- Comment on Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success? 4 days ago:
The MAGA types used to talk about an education when it was a way to insult people who make the minimum wage and make it their fault that they were underpaid. They didn’t actually want peoples’ lives to be better, but rather to find a way to look down on entire classes of humans.

It’s not just CA. The closest one to the west coast is in Arizona. Most are in the south with some extending into the Midwest or up the east coast.
- Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions? 1 week ago:
Back in the day, you scanned the disk. Folder by folder, file by file. If what you were looking for appeared early in your search, you were golden. It turns out, though, that scanning a filesystem is computationally very complex and takes a long time. Not something you might notice so much on a PC, but something that you would notice on a server. So, instead, you want to index the disk, slowly and over time, and then you search against the index. This works well in a server, but no so much on a workstation. Well there’s really no difference between Windows 11 and Windows Server 2024 except for some fine tuning of resource allocation. Essentially, you get the very (for desktops) ineffective server version.

I have thought about this over the years. If I am in a loop, it’s “which PhD am I doing this lifetime?” or “so I guess I am going to be the world’s best cabinetmaker this round.”

Also these first impression moments are good because you can predict how they would treat you if you worked there. I walked away super annoyed and didn’t care that I didn’t get called back in. I was way overqualified for the position but was also desperate for one since I had just moved back to the country and needed to sponsor my spouse for residency.

Based on the context and my own personal experience as a person who has interviewed hundreds as a hiring manager --not syaing I do this, just that I understand-- they said “HEY FRANK WE NEED YOU TO SIT IN THIS INTERVIEW IN 30 MINUTES. K THANKS” and Frank showed up and tried to pretend that he knew what was going on.
