sus_007··on Most programmers don't know what Expect can do for them
I'm a total stranger to the Tcl universe, but I'm curious what does happen if a programmer names a file "test" ? Some kind of conflict, bug, error ?
sus_007··on Most programmers don't know what Expect can do for them
TIL, Tcl is pronounced as Tickle, but not Tee-see-el.

BTW, he's back on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDhrtgAGXyecXofKYBNpRqA
sus_007··on The Linux kernel's inability to gracefully handle low memory pressure
Almost every other laptop comes with an empty RAM slot nowadays, I bet you can plug in an extra few gigs into it.
sus_007··on ‘Just four dudes’: Inside EasyList, a community-run ad-blocking list
I got similar vibes going through the article and after finding out that they are actually a Ad-centric company, I am almost sure you're right.
sus_007··on No CS Degree – Interviews with self-taught developers
So you're saying a highly motivated individual with an access to World Wide Web and physical textbooks can't teach him/herself to optimize "Twitch's video codec" or any low-level problems on their own ?

sus_007··on Former Fortnite UX lead digs into ethical game design
> But that's not addiction! That's just managing time so kids can do a lot of [other] things. The problem with Fortnite and many games is this is where they have their social life. And they meet with friends and they play with friends. They hang out and are creative. It's not like they're mindlessly shooting, they do a lot of other things.

This statement just sounds very wrong. Why are they glorifying virtual platforms as a common social gathering ? Having tried the game myself, I don't see anything creative with it - building scientifically impossible structures to jump/hide from enemies to begin with. Alas, it's indeed "mindless shooting" and showing off expensive in-game virtual purchases.

Wow, I didn't know these resources existed. It's gonna help me a lot as I'm on a similar journey as the OP. Thank you very much, sn9
