A 1/2 lb is bigger than 1/3 lb; what are you on? Did you mis-state something?

Sounds to me like she was potentially jealous that you knew who you were, didn’t hide your thoughts and feelings, and her being insecure herself interpreted that as you acting like you were someone you aren’t. Your description comes off a lot like she was projecting. She probably has a lot of insecurities and feels like, herself in your shoes, she would have to act arrogant and haughty in order to mask her own insecurities to present herself similarly to how you present yourself.

Is 1pm an exaggeration or am I unintentionally rude even though I’m trying to be respectful? I don’t do anything to make noise like mowing, running my chainsaw, etc until after 11am. I used to start up late and sleep in until I had kids (wish I still could) so even though I’m up by at least 6am I find other stuff to do until at least 11 . Nobody has complained but I don’t think I would have complained myself.

I think Woz is the last tech idol I’ve had.

I appreciate you sharing your interpretation and I agree. The sciences are even worse. If we hire a service we have my wife handle the first conversation while I stay in another room to ensure we don’t hire anyone that is openly misogynistic. I couldn’t even begin to count how many people we’ve turned away due to some variation of “can I talk to your husband”.

I had a colleague that is legally blind in my second real job. The dude is brilliant (and hilarious) but these things would significantly enable or screw up his productivity. I have always felt fortunate to have had direct butt in seat exposure to the importance of accessibility at such a young age.

Not really, says Australia has a good system and 45 countries at least partially do it already. The IRS will be testing a free online tool amongst a small group of filers in 2024 but none in the information will be pre populated due to limited scope of the project. He seems nice but talks really slow, rehashes content repeatedly and doesn’t even provide an answer or any kind of analysis. At the end he briefly wonders if TurboTax lobbying Congress impede progress…no shit.

He never really addressed anything in the video, it’s honestly impressive.

The only similar issue I faced seemed to be due to multithreading. I don’t know enough about the underlying architecture to point my finger at a specific ‘thing’ but I was beating my head against the wall seeing the same 50% drop in performance. The one way I was able to get comparable performance was if I limited the cores on the machine to 1. Windows was only a couple percent slower in that case. When I upped the cores windows couldn’t keep up. The weird part is that the utilization in task manager looked like all the cores were being utilized but the performance certainly didn’t reflect that. I was finally able to get the program manager off my ass but how they handled the situation really soured me on staying with the company so I left, feel bad for the next person to get hit with “get this application off Linux so we can be a 100% windows client shop” garbage.

They contracted the companies developers at over 600k for six months of support, I was dedicated to the effort for a year, and the CIO apparently instructed a PM that nothing else mattered and if it didn’t work I was personally responsible. Like MFers, I didn’t design the hardware, operating system, or the application, I’m doing everything I know how, how exactly is this shit my fault?!

What do you want him to do, start a bird college?

I used to dream about getting a fiero and kitting it up in my early twenties. Seemed like such a cool project and achievable way to get something my broke ass could never obtain otherwise.

I grew out of that phase but it still doesn’t sit right with me to shit on someone else that might have lived out that dream. I hope the dudes happy and enjoying life more than anyone who has the real thing.
