Every single online service needs a "don't serve me AI generated content with human content unless I ask for it" feature.

I know the arguments for normalization and the efficiency of modern rdbms, but there's always a part of me that looks at a few 100b of data spread across a dozen tables and all accessed together and gets sad thinking about how much easier some nested structs and arrays would be.

(Technically, I lived through the swing revival, but that wasn't long enough or cool enough to count.)

One of my great regrets in life is not having grown up in a culture where being able to dance well was a standard path to impressing girls. I would probably be a good dancer.
Instead, I can play a few Dave Matthews songs on guitar.

I seem to be on the same evening walk schedule as a rather large urban coyote; we see it most nights now.
Would seem cool if my dog wasn't desperate to play with it.

@jamesacowling I was mostly feeling odd about the asymmetry of asking folks to spend time on a survey that'll probably be summarized to a few lines by AI when the employer doesn't spend the effort to talk, but yeah it's also very different signal quality. I suspect subtext is text ½ the time..

Given that my previous experience with reference checks was "you list a couple names, and nobody probably calls them", interacting with a system that wants detailed personal info about them and then sends them an automated survey about you feels a bit jarring.

@zeeg Give yourself some credit, bet you could whip up bogosort pretty easily. Or sleepsort (https://t.co/DURF0qBy31).

Saw some coding interview prep guidance that recommends familiarizing yourself with 4 or 5 sorting algorithms at the same level it recommends being aware of hash tables.
That strikes me as crazy. Is that crazy?
I've impled most of the classics, but >99.999% of code calls 'sort'.

There's a weird part of me that is frequently tempted to just turn LinkedIn into my personal blog.

The plan? We’ll start a sparkling wine business out of Champaign, IL

that's gotta validate their choice of Go for typescript a bit, a quick 5x compile time improvement https://t.co/TqZf1PFUZt

Gradually, all the ads I'm seeing on here have become normal tweets from engagement-hungry weirdos.

I used to push back on this via youthful arrogance and obliviousness, but the fact that I frame seeing myself as capable as based in personality flaws says I probably have more work to do.

[kylemisc @kylemisc]

It's not ideal for me professionally that I come from a household culture of not taking credit, always taking blame, if I can do it it's not that impressive, and if it's important there's probably someone more qualified.

I have the specific kind of anxiety that comes from responding to multiple Calendar Availability forms with the same days without having yet heard back.

A very smart friend of mine, high level tech guy, just doesn't use any social media,, doesn't really check his phone or follow news sites.
Inspiring.

High value bribes are a great parenting tool for determining what your kids are actually capable of.

I vaguely understood it to be an international military cooperation thing, which isn't nearly enough to understand it's significant geopolitical relevance over the last decade or so.

I get the sense that more Americans are ignorant of the purpose and history of NATO than should be. I know I was, likely despite my HS teachers efforts.
