"This writing looks computer-generated" as a compliment is kind of blowing my mind

OOC, do you view Intel's projections as being too slow or just plain wrong (i.e., impossible)? I am not knowledgeable about this industry or the engineering behind it, just follow it casually, and I'm shocked to see 1.4nm on a slide.

Imagine believing that anyone, anywhere was ever "neutral".

I think that it's hard to determine people's desires from voting habits. Voting is kind of a game, wouldn't you say? It's got teams and everything, almost like a spectator sport.

When asked directly, though, progressive policies (or whatever word you want to use here to mean "anti-misery") are very popular!

You sound like an exceptional person!

I don't want to live in a society that requires everyone to be as exceptional as you are in order to live comfortably.

This is like describing socialism as being about authoritarian governments and centrally planned economies. Everybody misuses labels to their advantage.

Wow, I love this. It'll be stuck in my head for a long time, thank you.

I really love this thread!

I spent a few years doing indie game development, and one of this biggest lessons that stuck with me was how to think about a product as an experience. To me, game design was mostly that, but focused on making the experience fun, I guess. A huge amount of time and effort went into thinking about what the end user's experience would be like. By instinct, I tend to lean on thinking about the "player's" experience.

Hmm, what if we cut everything out except for the space race?

I definitely buy this. I've blogged about personal projects, and writing out plans for a project tends to take some wind out of its sails. It's motivating to share progress, though.

I just want the keyboard to last longer than a year without breaking.

Software engineering is broad and deep. If you want to explore, go explore. You may make less money, but you may make more. You may like something else less, but you may like it more. I think it’s up to you!

That said, I never stayed put very long in any particular programming job. Embedded systems were fun, but I was curious to learn about the cloud, so I went to Salesforce. YMMV

What does that even mean?
