That's 3-0 now.,Fucking hell, why does the phone decide I can't use my last 4% of battery for the torch function? Fuckers, you can imagine that if the user does that, it's really needed right!? Give a warning or smth. It's not like that 4% is good for a phone call either. What's the point of that last 4% battery then.
|
||
|

I live in a park 5km from outside village center. When it gets dark in the middle of nowhere, it gets black, really black. So, I was cycling home and my bicycle light died. And halfway, it was almost completely dark so I wanted to use the torch on my phone so I could at least see if I'm still on the bicycle road. That's how dark it was and it fucking refused. But then - someone caught up from behind and could follow that person until my exit (one I would've never had found anymore) cycled a hundred meters in pitch black until I saw lights of the park. God dammit, fucked up experience. If that cyclist with light wasn't there, I would've had to walk and hoping I was walking in a straight line. Normally I already go before it gets that dark because bicycle light nearly isn't enough.
|
||
|
||
And that all, because those fuckers decide what you do with your last battery. Fuck you.
|
||
|
||
Same for headphone, if ten percent battery left, more than a hour, it starts beeping every minute. So I have to listen a hour that the battery is almost "dead"? Almost dead is 5 minutes left fuckers, not whole hour!

Who designs these things?,So I have been setting goals for my interaction with people on devrant. I had the goal of getting someone to spray liquid out of their mouth in response to something I posted. I believe I had one person self report on this (maybe two). My next goal was getting someone to shit their pants in response to a post. I figured with @b2plane here my chances were a lot higher. As of Nov, 2024 nobody has reported on this. That goal still stands.
|
||
|
||
Maybe some new goals for this next upcoming year should be:
|
||
1. get someone to rage quit (not sure this in a good goal)
|
||
2. get someone to "dad splain" to me
|
||
3. triggered downvotes (I have had some in the past, so this is a recurring goal)
|
||
4. inspire anti-posts (some of you are natural inspirers it seems, respect)
|
||
5. actually create funny memes (maybe not possible, shitposting will continue though)
|
||
|
||
Does anyone have ideas for some good edge lording goals?,He is right you know 😏,It wasnt a Phillips Head screw. It was Pozidriv!,hi....,Spent 3 hours not understanding why the exact same procedure on Linux worked while not in windows. Ended up installing Linux on the windows computer.,Staring at computer trying to figure out why I can't read a float from modbus. I swapped the bytes correctly for my platform. I also ensured the endianess of the words matched my platform (byte endianess is not the sames as word endianess, fml). Was driving home thinking about what could be wrong. My mind saw this code:
|
||
|
||
uint32_t newint;
|
||
for(int count=0; count<2; count++){
|
||
newint |= words[count] << count;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
Then I am fuck! It should be:
|
||
newint |= words[count] << (count*16);
|
||
|
||
This was later turned into float. I kept getting values in the 1e-40 or some shit. Now it makes sense. The upper word was not set.
|
||
|
||
This is such newb shit. Fuck you newb shit I should just know!
|
||
|
||
Reading more I realized that the endianess of words can vary between devices even though the spec calls for big endian words. Fuck you non-compliant vendors! So I gotta add a flag for fucked up devices. Fine. The pay off is a generic way to add modbus to our opcua server. I want this easily editable in the field. For now it is readonly. So that makes it nicer.
|
||
|
||
Just a little torqued that I solved this driving home instead of at work. Too close to the code. I think tomorrow I will have my boss review it to tell me of other logical crap I missed.,don't hack hungry, guys,Angular is not fun to work with.

In the contract it was noted that the project will take 6 months FROM THE time they sign the contract.
|

They signed it in September and still want to go live this year. They don't care what is in the contract but they have legal deadlines they must comply and for that they need the project.

