@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, just the damn training. For the tools, they always want the latest shit available. The company isn’t quick enough in purchasing and legally clearing the latest models, services, etc., they say. Other than that, they seem to be happy.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I couldn’t agree more! I also have the feeling that it causes more people to just accept ā€œit’s a software problem, there’s nothing that can be done about itā€. Which is very frightning to me.

Up until now, I was successful in refusing to actively use that crap. I had to do one mandatory AI training, but even our hippest AI enthusiasts found it absolutely terrible. Probably also nailed together by the same rubbish they want us to now use everyday as much as possible.

Code reviews are the part that I have to deal with most. And I believe that the code quality is degrading.

Let’s hope the bubble bursts sooner than later. It will definitely burst at some point. That’s for sure.

In-reply-to » Eehhh, what the hell is going on here!?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup, I’ve also seen the floating point conversion happening with (1 << 63) - 1 yesterday night. But instead of pausing to think about it for a second, somehow all I had in mind was ā€œgive me a better representation, ain’t gonna have time for this shitā€, so I turned it to hex. Beyond my comprehension what I was thinking there. O_o That’s embarrassing, unbelievable. Well, I blame late o’clock where my brain had already quit on me and went to bed.

Very interesting data point you raise there. The fun part didn’t cross my mind yet or at least I couldn’t pinpoint it. In hindsight it’s totally obvious, though. Past experience also tells me the exact same. Dealing with a problem and researching something myself is a so much more better teacher. The longer I faced up with a topic, the higher the chance to really manifest in long- or at least mid-term memory. If I just get told something, the odds are that it’s completely erased from memory in a matter of days if not hours.

In-reply-to » Just a couple of shots from our trip to Bald Rock—finally got reception so I can share them!

@prologic@twtxt.net Awwwwwwww! I love these stripes, very cool!

Oh, I bet these inclines are no joke. I also know one about 200 meters long terribly steep dirt path up a hill around here. Climbing that is super exhausting. I just looked it up on a map. And it’s just ~17° or ~30% incline. Okay, that’s absolutely nothing compared to your adventure. :-D

But you got your exercises for the day then. Which will make for an even greater sleep tonight. ;-)

Thank you, @prologic@twtxt.net, that looks really stunning! Seeing forests reaching beyond the horizon always amazes me. This does not exist around here. I also like those balancing rocks.

Keep ā€˜em coming. Looking forward to see more. But most importantly, enjoy your trip, mate! :-)

In-reply-to » That's a very interesting thought and I agree: https://benhoyt.com/writings/dependencies/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. Unfortunately. :-( I tried to bring up the subject of dependency upgrade reviews a few times, but nobody else cared. We finally experienced a supply chain attack (luckily, didn’t turn out too horrible for us, could have been worse) and this got the discussion slowly rolling again. So, publication of this article is perfect timing. Let’s see. Admittedly, I don’t have high hopes. And I bet someone suggests to use AI agents…

In-reply-to » It's blackbird time again! https://lyse.isobeef.org/amsel-2026-03-29/

Thank you, @bender@twtxt.net!

My mate and I took advantage of the public holiday and went on a hike. At first, the 14°C and only slight wind weren’t all that terrible, especially since there were only a few clouds. Later, the sun got covered more and more and also the wind picked up. I was really glad that I brought my jacket along. In the beginning I was contemplating about leaving it at home, but then still wore it and stripped it a few minutes into the trip. It was very windy at the summit, so for our second lunch break wearing it was an absolute must. It was a very beautiful trip and I enjoyed my mate’s company.

Finally, Azabache showed up, too. I didn’t bother videoing with all the wind. Didn’t feel like fixing the audio. Maybe tomorrow.

@itsericwoordward@itsericwoodward.com That’s a nice collection. :-)

It made me look at my single frisbee, that was last used maybe 8 years ago, possibly more. I immediately found it in the drawer I thought it was in. And alongside some other stuff I was unsuccessfully hunting for for literally months by now. Thanks, mate! ;-)

Hopefully, my good headlamp also reveals itself at some point in time.

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Thanks for clarification. I already thought something along those lines. Wow, so, you can really mix different encodings in a single file, crazy. My Perl experience is limited to maybe 10, 20 or at the very most 30 written lines of code over the decades.

In-reply-to » 2nd Van trip coming up this weekend, taking Friday off work. Gonna sleep in the Van tonight and see if I can fiddle with the town water supply (basically our outside tap near the Van haha šŸ˜†) and see if I can have a shower in the Van, brush my teeth and go to bed šŸ›Œ -- Basically I just want to figure out the rest of the plumbing 🪠

@prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net That sounds great! I, too, have taken Friday off work. But I’m slaving away again at the move of one of my best mates.

In-reply-to » This year for some reason or another, I decided to purchase an Ocarina, I've been practising a fair bit every now and again, basically during work breaks and sometimes in the afternoon / evenings (not enough to annoy the family 🤣) Anyhoo, that was 3 months ago, since then I've built up a bit of a Repertoire:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah well I’ve put in an order for a much better quality Ocarina šŸ˜… The one I originally started with was a bit on the ā€œcheapā€ side. It’s been okay, but the high notes are a bit ā€œmehā€ (airy).
