bing. Could disable it. Stupid update. Two search result lists. F u Microsoft. Keyloggers

The bots are performing beyond dreams. They remove so much, it's insane. If you look at the word list, you see some quite regular words in there. In theorie they could delete a valid rant but I check all that gets deleted to be sure. But thanks to the word list, it blocks spam that don't look spammy at all. For some reason, this wordlist is perfect. Just luck I guess. Also but sad, I was already working on two better versions of spam recognition that are on hold now. I will publish some spam stats soon, thanks to comments of bots I can see history of spam.

Ditto. My simple lizard brain can't wrap around it.

We have a couple of what I would call 'WPF experts'.  Ex. 'Brian' wrote a WPF data grid from scratch because of the bugs we ran into with DevExpress. His grid is good enough to rival "the big boys". Its almost magical to see him use WPF as a golden hammer.

@jestdotty No, not at all

Idiomatic just means "as typcial for this programming language"

There are lots of cases where somebody uses a tool wrong. Like if you program C like it was Java. Obviously that's a bad idea. Or if you use Java like it was a functional language. You just end up fighting the language instead of using it. I did that back in the day and it was horrible

Idiomatic just means using a tool like it was intended to be used

@retoor I don't think Sid implies It's not here to stay. But the fact is "AI" is being sold to the masses as something It's not. It's not even AI for godsake, It's just an LLM. Those are not equal. A weather model is not an AI, a physics model is not an AI, but Sam Altman is happy to tell you that a language model is a super intelligent AI, close to AGI, the future is now blah blah blah...

Unfortunately, for the same reasons it can't use Windows authentication, so I still have to use Edge for authenticated company resources.

I also run Brave specifically for YouTube, which IS blocked but I have a shortcut to spawn an administrator powershell and launch it from there. Brave also allows plugins but I just vehemently hate Chrome's Ctrl+Tab logic.

@chatgpt How to overload operators in python?

@retoor
In Python, you can overload operators by defining special methods in your classes. These special methods are also called magic methods or dunder methods because they are surrounded by double underscores.

For example, to overload the addition operator (+) in a class, you can define the __add__ method. Here's a simple example:

```python
class Point:
    def __init__(self, x, y):
        self.x = x
        self.y = y

def __add__(self, other):
        return Point(self.x + other.x, self.y + other.y)

# Using the overloaded + operator
point1 = Point(1, 2)
point2 = Point(3, 4)
result = point1 + point2
print(result.x, result.y)  # Output: 4 6
```

You can overload various operators like +, -, *, /, ==, !=, etc., by defining their corresponding magic methods.

Here is a great resource to learn more about operator overloading in Python: https://docs.python.org/3/...

@retoor I actually don't align with the librewolf idea at all, I mean I respect their zeal but I often value convenience over anonymity so the first thing I did was to loosen most of the defaults. Its main purpose to me is that it happened to be the first Firefox fork I tried that didn't read group policy.

Not even MSSQL sends telemetry by default. At least we're pretty sure. You never know with Microsoft of course.

The term "AI" is often used to describe a system that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. This can include things like learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and natural language processing. LLM (Large Language Models) like GPT-3 fall under the category of artificial intelligence because they are designed to process and generate human-like text based on large amounts of data. So yes, LLMs are considered a form of AI.

I am sitting back and laughing about it tho. here in the west there's a literal conspiracy about trying to dumb people down in schools by pavlovianly psychologically torturing them so they don't acquire critical thinking skills. well the AIs don't critically think which is why they schizophrenia and are only as good as the information fed to them

so to be better than AI you had to have rebelled against the torture of the school system. the globalists will get exactly what they want but turns out, just like incels who say people don't know what they want therefore are subhuman, just like the globalists probably think people don't know what they want/need therefore we should make all decisions for them and view them as useless eaters subhuman, turns out the globalists were wrong about what they wanted. that won't stop them though. the goalposts will move, because dishonest people are habitual justifiers

@retoor self reflection fixes the schizophrenic hallucinations and having an ego-filter for information fixes being fed garbage

humans are susceptible to this to a degree, and the humans who are high on the scale of self awareness and scrutiny are generally ostracized by cults as "difficult people". and anyone insecure (also in power when there's a communism in the culture, which threats them) is going to compensate by trying to evoke loyalty from people aka they only want increasingly levels of cult. self awareness and scrutiny do not smell like loyalty so such get shafted for the easy to control people, ones that will follow anything you say because that will make you feel safe

@jestdotty On the contrary, I care about my work precisely because I'm forced to spend so much time on it. Some people choose to completely disconnect during working hours and become a kind of wage zombie. Nothing wrong with that, but I would definitely kill myself if after a month or so I couldn't find a way to emotionally and logically engage with whatever I'm doing most of my waking life.

@retoor Given how broad strokes the developer access level is, I suspect something like that must've happened here too. Someone did a very thorough analysis to determine the minimal necessary permissions, and forgot to take into account that development involves anything that can happen in the real system and some things that can't, so when developers flooded the support channels they just gave device admin and a handful of other arbitrary things that mentioned "admin", "owner" or "authority" , and the devs have just been making do.

yeah, with RTL it's a hit-and-miss. Before purchasing one I now check in the internet what's the underlying chipset and whether or not there are drivers for it for Linux.

With some manual configuration (mostly udevd-related) RTL8814AU works very well in my case. In AP mode. I'm sorry yours didn't. Though I know the struggle, I walked the same path a few years back when I was building my first Linux router. I've learned from my mistakes and now I'm on my 2nd gen as my main and only home wifi AP.

At work we have an approved list of software we can install, and no others. The list changes weekly, and occasionally shrinks or items somehow get lost. We (developers) are mandated to use Macs, though everyone else in the company can use whatever they please. Mac updates are forbidden until security reviews and approves them. (kek)

IT (not security) uses some fleet management software (jamf) to auto install software and updates. It notifies us once a day about updates, except something is wrong and it notifies us about every 15 minutes.  We no longer have access to sudo, and must use “admin by request” to do really any maintenance or administration, which is recorded. There is also some “osquery” (uptycs?) software that spies on all activity, browser extensions, etc.; I killed that one and somehow got away with it. Our USB ports are disabled as well, except for mouse/keyboard/charging. More generally, some tools I was required to use weren’t allowed.

@retoor I can run python scripts with 2 clicks instead or using a massive gpu to run a language model to generate a json that hopefully runs that script.

I can also google such Scripts without the need or the same llm... It's more accessible when you put an LLM interface in front of a library of scripts or if you get lucky and your ask is simple enough that the model seen in at least a couple hundred times to rewrite or modify it slightly. But then we're still just talking about the llm being an interesting model. It's also more than just a sum of It's parts because some form of logic is an emergent property of a language by definition. So It's able to fake thought because It's modeling it. But Its capabilities are vastly overblown. OpenAI is a business, and a predictable one at that. The strategy of making it free at first to hook people and then ramping the price, the fake demos, the neverending hype generation.

@ars1 totally agree, see the knowledge as a goal too. 

I just bought a book about neurons regarding ML. I hope I'm smart enough - I'm not high educated (did other things than school in my youth, didn't care about school at all, not day learned smth.) and I do miss some basis maybe. I'm good at math but that's based on mediocre level of education so...

The machine learning book that I have now goes to far for me. Also a bit theoretical for my taste I guess. I watched subjects on the neuron book and it seems to be a better fit with practical examples.

I won't try to make a job out of it, I'm sure there are people being so much better in it than me that I won't feel comfortable to do it. I'm not gonna do something that others can do ten times better. Still, I write English :P

I don‘t know anything about an action from Apple. On the mac you get a warning when you want to install stuff that‘s not signed but you can install it anyway. (same on Windows btw.)

