I fucking… it’s… a flowchart language… and to avoid a hash-table lookup of function identifier to underlying logic.. I wrote a linker.
It’s like, maybe 10 total lines. So not a real linker. But still. Just a bit crazy.,LinkedIn: You have one notification!!!!

The job market is FUCKED right now,tmux, Neovim, and Alacritty (term emu) with VT323 font... on Windows via WSL. When you can't decide between OS's, just choose both!,I've only been using it for one day, but the most striking thing about going from VSCode to Neovim is the performance incrase.
VSCode has some noticeable input lag, but Neovim, even running in wsl2 (AN ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM VIRTUALIZED) has none.
That's sort of insane. An ENTIRE OPERATING SYSTEM is less heavy than a single instance of a bloated Electron app.
The absolute state of desktop development in 2024. Yes, VSCode is a fuckin amazing editor. But I can't help but think it's built like resources and performance were never truly a concern beyond "good enough".,Snapchat is now showing ads mixed in with, and at the top of the list of, your contacts. That’s in addition to the un-removable “Team Snapchat” contact, and a ChatGPT-2 model “My AI” that is permanently fixed to the top of your contacts list and once told me that some completely random politician, who was not even in the race at any point, won the 2024 general election.
Snapchat, I realize your business model was never designed to be profitable but FUCK you for dying in such an annoying way.,GitHub releasing the worlds most awful report trying with all their might to make copilot look good.
- percentages did not add up to 100 (one was under, one was over)
- errors not defined as functional errors, but “any code that reduced the ability for the code to be easily understood” (what in the subjective bullfuck is that?)
- apparently 200 participants but 25 represented 40% of the population????
LLMs are already decreasing the average GitHub employee IQ to functionally retarded levels :(,Joined leetcode to get better at algorithms.
Fuck leetcode.
Instead of giving you enough starter code to copy and paste into your IDE and get going, they give you a function you need to implement and test cases written in plain English.
AND THEN they sell autocomplete and debugging as a premium feature.
FUCK you guys. Give me something I can import into my own tools instead of deliberately tying me down to your shitty pay to win environment.
How am I supposed to understand my deliberately complex code without a fucking debugger?!?!?,We literally gave ChatGPT their next idea by making fun of them.
They probably saw the posts on the internet where a real person would have a lengthy back and forth conversation with 4o about how many R's are in strawberry and were like "wait, what if we could make the chat bot do that with itself before it answers"
10 quadrillion GPU cycles and $100 in electricity later, we have a "new" GPT model!
Oh and considering their new $200 per month paid plan, it seems like I might not be far off concerning the price to run this parlor trick of a chatbot.,Guys what the hell.
I clicked “update and shut down” and it honestly did it. It didn’t restart and leave my laptop running. It actually really for real genuinely earnestly updated and SHUT DOWN.

Already getting better at using hjkl since I don't have any arrow keys.
Only thing that's a bit of a bummer is the ~ key is Shift + Fn + Esc. Oh well, I only use that one maybe a few times a day anyways especially since the only Linux I use is WSL.,Does anyone here own a Canon 90D? I'm in the later stages of trying to upgrade from my T6 and I've picked the 90D due to the resolution it shoots at and it's price point plus compatibility with my current lens collection.

It straight up doesn't work. There are just - missing emails. Straight up gone. I need to log into my PC to see them. Checked all the folders on my phone.
How do you fuck up that hard? Spending too much money writing useless chatbots, Apple??,Sharing progress on a project I started two days ago.
Elevator pitch: a personal (open-source) photography website where you can search my repository of photos by color, brightness, orientation, resolution, and subject.
I got a new camera and it actually performs very well and it made me realize that there's a lot of interesting data in images, so I've decided to convert my personal blog into a photography-centered personal blog.
My first idea, the one that actually drew me into starting the project, was to pick colors from my images (colorpicker/ eyedropper style) and then on the home page, those colors would appear in a grid and you could click them to see related photos.
Cool idea, but clunky and not very useful in practice.
So I implemented median-cut algorithm to generate a palette from an input image. It has its weaknesses, but it's consistent and does a job that makes you go "yeah that's about right" in 99% of cases. It generates 8 colors and then a second algo removes any colors that are within 5% distance from one another.
Before the color theory nerds ask, YES - I am using plain-old RGB and you can suck my balls. I don't care about human perception enough - not for this project at least.
Then, these colors (and other basic image analysis like brightness) are stored in the DB and related to the image entity from the upload.
Then the user (not yet implemented...) can do the reverse. Either they can choose colors from a colorpicker, or they can upload their own photo to get a palette and then the colors are looked up in the database and the related images are shown in the search results.
This will be combined with a somewhat complex tree-style system for the subject of the photo. For example, a subject like "crow" can be related to the subject "bird" which itself can be related to the parent subject "animal". So if you search by crow, you'll only get crows, but if you search "animal", you'll get birds, crows, etc.
While it's not exactly a reverse image search like google images has, I think it's a somewhat refined take on a way to explore a photography repository - especially a personal one.
I am developing the management portal and the public facing portals as separate projects due to separation of concerns - and so I can avoid implementing (and upkeeping) authentication for ONE user (me) so it just runs on my local network.
Screenshot is the current iteration of the upload page for my management portal, which will eventually take care of watermarks etc etc.```
