Honestly, I try to avoid knowing any more about him than I can. I know a bunch of meta details, but didn’t dig that far into it.

I thought it was Mr. Hands, the aerospace engineer, that made us require that distinction.

Good points well made.
- Comment on A heart-warming story 1 week ago:
No. O is rarest. The chromosome pairs are made of A,B,O. A & B are Dominant, O is recessive. If I’ve done the math right, there’s 144 ways to combine the genes of parents giving a resulting distribution of
A 33.3%
B 33.3%
AB 22.2% O 11.1%. Because AA, AO, OA all result in type A… BB, BO, OB all result in type B… AB and BA both result in type AB… Only OO can produce type O blood. - Comment on Ars Technica makes up quotes from Matplotlib maintainer("An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"); pulls story 1 week ago:
BenJ had coauthor credit on it.
- Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 3 weeks ago:
QC has stronger protections than neighboring ON does, actually. If the employee has more than 2 years of service they simply cannot be dismissed without just cause. Even under 2 years there are a bunch of protections, but at 2+ it gets harder.
- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 3 weeks ago:
100%. They’ve announced the plans for SpaceX to have an IPO, this will basically eliminate all of his losses even if they just shut down xAI immediately following acquisition (which they won’t do just yet, because people are still bag holding AI investments.)
This guy might be a dumb fuck, but he’s the smartest dumb fuck in the billionaire game. - Comment on Ubisoft Fires Team Lead For Criticising Stupid Return-To-Office Mandate 3 weeks ago:
He was attached to Ubi’s office Montreal, QC, Canada.
If there isn’t anything more than what is mentioned in the article, it’s highly that the CDPDJ would rule against Ubi if the dismissal is challenged; this would likely be protected as Freedom of Expression, as nothing negative was said about Ubi besides the implication that Ubi thought that their employees wouldn’t see their motives. - Comment on You don't say. 5 weeks ago:
Oh. Well when you finish SOMA let me know how you feel. I’m interested to know.

The pressure difference doesn’t change how many joules of energy needs to enter the food to cook it.
- Comment on xkcd #3187: High Altitude Cooking Instructions 1 month ago:
Who said anything about turning the heat UP?
- Comment on xkcd #3187: High Altitude Cooking Instructions 1 month ago:
If you’re cooking something at altitude you shouldn’t lower the heat - you still need to cook it properly.
- Comment on xkcd #3187: High Altitude Cooking Instructions 1 month ago:
The extra cooking time results in more water loss. <Shrug> I’d imagine in most recipes it’d be nearly imperceptible.

Similar, but I consider myself agnostic, and I’m in no rush to reach the point of ‘find out or cease existing’

Well they removed all the parts of him he filled with resin and just joined it back up after. So…skipped the waiting for cancer step?
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 2 months ago:
You didn’t engage with it but have spent the equivalent of 6 weeks of full time work in the game?
Maybe I’m setting my bar too low, but for a video game I expect to get 1hr enjoyment per dollar spent for me to consider a game ‘worthwhile.’
That aside, I agree it would be nice to have a more lived in feel in NMS, cities, a feel of civilization.

- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 months ago:
Fair enough. The company I’m talking about did a million a month in payroll.
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 months ago:
I worked in a service center for a big company back in my 20’s, they would factor in callouts to their staffing plan, and use historical data for it. They also paid 2.5x time on holidays like the 25/26 December. That’s what a million dollar company should look like…if you want to make sure there’s coverage, you pay for it.
- Comment on Preloading File Explorer in Windows 11 Doubles RAM Usage, Offers Minimal Speed Boost 2 months ago:
The IoT edition of Windows 11 runs in 4GB ram and performs ok. I don’t recommend more ram, I recommend either Linux or LTSC IoT.
- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 2 months ago:
Some things have survived, like CUPS…but yeah, their track record isn’t great.
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 3 months ago:
I’m more concerned about ‘AI’ telling people incorrect information - and that information being further indexed and presented as fact elsewhere.
It’s a compounding problem
- Comment on Had to look this up 3 months ago:
What exactly in the above sentence would have suggested to the average person that they should Google search the troubles?
Or are you saying any time I see a nonsensical sentence I should just stop what I’m doing and google search the whole thing? - Comment on Had to look this up 3 months ago:
…wut
- Comment on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels 3 months ago:
I just asked 2 IT guys “hey, do you know what punycode is?” And the answer I received was “I’ve heard of it but don’t know what it is.”
Thank you for informing me, but I’m far from alone in not recognizing it or having knowledge of what punycode is. - Comment on I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels 3 months ago:
Looks like a totally legit domain. Much trusting.

I run audiobookshelf through it and it works flawlessly.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 3 months ago:
Funny how we’ve forgotten already the rage and backlash from users when it was revealed you could never completely disable telemetry in windows 10.
Now the general attitude is ‘well, it’s not as bad as 11.’
For the better part of a decade I used windows only for gaming, and now I’ve dropped it for that too.
I’m not sure why some people still refuse to consider using an alternative to windows these days. - Comment on green salad fingers 3 months ago:
