@ID_AA_Carmack re: "I don’t have “golden ears” to pick apart audio quality like I can with, say, missing gamma correction on texture filtering"

My working belief is that even if end users don't have "golden ears/eyes" there is still a gain in enjoyment (even if they can't articulate why)

@falco_girgis This post significantly restored my faith in software engineering, like a health bar refilling after a potion or some shit

@MsMelChen This makes a lot of sense. The written equivalent equivalent of “Boston Cracked Shoe” (a thing I recently learned about)

It’s probably a skill issue but: the “V” in Scrabble/Crossplay should be worth like 25 points seriously that letter can burn in hell

@darmstadiym @ID_AA_Carmack https://t.co/JVKEsAVudr has the origin of the "Burger" nickname. It's fairly literal. At her first industry job she had a stash of hamburgers in her desk 😀

@ID_AA_Carmack John, you and Becky are both heroes to me. But what's up with the misgendering? Rebecca preferred female pronouns.

@PartOfYouGame Fantastic news!

@noaudiophile It's a really interesting question tho and I'm not really qualified to speak on it (but of course I did anyway. it's the internet)

[existential tingle @JohnBooty]

@noaudiophile Unlike most gnosticism I'm aware of (which, at least ostensibly, "cuts out the middle man" and allows for direct connection with the divine) Shinto relies pretty heavily on priests, places of worship, etc.

Does Musk know that you can vote for any candidate at any polling station and that there aren't like, special places to vote for each candidate?

@drvolts I loathe Trump with all my soul, but the rationale of many Trump voters is: "he's probably an asshole, but he advances the things we like (e.g. abortion bans) and that is more important. Not like we have to have dinner with the man."

@SebAaltonen @catalinmpit In my recent experience, 6-7 interviews was typical just for an individual contributor role.

Standard seemed to be:
- 4 or 5 interviews with folks who would be your peers
- 1 interview with your prospective manager
- Then a final interview w/ VP
