At least they’re being honest saying it’s powered by ChatGPT. Click the link to talk to a human.

There’s something called blast freezer, which is basically a freezer with fans inside, like what convection ovens have. It cools down food much faster than a standard freezer.

My job estimated our VMware cost will be 10 times more expensive. We’re moving to the cloud as soon as possible.

This actually sad. If true, it means the owner was the last member of their family.

Bullshit. They were born this way mainly because they were born rich.

It wouldn’t be a big loss. That painting is ugly as hell.

I’m always amazed by how the store near (Canada) me is always full. I don’t know I people are there to buy merch or what, but they’re never empty.

I have a little bit of experience in this. Brazilian living in Quebec. So, my friends almost always spoke in Portuguese with their children, school and TV were in French. After some time, school starts also to teach English and they chose the language of the TV. Now the kids are almost always speaking in English, although the are fluent in Portuguese and, of course, French.

Now, my wife and I hated the TV in French, so we kept it in English. So, my kids had to deal with three languages from the start. They mixed everything up and we screwed up by saying words in all three languages. We speak mainly Portuguese but we would use words that they learned in other languages in those languages instead of in Portuguese. In the end, my kids mix all three languages in a single sentence, which is weird as hell. They’re slowly separating the languages and we too. Now, every sentence we speak is in a single language. Their friends help in a way, because they also speak French in class but English outside (and Quebec’s government hates that).

So, if both of you are Portuguese speakers, I’d only speak Portuguese with them and let the TV and school teach English. They’ll know how to keep things separated.

And that’s why we can’t have nice things.

So, let me tell a little story from a couple of months ago. We were migrating a big system and we discovered that it was still sending fax to some destinations. We still have a fax server running. The way it works is that we send an email to @fax.mycompany.com and it will send the fax to that number.

So, we contacted the destinations and some declared that they didn't even had faxes anymore. BUT, a few others still had them and, what a surprise, it was a fax server that would receive the fax... and transform it in an email!

Of course, we changed those services and retired the fax server.

Brazil did this years ago. We see in the package “new weight, from X to Y, reduction of N%”. And nothing actually came out of it. Everyone does, we have to buy it, shit stays the same.

I don’t know. For example, astrophotography seems interesting when you see amazing pictures of distant galaxies and stuff. But the actual process of taking thousands of photos and processing them seems super boring to me. Actually, any kind of photo post processing I find super boring. For years I used Lightroom in my photos. Now, I can’t do that shit anymore.

It’s not panic. We already have direct connects to AWS and Azure. It’s something we’ve been working on for five years now.

For a bit, this was true for my daughter. She started to call me “dahddy” when she was into Peppa Pig. It didn’t last long, though.

When you see “Net weight” or a symbol that looks like a big minuscule “e”, it means that the package weight doesn’t count.

That feels like the hotel from John Wick series.

Black Mirror was good when it was British. The American version is crap.

No one cares about my privates.

My family name is Carvalho (oak). I asked my then 8 years old son to sign his passport and he wrote “Caralho”. I’ll let you search that on Google with the safe search OFF.

It’s a good way to create martyrs.

Chef’s kiss for the image, with its brown trail.

Catapult??? Please… everybody knows the trebuchet is better.

Well, go big or go home. I’m sure he met Jesus Christ personally and he knows where Excalibur is hidden.

Hey, I heard Boeing is hiring assassins. It’s in high demand!

More. I downloaded The Last Wish in PDF I think, but I forgot I had bought the book. After a spring cleaning I found a second copy of the book I had bought.

Living in Quebec for the past 18 years, I’ve seen plenty of ICE cars dead in parking lots and driveways when the temperature drops. It’s usually the battery. But the car, when it starts, it makes a really strange noise.

I miss upsidedowndogs.

Happy mint!

I was looking at some old pictures of my family and some of them had dates like 921 for 1921 in them. I used to abbreviate 88 for 1988, but I’ve never seen people using 3 digits like that.

I’d argue that the total number of children that Sant has to give a present is much smaller than the number of children in the world. I’d also argue that he actually has 24 hours to do the job, and not “a night”.

I was recently in Brazil and it amazes me how the country adopted the platform. You can do everything in it. And it’s not that you’re always talking to someone on the other side. It’s all automated. Remember those gigantic labyrinths of menus you had to listen when calling a business? Now it’s all in WhatsApp, but with the advantage of being much faster to read. I asked for a service in a company, they gave me a protocol number. When I wanted to check on it, I just had to type the number on WhatsApp and it would tell me if it was ready. So, no need to develop GUI, sites, and so on. Everything is accessible through WhatsApp.

So, I understand why Meta rolled this out and started with Brazil.

In the end, it feels like we made full circle and we’re coming back to the Telnet era of doing business.

So does that means devices or people around me would be able to use my internet quota?

So sad they discontinued the chicken wings. It was sooo good.

If everyone is driving 10mph above the speed limit, we’re back to square one.

Probably to disrupt the temperature gradient that forms around the can. That’s why we blow air on though the top of a hot drink to cool it faster.

I can see it.

Are you entering hyperspace?

The pen is mightier than the sword or something like that.

Wholesome warrior.
