I say this with all appropriate irony: as the guy that deployed it at for Wikipedia, yes.

I have absolutely no idea when I expect the y axis to be inverted or not. Every new game I expect the opposite of how it is.

Did, I guess. For the past ten years. All 3d games make me too sick to play them these days.

There is still fun to be had! Just… Different fun!

In database land lookup tables are pretty common. Prefix tries and the like are super common in search land. I’ve seen GCD, offset, delta-of-delta, and some funky bitwise floating point compression used. Sometimes just to save dist space. But usually to save working set space or IO or S3 cache space.

And squeezing the most out of modern CPUs is its own art. Compilers are glorious. And modern CPUs are magic lightning rocks. But you can learn to sing to them just right to make them all happy.

I’ve been in the industry since 2001 and think maybe once I had a one-meeting cycle.

Inaccurate garbage.

I use Arch because I’m old and set it up just the way I want it years ago and never have to change or reinstall. How dare you accuse me of, what was it, being a cranky asshole?! Wait.

It’s cute. Thanks for posting.

The way y’all collect garbage is pretty unique. The rats involved there are impressive.

8/10.

Software engineer. Respected across a small public tech company. Most folks who do 30 seconds of GitHub snooping are impressed. There’s a decent chance you’ve used code I wrote. Hopefully it keeps working.

No idea how to use Windows. Or mac. Lots of missing network and security stuff. Struggle every time I have to do python package management. Terrified of C++.

I felt the same way about the characterization. I thought it might be a translation thing. I don’t know that many folks that read it in Chinese, but I’m leaning towards “no, it’s just like that.”

It’s a fun series to read a wiki about.

It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people.

Bitter gourd curry. Was so so so bitter. I’ll bet it tastes different to different folks.

Reminds me of a migraine medicine. I have to eat candy for a few hours after taking that.

I think Linux has grown beyond the good will from contributors. I got the sense most folks do this as part of their job.

So it’s not your boss. It’s someone who you have to make happy to do your job. And your boss can’t help. Quitting won’t help. Not if you want to work on the kernel.

It really does drive people away. I’m not good enough for the kernel, but there’s a project I could contribute to as part of my job but I don’t because there are mean folks there. My first contribution there was met with cursing.

Saw it twenty five years ago. Never again.

I was never a fan either. Doki Doki Literature Club was good though.

Mine is.

I’ve been using a sonicare for years now. I think it was expensive but it’s lasted forever and does a great job.

I was bored on an airplane a while back and discovered a Japanese movie adaptation of A Door Into Summer: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_door_into_summer

It’d been 25 years since my mom read the story to me so I can’t tell you how accurate the adaptation is but it hit the parts I remembered.

My entire professional persona is tied to the username I thought was super cool when I was 12. I’m so glad it’s not offensive and only a little lame.

I read Snowcrash when I was twelve and super wanted to live in that world. Then I read it again when I had twelve year old kids. Boy did it hit different.