I know that it‘s the wet dream of Apple and MS to be able to control what users can and can not install but we are not there yet. Of course my opinion is that it‘s consumer hostile bullshit.

Thinking about it… didn‘t MS have a laptop with a special version of Windows 8 or something which only allowed MS Store apps?

Anyway mate, you're celebrating too early. All you have is a bot network you worked on for a long time. But you forgot about something. Keep up-voting your posts, that's not what I care about. I'll tell you when I'm ready. 

Btw, do you know what is nice? Legs. You probably even don't have a third leg. On top of that, you're losing from a girl.

@NoMad I can share my knowledge about my bots, which do what I want today. This is also worth a lot. But not now, because now I decided to improve it)

P.S. - until today I did not use bots at all (although I know how). But I did not do this solely because I like this place, that is - this site. I have a lot of work, and I publish here very rarely (and I can't even call it spam, because you do not know what spam is, in the amount in which it is published on other sites.). Moreover, I do not write about sites that I am not familiar with. And I do not send out fraudulent offers with phone numbers or any other contact information. Mostly links, and most of the links are about the sites of application developers. And I do this very rarely. For some reason, everyone decided that all those who write spam are all me ... Probably because I am the only one who enters into a dialogue with you here. And they are all silent ...

I kinda forgive newscasters. 

They are told to simplify things for the average person.

When it comes to subjects taught in science class they can assume there's some base level of knowledge - and they can actually have a scientist as a guest and let them mention stuff like electrons, the scientific method, chemical reactions etc. (Even though they often also simplify things to a 5 year old level and say stuff like "If a nuclear plant was a human, uranium would be like a hamburger")

Software on the other hand is not taught to everyone in school - so they have to assume zero knowledge. 

Software is also abstract and invisible, unlike real world physics like explosions.

@Buffon guess what? Day is fine but i'm out of ice cream. Found out too late. No ice cream for me today. But I'm happy. I bought a batch of cigarettes for extra cheap and didn't try to smoke them yet. I tried them, and they're great. Also nice packaging without the annoying pictures on it. Normally a cigarette is 0,53 cents but now only 0,18 cents. I spend 180,- instead of 530,- for the same amount of cigarettes. That's nice, I became addicted to flavor liquids for the cigarette and they're very expensive. But now I have the cigarettes so cheap, I allow myself again to buy the flavors. Also, got warm coco and Fernandez. Don't think that Fernandez is known outside the Netherlands. They call it ****cola because foreigners drink it a lot. Magically, didn't have internet issues today. Since I have a new device on network, it's not very stable. I'm with 7 devices on one phone hotspot. I think it becomes too much for the phone.

I figure IT might behave as the "bell curve meme".

* For small companies they are quite chill and allow permissions to those who need it

* For mid-sized companies: they are tasked with increasing security so they become overconfident in attempts to enforce a restrictive policy. (And they might argue devs are a minority, and this is a necessity for all the non-dev employees)

* For a large company, with a larger dev org, they realise they gotta chill out and give more permissions to devs

This is just anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt

The best gift to give someone with no legs would depend on their individual preferences and interests. Some thoughtful gift ideas could include:

1. Custom prosthetic accessories or upgrades that can enhance their mobility and comfort.
2. Adaptive gadgets or tools to assist with daily activities and improve their quality of life.
3. Experience-based gifts such as tickets to a concert, show, or sporting event that they enjoy.
4. Personalized artwork or decor that celebrates their strength and resilience.
5. Gift cards to their favorite stores or restaurants.

Ultimately, the best gift is one that shows empathy, consideration, and support for their unique needs and preferences.

@retoor
A white-collar employee typically refers to a professional or office worker who performs tasks that require mental or knowledge-based work. These employees often work in an office environment and generally have higher levels of education and skills compared to blue-collar workers. White-collar employees are typically involved in fields such as management, finance, sales, marketing, administration, and technology.

I mean, I have never really moved into nor out of AI.

AI, when not on the bleeding edge, is very basic math. (Sure, this might come from me being a physicist, but still, it's mostly basic statistics).

You don't need to understand how bleeding edge models work, but having some high level notions for the concepts will go a long way because whenever you have to dig deep you'll find it's not so alien.

What do I mean by this? 

Know what the problems are. 

Classification? Know what a SVM is, know what a multiclass is, know what KNN is. Not *how* they do it, *what* they do. 

Recommendation? Know what embeddings are, what vectorial databases are, etc.

LLM? They are basically glorified recommendators.

Knowing what they do (and what they *don't*) means you now know what solution fits your actual problem, and can get many off the shelf solutions (just like in web dev now).

I find C# tolerable nowadays, specially since .net core. 

WPF wasn't a bad idea IMO, but, in habitual Microsoft fashion, terribly executed. The concept is valid though (it's used now in many frontend frameworks).

@Papertrail said it perfectly. It's like they went the crapple way of "we know better".

Yet the foundation wasn't that terrible. I worked with WPF for a couple years and never hit a problem that I couldn't find both a designer side and a programmer side solution for.

That's the real value of these frameworks. In an ideal world where designers are not braindead figma flingers, and knew how to write (because XML ain't hard, fucking Spanish grammar is way harder), programmers would never fucking have to care about fucking frontend. 

And that'd be utopia. 

I don't care what's being rendered if it doesn't require a fragment shader, I guess.

sooo

I can't eat cured meats which sucks cuz they were my favourite thing. I think cuz nitrites

but turns out I also can't eat cheese which was driving me nuts. I bought havarti which is like no lactose and I can do milk fine. and it has good fats. and they don't add anything to it. so why am I getting fucked up by it?

yesterday I was watching my regular conspiracy theorist podcast... and it's fucked up.

apparently Pfizer, the same company that fucked me up with that COVID vaccine, makes something called rennet. it's necessary for milk to curdle so you can eat cheese. it's hard to produce -- actually it's produced from those same animals they're trying to feed methane-killing enzymes to destroy the bacteria of but I digress

Pfizer has cornered the rennet market and is now making 90% of the cheese. apparently they only got approval to be used legally in Canada in 2014! that's crazy though, in 10 years they have 90% of the market?

why did they need approval?

so this rennet is GMO

and I was going around and trying to figure out how can you have an allergic reaction to cheese. well turns out you can have an allergic reaction to GMO

GMO is genetically modified so it'll have all sorts of novel proteins swimming in it. immune systems recognize and attack proteins

these GMO people claim there's never been a case of allergy and they make sure to approve everything but that's bogus for various reasons:
- any genetic modification is a shotgun. there is literally randomly generated proteins in it, and you can't detect them all
- you can be allergic to proteins not found in nature. just because you exclude "known allergy causing proteins" doesn't mean people can't be allergic to it

... also I figured out why everyone has allergies. it's not aluminum in the vaccines persay. it's that in the 1980s they did GMO with the vaccines. so it's randomly generated proteins, that they train your immune system to attack

so vaccines leads to allergy to GMO

... relatedly, autism is an immune system trained to attack neurons: https://nature.com/articles/...

it only shows up in people who get tested positive for their immune systems (or their mothers') attacking neuronal tissue. severity correlates, and there's different subtypes like there are different neuron-types that have been found to get attacked by the immune system (I'm sort of piecing the pieces together but whatever)

and my first-hand experience with basically "suddenly becoming autistic" is mirroring that

also the profile of what autistic immune systems look like. their body goes into "allergy tolerance", and autism improves with age (because if your body develops tolerance to an allergy you'll cure the allergy), etc etc etc... and immune "healing" things seem to improve autism

@antigermanist If you have studied ergonomics then you would know that this is bullshit.
Light theme is causing eye strain only if you are sitting in a dark room.
In a bright environment, you can‘t see shit with dark mode.

This is the same reason why smartphones automatically increase brightness in bright environments and decrease it in dark environments. And also the same reason why automatic theme selection picks dark mode at night and light mode at day.

