none of us would have turned down the dad nepotism job hbag

i mean, i certainly would have, but my father would have been a pretty terrible boss.

also most of yospos is pretty coddled, to a point where it is not much of an insult.

working 30 hours a week instead of 40+ is so much better. still kind of my passion, so bleeds into other time a touch, but up and leaving the office at 3:30 is enough to make life a lot better.

python3 added sane unicode support and had to break backward compatibility
there is no reason to break backwards compatibility again

i too have finally forgiven them for the ridiculous bungling of python3, but i do also mean that the broader ecosystem is pretty break-happy. it doesn't help that so much useful stuff tends to have some fragility to it because it has to be some kind of native module. which is also why

its the new fortran. julia had its chance and mostly failed at getting to prod

i remain pretty optimistic on this though, a bit of a computation revolution still marching along, and julia is made *extremely* flexible/performant when you do need to plug your own code into computation cores/gpu workflows. but i do admit it is more a hope than a prediction.

on the subject of computation, cjs: read a draft of an ml paper making actual headway on formally characterizing what is possible in some key models (i.e. severe limitations). extremely interesting, and i'm now struggling badly waiting for that to actually get published before i can do something with it.

I'm like 78 hours behind the times, do swedish and finland families not feed their guests?

not as a matter of course no. the thing confusing twitter a bit is that it'd then be real weird to just (without asking) feed someones kid when they're over at your house. with it not being customary their parents/guardians are probably still expecting to have a meal with them when they get home.

to be constructive; i really hate varg and burzum and all the associated garbage because they did ringlead a lot of the worst (violent, intolerant) garbage of my youth. i don't mind black metal as such though, so i'll just say i'd really appreciate if we minimize their already miniscule artistic role here.

jesus christ we are in YOSPOS. people have built computers from individual transistors in here. one of our posters emeritus just ported doom to a/ux . and you say clicking a link and waiting fifteen minutes to have a movie forever is a hassle?

are you arguing that building your own computer from transistors, in a situation where you need a computer and aren't enjoying the act of doing it in and of itself, is not a hassle? if you think janitoring your piracy hoard is fun i am not trying to keep you from doing so.

requested a thinkpad instead of a macbook at the new gig, and am learning the day before I start that linux workstations might be verboten. apparently all PCs must run windows and be managed workstations, but had I gotten a mac I'd have been allowed to run it unmanaged.

condolences, long as you get to run wsl you'll probably be fine, but if they are anal about it you might not get to.

yeah, i mean, obviously in a new job you would and should feel it out a bit. in a lot of places where you can already recognize the small fraction that is very important it is kind of good policy to make the people trying to schedule you for other stuff do a bit of work. which i think was the intent of the advice

also logging off in an hour for a three day weekend

same, and arguably better for both me and my job. do 5 mins of catching up to start, mull the issues of the day over in the shower and making coffee, launch into things very prepared and relaxed an hour later.
