Did not expect a "I paid for the whole CPU; I'm gonna use the entire CPU" ahh moment before I started to compile the Qt framework. 💀 May God have mercy on my CPU's cores.

Hello again, Conan (the C++ package manager). It's been... a while. 🥹

Better AI Depends on Better Data: We Need Your Help | The JetBrains Blog TL;DR Over the past few years, AI has made remarkable progress, but it doesn’t always deliver what professional developers need. One key reason is that most models are trained on public datasets th

This is disappointing, @jetbrains.com. Very disappointing. I'll still keep my subscription, but I am disappointed. Using our data and potentially exposing our data to training despite intending to opt-out without even some sort of compensation does not sit right with me.

I can't believe I can read these Hiragana nowadays. 😭

Mobile dev is quite a relief from web dev. 😌

I NEED EPISODE 24 OF KAIJU NO. 8 NOW! UGHHH! RAGHHHH! 💢💢💢

So annoying when they do an opt-out model, instead of an opt-in one. 🙃

We've been in a JS-dominated web for so long, that I forgot how fast things are if you don't use JS! 🤯

Hello, SourceHut. 🎉 Slowly starting to migrate away from GitHub for my personal projects, after Microsoft's decision to put GitHub in the CoreAI team. Time to see how SourceHut goes. 👀

It's always a relief seeing websites that don't need a ton of JavaScript. 😌

🧠 Tonight is a night for learning.

I regret not watching Superman (2025) in the theatre. 😔

Crazy CS2 match tonight. 😂

🖼️ Experimented with doing a tubelight effect via Affinity Photo basing off a tutorial from Facebook. Decent results really.

Happy to have lost 0.5kgs in weight, thanks to the power of God, anime, and J-Pop Girl Group music. 🥹 39.5 kgs more to go.

✏️ A post-workout activity of learning Kana. 😊

⚒️ I guess I'll be building a Rust game engine, but with the gameplay logic handled by a higher-level language.

🤔 Now, time to check if I should go for Lua or check out AngelScript.

🤩 Kaiju No. 8 never fails to make me all giddy and feel excited whenever Kafka gets to do something awesome!

Confirmed. Squats are the bane of my legs. 🫠

Weightlifting is actually nice. I can't believe I feel excited to do it again! 💪

✨ Gym Day 1. Here's to hoping to return to 65kgs! 💪 Having a good experience at the gym so far.

📚 It's really time for me to spend and dedicate time to reading books. I just bought another set of books, and I don't want to see them picking up dust in my room. This year is our year for self-improvement! 💪

Ugh. I hate working with PHP. 🫠

Sometimes, i just wanna play Stardew Valley the whole day in a quiet place. 😩

✨ Oh the start of a new project that will hopefully bring me back to writing articles again. Building with C++20 and Qt. #buildinpublic

I'm starting to feel a Japanese mode within me as I get to learn the language more. My brain got fried hard when I joined a Japanese language voice chat last night, but it was a wonderful experience. Hoping to get fluent in it soon. 🤞

I love the ridiculousness of Kojima. I LOVE IT! WHAT THE FRAGILE, BUT I LOVE IT! 🤘

Yow! They added Gen Hoshino in Death Stranding 2!!! 🥳

It's been a while, C++ and Qt. 🥳

Hello, Qt. 🥳