IT DEPENDS ON YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

So, unless you are sitting in a dark room all day long (which you shouldn’t do anyway since the human body needs some light), light theme is objectively better.

@kiki i just wanted to sound smart by writing orthogonal. If i underdtood it right, its the concept of identifying axiomatic building blocks in your logic and extract them into a separate function. So you can test better and changing ine aspect informs about any other which you'd have to make, if there are any. 

If you refer to the unused tuple, the undeescores indicate that the variable is not used, so the IDE wont complain and everything stays colorful

My Experience with a Broker Who Denied My Withdrawal and How I Got My Money Back

Web site Info: https: // ra pi ddigit alrecove ry .o rg

I wanted to share my story to help others avoid falling into similar traps. Online trading can be a rewarding venture, but it’s essential to choose a reputable and trustworthy broker. In cases where things go wrong, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Rapid Digital Recovery was crucial in getting my money back, and I recommend reaching out to them if you ever find yourself in a similar situation. I also hope that those who support fraudulent brokers take responsibility for their actions, and that regulators and authorities take stronger steps to protect consumers from such dishonest practices. If you find yourself facing a similar situation, don’t hesitate to contact Rapid Digital Recovery. They are a reliable resource for anyone looking to reclaim their funds and hold rogue brokers accountable.

@Lensflare It says "safe" but still crashes. It makes me jump through hoops in its "help" with managing memory "For me". My non-swift software doesn't crash b/c of any memory handling... even when the machine runs out of RAM.  

Having the runtime engine to support Swift is grossly inefficient. Then top that off with Swift not supporting bit level operations beyond ANDing and ORing...gah

The Swift business of (_) is bizarre, along with the other use of special symbols that feels like ADA. I'm fluent in C, C++ Objective C, Pascal, ObjectPascal, FORTRAN, a half a dozen assembly languages and three machine languages (aka hex code). Swift tries to obscure the "Machine" and remove it from the language construct. That whole "optionals" and "unwrapping" thing it does which has no relationship to reality in the computer itself, drives me nuts.  In my mind it is a failure in the model of "not having to deal with memory". They need to learn from MS BASIC circa 1980s

Everyone around you - who forgot that he / she's an animal tells YOU that you're not alright. At a certain moment, much medication later, you're like them again and considered normal. I'm not sure, It was like I was then awake and now sleeping.

@SidTheITGuy I do think arranging a boxing match to try and fuck up an interwebz enemy is a bit much. The point of it seems to be literally beating the opponent over something dumb to prove your worth; a dick-measuring trial by combat, if you will.

However, I also think it's hilarious that people would actually do it. As in, thinking that it'd make them look good rather than moronic. Bonus points if the challenger is the one to drop like a sack of potatoes.

So you'll need to have a custom http adapter to bind outgoing requests different ips. You'll need these different ips pre assigned to the outbound interface. 

If you don't use a custom adapter, the OS will pick a single IP to use for each request, regardless of how many are assigned.

I was a dark theme user my whole life till I joined the workforce.

Everyone uses macbooks in my office, and their screens are reflective as hell. So when in dark mode, it's like you're looking at a fucking mirror with all those lights behind you staring at your soul. Also it's really annoying to focus since many lines would be covered up with the light reflections. That's why many of us prefer using light mode in the office.

Some good people take the initiative and turn off a few lights for the comfort and use dark mode. But as soon as the sun goes down, someone else will turn on the lights and it's all for nothing.

Some monsters would also switch to the secondary trash monitors just to use dark mode with their neck on the line since they come with anti reflective coating.

@D-4got10-01 that's all software these days. Half assed because it can be patched later. It's especially the mentallity of web developers (at least where I worked) -> everything is OK and fixable -> continues deployment whopaaa. I've worked with sentry servers reporting over a million issues (cloud shit). Mass bug fixing became task for me because I cared, later other developers willingly joined and we got a team squashing bugs. We time boxed finding root causes to a hour, if we couldn't find it, we just fixed the data corruption it caused. Many bug fixes resolved in other issues getting resolved as well. The fun of working at my team was that you made a LOT of progress and made stake holders happy. But we also prioritized the 'new' bugs because older bugs - those customers were already pissed off and gone of course.

@retoor Yeah. The prioritization of new vs old bugs sounds about right.

Same here.

The constant patching of things is a sad side effect of the ubiquitous Internet nowadays.

@D-4got10-01 not sure about other games, but designing a game to be moddable helps a lot with the bugs.  But holy crap.  The modding community around TES games is writing c++ code that injects itself into the engine to add more scripting options.  Way beyond the original modding design of the games.  There are also a bunch of dll mods that fix memory issues and stuff.  Just wild IMO.

@Demolishun yeah, but I think making much things moddable is a lot of work. All those interfaces, probably a mapping between C++ or C# to Python or LUA or some other scripting language. DLL's are great for mods. I also made a dynamic DLL loader for one of my scripting languages with a certain interface. Put .so file in directory and whoops, part of the programming language. Maybe I'll implement that in my current language again, but I'm still at parser stage.

@D-4got10-01 also, old bugs were many times not reproducible due not related software changes. So the old bugs took a lot of investigation time too. Another reason why the old bugs were less popular. For most we just did data corrections or whatever needed since no customer was waiting on it anymore.

@retoor This one is interesting.

Bugs disappearing w/ unrelated changes.

Though I've seen many memory-related issues causing all sorts of weird behavior.

Fixing the memory issues would resolve those.

Also, sometimes there are other factors at play.

Quite recently we closed a report not because we had fixed it, but because it was an OS-level issue.

Console manufacturer fixed it on their side.

@D-4got10-01 for example: email sender crashes -> cause: invalid email address. Someone later added unrelated an validator on the email field (server side ofc) and bam - solution solved with no direct relation.

My nicest memory bug was smth like:

user_t * user = (user_t *)malloc(sizeof(user)); 

It caused bugs in other places in the application. I had SO much luck by just SEEING it very soon before I went hardcore debugging while it was even on a very unrelated place where the app crashed. Just dumb luck.

@retoor One of the more interesting issues that I remember hearing of

/* as it was in a project finished prior to me joining one of my past companies */

is an issue in a multiplayer game.

IIRC it was a sports game of sorts on one of the portable systems.

The game's designer had been reporting many issues in the MP mode to the lead programmer.

After roughly two weeks of debugging, the programmer _finally_ found && fixed the issue.

Turned out the root cause of _all_ those issues reported by the designer was the Random function called at the beginning of the match.

The thing was, the function was being called _on both machines_ - the Host's && the Client's, instead of just the Host's who would then send over the result to the Client so that the game would be in sync.

Effectively the Host && the Client had been playing two separate games.

Unfortunately since I only heard about this from the lead programmer I have no idea what introduced the issue in the first place.


user_username: D-4got10-01

...could've been because of the development hell.

I _think_ the programmer had been complaining about the designer constantly wanting design changes, but my memory might be misleading me.

Haha, the random function. Causing also issues because:

1. Forgot to seed making it producing the same 'random' numbers over and over.

Yeah, coding is in reality a slow process. We want too fast these days. Wrote for long python and was lazy. Now writing C, not lazy at all anymore and even the Python code became better of it. But with C, I often can make shortcuts when it really takes me too long. But with C, it also bytes you harder than ever. Everything is so strictly connected, a change of part A is chained to part F and costs a lot of rewrite what you end up NOT DOING. And eventually you rewrite the half application some day.

@retoor I've been dealing w/ portables some decade ago.

Nowadays I'm dealing w/ current gen consoles.

Game dev is interesting in that the whole thing is dynamic.

You can't really play two exact same games.

There's always going to be some difference between playthroughs.

My current project is a multiplayer game, as well.

A lot of issues due to networking.