The site I'm working on will have this captcha soon. I make a microservice in C that will create a captcha equal to the last url parameter, the four digit number.

|
||
|
||
Well thats what I did, and the MAE (or error) of this works out to about ~0.5%, half a percentage point. Did training and a little validation, but the training set is only 2.5k samples, so it may just be overfitting.
|
||
|
||
The idea is you have X, y, and z.
|
||
z is your parameters. And for every row in y, you have an entry in z. You then try to find a set of z such that the product, multiplied by the value of yi, yields the corresponding value at Xi.
|
||

Naturally I gave it the ridiculous name of a 'zcombiner'.

I mean they did't realize it applies to ML, but its the same fucking math I did.

z is the monoid that finds some identity that creates an isomorphism between all the elements of all the rows of y, and all the elements of all the indexes of X.

5am,Dumb mistake from when I was still working:
|

|

My work laptop’s SSD went haywire, and I/O would spike every 10 minutes or so for ~50 ms. The hardware guy said he could replace the SSD right away, or I could endure it for a few weeks and get a new laptop instead. Obviously, I agreed to wait. The stutter noticeably affected screen rendering, but I didn’t notice any other issues. Little did I know that every time it happened, all input was ignored (as in: not queued). Normally it wouldn’t matter, because hitting a random ~50 ms window is hard. How-the-f×ck-ever…

A few days later — without getting into “why” — I was forced to apply a patch in production. So I opened an SSH session to prod in one terminal, spun up a dev environment in another, copied the database schema from prod to dev, and made sure to test everything. No issues, so I jumped to prod, applied the patch, restarted services, jumped back to dev, and cleaned up the now-unnecessary database. Only to discover that my “jumped back to dev” keystroke didn’t register.,AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa,when you make money on crypto, you rob people who:

Thank you.,How much trouble am I asking for in allowing for very large strings in attributes of json data?
|
||
|
||
I went and looked at the maximums for the string in json strings. I cannot see any real limitations. I did see if sending json data to a browser that it should not be more than 40MB. That seems excessive. I also checked my internal data types. The string can hold 2GB. Then there is a the server it will be served from in OPCUA. Which I saw discussion of strings in the 77KB range.
|
||
|
||
We are using a json file to configure what points to read from a modbus device. I am adding fields for name and notes. I could limit these fields, but part of me wants to see if some customer tries to make the world burn. For the most part we will be editing this file. But the customer may want to as well.,plotting such an evil fucking sequence of calculated manipulative, pure evil to the core, series of events to cause destruction to my blonde whore ex (shes on the verge of mental breakdown already and threatens to cut her veins or jump off a building and i couldnt care less)

|
||
|

Imagine public forum. Everyone can read and post, everyone can comment. And there's no way to send a private message.
|
||
|
||
You use said forum for years. Whether you like it or not, you form alliances, friendships, frenemieships and engage all kinds of social contracts. There's no ro(ot)ster either, so you keep all that in your head, until one day you need a social contract formalized — exchange contact info. With Steven.
|
||
|
||
You can't just “@Steven text me, here's my phone”, that's borderline suicidal. You yearn a safe haven. A proxy that'd allow privacy. So you quickly spin up a service, let's say Discord (it wasn't Discord, but close enough), post a link, and within seconds Steven joins… He and seven other Stevens.
|
||
|
||
So you send each a unique sentence, a 2fa token so to speak, and ask them to post it on said devRant-like forum — they can delete it later after all. And a few minutes later there's eleven Stevens posting garbage faster than mods can delete, because whitespace power. But you bravely sift through that shit until the correct Steven rants “I'm blue, da-ba-dee da-ba-da”, and finally you know which Discord Steven is blue, so you can privately chat about colours.
|
||
|
||
And then Steven's 75 years old, well-reputed account gets banned on devRant for posting along other spamming Stevens. And you can't even PM administration, because devRant is a public forum without PM-ing indeed.,I swear to god that Docker is the worst thing in the world.

