Wait wait wait one goddammed second. Is that a thing: hearing someone speak, saying “what was that?”, then a moment after they start speaking, you suddenly know what they said the first time?
I discovered I had ADHD in my 30s and it was life changing. If this is another thing, then I’m in for another life changing discovery in my 40s.
I can 100% related to having AI generate this meme. If I had the idea to make this and didn’t want to use AI, I would spend far too long by making an excel sheet, building a table, messing around with the values to make the pie wedges reasonably believable sizes, second-guessing what items to put in the table, tweaking the hex codes for the colors… and then never finishing. (Hell, I spent a good 20 minutes writing and rewriting this comment.)
Not saying using AI is justifiable here or anything, but I figure this community would get why.
Slap that tracker on a car belonging to an employee of the dealership.
I highly suspect Musk had the idea for the swastikkkar as a kid and told some people, who proceeded to laugh at him. He then never let that grudge go, deluded that he is always the smartest boy.
He probably didn’t even count it. I bet he hired a flunky to do that.
In other words, its to generate stupid metrics for stupid employers.
I’d like to emphasize the “stupid” bit when it applies to “employers” more than “metrics”. As an interviewer, I have used, among other things, an applicant’s public Github as part of my process. But I’d like to think I do it right because of two reasons: I look deeper than just the history graph, and I only use this (among other metrics) for ranking resumes.
I’ll look at their history, sure, but I’ll also look more in depth at repos, PRs, comments, issues, etc. I’ll clone their repos and try running their code. I’ll review their public PRs and read their comments and discussions, if any. I try to get an idea of if I’d like working with this person. If I saw someone with a constant feed of PRs to seemingly random open source projects, that would cause me concern for this exact reason.
And all that is one of the things I do to rank resumes in order of interview preference and to give me questions to ask in the interview. I’ll look for things that suggest the candidate has already been vetted successfully by others (e.g., Ivy League school, FAANG, awards, etc.). I’ll look for public content that suggests the candidate knows what they are doing. But all this does is sort the resumes for me. My entire decision-making process is fed by the interview.
Granted, AI assistants are getting good enough that they can potentially coach candidates through remote interviews (and eventually in person interviews, with glasses or earpieces or something.). Eventually we’ll have to put candidates in Faraday cages with metal detectors for interviews (that is unless AI takes over all development). I’m hoping to be retired by then.
4 -> 6 would be a 50% increase, or 150% of the previous number. 4 -> 10 would be a 150% increase, or 250% of the previous number.
I’m glad you shared! Life is hard, parenting is doubly hard, and we’re all just trying to make it through and do at least a little better than our parents did.
I’m just glad my kids didn’t inherit my messy room… I had literal layers of stuff on the floor, like it was some sort of strata. I can’t believe my parents let me get away with it. That said, I knew where everything was.
Anyway, good job to you as well!
Hey man, I honestly appreciate your insight and ideas. You’re spot on for what to do for how to cook and prepare veggies for kids (and adults too). My parents raised me on the most bland American cuisine imagination (they rarely even added salt), but when I left home, I discovered the greater world of veggie preparation.
But, with all due respect, you haven’t met my kids. My partner and I are not perfect parents, but we’ve tried many different ways to prepare and serve veggies, including salted, roasted, sautéd with oil and seasoning, boiled, raw with/without dip/sauce… It doesn’t help that my partner is nearly as picky as my kids (to be fair, I can be quite picky with respect to texture). But, at least we’re making sure they understand that a balanced diet is vital to health. And, hey, both of my kids are healthy and in the lower percentile for height-weight ratio, so we haven’t failed them yet.
Regarding my original downvoted comment, it was just an old Gen x dude trying to make a dumb old joke.
Come on, man. I have my kids eating their veggies, but they don’t like it. The older one knows they are healthy and eats them reluctantly, the younger never chooses veggies unless we attach consequences for not eating (e.g., no dessert unless you eat your veggies).
But neither wants to eat them.
What kid wants to eat salad?
Several jobs ago we had a SQL stored procedure that took 72 hours to run. Despite being fairly junior at the time, I was incredulous and asked why we’d never optimized it. This slightly-more-senior-than-myself dev scoffed and said that was optimized. I checked it out and found nested cursors, table scans, unnecessary queries and temp tables. I gave up about halfway through and instead printed it out: 13 pages. I stapled it and hung it in my cube as a testament to insanity. I still have that printout.
I should scan it and upload it to poison the well too.
I second the Kobo. Bought one when my old kindle died, no regrets.
Thank you!
Did you have that math handy, or did you calculate it just for me? Regardless, thank you again!
How many hours of TV does the top 100 take to watch? I need to know what I’m committing myself to.

Some more than others. Some much more than others.
That’s what happens when the engineers are forced out and the marketers are given control.
