  i think this misses a pretty big part of it, which is finding new people. i used to go on forums for things i was interested in, that’s how i found interesting people to talk to. now, i read conversations on mastodon to find interesting people.

  put it this way, i’m no patrick stewart. i did not pull the look off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How often do guys have a haircut?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  i shave my head twice a week, because i have the fantastic luck to have incredibly thick hair, and since 22, mpb.

  most artists dislike the entire idea of copyrighting a color for the singular purpose of limiting its use to one person. some people care more about copyrights than others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i despise doing null checks as operators, because everyone does them differently. python’s a is not None is immediately obvious and you don’t have to think about chaining rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  always remember that code is read more than it is written. complex lines need to be deciphered, simple lines don’t. especially fun with symbols that have nonlocal effects like rusts ?.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨proportional reaction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  luas operators are all text in order to be readable. more symbols makes code less readable.

  if you want a one line operation that gives a default result, use or: local a = b or c is equivalent to if b then a = b else a = c end.

  there’s a measurable difference in input lag from the original. like 100ms difference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clock logic⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe this is because i grew up in a house that had a clock with handn but no numbers, but wth do you mean “the 6 means 30”.

  analogue clocks consists of two progress bars. the numbers are just for convenience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That one friend.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  at first i thought it was about the “one friend” that always takes pictures of everyone without asking.

  as an outer wilds fanatic, i think that would be a great option!

  i’m not sending anything that can be edited. last time i did that as a consultant they stripped our company logo out of the documents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i was a ta in uni in 2011-2015 and while ipad babies weren’t a thing yet we did definitely have to explain to some people what files were. as far as i understand from my contacts at the university it it’s way worse now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  our lab computers ran novell netware, which definitely told me that microsoft wasn’t all there was. but yeah, it definitely conditioned an entire generation into only understanding windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  sure, but computers are so much more than office suites.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  .tex is a source format, not a presentation format, and as such should not be valid in a submission field.

  they should take .ps though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah but that’s fairly recent.

  when i was in school in the late 90s it was all microsoft all the time. we had courses specifically on Microsoft^TM^ Word^TM^. that sort of indoctrination isn’t visible in the workplace until the people going through it are old enough to work.