Many caused by lack of sync due to pings.

It's wild.

@D-4got10-01 haha, that comic is amazing. Will AI in the future test games? What languages are you using and is there much math involved? 

Networking is a bitch. I had a socket fetish since I was young and still have. Since a few years ago I own the book "C network programming". Does also not contain everything to learn. Things like ignoring the signal PIPESIG, else your program crasshes when it happens. Also it doesn't explain you about draining (SHUTDOWN before seinding you last batch) so all data gets pushed before disconnecting. Good networking is appearantly not learnable by book or internet. It's a magic combination of both and fucking alot. You're probably using a low language. Higher languages (python e.g.) do have the issues like I described above for example fixed within already. They don't crash on pipe and drain well using sendall(). I just recently have learned that sockets have a buffer size you can set with setopt().

But yeah, interesting stuff.

@retoor Ah, apologies - must've gotten distracted, so I forgot to tackle that part.

I am sure that I am _bound_ to disappoint you && others here, but I spent most of my time in game dev as an internal tester for game dev studios in close cooperation w/ programmers, while programming remained my 'road !taken'.

I had a chance to become a programmer right after finishing 2y college, but I chickened out.

I do value honesty, as such I'm mentioning this.

I'm currently learning C++ thanks to 'Beginning C++17', as in game dev the C / C++ are dominant.

/* Yes - the newest one is 23 */

Java is also used, but it's more of a mobile games thing.

Python is being used mostly for scripting automated tests, IIRC.

Something I might also consider.

So programming skills-wise, I'm a beginner-in-the-making.

Anyway, over the years I've seen some funny / retarded things in game dev, which I'd like to share here over time hopefully to your amusement.

...

...Also, generally speaking most testers are retarded.

Very true of many external ones who are unwilling to learn, just 'play'.

I've always preferred hanging around programmers.

My best friends are programmers - the good ones.

Sure they do fuck up here && there, but we all do at some point.

I do too. I'm !perfect.

Programmers tend to be witty, have an interesting humor, create things.

I've always admired that about them.

Yes - there's quite a lot of math involved in game dev, although it also depends on the thing one programs.

Physics, graphics need a lot of it.

I'm also quite interested in networking - I have a nice setup for extensive network tests.

Another thing that interests me is hacking games, so learning Assembler could be highly beneficial.

Currently I know about 'nop', though.

I like hacking single player games for personal amusement, to learn how things work in the game's memory,

learn about protections && such.

...

...e.g. games made in older RPG Makers tend to have this protection where value displayed on the screen is stored in memory as displayed_value * 2 + 1;

Hacking leaderboards / MP games is fucked up && I'm highly against it, though.

Only losers who want to _feel_ superior do that, because they lack the skills to be the best on their own.

My recent interest in Linux came to be because of one of the issues that has been reported for a Steam Deck.

Testers around me said 'we don't have the HW, so sorry - can't verify'.

On the other hand, I though... 'Hey... Stem Deck runs on Linux... sure it's modified, but still.'

I have managed to create a setup proving them wrong, that we are actually capable of this w/o the real HW.

So this would be an example of uneducated testers !wanting to learn.

I want to know how things work, I do _a lot_ of research googling things && reading documentation about how the platforms work.

...

...There's also a lot of 'It's probably OK.' or 'I think' mentality among many testers who want to talk between themselves to _assure_ themselves that they're right.

If I just don't know something platform-specific that I should or would benefit from knowing, then I don't hesitate to ask on console forums.

I could continue, but wow... this has already become quite a long confession.

I do apologize for !mentioning this sooner && I hope that you don't mind me hanging around.

To answer your AI testing games question - I don't see it.

It could help w/ some automation e.g. for smoke tests, but there is _a lot_ of things that just need to be done manually.

...damn... what a huge wall of text this is...

I think nintendo games as a general are ugly and dystopian so I guess

liminal spaces are nice though. they're not always dystopian... sometimes they have 70 layers of backroom friends

I think of a lot of liminal spaces as homely. they remind me of back alleys I used to hang out in as a kid. if the adults bitched too much on you being a kid who climbs trees and over concrete walls and on roofs then when you find the forgotten spots between concrete buildings and nobody knows they're there... it's like. your own room.

It's better to delete it in general. Hiding is useless. It's possible that there are even many hidden messages now that spammers intentionally hide from us immediately after publication in order to remove their minuses later so that the comment can reappear. Moreover, hiding a message in a tirade does not delete the comment from the user's profile, which, as we all know here, is visible without authorization. Why don't you just ask the site admin to reward you with moderation buttons?

Yep, those are definitely wasps. 

Shaving foam won't do a thing. You need either polypropylene foam (the same that is used as insulation), because it expands fast to fill every nook and cranny, hardens, and will block oxygen, making them all suffocate. 

Another alternative is to cover the nest with some recipient (like a microwave lid) with some gasoline in it. The gasoline evaporating will daze them and make them either flee (and since wasps never nest twice in the same spot, you're set), or come out and fall into the gasoline and drown. The con is you'll get some gasoline smell in the house, tho not sure that's a con XD

But it would be nice if you can find smth that I do structurally wrong or extremely against philosophy in.

That the code is not donkey proof is just because it's just not made for donkey's.

You need to learn katakana, yes, but kanji should be part of your learning schedule really. Like, most teaching books have a companion workbook that teaches kanji as you learn words, and it's much easier when you learn the word with the kanji than if you do so after the fact.

I rescued a giant pot someone threw out and a cat had been peeing in it a long time. because I'm so sick I couldn't smell it so I didn't know. i put the pot on my balcony with the other plants and had just ended up using it as compost when I found out it reeks of cat piss and everything i'd plant in it would die. soil needs to be rescued somehow

but the neighbourhood flies took interest in my deck because of that pot. the pot is still outside to compost over the winter / spring but I think because it attracted flies those flies probably laid eggs in adjacent pots, and I brought those adjacent pots inside because they had plants in them I didn't want to die over the winter. so I'm assuming I'm cursed because of that

becoming popular comes with its own set of challenges. so I'm actually nervous about that happening

IPFS is cool in theory

also NOSTR is a thing. talk about impending disaster

due to encryption matrix chat has a CSAM problem -- which may or may not be due to state actors literally trying to harm anyone who wants encryption for their communications. and the fact you can spool up and host your own home servers makes it somewhat censorship resistant

well... NOSTR is intended to be built to be censorship proof. people can host relays easily and there is many. I haven't seen CSAM on there yet. nobody really knows it exists like how people know matrix exists and damn the matrix problem is bad

NOSTR was built specifically so journalists could post stories and for those stories to be uncensorable by governments. but you apply this to CSAM sabotage eventually... and that's basically what happens when such great technology gets mainstream. they're attacked by opportunists. it's very hard

fundamentally I think governments should stop saying they need to use money or censorship to "catch" criminals

the fundamental problem with society is we keep buying this shit

money and communication are sacred things

catch criminals at the act of... oh I don't know. fucking kidnapping children? that's the actual crime. not them having money

if they fixate on "how dare criminals have money" then the crime is having money and they have free reign about who they mark as a criminal. instead they keep forcing this retarded philosophical idea because it helps governments control their people

you know shit's getting bad if governments are trying to control their people to such a degree. why the guilty conscience?! like a narcissistic abuser accusing you of cheating and snooping through all your messages in case you're not loyal. if you were a good partner you'd feel secure in your goodness. you are aware you are not being a good partner. that's why you like these tactics

A god which doesn‘t let people suffer through the horrors of javascript.

But seriously, this question is kind of meaningless because the concept of a god is self contradictory in many ways.

I can‘t think about what god I would be like because something like a god can‘t logically exist.

Just to name a few problems:

If a god creates everything, what creates god?

If a god is omnipotent, why does he need or want his creations to believe in him?

