  Sometimes I regret my choice of doing software engineering only to be glued to a computer my whole adult life working at optimizing systems for large corporations to maximize their already huge profit and contributing nothing of significant value to humanity.

  I’d rather be riding around on an ATV outdoors with the sun and trees and flowers and birds collecting soil and rocks and stuff.

  Taiwan is not China though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Slaps 25% Tariffs On Canada & Mexico, 10% On China⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought he hated China. China is basically this close to flooding the world markets with practically every consumer good and messing up economies. But he decides to go after his closest economic allies.

  At least they are “without conservatives”, unlike our current political context.

  Well yeah. They fall asleep like that as the temperatures drop. Then the ice forms around their snout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s the right thing to do⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they usually fall asleep underwater with only their snout sticking out of the ice?

  What’s that last one? A nose smells better than it tastes? Or are we talking boogers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IEEE 754⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So you have to remember how it’s represented in the system with how the bits are used? Or you just have to remember some general rules that “if you do that, it’ll fuck up.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IEEE 754⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. I don’t have to remember that.

  I just have to remember the limits and how you can break the system. You don’t have to think about the representation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IEEE 754⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Since 2008.

  I’ve worked as a build engineer, application developer, web developer, product support, DevOps, etc.

  I only ever had to worry about the limits, but never how it works in the background.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IEEE 754⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The very wide majority of IT professionals don’t work on emulation or even system kernels. Most of us are doing simple applications, or working on supporting these applications, or their deployment and maintenance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IEEE 754⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL! Man I learned that in college and never used it ever again. I never came across any scenarios in my professional career as a software engineer where knowing this was useful at all outside of our labs/homework.

  Anyone got any example where this knowledge became useful?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware of BigReddit®⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How does college suck out intelligence and creativity?

  You gotta go to Sherbrooke, Quebec for the best poutine. Or else Montreal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cultural differences⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We give 5$ bills to strippers, which are worth aboot 1$ US. Plus you gotta factor in the inflation, eh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There is only 1 choice⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I normally don’t care when celebrities pass away. But I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died. And I’m still sad about it.

  Bro. How do you even cut a baobab tree???

  At most people have been cutting into the tree. Maybe you can search for “cut baobab tree”?
