Congrats, @circleci.com - you are broken. You had a GREAT CI system in the past. And I mean it. That was until you started to "fix" what wasn't "broken". That was before your automated systems start to randomly block without explanation, and your support didn't care.

I was JUST asking a couple of friends some minutes before on why companies are so proud to announce they are "AI-First Companies". When I was younger, dehumanization was a bad word. Nobody wanted to be associated with it. Now, it's a "feature", it's "desirable", it's "marketing" and "innovation".

I kind of found recently that gambling is supposed to release dopamine and/or be fun... which is something I never experienced. I think this part of my brain must be broken, which is not a bad thing, but it's just one more that I found I can't relate with most people.

I feel, after investigating a little about what's public about Epstein, that Christians were right: THERE IS a hell. They just misplaced it - it's not after we die, it's here. The demons walk around, they have most of the power, and money, in the world. And we're their slaves thinking we're free.

Goodbye, @firefox.com. I tried to like you, but it's not working anymore. Tabs are buggy (can't reorder, can't detach,they get "stuck" in the bar when I try to drag them). My token stopped working. Webcam detection is TOO SLOW. Sites break, lots of crashes.... Sad to change back, but I need to.

Did we all suddenly became dumber with the whole AI stuff? Everything that we were able to do BEFORE AI suddenly needs it. Things like "MIDI to MP3" return A LOT of "AI sites" that do the conversion, something we were able to do without needing it. PDF to text? Same. OCR? Same. What is happening>

I can't understand why more tests framework just don't present how they show their failures. It's mostly how I judge which framework to use. An error like NOT EQUALS: [0, 2, 1], [0, 1, 2] is not useful. I want diffs. I want custom ways to compare stuff. I want my test framework to HELP me.

I hate - HATE - these automated, AI-based tools that detect fraud. I am just locked out of @circleci.com. The reason? I tried to build an AppImage. That's it. I had a first try, it was aborted; I pushed a change... and I can't login anymore. The idea of "making my own CI" grows stronger...

I somehow was able to upgrade MidiEditor to work with QT6. Unfortunately, most of the work was made by an AI. Which is what I feel it's good of: making "random changes until it compiles" works well if you can automate the process! If anyone still used MidiEditor: github.com/mauricioszab...

I'm so surprised how Google apps became so unfriendly... Take Android auto, for example. Amazing app... except that maps' search isn't synchronized between my android and my car. I can't also "disconnect", and can't say "don't auto-connect". It's such insanity to have an app that I can't QUIT.

Just saw an amazing quote: As software ate the world, we lost the protections from the real world. Amazing how much this rings true. And sad because, as a software development, I keep thinking if I'm not part of the problem, instead of the solution.

How Google can be SO INCOMPETENT in some cases? I just got some "security warning, your password was seen on public sites!" on my Google Account. So I got the details... ... and it's all private IPs, 192.168.<something>, and more than half of them are "localhost:<some-port>"

Sometimes I feel like an alien. I see job offers, and they all say something like "we have AI in our DNA" or some other shit like this... ... and I immediately don't want the job. I don't even want to know the salary. Like, close the offer, ignore the company. Why is this sold as an "advantage"?

What the hell happened with C++ while I wasn't looking? I was trying to compile something to WASM. I used Emscripten, but the build failed. Now I'm debugging bash that calls cmake that calls emake that calls python that calls em++ that calls clang...

I find quite amusing that USA by its own definition of "terrorist state" is now one, bombing innocents in international waters to literally terrorize governments I also find quite convenient that USA's definition of terrorism state excludes USA from the definition I would laugh, if it wasn't scary

Silksong is SO POLISHED! There are so many cool easter eggs, small details, jokes, secrets, things to explore... Even Hornet's personality is amazing - strong, determined, firm, kind, responsible, respectful, but also bold and proud. I REALLY didn't expect the game to be this good!

Oh my gosh, @teamcherry.bsky.social, you did it again! Congratulations, Silksong is amazing!

it does seem weird to declare war on people and then demand they mourn your dead

I was prepared for Silksong to never happen. I was prepared for it to be under-released, not living up to the hype. I was even prepared for it but be kind of like a "Hollow Knight mod", with the same movements, just a re-skin of the game. I was honestly not prepared for it to be THIS GOOD!

I reported more than 18 people to Instagram related to hate speech, since they changed their policies. Not a SINGLE ONE of them was considered "hate". Why have any moderation team at all, at this point?

Ender Lilies appeared to be a great game in the beginning. Unfortunately, it's frustrating, and not in the good way. First, it seems that "contact damage" was an afterthought-it doesn't really fit. Second, it tries TOO HARD to be linear. The map opens, but then you hit dead ends all the time.

It seems that you can promote eugenics and get REALLY CLOSE to fascism if you present an attractive woman right? Gosh, I so hate this stuff...

I wish I could like Beyond All Reason (an open-source RTS game). It's polished, it's beautiful, it works, have a strong AI, very interesting ideas, etc. It's also HIGHLY complex. 5 different "kinds" of units, 4 "tech-2" level units, one "tech-3". Impossible to have all these in a single game.

Talk "Usando Clojure para Gerar Javascript para rodar Clojure que Executa Ruby (e Python)" por @mauricioszabo.bsky.social Interactive coding (estilo LISP/Smalltalk) para linguagens tipo Ruby e Python? Sim, é possível, é melhor do que você imagina, já existe, e você já pode usar!

