irc has a very low return on investment. crazy amount of tinkering for what is ascii characters vaguely thrown in your direction. it clearly has cultural staying power (and it does act as a strong filter for technically-minded people), but

bad, bad, bad sign, when a company starts to penny pinch like that. but unfortunately very in-line with the thesis that qualcomm is getting squeezed by a commodifying market where value-add opportunity is shifting outside of the SoC platfor

it is also interesting that places where you would expect to have quite 'switched-on' software development practices tend to be the opposite - and the much-maligned 'codemonkeys' at 'big tech' infact tend to be

i think im mixing things up - that term might be unique to assault cube. in sauerbraten i remember a map called venice, everyone had snipers and its one shot to kill anyone, very satisfying if youre good and very frustrating if someones bet

i am such a slow old boomer now but i absolutely loved the sauerbraten TOSOK (Team One Shot One Kill) venice servers. also assault cube TOSOK/OSOK (dm variant). also UrbanTerror jump maps. ut_swim will always be in my heart.

idk i like linkedin. every week i get emails about jobs they think i might be interested in and its pretty on point. nice to have a centralized place for job advertisements. before that, youd have to go on each website individually which wa

youre probably right... for the public market, anyway. blackhat state actors would probably not mind having something like that. but they'd never talk about it in public. or maybe its not even neccesary, and doing something akin to fuz

it doesnt have to be traditional chat interface style. why doens't someone train an LLM on predicting source code given a sequence of input machine code tokens? that is so obvious. why does nobody do it?

unfortunately a growing segment of people see food banks as a place where you can grab goodies for free, a-la 'you'd be stupid not to!'. i think they had a similar problem in Canada. ultimately its a very politically difficul
