I learn amazing things, and meet awesome people, and introduce them to each other.
I have not read in this century a paid-to-be-written article about gamers written by a professional text content creator (aka so called "journalist") that was worth the oxygen consumed by that writer.
finished reading "Ignition: an informal history of liquid rocket propellants". I want to read another one, about the history of the machines themselves: tanks, plumbing, pumps, injectors, and reaction chambers.
I would what it would take to get Signal to be one of the messaging apps available gratis on Gogo? next to iMessage, WhatsApp, and Viber
When I read a news media article, I play a fun game: how much of the stupid is from the quoted sources, and how much is from the reporter? I wish I could go back to having Gell-Mann Amnesia, it was more comfortable.
on this day in 2007, I checked in at FOO Camp at the O'Reilly Media hq in Sebastopol. It's hard to overstate how much impact that next week would have on my career.
The only thing that will successfully force a corporate swdev team to not break a spec is unforgiving unyielding savage interop testing with a completely different implementation maintained by a different team that is beyond the reach of corporate politics.
I just realized that Star Trek Tribbles are Chtorr Meeps. Which means that the Kingons were entirely correct to despise and eradicate them, Kirk was luckier than he deserved, and the Federation just narrowly averted a multi-planetary ecological catastrophe.
What worklog tools do y'all use? By which I mean "i did this, then i did that, then i call them, and did the thing, and the confirmation number for the thing was foo, and then i went to that meeting, and got the following 3 action items..."
The yahoo "getmydata" claims to have no data from my old messenger account. I know that's not right, there should be thousands of lines of cringyworthy chat transcripts.
Today at work at the end of the day, I achieved inbox zero. Not tickets zero, or todos zero, but I will take the victories I can.
"Deep learning systems aren’t magic; they’re just eyes that see hyperplanes of relatedness in high-dimensional vector spaces."
TFW you remember that some event was in a dream, not in the real.
Don't you love it when the "do the thing" button is greyed out without telling you why? Me too! Hey, UX people, everyone loves you when you do that.
uptime 317 days, reboot required :/
Something that I have missed having in my life for the past year is mentoring. I like to hope that when I have some space and time again, another student will turn up.
You can always tell a "FAQ" document written by a marketing department. Start with the uselessness, and go down from there...
"Either you defend principles, in which case you ought to defend the outgroup against ingroup members that violate the principles; or you go tribal. If you go tribal, the other side has no reason to take your principles seriously, because they are fake principles that get called on to help friends and forgotten when doing so allows one to hurt the other."
When your display monitor is large enough, the maximize button is no longer your friend.
Because #Kilva needs to inspect the weekly veggie delivery.