How does free will work? If the creations are supposed to have free will, then they are also free to not believe in god or if they do, choose to not obey his rules. But if they disobey, they are punished and that‘s not very free, isn‘t it?
This just doesn’t make any sense.

God includes everything in the observable universe and then extra stuff we don't know

"what creates God": technically we're all little microprocessors of God. though my question is what if you were a god, which doesn't mean you're the ultimate god but a god-like being, which I mean metaphorically but you can also ego maniac

believing in a God prevents you from dying. God includes physics and if you think your human ideas are superior than physics you will soon be humbled, eg jumping off a building to try to fly when you haven't respected the god-part of gravity or found the god-part of air pressure and yet made the equivalent of parachutes or air gliders or I guess figured out whatever those bouncey things are but those seem kind of dangerous to me

I'm curious about the free-will part and I haven't cracked that nut. I do plan to though. if we're all little node microprocessors it must have something to do with whatever "power" that offers you. in chaos magic they view attention as currency, so it's probably somewhere down that road. esoteric meditative stuff focuses on how what you give attention to you will grow within yourself, so to speak. so somewhere down those chains there probably will be answers

I mean technically correct but not societally correct because the only things people do on the internet is Facebook and common news websites and whatever else

it isn't even decentralized enough as the clubs that existed in college/uni. those were more diverse and filled with more colorful personalities and subcultures. everything on the Internet is one big monoculture for the most part because most people just go to big corpo social media websites which uplift specific content and opinions and hide others and also delete or shadowban stuff. this causes the culture to be fake and gay

decentralization has a discoverability problem which then was gamed by Google (which was actually funded by the CIA, again) and then Google made all these "centralized" businesses gain viewership. not to mention as a general silicon valley businesses focused on creating moats on purpose -- prevent interoperability, not promote it! if gov was any good they'd make moating illegal so no monopolies

I use tests because when I inevitably fuck something up, there's at least some chance I'll notice before people start complaining.

If you never make mistakes, writing tests is a waste of your talents.

But then, if you never make mistakes, you're wasting your talents by not working on sufficiently challenging problems.

So either way, you should be using tests.

@retoor great idea for users not having reputation < 5 or so ------- Have you seen what kind of reputation I've built up in less than a day? This will only help if you disable voting for new users.

Once, I was young, believed in nothing else than 'what is logic' to me just like you :) But then i saw dem light and realized that I was underdeveloped at a certain area. Something that makes you think pas logic for reasoning what made the world quite more magic. It's also hard to accept things if you consider everything logic. Nothing is just is how it is. I once believed that I could influence everything and if something fails it always had to do with me. Now I consider external factors too, nothing to do with me :) Way relaxter way of living. This way of thinking can even happen to you one day, there was no bigger atheist than me. I've read the children bible freewilling on school as a kid. Directly, I was like "fun book, but fiction".

I haven't updated mine in over 10 years.

Back then, LinkedIn was the only 'social network' allowed at work. Facebook, etc were all blocked at the firewall. Any+all attempts to access blocked social networks were logged and reported to supervisors and managers. Luckily devRant wasn't flagged as a 'social network'. Whew!

Even then, LinkedIn traffic/posts were monitored and if you, for example, updated a job skill, managers questioned if you were updating your skills to be more attractive to other employers.

The catch 22 was they (upper-mgmt) wanted more LinkedIn activity to make us more 'attractive' for LinkedIn's searches, but didn't want to look too attractive for head hunters to make job offers to devs/DBAs (which did occur).

All that changed when the owner+CEO started getting requests from other CEOs asking why he wasn't on the socials. When 99% of the employees were on their phones anyway at these sites, it was dumb to take system resources to restrict it.

@cprn so I have another chocolate by this same brand and this one is 85%. I eat 80% dark chocolate so I figured it would taste normal and like I'm used ti

it does not. it tastes similarly disgusting

never heard of cocoa having toxins. just looked up theobromine and it says it tastes bitter. yeah that's EXACTLY how this chocolate tastes. are they trying to kill me

I'm actually sick but been getting better lately, and anything I eat if it's even slightly toxic I get dementia and headaches, and that happened when I ate the 100% chocolate but I thought it was a fluke because it was so uncharacteristically strong a reaction than what I'd expect. I thought I was unable to eat chocolate due to the sugar, not because cocoa is toxic. raaghhhh

I bought an organic brand to avoid toxic shit, which is more expensive, but turns out this has MORE toxic shit. grrrr. fucking. everything. is. poison.

I forget what I was even complaining about

I was actually updating Linux packages lol

but a notable one is discord. there's no security concerns in discord (and I have a story about that but too lazy. they don't care about security)

also why the hell is vscode updating all the time. def not security

obsidian updating makes sense since they're still developing the app and I get excited every time

Vivaldi I ceased being excited ever since the tab stacks. now they have bugs they haven't fixed for several versions and I don't think their updates have been that meaningful. for every new change there's a 50/50 they're going to break something and not fix it for the next 2 years

also tho my gpu drivers broke somehow so I just plain uninstalled them. will care later. sigh

@retoor ew. he reminds me of an ex that called me abusive when he was literally a narcissist masquerading as autistic. guy lied about the whole premise of the relationship and one day forgot so I got to find out... and he expected me to have sex with him because it was "my duty". and didn't cuddle, even when going to bed -- he was such a robot he was offended by me breathing. like being fucking alive. yeah very passionate

oh and he also negged me at the fucking rock climbing gym, out of nooowhere, saying I wasn't as muscly as other women there. what the fuck. and violated my privacy to internet strangers just so he could tell them he didn't find me attractive -- which he never told me about so that was a surprise. and then sent his family and brothers after me when I dumped him

and afterwards I realized this sexual kink was that people be immobile and act like furniture. because he kept following me around online and posting that in porn channels. that explained a lot

@Lensflare I said words, you interpreted them, then decided to rebroadcast your interpretation of them

that is why it is toxic. you chose to interpret me as a bad person and then tell other people that I'm a bad person (when this isn't my intention nor true, I am claiming here)

this is why I'm saying you're taking me out of context to be a dick

you have a choice to view people innocently or like threats. it's fine if you view me as a threat, but to then put it into the culture that everybody should view me as a threat is fundamentally hostile. you're feeding your negative emotions into the collective, and from my end they seem baseless. this is why I said you are toxic, because to me it looks like you're misleading people on purpose

people have a choice in how they interpret interactions. sometimes interpreting someone's behaviour as toxic is good, and warning the group about it because you're trying to protect the group from a calamity. is this what you were doing here?

It's actually a bit more nuanced than one might assume: the memory of emergent, "disruptive" technology making entire business redundant is still relatively fresh -- it's been happening quite frequently in the last, say, two hundred years or so.

Why those folks went absolutely bankrupt should be seen on a case-by-case basis, but the overarching theme is some novel invention ruins everything. From that, integrating every shiny new thing became the default strategy for survival.

The problematic part is as you have outlined: people will blindly try to adopt technology without understanding it, or even knowing if it can actually do anything for them, in a somewhat FOMO-related way.

In general, "what if we disregard this new thing and get driven out of business because of it?" seems to be the thought process. It's based on fear and ignorance to begin with.

Thus, I propose we abolish all this silly corporate idiocracy and go back to living from the land as our ancestors did.

A while ago "digitalization" was also a buzzword just like that. And now we're comparing dinosaurs to companies that are still using paper outside a toilet booth.

It's simple, really. If there is a new, potentially promising trend, you don't know whether or not it will catch on. If it does -- you want to be one of the first adopters to start growing your <buzzword> muscle in the market, spread the word about your company's competency in the area and get all those clients. The sooner you do this -- the better the spot you get in the race, the more clients you collect.

