To me, not just grey but an ever shifting speckled rainbow colored static with a heavy bias towards grey.

Could be Seattle tax/revenue policy. Bellevue WA, the only nearby comparable but smaller tech hub city, has 25% vacancy and expected to drop below 20% - according to Fable.

A family member took the same calculus class that I did, from the same teacher. They passed, per their own account, only by memorizing the rules. I memorized what I needed to but the concepts clicked intuitively. So sure, some people “get it” and some people just pass a subject like CS.

Exactly! I used this question regularly. It wasn’t a gotcha question or even an impossible-without-experience question as the author thinks. It was a show me HOW you think through something question. There are a lot of ways to solve it, from scanline to sin/cos to using the circle equation, but you can _progress_ from naive to advanced solutions, and all solutions above plus the DDA or Bresenham solutions have symmetries (hint: more than four quadrants are symmetrical) that you can use to optimize it. A practiced interviewer can learn a lot about the candidate with this question.

You only do this when you’re trying to use incident management as a hammer to make a point to somebody whom you have otherwise failed to convince to fix something through persuasive argument. Ie, it’s punitive.

I don’t know… if the top of line PC cost $3000 30 years ago, it seems like we’re pretty close to that today for class-equivalent hardware (without going absurd - 32GB of DDR5, game playing video card, 4TB SSD…)

Your post just clicked something from of a deep memory into place.

In the early 80s when the IBM PC hit the scene, Hercules had a graphics card that was amazing and offered better than CGA graphics. I was plinking on it at my dad’s friend’s house, drawing circles and stuff, and on HIS computer the graphics were retained. I had to figure out how to clear the screen, whereas on mine, not having the Hercules card, it wasn’t retained. Never understood what was happening until now.

Episode #103, @FoundMyFitness on Spotify podcasts. All about coffee’s benefits, including for exercise.

Many coffee distribution sites (like drink trade dot com) tell you the process. I’m a fan of the Swiss water method.

Same. I measure at home and my relaxed systolic is 30-40 lower than the first measurement in their office.

I agree, I actually prefer them now because there’s no ill effects AND they’re generally lower calorie, too.

“Ran out” and grabbed two more Majestouch 3 with silent red switches. Should keep me going for the rest of my life!

They did not. They had already done this thinking with the 55/15 retirement option, where if you’re aged 55 or older and 15 years continuous service you could leave and keep most of your equity. And you signed a suite of “non” agreements including non-litigation.

That seems… misguided.

The raw electromagnetic emissions of uncountable atoms jostling through space and time.

I’d say they’re writing as if they expect everyone to share their ideals, and they’re responding to violations of those ideals in a naive and disempowered way. That doesn’t mean they’re wrong in those ideals, but the way they tried to fix things… they interacted with Cutler, why didn’t they try to influence him to fix things? Or any other senior technical leaders?

A overly reductionist argument. They described any commercial software company because in the end, you sell or you die. Microsoft has incredible software people and incredible software that coexists with the shitty software people and shitty software.

I’m amused but I guess not shocked or surprised that some people below this comment have different limits on what they’ll do for money than I do. I 100% would not spend any significant time restricting my freedom in jail for ANY amount of money. You can extend my principle to doing other things for money, also. I think my principle might come down to: I won’t trade myself (me, I don’t mean my time or my knowledge) for money. I won’t relinquish my autonomy or control for your money. Yet some will.

TBH I’m not sure I’ve read anything from Gentry Lee that I really loved.

The only way you can use FB imo.

lol! Me too! I remember the alien interaction dialog and this word.

Why this reaction? Please, look at everything going on in the US and the world not just this one aspect.

Except that’s just normalizing his behaviors.

Haven’t you ever experienced having a story read to you, and falling into deep immersion and visualization?

Let me tell you about this thing called saliva…

Not when so much meat has sugar added to it.

And do that individually for each of the thousands of photos? There’s no select All. Yikes.

Go somewhere you’re valued? Why compromise your own values to make your manager happy.

Empathy is a super power because it helps you understand people and connect with them, and connecting and collaborating is how we succeed. You’re deciding to cut that off in response to what sounds like a shit situation, like cutting off your own fingers.

"I want my heart to harden."

You're just at a different place in the curve of rationalizing other humans' behaviors and motivations and how they affect you. Your response is not invalid, but it makes me sad, because you think it's the best response for you. Why wouldn't you instead hold on to your empathy and make it your super power?
