Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

X.... Noooooooooo!

Northern Canada. It's relatively routine to see temps like that in January and February.

911 sama.

Something that really is obvious to me when I see things like the Darrell Brooks trial.

Without a properly functioning legal system, there would be no choice but for the families of those 70 victims to just kill everyone in the city with the name Brooks.

People who want to totally remove the legal system thinking that'll be a good thing should consider that fact.

Since we can apply for other people to get medically assisted suicide now, I nominate our Prime Minister.

He's clearly unwell, it's immoral to allow his suffering to continue.

John Carmack gave a massive interview on the Lex Fridman podcast a while back, and I listened through much of it:

One thing he talks a lot about is how over the years he's come to realize that building good systems and having a good strategy overall is more important than having individual clever algorithms.

When you're dealing with stuff that's going to be a base for work that continues indefinitely, that's absolutely true to an extent that people in the moment often don't realize.

Building something that's super efficient and clever is fine if you're done the project in 18 months and never work on this again, but a lot of companies take that base that's built in one game and use it as the basis for their next 15 games, because that's good business and good game development.

I've experience this myself, where the stuff I can help others maintain is worth its weight in gold.

True. :/

That last one is incredibly true. The thing is, you make the documentation and it's good, you have it. Maybe 1 year later, or 2 years later, or 5 years later, or 10 years later someone asks you how it works, and you've got this impeccable documentation and you look like a king.

I want to know: how cold is your cold climate?

I routinely see -40C, and I'm really curious about what -40C and not leaving your car in a garage overnight would look like for an EV.

The legend is real.

I've used concur. It's probably the best product I've ever used that says "SAP" on it. That ain't saying much mind you, SAP is the worst thing to come out of Germany since BEFORE World war 1.

Doing the postgres clean that alex suggested and then tuning the postgres configuration to better match the resources available on my server ended up reducing the total cpu load while increasing my memory use. (The memory use thing is a good thing, I didn't put it in there to sit around looking pretty)

Sort of wish I'd put more explicit descriptions of what things are going on in my book for posterity, but live and learn.

I can already see the attempts to rewrite history that happened just a couple years ago.

There have already been revolutions over this and it isn't even really rolling yet. I tend to agree with you that it's going to be on a level nobody can imagine because things have been so good for so long we have no frame of reference.

The ironic thing is that the people screaming "revolution!" the loudest are also the most associated with the regimes that will be revolted against so they're likely going to be up against the wall with them.

Hypocritical scum was shockingly silent when Twitter was used to intimidate his political enemies including distributing names and other personal information of people who donated to the truckers anonymously.

You live in a bad area? Maybe it's meth. Does it smell like meth?

(I'm kidding, don't smell it!)

Shannon Epstein

I'm not going on truth social, but I was wondering if it was real or not.

I shouldn't have to ask.... But is this real or a shoop?

I'm ok either way, but poe's law is too real.
