My attitude to Teflon is any harm to the pan is a kick in the balls to me. Because of the incredibly harmful effect on testosterone, it mimics testosterone hormone--almost identical shape, so what it does is it gets in the testosterone receptors and makes men less masculine. And it gets lodged in there. I suspect it's a driving factor in the surge of transexuality and male infertility (low sperm counts etc) because it's fucking everywhere and can impede masculinization very directly. Because the thing is, if you're going to be a man, you better be a hell of a man--then you get all the rewards--but if you're defective, not quite as resourceful, tolerant to pain, audacious, quick (testosterone increases your brain speed a bit), or like have a weaker frame, receding jaw, any one of dozens of signature flaws you get treated so much worse. So compromising masculinity--in particular what's called the brain waves, what that is is partly brain waves, which determine frequency of the brain, so you end up a bit slower, like 6 Hz instead of 7 Hz. Huge role in determining how much respect you get as a man. Second testosterone alters the brain, so more risk-seeking more pain-tolerant, and frequently, toxic masculinity ie plotting ways to take advantage of women, or more violent, or more dead-set on premeditated crime.

Teflon is also bad for women, who also produce and need testosterone in their own smaller quantities, it eg helps them be toned and thin, and is insufficient to trigger eg facial hair development. And I think when they are expecting a boy, there's something going on there, their testosterone helps that boy develop properly, not sure.

It's just a remarkable chemical that is great for bacon and eggs. So just super conservative with it, never put it under anything, only cook with a dedicated plastic thing, never permit anyone do anything with it. And guess what? It's just as effective--exactly as effective--as it was when I bought it, I successfully protected the surface and my masculinity with my conservative attitude toward it.
I'm using tilix with tmux inside.
tilix can be configured to not have any window manager decoration and have quake mode (drop-down terminal) it's my replacement for guake that wasnt working nice with Wayland.
you can also put it in fullscreen and it'll stick to it in quake mode - the preferred way to use terminal for me

The main activity of senior FBI and spooks alike has always been extortion. What exactly is done with it varies. For FBI, it may include coercing aid to recruit into "terrorist cells" that may then be prosecuted, or coercing false testimony, i.e. perjury, in criminal cases. Among spooks, coercion is used to operate networks of "assets" for information gathering or covert action, often for official purposes, but not at all necessarily so. "Classified" offers a big tent.

So, Twitter's interest in FBI and spooks will be to leverage their skills operating on information Twitter has unique access to. This could be a much more lucrative business than advertising. Of course this makes Twitter useful directly to the spook agencies for their own purposes, another revenue source.
I'm aware, however there have been a couple efforts now to introduce CAD tooling into Blender.

https://github.com/hlorus/CAD_Sketcher

https://github.com/EleotleCram/blender-cad-tools

I'm not suggesting that they are ready for professional use, just that I don't think the Autodesk moat is as deep as some might assume, and that if there was a concerted community effort Blender could accomplish those tasks.
Super helpful reply, thanks! I'm not on the site too much these days but will send any that I notice!
Yes, businesses only seem to care what you've been up to lately. If you jump onto something else, this 3 month stint will be meaningless within a few years.
The people in the chatroom interact more with people who do not do this. They're trying to prevent wasting their own time, and leaving askers with precise answers to questions they didn't need answered, or sending them down the wrong path and fielding tons of opaque questions rather than finding out what's actually going on.

I get that you don't want to waste your time, that's entirely reasonable... but by asking for help you are asking others to donate their time. Refusing to acknowledge that their strategy helps them preserve their time just makes you the asshole, not them.

Yes. I actually have done this. I left my last job around 4 months in. I also have a few gaps on my resume, each approaching a year long.

YMMV, but in my experience, it will not tank your chances. I got plenty of interviews whether I was totally upfront about my reasons for quitting or not. Searching for a job sucks, but you'd be doing it anyway. It will suck worse if you don't have enough reserve cash.

But if you've got enough cash to float you for several months, don't waste another 3 months or more of your life hating it. I've never regretted the times I quit abruptly or didn't work.

Was able to find a couple of threads about Tim Ferris and crypto trading, so yeah, you're right.
Overscoping a beginner project is completely harmless. The worst thing that can happen is that you get stuck along the way and realize that a feature is much more difficult or out right impossible. You then cut that feature or give up on the project if you've sunk enough time into it.

