The Immortal Power Supply

19 minutes ago 2.7K views 0 shares

Seven years of hardware evolution, three operating systems, and that Corsair AX 760 power supply just refuses to die. It's watched your GPU upgrade from a GTX 760 to a 3090 to a hypothetical 9070 XT. Witnessed the rise of Ryzen from Intel's shadow. Endured RAM doubling from 8GB to 32GB. Meanwhile, your motherboard keeps getting fancier hats. That PSU is the IT equivalent of the guy who's been at the company for 25 years and still uses the same coffee mug while everyone around him gets replaced with younger models.

Guess The Type Of This Bug

Gamedev Physics Programming Debugging Testing

44 minutes ago 6.2K views 0 shares

When your game physics engine is so complex that a virtual police officer's toe can break the space-time continuum. Somewhere, a physics programmer is having flashbacks about collision detection and wondering if they should've just made the cop's feet rectangular hitboxes instead. The beauty of game development: spend years creating an immersive VR experience only to have it derailed by a single appendage. This is why we can't have nice things in software—one misplaced pixel and suddenly you've created a wormhole that crashes everything. Imagine the debugging session: "So what's causing our global softlock?" "Um... Officer #42's left pinky toe, sir."

Those Were The Days!

Ah, the sweet delusion of the elderly PC builder. Remember when $1000 could get you a beast of a machine? Now that same budget barely covers a decent graphics card after you've sold a kidney on the black market. The chip shortage, crypto miners, and "gamer aesthetics" tax have turned PC building into a luxury hobby that requires a financial advisor. Meanwhile, the younger generation just pats us on the back and humors our ramblings about the good old days when we weren't choosing between rent and a new CPU.

Function Syntax Evolution: Less Is More

The meme shows a beautiful devolution of function syntax across programming languages, with a guy progressively losing his mind with excitement. Golang: func (){} - Mild interest. Kotlin: fun (){} - Growing enthusiasm because coding is suddenly "fun". Rust: fn (){} - Full-on excitement as we're saving precious keystrokes. Bash: (){} - Complete ecstasy. Who needs labels when you can just have parentheses and curly braces floating in the void? Four characters to two. That's 50% efficiency improvement. The CFO will be pleased.

Easy Way To Remember The OSI Model

Networking Programming

Finally, a networking model I can actually remember. The OSI model has tormented network engineers for decades, but stack some cats in plastic bins and suddenly it's crystal clear. From the bottom layer handling the physical cables (where the grumpiest cat clearly lives) all the way up to the application layer where users click buttons and complain that "the internet is broken." Network troubleshooting would be 73% more efficient if we just asked "which cat basket is the problem in?" instead of "which OSI layer is failing?"

The Horrifying Truth About JavaScript Arrays

The moment when JavaScript's existential truth bomb hits you like a freight train. In JS, arrays are just objects where the keys happen to be sequential numbers! That calm developer on the left is about to have their entire worldview shattered with this realization. It's that special kind of programming horror when you realize your mental model of a fundamental data structure was a comfortable lie. Next thing you know, you're trying myArray["1"] instead of myArray[1] just to prove to yourself that reality is broken. Welcome to JavaScript, where arrays are objects, undefined is not null, and NaN !== NaN. Sweet dreams!

In A While, Pointer Pile

C++ Programming Debugging Backend

When you forget to free your memory in C/C++, the garbage collector doesn't come to save you—it's just you and your memory leaks in the wild west of manual memory management. The figure is having an existential crisis over leaking a memory reference, while the demonic "WHEEZE" face is cackling "See ya later, allocator!" because that memory is now lost forever in the heap. It's like forgetting to close the fridge door, but instead of spoiled milk, you get a slowly dying application that your users will absolutely blame you for.

Too Late To Ask What DevOps Actually Means

The classic management dilemma: "Let's hire a DevOps person" without understanding what DevOps actually is. Six months into the project, you're nodding along in meetings while secretly Googling "what is CI/CD pipeline" under the table. Meanwhile, your infrastructure is held together with duct tape and prayers, but asking basic questions now would reveal you've been faking competence this entire time. The technical debt compounds faster than your actual debt.

The Archaeological Cable Expedition

Finding the exact cable you need in that hellish tangle of wires you've hoarded since the dawn of USB is like discovering a unicorn. The fact that someone actually found and used a specific cable they've had since 2011 deserves a standing ovation, a medal, and possibly a national holiday. It's the tech equivalent of archaeological excavation—except instead of ancient artifacts, you're digging through obsolete VGA adapters and power cords for devices you no longer own.

All My Homies Hate This Header

The universal law of USB: you'll try to plug it in, flip it, try again, flip it once more, then somehow the original orientation works. That blue connector has caused more collective frustration than any code review I've ever been through. It's like it exists in the 4th dimension where neither orientation is correct until you've wasted exactly 15 seconds of your life trying. And don't get me started on trying to plug one in under a desk in the dark—that's basically a blindfolded puzzle game nobody asked for.

When Theory Meets Production

First panel: Everyone's terrified AI will steal their jobs. Second panel: Suddenly no one has actual production experience. The duality of developers in 2024: Simultaneously convinced AI will replace them while secretly using ChatGPT to figure out how to center a div. The truth hurts because we're all just stack overflow copypasta merchants with impostor syndrome and health insurance.

Your AI Girlfriend

Cloud-based relationships come with hidden costs. When your AI companion's neural networks are hosted on someone else's servers, you're essentially paying a subscription fee for affection. Self-hosted models might require more maintenance, but at least your sweet nothings aren't being analyzed by data scientists in a corporate basement somewhere. Remember kids: true love means running your own inference engine.
