Demolishun said Sounds like you need a light on your bike. Was that dead too?
When I was a kid we had literal generators we attached to the wheel to power lights on our bikes. With modern tech this should be a lot more efficient now. The same generator now would power LED lights a lot better than back then.,@retoor doh, lol. I read a couple of times and missed that.,@retoor I like pretending to be a banker and fund both sides of the wars.,@Ranchonyx I thought it was NKSN this month? No Knee Slap November.,Okay, I learned something:,.,So my aunt, when I was a kid, was trying to grow mold on her bread in her kitchen. It was rye IIRC. I learned later that people can grow LSD on rye bread. She died really young. I have to wonder if this is why. My mom was well grounded. My aunt, who is my mom's twin, was not. She had a bad marriage and just seemed kinda messed up after that. Sometimes when I hear about bread I think about my aunt trying to grow LSD.,I love that this is an option.,@retoor I don't think she died from that. It was just the whole weirdness and not taking care of herself. I think the LSD stuff was just the stuff I noticed as a kid. It took my mom another 40 years to die after that.,@antigermgerm lol, I mean you are the highest rage quit candidate at the moment. ;-),Scammers are such pieces of shits. Strategic nukes are a possible solution. I don't know enough to help. I hope you fucking nail the bastards.,I did get this shit working today. But I am finding that the standard for modbus is not followed, or my library I am using for communication is hiding implementation details. The data in a register (16 bits) is supposed to be big endian. What I am getting is little endian. I looked through the source code and I can't see anywhere where they interpret the byte order at all. Perhaps it is hidden somewhere I cannot find it. I also tested with a perl library and it is returning little endian words. I am trying to create a generic interface so I added a byte endianess parameter in case we end up with devices that do it differently. Everything I am reading is saying manufacturers will just do it how they want anyway. Expecting everyone to just fix it in software.,I think it is more than that. There are 15 million missing voters from this last election. That could explain where they went.,@Grumm the origin, of what we know about, was aboriginals over 50K years ago in the Americas. The Asians came in and wiped all of them out like 7K years ago. So native Americans were not original. Possibly even the aboriginals were not original. Before that was probably some aliens on vacation. Then this place, the Earth, became a shit hole. Then they started probing the shit outta us!,@jestdotty I saw somewhere that only 3% of people who died that year died OF covid. The rest died WITH covid, but died of other comorbidities. Also, flu disappeared from the statistics that year. Hospitals got major kickbacks. Especially for ventilator use.
It was a major numbers game to defraud the public.,,@jestdotty people were on their death bed. People hid ivermectin inside of things to sneak them into the hospital. The people who got it usually recovered within 24 to 48 hours. What kind of fucked up world requires people to sneak life saving remedies into a fucking hospital?,@jestdotty I would like to apologize on behalf of the USA to Canada. Apparently a whole segment of mentally ill people are now planning on going to Canada.

He was instrumental in creating and distributing the Brucellosis for brazil. There was an additive to the transport agent that caused sterility in women. This made 50% of the child bearing aged women in Brazil sterile. The Catholic church caught them doing it again in Africa. The media just made fun of the church. Guess who made a shit ton of money off of vaccines during the pandemic? Bill Gates.
People think he is evil for his company Microsoft. This dude is on a completely different level of evil.,@Tounai we have elected officials in the USA working for the drug cartels.

Pizza, but 1.5 inches thick.,@retoor I don't use tor much, but those are sites that are not even listed in domain registries I think. Or stuff that was blacklisted from search engines.

They are intended to be descriptions and cannot be used in the process at all.,@jestdotty we are supposed to be approaching a cooling cycle in next 50 years I had heard. My suspicion is get everyone off fossil fuels. So when cooling occurs everyone freezes. Windmills and solar panels won't work or be enough. I can't imagine ever dropping nuclear though.,@jestdotty I am not talking about human activity. I am talking about a sun cycle.,So I was scraping car this morning. My physical exertion was standing on my toes. Phone was in the same place as usual. Started stinging in my pocket. My movement was completely different from walking. So I got in the car and put the phone in front of my wallet (was behind against leg). Drove to work. Felt fine. Then went back to car and it started stinging again. Phone was not against leg. Same spot on leg.
Maybe i need to change pockets to let leg feel better. Didn't hurt at all last night.,@Lensflare so I saw this guy do a talk around 2008.