Fortunately, actual delivery of a beginner project is pointless. The only point is to learn by doing and you accomplish that regardless of whether your project fails. And failing projects is a lesson in itself on scope, estimation, and research; you won't get this experience if someone else is scoping for you like in a school project .
Short termisms that spreads through the traditional businesses are now causing them to die off.

Whether it's rank and yank, diversification into the hottest financial markets, throwing away manufacturing because those weren't making a lot of money, killing of R&D because they are a cost center. You'll see so many "capable" CEOs who could handle the day to day gracefully but manage like this, and lead the companies to their doom.

It's not about appearances.
I think I wasn't clear enough so I'll try to rephrase it:

A compromise from a malicious curl|bash script is basically impossible to detect.
All other avenues at least give you the potential ability to figure out how you were compromised after the fact.
With curl|bash there is no trail and you can never find out which commands were actually excecuted, because it's possible to detect the |bash on the server that's providing the script.

It’s a worthy question, but let’s leave the swamp water in the swamp and speak properly about who is being hired. We worry about “revolving doors” between regulatory agencies and their marks because of fears the prey may become the predators. This isn’t that, and the mission of the FBI is much broader than say, the FCC. The guys at the top of the Department of Justice food chain just below the President are your pencil pushing swamp creatures. Rank and file exploring jungle life in the streets of San Francisco (at least metaphorically if not literally) are not and the way you started off implied a swampy sort of character which gets your average know-nothing in this political environment to start thinking in the wrong direction about those dastardly revolving doors.
> But the programming team continually worked towards shipping in only two months for the next fourteen months!

Every time I hear these stories from game developers, I just shake my head and think “where the hell is the project manager?” It’s as if the whole game industry just doesn’t believe in rigorous, disciplined project management, and instead always relies on crunch time, 48 hour days and an endless supply of naive youth to burn out. Nobody benefits when you keep saying “we’re two months from shipping” for 14 months.
I found the book Exercises for Programmers (https://www.programmingbooks.dev/#exercises-for-programmers) to be invaluable to help learn new languages and frameworks. Beginners seem to appreciate it as well.

It’s just an ordered collection of exercises that starts easy and builds up to more challenging ones. I can’t overstate the power of this simple book.

The least quoted and most important "clue" in The Cluetrain Manifesto is the "one clue" listed above the "95 theses." Written by the very sadly late Chris Locke, it says,"we are not seats or eyeballs or end users or consumers. we are human beings and our reach exceeds your grasp. deal with it."

Sadly, that has not yet been proven true. Their grasp far exceeds our reach. But that doesn't mean it always will. Our Digital Age is three decades old at most and will last dozens or thousands of decades more. So it's early.
Can you ask for a refund since features that you paid for have been removed?
While I generally wonder the same question... I've seen basically every database follow this pattern. There are fairly frequent scenarios where doing a couple separate indexed queries performs better than an equivalent join. Particularly when queries get kinda-large and up.

I can certainly see it when running into memory limits per table, because doing the full join might require more memory at once, but it frequently happens far below where I'd expect that to occur (in the low thousands of rows). Dunno why. Maybe it uses caches more efficiently? Many simple operations are often more cache-able than a few complex ones.
Profile your server and figure out what the bottleneck in your app is:

Uh, just because I haven't undergone starburns (nuclear explosion burns, they're like sunburns but they pierce the skin) from a weird new metal doesn't mean it's safe. On the contrary, it's unsafe, and you have no idea what the fuck to do about it. At least PFAS and plasticizers, like the Teflon pan I talk about, I can say, OK this chemical is too good to be true, in that it has amazing non-stick properties and simultaneously will harm my masculinity hormonally, on a par with a kick in the testicles for every scratch. I just have to respect it very, very much and it will be useful to me.

Whereas microplastics, you don't know how to deflect or stop the harm. You're like a starburned Hiroshima resident, you realize those guys consistently got shit advice from their doctors, those doctors were of no benefit, fucking waste of money? And as always, like in the Bible for instance, it's very rare for a doctor ever to tell you he's a fucking waste of money. Became a doctor out of love of money, in America at least, it's uniformly like that. Only the greed can get med students through the hazing. I know doctors who also help people, don't just make a lot of money, but they still actually do make a lot of money, they just help people too.
Oh, my view is given the size of the opportunity they are underachieving.

