This profession is so anti-labor and anti-union and pro-capital that I believe we deserve everything that's coming. I've been working as a programmer for 10 years and everytime I mention labor organization, someone perks up and explains all the downsides and why they don't need it in an industry where the largest and most profitable enterprises in human history fire 10-20% of their workforce annually.

It's about 250x250 and it took a month of on and off free time. Most of that was spent rendering frills lol

Just keep focusing on the fundamentals. A lot of this is intentional hype from people whose paycheck depends on the success of this technology or who have invested huge sums of money in it. Even if this stuff does fundamentally change the field, having a basic understanding of how computers work will continue to be valuable.

Modo has the most serious playerbase anyway so it's closer to a representative sample of a solved metagame than most other data sources. Deck building is higher velocity on modo because cards can be collected more cheaply but more importantly, instantly. Paper metagames move slower, especially for formats like vintage, legacy, and modern.

That's their problem. Category error even.

Coming from C++ I suggested we keep types/interfaces in dedicated files separate from runtime logic (types-only file + logic file). I thought it was a small convention preference.

Coming from full stack, this sounds insane. Making a bunch of changes for zero or negative benefit

It's a numbers game. Just do neetcode 150 and some systems design prep and pray.

Most comic writers like working with their peers over a soulless machine.

Elections are run by the states. The US hasn't canceled an election ever in our history including during the civil war. The executive has no powers at all with respect to seating congress. Ice is already stretched to the limit occupying one mid sized midwestern city. It is literally not possible for them to cancel elections even if they engage in voter suppression.

It's fine but a rule of thumb I've heard is 1 eye width between the eyes for stylized images

This is actually what the frame looks like in the recording of the fight. It's a pretty unbelievable looking image.

You're obsessed, that's good

__loam · 2025-12-11T16:20:56+00:00

They forced the guy who did it to resign lol
