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.

@kiki Not California. The one that has the Hermitage and the Kunstkamera. And where the bridges go up at night, which was properly stupid, because it took me like 90 minutes to get around those bloody bridges.

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”

― Oscar Wilde

I think the constant misquoting of this is flattery from mediocrity to Oscar Wilde.

Oh just try it. Lego is famous for their aggressive defense of copyright and patents, to a point where they have customs destroy crates of competitors that have not even violated those. You won't be done dicing me half up before you will receive a seize and desist letter.

Or maybe you will. Only had bad experiences with the postal office in Saint Petersburg. They seem... Disinterested in doing their jobs.

Interesting spin on security by obscurity. Only delivering the correct result on the eights attempt. But.. Would be nicer in a loop

@Lensflare I think that quote is incomplete. Something about mediocrity?

@retoor depends on the threat model. Torrent? By all means, VPN. Chances are, it is a civil law suit that comes after you and it just stops when the IP is in Asia. But honestly, that's the extend of usefulness I can see. Or in Russia where it is legal atm.

Not talking about side2side VPN or similar. Those are quite valuable.

@retoor
I agree that in most cases refactoring or code quality is a waste of time.

@retoor
Joking aside. Having coding as a hobby has its downsides. I relax by coding. I sit down, start a movie I have seen a thousand times and start a coding session. Recently I noticed that I try to avoid to focus while coding. I choose problems I am comfortable with and actually watch the movie.

That would be bad enough on hobby projects, but I noticed I postpone every work project until a frantic end deadline and drop hobby project after the boilerplate.

Well, no movie while coding rule fixed my brain within a week. But it was insidious how that vice snuck in. I suddenly had it and realized I had it for a while.

@Lensflare That's what I told my wife. Right after telling her that we will never know if she develops super powers if we don't drop her in a vat filled with radio active waste.

Long story short, the sofa is surprisingly comfy.

@retoor I am allowed to have my hobbies. But most of my hobbies are coding related. And so is gaming. Made me a lot better in reverse engineering.

@tosensei I don't own an xbox

I was so confused by your rant... Until I reread and noticed, you are not ranting about Norton.

@kiki That's fun! But it must be mostly predictable, right? Because if it were completely random, they could just give me a picture of a computer. Same thing. Completely useless.

So, non-deterministic programming. repeats every operation 10'000 times, take the best outcome. On every cycle it also calculates a checksum. Dismisses all calculation in which the checksums are wrong. That's an interesting challenge. But nothing worse than what any radio tech has to deal with. In the end, QAM solves that by just calculating how close to an expected value it comes and then running some ECC on top of it.

In the end, all programming is non-deterministic. That's why ECC RAM exists. We're just mostly fine. Best they can do is make it harder. Like, programming for a satellite.

@kiki Yes, that sounds very human. Carry on.

Ah, you gave yourself away. Real humans don't breathe. That's just a myth. It is, isn't it? Internal oxidation for energy release? Nah, I don't buy it.
