i like cars (cool designs, neat engineering, fun to drive, fun physics) but i hate cars (traffic infrastructure, arbitrary return to office, overwhelming regulatory failure enabling a feedback loop of increasing vehicle size and weight contributing to the highway death epidemic, auto industry, they're all a privacy disaster now)

2024-05-02 21:46:36

if there is any takeaway from the modern era it's that if we ever get a do-over on tech/engineering we have to keep the MBAs out

i think something that has made the desktop linux experience more palpable to me now is not only that it seems to have gotten more user friendly in general, but also that it barely requires more effort than chasing down issues on the commercial operating systems at this point, especially windows

2024-02-28 22:34:48

the way i've just naturally gotten into the habit of doing things like "copying links and pasting them into the url bar instead of clicking them" and "stripping exif data from images before uploading them to something" feels like the modern version of how people used to try to ward off demons

something i like about doing school in 2024 is other students not only make more pleasing pronoun guesses than i'm used to but also tend to follow that up with "actually what are your pronouns?" just in case

*philomena cunk voice* programmers hate code. But they also hate happiness, which is why they buy those tall screens so they can look at lots of it

did anyone ever make like a manual version of those continuously variable transmissions where you just get a big lever to slide through the gear ratios, because that sounds fun

holy shit, i just got an incognito youtube homepage with a full row of far right propaganda!! "jordan peterson on god", "elon musk talks to tucker carlson" (complete with "WATCH THIS BEFORE IT'S DELETED" thumbnail), joe rogan talks about bud light, and fox news on hunter biden yet again
(as always, incognito youtube is when I open youtube in incognito with no login or existing session, I do not get these recommendations regularly when logged in & do not engage with any of them on any of my devices)

my operating system situation rn is like
windows: good for accessing network shares, necessary in order to run (or tweak) a windows app, useless for hardware virtualization unless you buy windows 10 pro (i will not)
macos: basically 100% useless for accessing network shares, but good at almost everything else. not good for virtualizing x86 windows (if the host machine is arm, which it is)
linux: pretty good for accessing network shares, great for virtualizing x86 windows with hardware virtualization, but bad if you want to do anything other than fix linux problems

"autistic people don't handle change well" society is burning down because new information on things like covid, climate change, and even sociological topics (such as trans people existing) is so upsetting to the neurotypical masses it can't even be brought up without some of them seeing it as antagonism

@npub1rzy…zpg7 ooh yeah that sounds about right, thanks. "server with desktop experience" is probably the version i'm after, maybe i can experiment with that. i just want to run the things i want to run with none (or less) of the Shit

anyway, while i'm having more thoughts. is there anything preventing you from virtualizing windows but just like, the parts that you actually need. like where's the windows vm that just has the apis and file system access and doesn't include Pewdiepie's Epic Candy Crush Terms & Conditions Minecraft Fuckfest Party Edition

2023-06-05 20:15:01

anyway since there's a lot of shares and clicks and stuff going on today, if anyone who works anywhere that hires programmers would like to hire a programmer, please let me know (i am a programmer) :3

https://blogs.cdc.gov/niosh-science-blog/2023/02/03/diy-filtration/ i don't think i'd heard about this cdc study on diy air filtration until now (it only came out in february of this year so it's pretty recent) but hot damn, the best case scenario (better filters + universal masking) showed a 94% reduction in relative exposure.
it's a good piece, very readable, and mentions a lot of other useful things, but 94%

new mildly cursed javascript thing i learned: you can write a function outside of a class scope that accesses instance fields (this.etc) and then assign that function to a field, then call it and have it work
class bitch{
constructor (){
this.asdf = hnngg;
this.stringy = ":3";
}
function hnngg{
alert(this.stringy);
}
bitch.asdf() would generate a :3 alert

anyway randomly posting again that if anyone knows anywhere that might like to hire a programmer, let me know :3 I've done the most with C# but i've also had my hands in python, java, some C, some C++, etc. Lately I've been working on a browser game from scratch in vanilla javascript, which you can test (an already-slightly-behind-the-repo version of) at https://chrisisgre.at/spacetoaster/SpaceToaster.html :3. I have no degree or experience and everyone has been ignoring me since the layoffs started, but I did one three-part interview right before then and they said I was a natural software engineer :blobfoxmeltsob:
