Tao332··on Tell HN: Job interview canceled due to looming recession
Then don't put it on your resume!
Tao332··on Tell HN: Job interview canceled due to looming recession
> For anyone reading your resume in the future

Then don't list it.

Tao332··on Tether Withdrawals Top $10B
It's not resilient. It's worthless. The same grift keeps working on bigger fools and it hasn't been outlawed yet. Ergo, it stays and cycles from one catastrophe to the next.

> if this was USD we would be at WW10 and two October revolutions by now

This is the farthest reach I've ever seen someone make to state a positive about crypto.

It's technically black, but the font weight is ultra ultra light.
Tao332··on Oblique Strategies
Mechanically it's the same as divination. It just has all the superstition and pretenses of the supernatural stripped away. E.g. I don't think there's anything magical about the I Ching, but it can be a useful way to consider a situation from an angle you wouldn't normally choose.
Tao332··on Pedal Me bans staff riders from wearing helmets for safety reasons
> I feel like it's going to be more severe if I don't have a helmet on.

Without the helmet you die on the road. With the helmet you die at the hospital.

Tao332··on Why is the nuclear power industry stagnant?
I can't find anything about race in there.
Tao332··on Why is the nuclear power industry stagnant?
Haha. Flagged? I really wanted to know more about the racial motivation behind burying nuclear waste! Guess it's a sensitive topic around here.
Tao332··on LWN Is Now on Mastodon
Reminds me of Hideki Matsui's porn library. "Oh yeah, I've got tons of it! Wanna see?" American journalists: knuckles are practically bleeding from the intensity of the pearl clutching
Tao332··on We’re discontinuing the Stablegains service
$3B of Bitcoin was transferred, no one knows what happened to it, and in the same week, lots of Bitcoin was being sold off. Hmm...
Tao332··on We’re discontinuing the Stablegains service
That's not an ad hominem.

The circular relationship between Terra and Luna is really fishy. It's probably not really a scam today, but similarly structured schemes should probably be classified as such and criminalized in the future.

Tao332··on We’re discontinuing the Stablegains service
> Terraform has $3B (ish, stores as Bitcoin) that they could use to try to buy back faith in their coin.

Had. It's gone.

> They have a long road ahead of them to shake off the association of being a haven for CSAM and alt-right holdouts.

Considering the first time I even heard that was this very comment, I'd say they're doing pretty well on that front. Basically every nook and cranny of the Internet has had to shake similar associations at some point.

Tao332··on Generative art using C++ printer commands and a receipt printer
He'd better stop that thing, it's almost as big as a CVS receipt.
Tao332··on Lavender's Game: Silexan for Anxiety
I saw it recently used in the cocktail being administered by an anesthesiologist during surgery. It seems to have a use in staving off hypotension during that sort of thing.

Is it a nasal decongestant? Hell no.

Tao332··on Tether Required Recapitalization in May 2022
Genuinely curious: why do people need that?
Tao332··on The Coming Food Catastrophe
- Accusing a user of using a slur

- Getting snarky because they did the reasonable thing and got rid of the slur after it was pointed out

- Calling said user a dick. If Karen is a misogynistic slur, How is dick not moreso misandristic? I realize you said "dick move", but that's functionally the same. Saying something was a "c?nt move" or a "n????r move" would be tantamount to calling someone a c?nt or n????r.

- Because maybe it made your comment "look stupid"

Jawdropping desecration of the guidelines. You need a vacation.

Tao332··on The Coming Food Catastrophe
Obviously regulations vary across counties and municipalities, but when/where I lived in PA, the zoning rules spelled it out pretty clearly that hens were fine but roosters weren't.
Tao332··on The Coming Food Catastrophe
Sorry, "passive-aggressive stealth edit"? You got what you wanted. They took out the mean word. Don't get pissy about it and start gaslighting people.
Tao332··on The Coming Food Catastrophe
I will probably burn more calories making corn happen in my yard then I'll get from the corn, and it'll just be shitty empty carbs.
Tao332··on I'm an addict
> For any bit of resentment about how the world has treated you, pouring yourself into someone else can at least give the solace that for them they will not suffer as much as you have

Personally, I'm shocked at how just having kids has healed a lot of my held resentment. I used to look back at moments in my life that I wished had gone differently. Now I see that if you gave me a time machine and the chance to go back and change how I responded, I can't do it because I'd be erasing my kids.

I wouldn't even be able to stop the covid pandemic, selfish as that may be.

Tao332··on Outhorse Your Email
I'm running this to its ridiculous extreme. I'm imagining a keyboard layout that has duplicate keys matching letter frequency. The keyboard has to have 56 Es just to be allowed a Q. About 35 or so Ts. Etc.

The odds favor you getting the key you want, so it's best to not even look.

Tao332··on Inkscape 1.2 released
Maybe we have different salt. In my regional vernacular, "salty" means something you did or didn't do is making you look like a fool.

This is usually accompanied by someone eagerly pointing out "Don't you feel salty!"

I've seen that use rising among cryptobros lately, specifically to deflect critics as secretly jealous that they missed out on something. I'll allow it as long as they don't co-opt jawn as well.

Tao332··on King George and Tsar Nicolas Looked a Lot Alike
> they look less like twins

I've met twins that looked less alike than those cousins do.

> salty

I don't think that means what you think it means.

Tao332··on Inkscape 1.2 released
This makes me chuckle a little because Inkscape is the refinement! There used to be windows all over the place when it was still sodipodi.

My understanding is that in this particular case, it's built in a very modular way. E.g. it uses an embedded version of potrace to do autotracing. It's hard to make a good and consistent UI when you're unifying so many pieces.

Tao332··on Ask HN: Why are people in real life so different?
I mostly mean things that don't have sides: like stalking behavior, death threats, flagrant proud racism, harassing victims of tragedy, etc.
