Jus another reminder that the modern browser is an awful platform with basically no unique purpose but user exploitation - which is why it happens to be ubiquitous.

I would bet that this is true for whatever the opposite party in power is. The algorithm likes negativity, and it likes notoriety. Therefore, it likes criticism from the other side. Consider: “[current president] is ugly” Versus: “[irrelev

Why not ethyl acetate like decaffeination? Seems safer.

These things were everywhere I went. Even B-hut fob gyms had Concept-2 rowers. In BAF there was a giant sign outside the Disney clamshell, “NO EXCUSES”. Hit it for 5 minutes in full uniform about 10 times a day between every movement and th

I’ve always wondered why compiled languages can’t fall back to interpreted execution for debugging.

I have personally focused on C/C++, but I would say that Lisp has more natural interpretation to the way that processors and compilers work best. The last 20-40 years have been focused on making them work well for C/C++, which is

I do not have a PhD, but this is how I believe professional work should (and probably used to) operate. I’m extremely bored and annoyed by management practices that do nothing but track and assign work. When I started my career, it seemed a

I was competing in the Jump Trading programming competition and thought I had a pretty good implementation in AVX asm, but I was still behind one of their engineers, so I asked him after the competition. Turns out he was a Linux kernel comm

Even in-person jobs now have all the terrible aspects of remote work. You go to an office full of strangers that you don’t work with, just to fight over a few private phone booths to take meetings at with your distributed team. There’s stil

These are very long proofs. Is there a succinct version for this problem?

That wasn’t my implication. I was saying that the term is being abused rather than just over-used as in celiac. I don’t claim to know what ‘autistic’ is, and I’ve never heard a clear definition.

This always amazes me to hear from non-IT people. I’ve spent so much of my life being forced to use Cybernetting AnyOffice* that I can’t see how anybody would have been exposed to anything else without being part of some rogue nerd culture.

Interesting, but I think it has gone the other direction. It seems to me that the autism diagnosis has been unilaterally bad for rational people, and something like a green light for exploitation by emotional people. I hear people calling o

I don’t think I have an adequate understanding of how you perceive yourself to be treated. But, to attempt, I’d first say that I don’t ‘treat’ groups. I interact with individuals. Also, I don’t know exactly what ‘marginalized’ means, but th

Perhaps that is a bigger need that ought to be addressed separately instead of mixing it in with the mental health industry. This may be the domain of the matchmaking industry, which basically exists to keep people feeling alienated.

Actually that’s interesting because logically it implies that anybody seeking diagnosis is in fact impaired.

So, here’s what that sounds like without the emotional content: You are a self-diagnosed-autistic person (SDAP). You are upset that other SDAPs are consuming resources intended for ‘actual’ autistic persons. You would prefer to consume thos

Okay, but you understand that the bailouts are not for them, right? It’s for their lenders that would never get repaid otherwise. The bailouts let them charge high-risk interest rates with zero actual risk.

I’ve tried some funny shuffle like sanding it down and doing hundreds of punctures with a needle. It always seems to grow back as scar tissue. I think I might have to chop it deeper into the good part, and that might not work out as planned