Is this why I avoid putting variables on same line? Maybe.,@Lensflare I dunno, maybe I just don't care. I don't put multiple variables on a line.,@Lensflare one thing I found about C++. There is so much shit you don't know until you have a wtf moment. This causes you to dig into the language to search for the reason. When I found that there is no order for compilation units to execute constructors in any specific order I was kind of shocked. (this is code that executes before main) But I had to dig into cppreference to find that detail. Even after I explained this to people I work with they just tried blaming the OS itself. It has nothing to do with the OS at all. lol,@Lensflare in before ostream:
"how is it possible that I knew about this thing in C++ and you didn‘t?"
Something, something German master race... ;-),So my throw away google account is warning me I might lose my throw away google account if I don't give them a phone number. lol
Hint: all my google accounts are throw away to be honest.,@CoreFusionX different compilation units. For simplicity: files like .cpp. Have no defined order in which they run. Sure within the unit it is defined. But the order in which each unit is run is not and can change depending upon the compiler and possibly even compiler settings.
We ran into this issue because we had one file defining an array of structs. Different compilation units would modify this struct at defined indexes. This is fine, but there was a constructor that zeroed out the array in one unit. This caused the structure to be wiped out if another compilation unit updated the array before the constructor ran.
I also found that globals are initialized by the OS. So it was unnecessary to have the constructor zero out the array. The solution was to remove the constructor that zeroed the array in one of the compilation units.
To me the code smells really bad to begin with. I have not convinced anyone to address this issue yet.,@CoreFusionX
file1.cpp:
struct GlobalStruct1 {
int stuff[10];
GlobalStruct1(){
// init stuff to zero here
}
} gloablstruct1;
file2.cpp:
extern GlobalStruct1 globalstruct1;
// update an entry in struct in some global classes constructor
The order in which these are run in the different units is not guaranteed.,@retoor found it!,MS - Massive Schlong

I put the whole game on my hard drive for the games I played a lot. I just boot and select without disk. This allowed me to mod Morrowind to have better textures/models for people. No more polygon people. That xbox still works and is a better experience than the newest xbox IMO.,@retoor it is hollow. We dropped a nuke on it a while back. It rang like a bell for 3 days. They also dropped some large payloads on there. It would ring for a few hours after.
I heard a story NASA did the calcs on size of moon versus it gravity pull. The calcs indicated hollow, at least partially.
Another fucked up thing about the moon. Is as you dig the rock seems to get younger. Also full of h3 and I think titanium on the surface. The h3 is useful for fuel. The dust can be baked to make bricks too. So a lot of building material is there for building a station.
If you want to go down a really interesting trip. Go look at expanding earth theory. It is fascinating. According to that theory the moon (and every other object in the universe) expands at a rate according to their mass. This could partially explain why moon is hollow, maybe.,@antigermgerm bigger trolling audience.,"I just want things to do on my phone that are intellectually going to be stimulating"

Planes fly over the North Pole all the time. There is a no fly zone in the South Pole. And a weird agreement by all nations to honor that. Since when are nations in agreement with anything? If this claim is credible it tells me its a self preservation thing.,@retoor so people have flown in no fly zone before. The only weirdness was compass would act weird. Then when they landed there was suits from DC that chewed them out for flying there. Even for saving someones life. How did the suits get there so fast?
Antarctica is a crazy place for sure. Wild stories coming out of there. Who knows what is true? I suppose there could be weirdness in North Pole too, but seems to me more likely on South Pole.,@retoor the wild thing about the internet is all sorts of wild stories came out on the web 20 years ago or more.

There always seems to be something fucky going on.
For instance when the I want to paste into the Files file manager I cannot have the list view if there is a lot of files. I have to switch to Grid view. There is no space to right click and paste. Which is annoying and frustrating. There is probably a keyboard shortcut I need to learn for this.

