Therapists are too bloody expensive. I can get just as good insight on my psyche by using the goddamm Instagrams and letting the algorithm pick up on my personality.
Fuck, I'm drunk. Nine hours of meetings will get a bloke to see the bottom of a bottle or six.

Yay devrant works again

Now I just need a curl, an infinite loop and a gore dick gif.

something I wrote in JavaScript built on top of the exact same API as has been reproduced in rust by a library now

rewrote it in rust but 1/5th the features cuz lazy

has three times the bugs as the original version... like... before my bug fixing

is it rust. is rust the problem

Had bad depression on Friday and Saturday. Really really really bad. Like planning stupid shit bad. Stupid shit in my life. Whatever...

So my friend says he doesn't feel well unless he uses St. Johns Wort. I used to use it 10 years ago, but kind of forgot about it. It did help. Well now I use risperidone to manage depression with bipolar. I got some wort and took it sunday. Huge difference in 3 hours. Way TOO high response. I already posted about this before.

Today I go see Dr to check if this is okay. I told him I don't want to stop. It seems to have leveled out. He said risperidone with wort can produce mania. However, he said reduce amount of wort to 1 every other day. So it won't have as high of peaks. Cool cool. A solution that doesn't cost an arm and leg. Also a doctor who listens. We had a lot to talk about. I would golf with him if I knew how to golf. Yes, he is that cool.

He told me a funny thing last time I was there. He said you are old enough to need a prostate check, but they do them chemically now. Then he says, but for $20 we can work something else out. Anyway, I like him.

I also noticed before this that caffeine wasn't doing shit for me anymore. But today I had a low kick espresso coffee (1 cup). Wort + risperidone + caffeine is different world now. So I gotta be careful of caffeine now too.

For a long time I was so depressed and didn't realize it. I was hoping I wouldn't wake up in the morning. I don't know how I got to this point. I have great things going for me. So I am making lists of warning signs I experienced when I was very low. Probably going to get some counseling too.

I knew I needed to improve things on some level, but no motivation to do so before this week. I bought a treadmill intending to connect it to my computer and control it. Treadmill has been sitting in a room at my house since january untouched. I keep buying electronics and never setting them up. I don't even know if they work. Just stupid shit like that.

If you are in the shit, then talk to someone. If you don't know you are in the shit then ask someone. If you have to shit all the time you are probably @b2plane.

Seriously people. You are worth the trouble of finding out how to fix your shit.

Anyway ManicOne out.

Did something happened to skyRant?

A weird toast notification appeared, and now nothing loads and the message no network appears (I do have network, in case you were wondering).

My scripts are made to be stupid-proof. Turns out I should have written them extra-stupid-proof.

I've talked about the privileges of being a dev, before. The following is not a rant btw, just me appreciating my line of work.

Back in 2018, when I was 2 YOE as a Laravel developer, this thought crossed my mind, what if I remained a Laravel dev all my career and never got a job in another tech stack?

I thought I could make some demo projects but no one would pay me for that. And on top of that, I'd have to start from scratch since that Laravel experience wouldnt count for, let's say C# dev job.

Is this the "comfort zone" most devs get trapped in? And what if I get trapped in it as well?

It was my legit concern back then.

But whatever happened after that, happened and here we are.

I am now a React + PostgreSQL dev, and because of my freelancing, I'm getting pushed into becoming a Vue JS + C# full stack dev, all the while I'm getting paid for it. My research times are also billable.

I just find myself in a privileged position where my career and skills will now never be stagnant, and as a result of that, I get to earn my bread and butter.

I just love being a dev sometimes :)

when will my brain become one with rust already

sigh

How did devRant find it's initial users, in other words, solve the network cold-start problem?

For my startup, my concern is that users join only when other users / content creators / friends are on a platform, and content creators join platforms that have users... Any tips on solving this?

WarpCLI got me busy. It's not a replacement for r, but damn what is it intuitive. Instead of going like a maniac, it will ask you a lot. You're basically just discussing code all the time, one of my favorite things. It was not boring at all.

I made a scammer scammer. It'll be very naive and will waste a lot of time of scammers. Marcus is a middle aged man that does not know how the navigation of his Brabus works. I'm sure they want to help.

