MANCHUCK

Every time I talk about #NodeJS, I make a comment about how Node Modules are the major suxor, and I miss #PHP

@firebreathingduck@social.vivaldi.net @chartier@toot.cafe You can't put high-speed trains on curvy tracks. Most of the time, they have to be straightened. Another challenge is that these tracks were built before they used thermite to join the rails. The rails had to be replaced to withstand the stresses. The CCP just seizes the land required, and when Japan rebuilt after WWII, it was less of a challenge due to all their infrastructure being destroyed

Today is what I'm calling "No AI Wednesday". No #AI tools at all today. Just Vim and the specification. It's going to be bliss

Many politicians who support #AI keeps saying that we can’t lose to China in the AI race. Can someone explain to me what winning is?

@mwop@phpc.social I wish I were able to make it out this year to claim one 😔

@OndrejMirtes@phpc.social The Turbo button in most cases, slowed down the computer instead of speeding it up 😀

@preinheimer@phpc.social Frozen does not have a happy ending. A HUGE frost comes through and kills all their crops, and they lose a major trading partner. I would have liked to see how they resolved that situation 😆

@paulshryock@phpc.social YSAP over on YT will be happy. He does a lot of bash programming content @yousuckatprogramming@www.youtube.com

@flowcontrol@phpc.social Another future VIM user who codes in PHP! Congulations!

@grmpyprogrammer Sure, that's part of it. Quality will bring in more money in the long term. Just taking an extra step can reduce bugs and improve efficiency. That lowers costs. Listending to feedback from your customers instead of fighting them also helps

@eff Is there a repository that allows me to search if my PII was leaked?

@greenpeace@mastodon.social I'm 100% electric at my house (well, 98% as my wife is waiting for her car lease to end next year). I'll be getting home batteries during my renovation. Some of my GOP peers have been asking me why. Well, I've been telling them my goal is to be the only house on the block with my lights on during a power outage. I frame it as being independent. I tell them I don't know what the price of gas is. They are starting to come around to that idea

@jascha Now with work mandating the use of AI, it's worse for me. I will type out a prompt, and while I'm waiting for it to finish, I'll go on a non-work-related sidequest that has fifty steps. Next thing I know, its two hours later and the agent finished it works an hour and a half ago

@grmpyprogrammer Thats a better way to put it

@grmpyprogrammer Still not an excuse. We are the ones doing the work, not the boss. Imagine you need surgery. The Dr says the surgery will take about 4 hours. 4 hours you pay for. You're about to be put under anesthesia when you happen to notice the Dr is spending a long time washing his hands and donning PPE. You yell at the Dr telling them to get a move on and stop wasting time. Is the Dr going to listen to you? No, because it's on them. They own the work, not the hospital.

Nobody tell the GOP that there is only one bathroom on the #Artemis2 capsule. They are going to want to ban Christina from using it during the mission

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange this is lobbying by data brokers

Worst hipster store idea ever.

Another No #AI Wednesday for me. Last week worked out so well. The next day, I used fewer tokens and didn't have to waste my time with hallucinations. I attribute that to having structured code, giving the model some clean contexts

Little Dude got some stickers

I love being a loser. I have an EV and charge with solar. Rising oil prices because of the #IranWar haven't really impacted my budget much. Yes, everything else is rising, but fuel is not something I worry about. When the US starts having shortages like Russia is currently facing, I won't have to wait days in my car, and then fight to the death for fuel. Be a loser like me

@jrconlin@mindof.jrconlin.com @afilina@phpc.social The Ford case is interesting since they just rehired the Sr. engineers without supplementing with JR engineers. That is just a band-aid. When those Sr engineers retire, there still won't be people with that knowledge I could be wrong. Maybe this will be a wake-up call to mgmt, highlighting the need to address bus-factor

@ramsey@phpc.social I loved it when Regina Wallace did the same. She even pleaded the 5th when asked how to say her name: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HoM-tH3Wy4

@grmpyprogrammer@yac.grumpy-learning.com so not because AI is good for mankind. Got it 😀

@bobmagicii@phpc.social I can’t book flights online. The drop down only goes up to III. All my ids have IV on them

@chartier@toot.cafe TBF, I-95 is 3,000 KM long. That is just one of the many interstates we have. America is big, and building high-speed rail across that many miles is an imminent domain nightmare. Look at all the problems CA have trying to build their high speed train

@carnage4life@mas.to We make the impossible possible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnDk8BcqoR0

@bobmagicii It's "fancy" because it's an upgrade from Apollo. However its the same toilet that is on the ISS. It should be an esay fix

@afilina@phpc.social Sounds like someone needs to embrace VIM 😆

I'm not someone who likes to post reviews of products or services. I only do it for excptional dis/service. After all the issues we've been having with Guaranteed Rate, we're moving to a new broker. Instead of needing $80k to close, we only need $17k, plus a deduction of the out-of-pocket costs we paid (appraisal, inspection, architect and building permit fees), bringing the closing cost down to ~$11k. I let the sunk cost fallacy delay us getting started and getting a better deal.

@bobmagicii@phpc.social @peach@phpc.social I think it's more like going to the gym. You have to in order to maintain fitness. I'm maintaining my programming fitness. Otherwise, my brain will just rot

I won the #UndiscoveredPodcast raffle from #TrekLongIsland ! Little dude saw it and said “Dada I play with robot?” He knows Data is a robot from back when I was watching #TNG

Well, little dude snuck into my office. He was bashing on my keyboard and managed to quit #vim. I guess the whole infinite monkeys theory applies. 😀

@zimzat At least with other professions, there are governing bodies that help prevent abuse from managers. Maybe it was just my upbringing. I was always taught that if you put your name on something, make sure the work you do is the best you can. It reflects on you. Even when I was working shit pay jobs, I took that to heart

@dacig@mastodon.social @greenpeace@mastodon.social It would be great if the US grid could support that. Currently, if the power goes out, I lose power. That is the driving factor for me getting whole home batteries

@bobmagicii@phpc.social I mean, if it walks like a duck....

Now that the #WorldCup is over, can we go back to talking about the #epstein files

Everyday little dude makes me so proud

@bobmagicii@phpc.social @peach@phpc.social Unlike AI, my brain only requires about 20W of energy. I also don't pollute the water, air, and I don't generate any infrasound. I don't need as much processing power to read and understand the spec

Little dude is going to be a nepo baby at @wurstcon@phpc.social

Once again, developers are screwing me over. The bank wants $80k to close because they don't believe we only have one home. They keep confusing me with my father. I should have switched to a different broker sooner
