I drove 1700 miles on French interstate highways. I think the posted limit was like 120 or 130 kph. I went 10 over and cars were flying past me. I never saw a cop over that week. And cars had great manners with everyone in the right lane ex

I tried the same but I have multiple people in my house so about 20% of the time when I say “turn off the lights” it responds with “who is talking” and goes through a voice calibration exercise. It’s super infuriating because I guess they w

Surprisingly, this has been a good way to catch up and say hi. It in a “can you spare a square” but in saying hi and starting a conversation in the hall on the way back.

The best managers I’ve had provide support- good workspaces, training budgets, protection from layoffs, hiring good coworkers. Basically making it so no admin work comes to me and everything goes smoothly.

For me, I don’t like launchers constantly updating and running at startup. Inevitably, they end up breaking something or popping up a modal when I’m trying to do something else. I tolerate steam on my laptop because they were the first. I h

Forced is horrible. But consensual is great.

Flow state is really powerful, but it’s not constant. I don’t want to be in flow for 40 hours per week. And to tell the truth if I get a few hours of flow a week, I’m lucky. So I don’t want to shut the door on any interactions in the unlike

I feel the same way. It’s really interesting and provides cool insights. But it seems hard to explain to myself to spend more on that than GitHub or IDEs. I’d like to hear more about the value customers get out of it as I wonder if it’s jus

I don’t expect technologists to ever really unionize. In all the orgs I’ve worked senior engineers are effectively management. So unless that shifts so ICs are just labor, I don’t know if a union will make sense. Maybe with lower level posi

Gas stations don’t have parking for cars to sit there for 30 minutes. Their real estate doesn’t work. Hotels and parking lots have empty spaces.

I thought the same thing. This seems like a rhetorical technique to just shove the definition down one layer. But it sounds right. Sometimes I wonder if Aristotle was just trying to skate by without being called. Or truth really is that nua

I remember this being the only part of that World War Z movie that I thought was interesting. (I enjoyed the book quite a bit for its variety of stories and passion for zombies during a time when zombies were in a bit of a lull.)

Qntm’a hardcover books are really well designed. And cheap. I think I paid $12 or something. It really makes me annoyed to see crappy hardcovers for $20-30, knowing that what looks like self-publishing can do such a good job.

I think this was in response to the shooting a few years ago where the shooter put his DND on for days and had his guns and ammo out all over the room. I’ve had “room checks” at many hotels since then and they said it was for security purpo

It is funny when people are just mindlessly cutting and pasting and there’s no QA or even reading their input. In my day, I would at least read through everything my code had to produce and it was always funny to see the stuff that the BAs

Collecting real testimonials requires more work than putting a prompt into ChatGPT. Seems like a simple case of bad laziness.

I am not a lawyer, but didn’t include the disclaimer because I don’t think it’s relevant to my comment. Even were I a lawyer, it should carry the same weight. Some random, kind internet stranger sharing ideas. I think it distracts from the

Society does take an active role through police, fbi, etc etc Vigilantes are criminals too so society takes an active role in pursuing and punishing them as well.

I don’t think disclaimers really work. I think it’s just urban legend that they do. I find it hard to believe if some scammer is hacked and the evidence shows the hacker learned everything from solely this video then this disclaimer won’t m

Consolidation and oligopoly aren’t new in the past 4 years. What is new is the trillions of cash injected into money supply. Greed is constant. Consolidation started in the 90s and the same 4 grocery companies have owned the market for 15-2

It’s by design. There was some cyber practice doc years ago calling out how outbound ssh is a security risk because it can’t be monitored. And they’re afraid people will steal data and send it out without network security knowing. I hated t

Google’s brand is a bloated cash cow gradually fading to irrelevance. It’s like IBM or 2000s Microsoft or whatever. I don’t think they like this brand. I think they want people talking about things that promote them.

I don’t like exporting excel because that’s harder to read. I don’t make the data for Excel. I make the data portable. The fact that it opens in Excel is just convenient. If Excel doesn’t work, I’d use BBEdit or one of a billion other clien

I don’t think it’s the sole factor, but I think it’s not terribly complicated or some indicator of the US having a flaw. But I think the US is leading some global fattening and we’re just first.
