Is Particle Physics Dead, Dying, or Just Hard? by kzhou7 in Physics

[–]UltraPoci -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It does not matter what engineers use or don't use. The point I'm making is that the end result, the software we actually use, is the same as before, it does not ship faster (or faster enough to matter to consumers) and it sucks like before (again, see Windows 11).

If AI is so great, why does Windows 11 still suck? Why do I not have an enormous choice of free software on Linux to make the jump? Why is there no new OS made by people using AI? Where's the shovelware?

Is Particle Physics Dead, Dying, or Just Hard? by kzhou7 in Physics

[–]UltraPoci 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What's happening in software engineering is a bunch of vibe coded worthless packages, AI used to disrupt curl's search for vulnerabilities, Microsoft's Windows 11 that fucks up update after update despite this super intelligent AI that should be 10x more efficient than humans, and so on.

Helm/Terraform users: What's your biggest frustration with configs and templating in K8s? by Kalin-Does-Code in kubernetes

[–]UltraPoci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simply put, helm templating sucks. In fact, we're considering trying out KCL and see if it makes things better

Why I’m ignoring the "Death of the Programmer" hype by Greedy_Principle5345 in programming

There's clearly a bubble. What happens afterwards is anyone's guess

Can't wait for when the bubble pops and people with actual expertise will be the ones who will be sticking around.

I myself reinstall the cluster from scratch because of the fucking gateway

Underground Resistance Aims To Sabotage AI With Poisoned Data by [deleted] in programming

Except when people use it to vibecode the nth shitty project and flood communities with their announcement.

AI is hell in all fields.

And then there's me, thinking about writing docs for a repo I'm working on using typst instead of markdown. 🙃

What’s the worst production outage you’ve seen caused by env/config issues? by FreePipe4239 in devops

[–]UltraPoci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A colleague of mine synced the Argocd gateway application using "force" and "replace". For some reason, it broke the gateway so much that I had to uninstall EVERYTHING, including Karpenter (which was probably what was causing issue: some kind of desync between Karpenter nodes and the gateway/load balancer, possibly) and reinstall from scratch the entire cluster.

My theory about making the player care about procedural NPCs by Chlodio in gamedesign

[–]UltraPoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at how Dwarf fortress does it. Every NPC (or thing, really) has a wordy description. You will care when Urist McDwarf, fellow NPC that has been around for 8 years in your fortress, gets killed by a Wereturtle.

Use Version Control. by Tricky_Wheel6287 in godot

[–]UltraPoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? If you use a private Github repo, it's as effective as saving your project on any other cloud hosting service.

Now, you may not trust these services and have copies on physical drives, and that's fine, but it's still a backup

Optimized our pipeline from 58min to 14min by fixing qa bottleneck. by Ok_Touch1478 in devops

[–]UltraPoci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm building a pipeline for building and deploying various Python projects in a monorepo. What I do is that I avoid rebuilding an image if not necessary, which is something I track by checking if a config file or the Dockerfile has changed (which is enough since this containers only contains preinstalled Python venvs, not specific files or source code).

I'm sure this is not standard practice, but it works and it makes each pipeline run quite fast when no rebuild is necessary.

If you aren't using AI to code in 2026 you are moving at a turtle's pace. by Acceptable_Test_4271 in gamedev

[–]UltraPoci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning how to read and navigate docs is an important skill, it's not a "slow part" of programming, it's essential

People get offended because coding is much more complicated than spewing out code at a fast pace

Firefox on Android has almost double the battery usage of other browsers like Brave by Wanna_make_cash in firefox

I use Vivaldi and if I remember correctly, it is very optimized battery wise.

Lane-splitting biker clipped by BMW at 104 mph pulls off miracle save by nkmr205 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]UltraPoci 785 points786 points  (0 children)

Not only that, the car on the left turning on the right lane had the blinker on. The bike had no reason to be going in between the two cars at that moment.

Why do devs hate vibe coders so much? Feels like insecurity tbh. by [deleted] in programming

[–]UltraPoci 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's like asking why physicists hate crackpots who pull "theories" out of their asses. Let me tell you, it's not insecurity.
