@chadloder What is the centrist term that sits between Good and Evil?
(Asking for Eloon.)
@mcc @lchski @eaton oh and, I always try to keep everything common by using Zulu time in code and conversation.
But this is often followed by:
What is that time - wait what? Oh…
Or
Zulu?
Yes Z… UTC… GMT… 0 hour offset timezone…
UK time?
Yes, but no, they’re on daylight savings so no.
Okay what do I subtract/add… …
@mcc @lchski @eaton DATE MATH with global orgs using days of the week or relative descriptors.
Never say things like “Wednesday”, or tonight or tomorrow morning. There will be silence followed by
“Your Wednesday?” “Later this morning or my evening when you start your tomorrow which is my today?” “What time is it there? … is that am or pm?”
Or “You’ve book that for 3am on my weekend”
And “ah damn, the server has fallen over and everyone has gone to bed”

So here's the thing. You can only violate people's legal rights and your own word so far before they lawyer up and come after you.
I really do hope Musk changes his mind and does the right thing - the employees deserve that. But it'll be fun as hell if he doesn't.

About one year of every #systems PhD is dedicated to learning -- the hard way -- to enable TCP_NODELAY.
After a couple notable incidents of this, I wrote "IT'S ALWAYS THE NAGLE ALGORITHM" in large letters on the UW systems lab's whiteboard to serve as a warning to others.
#chatgpt is helping me update this warning for a modern audience. Or a 19th-century one.

Human chess: https://humanchess.abcd.party/ chess variant where playing the top engine move is forbidden.
"Players can claim their opponent’s last move was a top engine move.
Claims are settled by engine evaluation of the position. If opponent’s move matches the top engine move, the claimant wins the game - if not, they immediately loose.
Checkmating loses the game, (always top engine move). Instead, players seek to force their opponent to make a top engine move. "

The navigation cameras on the Mars Curiosity Rover never fail to deliver a beautiful scene. I commanded these on Monday, they executed on Tuesday, and we get to enjoy them on Wednesday ☺️
