• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think blind itself drives some interesting bias. The public posts are pretty incel. You need a critical mass of folks at your company to have a company private board so it attracts folks from bigger companies. It doesn’t seem to represent average folks well. Unless I have no idea what average is.

  I’m not sure what to do with that instinct. The overall results say a thing I wanted to hear. It all feels weird.

  My analemma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess is the big video ram is high resolution textures, complex geometry, and a long draw distance. I honestly don’t know much about video games though.

  The smaller install is totally the map streaming stuff. I’m unsure quite why it has to be so big, but again, I don’t know video games. I do recall you having to tell it where you want to start from and it’ll download some stuff there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank God For That⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know but the suggest makes me so happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m with you. Words change.

  There are still good southerners. But it’s hard sometimes. I still live here but I’m weary for my kids. It’s fine for now.

  I wish you peace with your family. Whatever that means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heritage Foundation insists it was not hacked by “gay furries”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think all those are a little true. But I’m mostly guessing. I’m happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.

  Either way, these folks are my hero.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats your favorite Main Menu music?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like this video with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hmm⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I hate Ferris wheels. Every time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What got you into coding ? (aside from money)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m bad at everything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The only thing doing tech tests has taught me is that I'm too stupid to do the job I've been doing professionally for the better part of 2 decades.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We ask algorithm questions and I feel bad about it. But a nontrivial portion of the job really is adapting these algorithms to novel scenarios. Not most of the job, but maybe the hardest part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would it take for you to move away from Github?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it for work so to entirely leave it they’d have to move away. That seems unlikely.
