We take training constantly to not click our Duo notifications for people on the phone, etc. Few months ago I couldn’t log into the vpn. Posted to the slack channel and got a slack asking my phone number. Ok so I know this guy is really my

And as far as blaming the carrier if a call comes in with a B or higher rating it’s going to present the number as legit. That’s not the carriers fault!

Eink is just really expensive right now. I believe that it’s heavily patented and only one or two places produces the panels.

How do you get those tools to work with git branches? We use bitbucket at work which goes out of its way to stink regarding search. But I personally find it hard to find some code in some branch of some repository that uses x.

The graphics bus was also a huge constraint. Using dirty triangles to bit bang is effective but tedious.

Quake 1 used to play the music via cdda. I “borrowed” my copy as a teen which did not include that music. My friend at school burned me a cd of Led Zeppelin 1. The summer of me playing quake listening to zeppelin is nostalgia heaven for me.

Masters of doom goes through these stories in detail. Very good book.

It’s 99% due to nostalgia but look at chocolate doom. It’s a tightly coded 2.5D game. There’s TONS of documentation on how it works. Recreating the engine in a familiar language and playing the WADs of you childhood is fun. But if you want

Good on you man. If I got an email that said “opportunity: port 20+ cpp app to web” I would chuckle and close that sucker real quick. Modern cpp I maybe can deal with. That 90s stuff is real bad.

There’s a modern way to play burnt dvds with no swap on a ps2. It pretends to be a video DVD (so no wobble groove check) and uses a buffer overflow in the DVD menu code handling to boot the game.

they may have edited their comment but they were commenting on the lack of quality of their Linux drivers (which I agree with but only on a consumer level, never used nvidia in a server)

Exactly my point. From my experience hiring in tech Europeans are very quick to mention US education believing it’s a big advantage. Personally at that role it was an English role so I only took from their US education that they can functio

For both places I was simply filling roles. I think maybe 80% local and 20% us nationals? Maybe 90/10? Probably 50% had US educations listed. Maybe 40%? But it’s not like I didn’t see any. I’m not sure what you think is surprising. US

Where in Europe? I’ve hired in both Portugal and Germany and have seen a ton of US education. This is for developer positions I would expect it different if you are hiring line cooks.
