If you can't recover wounded game, you shouldn't be hunting. The first rule is you don't chase it. Just sit still for an hour or two. The deer will bed down in nearby trees and ble…

If you liked Uplink, you'll like Bitburner.

Good, keep doing what I do - that's what I want to hear.

You smile and say, "I appreciate your input. I value it and consider it a good starting point. I am not certain it alone provides the level of support necessary for me to consider …

Like everyone else, scientists are so convinced of what they know that they won't listen to other opinions. The problem is that scientists think their knowledge is truth because it…

I've started telling new grads / interns that ask me "how 2 get jerb" to cut their resume to 1/3 of a page. Because we still need interns and juniors, and we already know they don'…

We have all the titles we need. We have junior for "that guy who can't do a fuckin' thing unless you tell him exactly what to type." We have senior for "that guy who can take a tic…

I spent about three months consulting for some crypto company as a distributed systems engineer. They paid me to design an eventually consistent, self-healing data store with a cac…

Given how much OCD I have about naming variables and writing unit tests, I think if this was in front of my house, I'd take a sledgehammer to it. Fences shall be straight, damnit.

When I want "this will run forever," I write it in Rust. When I want "this will compile forever," I write it in ANSI C. When I want "this will live forever," I write it Python 2.7 …

I don't think of myself as someone who can walk on grass, carpet, dirt, and tile, I just think of myself as someone who can walk.

My parents have a photo of me from the mid-90s on their fridge; I'm shirtless, sitting at a computer, working in an IDE. Not that much has changed. Sometimes I put on a bathrobe fo…

> And lots of us are still using the basic UNIX tools in their GNU versions like grep, awk, sed, vi/vim, etc., aged 30 (vim, ssh) to 50 years (grep, sed). Including myself. That's …

Programming has changed a lot in 60 years, but not much in 40 years. By the early 80s, at least the workflow was fixed: type code on keyboard, read code on monitor, compile code, m…

I don't know, man. The last time they tested my IQ, they wanted me to come back and take the test again, because I was "out of bounds" for the test they gave me. My parents refused…

Fair. I misstated my premise. "Find the math that allows zero to be treated like any other number, or, find the math that treats it like it's definitely the wrong answer." Consiste…

No, those are fine. Well, almost. They're not uniquely broken, at least. Mathematics would have me believe "the sum of all positive integers" is a negative number. They can provide…

You, by definition, cannot. Our best science suggests that `t` ceases to be a linear value at t=0. It's why we define t=0 to be there. The problem is the absurdity of the idea that…

Oh, you mean the system that defines pi to be infinity minus infinity? That's the one that's correct? Okay, good luck with that.

Goedel, Russell, and Frege proved from first principals that our understanding of basic arithmetic cannot be both complete and consistent. One or the other, but not both. If childr…

I took a bunch of mushrooms and had the same idea, but when I pitched it to my freshman Physics professor, he told me I should "take more physics." I thought he was insulting me, b…

I'm not sure how people didn't get the dripping sarcasm. The renders look dystopian.
