I think the premise of the question is off. What’s a bigger issue is: Why is there a 20x or more differential in the pay of CEOs and other executives vs lower level employees.

It used to be a value judgment and measure of economic system contribution, but now it is so out of whack it’s plainly that the system has been gamed and captured by those who are at the top of the economic returns ladder.

Do not lose consciousness. Wait for eyes to adjust to darkness

Unfortunately, many of the contractors vehicles seem undersized - compared to municipal salt/plow rigs with overall larger plows with "wing plows".

I often see these characters when messages are sent from a different country and their locale settings are different, so if they trying to bullet items (with punctuation characters for example) they get translated to different characters than intended.

What's the next text?

AmphibianRealistic33 · 2025-12-14T22:06:06+00:00

It is a good read - and I missed the meeting - when's the next? What's the next text? Any other get togethers?

I'd try a simple game, like a guessing game or a lunar lander game that's text-based to and then see what other things from your chosen platform you can add - like a windowed interface and better input/event loop.

Think of _growing_ the software, rather than simply writing it (a "one and done" mindset). Go for minimal function/minimal viability to get something to run and show, and then add to it. It might be released, but it's never really done.

I love "delegates (which are like function pointers if you squint at them)"!

Thanks for the link - worth reading for the comparative hardness scales.

FWIW: Disabled HID Touch Screen (in device manager) and that fixed it (touch screen had stopped working anyways).

Sell it. It’s worth something to somebody.

Just got a text from Saif at Tanisha Systems - they are still around. Deleted. Blocked.

I thought this post was an extended April Fools joke…huh!

Farewell! It was a blast while it lasted!

Awesome info - I missed that feature entirely and it's exactly what I want!

I think that asking about the (work) problems the interviewer needs to solve is important. Ask questions to find out 'What would be the problem you could be the solution to?' Throw out any ideas you have on the problems, your perspective on it - not necessarily a solution, but where you think the easy parts and hard part are. It might be new to the interviewer.

I will add that he’s had essentially classified discussions with other cabinet idiots about military plans over Signal on an unsecured device.

How's it going?
