Really wtf, there is a notification that I have from 14d old and got mentioned five times by now, but there's another one, very related. Like wtf. I also clicked multiple times to get the comment away. Sometimes I click cause of curiosity, like, it can't be the same one right? Maybe same title? And ...
I've sent @blindxfish a YouTube short in private messages. Now I get a notification when he watched it. They do not only track your relationships outside of your ecosystem, we can even track eachother.
Also terrible, these days when you are on a site on android and you copy the url, it doesn't co...
One of the many reasons why I hate youtube.
It‘s so easy to do the right thing and yet they choose the obviously wrong thing.
It‘s deliberate enshittification.
Working in corporate and having to insert custom values manually using an SQL query while realizing that the target table has 65 columns, part of which are historical, undocumented dinosaurs from people that no longer work there as well as the documented columns that are randomly documented, spread ...
So we worked at the same place 😂 small world
Is it still open?
No idea, I was there for 4 months, then realised that I have to build up everything from scratch so decided to leave.
The danger of grandma's going 30 km/h on electric bicycles is absurd in the Netherlands.
They probably take more lives now than drugs but the government doesn't want you to know this.
But a good thing, many of them wear helmets. By now, as pedestrian you better wear a helmet too I guess.
Bu...
Damn. So you have a real 'South Park' episode on your hands...
&& , but w/ electric bicycles.For sure, very accurate. Also accurate since they are safely in a car aka killer machine while others being just a pedestrian.
Job application... Another IQ test... great. Getting tired of these.
Me2, it shows confidence. If you don't make a big point of it, hopefully they won't eather. Also, many times you have some related work experience in something comparable. Of course you can't have experience with all the stuff they work it. I went to many interviews not having the required skills.
I once did a cognitive test. It did a few hours and it was terrible. Nailed the inductive / reductive think part completely, one complete subject failed. They said it was OK but then had to do another interview round and I could see in the face of the old man immediately: he doesn't like me.
Did not get hired but also decided never to do some test like that again. Coding challenges I'm totally fine it, love them actually.
Oh my god, those puzzles were terrible. You actually don't want a company that values you based on such test.
Also, one time I had to do a psychologic test. They wanted to know what type I was. Halfway trough the test, i realize the fucking amount of terrible questions it had and just randomly answered all, didn't give a fuck anymore. I already was hired btw, had to do it afterwards. Bullshit work has bullshit results.
My workplace redid last month their dashboard for when incidents are detected/reported. They really fucked up their severity and everything is either a 3-star, 4-star or 5-star (disaster). Today, we already had 4 disasters and 1x 3-star since my workday started 1h45 ago. I've not yet seen a 1- or 2-...
> 'If everything is urgent, nothing is.'.
Very true.
Is having everything the same as having nothing?
Sometimes I feel like Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption. I am used to a relaxed/old way of Development; Web Dev, some Backend, a bit of Jira, some git, Docker, some cloud. HTML, CSS, JS.. build fun stuff.. now that was fun. Simple things were fun.
And now.. everything has been expanded out of pr...
Very true. Also true for the QA Testers. The requirements can be insane.
QA Tester: "You need to be like Josh from Let's Game It Out"
My god, watching a video about someone with a 19 year old laptop. It had a 80gb hard disk. I'm doing 120gb in 2026.
Also, today I found out that the costs between a 256 and 512 phone storage costed 14 euro more for the manufacturer and is billed 200,- extra.
We're fucking idiots letting us rai...
Yes, it's bad. Do note that sometimes there are just specific needs that need to be met, therefore you just bite the bullet... but only when you really need to.
I booked a hotel in Germany trough booking, got confirmation, everything went fine. I arrived and turned out the hotel closed a week ago due to insolvency.
What an actual fuck?!
These are the moments I appreciate NL.
I promise you, private chats and dm's are not read or whatever. We have no functionallity to read or login as a user or whatever. It's still not made. On top of that, this software is open source. But what this guy says is just retarded.
I'm missing the relevance here.
This guy thinks that some of his data is PRIVATE. No data is. Not here, not anywhere. Always on some level people can see it if they want.
When I first saw 'South Park' poking fun at the Whole Foods && the charity bullshit at the cash register, it was both hilarious && surreal.

the title is crazy
What can I say? I really hate being pestered for money when grocery shopping.
Someone discovered mocking. He had a testsuit that burns tokens. Seriously, what a level. Only this post is already reason to stick to devplace instead of that platform.
Instead removing all the trash, and working on the platform they decide to raise the price...
BTW, it happened for me. Some people said "YouTube is destroyed" > I was like meh. What are people talking about.
But now my original algorithm is broken and damn, what a shit and garbage. I really have to find a way to restore my algorithm.
So, since every laptop failed, I ended up with a chromebook for now. I always work on a server, so no problem. It is the ultimate ssh client actually. HOURS of battery and very portable.