(reposting comment as rant coz I think it's cool),i understand it now,My future sugar mummy <3 how beautiful is this woman,i fucking hate trying to debug microservice certs,So this just happened and I am mystified as to how. When I talk on the phone with my cell phone in my left pant pocket I get a sensation of being poked with a hot pin in my leg about 1 to 2 inches above the phone. It almost feels like the sensation of a bee sting. It happened the other day as well. I did not have this sensation with my 4G phone I just retired. My new phone is 5G. Its the most random thing and I would not have believed it. So I search a bit and some dude has been experiencing some weird phone related pain for like 20 years. Of course, none of the replies are constructive. Just assholes poking fun at someone who is trying to understand what they are experiencing.
|
||
|
||
I checked all of my clothing and there is nothing like a pin or anything stuck in my clothes. The temperature outside is about 32 degrees. So nothing actually stung me. I am going to be pissed if its actually my phone. Going to try putting it in another pocket to see what happens. My hope is its my clothing pulling on a damn hair or something. But it didn't do this at all when walking around the building without my phone. Just when I walked outside.
|
||
|
||
I can still feel the pain lingering in my leg with my phone on the desk. I checked and the spot where I scratched at it is red. Just another weird thing to deal with I guess.

|
||
Now my keyboard on my phone is even too broken to complain about it
|
||
|
||
I wanted to look at someone's post history on a forum
|
||
|
||
To do so the forum wants an account. Ok. So I gave it my old junk Hotmail account during sign up for it to send me an email confirm so I can make the account so I can search. Well I'm refreshing this account for this confirm account email through the Gmail app on my phone because who even checks emails on computers anymore
|
||
|
||
Turns out, aside from this Hotmail spam email account having a lot of junk emails (it is my junk email account), there's this little pop-up that happens SOMETIMES claiming that it can't sync. I checked inbox and spam and the email isn't in there. So 1 out of 10 times I refresh there's this little "cannot sync" message that pops up and I click it. It claims my storage on my phone is too full to sync. Ok.
|
||
|
||
So I go try to find storage through the settings in my phone. It doesn't exist as a category anymore apparently. Thankfully phones have a search feature now -- because we can't have sane settings anymore so here's a search feature. First result it gives me is just device info. That's useless. It's just the hardware specs for my phone
|
||
|
||
Second it shows storage. 90% full apparently. That's odd. I have 132 gb. Thankfully it subdivided it by what's taking up space but it doesn't make much sense and a bunch of the categories don't open to anything
|
||
|
||
Apparently the fucking android operating system is 32 GB now? Well you're fucked if you wanna remove that. Apparently years of photos and videos is 20 gb, I can back those up and delete them. Similarly I have downloads in folders, and that's about 20 gb
|
||
|
||
Why are there 20 GB of apps? I literally have no apps!
|
||
|
||
Part of apps? Wtf is Gboard and why is it a gig
|
||
|
||
Why is my WEATHER APP using a gig of storage?
|
||
|
||
And none of the apps can I remove the storage they're using. The cache is like 600kb, and I can delete all data and it's using like 60 MB. So the fucking weather app executable itself is a gig of space? Wtf?
|
||
|
||
I deleted the data for Gboard and turns out that's the keyboard. So now all my keyboard settings are fucked.
|
||
|
||
Thankfully I wrote syncing scripts ages ago to sync various folders from my phone to my external HDD. I just had to connect it to the laptop and run the script on the external HDD. Problem? Well turns out no matter what I do I can't get the laptop to connect to the phone if it's USB file transfer mode. I can do photos. But this is gonna be more than photos.
|
||
|
||
So I do my sync backup script from the laptop to the external HDD. This will sync the camera, since I have sync thing sync my laptop and phone all the time, so I can just sync the laptop to the external HDD and then delete the older photos and get 20gb. Quick fix for now
|
||
|
||
Why do I need this quick fix?
|
||
Well
|
||
Get this
|
||
I've been having issues with my Gmail client for ages. It just won't display new email notifications which is really annoying because I need to know when emails get sent to me.
|
||
Now I'm thinking, maybe I can de-sync older emails and have more storage space maybe? But that's not an option anywhere. Actually, I can't even unconnect an email address from my phone. Gmail doesn't even let you do that
|
||
|
||
What the flying fuck is the state of modern technology
|
||
|
||
Now I have to go figure out what my fucking settings were for my stupid phone keyboard
|
||
|
||
The 90s were much fucking saner than this garbage. I don't need a 32 GB operating system on a phone. Is this fucking windows 8? And let me fucking tell YOU how many fucking emails you should sync to my phone. Holy shit what the fuck is all this

