  • japan has pretty harsh punishmemts for distirbuting “indecent” stuff and thus the industry self censors and turning penises and vaginas into mosaics seems enough to make everybody look the other way.

    so pretty much the same reason you probably won’t see naked breasts in american movies aimed at teens or kids, just with a different view on what’s seen as decent and what not and in which context.








  • knowing where something happens is not knowing what happens and especially not knowing why it happens.

    A big import of data caused a specific datapoint to be inserted twice into the database, but that only happened in our shared testing environment not in our development environment, logs made it clear that we tried to insert something twice into a join table but not why.

    the fix was easy, we can remove the duplicated datapoint from our data before writing it to the database, and we found an edgecase we can handle further upstream so we don’t end up duplicating it in the first place, but why didn’t we run into this issue in dev?

    the data is consumed from a kafka topic with a single partition and read order is allways the same as write order, so our service behaves the same way if the same data is written to the topic everytime, but it turns out the producer does not necessarily write in the same order to the topic given the same input and gaining that understanding was a goose chase with debuggers, logs and combing through code of multiple services written by multiple devs working at multiple companies and thats the true horror of enterprise development jobs, teying to get someone from a different team or even company on the phone who can actually explain something to you with whom you can analyse a bigger part of a system.



  • i’d guess most christians see it as a symbol for the sacrifice jesus made for them, even though the catholic church official stand is that the bread is jesus actual body and the wine is his blood in the ritual of communion.

    i think overall it’s just to abstract to register as canibalism, even though people feasting on their saviour is a funny thought.








  • oh i hate that.

    I was promised to work on projects, projects by definition have an end date, which would mean i’d work on new projects after a given time, because old projects are done.

    the projects?

    • keeping this boring ass old product running!
    • building a product and keeping it running.

    i don’t mind the keeping it running part so much, i mind that those are my “projects” until someone decides they don’t want the product anymore.

    hells for boring ass old project, there is basically zero new stuff, just cleaning up messes earlier devlopers left.
