AsmongoldTV: How to make $7k? You make $1k, and then do it six more times. Brilliant.
Quite often, when you have some arguments about some controversial topics, and you provide some statistical data, people as a counterargument, giving you just one example. For example, let’s talk about some not-very heated topics like smoking, and you say research shows that a percentage of smoking people end up having lung cancer. And your opponent replies: but my granny smoked a pack of cigarettes every day and did not have any health issues. I do not know what I can reply to in this situation.
JQL, Splunk, Lusine… why do we have so many query languages? Why not use SQL for everything?
I miss the time when software development was very niche, and people were programming just out of passion. Then, you looked at the code; you saw the passion for the craft. It changed a lot, now people do software development because they can make more money. They like money way more than what they are doing, and you can see it in the code. I am like this now, just make the code work and bring it to the public as soon as possible (push to production). I have to, it takes a lot of time to write good code.
I can program in Python now. I write code in C++, and then I ask ChatGPT to convert it to Python. Hehe.
Sometimes I feel that programmers get paid by the lines of code.
Assembly code is exactly the same:
auto f1(bool b) -> bool
{
if (b)
return true;
else
return false;
}
auto f2(bool b) -> bool
{
return b;
}
f1(bool): # @f1(bool)
mov eax, edi
ret
f2(bool): # @f2(bool)
mov eax, edi
ret
I have gotten for my BD espresso machine. And what I learned my body does not get the same amount of caffeine as I am getting from the drip machine. After a short research, an espresso machine needs more ground coffee to extract the same amount of caffeine compared with the drip machine. An espresso machine is less efficient than a drip machine, which afterwords makes total sense, if it is faster and uses less water.
I am not going to get an Oculus 3, although it is an attractive product; I have an Oculus 2 and know what to expect from the Oculus 3; same as Oculus 2 plus higher resolution and better comfort. But the price and lack of Linux support are the main detracting factors for me. If someone presents it to me as a Christmas gift, I’ll be very happy though.
Don’t do this:
if (b)
return true;
else
return false;
Do this:
return b;
Why? It is shorter and easier to read.
I watched it (Leave the World Behind.) Run, Julia, run. I may say something controversial; this movie is too realistic. Like, scary things are happening, and people aren’t reacting to it. And I think this is what’s going to happen, not like running like crazy and screaming. No, simply, here is the problem: we deal with it.
Also, heroes have no clue what is happening and are making some assumptions: hackers, terrorism, Islam, Korea, China, conspiracy. And this is exactly what’s happening; there are no experts who know everything. This is reality; nobody knows nothing.
I need to upgrade my LLM to something more powerful than LLAMA, just in case.
I am looking at the documentation for Konsole, and it has a ‘selection mode’; my Konsole does not. Is ‘selection mode’ a new feature?
I streamed 253 times on Twitch this year; I have no idea when I did it. I feel like I barely streamed this year.
TIL; Talking about your salary is a protected topic under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). So, what’s your salary?
I agree that multitasking is bad; I would prefer to focus and be in the flow, but it’s not possible in corporations: meetings and iteration loops are so long that if you want to get things done in a timely manner, you have to multitask. Otherwise, 99% of your day will be watching progress bars, waiting for IM replies and nodding in the meetings.
If you want gdb to be able to attach to the running process, you need to run:
$ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
https://github.com/includeos/IncludeOS
Have you heard about IncludeOS? Using this library, you can build binaries that can run directly on the machine without needing any supporting OS. It can be very useful for your microservices on the cloud. A Hello World app is less than 1M and needs a VM with only 5MB RAM.
What happened with the Turing test? For years, it was accepted as the bar to declare whether artificial intelligence is the same as human intelligence. Suddenly, it became not good enough, and I can’t find any proposed alternatives. Why did this happen?

Tabs, spaces, 2 spaces, 4 spaces, Egyptian style, CamelCase, snake_case; I have my preferences, but I am not going to argue, just give me .clang-format.

I’m screwed; my terminal froze.

I didn’t play it; can you explain what the appeal is with Baldur’s Gate 3? I just didn’t like the character design; they all look so creepy.

Why in movies do protagonists always park their cars in the middle of the road? Why don’t they go to the curb?

My laptop fan is dying; as a modern society citizen, I tried to find a replacement part and failed. So I drowned fans in WD-40, I put so much that it was dripping; wiped off everything. It works fine so far.

Some of the old-timers probably know that I am dreaming of building a metaverse (aka Mikaverse or Naypea). I was thinking where players could host their games, and I think I have got the idea. They can publish games on the git; I need to figure out how to put a git client inside the UE5 game.

I like Emacs; I wish it were slightly faster, though.
