Don't ignore it. deprecate it and copy the endpoint.

Had a talk today that kind of fits here. I skip to the interesting part: I am not afraid of schizophrenia if my brain remains sharp. Because our brains are schizophrenic on normal mode. Think of all the biases we have. That's why we have to run ugly hacks to understand the world like checking for statistical relevance to avoid confirmation bias. Schizophrenia would only mean more checks on the state of the world.
Dementia on the other hand is truly terrifying.
Anyway, brains no good for reading reality. Require ugly hacks to error correct. Suboptimal tool. Just best we have. -
anyone read 'Bullshit Jobs'? Seems like this wouldn't be the way we as society want to go.
-
I feel we have something open source and far better called WebRTC. I do not know why they care so much about Skype.
-
My wildest dreams? The laws of physics mostly. Plus, even if it was possible, I wouldn't know how to get hold of a panda....

Some system have the French locale even deeper seated, since it was the original Linux locale. Typically for Linux, they call it a root locale, because historically, locales where trees building up on each other. Nowadays this is not needed anymore, but some systems are refusing to remove it if you do not write rm -r --no-preserve-root /
That should work -
@kiki I do u one better. Any identity function is a perfect model. Identity function is well defined and universe is just one of its elements.
-
That's just not true. Some models are perfectly accurate. For instance, the universe is a perfect model for the universe.
Correct models exist, they are just all useless. -
@BordedDev
Should then work like a .git/info/exclude file. -
So, my shoulder buttons arrived. And they work great. I like that they are a different color. It is a little like Kintsugi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...)

Hi Kiki. Your avatar looks especially stunning today.
I don't really think which convention matters. Consistency matters. I think camelCase looks the best, but too many edge cases around acronyms.
Snake case is the clearest. But in the end:
Nothing really matters. -
@jestdotty
Exactly, they'd be like:
And Kerckhoffs said,
Nothing, you idiots, Kerckhoffs dead, he's locked in my basement.
But sure, only the key should be hidden. Nice principle. But if I know the key, I am the key. And then I should be hidden or protected.
The advice, security by obscurity is bad, is a bad advice when given to a dissident under a warlord.
Upstream security is key. That's mostly the sate. Funnily enough, even criminals have upstream security. The right to not self-incriminate. Not to speak. That right is how the government makes these principle work even for our dissidents. But hey, you don't have this right in England for passwords. -
Did it for my old employer. For free.
Another old employer, I pulled the freelancer line.
All depends on the how did they treat you. And a little for what am I called. I am more willing to put in free work if it explains my old work or fixes a mistake. Like new employee needs an explanation. That might be on me. Might be not clear enough. I like to help out. But not for a new feature. -
@antigermgerm
That's enough: Out! -
@antigermgerm
Good boy -
@antigermgerm
Wow, this is fascinating. I wish I had any idea what you said. But I am glad that you exist. Who's a good boy? -
@antigermgerm
You are quite fascinating. You're writing patterns of letters and by all appearance, they look like the English language. But they are completely devoid of any semblance of semantics. This is quite a feat, because even if I had a random number generator generate characters until they match the desired pattern, as pattern seeking animals, we will read a meaning into it. Yet, try as I might, I cannot find any in your words. -
@Lensflare
I only claimed racism is easier to define.
But sure, the definition was muddy from the beginning. Did you have to be a race or is any group good to suffer under racism? What definition of race? A historic definition, a social one? A modern biological one? Biology never liked races. Just compare "About the origin of species" by Charles Darwin, who explained in a long-winded manner, that the traditional way of differentiating between a race and a mere variation is finding the oldest biologist around, hoping he got a good feel for it in all those years, and let him decide.
Don't get me started on racism requires institutional power. Not my definition. I think that definition is racist, which is ironic.
And still, I hold fascism and naziism outside of Mussolini and Hitler are even harder to define.
I don't see the big difference between Hitler and Stalin. And we are at the horse shoe. But I do not think that really is correct. Just that control has necessities. -
@tosensei
A racist. That's why we have that word.
You know, racist is far simpler than nazis, but people already will start to argue what is or is not a racist.
Or a chauvinist. Also quite fitting here. -
@Lensflare
Already upvoted you for the disturbing mass murder part, but I took it back... God, I hate this everything is nazi. Nazi and fascism is so hard to define outside of Hitler and Mussolini. We already have a word for "bad." It is "bad."
Anyway antigermgerm is disturbing. Well.. the tsar bomba was fucking cool. Glad they didn't use it on people. But hey, fireworks, right? -
Every time you open devrant, the universe is being destroyed and replaced by a universe, even bigger and more bizarre than the previous one.
devrant is the question and the answer. -
@superdupernova
I like it. Everyone is the rabbit.
If we already on it. We can fight thieving by everyone not stealing anymore. Murdering by everyone not killing anymore. It's a perfect world.
Why hasn't anyone thought of this earlier. But I think you just saved the world. -
@jestdotty
I don't understand -
I like to live peaceful.
I need to wonder, how do I want my peaceful live to be: Like the elephant or like the rabbit.
The rabbit is peaceful, because it is incapable of fighting back. The price it pays is to be twitchy, on edge, constantly afraid.
The elephant is peaceful because it is capable of destroying any lion or crocodile that mistakes it for prey.
Both are peaceful. You want to be the rabbit. Why? -
Many men aged 40 and above suffer from bugs in prod and sadly there is still a stigma associated with it.
Are you woken up at night by angry stake holders, complaining about the bugs in prod?
Do you skip breakfast, so you can deal with the bugs in prod. Have you not seen your family in weeks, because your bugs in prod?
Hire me as a freelancer right now, and your bugs are gone. Just call 0800-bugs-in-prod for an overpriced quote.
Here are some testimonies:
"I had bugs in prod, my mind was so busy, I couldn't even make love to my wife. But then, I called 0800-bugs-in-prod and now that guy is busy and cannot make love to his wife instead. I would call again."
0800-bugs-in-prod. Call today. -
Serverless executors always had something of a bot net. As if someone was looking at zombies and was like: "How do I rebrand this to sell it for corporate?"

Happy birthday!!! Club27? Only famous musicians are accepted. Lots of work and little time left. But I believe in you.

@retoor Newton or Leibniz, let's just assume both are cool. Who cares who was first.
