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 of a stealth game, you were supposed not to make any noises. We played each level taking turns. Almost immediately I was immersed in the game. Everything was in 3D and I also had tactile sensations; I felt the impact on the soles of my feet when I jumped down and hit the floor.

In the game I got to the surface and was running on the street happily, it was raining and I felt cold droplets on my body. Then I realized there were no people on the street. Zombies started coming out and I woke up.

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 we continued to argue, we would be late, and if I let him cook, the egg would explode and we would waste time cleaning the microwave. I gave the most logical solution and said, “Okay, you can cook the egg, but you will clean it after it explodes.” I knew how much time it would take to cook the egg and clean the microwave, but I didn’t know how long we would argue. In my mind, I saw him agreeing, the egg exploding, and him forgetting to clean the microwave, leaving me to do it. And that’s exactly what happened.

And those types of situations happen very often. I just know exactly what is going to happen and don’t see a way to make it better.

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 code and you’re good to go.” But he dismissed my suggestion. Even though he is IT savvy, he is resisting using ChatGPT. So, human inertia will save my job for at least a year.

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.

I visited the doctor. So far, they have found a standard set of American health issues: being overweight, having high hemoglobin, high blood pressure, and high triglycerides. I am essentially healthy, but I do not feel well. They prescribed me some heartburn medicine, which I appreciate, as it makes me feel like I am being taken care of. I’ll keep you posted.

Always seek for a second opinion, even though the first opinion is your own.

I feel Discord is about to lose a good chunk of Nitro subscribers with the upcoming name update.

I can’t solve CAPTCHA anymore. Am I a bot, or have CAPTCHAs become harder?

Please don’t try to make words look Russian by reversing R’s. It makes it 100 times harder for me to read, because my brain switches to Russian and suddenly nothing makes sense. For example, ะฏussia would sound in my brain like Yaisja.

I think I have Long COVID; on Sundays I’m just hibernating the whole day. I’m going to visit the doctor and see if they can help.

I want to switch my motto or lifestyle from “Better to be safe than sorry” to “Do first and ask for forgiveness”. I think the latter one is more productive.

Tools are trying to be helpful by changing line endings on me. Please don’t do it, and treat all files as binary files.

4 days of my shitposting have gone from my website, and I take full responsibility. Lesson for me: do not SSH to your pet projects from the office.

The COVID-19 pandemic has just started and I had a dry cough. I was pretty sure it was a nocebo effect, but even knowing it wasn’t helping, at some point it was so bad that I had to constantly mute myself on the streams. And you know when my cough stopped? After I got my first vaccine.

We need more research in this area; we cannot just discard it and say it is all in your head. Even knowing it is not real, it does have an effect on the body and can affect your real life.

I am wondering what percentage of people are actually self-motivated. It is frustrating to see that everything in the work environment is designed around control, key performance indicators, and essentially making sure workers are constantly monitored. I do not mind being monitored, at the end of the day, a large portion of my side projects I made on the Twitch stream, but sometimes it is annoying. I assume the push to return to the office is driven by the fact that they want to monitor us working.

I am stepping into the world of diet, as I am trying to figure out which foods are low in fructose or have a balanced amount of fructose and glucose. It is a total mess, as all websites seem to contradict each other. ChatGPT is also confused, I assume because it was trained on this conflicting data. For one prompt it says cantaloupe is low in fructose, and for another prompt it says it is high. Also, if 30% of the population is affected, why is it not part of the nutritional breakdown?

I finished my coffee and had some oranges. I listened to music and danced. Now I am going to focus on my work.
