Some days I am in awe of the awesomeness behind software, some days, I can't understand how we've gotten so far with such a shitty software. Today, I am baffled at how terrible 3D jupyter-notebook python libraries are for things like .stl .ply .obj and similar file formats for 3D objects. Like, seriously? It's 2021 and we can't have a decent 3D plotting library for meshes in one of the most popular languages in the world??

Eventually, I settled for pyvista which seems okay so far but ran into many issues when setting it up.

I think this means that either nobody is making good 3D libraries for Python with jupyter support or Jupyter itself has some weird inner working that makes it hard to develop good 3D libraries that work well with it.

Just talked to a doctor. She told me that people who are ill (any illness) should not get medical attention unless vaccinated against covid 19. I asked a few questions, asked her about Hippocratic oath and so on. She assumed I'm an antivaxxer and started shouting saying she wishes I died. Wow. I can't stand how narrow minded and polarized people have become in last 18-24 months. What that hell is wrong.

Ooops forgot to mark this one as a rant.

Fucken introverted and lazy nature had rendered me almost completely friendless. Great. Now I have to work on socialization skills again. Arghhhh if you have good friends make sure to take care of them.

Dammmm fuckim hell. Fuckin annoying having a friend that just keeps interrupting you and not letting you finish even your most succinct thoughts. Like Jesus it's basic speaking and listening but nooooo she has to interrupt. Then I complaint aboutnit and get called overly sensitive, fuck this, I need new friends ASAP

Anyone know of a libre alternative to something like headspace?

The real reason to prefer C++ over Rust is that the compiler trusts you, he put his faith in you, he thinks you're there for him. When you put a signature for a function defined in another file the C++ compiler trusts that you are telling the truth and that you will provide a valid object file during linking stage. This is what trust is all about. Meanwhile, Rust compiler screams at you for even the smallest shit like having an unused variable.

Some days are just rough

What are peoples thoughts on non-libre games? Is that one of the areas where hiding your code is acceptable? #thoughts #freesoftware #libre

#LaTex giving me a lot of shit today... Can't even render my Python code using minted.

Family and Friends: **complain about data privacy regarding whatsapp**
Me: sets up xmpp for family & friends

**nobody uses it**

People basically complained that there isn't a single "official app" and they think the available clients look like scams or dodgy apps that a teenager made. And they think I'm prompting these "amateur" apps filled with viruses. Lol.

It makes me sad that this is how people view tech. The aesthetics of the UI determines 99% of the judgment people give to it.

@freemo are you in western Europe?

It really bothers me when I'm in a meeting that was booked for 90min and within 50 minutes of the meeting after we accomplished our goal for the meeting there's that one guy who will say "oh we still have 40 minutes" and proceed to either keep bringing earlier points or starts asking arbitrary questions just to keep wasting more time.
