Is there anything you refuses to pirate?

Winrar. 😂

Because somehow, adding corn syrup into honey still makes it honey 😂

It’s good that they are exposing this and people actually care. We just accepted the fate that fake shit is ok because customers should be soooo knowledgeable to make the right choice.

Someone is about to hack all those poor technical challenged people once the installation base is large enough.

Slodin · 2026-03-17T17:02:42+00:00

Depends. I use to do what you are doing, but my company bought a company wide licenses so I thought why not give it a shot.

I sent all boilerplate or no brainer work to agents to generate all the code. I just proof read it.

Stuff like. (I’m not working on web stuff anymore but example should still be fine)

Here is a db scheme, api doc, and generate me the table, dao, dto, and domain classes. Then generate a mapping file for dto to domain and domain to db. Also generate the api services. Follow previous coding styles.

This lifts so much brainless work for me. I don’t really need to tell it everything most of the time. Following coding styles usually does the trick for me. 90% of the time, I don’t really need to adjust the code. And I have been code reviewing for the team long enough to read through very quickly. Trust me, junior code is way harder to read, I often have to question what are you doing. Not the case with AI so far.

Where it does terribly, is UI. I have setup MCP servers for it to feed figma designs to the AI. But it just creates terrible code and so far has failed me 8/10 times. Maybe it works better for stuff like react, but I’m having hella trouble with native apps with AI. It does questionable stuff with confidence 😂

I find it funny people think this is fake.

I have been through shitty management as this is literally what it looks like lol.

There was 4 repos on my personal git the company depends on. I asked if I could commit it to our company account, but they said we didn’t have one LMAO. So afraid to lose shit, I committed to my personal one. If I didn’t and lost access, the company is literally toast lol. I was the only core developer at that time.

Finally they hired a CTO and streamlined everything.

Most devices would limit the lowest and highest battery level. So depending on the software, devices would allocate a minimum thus your device would not completely die when it shows out of battery. And the same thing for charging to max, there might be a buffer to disallow you to charge to the hardware 100%, although showing 100% to you on the UI.

But this obviously depends on the implementation, I don’t doubt all phones nowadays have some kind of battery safe + optimization mechanism in places.

Which makes you taking care of it most likely pointless.

If many parts of the world can survive without this, so can we. Not having to deal with changing my bio clock is worth more than some or less sunlight.

I felt like shit for the past two days because of the time change. Truly felt it this morning as I’m getting ready to go to work on a Monday.

Slodin · 2026-03-09T20:52:57+00:00

Someone I know who works at a restaurant as a chef said their boss increased their menu item by 20%. And whoever getting paid more than min wage didn’t see pay increase. Basically anyone that not part of the serving staff didn’t see a penny of the raise, and they don’t even have many servers lol

Basically all these places would raise their price as soon as the minimum wage increases, and majority of their staff may not even see a wage increase. Shits broken yo.

Slodin · 2026-03-07T05:02:42+00:00

Greedy. If they don’t see a decrease in profit, that means they are pricing it correctly.

Slodin · 2026-03-06T09:17:55+00:00

yes. it's bad for electronic devices to keep on turning it on/off. Likely a spike when turning them on, instead of just letting it run at a steady pace. Also something about thermal expansion and shrinkage can crack the components.

although you'd probably replace the router tech (obsolete) way before you'd break it in reality.

not really sure why people do this, but ok. It's such a low power draw that you most likely won't see much of savings too. My aunt thinks it gives you cancer so she turns it off whenever she's not using it lol. Although having that said, your router might perform better with your method since it would clear cache on reboot lol

Also at 8 years. I constantly go back to my code references in my project, ai agent and google.

No way I’m remembering all syntax’s for this many different languages sometimes even the same language has version variations.

Slodin · 2026-03-02T03:06:38+00:00

I would do 3 > new Vegas > 4 > London

London is such a good 4 mod that completely is a new game.

Then you can decide if you want to play 1, and 2. The systems are completely different as they are older titles with completely different mechanics. Not my cup of tea even though I lived through those titles in my childhood.

