it's pretty pathetic how risk averse we've become, and what did we get for it? we're much less competent now than before, there was nothing gained from becoming a bunch of fucking pussies

there have been periods of my life where it seemed like every door opened for me and periods where every door I tried was firmly shut
I worked hard in both cases but I worked *harder* when nothing was paying off. "I just need to get through this week" for about 8 years straight. I'm finally getting things back on track but it wasn't hard work that did it. it was because I happened to see a few doors open and leapt through them before they could slam shut again
this is why I sneer at the idea that all you need to do is show up on time with clean shoes or whatever horseshit people who've never experienced hard times say

my industrial mini x86 computer came and this thing is crazy
it's passively cooled so the base is this high quality aluminum part milled from ~3/4" plate, with pockets for the motherboard stack to sit in. the case cover is fairly thick aluminum sheet construction with nicely countersunk screw holes
the motherboard is a multi-board stack; I can't tell if there are two or three boards because I don't want to pull the second board out. the CPU and RAM have to be underneath it or possibly on a third board; I assume they are thermally bonded to the aluminum base somehow
the serial and VGA ports are bolted to the case face plate instead of just passing through, so that adds a lot of mechanical strength in case a cable gets jerked
there's just really great attention to detail in the design of the whole package
I don't even care if this thing works, for the price I paid just taking it apart and looking at it was worth it. but it is supposed to be functional

I'm sure it would have, but it's long past time for dynamic linking to get the old yeller treatment
aside from the fact that package management is a nightmare that nobody is good at, the security argument goes in the other direction too. supply chain attacks enable compromising absolutely everything instead of only new builds
however I don't care very much about dynamic linking because I think the OS paradigm we use should also be put down. hardware is not expensive anymore but the mantra is still "maximize the use of hardware". why do I care if a $5 hardware slice is only used for email and sits idle 23 hours 55 minutes a day? it was $5

I fully believe in the supernatural, I don't pretend I can explain exactly what I've seen/heard/felt but I've experienced too much weird stuff over the years. there's an awful lot science can't explain, and I say that as a former scientist and current engineer
I'm confident demons exist, whatever they really are, and I think modern people are particularly vulnerable to them because Science says demons aren't real

foggy as hell
animals were really active, literally almost walked into several deer in the dark, almost stepped on a rabbit that ran away at the last second. I've never seen so many animals out this time of night
turned around and went the other direction after about the sixth deer and kept hearing this weird sound like a bicycle freewheeling behind me, but I was the only one around
then a baby or something that sounded just like a baby started crying really loud somewhere ahead of me, and just kept going for several minutes as I was walking toward it
...and then I decided to just go home. the baby crying was still going until I was out of earshot
no thank you very much

a talking point I hear a lot lately is how "backward" it is to pay an engineer a lot more money than a landscaper or whatever, because the engineer works indoors at a computer and the landscaper is working hard in the blazing sun
so I think we should switch it up. have the landscaper design bridges for awhile, and the engineer can fix his weak core and back problems doing some honest work outdoors. what could go wrong?

yes, they would rather hire kebab merchants than competent white engineers in america
there have been explicit "hire anyone but white men" campaigns in all of the major tech companies in america for the last 10 years. they don't say it exactly like that but they don't hide what they're doing either. there are financial incentives to increase the "diversity" of their companies, which means getting rid of white and east asian men

my best conjecture is all these businesses outsourced their recruiting pipeline to third parties and those third parties are just blocking 95% of applications from ever reaching the businesses, either through incompetence (idiotic requirements) or malice (filtering out white men)

I got the "nobody wants to work" spiel secondhand from a family member last night; apparently one of my cousins can't find employees for her business, to the point that she is keeping a guy on that she wants to fire for stealing because she can't replace him
I didn't talk to her directly but the claim is her employees can be making $150k in a few years and she's willing to train. there are probably tens of thousands of good people in her area who would jump on such an opportunity, so there's a huge disconnect here, and there has to be something fundamentally wrong with her hiring process

if you drew an accurate portrait of this guy you would probably be charged with a hate crime

that's really obviously some kind of submunition payload, nothing else makes those kinds of rapid crackling explosions

gonna be a lot more complicated than that, and it's dangerous