The response of the bot wasn’t correct according to colleague a. So i fixed the response. Now i have a virtual directoy and the response is wrong again. Meanwhile i fixed issue b where the template path wasn’t correct so i fixed that as well. Then i got a merge conflict because i fixed 2 problems in one file in two different branches. So i fixed that. Then feedback came on issue b so we fixed that again. Now my response is fucked completely because the agent isn’t defined i don’t have a clue why. If i ever find out the output probably still isn’t correct either and even if it was i probably get feedback which fucks everything up again.

I can't keep playing sudokus all the time. the other day I wanted to go read a coding answer I asked an AI in my browser on my laptop but I was in bed on a voice chat with a sleeping person and didn't wanna get up out of bed to go fetch the laptop. my browser lets me see tabs I have open on other machines and this AI website makes a url with a unique id so you can browse to the chat you had, but it seems to not always work
|
||
|
||
earlier in the day I had asked the AI a theoretical coding question and it answered, but I got distracted and needed to go do something before I finished reading it (it was long). but when I was in bed on my phone playing sudokus for intellectual stimulation, annoyed and bored it was the only thing I could do, I had the bright idea of opening the tab on my laptop through my phone. Vivaldi is great and this always works. unfortunately the AI website's unique id thing doesn't. it loaded the website by URL correctly but the AI website just took me to the home page and I had no chat history to read =[
|
||
|
||
phones are literally computers but you can't do anything on them. can't watch videos without ads or bugs, if you load a lot of websites the tab management system sucks and performance is shit, controls for games suck even if you could find something not ad infested

I feel like I'm in a straitjacket in terms of technology and I wanna scream. I don't even know how to adequately describe my frustration or what I keep wishing for. it's been prominent in my head a couple years now. it's like we're regressing in terms of compatibility. went from card games provided by Microsoft like solitaire and spider, paint... to Jesus fuck you can't even get paint in a browser now without someone trying to fleece you
|
||
|
||
remember when things were inventive, nice, and not shit?

I don't even like playing mindustry on a phone to be fair. fighting the controls is most of the experience. so maybe phones are only good for reading things

It kept telling me that a function didn't exist in the linked object (linker error). I checked everything and stared at this shit for about 15 minutes or more.

No errors, everything linked just fine. Fuck you? I guess...

|
||
|
||
In recent years, the phenomenon of international dating, particularly involving Ukrainian women, has gained significant attention. Online platforms and matchmaking services often promote the idea of meeting "Ukrainian brides," attracting people from all over the world. This raises important questions:
|
||
|
||
Are these services trustworthy, or do they sometimes exploit individuals on both sides?
|
||
How common is it for relationships formed this way to succeed?
|
||
What cultural and societal factors should people consider when pursuing such connections?
|
||
It's important to approach this topic with sensitivity and respect, recognizing the real human lives involved. Let’s share our thoughts, experiences, and insights into this global trend.
|
||
|
||
What do you think? Are Ukrainian brides a legitimate path to love and family, or are there potential pitfalls we should be more aware of?,I installed VSCode in Linux. I keep finding thing about Linux that make me think its kinda shit. Maybe its just Gnome, but I don't know.

|
||
|
||
What made me install VSCode. I installed VSCode because I wanted a decent json editor. I search for Linux json editors and I am bombarded by online editors being pushed by Linux websites. Who the fuck in their right mind is going to use a fucking website editor for json data?
|
||
|
||
I "had" a decent json editor by running notepad++ under wine. But since I turned on GPU in Linux Wine shit just doesn't work correctly anymore. Which is the whole reason I went looking for an editor.
|
||
|
||
How can a platform like Linux take itself seriously when turning on GPU accelerated drivers breaks every fucking thing in the OS?
|
||
|
||
Why did I enable GPU accel drivers in Linux? Because updating to 22.04 caused all my java apps to draw incorrectly. Enabling GPU fixes this shit. So I enable GPU to fix one thing and then it breaks a bunch of other shit.

