So my mentor’s mentor used to program for some ancient TI machine that used drum memory. He was a master of his craft and wrote his code deliberately so it would physically align with the next rotation of the drum, ensuring the fastest reads possible, and it cut tons of time off of every process run on them.

I can’t even imagine what it is like to even write naked binary, let alone make sure every single one of my operation sets are the same length.

Arguably it was perfect optimization.

He still got laid off with zero thought when the time came.

I’s there a lesson here? I don’t know, I’m drunk

I literally have no medical alternative!

Reading this thread is letting me know how behind the times I am, like 90% of the apps are greek to me.

Used to have a huge library media server, torrenting all the day long.

But you guys, WOOHOO hosting drop servers and auto seeking subtitle and NFOs 24/7 from a curated seek list. FUCKING BRILLIANT!

I don’t got that kind of energy in my old age

Nowadays I have a handful of pirate stream sites and that’s really all I need.

TIL, appreciate it

As much as I love the tanginess of your meme, your username has earned you a permablock.

Recognizing that is a part of growth, don’t think bad of it.

I used to fucking love a cartoon about a living magical alien rubick’s cube that was so bad it didn’t even make it through the first season despite the toy being a raging success at the time.

Just like if you cringe at the stupid shit you used to do, it’s just a sign that you’ve matured enough to know it was stupid.

Yes, I did.

… it’s hard to imagine that there would be a lot to learn about stroganoff…

To be honest, WFH for me means that if they need me to fill an hour in extra or so per day, then that’s kind of already costed in with travel times.

I’ve pulled 14 hour shifts covering for PTO or sick days and it really doesn’t feel even half as exhausting as a normal in-office 8 hours.

I dunno man, they’re really happy with the work life balance and the C-suites are happy with their productivity.

It’s funny even our sales and logistics departments are wfh, and the only people I ever see on the off chance I need to load a tape rack or something is security and building maintenance.

And we’ve been RIDICULOUSLY profitable all through covid. In fact covid only served to show the remaining staff how productive WFH is.

We are making so much money rn that they don’t even CARE about property costs and they leave the lights and AC on 24/7 for maybe 2 people in the entire site, and our 3 satellite sites are just as empty.

Sure there may be some A type salesbro personalities that need to be around others to work effectively, the largely spectrum oriented development community needs no such frippery.

I work at one of the top ten data processors in the world.

ALL of our devs have been WFH since 2014 and produce better work now than ever.

And now you’re a blocked fucking idiot as well.

Most people don’t bother looking into it other than what they read on blogs or see on youtube. There’s a LOT of nutritional misinfo going around. Thats what happens when social media values reach and clout over accuracy and meaning.

Of course it is a fuckdamn lemm.ee user making this mess in the comments.

Defederate them now please. it is long been beyond time.

You really shouldn’t go by just gut instinct when it comes to scientific evidence, just saying…

The answer is simple: females in most species have a larger nutritional debt from reproduction. Making sure your partner eats is just good survival tactics.

You joke but it really is.

We are seeing the fallout of 2 world wars killing off so many fathers that the tradition of passing down male wisdom was broken, and was replaced by the ‘hollywood’ vision of masculinity, which is toxic af. Just look at how accepted slapping women was on film in the 40s-70s.

The modern chantard incel stereotype is a direct result of boys growing up with few positive male role models in their close circles and none of them having the generational wisdom of their great grandfathers to pass down.

Unfortunately, most people concerned with gender equality are so focused on dismantling the patriarchy that no one has a solid plan for re-establishing the positive male role model tradition.

All of the social signs are there, China experienced this problem several times during the Warring States period and identified the root as ‘bare branches’, men with no prospect for a marriage or future that would form bands of criminals that would go around raping and pillaging.

We are starting to see that a bit now with all of the white male mass shootings, and rape has always been a mostly invisible problem in our culture.

And it’s going to get much, much worse unless we can find a way to re-establish the value of the wholesome male role model. And if you see who the male role models the youngest generation are choosing (Logan Paul is a great example) you’ll be just as pessimistic about our immediate future as I am.

And for the longest time, mac and cheese was a luxury dish, and lobster was considered prisoner food.

It’s kind of amusing to see the eating trends of the wealthy.

At one point peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were rich food too, because they were able to afford the berries to make jam, or had land to grow them.

Nowadays it is some of the cheapest lunch you can make.

I think meat is going that route now, and in 15-20 years the only people who will be able to afford real meat will be the wealthy.

That’s not super accurate, there were still public lands for hunting and chickens and goats were eaten regularly by non-nobles.

That said, it wasn’t common to have meat at every meal.

Also: feast days, and there were a fucktonne of them (more than the pitiful handful we get nowadays) and were almost always catered lavishly by their local lord as a show of wealth.

I’m not saying life was ‘better’ then, just that we have a lot of misconceptions about historic periods, usually influenced by movies and other entertainment media.
