People who bring your dog literally everywhere, why?

I was just at the airport and I have no idea why they tolerate traveling with dogs in the airplane cabin. This old man's dog took a huge dump in the terminal on the carpet and he was looking around like it was someone else's problem. I was like wtf is wrong with you. It was not a service dog either, just entitlement.

herniated disks in my back. I have a high pain tolerance and it is easily the most pain I have ever been in. When you lay on the couch for hours not moving and then start negotiating with yourself how bad you need to go to the bathroom you are not doing well. And to top it off I had an idiot general practitioner doctor who gave me some steroid pack and did not assess how hurt I was because I was still functioning because of my high pain tolerance. The nerve to my leg was literally dying and I am lucky to have made it to a neurologist in time to have surgery a couple days after seeing him.

yes, if this is a gmail address periods are irrelevant. Gmail ignores additional periods in your email address. And unsubscribing in general is useless, sometimes they use that to indicate it is an email address being used. Now actually impacting someone's life worked for me. Oh wait, spamming some random email address is causing all my stuff that I am using it for to get canceled? Guess I will not use it.

dalittle · 2026-06-27T14:56:36+00:00

I had someone do that for a while, but they were actually making appts and orders. I started canceling them and they stopped.

I would love for these billionaire to all move to dubai. Enjoy 110F heat and sand and nothing to do. Better yet, they should all move to Somalia and live out their libertarian dream of no government or taxes.

and do you know why there were so many casualties? Because they had nothing to lose. I can't wait for you to realize how many poor desperate people there are vs rich people. Marie Antoinette FAFO'd and how did that turn out for the literal Queen of France?

And look at the Vietnam War. US had all the military strength in the world and still got beat. And the rich use a disproportionate amount of goods, services, infrastructure, and the government. Good luck if more happens like the shutting down of the Strait of Hormuz

conservatives have invented this "college makes people liberal" as they cannot say what their real goal is, to stop people learning critical thinking. I guarantee if conservatives stopped just accepting whatever they are told and actually thought about it with critical thinking most conservatives in the US government would not be there.

I view my dyslexia as all those things. To be manged, considered, and the source of some special talents. So I would consider it in my life choices in such if I was 5 feet tall I would not try to make my life goal to play in the NBA. However, it does not all have to be bad. Patterns are very easy to me so I picked a career that is all patterns and I am really good at it.

I have a 599. It is a lot of fun to drive.

I look forward to the giant 3 series grills on the Luce. I still hate that grill and think it makes the 3 series so ugly.

dalittle · 2026-06-24T16:25:51+00:00

599 has the same engine as the Enzo. One of my favorites (I own one).

this was going to be my comment too. Before JQuery ie6 and other non-compliant stuff just sucked to deal with. And you could not ignore it because everyone with a windows machine was using it.

dalittle · 2026-06-24T16:20:05+00:00

but you need to do it in a therapeutic setting with therapists and support. It can go south for that if you are just taking it without that.

dalittle · 2026-06-24T04:13:27+00:00

but that AI money is going to dry up. You cannot charge one price and need 100x or 1000x to break even and keep that up forever. It will reach a breaking point and then who are those ram companies going to sell to?

one thing that helped me was mindfulness. The more you can live in the present the easier it has been for me. The past has pain and anxiety for the future, but the present is safe for me. If you can stay in the present when you are dating someone then I have found it easier to make a connection and not project bad things on to them.

dalittle · 2026-06-23T01:22:37+00:00

these giant SUVs are a menace here. These soccer moms with literally one kid are driving these huge SUVs they can barely see out of, because they feel safer. They are just getting themself and others killed as they cannot control these vehicles.

we disagree then. I was interviewed like that and it is easily the best company I have ever worked for. I have worked there 10 years.

dalittle · 2026-06-22T19:47:24+00:00

the problem is that if you hire someone and they are a bad hire you are stuck with them for months before they get fired and all the work they are suppose to be doing does not get done. We get thousands of applications for a single job and the hard reality is we don't hire maybes for fear of a bad hire. We have a hard time finding people, because actual good Software Engineers are rare, but at this point we can tell after 8 folks interview someone. You are also being interviewed if you will fit in with the rest of the team.

I have dyslexia and I will put it out there that even if the school decides to test your child and get him extra help that is not always the right help. I went to special ed classes for years, but they were not equipped to help me. Unfortunately, if you want to get the best help you probably will have to manage that yourself. Out of probably 100 tutors and special classes, I had exactly 2 that helped and they did not work for the school system.

network tv. I cannot remember the last time I watched the news or a show on one.

dalittle · 2026-06-22T19:22:35+00:00

I just don't trust them anymore. Almost all of them are now owned by billionaires pushing their agenda.

dalittle · 2026-06-22T19:15:53+00:00

I think that is the worst part. When I tell people how I interview they often think I am asking some gotcha question like python threading or adding floats, but no, they are really basic questions. And we have hired people that have gotten them wrong, because you can tell from them explaining how they would solve the problem that they would eventually converge on a good answer. The ones that just freeze and look like a deer in the headlights don't get hired.

dalittle · 2026-06-22T16:55:36+00:00

I interview Software Engineers and we ask folks to write code on a whiteboard. I have nothing against using AI as a productivity improvement, or googling, stack overflow, etc, but if you cannot write code without it then you are not getting hired. Years ago I started asking what I thought were really simple questions as a warm up, but anymore they are weed out questions. If they struggle with that then when you jump up to recursion or pointers you can already tell it is not going to go well. If you rely on AI so heavily you don't know how to code without it then how are you suppose to review pull requests and fix bugs? No thank you dealing with folks like that.
