I was working at a hotel job part time while doing a bachelor’s business degree when I finished the exam prep up to a point where I didn’t see a benefit and tried out codecademy.

I had an incredibly pure joy of just creating shitty webpages and doing assignments, learned some javascript and then it hit me.

I started a compsci degree, stopped working and got some student loans and overkilled every programming assignment. I basically thought “If programming is the most valuable part, I’m just gonna max it at the cost of everything else” and it was a fantastic choice.

I applied to all the jobs in Iceland, nobody took me in so I started applying to bunch of jobs in all of Europe. Ended up landing my first job in Germany and that’s where it my career started.

I’m happy you like it, it’s been stuck in my brain for months and I still think it’s a bit funny.

I think European Union is weird with some accents. It sounds almost like “Europinyinyinyin”

Nordic countries are the best example. A lot of Europe might fit depending on how low “low social and economic equality” is defined.

In a 2D game Y is up. Going from 2D to 3D would make sense to add another dimension forward to account for depth.

However if you start with a map of a 3D surface then North is Y and East is X you’d add Z to account for elevation like everybody making maps would.

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

“baked” pun intended maybe?

You could buy a toy camera. Pretty sure most people don’t want to shit in front of a camera

Where can I enlist for this war on cars?

Either way I read the article and I absolutely love everything they are saying Furnas is going to do.

I want to highlight a thingy in the article, NYT mentions “What about the mobility of seniors?” like they are all allowed to drive or have someone to drive them around if not.

There are around 10% more settings. I really like the ones “Automatically save drafts” and “Separate up and down votes”

I’ve been using boost for the past year, and I just switched to Summit last week. Recommend trying it out.

I have 1065 Ti without any issues. The “nvidia not compatible” sentiment is outdated and they started playing ball recently by working on open source drivers. Nvidia is huge in the AI space and AI computing is pretty much 100% Linux.

There are gaming issues though on Linux in the form of anti-cheat systems, but other than that running things with Steam Proton just works although specific games that use obscure windows APIs might not be as performant.

Dirt 3 used the NTsynch for the NTFS filesystem and once it got fixed the frame rate saw a massive jump for example.

Long term people are supporting Linux gaming a lot more since it’s already 3% of the playerbase and requires pretty minimal effort for added 3% audience to make Steam Proton play work. Also with the release of the Steam Machine 2026 is going to be the Year of the Linux Desktop™

Here’s the FT article the graphic is from

I don’t mind billionaires as long as everything is fairly taxed.

Is it really so hard to self host the analytics with an open source analytics solution? I don’t know why people at any scale of more than 15 devs would want that kind of security risk.

I understand that they need to have it clear for first responders but parking on the sidewalk makes the sidewalk less usable. Also if first responders need to get through a street having the sidewalk available to get the car out of the way is more beneficial instead of street full of cars.

Then there’s the thing where cars will fill up the parking spots when possible and since it’s not a metered parking spot there’s a good chance it’ll not get checked very often.

In my view the result is effectively making the sidewalk smaller as if they would just remove it up to the 1.6m and replace it with on street parking. Investing in bike paths that can be used by first responders like in the Netherlands is a more effective way to deal with the same problem.

For me the best is shorts or sweatpants always with optional sweater or t-shirt, ideally not both at the same time. Crucially no socks or underwear, I prefer washing clothes more often to wearing underwear.

This could potentially be done with an identity system that allows a company to verify the age a user while not knowing anything else. Although I trust pretty much nobody to do it while respecting privacy and security.

It’s a deadlock situation and can arise without any screw ups. Imagine the buses being 5x as long and all reach the intersection at the same time as an example. All have space to enter the roundabout but they’ll reach the same situation as in the picture.

To fix this people uses signals and can be done by having the buses follow “Only 1 or 2 articulated (double) buses are allowed into the roundabout at a time”. A rule like that might be required if you have a lot of articulated buses. The risk of this happening depends on how many ways you can enter a roundabout no a bus like that, how long the buses are, how frequently they run and how big the roundabout is.