The total weight exceeds the weight limit of the bag. The total volume also exceeds the volume of the bag.
Describe a method for optimal choice of items to maximize the number of items.
Now assign a value to the items. Describe a method for optimal choice of item value in the bag.
At some point they will realize they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. You won't even have to say it.,@CaptainRant 🫡 sorry bro,@retoor this reminds me of ID software releasing their early games as open source. Also reminds me of the Descent devs releasing their code too. They said they want people to see that production code isn't necessarily the best quality code. Which is a really interesting position to take.,@lorentz I remember going to see a electric car conversion company in the 90s. They were experimenting with super fast charging of lead acid batteries. Like 600 volts or something crazy. They said the limiting factor was the plastic case. It kept melting. Not sure on longevity of the battery either. They had the battery behind ballistic plastic to they could watch.,1. Program

She will need to learn more geometry too. I think seeing the axis and points in action will help with her math.,@Hazarth so people pretty high up in politics in the USA were using a service that allowed posts to exist for 24 hours (or some time) before deleted. They were thinking they were posting shit anonymously and passing secret messages to other people that nobody was smart enough to figure it out. Pretty sure the NSA was logging all this shit knew what they were posting. The stuff they were posting was illegal as hell. So imagine a manager using a service like that thinking they are all sly and the internet will not remember. lol,@retoor

He doesn't work here anymore though.,@NoMad some dude be like:,@Tounai I tried looking up HCL, but don't know what you mean by it. What does it stand for?,So I look at r/cpp quite often.

There was also a huge uptick of people trying to cancel other people on the platform. They would usually see like 40K issues a year. They were seeing 120K issues in a week when it happened. It has been carnage over there since the migration from what I hear. A logistical nightmare.,@12bitfloat it is because a LOT of anime is pervee as hell. I like anime, but I see pervee shit in SAO. I was watching some other anime with my 11 year old. It was age gated at TV-11 or something. At one point a girl started grabbing another girls breasts. Both were well under the age of 18 in the anime. It was MA content targeted at kids. This was on Hulu. My daughter said: "This makes me uncomfortable." I said: Yeah, me too." So we turned it off. Now I gotta preview anything by reading reviews and stuff.
I don't know what is actually on BlueSky, but I really don't want to know. Probably some asshole hacking the network.,@retoor I used to really respect Schwarzenegger. Then during pandemic he said: "Screw your freedoms." Realized how much of a piece of shit he was. If stuff comes out about him I will not be surprised.
On the other hand Mel Gibson has come out and said Hollywood is full of pedos. He stayed away from the party culture and the influence it brings.,@12bitfloat somewhat agree, but I think there needs to be more provision keeping it away from young kids.,@12bitfloat I think Florida just passed something banning kids under 13 being on social networks.

I am your dad.",I skimmed the article, but don't see the reference.,A lot of tech "influencers" are even more shallow on understanding of the subjects than chatgpt.,@Lensflare controlling emotions is a skill.

And it won't run off and do stupid shit because of a corner case.,@retoor oh fuck, retoor went postal...,@jestdotty what is funny is all the newbies who started with Skyrim get all pissy if you mention the seedier side of TES. Dagger Fall had Azura hanging her tits out. Which is hilarious when the Skybabies start telling the older crowd to stop being gooners. So a past time of mine is to upvote posts on r/Skyrim that trigger the Skybabies.,Go watch scambaiter on youtube. They are making millions. He did an analysis of one scammer cell and it was bringing in 2 million per year.
I talked to a guy I worked with. He saw a figure that said scamming and fraud cost the USA over 2 Trillion last year. He actually ran into an older dude in his 70s that thought he was gonna get bad consequences if he didn't send people money. He showed him the email and it was just a regular scam email.
Maybe they would make more, but you have to have a certain amount of assertiveness and nastiness to close to the "sale".,lol, lets do amoral things to promote our version of morality. Lets ignore self ownership, liberty, and all ethics. So we can instill "better" ethics on a person. We can also violate international law as well. What a piece of shit.

I was okay with supporting people in their fear by wearing a mask (I didn't understand what was happening), but when I learned that masks can cause bacterial pneumonia in healthy people. I was pissed. I started getting really militant about telling people to fuck off. I read that the 1920s pandemic a huge percentage died because of masks.
I used to think the pandemic was real. Then I saw the real stats. Only 3% of the people who were marked with covid actually died FROM covid. 97% were only marked WITH covid because of fraudulent testing. So 97% of the pandemic was fraud. My conclusion: the plandemic was made for the vaccine. Not the other way around.
Another interesting thing. People were making posters in 1920s saying the vaccines were dangerous. Wild.,@retoor so Japan rejected any more vaccines after they found out it was loaded with heavy metals and foreign objects. They just flat out said no more. Then later that PM who made that decision was SHOT by a homemade gun by a "lone gunman" and died. He was retired at this point.
Pretty sure CIA recruited the kid that shot him and taught him how to make a gun at home. It sounds like CIA narrative. I hope to God that the fucks who orchestrated this shit get put to death for treason. We cannot keep existing in a world where this is okay.,@retoor yes, fear created by the media paid for by big pharma and other interests.

