The key that’s so commonly used, it’s in Wikipedia.

Subspace, also known as Continuum later in its life.

Yeah I moved off nova to this. It took a bit to get used to it, but now I like it more.

go work for employers that embrace remote work
Have you not noticed the massive numbers of people being laid off right now in all sorts of industries?
Remote jobs are not easy to find right now. Employers are being very picky, and they can be when they get 100 applicants a day for a position. This is not the easy solution you make it out to be.

First post ever to complain about moderation, and you ignore the shitty comment that started it all.
Who are you the alt of?

Flying into a thunderstorm isn’t forbidden, it’s just not a good idea and generally avoided. Planes are designed to take a lightning strike without issue, I’ve been on a plane that was struck.
- Comment on How do we avoid the next airport disaster like Newark? An expert says 6G could be the solution 2 weeks ago:
Wireless is not the answer. Multiple redundant fiber paths are. This isn’t rocket science.
- Comment on I don’t know what to do with this coworker. 1 month ago:
Escalate to your manager. She’s not performing her duties, and if she’s not capable anymore then her duties need to reflect that.

We saw a brief similar traffic spike approximately an hour ago, but it dropped off pretty quick. It seemed to focus on our mlmym front end and briefly overloaded our backends for a minute.
- Comment on I'm looking to buy something like a reverse wheelbarrow, what do I call that? 2 months ago:
Check Costco. They sell carts like that since people use them for their grocery runs.
- Comment on Is Severance the new Lost? 2 months ago:
No, From is the new Lost. It’s so good though, I highly recommend it.
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 2 months ago:
They didn’t. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
Happens in small planes too www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65814758
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 2 months ago:
Shoot it down, or just get it’s attention. A lot of the time there’s a radio fuckup. If some guy cruising in his Cessna sees a fighter pull up along side, he’s definitely switching to 121.5.
Otherwise be there to shoot it down quicker if it looks like it might be taking an aggressive action.
- Comment on What happened to cylindrical plugs? 2 months ago:
Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.
Power plugs are similar problems. You can’t risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don’t care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
I think there’s a lot of grunt work artists than you might be aware of. My last job was at a video game studio and it was kinda eyeopening the amount of generic story boarding / art work they would send over to Eastern Europe / Asia to be done for cheap.
The visible side of the industry (what you’re talking about) yeah I agree, but AI is slowly going to pick away at the lower skill levels until only experts are really useful. How does a junior become an expert in that world?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
how will it change the average person’s life in 1 - 3 years?
To be blunt, it’ll probably make them worry about losing their job. AI can’t do everything and it does a lot of stuff pretty shitty, but so do a lot of people.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 2 months ago:
A lot will fail yes, but I think there’s actually a lot of value in AI and many will succeed. Blockchain has always been a solution in search of a problem, but AI actually can help in a lot of ways.

- Comment on Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume? 3 months ago:
So they can take it, modify it to fit the job description they’re trying to get a commission on, get you in, collect their commission, then disappear.
Their commission is often 25% of your yearly salary.

- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 3 months ago:
I wish I could get more into this, but yes there were some major missteps during the covid/post-covid “stocks are crazy high, money is free!” period. After that there just wasn’t really a way to recover.
Unfortunately it’s pretty hard to avoid VC money, the tech industry runs on it.
- Comment on Phoenix Labs (creators of Dauntless and Fae Farm) just laid off most of their dev team 3 months ago:
Many. Unfortunately I also can’t talk about them, yet.

Fuck Forte labs.
Phoenix was the best place I’d ever worked until they came along. Fucking bitcoin bros destroyed everything because they didn’t understand the games industry.

I don’t think we have any way to know.
My dog definitely remembers and gets excited about places when going back after years. Does he think about those places otherwise? Probably not
