At work, the team isn’t very good at python. They’re mostly SQL people. Which is fine. I’m happy to mentor and guide.

The product lady said to me “can you write a guide on confluence about how to do python good?”

I’m like, people write whole published books about that you gotta pay money for. I’m not going to bang out a couple paragraphs and code blocks and suddenly people are heavy weights.

I wrote something anyway because I don’t want to further irritate the product lady.

If you sell your game through Steam, you cannot have it cheaper anywhere else. Even DRM free version on your website. Even temporary sales.

I don’t see anything about this in their docs. The closest is “You should use Steam Keys to sell your game on other stores in a similar way to how you sell your game on Steam. It is important that you don’t give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers.”

That seems reasonable. If you’re selling DRM-free, you don’t generate steam keys, and valve has no stake in it.

I sincerely believe that being rich is bad some kinds of intelligence You don’t have to deal with problems. You just brute force your way through with money. You don’t have to practice restraint and delayed gratification. You can just buy the thing now.

People don’t understand things but that doesn’t stop them feeling ways about it.

Also the US tax system seems complicated and error prone.

if he does, that’s pretty much ww3

So I don’t want to like die in nuclear fire but if a foreign power toppled the US government and tried+convicted all the Republicans of crimes against humanity, that doesn’t sound so bad.

prohibits gatherings of more than 20 people on open land where the music played consists wholly or predominantly of “a succession of repetitive beats”

This is a monstrous law and everyone involved in its passage should be barred from politics and positions with decision making power.

I feel like most of the time saved is by skipping the part where you learn stuff. Like, the AI fills out how you do a left join with this ORM library. Cool. Now I don’t know how to do that.

You know how a lot of managers are annoying and don’t know anything about how shit works? That’s down the road using LLMs like this.

Guy at work did a whole mini project with just LLMs and prompting. I asked him some questions about how it works and some implementation details, and he had no idea. Great. I’m going to have to maintain this thing, probably.

He’s going to keep all his wealth and maybe stroll into a high paying “consulting” gig. It’s unfair. it’s unjust. People who are bad at their jobs and making the world worse do not deserve immense wealth and comfort.

If americans could learn we wouldn’t have a 2nd trump presidency. We’re on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.

Some combination of literal child and troll, I expect.

Broader experience will help you make more informed decisions about the world.

Also when you say something like “I’ve never met an atheist who didn’t celebrate Christmas” you sound extremely, let’s say, provincial, and that may have adverse consequences for you in some social contexts.

Hello.

Also meet more people of various backgrounds.

No. Voting in big elections is not the only action you take. This is a conflict with multiple fronts. You need to organize, talk to people, use every option.

Just abandoning the electoral front in this conflict is stupid

The car is already skidding on the ice. Saying “we should have taken the subway” is not useful at that point in time.

Probably because all the horrible shit trump does takes up all the space.

I’m surprised there aren’t more cancer patients who decide fuck it and aggressively crash a board meeting.

My hot take has always been that Xbox was a stupid project. They had windows. People play video games on windows. They should have made steam and something like steam machines 25 years ago.

Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don’t.

I can’t imagine why I’d want to put on an informational video and not pay attention.

I listen to music at work.