It has crashed once in about 100 hours of play.,@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.,@retoor yeah, I play around with SKSE plugins which end up being DLLs.

I am interested in seeing where it goes in the future, but I will do this from a distance. My main concern is if I ever need to learn it for a job. Right now that is looking very unlikely.
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.
https://reddit.com/r/rust/...
I see this in other tech projects as well. If someone speaks out against certain political activists then they get cancelled.,@12bitfloat could be, but IIRC I saw political activism on the Rust site in the blogs. It only gets worse on Reddit. Conversely, on r/cpp political crap is not welcomed at all.,@12bitfloat
"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.

It is never reciprocated.,@12bitfloat I think in part you are right. I probably shouldn't judge Rust community based on Reddit. I did look at the official Rust forums and it looks like a well run tech community.

I always wait to see reviews and let games mature a few years. I am so glad I waited on this game. It turns out later on, a year after release, they added microtransactions. Then they made things like health potions shit you have to buy in game using these transactions. I don't care if they do this shit for skins, but what in the hell are they thinking? I am now of the school of thought to stay away from any game with any microtransactions. I also am to the point I don't want to play any online game unless I run the server. The gaming industry is dogshit with these thieving companies now.,@retoor So I have used boost.asio before. I am fine with it being a black box. It did what I wanted in the past and was simple to use, even with threading. I want to use it again and the hard part has been getting libraries installed. I expect the boost.asio usage to be easy. I dunno. Someone smarter than me wrote it. I don't want to write a json parser or networking code. I want an app that does a thing.,Oh, I noticed on every search, the AI response was so wrong it was pathetic. Not once did it lead to a solution. It said things existed that simply did not.,During holidays I work on MY SHIT!,It could be perception, but the searches seem a lot faster this way.,Why would any company base their tools on some other system besides theirs? Are you expecting a media creation tool that runs on Linux? I think any ISO online is going to be out of date anyway. It seems to me that using your own operating system to bootstrap another system is just fine. What urks me about Linux is that it is easier to use windows to build a boot usb to install Linux. Maybe this has gotten better, but I have boot media builder for windows that works very well building media for most usb boot drives. I ran into a lot of issues with linux based solutions.,Cool beans,A fundamental change to how humans interact on a global scale.,This holds around 7 to 8 cups. This is to start the day.

This also explains why there are no naked apes in my mind.,Don't worry. If a library from boost gets included in std it will be broken for decades. Gotta protect that abi.,@BordedDev I think the ABI from maybe even further back than XP is compatible with ABI of now on Windows. Not sure though. Some of this is vendor driven. I dunno. I get there is a compatibility issue there, but I haven't got a good mental model for it.,@BordedDev I don't get why its such an issue. I think for the most part you don't share C++ objects across interfaces like in DLLs and SOs. But maybe I just don't know and am talking out my ass. I had read that its safest to only share really simple objects across interfaces.,@BordedDev like if you transfer a vector across a dll interface. The internal representation can't change. That is what I was thinking.,@retoor certain kinds of cat...,@lorentz I dunno.

I took all the screws out and couldn't move it at all. So I was going to have the shop who sold it to me fix it.,@jestdotty if this were a desktop it wouldn't be much of an issue. I am now addicted to being able to carry my computer with me. I also like that laptops have integrated UPS system (battery).

So I gorilla glued it.,@antigermgerm yeah, when I was there we saw the "fat side of Le Man". Everyone on the wealthy side looked healthy. Everyone on the other side of town was porky.

That you won't play with my dong.,Time to fuck with my coworkers...,@Lensflare I think the intent is just escape inner loop to outer loop. So if you have a ton of loops maybe its an escape hatch. But a ton of inner loops kinda has a code smell to me.,@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.

What is this shit Red Bull you been drinking? ;-),When I was going to meetings regularly I would often crack jokes during the meeting. I am no longer invited to those meetings. I never did it out of turn. It was usually after my boss would ask "How is it going?"
The official reason I don't go is because they created middle management to reduce the meeting size. There was too many people in that meeting for sure.,I would like to meet a real Zulu warrior.

