Third dick related injury on devrant in 2 weeks. I was walking and stepped on mine. I hate it when that happens. Its still black though.

Any teacher/professor out there ? I personally teach C, Assembly, some Rust

No more CRUD

If you have kids, I wish they will never get sick.

Starving myself to death, day who knows which. Horizontal lines appeared on my nails. I've read that vertical lines are kinda okay, but horizontal ones… Well, let's see how it goes

Interviewing with a company that brands itself as "AI-powered software development company".

Get sent code test and rules are no AI to help with code test.

I get it, but it's just so ironic...

Should the dR servers go down for good and David would pull the plug. Do we, devRanters, have a place to got to? Some discord or smth? It would be a shame for the community [or what's left of it] to cease to exist in a blink.

I know where to find retoor -- molodetz.nl . Yet it's not the means to communicate (still more than nothing) and the others won't be there.

P.S.
> 16s until you can post another rant.

:D sssoooo close

Do coding test for Vue.js job, because I don't want to work with shitty Angular anymore.

HR person sends React test, with some random string manipulation question in vanilla JavaScript.

I don't do React, but tried the test anyway. Better than shitty Angular.

Told her uhm this is the wrong framework...

I hate web dev.

A word on languages.
I really like C, did it since I'm 11 at school with some Pascal. Simple language, 32 reserved words (unlike COBOL ahem) and never wanted to change, just discover some new languages, never replace it.
I saw Rust in 2020, and it catched some of my time, like a year. It's not bad, but you feel strangled with rust. In C, I can walk on water, and my programs run in under a second with less than 100mb.

The syntax [Rust] is also hard and ugly.
So C won over Rust.

Then Go, in 2022. Better syntax than Rust, prettier code and it had a garbage collector ! Works easy. But still, C was better. Faster programs, I can do whatever I want.

Then I discovered Zig in 2023. It was cool bc I could cross-compile C and C++ alongside Zig. The Syntax (yeah third time I repeat it) was annoying. Like Rust. But I like the fact there is no memory-safe aspect in the language design.

So even now, I use C and sometimes Assembly (doing a bootloader for my [breadboard computer](https://github.com/3dgoose/65b02), I know there's no MarkDown in DevRant) for some lowlevel projects and god does it go fast : 50kO max for assembly and 10mb for C, with some amazing compile time ! In fact I did a program to estimate Pi with Montecarlo method in Rust and Python and it got 20 minutes for 10^10000000000000000000000000000000000 while C and Assembly got 70 second (I swear at this point).

The world now is preferring memory safe languages like Rust but if you know how to manage memory in C, why use Rust ?

Sorry for bad english, bye
I hate C++

Guess who burnt their ENTIRE face today while skiing? Thats right I'm a tomato now!

you don't say....

The fact that Trump was elected U.S. president not once, but twice, is the ultimate proof that many American voters are as daft and gullible as I suspected. To those who voted for Trump: What were you thinking, if at all, by putting the worst bullies in charge? "Make America Great Again", Trump says. More like "Make America Go Down the Drain." I couldn't care less, if it weren't for the U.S. dragging the rest of the world down with it.

I doubt.

Have you seen the new pedophile catholic school scandal in France?

I don't get what they're all complaining about. I've been to catholic school. Sexual abuse was the best part.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Monster hunter wilds here we go!

See you next month xd

What do they mean to be frank, who is frank and why do so many people want to be him?

If you start your own company today,

what product/services would you make?

It occurs to me that the only people left on devrant are shills, bots, racists, and insane people, and I've yet to decide whether to leave or count myself into that last category.

exactly

Ain’t no way doing cocaine feels better than cumming.

what if you never die

what if you're constantly, with every conscious decision, on a choose your own adventure ride

what would you choose 👀

I got an offer to be part of an asset management team in a position of "maintenance and reliability engineer" although I would be the IT/Infra/Network responsible. Basically chasing the integrator, and checking if they do their job according to expectations that the company currently doesn't have (🫣). I decided to let you guys decide.

I was thinking. It hurt

When negotiating salary do you ask for the max in the range they provide? If not what’s the best strategy

Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand

Well, my time with Slackware is nearing it's end.
It's quite an interesting one, I could really feel it's age, tiny mirrors into the past are thrown around here and there between the modern stuff, reminding you just how ancient this distro actually is. It's really unique (in a good way).
Compiling software to install/update kinda sucks tho, and compared to Gentoo you have less control over the compilation and the options.
The installation was VERY simple and easy, you can definitely see how it became popular back in the day for being an "Easy to install SLS", and to this day it was THE fastest install I have ever seen from a distro, took literally minutes, was surprised.
I also love the ncurses look that keept popping up every now and then, I like the ncurses TUI style.
It was a pretty fun experience.
Next: OpenMandriva.

LOVE how these companies are keep publishing their "AI models" without verifying or explaining their architecture, their data collection process, and any validation scores.

Like, I am to just take your word for it working "better" because of a study done by the school of PSYCHED(🤪)?

ChatGPT thinks I'm clever. I don't know how I feel about that.