|
||
|
||
The "question" here is why do people hate Gnome so much? It's the one environment that I keep coming back to, especially now that my main machine is a beast, and RAM usage is nary a concern. Even then, my system is sipping RAM compared to KDE (running two docker dev environments, three browser windows with several tabs - one of which is streaming music, slack, and steam is sitting on the fourth virtual desktop, chilling), and I'm still at just over 18 GB of ram.Being able to push one single key/key combo, and type anything at all that is vaguely relevant to what you want to accomplish, and having that thing be instantly available (including searching for individual files) is super nice. Easy virtual and multi monitor switching is intuitive; little to no effort needed.
|
||
|
||
Even when I want to do other stuff, like play a game, or edit a photo, video, or some of my shitty musical-aspirational material - GNU+Linux with Gnome has been and continues to be the easiest, most neato way to get shit done.

Because who doesn't love a good surprise, especially when it involves disabling all the tools we painstakingly set up?
|
||
|
||
Picture this: you're in the zone, about to format your document as usual. You hit Ctrl + Shift + P, type 'for', and expect the familiar 'Format Document' to greet you. But no! Instead, 'Disable All Extensions for This Workspace' has decided to make a guest appearance at the top of the list. How thoughtful! It's as if VS Code is saying, "Hey, let's make things interesting by turning off all your extensions without warning."
|
||
|
||
And the fun doesn't stop there. Once you've accidentally disabled all your extensions, there's no magical 'undo' button to save the day. Nope, you get the joy of manually sifting through your extensions list, re-enabling each one like it's 1999. And let's not forget the mandatory restarts—one to unload the extensions and another to load them back up. Because who doesn't love losing their undo history and breaking their workflow?

From Loss to Triumph: How Digital Hack Recovery Changed My Life by Restoring My Bitcoin
|
||
|
||
Thanks to Digital Hack Recovery's amazing service, what began as a tragic loss swiftly transformed into an inspirational story of victory. For years, I had been a fervent cryptocurrency investor, steadily accumulating a sizeable bitcoin portfolio that I intended to keep for the long haul. But one day, catastrophe struck when I unintentionally erased the digital wallet that held all of my bitcoin holdings, leaving me feeling hopeless and distraught. As I desperately looked for any means to recover what I had lost, the prospect of losing all that hard-earned cryptocurrency consumed me. At that point, I learned about Digital Hack Recovery, a specialist data recovery business that said it could be able to recover my erased bitcoin wallet. I contacted them out of desperation but skepticism, and I was instantly struck by their professionalism and knowledge. The Digital Hack Recovery team immediately went to work, carefully scanning my devices and locating the lost wallet data using state-of-the-art methods and technology. They successfully recovered every bitcoin I had lost after days of arduous work, restoring my portfolio to its previous splendor. I was ecstatic and immensely appreciative since it meant I could keep working toward my financial objectives and aspirations without having to face the heartbreaking prospect of losing all of my cryptocurrency assets. I'm now a lifelong supporter of Digital Hack Recovery's priceless services because of the incalculable relief I experienced. Their talent, passion, and commitment to helping people like myself are demonstrated by their ability to transform my circumstance from one of extreme despair to one of great triumph. They restored my bitcoin and put me back on the path to financial independence, and for that I will always be grateful. Visit their website via: https :

Images uploading broke again. Here is link: https://devrant.molodetz.nl/llm.png,Used to think I was a hot shit programmer. Self taught (mostly) and could make all sorts of shit happen. Then I started reading other people's codebases. I got a huge dose of humility. Learned a lot from other codebases in the process. Eventually after a lot of languages and lot of practice I got a programming only job. Started reading through the codebase. Holy shit there are way worse programmers than me. There is some really good code in there too, but 20 year old wtf code too. I assume my perspective comes from seeing what good code can be. I still have a lot to learn though. That is the fun part.