This actually happened. I was working on something with a name that sounds similar to current crisis (some crash bug). My boss at the time says "You were working on 'similar sounding name'. It couldn't have been that way for 10 years." I went and found the crash issue. He was right. It wasn't in there for 10 years. It was in there for 15 years and he did it. Copy pasta errors.

My dads family had mostly brown hair. Dad is pretty much 100% irish. My mom is half irish and half german. So the expressions I see in my family are interesting. My wife has dark red hair and I have dark brown hair. I have one red head kid and one blonde kid. With the rest either brown or dark brown.

But they the ones that need it most. They have to live with themselves.,I suppose if you are trying to change the default behavior of a consumer device then maybe it is accurate. I modded my original Xbox with a chip I soldered in place. It allowed me to have alternate modes of operation. Having a hard drive that I could run games from in not allowed in original. With the mod device I can put games on hard drive and not use CD if I don't want to. This allowed me to use PC mods on the game Morrowind on the Xbox. I didn't program the mod chip it was done by someone else. But it was used to hack the Xbox.,We were switching from paper sheets to electronic system a while back. I told the HR at the time we will have to fill out 3 time sheets soon. She physically paused, look dismayed, and said "I ... hope not..."
Later we went full electronic, but it doesn't have a way to classify the time spent on different projects. So now we have this home brew entry for what projects we worked on in addition to the timesheet. I also keep track of my time on a spreadsheet so if the electronic one screws up I have a reference.,@Lensflare yeah. Pretty sure Starfield is first pass of the engine they will use. I hope they learned from Starfield to make it not suck ass. The bar is so high that expectations will be off the charts if it isn't perfect people will bitch.
I honestly just said "pass" on Starfield when I saw that Sweet Baby Inc was involved. That is a hard nope for me. I always wait around 3 to 5 years on new games anyway. It gives it time to finish all the DLCs. It also gives other people time to review it properly. Unless it is really a game changer it might be a nope for me.,@Lensflare I am kinda assuming it will suck ass until proven otherwise. It feels like a repeat of HL3.,@Lensflare the skill system in Morrowind was broken as hell, but it was way better than Skyrim. Each iteration keeps taking shit out. I loved acrobatics, athletics and other things that improved through use. The magic system in Skyrim is just shit now. Morrowind and Oblivion were so fun to make your own custom spells. Morrowind was the best in this regard. Instead of addressing the power issue by using a non linear curve in the spells they just take shit out.,Mental note, make custom email address called recruiter001@<domain>.

I won't let a crime go unanswered, but I will hope they get some kind of healing if they need it. Sometimes people just have bad days and I meet them on their bad days. Other times they are evil and don't care. I will remove people from my life they fit into the latter. But I won't wish ill on them. Only what would pass for justice if possible. That's kinda the theory. In practice I feel like a lot of people can just go fuck themselves.
I have to try and remember that: hurting people hurt people.

It is probably healthier not knowing the depth of human stupidity. I am so sorry to drag you down to this cesspit. lol,So in the early 2000s I worked on a floor with a LOT of cubicles. Back then people used email to share videos and pictures instead of via phone. Almost everyone had speakers and not headphones. So someone would send an mp3 around the office for people to listen to.
It would go like this:
1. email with mp3 with slightly provocative title
2. the mp3 would be purposely really quiet at the beginning and it would have words you couldn't quite make out so you cranked the volume on your speakers to try to hear it.
3. at full volume the mp3 would play "I LIKE GAY PORN! HEY EVERYONE! I LIKE TO WATCH GAY PORN!"
4. at this point you would hear someone swear and turn off their audio player
Why do the I mention the large floor with hundreds of people in cubicles? Because every once in a while you would hear this play out in random places across this floor. It was cheap entertainment during the day.,@jestdotty pretty sure Adam and Eve proved that men are fucked without salvation. I grew up learning all people were fundamentally screwed up.

I am curious as hell as to what it was making! I will check at home tonight lol,@jestdotty this is what is strange that is happening in the cs area. It seems they want to languages that don't align with how the computers work in the thought process. Then have the compiler figure out how to compile correctly. It seems like we want some holy grail of abstraction that isn't tied to architecture. Maybe there is the thought that computer architecture could change and doing things the way computes work now may not be ideal? I dunno.
I see things like typeless abstractions (type erasure) and struggle to understand how that improves my code. Unless there is a way to reason about it to create more performant or memory efficient code. I am sure it is because I just don't "get it" yet. But I wonder how much is high level smoke and mirrors?