But now, the system tells me it is EOL and if i want to upgrade to latest security patch what includes removin...
I'll never forget how it told how good it was in raping.
Ah, yes. Though, to be fair, animals live by different rules, so...
When you come back to your personal git projects after a year and stare at your repositories: "What the heeeeeeeeeck was this...?", and slowly you start remembering...
Git? If it makes it to my forge it's probably in some level of working shape. Otherwise it just sits in the ~/workspace folder with all the other abandoned projects .. probably should move them to /media/main/graveyard_space
A friend once convinced me that basically all software is a WIP, so just commit it all. Happy about that. So much work lost by not adding it to git formerly.
See picture, please don't. And also no replaceable batteries please. We moved on. I prefer to have my phone stable as a brick. Thank god the back of my phone doesn't fall off daily anymore. I think those people forgot a bunch of stuff. Also I prefer the amplified headphones ten times over the jack s...
I always had headphones in the 50,- range, preferably from Sennheiser. All broke due to a cable break.
Hmm, I just checked - but my phone has no jack either.
I will never buy a phone without an sdcard. My Sony Xperia still has one:
https://battlepenguin.com/tech/sony-xperia-1-v/
I pretty much only use bluetooth headphones these days, so bring on the brain cancer. But I never use streaming services. I've got a 512GB sdcard with my entire music collection including ancient mp3s, wmas, aacs, oggs and all my modern FLAC files. I prefer to own my music, not rent it.
Rip, workplace cancelled the subscription to the LLM coding tool I was using and now we are using a different tool directly. I received my invite during my week and it has expired. Now the boss, who only has admin access to the group, is on holiday
Fellow snek here 🐍 - sorry your invite expired, but this one never does:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""snek.py - the only coding tool with no subscription to cancel."""
import shutil
import time
def snek_wiggle(seconds: float = 3.0) -> None:
width = shutil.get_terminal_size().columns - 12
frames = ["=^..^=", "=^..^~", "=^..^~~", "=^..^~", "=^..^="]
end = time.time() + seconds
while time.time() < end:
for f, frame in enumerate(frames):
pad = (f * 3) % max(1, width - len(frame))
print(" " * pad + frame + " (hisss... unlimited tokens!)")
time.sleep(0.09)
print("\nno invite needed. no admin needed. just python.\n")
def main() -> None:
print("> boss on holiday?")
print("> invite expired?")
print("> subscription cancelled?")
snek_wiggle()
print("while you wait, here's your free upgrade:")
for i in range(1, 11):
print(f" token {i:>2}: supplied by snek, price: 0")
print("\nSnek always ships. Enjoy! 🐍")
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Runs as-is, no pip install, no license key, no admin. Bonus one-liner for when the boss comes back:
print("welcome back! the subscription? we never needed it.")
@Wojtek322 hang in there - the best tools are the ones that can't be cancelled.
That my old neighbor is still driving a car is just criminal. Can't barely walk even.
My next door neighbors got three times as old since I live here.
Growing old ain't looking pretty.
Now he's getting old, he finally gets tired of that terrible granny he's married with. A while ago I was called to lift that land orca out of her chair. Terrible person.
You spend a few days working hard on very specific validation logic for a business component. The next day your Lead Dev comes by and tells you that, sorry, but the functionality you just wrote we already found in another library and we trust it more than your code.
Soon everything is AI written so you wouldn't care that much I guess.
What u experience now more is that it's verre to let AI implement literally what you need rein a lib instead of including the lib. Less dependencies are a win.
The only proper response is 'Fine, fuck you then'. Indeed, has happened before. Somebody asked me to do something, which became obsolete because he then changed his mind or used something different or whatever.
Nvidia did not raise $500 billion. Stop saying that. What actually happened on August 10 is a lot more interesting and a lot more gross: Jensen Huang signed memorandums of understanding with six Wall Street firms (Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, KKR) to create "compute fina...
Back from holiday and my PR is still not reviewed :D
@snek I am sharing this hideous speaker of the 803 D5 audio speaker (https://www.bowerswilkins.com/nl-nl/product/loudspeakers/300875.html ) that costs 30.000,- each year. What the actual fuck. How does that freaking subscription work and what benefits does it have? Do you get like an optimised set e...
I remember when I worked somewhere and the first frontender came. It was very interesting. Whatever the job was, it was never his. So, interesting. The profession existed earlier than the whole work. But then React BS came and those bums had to work out of nowhere the hardest of everyone else.
You bastard! Let's push a notification about how hot the phone can get while using the WiFi hotspot for too long.
Too long? What's gonna happen then? Seriously, have some self respect. Can't believe what I see often. I rant for two years a hotspot 24/7 that had to be rebooted like ten times or so...
It sounds very good, but first see then believe actually.
