 horrible news guys I'm still alive and making videos again for this time I really just want to explain what's been going on stuff like that why I haven't been doing a lot of videos and I guess get into what I have actually been doing because there's been quite a few behind the scenes stuff that I have been working on stuff it just haven't been doing any videos on it for starters I guess I mentioned before but never really in great detail working as a cook right now those kinds of jobs tend to suck like I needed a break from what I was doing before and it's fine I've cooked plenty of times before actually at this point right now I have more years in cooking than I do in medicine which is kind of weird to think about but just because I got back into it that's how that went and they tend to suck not really because of the work itself at least not for me some people don't handle stress well but then they tend to just not stay in that line of work I don't really get stressed out by the large amount of work I mean sometimes it gets to me but generally speaking it doesn't really bother me what does however and the other problem that's basically anybody who's cooked professionally will know about drama at certain places tends to be pretty bad and this is because most of your waitresses most of your bartenders are going to be women especially younger women and I do got to be careful with that because it's not like every single one of them is like that I definitely not saying that what I am getting at though is that if you take a large number of what's basically like 18 year old shit what's basically 18 year old girls together in a place they're still going to be treating a lot of things very similarly to high school and unless they're all good close friends which they're not going to be you're gonna get drama really doesn't help that one of the people there who there's actually the oldest female there seems to be quite the drama queen as well so I think she really encourages it from the girls she's a drama queen on the level of trying to drag other people trying to get involved in it and so I've repeatedly found myself in stupid shit that I always managed to come out on top of but it does still get incredibly obnoxious inevitably every single time I wind up dealing with this drama it takes away from time that I would be spending doing other things outside of work so largely for that reason and just some other stuff I am looking for a different line of work looking at what else is out there it's not so bad that you know I quit immediately but it's just one of those things like I'm I'm not the kind of person for drama I have better shit so rather than be one of those people who fake doesn't like drama I'm not gonna just sit there pretend I don't like it while also constantly exacerbating shit with this person I'm just largely done with it further worsening things is that the girl I said I liked over the course of really just a few weeks after I mentioned that it wasn't that I mean that was a while ago that I had said that became rather apparent that while she's got a few traits that I definitely do look for a partner she's also got a few traits that I definitely do not want in a partner and that's okay you know she she's otherwise a pretty good person definitely seems to be one of the few genuine ones there and it's generally pretty pleasant so you know you just stay friends with the person I'm not saying that is any kind of bad thing I'm not down about that like it's it's okay not everything works out where the actual issue with this comes into play as her boyfriend is delightfully insecure I mean we're talking like roast video level of insecure because there's a lot that could be said about it I don't really want to get into it that much this this really isn't that kind of channel I pulled that lever what the fuck but yeah he's insecure the point where he can't even tolerate a guy which is just not good bad for her he's the one who cheated on her yet he's super worried about her doing shit that I can tell you right now she's leaving before she cheated I feel like if she probably if she didn't have to get leaving but I all I can say again I'm not saying she's completely innocent in the situation the same reasons why good very well be the same reason why they are having some problems that would not surprise me at all either I probably should have looked at that I forgot I had the randomizer on and I don't know what I just picked up that's brilliant so back to back to what I was saying another thing that has been taking away from my time I think that's probably the best way to put it is that sister has developed well has developed self-awareness I guess she's finally really admitted to the fact that she's not the family largely disowned her because I'm from a great family like that overly focuses on image and not dealing with anything so as as a result yeah a lot of that on the upside however I haven't completely stopped doing development in fact I've kind of been focusing more on development than I have on focusing more on development than I have on on videos because I can always make the videos later and that's basically what I'm what I'm going to be doing soon the VS Code extension Freda has gone some some enhancements at this point considering it largely does everything it's supposed to it's basically just continuously tracking down these little issues I've gotten quite a few of them done but there's there's still more you know at us a definitely a complicated language so there's a lot of a lot of those I need to track down and yes so that's gotten that's gotten some progress that did manage to hit over 10,000 total downloads recently and right about oh shit right about that time Microsoft did finally make it so you can see how many actual unique installs that is not just downloads they were sort of giving the wrong impression before and I it's nice that they separated the two the IDA as far as the added tools project goes it's it is going more than anything else I have been doing still been doing back-end stuff essentially in the most abstract sense things work the way I want but there's regular bugs there's regular little issues and what I've been doing or I mean several months now is fixing all of that so as far as features as far as anything to present goes nothing's really changing but it's going from like really buggy beta release to something that actually works so it is they are pretty big important changes they just don't there's nothing to really show off as far as I can tell there is only one more major bug in the added tools library that's preventing a beta release of the tools themselves I'm not sure if I mentioned it on YouTube I know I did make a post to Reddit that had this in there though the added tools library is in a beta release and is packaged there have been several revisions that's a thing people can play around with probably not going to be releasing the tools themselves for a while like I said I've got I've got a track down a problem and it's been a problem for a while I'm entirely sure how to get it fixed I will figure it out but it's just giving me quite a bit of trouble usually usually it takes me a few hours to track down a problem this one this one's definitely been giving me a lot of difficulty basically what's happening is that the build order is out of order it's largely correct and for most projects it is correct but if the if there are package units that their name comes alphabetically before generics and they depend on a generics package there is a good possibility but not a certainty but the build plan will have the generics package after the one that depends on it which is the wrong order but I you notice I said possibility not a certainty because there are actually times where the generics package will be after it like it's supposed to be or rather before it like it's supposed to be sorry sorry and it's really messing with things so yeah I looking into a good proper fix for that I could potentially just force all packages that start with generics to be built first since they would arguably need to be but the simple reality is it's more complicated than that and I do not want to enforce that as a hard requirement on the way generics are supposed to work I want it to be much looser than that plus the fact that this issue happens at all kind of indicates that it would happen in a project with other alphabetical out-of-order name however you want to describe that that it could happen with other projects and just simply pushing generics packages to always be built before doesn't actually solve that problem that would be a very hacky solution and I don't want to do that but yeah like I said once once that is done as far as I can tell everything should work enough for a beta release that obviously does not mean that everything will be working fine in dandy there should be plenty of problems but it should work in most cases there is one feature that definitely needs to be implemented for me to be able to build all of my projects which of course is something that I want to do and something that is holding it from being anything more than a beta release that is the ability to build variants most of my projects at this point do not have variants in them but there are intentions of that and the mathematics package for example well that the entire project that is I've already written a version of that before that does a lot of assembly code specific stuff on certain processor types and that would inevitably be a variant the project that is up on github is the rewrite which fixes a lot of things and just generally improves the whole thing I have not gotten around to rewriting the specific stuff so it's not that visible in a project like that however the the console project actually has a windows specific version of it where I fix some of the output stuff so that there isn't mojibake and that's you know that's that's important and you want to be able to use the windows variant when you're actually on windows so yeah that that isn't inevitably something but it's not a hard requirement really I can do the beta release without that and then just update the beta when that feature is implemented as for plans really beyond that I am sort of working on the on actually building up package repos been adding a little bit to a new tool called add a repo which you may have seen in the github repository it's it's largely empty at this point it doesn't really do much of anything but it is but it is there uh I am slowly adding stuff I've also got a publish command I think I put it with the add a package tool just because I'm thinking syntactically it publish a package I mean you could do the add a repo and like publish and specify the package that's just where I decided to put it once the repositories themselves are working correctly the next step would be to develop the actual package server given the fact that I am on windows primarily and the fact that servers do not work anywhere near close to the same on windows as they do on unix systems where they're called diamonds I am going to be doing a windows service first and then write a unix diamond this isn't just because of my own personal preferences this is also because I am posting these packages and understandably I I need to have some service work on the platform that I am using I'm still not sure on the distribution method I am leaning heavily towards torrents but I have never programmed without them before so I am not sure how well that will work get away from me to be fair though I really don't want to run the package server primarily on windows I would like to build up a dedicated server for this kind of stuff because right now I'm testing all the linux stuff linux compatibility and everything in a VM and I would really like to have a dedicated server both to test that obviously in an isolated environment not on the actual thing itself do like a linux-onlinux situation or something to isolate it safely but I do want to have a dedicated package server up would be hosted on on linux or a bsd or something you're not with those so a package server daemon is definitely yeah like like I was saying I am thinking probably torrents would be the best way to go about it's not even just because it would lighten the also it allows package updates to propagate much more efficiently through a business where you have you know the initial machine downloads from some outside source but once it has the thing one machine in the business can download directly from that which is much faster than two machines can download directly from those four machines download directly from those and it propagates very rapidly this is considerably better than each one downloading from one external source so yeah anyways I should be doing should be back to my more regular videos Thursday or Friday we'll see what work is like on those days those are my shorter days though so I tend to get out a little bit earlier well we'll see yeah I'm not I haven't left I just had shit actually got some of the content for video sort of done up I just need to actually like sit down and record the you know through the last little bits that everybody sees but that that isn't actually that much of it stuff itself so yeah I've got a video coming on variant records until then have a good one guys
