Did you know that Set Theory is a fundamental building block for studying databases? : )

I miss when I was a junior sometimes. Just hammer out some code and go home at 5pm...

Main company: 3 juniors and me
3 daughter companies (acquired in the past 2 years)

CEO: "I want to make the best brandportal in the Netherlands."

Our main webshop: held together with ducttape and prayers, no brand management tools
Daughter companies got their own webshops.

There is no technical leader in the company.

We're migrating to another ERP somewhere this year and these airheads can't decide whether to keep existing products or not, let alone anything substential.
They want to outsource the connection between the shop and the ERP, despite that being the current situation and going horrible, but because in the new ERP some things cant be done we are introducing yet another management pane. Yay!

No sensible roadmap, got shot down when I asked being interim techlead/software/solution architect until we find someone...

My current manager literally dropped all her responsibilities onto a PM who doesnt know what the fuck to do either.

I'm sitting here pulling through because it'd look bad on my cv to quit another company so soon again despite the company having no future nor growth opportunities for me.

I seeth everyday, yet know if I drop out they'll have to crawl back to the external software dev company we inherited the shitshow from. Because you just need a few devs to have a dev team right?!

CEO actively boast about us saying they told her that it can't be done while our product crumbles bit by bit from architectural problems. It wasnt even designed as an webshop let alone a brand management tool..

One of these days I'll just go into consulting, it'll be just as soul crushing but atleast I get to keep a slightly larger slice of the pie and be able to say no to shit customers sometimes.

I just want to express that...

Because I had worked on a project 1 year ago, and with the other projects I had done in the mean time, picking this back up would be challenging. And guess what! I still have my comprehensive manual I wrote for it in detail! Beautiful! Everything neatly written, everything explained, every field, every troubelshooting issue!

I managed to solve every setup issue in seconds! Aah! Aah! Scream for joy. lol

pew-pew mazafakaz!

A good reason to deny meetings. No agenda - no meeting. :)

Finally getting to really try out WSL2.

Something must have changed since I last tried it because it's working great running my Jetbrains IDEs graphically and I am able to run NGINX and MySQL no problem. I even have caja installed and it runs great too.

It feels so much snappier than VirtualBox, even though the GPU acceleration is still not really working.

I'm mixed on finally learning Docker. It's a kind of insidious evil that is damaging the industry in a hundred ways, but it is an industry staple so not learning it would be foolish.

What's the most virgin language? I'm pretty sure no PHP coder ever had sex ever. We all know the story of that one PHP coder who got laid but we all know it's only a myth

I love the proliferation of these "there is too much american politics discussion in linux community :sob: why are u guys so political" posts online XD

My brother in christ have u ever seen RMS speak???

This was never 'apolitical' lmao.

The open source movement has always had a pretty well defined ideology, young people just forget cuz all they hear now is the corporate spin...

Freedom, the ability for anyone to use the software as they wish, the desire to share and collaborate with others, the beleif in the power of collaboration... Do these things not say a lot, about how these devs would prefer the world to work?

In 2025, only at Apple can you spend $3,268 on a smartphone + laptop combo and get a laptop with 16 GB of ram and a phone with USB 2.0.

Ugh, I remember the first time I tried to post on Reddit — I had this super niche theory about time travel in cartoons, and I was SO excited to share it. But nope, not enough karma. Ended up commenting on cat pics for like a week just to level up 😂 Felt like I was grinding XP in a video game just to be allowed to talk. Reddit really said: “Earn your right to be weird here.”

using Thunderbird after apple mail feels like being manhandled in bed by a big beautiful 6'4" MILF. I mean it's fine, and she's hot, but damn she's huge and, dare I say,... monumental? I feel like a tiny male ant making love to huge female ant that is like 40 times bigger than I am

Okay, so just now I literally had to force-reboot a laptop because I could not exit vim.

damn.. It really IS a trap.

Is it year 2025?

Wrong, it's still year 2000 in Japan.

People need to die entirely and start over, but they don't die. Need to create cancer in here honestly.

Look at this modern website.

Yes, pdf a’s code of some kind is indeed ends with a space, and that space is mandatory. Who let uncle bob specify anything, anything at all?

Fuck you.

So today I got to talking about "plane jacking" with a coworker. To me it has always been called hijacking a plane. I have heard of car jacking though. For some reason plane jacking sounded like masturbation in a plane. Don't know why.

Me: So calling it plane jacking is going to lead to someone attempting to join the plane jacking mile high club and having the toilet damage their penis due to sucking.

Coworker: Nobody is long enough to have their penis reach into there...

Me: I am so sorry. I feel bad for you.

Coworker: ...

Me: That was really good wasn't it?

Coworker: Yeah, but I hate it. <laughs>

writing some code groundup don't wanna cheat and instead invent my own things

gave up and was lazy. decided to finally look into what other people coded for this thing

I feel so complimented.

94 repos. only 29 have code that isn't just copy pasted default code

only 3 of those repositories decided to build a faux operating system

1 operating system is basically non-functional and the guy gave up 10 months ago. this was the latest attempt and I figured might have the good stuff but this is not so. he didn't figure out a lot of stuff yet

the other 2 look like a disastrous mess. like one guy does 8 operations to do something I did in 1... so much useless objects, methods... objects are "far away" from each other if that makes sense. Jesus so messy. this guy did 12 different arrays to do something I used an enum for and 1 array... really?

I might be the subject matter expert here now

I guess the powers that be tell me I cannot cheat after all 🤷

Why does it feel like people i never knew or did anything to were trying to systematically get me killed during this gay ass time period where they pretend to be dead junkie pedophile psychos from my childhood? Like everyone was out to steal what little happiness I had on the way in could have had after wasting a bunch of my younger years ?

And then like everyone's some fucking retard making threats in retard speak?

I just want to be around people who don't suck so hard, why is that so difficult a thing to accomplish ?

NVD NIST cve CVSS v4 no rating, v3 rating critical vulnerability

what the fuck is this , is it critical or not and what the fuck should i do to solve it, what the fuck

How much should I be concerned with protecting the OS filesystem from being fragmented by writing large amounts of data to multiple files?

I am using a filesystem that I think is either ext2 or ext3. I need to convert files that might be as large as 1GB to csv. Not sure how big the files will be. Right now the existing conversion code uses fprintf to do every single line of these files (ugh...). I would like to do bulk conversions and then write to disk. I am assuming 8GB of system ram, with probably half that free at any time.

I plan on adding a feature to do bulk conversions (multiple files in sequence). Wondering if I can do these in parallel and write after conversion. So would need to store in ram. Only write one at a time. I feel like this would be better on the filesystem. I was stage writing. If files are large enough I wonder how many I can stage at once. Have not been given an example file yet.

Am I overthinking or should I be treating the filesystem with kit gloves?
