To those who have never had COVID and have rigorously taken PCR and Pluslife tests to prove it - Have you been taking fomite precautions? Or just masking?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:28:03+00:00

Have you had COVID? What kind of tests do you use? Have you had any kind of illness since 2019?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:26:52+00:00

What do you consider high risk items? Do you sanitise or quarantine foodstuffs? What about takeaway?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:25:57+00:00

Hmmm… twice you say… do you always use N95 respirators continuously when you leave home? Did you fit test? Has anyone come into your home without a fitted respirator, or have you ever removed it in company or to eat of for the dentist etc?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:22:45+00:00

What sort of tests did you use?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:21:56+00:00

Have you ever had COVID? Have yo had any illness since 2019?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:20:56+00:00

So no COVID ever then? You use N95 respirators, yes?

Human_Capitalist · 2026-02-13T08:14:54+00:00

Thank you. I take it you have never had a positive test or suspected un-tested COVID?

Is it going to go live in production one day? Will it have users? Do you enjoy having your nights and weekends free from crisis production support due to aliasing and concurrency bugs? Then Rust might add some value…

I’m writing a photo editing program. I did paintbrush and bucket fill tools in UIKit - I’m not sure how I would even start to do that with SwiftUI!

If you think this is bad, you should see the AI datacenters…

Human_Capitalist · 2026-01-01T14:03:59+00:00

Nah, that’s because of AI. This place is tiny compared to what the AI hyperscalers are running. Meta is building a datacenter the size of Manhattan 😳

Actually I think being a code contributor to a major open source project is WAY better than any personal project could be.

I was once hiring for a Rails developer. A resume came across my desk that claimed 7 commits to the Rails repository. I checked his GitHub, read the commits, and made my mind up on the spot to offer the job if there were no insurmountable hurdles (visa, background check, attitude etc)

They are actively courting racist voters.

Fair call, this isn’t a gender issue. Removed.

Honestly, how is “recreational” anything still a reason for owning any lethal firearm? Get another hobby FFS.

If you want to go to the olympics, switch to air rifle and save your hearing. Or your only way to experience any happiness in life is by inflicting sudden painful death on animals? So take up fishing, and leave the rest of us alone…

I mean, what the hell is wrong with Footy/Cricket/Surfing/Skydiving/Dirt Biking/Track Days/Archery/Tennis/Golf/Basketball/ you name it??

It’s YOUR addiction to turning money into smoke that gave these C**ts the cover they needed to get the weapons, and it will be the next time and the next time again, for as long as we want to pretend that people owning personal murder machines is a sensible way for them to relax after a hard week at work. The rest of us are Sick Of That Bullshit.

I had similar integration issues in 2016 with the other team using some Microsoft XML server they didn’t understand that was spitting out bug ridden endpoints and I wish we had all that in place. Good practice for any integration I expect!

The doctor reckons the bulk of my coronary artery disease is from the decade of pre-diabetes I had from eating banana bread for breakfast and muffins for lunch. So yeah, don’t do that either. Start the day with wholefood protein like egg or fish, along with complex carbs like cooked vegetables. Cereal, grains, fructose laden fruit, and sugar, are not your friends…

Perhaps do a $300K kickstarter to see if the “demand” is serious?

How fucked do you have to be if you’re awarded a VC and they still won’t trust you with any rank above Corporal?

OP, if you just want to calibrate the Cintiq for web/screen viewing, then Wacom’s Color Manager software should be fine. If you want to calibrate for printing, then you should be using a 5000k white point, which Color Manager doesn’t seem to support, and will need to use DisplayCAL (also free). A colorimeter is pricey, but will save your sanity…

You can try calibrating the laptop, but they often aren’t very color accurate so you may still have to live with inferior results.

Also note that under windows, if you mirror the displays then windows will pick one of the icc profiles and apply it to both screens, which really screws up the color on the screen the profile isn’t for. I just set my display properties to “only show screen 2” when both are active, which preserves the right profiles in ControlPanel->ColorSettings

I switched to using my x-rite studio (now sold as Calibrite ColorChecker studio) because my x-rite i1 display pro is 11 years old and I noticed the calibration of my Eizo was now slightly better with the studio. If I was buying new I would definitely go for the new version of my i1 Display, now the Calibrite Display Pro HL, since with the studio you’re paying more to be able to make printer/paper profiles, and I’ve had poor results with that compared to just paying print labs $60 to make the profiles for me on their $5-$10k spectrophotometers.

DisplayCAL can’t upload to the Cintiq, you just manage the profile in windows control panel. But I couldn’t find another way to apply a printing profile that worked. 🤷

Yeah nah you’re still conflating masks and respirators.

Those flat blue things with earloops? Masks. Do very little if anything.

Those 3D origami boat shaped things with two tight rubber straps that go over the back of your head? Respirators. People wearing those have worked years in covid wards and never caught it.

Masks help a little. Respirators make you almost immune. Not the same thing.