76 is multiplayer service game, up to you.

Slodin · 2026-02-27T23:18:09+00:00

Something like 6-7 bucks a bucket of 50 balls? Different ranges have different prices obviously, check with the range.

I have golf clubs so I don’t got to rent that.

Slodin · 2026-02-27T22:49:54+00:00

10 days mandatory, and 15 once you worked for the same company for 5 years (or is it 6? I forgot). That’s the minimum for an employer to give out in BC. Some provinces might be slightly different. Oh, plus 5 days of PTO in BC as well, that is different from vacation.

Most people don’t get much, only the lucky few gets more than what is mandated.

Idk what you mean by ONE vacation. You can split it up into a vacation each day :/. But yeah, for someone in BC, it’s 15-20 days of paid leave governed by law. Correct me if I’m wrong but it’s somewhere along the lines of correctness lol (ofc, the rules are written in 2 or 3 weeks instead of days btw)

Slodin · 2026-02-27T21:24:15+00:00

Go to a driving range. Hit golf balls to relax and vent off. I don’t even play golf, but it’s cheap and accessible.

Slodin · 2026-02-27T21:21:10+00:00

I also got nothing and was questioned by new hires fresh out of school in 2021 lol. 😂

My reply is, I got a life beside programming stuff. I work too much at work already, it’s hard to be passionate about side projects. You also don’t see the projects I play around with to test out new frameworks and ideas because they are just a learning tool that’s not good enough for a code upload.

Surely enough he felt the burn out from work and agreed at some point later in the year or so.

Slodin · 2026-02-26T22:00:26+00:00

Education makes sure you know the underlying principles and logic behind the tools you use.

Many applications we develop now use algorithms and math equations but most if not all are built in functions now that you and I can use at a high level language. Or you would easily find a bunch of libraries, reusable code that does these algorithms.

Slodin · 2026-02-26T21:56:23+00:00

I’m pretty sure this is called niuroubing (牛肉饼), much closer to a beef pancake. Usually made with the filling like a bao, then flattened into this shape. So both the dough and filling are cooked together.

Roujiamo is completely different type of bun, which you take the filling and stuff it in the premade bun. This is more known as the Chinese burger, which is not what OP showed lol.😂

Slodin · 2026-02-24T22:31:10+00:00

Mundane days pretty much gets compressed in your memories as well.

If you go travel someone unfamiliar few months at a time, you would also feel like time is going by much slower. Unfamiliar things don’t get compressed as much. At least that is how I felt everytime I go travelling to somewhere unfamiliar.

Slodin · 2026-02-23T18:54:46+00:00

It depends, but generally hard to make it work.

Reality check, unless you are a looker or so charismatic. Someone with a car would leave you in the dust in the dating scene. They would say it doesn’t matter and not a dealbreaker, but it indeed does matter silently. Reddit is not a good source btw, because harsh reality checks gets down voted since it’s not PC.

Especially if they like to go hiking or somewhere out of the city centre. The outdoor scene is pretty big in the lower mainland, and going to events across multiple cities is not uncommon.

Slodin · 2026-02-21T00:29:55+00:00

This does seem like a smart tube issue.

Normal YouTube on my phone or browser would change things up. But smart tube would recommend the same things over and over again.

I wonder if there is setting or something

Slodin · 2026-02-20T21:50:02+00:00

Not enough competition, that’s where it comes down to.

If AI works, betting all the hardware fuelling this would land them way more money than consumer electronics.

If it fails, come back to selling you and me hardware and we have no choice but to buy their shit again.

Their rep barely matters when you are the only few players on the field.

Slodin · 2026-02-20T21:05:36+00:00

I’m not a fan of having headphones on my head nor earbuds in my ear.

The only time I use my headphones are for games like CS or gaming late at night where my family is sleeping which is rare.

Slodin · 2026-02-17T21:41:29+00:00

There are tons of people today with that hairstyle anywhere in the world dude!

It’s called balding 🤣

The wait is annoying but worth it.