I have seen a few codebases on github that just told me to walk away. Some of the best code I have found has been in game engines. Probably because I look at a lot of game engine code (sampling bias).
|
||
|
||
The coolest library I have used has been Construct (Python lib). It is a reversible protocol library. It can deconstruct or construct a data stream.
|
||
|
||
Leaving the off by 1 or more error in my post.,I really dislike it when non-devs ask devs: "I don't understand. What could be so hard about coding?".
|
||
|
||
Grumble. FredFlintStoneGrumble.,We need to update the slang "script kiddie" to "prompt enginot" or something.
|
||
|
||
So my boss's boss or someone even higher up drank the generative AI kool-aid and hired a 40-something kid to generate images for the marketing teams (or something like it).
|
||
Naturally, things soon went to shit.
|
||
The bloke already left, having staid less than six months on the job.
|
||
Guess who got to handle all the shit-is-currently-on-fire the kiddie left behind?
|
||
|
||
First impression: apparently, muggles tried to slak him some very broad descriptions of what they needed, and at first he actually tried to summarize those bark-speech pseudo-words into an actual prompt.
|
||
It does not seem to have gone for too long, though.
|
||
After users requested changes to the AI outputs, he would update the prompts, all right. And the process seemed to go fast enough... until reaching near-to-completion status.
|
||
Then users would request the tiniest changes to the AI output...
|
||
And the bloke couldn't do it.
|
||
Seriously. Some things were as simple as "we need this slider to go all the way up to 180% instead of 100%" on a lame dashboard and *kid. could. not. do. it.*.
|
||
|
||
In many cases he literally just gave up and copied the slak history into the AI prompt. No dice.
|
||
|
||
Bloke couldn't code a print('hello world') into a jupyter notebook cell, that's what i'm saying.
|
||
Apparently, he was "self taught", too. And was hired to "speed up the process of generating visual aids for usage in meetings and presentations". But then "the budget for this position was considered excessive" (meaning: shit results from a raw idea some executive crapped some day) and "the position was expanded to include the development of Business Inteligence Dashboards and Data Apps".
|
||
|
||
So now it is up to me (and my CRIMINALLY UNDERPAID team) to clean up his mess and maintain/fix/deprecate DOZENS of SHODDILY DESIGNED and MOSTLY USELESS but QUITE ACTIVE "data vis" PIECES OF SHIT.
|

|

Fuck "AI prompters", fucking snake oil script kiddies.,wish AIs were good at rust, borrowing rules, and async 😫
|
||
|
||
is it possible to have a impl of async &mut self on something that's gonna thread and update its own data via Arc Mutex or whatever or not
|
||
|
||
stop making syntax errors
|
||
|
||
guide pls
|
||
|
||
nobody uses rust, I swear. or at least they just do basic bitch "beginner" apps. please. get with the times and actually do something meaningful that's not picture perfect theoretical exercises. how come no one's RNG tested every feature against every other feature? where's your chaos monkey. the world is chaos! get with the times!
|
||
|
||
it would be nice if I stick this on the instance as a method but it _might actually never work_ if I try that so I don't wanna spend 3 days wrangling with the code to figure that out when I have a perfectly good dangling independent helper function in a random package here. gosh darnit
|
||
|
||
also apparently the only way to get something out of a Arc Murex is to clone it. but the API / usability of the thing would be exactly the same whether it was wrapped in Arc Murex or not. so it's like. if it was in Arc Mutex and you wanna use it in other parts of your app that aren't using multithreading in any way, are you just changing all the function signatures to Arc Mutex or are you cloning to get it back out? uegh I don't even. what if I mutex lock and just put that in the signatures (can I even? because I've tried using weird intermediary objects as part of signatures and then I get in trouble there too cuz arbitrarily the answer is "no" because some generic system limitation)? why all of this