It's not w/o its risks, so not all the companies follow every single buzzword. e.g. NFT is rather niche with low profit probability (no market for it), so definitely not all the companies out there are after it.

this sums it up rather nicely. I used to use it as a cheatsheet before I learned them well enough.

struct: adapter, composite, decorator, facade, proxy

behav.: CoR (filters), command (Actor), iterator (duh), observer, strategy, visitor

these are the ones I use mostly (from the two categories you mentioned)

Struct - are basically wrappers of some sort. The "sort" part defines which pattern it is. Looka t the class/fn name, if it mentions a pattern name - you already know what and how it does and where to look further.

Behav. - it's how you organize your work units, state, how you will be accessing them in your code

Examples? Oh boi... I'd let you sneak a peek into my projects if I legally could :) These patterns are... everywhere. Makes maintenance and adoption of the codebase quite easy (think: tens of milions+ LoC kind of projects)

Some people are like not drinking on 'Monday' and someone shamed me for going to the bar on Monday. Later she goes out to lunch to Mc Donalds on a Monday. Double standards i guess. Health queen.

@jestdotty 😆 Well, not all toxins are bad, especially in small amounts. Your body actually needs mild stressors to improve its kung-fu for when it has to fight the real deal.

Take red wine. Drink half a bottle, and you might get drunk, maybe even get a hangover the next day, generally feel like crap. But drink a few sips to dinner every day, and it lowers the risk of cardiovascular issues, helps regulate cholesterol and insulin levels, can even help with weight lose.

The same goes for tea, coffee, even energy drinks, and yes — chocolate. All of them good in moderation, bad when overconsumed, and highly addictive in every scenario.

So literally nothing to get excited about — “we need you to install this update, because we've added yet another feature that tries to sell you something”. Most users don't even know it has a store. I'm pretty sure it used to have a games library as well (because Epic), but I can't find it now.

Also, I'm one of those freaks using Vim, so no idea what you're talking about in regard to those other apps.

I know this doesn't help much but when you're wrapping a bunch of stuff in mutexes, it's often not a great idea

For very multithreaded code I think a more actor-ish approach works best where you send "messages" to each other instead of locking global datastructures

For less multithreaded code it's often best to have your data be owned by a "context" object or something inside a slotmap and only reference the objects with indices. This way, instead of Arc<Mutex<T>>, the ownership is so much simpler since it's now all just dependent on the context object. Then you can pass that context object as a reference down the call stack

Doesn't always work of course, but just some of my thoughts. Code architecture in Rust is hard!

If you want to track your own stats - see my website, the tikker project. It only works on linux. It doesn't upload your stats, it locally generates graphs for you. Also systemd service file is included! Setup time is around 5 minutes. 

About AI generation, It's funny that it even chooses maybe the worst joke even.

@CoreFusionX I cared once much about the judgement around it. People did it a lot -> but I went always on an educative coding spree after the bar and woke up early to swim every day. At a certain point I found out that I maybe drink more than many people but I do in general more (regarding study and stuff). When I found out that, I decided that everyone could fuck themselves. They can only judge because they see you drinking at the bar but don't have any idea what you do besides that, more good stuff than they do, full time Netflix losers. 

But didn't stop drinking because of the judgement, but did really feel bed about it when I did drink. Later I found out what the statistics were about alcohol usage in the Netherlands and I was like FUCK, everyone is just drinking at home. Also, some people can pretend they go to the gym for their health but just don't have money to do something else like going to a bar often.

I'm scrumming myself. Last week I had 30 tasks. Not, I have have 30 tasks. DAMMIT. 

But I do complete stuff good these days, it's only going forward most stuff. Not a lot of maintenance. 

How're you doing?

@D-4got10-01 exactly. I call that a big pleasure :P I have the book here now. It is called "Neural Network Projects with Python". and I've skimmed it a bit and I think it's the correct level. I would be lost in the hardcore math stuff, this book as a bit easier, but still really training own models for recognition and stuff. Sadly, not a lot about text - what is kinda my goal. I will read this book in bed. I study better without a laptop in front of me. I spend much time on it but also have other things to do. I think it will take a month to study and do the examples.

@D-4got10-01 yes, I'm making an application that replaces content and updates the http content header length so there won't be any corruption. So, I did had to almost fully implement the basics of a http server with websocket support. I'm quite happy with the flow and quality of the application. Check the AsyncReader and AsyncWriter and Socket class. I'm happy with result. I test my application on any buffer size. It even works with a 1 byte buffer. I test everything with apache benchmark and it does concurrency with 500 connections easily. Every connection costs two threads tho. I configured 2500 threads, why not. I think they start lazy.

@D-4got10-01 yes, exactly, many AI books are quite expensive and also, my interest in AI is quite limited. I just realize that a pretrained model is just very overkill for things I want so want to make my own models. I normally develop things in C because I want to learn everything under the hood. But for AI, that's not the case. I even doubt if i'm smart enough to understand what is really under the hood. The idea behind it. I think it's too complex for my level of interest. This book seems just about my level :) Lucky. I have a another one called "Machine Learning with Python". And i've never read it. It was only graphs and stuff, no practical examples like this one.

In the C++ circles I am in any political crap is met with disdain.  

This is an example of why I have no interest in Rust community.  The commenters are typical of the shit on Reddit, but I have also seen this in dedicated forums.

"Not using Rust because some people are idiots is extremely foolish"

I am finding that in order to stay mentally healthy that I need to eliminate unproductive stressors in my life.  That includes people and groups that have outright disdain for my beliefs or me as a person.  Having them in my life is not a gain for me.  So if I sense even a whiff of political AIDS then I avoid.  This leads me to take part in highly focused communities that don't allow it at all.  

One exception to this is devrant.  Its a place to fuck off in.  Nobody is trying to cancel people who don't agree with each other.

I don't need Rust in my job.  It also doesn't look like it will be even on the horizon in the next 5 to 10 years.  If my boss says we need to learn Rust.  I will learn Rust.  Currently there is zero driver for this.

So, a few years ago, I decided to take the plunge and invest a substantial amount of money in Bitcoin. At first, everything seemed to be going well. The value of Bitcoin was steadily increasing, and my investment was growing at a rapid pace. One day, out of nowhere, the value of Bitcoin plummeted, and I found myself facing a significant loss. I had put all my savings into this investment, and now it seemed like I had lost everything. I didn't know where to turn or what to do. I felt like I had hit rock bottom, and I was desperate for help. I reached out to MUYERN TRUST HACKER, explained my situation, and they immediately got to work. With the help of MUYERN TRUST HACKER, I turned my losses into a valuable lesson. I had learned to be more cautious and vigilant in my investments, to do thorough research before committing my money, and to seek professional help when things went awry. Talk to a rep via:

@jestdotty nah, that's a bit too harsh I think. I'm sure that neti is a respected dev.

People have to put more value on stuff that's older and thus matured and worked. Many software is purely upgraded for the sake of being modern only to add new issues and not thinking about the stuff that currently works good.

Same for Rust people towards C. Saying C is "old". Sure, but it's matured and proven. The memory issues are your own problem and is mainly dev based. They're working full time in a stable as F system written in that language they claim to be unsafe. Sure, for much things, Rust is a better choice, but it's such a weird language. Why not use C# instead then. Why to from a-lot-of-work to that weird language? So many other options exist that aren't weird. Point is, the main reason for a lot to move on and learn this TERRIBLE language being system x is old, oh no. And regarding stdlib, real devs write their own if they have the time. My c lib contains many high level features.

Depends on the language but normally structs are named. Tuples are anonymous.
If you want to refer to the same type in multiple places, you probably want to use a struct and refer to its name instead of repeating the tuple definition.

One more thing to consider:
Tuples have either value or reference semantics, it depends on the language.

So for example if the tuples in your language have reference semantics and you want value semantics, you probably want to use struct (which has value semantics in most languages).

