I use a small USB switcher box to let me control my personal machine and my work machine at the same desk. I also use a keyboard that lets me flip a switch to change between Mac/Windows layouts. It has been very helpful to let me clean

It's not that it isn't tedious, but the workflow is a lot more reliable. Refactor, `cargo check`, fix the errors, repeat. When there are no more errors, it is very likely the code will still work. I would say C++ is mostly the sam

I've so far used successfully it for: - Larger, more annoying reformatting tasks when Copilot isn't cutting it. Stuff like turning Go's variable dumps into JSON. I'm too lazy to write a tool to do it really. - I ha

Mouth movements in particular tend to set off my uncanny valley senses too. I was recently playing God of War (2018), a very pretty game but when I paid close attention to the mouth movements as the characters speak it was noticeably low-fi

Most of my open source contributions have come from necessity, either for work or for a side project. I would say you should look at tools and libraries that you use frequently, especially if there is something small about them that you thi

Go is definitely easier and more productive when you're operating in the happy path of web development with simple requirements and little tricky business logic. I wrote two extremely similar web services, one in Go and the other in Ru

Not an expert in either technology but I would imagine a lot of the difficulties of speech to text (bad recording conditions, variety of accents & pronunciation differences, etc) also have analogues in computer recognition of hand signs

That's a pretty funny but insightful perspective tbh. It shows a good ability to spatially reason. Or maybe it reflects the way certain people view technological devices - they issue direct commands, rather than tell it what they want

I currently am just hacking on a Pong clone in Bevy in my spare time, so I'm not serious at all. Just want to say props to all of you who are putting serious work into creating games full time or otherwise. It has been quite a challeng

It is definitely better than before, but doesn't really change the game much. It has severe limitations. My biggest hope when generics were announced was that we'd finally get an alternative to writing `if err != nil` 10+ times pe

Sometimes they do, but not always - my roommate once assembled an Ikea bookshelf with one of the panels on backwards.

A decent example from my own career (if we're going with the "debt as short-term gain, long-term loss" metaphor): I spent 3 years at a DoD consulting firm for my second job. The pros: - Boost in pay ($40k -> $85k a year) -

I live on the west coast, and work for people on Central time. I regularly take my first meeting of the day having just rolled out of bed. There is a 7AM weekly all-hands meeting that I simply don't attend most of the time, because it&

Needless to say, if your identity here can be traced back to your employer + your name, be careful what you say. It could lead to spear phishing attempts.

I had exactly this experience growing up too. My friends were all _at least_ a 2 mile walk from me, on 8 lane 60mph stroads with nothing but gated communities and strip malls along the way. Biking was not great either because of how hilly i

I'm mostly amazed that they are allowed to audit whatever class they want. I tried to audit a class in college once and the teacher refused. Now maybe that was not within their rights and I just took their word for it, but wow.

I hold spoons kind of "wrong"; basically put your palm facing down, make a fist, and then support the spoon with your thumb. That's how I eat soup when I'm not actively thinking about it. I just control the angle of the

I have more success writing reusable libraries that do very, very fundamental stuff or add ergonomics to existing features. For example, in Go when generics landed I immediately wrote a few small libraries using them. They're in use al

I used to do strength training, but I couldn't stick with it for more than half a year. Doing things that have a strong variety and skill-based elements to them helped a lot. For me the past year and a half it's been figure skatin

I personally prefer take home problems (I also have a bad track record on "speedrun this Leetcode problem" interviews). However I think it'd be great if applicants could choose one or the other, without any bias in either dir

ChatGPT can be confidently and subtly wrong about many subjects. It is most useful when you can verify its answers with low overhead. A language that I am still learning is one of the things for which I am _least_ equipped to do that.

Besides the mechanical/knowledge parts of it, one important thing (at least in my opinion) is cultivating an improvement focused mindset. Playing To Win [0] is a good overview. If something in the game doesn't go your way, blame y

I touched something with a live current in it once as a child. I was like "huh, that feels kinda weird" and then let go after a second. Only later did I realize how lucky I was that it wasn't lethal! It was in a 220v country

Rather than Linux rising to meet the expectations of users, I think it is more likely that Windows will continue to decline in usability until it is on par with the top Linux DEs. Dunno what to make of MacOS in this.

I tried running our Golang mock generator through Docker on an M1 Mac and it was much slower than running it directly on the host. Probably since it reads every file in the codebase and writes out a file for every interface it finds.

In Perl you can write postfix conditionals: `thing() unless $condition`, which at least is more natural usage of "unless" to a native English speaker than the other way around. That's the best way to use it IMO.
