Depressingly, I suspect an executive would consider me far less productive because I only did 5 lines of change and the junior dev would have done thousands...
Probably the very same execs that use phrases like "Do more with less!" and then completely miss the point when true efficiency stares them in the face.
Definitely contenders, but they'd need to have killed themselves and/or their offspring in the process to win the prize (or caused their own infertility before having kids, but those are really rare).
I'm convinced that Doritos nacho cheese dip is closer to a fossil fuel than a dairy product. I still eat it though 🤤
Imagine if, in 2019, you got a flash-forward to that statement. I wonder what terrors your imagination would conjour up, and whether they'd be better or worse than reality.
I'd settle for the powerful people just not being dicks anymore.
Looks like it might be AI to me. Check the right hand and the bit of book near it. Also, most of the words are illegible and have that telltale AI smear.
Yes, but IIRC they just happened to be the location of the hell portal that humans disturbed, and hell started leaking out. The depiction of Phobos and Deimos as hell-like was after the leakage. The third part of original Doom was back on Earth when the leakage had spread there, and it looked exactly like the hell of the Mars moons.
I wouldn't bet money on that being exact, but that's how I remember it.
It was a joke. You see, I was suggesting that a place with lots of sharks might be called "Shark", in keeping with the point of the original post.
I am aware that most shark attacks are due to mistaken identity, but it wasn't meant to be taken too seriously.
Perhaps the reason sharks came to mind before any other animals is because I read this article a couple of days ago: https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/surfer-bitten-in-half-7232230.html
It stands out because the way it was reported makes it sound like the sharks executed a coordinated attack on the surfer. But, again, I didn't expect to get cross-examined on what I intended to be a humorous remark.
Regular visitors to Sharks would like a word.
Any time they get asked questions like "Are my messages visible only to me?", they answer with a very canned response like "Your messages are encrypted from end-to-end and can't be read by anyone while in transit" ... or words to that effect. I have never seen them state that no analytics or telemetry is happening on the unencrypted side by the client. Which has always bothered me.
Back at the start WhatsApp wasn't free, although it was pretty cheap. Then Meta bought it and made it free. Some time after that, the founders left and started Signal.
The E2E encrypted protocol WhatsApp used to use was the Signal protocol. When the OG founders left and created Signal they revamped it, calling it the Signal V2 protocol. Whether WhatsApp still uses that original Signal protocol or not is probably not known to many people outside of Meta, but WhatsApp definitely used to be E2E encrypted prior to Meta's purchase.
I deleted my WhatsApp account around the time Meta announced they were merging all of their messaging stuff together, e.g. Facebook Messenger, Instagram etc.
That was part of its charm for me. Red Dwarf was the same; the lack of budget somehow made it funnier.