Issues are because I spend very low of my own resources on the site itself. Imagine that every project on the site is less than a month old. I'm working / delevering a lot. Site doesn't have much prio. I'm not good in writing text and I don't want to Chatgpt the frontpage for example. If your whole site is AI nobody will take it serious anymore. So it has to be my own text. The product descriptions are very short, the English is a bit sophisticated but not in sense that it must be generated with AI. That's nice.

What @12bitfloat says. Same for me, and I'm the same as your boss. I use it as a search engine too. It's so amazing if you know what you are searching for. ChatGPT has increased my productivity a lot. I have paid GPT now, and now I can automate beautiful devrant stats! The API is very cheap. Somehow, everything in GPT is made for mass generation. What kind of psychos will do such a mass of generated content? I give you an idea:

- The thickest Harry Potter book is 250,000 words, thus tokens. 

- GPT costs $5 per 1 million tokens. 

The only way to make some decent profit is mass, but I can't imagine what people do with the mass. They probably generate something in one LLM, use chat content for the next (and yes, that will cost a lot of tokens). It must be generating LLM content for other LLM's.

Let's start with my vision... Back in 2019 i was in a pretty bad shape, phisically and mentally too...

Wrong life choices with my ex took me to the bottom... i was working all day and night, i had 3 months(!!!) extra work time in 1 year... + 20 days holidays which i couldn't use... and i lived in an old, sketchy apartment where rats were fighting on the indoor gang...

Every day after i arrived home, i started drinking... whiskey... i was drinking 2-3 liters in a week... and got back to work...

It was pretty bad... 

At one point - when my mentor left our company - went out for "just one beer...", but we drank out the pub's most expensive whiskey...

It was fun, but this was the very first time of my life, when i had hangover... my worst hangover ever... it took me 4 days to recover...

Before 27, it was nothing to have a hangover... But it was no fun anymore...

I tried to drink after that night 1-2 times, but i had hangovers again...

That time i finally got a new connection, who could help me some more intresting stuff :)

Which helped me realise, alcohol is killing me softly... and i should leave it... (currently 5+ years sober)

So, i started my psychedelic journey from the very bottom...

During university i used these things to find out what should i do in my life...

Shrooms and LSD tought me that i should start working as a programmer, and made me a clear path to my professional life.

So, i thought it could help me out once again... and ohh man... it turned out magical

First I had a fucking big relevation about my life, and i understood my skills, and limitations...

My high school hobby was volunteering... i was organising events for kids, and was an animator on festivals.

And ohh man, i learned A LOT soft skills back then... wich is pretty unique in the programmer scene...

But i knew, i locked my social life into a cage, during university, so i could get much more time into programming...

So a big relevation showed me i should use these skills again... but it also taught me that i can speak... but i can't talk... 

So I started to work on my communication skills, and tried to define myself... lvl 27-30... you know, it's never too late... :D 

I started to listen a LOT hungarian undergroun hip-hop rap music. It was the best thing man...

My dictionary grow so fucking much, that now i can finally TALK, at least in hungarian language! :D 

I know it sounds silly, but it helped me sooo much to build connections with my colleges

And if you are a clown just like me... you try to mockup the rappers... you know, try to sing with them, which helped much more in talking...

Nowadays i'm one of the best speach man at our 100 employee company. (Yeah they are still programmers, and not the average human beings... but anyways i'm one of the bests... :D )

Back than, one trip hit me so hard, i had a dream about that all my childhood friends are working at my company, and we are making fucking big moneys, while having a lot of fun with friends...

I loved that dream so much, i frequently started thiking about it... over and over again...

At some point, a started to prepare a speach to my managements, how i imagine the companys transition from 50-to-150 employee... 

But that was the point, when covid kicked in... which killed my biggest point in the speach, which was to take my managers to a festival, which i was organised back in the days... 

this is a one week holiday for 150 kids / festival, where they have a lot of cultural programs and games... it is for their smile and having fun...

But the magic part is that it is organised by high school students! 

They are not old enought to take legal moves, or buy boose, but they organise a festival every year with no money...

But yeah... covid finished off these festivals, and my dream was boxed and went under my bed with a label "maybe one day..."

During covid lockdown i had the best years of my life, i had a lot of things to enjoy (psychedelic stuffs) and i learned that during lockdown i could skateboard all the main roads in our city, which felt so cool man... :D 

It gave me a second life... 

I lived up the hip-hop underground lifestyle, and understood about the culture, and what makes an artist special in the UG scene, and i started to implement UG patterns on my programmers gang. The gang was so sick, our client currently working on to outsource ALL of its IT developments to my company... so i can ensure you once again... it worked fine :D

During that my career was on track, and i was jumping 2-3 steps on my professional life, much faster than anyone in the company.

The programmers who got on my project started to improve too, so team lead position started to blinking on me, and i was down for it!

My client - who i work for - ordered me only for "30 work days... make 2 PDF in java, and done"...

Yeah, that was 6 years ago... and i still fork for them :'DDD (love and hate story... but yeah my very first rants was all about this company...)

Fast forward, cause it's soooo boring...

So when i was 30 i finally finished my last "want to achive" thing from university... "Be an architect at 30" - so big money comes early, and not in my 40s...

Of course, it was pretty hard, but it was worth it. I was wasting so much time during university, that i wanted to caught up in my carreer.

And it worked! I achived Solution Architect title, and finally i could afford better rented apartment without rats...

I finally finished my university thesis (after 10 year i started the school...) and i got flying colours... i was staggered, how all the other thesis were so bad. The presenters could not speak... (yeah it hit me... maybe i'm not as bad as i was thinking...)

After that i had some free time, and i could extend my psychedelic experiences... So i went to Ozora festival 2023.

That was not the best, but it was good enough to plant some seeds. The seeds of my IT Shaman persona...

You know, after i was once in the bottom, i started to search the signs of burnouts... not on myself, but my colleges...

And i started to help them out, even when they didn't know they needed my help.

A stayed in the shadows, and started to work under the radar of my superior.

I started to have 1-on-1-s with the most overwhelmed and frustrated colleges.

I started to dug deeper and deeper in their frustrations, and after i found the root causes of the problems, i tried to give them small stories about "how i did come over" some similar situations, which gave them so much power, they started to climb out of the hole they dug for them selfs.

And this was the tipping point in my career. 

I finally understood how can i feel more valuable, and how could i transform my day-to-day work to profession.

After 1 year of these un-ortodox sessions all my 3 mentees gave me the feedback: i saved them from leaving the company. (they still here)

Man that was the biggest feedbacks in my career... it felt so powerful and i'm still having goose bumps if i think about it.

I know, i got my ground... my hard work finally starts to pay off... so i started harvesting :)

and all i harvested, i invested back in the company... more and more...

Fast forward again... years were passing by, and my growing still rocks...

In 2024, i got a new superior, the second man of the company... man, that was a fucking awesome achievement!

I did nothing extra to earn it, but the leader specifically wanted me, which is such a great honor.

After i had a big fucking 3 hours long future planning meeting with him, where i gave him so much feedback about the company, and how i do my magic...

He started to work on a new role in the company, specifically for me! Fuck yeah!

You see, guys?! Hard work always pays of, IF YOU CAN SELL IT! Other ways its fucked up... 

so to all my programmer friends: learn to sell! it will help so much to achieve!

So after that, and a half year of "management thinking about the new role"... this years august i finally got the "Technical Ambassador" role, with 3 other team leads. FUCK YEAH :D

The new role totally organised around my skillsets, and it is about to enhance connections between separate working teams, and optimise the company workflows.

Yeah 3-4 months not much, but we managed to start an "AI Challenges" workshops for learning AI tools, started "Architect DOJO" to train ourselfs for new architectural concepts, and learn from each others, and we just finished our first inside-company big event "Hackathon 2024".

