First time I’m seeing that link (56 days later).

So the distinction between ban and shadow ban seems pretty minor. Anyway zero warnings and I’ve posted no “ideological” material other than fully in context responses to posts.

Again, same here as Reddit. Mods didn’t like a particular political association with a post so made the choice to label it ideological and ban me.

Crypto companies are hungry (desperate even) for genuine talent, but they only have the pool of people who either believe in crypto or are willing to pretend for a big paycheck. The former are by definition a bit inexperienced / naive, and the latter aren’t passionate just greedy.

I’ve considered being one of the latter but have concerns it will ruin my resume. Also doubt I could stomach lying for money for long.

Control a persons body, you mean like poisoning or butchering their body and pulling out their corpse to dispose of it?

(I honestly don’t have a strong stance, but both sides have equivalent arguments and what bothers me is people refusing to acknowledge that)

I lost two jobs directly due to COVID and got $0 “stimulus” while my sister was employed the entire time and got an absurd amount of free money.

It wasn’t a stimulus. It wasn’t COVID related either. It was income redistribution. I might respect it to some extent if people called it what it was.

I’d make it an inline function and call it multiple times per loop iteration. You should be able to pull some of the initializations out of the loop and fetch multiple at once, pipelining using different registers. Optimizing compilers have gotten good enough to do the right things much of the time with intrinsics but it still may benefit from hand writing.

Sometimes you can even eek a touch more speed with prefetch, but it can be tricky to get that right.

Another thing that matters a ton is whether you’re microbenchmarking it accurately. It isn’t trivial to do so, as you should mimic real memory / cache behavior as opposed to repeatedly having it fetch memory which is already cached and give you misleading results.

I use them sometimes for component or sequence diagrams. I’m usually really happy with the result and get positive feedback for going to the effort. But stick to the 80:20 principle instead of diving down a UML pedantry rabbit hole.

My life dramatically improved in more ways than I can count as a direct result of using software to help manage my knowledge and tasks.

It’s a shame to discover that I’ve been wrong all this time. Back to my old, worse self I guess, because last thing I want is to look like a bullshitter to some random ranter on the internet.

For what it’s worth, I would roll my eyes and be annoyed by half of these improvements too. But I really dislike speech which is purposefully obfuscated to try and hide the “negative” aspects.

I think it’s far better to find a genuinely more empathetic thought process and then express those thoughts without having to specially obfuscate it to sound nice.

I think the set of people who rage quit Twitter over Elon buying it has very significant overlap with the set of people who make Twitter toxic.

Hulu is the worst of all IMO. Then you pay to remove ads to discover oh that’s not all ads. It’s some particular subset of ads.

My brain has no idea what it’s doing here. I can vaguely guess things like “red and blue makes green” but I have absolutely no intuitive sense of how to generalize that visually.

This makes me naturally not want to play anymore. So my advice would be to think about how to handle someone like me and keep me interested… although maybe it’s just not for everyone.

Oh interesting, that makes sense. I’ve been fiddling with keys and modes for a long time and somehow didn’t even notice that pattern.

The naming makes perfect sense with C Major, or A minor. Because the in-key notes are letters. The weirdness is how we then apply those same names to every other key. I tend to be very C Major focused when playing piano, and just use the transpose function to change keys. Things are much simpler that way IMO.

I can’t picture images at all and thought it was normal. I mean it seems to be relatively common at least so we aren’t total aliens.

It always seemed really odd to me that people can sit down and draw whatever they want. The way my mind works it’s just absurd to imagine magically knowing what color to use and precise brush movements. But if you can visualize things you basically are copying from an image of sorts.

That made art both more and less impressive to me lol