I still can't believe that we don't have some kind of documentation tool where searches simply work, and that uses LLMs to discover if you're documenting something that already exists, reads source and automatically adds documentation, and semantically searches what exists to summarize a result...

So, Mortal Kombat will have a new film. It's weirdly named "Mortal Kombat II", despite being the 4th. The third had the same name as the first, "Mortal Kombat". If you can't even give a meaningful name to your movie, maybe... stop doing it? It's not like ANY of the movies were remarkable, right?

LLM and Python are really a perfect match, like no other. When you try to run a Python project, it never works first try, seems like nothing is deterministic. It might work now, but it won't work tomorrow, depending on a lot of variables Exactly the same as LLMs.

There's something deeply cursed in Node.JS + Electron. If you do the wrong combinations of libraries, things fail to install or compile. EVEN IF you don't bump the actual thing that's failing, but for some reason, bumping something completely unrelated crashes. And, no, it's not transitive deps.

Every time I am angry with my current job, or some code that I am doing that I can't make it work and that would be simpler in <insert any other language here> I will remember that I am glad I don't work with Node!

What the hell is happening to the world? At this point, I am VERY GLAD to be living in a country nobody cares about. Hopefully I won't be caught in some cross-fire...

I wish I knew how to draw... I have so many weird ideas for webcomics, and can't draw a single finger. Imagine a webcomic showing "The Legend of Zelda" but Link is a "speedrunner": Gannon waiting for Link, while he sneaks behind him, opens the door, and snatches the Triforce

Recently, I reported more than 20 comments in Instagram. Not a SINGLE ONE of them was removed. Not a SINGLE ONE of them were "against the guidelines", even the ones that LITERALLY SAID to test dangerous chemicals in people. Meta is rotten to the core...

I really can't understand how Google can rot everything it touches. Google Slides is now full of weird bugs. You select to animate something, but sometimes it changes the animation's duration to be 0s. Meaning there's NO animation. Also, why isn't there an option to change the default animation?

Is it just me, but there's a lack of coverage on the protests in USA? Almost no info about what happened, few news sites showing anything, not even reddit or other social medias...

I'm currently playing a randomizer of Ori, and the Will of the Wisps. It's amazing how it somehow made the game better! It actually made it "open world", because you can visit things out of order, don't have to wait for specific "events" to be able to explore new things!

GIMP: We're a lightweight alternative to Photoshop! Trust us, we're not a bad software! Also GIMP: Flatten removed all transparency of your image!

KDE is a GREAT EXAMPLE on why we can't simply "rewrite everything from scratch". It's cool in theory, but... we're three major versions since the last real STABLE KDE desktop, which was 3.x. Since they decided to rewrite everything in KDE 4, it never got the same level of stability that 3.x had.

The year is 3.000. We live is a post-scarcity society, every needs are fulfilled, peace was achieved In a corner of society, a group of out-casters once known as "republicans" in the old society babble words in Old English. They blame somebody named "Biden" and "Obama" for problems that don't exist

Why does "AI videos" tech exists? Which non-exploitable, legal problem does it fix? Who had said "if I could make realistic videos my life would change", apart from: people that want to scam others, fake kidnappers, bosses that don't want to paid actors and animators?

The good thing about more software in cars is that you can get fixes when you upgrade the firmware, the car can respond better with each update, etc. The bad part is kinda obvious: this is a problem we never had. If a car had a "problem", it would be recalled, so it was VERY RARE...

A world without internet is a world living in ignorance. A world with internet is knowing that most people are pieces of garbage that would gladly throw their neighbors into a trash compactor if that would make their housing costs 10% lower. I love a lose-lose situation...

I'm starting to hate how Python "import" works. It's SUCH A MESS...

Just right now, putting my 4-yo to sleep, she told me something interesting. It was like "people that love you won't stay in your head, people that love you will stay on your head" I... have no idea why she though about that, honestly...

So many ClojureScript libraries are now integrating React without Reagent. And I honestly understand. My only problem is that, I found a long time ago, that I actually liked Reagent, and I actually HATE React... so, for me, it's not a positive.

I'm honestly baffled by the impeachment plan against Trump. Al Green was speaking live, and I saw no news site, nothing, mentioning it. But come on @algreen.house.gov! Don't give ammunition to opposition. You spent A LOT of time telling "the reasons for impeachment" that could be used against you.

It's amazing how LinkedIn is a demonstration of how #microsoft products are usually horrible. I'm writing a reply in a post. LinkedIn decides to refresh the page, so I lost the post **and my reply**. Amazing. Now I try to close the tab. It says "you'll lose what you wrote"...

Just published a new version of Lazuli: web.pulsar-edit.dev/packages/laz... I'm finally adding support for Python, although the nREPL server for Python still needs work: gitlab.com/clj-editors/.... But at least it's a start :)

Lots of people in LinkedIn are telling how "vibe coding" is the future, how it solves all problems, and how it's only going to be even better in the future. That, for me, is proof to STAY AWAY from it :D

Ok, seriously - is Trump somehow a very dangerous criminal, with international ties that can snipe anyone, and their family, out of existence? Because after seeing the journalist's AMA on Reddit it sure sounds plausible: www.reddit.com/r/politics/c... For context: nobody answered anything relevant

Implementing the equivalent of Ruby or Clojure's `eval` in Python is... weird. There's `eval` and `exec`, none accept files or line numbers, but you can `compile` code to add a filename, and append blank lines to "simulate" line numbers. You can parse code as AST, but can't _eval_ the AST.
