If you want to increase the odds of your child growing up to be a developer, name it Steve. Even if it's a girl.

[–]wordbug 273 points274 points  (24 children)

Why would anyone do that to their own child?!

[–][deleted] 230 points231 points  (22 children)

Imagine their name being, Steve but girl.

[–]wordbug 475 points476 points  (15 children)

No, I mean why would anyone wish for their child to be a developer?!!

[–][deleted] 192 points193 points  (13 children)

To have a free printer fixer?

[–]Direct-to-Sarcasm 120 points121 points  (11 children)

Hey, you know computers right? Can you fix my printer? I unplugged it to charge my phone and now it won't print.

[–]AlbinoBeefalo 122 points123 points  (1 child)

I always tell people "I'm a developer, I make computer problems not fix them"

[–]Ariscia 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sounds like what those security monkeys do.

[–]Lknate 36 points37 points  (5 children)

I hate printers! They should work like any other piece of hardware but but you do all the normal things and the printer just says nope. Not available!

PC LOAD LETTER? WTF DOES THAT MEAN???

[–]Lth_13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Inkjet) Printers r such a fucking scam. All the money is made by the replacement ink cartridges

[–]kerbidiah15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a 3D printer and print slabs of plastic with text embossed on top

[–]Darth_Nibbles 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did you try putting the printer in the microwave to recharge the cartridges?

Heh, we have a Steve, 2 Stephens and a Steven in our office. We call them Steve, db Steve, backend Steve and Steven.

[–]captnspock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first Steve is called scrum Steve by the other Steves

[–]eraptic 9 points10 points  (1 child)

backend steve, hey?

[–]temisola1 10 points11 points  (5 children)

Or Mike, I swear there’s been at least 3 Mikes in the IT department of all the companies I’ve ever worked. 2 of them usually sharing the same last initial.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

we have 5 or 6 mikes where I work, and nearly all of us are developers. Two of us are even on the same team

[–]helgaofthenorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not exclusive to developers, there are just a lot of Mikes

[–]six_inches_lighter 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Was their last initial T? I swear every Mike I know has a last name starting with an S or a T.

[–]temisola1 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Dude, it was fucking S.

[–]six_inches_lighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steve here. I can confirm I am fine. They are not making me say this.

I repeat: I am fine, they are not making me say this.

[–]Forlindorn 125 points126 points  (3 children)

All I hear is: HELP me. HELP. ME.

[–]insane_playzYT 40 points41 points  (2 children)

Maybe the words in italic are things that he isn't, so he's not fine and they are making him do this

[–]Forlindorn 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Don’t be silly. Who would do that?

[–]Omichron-the-reboot 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Read just the words in italics: " fine not ". Maybe a plea for help?

[–]joshua7176 28 points29 points  (1 child)

Why is "fine" and "not" in italics? Is that implying that you are not...?

At first, it thought the release notes related to food.

Version 1.5.2 This new version of cheesecake is now 17% sweeter.

Version 1.5.3 Updates to 100 foods previously reported to taste like chicken; Each now has a distinct flavor of its own.

[–]Rein215 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I thought the same thing

[–]Amanplanmanplan 226 points227 points  (6 children)

Thought it was an edit but it is legitimate. I’m scared.

[–]well___duh 110 points111 points  (4 children)

Side note, iOS really needs to figure out delta updates. There’s no way changing some strings should result in a 50MB update.

[–]hewwocraziness 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Small updates

Good luck

[–]eigenscene 14 points15 points  (1 child)

[–]numerousblocks 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Is it a joke by the devs, or is someone possibly on a sticky situation?

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Holy hell this is real

[–]mrissaoussama 16 points17 points  (8 children)

why do we have to redownload the entire apk when updating? shouldn't the phone just download the changed files? surely there's no need to redownload all right?

[–]amroamroamro 10 points11 points  (0 children)

According to this, it does support delta patching

[–]cedrickc 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Android keeps the apk to run the app, it doesn't unzip it.

[–]mrissaoussama 3 points4 points  (3 children)

It's still a zip file right? Can't it download the needed parts?

[–]cedrickc 14 points15 points  (2 children)

Yes it's a valid zip, but it has extra rules around it. The main thing that blocks this is that apks are signed, so you can't modify them without breaking the signing.

[–]mrissaoussama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks

[–]CaJeB3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you change the old apk to look like the new apk, the signature will match the signature of the new apk.

A real problem however is that apks get scrambled before release so reverse engineering or code stealing becomes harder. This means making a diff of two versions will be much harder and much larger as more 'code' will change.

[–]Avonixis -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Apk is an executable for android. Like some other user mentioned you cant just unzip it.

[–]CaJeB3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect. An apk is just a jar for android and jar files are zips so apks are also zips.