In terms of the actually forming a business product market fit, they definitely have.

However, they're seen as a cut price second supplier to GitHub Enterprise + Atlassian. Not an ideal situation.

In terms of "maybe we should become more user friendly instead of going all in on enterprise features," not so much. And that's important.
Starcraft was released in 1998. The game development industry was still pretty new and nowhere near the size it is today. Also, modern project management strategies weren't really used much back then and even if they were, they probably wouldn't be found in a gamedev studio where headcount was really tight.
> In your original comment, you're explicitly lying about the Suckless team in a manner that is libelous and defamatory.

That’s news to me? I thought I was correcting a mischaracterization of one event rather than a different event.

> Furthermore, "Cultural Marxism" has been a political term of art on the mainstream American right for decades. Glenn Beck (remember him? I do my best to forget) was using it on TV over a decade ago.

I don’t know what you think your point is, but the notion that Glenn Beck as a mainstream political commentator is a baseline is horrifying. He might not have realized he was promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, but he’s openly acknowledged he was promoting unfounded conspiracy theories. It’s entirely possible he wasn’t aware of which dogs he was whistling. And with that said…

> Everyone you disagree with on the Internet is not, in fact, necessarily a Nazi.

I quite recognize that. I don’t think you’re a nazi for instance, but I do hope you’ll recognize how the actual nazis organize with plausibly deniable innuendo and inevitable defense by people who aren’t willing to jump to the conclusions they know their compatriots will. But if you think people signaling their intent with obvious reference to historical and contemporary fascist movements isn’t indicative, well. Fortunately for you, they’re probably not targeting you, yet. Unfortunately for everyone else, their barely disguised tactics are obviously effective.

One more point.

> Everyone you disagree with on the Internet is not, in fact, necessarily a Nazi.

I confront nazis in the street. Not the internet. I’ve seen them do horrible things with no consequence and often with support of the state. I am not adept at or interested in confronting nazis on the internet. But I am very interested in confronting where their internet tactics show any signs of mainstreaming where I also interact.

Crazy idea: could there be a neural net to help naming ?

Ideally, it looks at your code and your makeshift name, and suggests other names to consider.
Trust me that's not exclusive to game shops. Even an open source project (but that is run by a for-profit organisation) I've been involved in for the last year and a half has been similar, even though anyone could surely see 6 months ago it wasn't shipping any time soon. They're still staying 2 months away (I reckon 4 minimum now).

Physical security and insider threat management for one thing. All big companies tend to hire for these positions from the ranks of law enforcement. Look up literally any company in the fortune 500 and look at the experience of the chief of security - they don't tend to come with PhDs from Stanford. Moreover Twitter is a target of many government agencies around the world, extremists groups of various shades, and disgruntled randos who believe the Californian elite is stifling their favorite brand of hate. It takes organization and expertise to operate safely within that kind of threat.

By the way, what's with the white on black monospace layout? Is that supposed to be cool or something?
On the other hand, early software development resembled more established hardware development at the time, with much higher quality requirements.

So I would expect otherwise. Maybe 1998 was the tipping point?
While self-hosted open source isn't immune to this, at least you could keep running an old version that still has the feature.
Just a note, but the sensitivity of human vision depends on the amount of light but generally peaks in the green/yellow, not the yellow/orange. This is actually the reason why some countries have changed the paint of emergency vehicles from red to greenish, they are much easier to see especially in the dark where we perceive red to be largely black.

Hi, I was one at one point. I'm an aerospace engineer, not a software guy. I merely dabble in coding and as such I don't know how to implement a quadtree or what Dijkstra's Algorithm is for. I've been coding off and on in some capacity since the early 2000s. I learned what closures were a year or two ago.

Plenty of people are taught that ternary operators are evil and should never be used.

Plenty of people were also taught that proper architecture involved an AbstractGetterVisitorFactoryFactory.

That doesn't make either of those things true.

As a side note, if you find yourself wanting a loop but using `map` isn't sufficient, you should probably be preparing the values ahead of time and still using map. It'll be more efficient, and the code easier to read.
