Respectfully. Fuck off

Top 3 worst phrases to say during sex:
3. My grandpa died on this couch
2. Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
1. Scared, Potter?

I just had a thought about apex predators and climate change and that led me to Fermi's paradox.

The easiest way to tackle climate change is strongly reducing the amount of humans on the planet. That's just a fact. What's hard is to find a humane way of doing it. And like probably most of you, I don't want to be reduced personally. Neither do I want to see my friends or family culled, so let's keep this at the level of a thought experiment.

I was then wondering if we are too peaceful. Shocking thought, isn't it? But we stopped using nuclear weapons after two usages for decades. We do not constantly kill each other as effectively as possible.

Then I was wondering if there is a evolutionary benefit of killing each other constantly. And yes, giving the premise of kin selection (not group selection), killing each other could be a beneficial trait. Here's a scenario:

We have an apex predator. What is his biggest threat? His own species. If it grows too big, there is no prey left for it. It would therefore be advantageous for it to kill of its own species. But in a way to ignore its own kin. For instance, give one of those predators a number. Like 200. And assume every offspring has the same number, but randomly added or subtracted 1. And assume that when the number has at least a distance of greater five, the killing starts. No overpopulation, but kin selection is still upheld. Just implement this system with pheromones.

This behaviour would avoid a climate catastrophe. Not enough of the apex predator around to create climate change, no matter how much they'll drive their cars. And as such might end up spacefaring. But still killing each other on sight, because it is in their nature and culture.

And as such, they would not experience geometric growth and thus the Fermi paradox is resolved. And we have another potential and very scary hypothesis about why there aren't any aliens. Only species that cull themselves will enter the space age and they would cull us if the found us. So better we don't meet them.

I keep seeing comments like “This should be on spotify” under youtube videos. Guess what — I download them with youtube to mp3 converter, drag n drop them into apple music, and boom, it syncs to my phone. They live among apple music-native tracks. They don’t eat up icloud space (I don’t use icloud), and they don’t disappear when apple music subscription expires. I don’t know any music streaming service that has everything in hi-res or lossless and allows that.

Guy talking with me a month ago:
Me: So you wanna take over project x now or shall I stay po/dev lead for some other months until you are worked in?
Guy: No, No it's fine lets continue for a while like this. Just assign me tickets and review my PRs.

Guy talking to Boss a month later:
Guy: There is no perspektiveeeee. I want to leaeaeaead! I want responsibilitiiiiiii.

Wtf do you want.

A quick rant during work.
I like my coworkers, I really do but they've been so annoying the past few days ever since one of them bought a small nerf gun. Now three others have one too and they're constantly shooting at each other. They bought one of these nerf guns that you have to pull at the bottom to load it and they're pretty loud when you want to work.
I swear to god I'll go home and work from there if that continues

An army general is newly stationed in a desert post. On his first day, he calls for a soldier to show him around. While doing this, he notices a camel randomly tied to a tent.

He asks the soldier, “Soldier, why is that camel tied to the tent?”

The soldier looks awkward and answers, “Er, well Sir, as you know there are no women on the base so er, the camel is there for when the men get certain…um…urges”

The general nods in understanding And says, “Well I don’t condone this behaviour, but I suppose I understand”

A few weeks into the post, the general starts feelings these urges himself. He calls for the soldier to bring the camel to his tent. He then goes outside, gets a stool, and has wild animal sex with the camel.

After he’s finished, he climbs confidently off of the stool and sees the soldier staring at him, wide-eyed.

“So” the general says with a grin, “Is that how you boys do it here?”

The soldier answers, still wide-eyed, “No Sir, we usually just ride the camel into the nearby town where the women are”

> Startup: ok listen up, we got this super cool thing we want to do with Twilio. Doesn't get any easier: some calls to book a restaurant, you ask for booking data and save that on some db.
> iHateForALiving: I'm on it. We got a couple weeks of development, never worked with Twilio, but should be easy enough
> Startup: Hold it big guy, we can't just write code like this. There's this OTHER developer with a super cool framework he wrote himself, it supports OAuth2 and multitenancy, written in Huskell, microservices to authenticate several apps all working concurrently in our environment, some orchestrator, cloud computing on AWS, you're going to love it. There's this Postman project with 200-something calls (the ones I need for my project, one and only consumer for those APIs, are 5 including the login)
> iHateForALiving: You are aware you'll have approximately six clients and they'll pay some 30 bucks each per month, aren't you?
> Startup: You don't understand, this infrastructure is CRITICAL for the future of our company
> ffwd 6 months
> iHateForALiving: guys we had this 2 weeks project and it's taking months, I'm ready, what is going on there?
> Startup: someone killed our DB, the OTHER developer pushed on git the access credentials :(

THE FULL MOON IS DRAWING NEAR AND THE FUCKING WERECODERS STRIKE AGAIN!

Fuck apple, and fuck xcode.
Making and running android app was a breeze.
Making and running ios app was hell.
Expectation : I should have gotten everything I need just by installing xcode and flutter.

Reality : I need to install these from the terminal : xcode command line tools, homebrew, ruby, cocoapods, firebase-cli. Also I need to manually add many stuffs, such as google login url into xcode project settings. Also we can simply test run our app or install to our device, and iphone we owned, we need to register in apple developer program, fill a full form, blah blah blah.

When it comes to android, I only need to register an account much much later, when I want to publish it to the playstore.

Yeah, getting laid is all cool and stuff,

But have you ever burped a stomach pain away?

FE freelancing. Worth it? or just a bigger depressed state?

My father recieved 150 grands of inheritance. Immediately put the whole of it into the stock market - that went down right away.

You could have kept a bit of it to lend me ffs, I was trying to launch my own agency and have no income. Asshole.

In 1 word: SUCKS
In 2 words: SUCKS HARD

Basically you work in companies that are either not tech oriented and use you as an extra (eg: fix printer, sort boss fantastic vacation pictures in his overpowered Mac) or if the company main business is tech, they are FANGS-wannabe that pretend to compete with world biggest companies with a severely understaffed crew that they pay as clerks

Massive backpain yesterday. Was okay when I woke up but still 4/10. Went to the gym. Pain is gone. Yay

One of team member was showcasing their time series modelling in ML. ARIMA I guess. I remember him saying that the accuracy is 50%.
Isn't that same as a coin toss output? Wouldn't any baseline model require accuracy greater than 50%?

I don't like how the hardware industry is so far ahead than the software industry. Almost all new hardware invented these days are a massive overkill for any software that is out there.

Qualcomm Snapdragon has 8 Gen 2 chips out but there aren't any android games that need more than Snapdragon 888.

NVIDIA has RTX 4090 out but there aren't any games that need more than RTX 2070 to run with good FPS.

PS5 and Xbox Series X have a very little library of games that can't run on a previous gen console.

Day 1 of working out + no ejaculation

And that's a wrap.

MS Teams with multiple work accounts account swap flow:

1. Try to close the company-bound login modal 10x while being fast enough to also close the main Teams window.
2. Realize it's not gonna work, so login with the account you don't want to be on.
3. Have to type your phone pincode then accept the MS Authenticator login, and retype your pin code.
4. Finally logged in just to log back out and get the generic account choice modal so repeat step 2 & 3 with the correct account.

Slack's android app crashes if I hold a message to put my emoji reaction on it.

A Microsoft Teams call link needs to be opened in 4-5 tabs only one of which works and actually lets you join the call.

Droidcam's Ubuntu client suddenly stops working even when you're using a wired connection instead of WiFi.

Modern software is in the gutter. Change my mind.
