Idiot proofing the app is harder than actually building the functionality

Beta tester: "there's a bug in the app"

Me: "why would use it like that?"

Building the desired functionality isn't bad. It's trying to find all the ways someone might misuse it and prevent them from fucking up their own work that's difficult.

Different outcomes between mobile and desktop

PLEASE HELP

​

I have an app meant to take pics.

Test and dev currently use the same formulas

​

Pics taken are put into a collection and the collection is sent to a power automate flow as json(PicsCollection, jsonformat.includebinarydata)

​

Test environment works just fine

Dev environment only works on desktop

Dev environment does not work on mobile

​

Everything was until last night!

​

When I look at the power automate runs, it shows the desktop dev version as coming through as base64.... but on the mobile runs come in as session storage.

When I do the same in the Test environment, it comes through as base64...

​

I've tried rolling back dev to previous versions but nothing is working. Please help

What would you with your hair during the apocalypse?

As I mentally prepare myself for wash day, the thought struck me, what would I do with my hair during an apocalypse?

By apocalypse I mean anything from zombie apocalypse, robot uprising, alien and/or doppelganger invasion, even climate apocalypse or mam made war. The key to this apocalypse question is that you're probably always the go or battling it out. However if you choose to bug in or hunker down in a fortress, I'd like to hear about that too.

My ideal is a walker only zombie apocalypse. I don't think I'd have the time nor resources to properly detangle and deep condition or use heat tools. It'll also be hard to get braids done beyond really basic plaits.

I have considered that an apocalypse might be the one scenario in which I shave my head but I do also think I'd try 16 basic plaits especially if I can access to a blow dryer.

What are your plans?

"Interview style" dating is actually the best for dates 1 and 2

I hear a lot of guys say that dating is like "being interviewed". A lot of questions about serious topics and goals and timelines. These guys want dates to feel like easy hang out sessions instead

I actually think interview style is the best early on. Especially if you meet via dating app or something where you don't already know the person, interview style let's you quickly figure out if yall are compatible in the major topics and desires. If aligned, then use the next dates to see if yall vibe.

Often if you start out just vibing then you get attached. Then discover that yall aren't actually compatible/ aligned. By this point, it's harder to let go. You want to find ways to keep the person you're incompatible with but have a good time with. Doing interview style cuts off incompatible people before you get caught up in the fun of dating.

Help needed: friend's bf liked me on hinge

I got the notification this morning and took screenshots. The photos are definitely him, although the name is different. I did not like the profile back to match but I haven't left swiped it away either.

I don't think I can call myself a good friend and remain silent. Idk how to approach this though.

Advice? They just had a baby last month.

Edit: talked to our mutual friend. They may not actually be together romantically. But that is at least her baby daddy. He does know who I am. I hosted their baby shower. I'm going to tell her tonight. At worst, they are together and he's a cheater. At best, they're not together and he's just weird/disrespectful for hitting on her friend.

It's not because women were more motherly, traditional, and loving, it's not because they wanted more farm workers, it's not because they needed additional children in case some died.

With a few exceptions (like nobility trying to ensure their spot), women had babies because babies are the natural result of sex. In the patriarchal world, where you couldn't be a single woman and survive, women got married and didn't commonly refuse sex to their husbands.

This doesn't even take into account how many children were conceived via prostitution and rape.

Most women throughout history were partnered in some manner. I say in some manner, because usually (depending on the culture, time period, abd social class discussed) it was not some age appropriate mutually loving choice of partner. Women, practically girls, were wedded to a man and turning him down for sex was not acceptable. At best he'd get another wife and you'd be left to fend for yourself, at worse, you'd be beaten.

Yes, we know that women still had babies during famine and war. That's because women still had sex during famine and war. Maybe some of that sex was actually rape. Maybe some was quasi prostitution for a few resources. Maybe some was because you were still married, and war/famine doesn't make men less horny. But women didn't have babies during these times because they loved kids, or had hope for the future, or wanted a retirement plan. It's because hard times have never impacted men's desire for sex and women who were attached to men had to give it to them.

All that said, please stop with the "money doesn't matter. Women had babies during [insert terrible time history here] " nonsense. Women in the past did not want to be pregnant or have kids during terrible times. The high birth rate of the past was by and large due to women's lack of sexual agency to refuse. Men didn't care if the sex they demanded caused babies and women didn't have the power to say "no sex because I don't want another baby".

Natalism needs to focus on why kids should be wanted now and making it easier to have them if you want them. Not just have kids at any cost.

The end.
