dqft··on Clean Code vs. A Philosophy Of Software Design
I don't understand how that works on people. Dog whistling, "Hey, hey, leave me to my grift."

Now add Tether into the equation. RIP Nikolai Mushegian.

Spot on for this guy.

dqft··on Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI "Sky" voice
(AI)tman tries to be, (Bank)man fried to be, who is letting Kojima name all these villians?

I made this. I made this.

dqft··on 'Sell Apple'
The ownership of the stock itself is a luxury experience. Maybe in the future you must own the assets for the opportunity, like an aspiring exotic factory Ferrari customer. I am sure some bored apes could get into something like that.
dqft··on Show HN: The classic Minesweeper on an irregular grid
Try recursive grids https://ataraxia-mechanica.itch.io/infinisweeper
dqft··on Programs are games, programming is a game
You can't say this and not mention Factorio. Software engineering at the limit is just like industrial engineering except you work with bits. You need to be aware of your pipelines and timelines to ensure maximum throughput.

To run with the metaphor further, you could call it a kind of instrumental play, which is the type of play where it is actually socially rude to have consistent low performance. https://www.academia.edu/34821396/Instrumental_Play

dqft··on Project Management Software Can't Save You
Part 1 of the 2 part Senior capstone project for the software engineering program I attended required students to create a a full project management suite of Gantt charts, UML diagrams, etc and approval from your advisor before continuing with actually building software in part 2. Naturally, I built the software package, then wrote my charts, and the 2nd semester did nothing. It was a complete joke.
dqft··on Males took over a women in tech career conference by registering as non-binary
First clip of the video: "They were there purely for the career fair." Just a few posts down they claim there was no recruitment and then invokes Ada Lovelace's existence like it means anything. The OP adds and removes facts from every new post just like the people attending the fair do with their declared gender and a dumb thing gets even dumber. Generates those X analytics though I'm sure.
dqft··on When I stopped trying to self-optimize, I got better
I see that art at the top of the page and I reflexively close the window.
dqft··on Cory Doctorow talks fighting Enshittification at DEF CON 31

I prefer the minimalist WebG approach.
dqft··on Introduction to Defensive CSS
Defensive as in defensive driving, I assume, which would also be better described as thoughtful, intentional, and correct driving. The metaphor follows for me.
dqft··on Ask HN: Is it just me or GPT-4's quality has significantly deteriorated lately?
LOL
dqft··on Double-screen ‘free’ TV will show you ads, even when not in use
I feel like it would be bad luck to invest in someone named Pozin. But if you get in and out early, good for you?
dqft··on FUTO – An independent software lab and grant fund
IT IS ARGUABLY (ACTUALLY) EVEN CLOSER TO "FUTA". Maybe they are upset with Teaching Assistance?
