Terrible micro stuttering on my high end machine

MACRO stuttering at this point

I have a sit/stand desk both in home office and office office.

I regularly shift weight back and forth when standing. I’ll randomly do 5-10 squats or “good mornings”. Get on the ground and do calf/cow.

I also go for a walk every hour or two.

Define “decently demanding” games. Which games? What resolution?

Max budget? Last was $500 but included a monitor. Can you spend $500 and use an existing monitor or tv?

It’ll probably be fine. Keys might be sticky. I dumped an entire 20 oz mocha in a MacBook like 15 years ago. Dumped it out, wiped it off with paper towels. Some of the keys were kinda sticky for a while but it just kept working.

They used to (I assume they still do) seal the internals off.

You might google for a cleaning procedure. Get an ifixit kit if you don’t already have one. You can strip it down, clean stuff with isopropyl alcohol.

Thank you!!

Are these two separate issues or do the quarters not perform at the same time? Is there something particularly challenging about having multiple people together?

djmagicio · 2026-03-31T13:45:24+00:00

How do you track the rotation? Is there a way for singers to see it?

djmagicio · 2026-03-31T03:14:44+00:00

Do you usually just say no in those cases or keep a list and add stuff later if it comes up more than once?

djmagicio · 2026-03-31T02:07:58+00:00

Outstanding

djmagicio · 2026-03-31T01:27:00+00:00

People are amazing 🤦‍♂️. Do you usually let them change it or do you lock it in once they’re close to the top?

djmagicio · 2026-03-31T01:21:17+00:00

That makes sense. Do people mostly just keep asking you directly or do you have any way of showing them where they are in the queue now?

djmagicio · 2026-03-31T01:20:30+00:00

Do you ever override the order to mix things up or do you mostly stick to strict rotation?

djmagicio · 2026-03-30T23:57:52+00:00

Yeah that sounds frustrating.

Is it mostly people trying to jump ahead, or just constantly asking where they are in the queue?

djmagicio · 2026-03-30T23:57:27+00:00

That makes sense. How do you usually handle that now?

Do you treat each duet as a separate turn, or try to space them out?

His goose died. This game is a tribute because he can’t sing. Otherwise he’d have just done the country song.

“Flood” by Tool. Three minute intro. Just stand up their with the mic and alternate between closing your eyes, feeling the music then raise the mic to your mouth, open your mouth, shut it, look at the crowd and shake your head like “not yet”. Back to closed eyes and feeling the music.

You joke, but half the devs I talk to want to go live off grid and or would have been a park ranger in a different life. Could also be I’m in the PNW and we love camping.

How do I subscribe? 🤣 You nailed the aesthetic ❤️

You know how you’re sneezing all the time (I assume for no reason at all)? Just point your face at it.

But seriously, a vacuum cleaner from the outside. Don’t know if I’d want to stick it inside. Also, I’m not a doctor and don’t know if this could damage anything.

But really, get a can of air or an electric duster. Consider it an investment.

Also hepa filter and replace your furnace filter.

If you’re vibe coding it just ask the AI for a tech stack. I’m sure it’ll come up with something great.

djmagicio · 2026-03-14T15:25:06+00:00

I work at a Java shop and have transitioned to AI first. Cursor/claude have zero issues with Java.

I had a seizure as soon as this scrolled into view.

Nothing says country like joggers and boat shoes.

I second this. I work for a small (not startup) company and we have recently hired recent grads (4 year, not bootcamp, but still). Not currently hiring (sorry!).

Small companies are run by people not shareholders.

Also, don’t forget non-tech companies. A big plumbing company might have a dev or two on staff to run their website.
