@ryanhunn The celebration police have become the “crossing the line” police.

@msquinn We need something like CAN-SPAM for push notifications with a distinction between marketing and transactional notifications. “Your delivery is happening before 9pm” vs “Save 25% in our fall sale!”.

We had to redo those assets because of ignorance. We had to redo most of the other art assets because the use of UV space was poor and the shading in the textures amateur. This was PS2 era.

I can remember arriving at EA Redwood Shores to work on a James Bond game and being *horrified* at the lack of research done by the art team for a London level. They had clearly never even Google’d London Bus or Truck. They just made American versions of things.

@polotek I’m not saying it’s lost technically, I’m saying it’s lost from a collective knowledge perspective.

1) is missing the important word only, git log -S only helps if you know what to look for.

[Chris Killpack @killpack]

@polotek I will comment out in the short term and set a reminder to revisit later to decide if it should be removed.

[Chris Killpack @killpack]

@polotek I can think of two reasons: 1) discoverability. git log -S helps if you know what you are looking for. 2) hoarding. Written code can represent a significant amount of time, deleting code “loses that knowledge and time forever”, see 1.

I feel like Bed, Bath and Beyoncé is the collaboration that society needs to heal.

@handolio Nope. Hopeless at it.

Internal monologue: I am bad at maths.
Supportive inner voice: Re-read the article and perform simple algebraic manipulation to derive equation 6 from equations 4 & 5. Show yourself you can do it.
<< Get a different answer >>
Devil: Told you.

@MikeIsaac “From now on I’m only performing songs by Papa Roach and Evanesence!!” 😂😂

[Chris Killpack @killpack]

@allenmhc Yes exactly.

I remember back at Google the promotion process was described as meritocratic. I eventually realized it was closer to a popularity contest but the company held the belief it was acting “only on the merit”.

I did not delude myself that I was the most capable however.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

Despite what you've been told, it is rarely meritocracy that wins - it is almost always other things.

You can be the most capable person in the room, and not be the person who comes out on top.

[Chris Killpack @killpack]

@rjobling Yeah I messed around a little in WA with parts of the equation. But this is the real answer

[Charles @c_nich]

@killpack Your work made total sense to me and was correct. There's another step we missed or something; the author took an unexplained leap!

[Chris Killpack @killpack]

@MikeIsaac I read this as “caaaaaake”. Still on brand.

What has happened to Liverpool this season? They are playing like the victims of body snatchers who learned football from playing FIFA. #NAPLIV

@WrightysHouse @ryanhunn @IanWright0 @Okwonga Yeah this is clutch 🙏
