Avoid variable names with “no” in them. For example: instead of using NODEBUG, just use DEBUG and negate it with the language. The reason is that sometimes you will need to negate the variable, and it will be hard to understand; sometimes it may become quite ridiculous: `#ifndef …

Ok, it has been a month since I quit coffee. Doctors found I had high blood pressure, and I have long COVID so I decided to quit. I don’t think I ever had any health issues related to the coffee. I had one cup of coffee in the morning and that was it. Last week was really brutal;…

It has been 4 months since I got long COVID, and I am still in the denial stage. Quite often I think, what if my mind made it up, and my body is just pretending? I am so tired of not being 100%.
I am standing by my beliefs; you may disagree with me and hate me for that, but I believe that pineapples are great on pizza.
“Do not eat” marks on the silica gel packages should have icons instead of words.
I am working on fixing bugs in the local co-op, and sometimes I read it as coup and get triggered.
Battery operated devices are a pain, especially if you have the option to have non-battery operated. I have had headphones for maybe 3-4 months and they are perfect. They have two batteries, one is charging and the second one is in the headphones. There is enough for one day, so …
I slept through all this nonsense happening in the world. I have one explanation that fits with everything. I think the coup is staged, the reason they need to have an excuse for making Prigogin invisible. There can be multiple reasons, but I think they want to collect army force…
It feels like I am having a nightmare; nothing makes sense, but I feel like I should freak out, yet I am totally calm about everything. Is this proof I am dreaming?
Can you explain one thing? There is a lot of noise about cows contributing to the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere; they do fart, I guess. The greenhouse gas is coming from the grass they are eating, and grass gets it from CO2 from the atmosphere, so it should be fine—carbon ne…
Currently, in the education system, we teach kids facts; however, I think nowadays it is more important to teach kids critical thinking and the ability to extract facts from the immense noise.
I am at a point in my life where I have solved all the easy quests; only the hard ones remain.
TIL; people can stream on Steam. WUT?
Modality is a major source of user errors, such as CAPSLOCK, Ins, edit/object mode in Blender, or the entire Vim.
I am wondering if some people are deliberately making things worse in an attempt to address the issues. So, nobody will complain in the future in the fear that things will become even worse?

2035 Mars? Hopefully.
In one of TikToks I saw somebody mention that we don’t dream about using smartphones or computers.
Today I had a dream, I was playing with my friends a kind of Resident Evil game, but instead of zombies the underground levels were filled with dinosaurs under water. It was more o…
My life feels like a movie where I have no control over what happens.
For example, I was arguing with my friend about whether he could cook hard-boiled eggs in the microwave. For those who don’t know, eggs explode in the microwave. I saw no way to get out of this situation. If w…
Let’s Bluetooth technology to die, terrible technology.

Have you ever misread “Respawn” as “Fiespawn”? You died and the game gives you a dialog saying “Fiespawn”, which sounds like “Facepalm”.

I wonder why Software Engineers do not have direct access to L1 and L2 caches. I think we could do some neat optimizations if we can directly control caches.

Today I woke up and there was a crime scene in the bathroom. Everything was covered with blood. As it appeared, my youngest daughter extracted her baby tooth at night by herself.

I am going to have my software engineering job for at least a year. My IT friend, who knows how to program (of course, mostly he does DevOps work) came to me with a simple idea and I said, “You know, ChatGPT can help you. Just ask ChatGPT and it will generate 100 lines of Python …

I periodically forget what software can test my Xbox controller. Maybe capturing it here will help? jstest-gtk
I hate when the progress bar quickly goes up to 80% and then slows down. I really hate it. Recently, I learned that this is by design; UI/UX experts believe it improves the user experience and makes waiting for finishing tasks less painful. Please, stop doing it; I hate it.