Most of the time I can create a data structure that will account for this so I can reduce code to one version. Sometimes you just can't. Sometimes its better to rewrite I think.
My boss did tell me that reducing duplication doesn't make them money. I sort of get it, but at some point you have to clean the shit mess up. Otherwise you spend time changing things multiple times. Which doesn't make money either.,@retoor USAID is all money laundering it seems. I have been asking my senators to take action on things now that someone will actually take action in office.

Today I learned the FBI was leaking info about ICE deployments sabotaging efforts and potentially getting agents killed. This is how bad it has gotten. Criminals installed in government institutions trying to get other people killed. I think if we knew half of what really goes on in government we would be throwing up.
I saw a video that looks like a SS agent shot Kennedy. So I think the SS and law enforcement may have tried again last summer on Trump. It was very fishy.,@devJs can't you use anything with WebAssembly?
Also, I joke about JS. To me its a tool that I use in my job. It does what I ask it to do. I just like the language wars.,@Lensflare I think we alienate people here too much. It is supposed to fun and interesting. A little rage inducing can be interesting, but it will keep people away.,@PaperTrail yeah, the 20K dollar battery after a 5 years is a killer on my enthusiasm.
That and them bursting into flames.,@NoMad it was conditions about when smacking noises should occur. I am unsure what you are saying.,@NoMad I guess the answer is: the mouth does what it is asked to do. If its BDSM it doesn't speak, it just does what it is told?,Turns on @Wisecrack spotlight:,WTF! You are alive?!,@retoor I think maybe I will stick with regular text for now. 7GB is way too big for game data for a small game I think. I don't want it to have net either. At least not for that. I dunno I will have to think about it. I am concerned about copyright claims too. I don't know what its trained on.,@AvatarOfKaine the running rumor was you got fresh with your hot upstairs neighbor and got arrested, or her boyfriend found out. That is the last thing I remember was something about a hot neighbor. We have active imaginations.,@retoor okay, I will check it out.,@Hazarth yeah, one of the complaints in game forums was the llm giving wikipedia responses to things. Other people said they got it working just fine. So it made me wonder what "fine" means and what they trained on.,What does penguin mean in this context?
Linux server in 19" rack?,@galena see, I was very confused. Thought there was alternate meaning. Found that "penguin" could mean a very loyal boyfriend or significant other. That is why I asked. I am just ignorant to new gen lingo.,Don't forget @scor job hunt.,@AvatarOfKaine Cheers bro!
Also, I am going to pretend that AoK's return was prophesized by Deep Thought.,.,@Lensflare maybe he is an anime character and grew his izekai harem. He just finally escaped that world after 2 years. Now he is looking for bitches in this world.,@SidTheITGuy
Well @Floydimus isn't around so you can be the new angry Indian dude.,Please show how this happens in code. This is very interesting.,@AvatarOfKaine snek?,@12bitfloat oh. I thought it was transforming types or something.,@Lensflare the cross over of English like words in German kind of amazes me. I feel like English is a version of less angry German or something.,@Hazarth Kind of reminds me of Maiq the Liar form TES series. He slightly breaks immersion to talk about game mechanics is previous games. But you have to have played previous games to understand that it breaks immersion.,"in the ast", sometimes words line up uncomfortably...,So I guess the TLDR of your post is "pain in the ast".,@Lensflare I don't know if this platform is big enough for that.,.,@Hazarth yeah, after thinking about it today I need to have characters that reference other games I make in a humorous way. What would be even funnier is in the first game it references non-existent game. Then in next title the players will wonder what game the character referenced in the first game.,@AvatarOfKaine objects in a computer program are hallucination of the programmer. Once it is machine code there is no concept of objects anymore. It becomes pointers, data, and instructions. If the code generates correctly it works and does what you want.,"I don’t fucking deserve to live."
My opinion, nobody does.,@jestdotty I think if everyone got what they deserve it would be very unpleasant. We pretend we do good things, but I think most people are extremely selfish. Could be I have a poor outlook. I dunno.,Why do people think Musk is richest in the world. There are Saudi families that control trillions of dollars. They don't advertise at all. Blackrock controls trillions. There are very likely many other families and individuals approach ownership of trillions. They just pay people to keep them out of the news.