I was in my bed, just thinking about Rust people. Saying that Rust is saying that sex with a condom is great but we both know the truth and that you're only doing it because your environment like your parents and government (the Biden administration, fact) wants you to.
|

|

But while thinking this, I just found the real issue regarding declining child births in the west. Every time in history had it's issues, but we're doing fine. What changed that we don't have make those sweet kiddo's now? Well, we just don't have power outages anymore and we have the internet on a device with hours of battery to keep us entertained. We don't have to take the rewarding and exciting risk of a C dev anymore if we're bored (great sex without a condom).
|
||
|
||
My solution: planned internet outages executed by the MIVD (better than the CIA, the MIVD can at least keep secret what they're doing, I'm sure you've never heard of this tough bastards). The effects will be very easy measurable in a span of few years. But it has to be executed in secret so people don't cheat by downloading a Netflix movie upfront. Netflix & Chill is a hoax, else we would have a baby boom by now or we're all Rust devs.
|
||
|

Anyway, even if you're a Rust dev, admit that this is a great inharmful idea that could actually help.

You're welcome.,Strawberry,I Used to scribble my thoughts on paper. It's haphazard yet handy. And even though I can't make corrections without crossing out or drawing arrows to transfer the reader to continuation of the thought on another page, I have this liberty to express myself and glance at a panoramic view before putting them in their final resting place –soft copy

Maybe my thought process became more efficient but I no longer need to flesh things out with ink. Database designs, implementation logic. Everything goes to a special file I create on every project for odds and ends

I have something to think about. I will miss connecting the dots if they appear in fancy fonts. I need to gradually build upon each outline, pursuing it in an exploratory manner until its possibilities are exhausted. I will draw a conclusion from their character arcs
|
||
|
||
For some reason, I see parallels between this scenario and sql vs nosql. This is one of those extreme cases where structured data storage is not sufficient. I sincerely doubt nosql should be used as a main database, but instead an intermediary for an aggregator to treat each row/record as a unique blob, extract necessary information into a sql for the actual system to work with
|
||
|
||
Sql is more sane and recommended for when you know the exact end goal but need help arriving there. Today, I'm confused and need to weigh options. I need to actually cross things out, not press the back button. It's a bit of a stretch but if this were data, it feels like what nosql would excel at,It's Saturday Night!

They will ensure to deliver.,When Trust Becomes Deception: My Bitcoin Investment Saga and Resurrection Dealing with Salvage Asset Recovery
|
||
|
||
What started as a promising investment opportunity quickly turned into a nightmare of deception and broken trust. I had heard the hype about Bitcoin and the potential for massive returns, so I decided to take the plunge and invest a significant portion of my savings. Lured in by promises of easy riches and assured of the security of my funds, I entrusted my hard-earned money to an online platform that claimed to be a reputable Bitcoin exchange. Little did I know that I was about to embark on a harrowing journey filled with betrayal, loss, and a desperate search for a way to recover my stolen assets.
|
||
|
||
As I logged in to check on my investment, I was met with the devastating realization that my account had been cleaned out, the balance reduced to zero. Panic and disbelief set in as I grappled with the harsh truth - the platform I had trusted had been nothing more than a sophisticated scam, designed to fleece unsuspecting investors like myself. With my funds vanished and no clear path forward, I felt utterly powerless and betrayed, my dreams of financial security shattered in an instant. The journey that followed was a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with uncertainty, frustration, and glimmers of hope when I was directed to Salvage Asset recovery. The Salvage methods were shrouded in mystery, and progress seemed painfully slow, but I clung to the belief that they would ultimately succeed. After what felt like an eternity of waiting and uncertainty, the Salvage finally announced a breakthrough – they had managed to trace the stolen Bitcoin and were in the process of recovering it, piece by piece. As the final pieces of the puzzle fell into place, I found myself on the precipice of a remarkable resurrection, my lost investment slowly but surely being restored to me. The sense of relief and gratitude I felt was palpable, a testament to the power of perseverance and the unwavering determination to right the wrongs that had been done. This harrowing ordeal had taught me a valuable lesson about the importance of trust and the consequences of placing it in the wrong hands, but it had also shown me the remarkable resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