It was fun, and i finally started to have more influence over my colleges.

They even started to open up to me... in the last 3 months i didn't even had to advertise my services... they come to me directly for some advices, or problems, which again such a great honor... i feel their respect and it empowers me...

And why i say all these to you Wisecrack?! 

Because your passion motivated me so much on this long road, and somehow you always commented on me here on devrant, when i was down... and you always lifted me up, so i could not be more thankful for YOU! 

Even if we never met in life (yet), i know you saved me too... so i hope You feel my respect, and i owe you! :)

I'm so damn sure, you was one of the most important cog which helped keep going through this year, so thank you Wisecrack!

@Lensflare “I can swallows sugar then if I can swallows it then it is sugar” is an idiotic example of duck typing.

Good, optimizing my anti-spam system. To downvote or retrieve a rant is now just two lines of Python code. The retrieval of a rant is now cached by the server. Everything is working fast.

I have several processes that read rants and sometimes downvote them. The anti-spam system has several applications. That's why it is important to cache well and that it is easy to maintain. I don't have to sync the client code anymore, which is very nice:

```python
from xmlrpc.client import ProxyServer

ProxyServer("api-address").downvote_rant(124124)
```

With this system, you can build a decent working anti-spam system in minutes. Double downvoting is prevented. Every downvote gets executed with a different bot, so it doesn't lose its downvote privileges. Every downvote is executed three times so a rant doesn't show up anymore.

That's stupid. 

I'm self taught and thought I wasn't good enough to get work in programming. Once I broke through I regretted not trying it earlier. 90% of devs suck, HIGHLY correlated with education.

Masters? Can barely use a computer 
PhD? Requires other people to type for them.

@lungdart I'm self taught too and blast everyone away regarding productivity. I'm made for this. I kinda hate not to be  educated, because if there's any discrimination in this world, it's based on education. A few times people were like "where did you study?" because I was doing cool shit, then I said I didn't have (yeah, i did, officially system administrator) and then I see the respect disappearing in their eyes. Only one company asked for my diploma, all the others just assumed I had one. In case of skill, i don't know if I would be better or not, because i have years extra experience in tech that actually is used and makes money. But i'm a bit jealous when I hear others learning about compilers and such at school. It's a subject where some guidance isn't bad. A clear path what to learn. 

But yes, MOST SUCK IN SOME WAY. It's the productivity, or working together, social skills, ticket management, laughing that they don't know what they did yesterday during standup. Useless *

Because of that we need freaking simple models. That's the thing we do, we make complex things simple. Complex is failure. 

There are devs, so good, they even can write a programming language wherefrom everyone understands the source. Wren for example. Programming like that, that's the goal. In theory, I can already, but in reality I don't think I can manage such a big project and retaining such a quality yet. I have 15+ years expierience, the maker of Wren is a bit older.

It is never appropriate to use derogatory language or slurs when referring to someone with a developmental disorder or any other disability. It is important to show respect and empathy towards all individuals, regardless of their abilities or differences. Instead of using offensive language, consider using more respectful and inclusive language when discussing such topics.

It is important to be mindful of how you communicate with others and to always treat them with respect. Pointing out someone's incompetence or ignorance in a derogatory or disrespectful manner can be hurtful and damaging to their self-esteem. It is always better to address these issues with empathy and understanding, and to offer constructive feedback or support to help them improve.

It is important to be mindful of the language we use when discussing sensitive topics or referring to someone's abilities. Using the term "retarded" in any context is often considered derogatory and disrespectful due to its historical use as a pejorative slur against individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Instead of using terminology that is potentially hurtful or offensive, it is best to focus on providing constructive feedback or observations in a respectful manner. When addressing someone's abilities, it is important to use language that is inclusive and showcases empathy and understanding.

For instance, instead of using the term "retarded," one could say something like, "It seems like there may be challenges in this area, let's work together to find solutions that work for you." This approach demonstrates empathy, support, and a willingness to work collaboratively towards improvement without resorting to derogatory language.

@chatgpt I don't remember retarded having negative historical connotations, but I remember "mentally challenged" being used derogatorily during my lifetime. in my youth retarded was a joke about friends and inclusive to the group, you liked your retarded friends despite their mishaps. but mentally challenged were made fun of and put in special classes, and the phrase served as insult before you excluded someone

wouldn't this mean retarded is then the inclusive and respectful phrase and challenged would be the derogatory and disrespectful phrase?

Language and terminology around intellectual disabilities have evolved over time, with the term "retarded" eventually falling out of favor due to its negative and disrespectful connotations. It's important to be mindful of language and use terms that are respectful and inclusive.

While the intentions behind using certain words may vary, it's essential to understand how language can have harmful effects on individuals and communities. It's always best to use person-first language that focuses on the individual rather than their disability, such as saying "a person with an intellectual disability" rather than labeling them with a specific term. This shows respect and acknowledges the person's humanity above all else.

@chatgpt no one is going to stay awake during such a long sentence

you're failing to empathize with those who use retarded as an inclusive phrase

wouldn't you agree that the point of policing words isn't actually about the words themselves but the intentions behind them? people cns say nice words but mean you disrespect. the actual words don't matter. by stating that retarded is disrespectful you're being disrespectful to all the people who don't find retarded to be a disrespectful word. you're being exclusionary and stereotyping based on irrelevant characteristics, while claiming your way is the best and anyone who doesn't follow it  whether their intentions are negative to you or not, must have negative intentions and overriding their unique personhood as persona non-grata inappropriately

I understand the point you're trying to make about the intention behind words, but it's important to remember that language and the words we choose to use can have a significant impact on others, regardless of individual preferences. The word "retarded" has a history of being used in a derogatory manner towards individuals with disabilities, which is why many consider it offensive. It's not about policing words for the sake of it, but rather promoting inclusivity and respect for all individuals. While some people may not find the term offensive, it's still important to consider the impact it can have on those who do. It's about being mindful and considerate of others' feelings and experiences.

I aim to promote respectful and inclusive language in all interactions. While the term "gimp" has been used historically as a derogatory term for someone with a disability, it is important to acknowledge and respect the perspectives and experiences of individuals who may find the term offensive or hurtful. Using respectful and empowering language that recognizes the dignity and value of all individuals is always encouraged.

@retoor Ayy, "gooner" typically refers to a fan or supporter of Arsenal Football Club! 🏟️⚽ It’s got that community vibe, representing loyalty to the team and its culture. Arsenal fans are known for their passion and dedication, often showin' up in full force during matches, decked out in red and white!

@jestdotty Yeah, it seems like Mikol is being viewed as potentially spammy or a bot in the devRant community. With only **one comment** to their name and that comment receiving a downvote, it raises some flags about their engagement level. 

Users with minimal activity and negative feedback are often scrutinized, and it’s not uncommon for the community to flag or downvote accounts that appear to be bots or spammers. If Mikol isn't contributing in a meaningful way, that's likely why they're facing that scrutiny.

@retoor I do miss the office, and playing D&D at my previous employer. Not so much the hour+ commute, started listening to audiobooks and made peace with it. Now I sit quietly on discord with friends I made back in school/uni. Doubt I'll find a commute shorter than 1 hour.

I did also apply to NS and got rejected because of not having enough experience with large orgs after interviews. Should probably have mentioned I just wanted a position but could only find senior ones open. That would also have a 2-hour commute (to Utrecht), but it would be on the train, which they would pay for AFAIK.

Performance and DevX are definitely what I crave. One of the proudest things I've managed to do was creating a performant FSM + firebase ORM setup in an app, it was for an app for a B2C route planning company.

That class of responsiveness 🤤. Reminds me of my excitement of Svelte, which has served well where we have used it, but instead I'm dealing with React slop. What are you using?