Something fishy is going on at OpenAI. Whistleblowers don't just die. Reminds me of that kid who killed himself at one of the Ivy league colleges. I think maybe someone killed him.,@jestdotty I wouldn't tell anyone that they don't deserve to live. That's just being a dick. I just think the default state of being a human is broken.
I remember hearing about a book where people pursue their own interests has a net benefit on society. I wouldn't call that being selfish though.
A lot of people still act like children and manipulate for attention and power. That is the kind of selfish I am thinking. We get upset in a bid to control someone else. I see kids do this, I see adults do this.,@NoMad I would love to see Elon buy it and trigger a buncha software devs. Yes, that would be fun. Then he would go through and publicize all the drity laundry.,Yes, I am really interested in your legacy databases and visual basic code to control your 1960s era CNC machines. As long as it pays for my Maserati.,@retoor a raccoon tail on a girl could be cute.,@tosensei I got it as Windows 11 Pro on new PC. Linux isn't an option. I mostly find it fascinating and frustrating on new systems to disable all the bullshit. I had this in KDE on Linux at work. Some stupid default decisions in KDE too.,@BordedDev I don't know what that is.,@BordedDev lol,Did a new Only Fans just drop?
Maybe she can sell Sketch Coin too.,@qwwerty there should be another chart for things you forget to do because you don't do them often, and how much time/money that costs you to fix. A bad one would be changing the oil on your car.,@BordedDev well, now I have. I don't even know what game that is from.,@BordedDev I played original Doom in college. It was THE game back then.,@AvatarOfKaine that's what I am hoping she will say.,I don't use Google Assistant. But the stupid phone keeps asking if I want to use Gemini. No I fucking don't.
Another super fucking annoying thing. I have a Motorola. One of the big features they tout on their website is shaking the phone to turn on the flashlight. It worked when I got this phone. They did a damn Android update that I couldn't block. Now none of the kinetic gestures exist on the phone anymore. They fucking took out a feature that is bullet point on their website for the phone. What is even more fucking annoying is if you ask about this in forums that Motorola helps in they have boiler plate suggestions to fix for apps that don't have anything to do with gestures. Then they always end with: "Did you try wiping your phone?" The fucking imbeciles never try to address that they fucked up on an update. So it remains unsolved.,This is how bad these POS tech companies have gotten. They break their own shit and their minimum wage help can't help you or report the problem upstream.,@retoor okay:
https://civanlasers.com/technology/,@jestdotty what phone shuts down stuff? I have never seen that before.,@retoor brat,@retoor new game character in my video game just dropped: A nerdy, bratty, C dev named Retoor. lol,@retoor Its my job to trigger people here. I am the one who knocks! Problem is I don't see the joke as I read it like an autist. Once I realize someone is joking I am like damn, they were trolling. But I thought I was the troll!,@retoor,@retoor,Not sure how exciting it would be. Probably like a spider.,The prompt: "please burger cheese"
lol, it even gave me one with pink hair!,I had ant lions as a kid. I also had spiders. I wasn't allowed to have scorpions even though I brought some home. Also had frogs. I ended up dumping ant lions in back yard. They took hold and survived along the fence.,@retoor lol,This is what independent Britney looks like:,@retoor yeah, I have seen much worse pictures.,Dealing with germans is ostreams' kampf.,@djsumdog I know. She was a sex puppet for rich people.,@djsumdog well the British government is arresting people for speaking out. They even tried to warn Americans they will extradited for free speech. So basically its turning into a shit show. Sad.,@shovethisrant how you doin' bro?,@retoor
"That English fossil that died a while ago, that's a queen."
No,
That English fossil that died a while ago, that's a "lizard".
She also officially died on Iguana Awareness Day.
https://daysoftheyear.com/days/...,@Tounai
Trudeau is resigning, so Canada has an opening:,Did you start dev work again?,https://youtube.com/watch/...
Wonder if we can rework the lyrics to say:
I'm going slightly gay...
Also, does slightly gay mean: "just the tip"?,We didn't get a death game with Japanese people trapped in a virtual reality world either. That was supposed to happen in 2022. They also would have escaped by now and we would have Nerve Gear for our own virtual worlds.
Lame,@jestdotty and the media gaslights and says it isn't happening.```
