Microsoft relocated me to the Seattle area in 2005. I went full time remote about four years ago. I'm too lazy to move. I'd like to live elsewhere, but SeaTac is well connected and I like the weather.

I'm glad the embarrassing stuff I did at age 19 isn't out there. RAF: people grow and change.

I feel like - you had one job? Try harder? I don't know. I understand your annoyance completely.

Even when you tell people it doesn't help. The compass rose in the floor of the Spokane airport is rotated incorrectly. If you visit, it's down at the end of the rental car area by the last sets of doors.

One of the side effects of the weight loss surgery I got is a very high "cure" rate for T2 diabetes. A couple of the 10+ year veterans are back to active management, but usually, you're done with insulin injections.

This is a huge problem for the open source project I work on. New users are overwhelmed with channels to plumb, and search is not great. I'm open to advice on how to wean our project from chat to email (probably?) Or some better platfo

There are two within a short walk of my place. They're pretty cool! On summer evenings there are frequently parents with kids reading on the bench or picking up a book.

In my experience, any 3d printed item needs a lot of work to make it functional. It isn't as easy as hitting print and walking away. Making one with a router and a cutting board is tedious, but I've done it and the result was func

Barrels, in the US at least, are trivial to replace.

Easier to make a lower out of cutting boards, wood, or Lego than 3D print one. The lower isn't universally the serialized part. In some places, it's the barrel.

Cooper's four rules: https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2011/5/18/jeff-coo... NRA's three rules: https://gunsafetyrules.nra.org You'll often see the Cooper rules slightl

Sure. I wanted to avoid the argument over Cooper rules versus NRA rules; I wanted to emphasize that regardless of the rules you use, you need to break multiple rules. The rules interlock.

Breaking one rule of firearm safety won't lead to death or injury. Breaking two at the same time might. It is not one failure. It is at least two.

Linus and I draw our paychecks from the same place: The Linux Foundation. I've only been there three and a half years, but the "no brilliant assholes" line in the hiring process has always rung hollow. Glad to see this is bei

I've tried three times to rent a manual car at Schiphol, and ended up with an automatic each time. I also noticed that my Uber drivers almost always drive automatics in Amsterdam. I know, plural of anecdote is not data. Oh well. My 199

I was in Made, Netherlands, this summer and saw they had per-neighborhood/per-street signs for WhatsApp groups that the police monitored. I thought that was a little rich for such an isolated berg - the biggest crimes there probably de

You have more experience than I have, obviously, because I'm only involved in running one bounty program on H1. I have not been impressed with H1. Perhaps my opinion will change as our program matures, but I am not optimistic. I think

My experience is hackerone reports are almost 100% low effort spam, managed in an opaque manner. I would not choose it as a platform for a new bug bounty program.

People committing suicide in Seattle, jumping from the 99 bridge, led to at least one PTSD retirement from Adobe. People seemed not to want to land in the water, but on land, and the Adobe area was apparently an inviting target.

One very small irony is the Linux Foundation (my employer) is based in LDAC, and shares facilities with ILM/Lucas. It's been fun watching the run up to this new foundation becoming public. Had to pick a new acronym due too namespa

I used to live in Kingsgate. There is a section of 124th that runs parallel to 124th. It breaks Google maps :)

Google has an office in Kirkland, where I live, and I understand some folks work on Google Maps. The data in and around Kirkland is not great. I realized that people that live and work in Kirkland would probably have no reason to discover h

Talking with my new sister certainly has changed my opinions on nature versus nurture and freewill.

I found an older half sister via one of these tests. The demotion from oldest to second oldest has been a bitter pill, but having a new older sister is pretty neat!
