Lawful neutral. Definitely not a cat in a hat. Opinions are of Cthulhu. what/why.
3d printing trick: when designing a complicated part that's supposed to interface with something (idk, a phone case):
- Export a 2d drawing in 1:1 scale and print it on a regular printer. Cut it out and fit to the part. Pros: very quick and cheap iteration. Cons: meh precision, unless you have god-level scissors skills, hard time with non-flat parts.
- Make a simplified template part that's quick to 3d print and fit that. If you got some dimensions wrong, adjust, cut away all elements that fit well and re-print. Pros: actually representative of the accuracy your printer will be able to give you, can fit non-flat parts. Cons: kind of slower, though not nearly as bad as printing and scrapping the full part.

The knight rode up to the dragon's lair.
"Dragon!" he called. "Are you still lying on your hoard?"
"I... yes," the dragon replied, after a while.
"Is it hard to get up?"
"...it is."
"Is it your body, your mind, or your heart that makes it so?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I want to help."

tech be like:
hiring a staff engineer: one req, six hours of interviews
promoting to staff: a ten page promo doc requiring months of effort, feedback from dozens of colleagues, and approval by six layers of management
… and then we wonder why the average tenure is so short.

@glennf @gruber A great feature for any Mac with ≥2 USB C ports would be built-in cable testing. You plug both ends of one cable to the Mac, and the OS automatically detects that, no UI needed, and pops up a dialog saying “this cable supports x mbps and x Watts power delivery”. That’s it, there is no step 3!

Why are so many C developers self-taught? Because C doesn’t have classes!

🌹i just got the best pop up I've ever received on a website, on @stefan 's website
Icon For Hire is kind of like Falling in Reverse, but with good vibes. Both are good music though.
How come every time I come across a cool metal band, it's swedish?

It occurred to me today that the social value of the open-source work I do in my free time has probably been an order of magnitude more useful to the world than everything I've ever done as a paid employee. Needing to seek a wage almost certainly makes me a less productive member of society than I would otherwise be.
A delusion data-driven companies seem to develop is that any complex product can be represented with a single, easy to interpret SLO.
