Guess I'll just waste some more of my fucking time

I was just thinking about how fucking nuts the people were around me as a kid

Can anyone weigh in with some lovely anecdotes from their childhood of the kind of bonkers people they were exposed to ?

Should someone try to verify what they trust, they will find themselves on the shore of infinite, immesurable void. This void is aggressively anti-memetic: it exists, we know it exists, but it's practically unknowable.

Have you ever tried so much as compile your entire OS and all its programs from scratch? I know it's possible, I know there are people somewhere who do it, but have YOU personally tried that? Did you compile every part with multiple compilers to verify that your compiler isn't compromised? You can talk the talk, but have you walked the walk?

The food you eat every day. Did you make sure that it only contains what the label says it contains? Have you checked it with the lab? Have you then checked the lab itself? Did you check their equipment? The firmware their equipment runs? Purity of test mediums and reagents? The equipment you used to check the purity?

As I type that, I want to smack myself in the face. My brain aggresivelly rejects the idea that it needs to check everything itself. More specifically, the idea that the amount of trust it puts into other people it doesn't even know is INSANE. Here this void is -- known, but unknowable.

Do you remember the shore? It actually was _your_ shore -- you yourself is just an island floating in this void. Other people are islands too. Or bubbles, or, more specifically, entities that live within those bubbles. The bubbles made of beliefs and assumptions that form their hosts' realities.

With natural language, you build bridges to other islands/bubbles. The natural language itself is a thing that you don't really know -- you use it, yet you (and no one else for that matter) can guarantee that other person you talked to understood exactly what you was trying to say.

This black sticky void can consume us all at any moment. Yet, it chooses not to.

This void is god.

Trump is butt fucking America

Shaved my hair with the intention to make a buzzcut. Shaver dies in the middle of the procedure. Yelp. Chill at home for the next 2 hours looking like a latestage cancer patient. Okay lets go on. Zzzz
One clean strip of mozzarella looking back through the mirror. Forgot to attach the 3 mm thingie after cleaning. Bald it is. Still great decision, dandruff gone in less than a day. Hell yea!!!

I fucking hate snorers!

Is it the time period coming up that I'm remembering where everything sucked less and things like this

Were literally just what they seemed and we all tried neat things before people turned everything into something weird and awful again reminding me of bs ?

Fuck you matrix !
Fuck you time loop!

Fuck you chicken !
Fuck you cow !

I find it strange. How can employers expect 8 hours of work a day out of you? I mostly get about 4 hours done, 5 if I'm top productive.

I hate what AI has done to developers, man.

I was discussing something a couple of days ago while my colleague was sharing his screen. He (Android/Flutter developer asked for my help for something custom in the iOS build) And while we were discussing it, he went to ChatGPT.

He wrote a bad prompt using wrong terms (for example how tabbar in ios is a different thing than android), i told him he was wrong and what the solution is, he didn't listen and went to try out what the AI said, made a bunch of errors, the proceeded to copy the errors to chatgpt wasting so much time.

AI to some developers is like tiktok to kids.

oh yes, my hands are shaking again
that weakness, then the tingling
someone's gonna spend the night without her whole body twitching for no reason whatsoever
all hail starvation

I find A.I. to be a nice pair-programmer/buddy to help me out with any questions I may have, where the typical human being doesn't have the time, patience or know-how.

Week : 82 (Year 1 )

How is the weekend going?

I bought a new house. Any advice?

Love how the senior dev said 'this is a simple fix' and it has now consumed three days of my life, two liters of coffee, and the last remnants of my sanity.

My brain vehemently rejects every piece of knowledge related to inductance and inductors. Every time I try to learn something about those things, the knowledge just leaks out as if it was being erased by an external force. Oh how I want to understand how inductors work, but I can't!

You know what's fun? Building software at your leisure, discovering, etc.

You know what's not fun? Being pressured to learn something in the least amount of time, with the least amount of resources and the least amount of budget.

How many of you wake up and the first screen you see is your development environment (IDE, terminal)? lol

mechanical keyboard proponents be talking about longevity... I never ever had a membrane keyboard fail on me. they're indestructible. but I had a mechanical keyboard with kailh red switches fail on me, and I had to constantly spray it with wd-40 to make it work again. ugh.

CEO is the most important job, even if you don't agree.

Your job is easier than CEO, you do what you're told, everything has a specification.

US is like macOS: a surveillance state (cough cough prism cough cough) that claims to be better than everyone else.

China is like Windows: total surveillance, you have no rights, you control nothing.

EU is like Linux: a lot of vaguely similar things, little to no surveillance, ugly (banking) apps.