It took ~2 hours to burn trough 5,-. 5,- is really a lot, normally i average on 1.50 per day and that's not even only my usage. Their subscription is actually just the same price as Claude. It also used Claude for this project. But yeah, they have a good deal with Claude, because I don't use the Claude API much because it's insanely rate limited.

This app is really worth a try, I am surprised. Especially because it let's you check everything step by step.

I knew this stuff would become popular, invented it seven months ago while working on r which is still my swish army knife.

How do I make money through humor?
I am getting better at amusing myself.

For instance. I get take and bake pizza from Papa Murphys. The pizza says to cook at 425 or 450. I always cook it at 420 at what I have determined to be "perfect" times. So a Papa Murphys pepperoni is to be cooked for 11 minutes at 420 F. Literal perfection with not too dark crust, and not too light. All my homies says it great.

Ugh. So tired of my “premium” HP Omen’s shortcomings that I want to buy a MacBook again. Probably Air 15, and install Asahi Linux right away.

Just finished the code tests. I swear all of them could have just been regex. The first 2 I know can be because I did.

The last one was pattern matching in an array of strings (think battleships)

I actually fucked up the second test because I decided that they probably want code instead of regex...

I have such an unpopular opinion on some things that I'm afraid to tell it aloud, fearing of cancellation, hate and stuff. I don't think this is a democracy anymore if we have to self police our thoughts to match the acceptance of the weak.

Been looking into my health issues. Seems I might have liver toxicity or some shit caused by a medication I take. Was looking at what liver toxicity would appear as in symptoms. I think I have a few of those. So I will be getting with my doctor about this. On one page it said acetaminophen could cause liver toxicity as well. I don't take that, but the: "When to see a doctor" had interesting criteria:

- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Pain in the upper stomach area.
- Coma.

The first 3 seem reasonable, but the "Coma" symptom is sketchy AF. Like who is going to see their doctor about a coma? lol /s (in case it isn't obvious, for the autists)

Correction: oligarchy, not "democracy".

Unless you mean it in the classical sense of the word, where "people" is not as broad a term, given how **citinzenship** was an exclusive status in the ancient city-states that developed these concepts.

However, even in that case -- which I find highly unlikely -- I'd argue that oligarchy is equivalently if not moreso applicable as an accurate description of said form of government.

Every few years, you (probably) go and vote _not_ for whomever better represents your interests, but rather for whomever seems to be the lesser evil: the 'best of the worst', if you will, out of a series of horrible candidates you absolutely do not trust.

That is undemocratic; no semblance of power is vested in us, much less "supreme power", and we cannot speak of anything even remotely alike to popular sovereignty within this context. By which I mean, we have overlords rather than "representatives".

And this, altogether, does beg the question: why do we parrot these terms as if they were ever a faithful description of anything? Have we no capacity for language, perhaps?

Appropriately enough, it's bollocks all the way down.

I hate vscode so much and I miss atom

I hate all these features that creep in all the time and I have to do goddamned management to turn them off. this shouldn't be my job. stop cluttering my IDE

Today, I fully parallelized my evolution algorithm.

That means that since Thursday of last week, even though I took yesterday off, I was able to learn about metaheuristics, implement three of them (one being my own awful invention that did not perform) and successfully parallelize them.

Feeling good, man.

thinking on it in retrospect, all the doctors I've met don't know why people get worse or better in the various conditions they've tried to diagnose me with now (lol, talk about confirmation bias and "hypochondriac" insult they kept giving me)

but they'll sure arrogantly tell you how diet has no medical basis for curing their conditions and other insane garbage

they don't know why people get worse or better, but they'll tell you judgmentally that you should just do what they say... even though they don't know why people get worse or better

they'll make fun of things people try... even though they don't know why people get worse or better. which is wild. if you don't know why don't you admit you don't know, fully? you'll admit it when I ask you questions about your knowledge base. but you don't admit it when it's outside your knowledge base? suddenly you're all knowing and there's no hope there? but you don't know why your own patients are getting worse or better

if they're getting worse and better it means something outside of your strategies are effecting their outcomes. but you will dismiss all strategies outside your own

and have a PhD somehow. like not just medical doctors by this point I've seen. they've got PhD in the medical field and a specialty they contributed to. but they don't know why people get worse or better. but you shouldn't do PhD level research -- it doesn't work, even though we mention nothing about what makes people worse and we don't believe in making people better
