  • “Oven is going to be a grind, especially the first nine months or so. If work-life balance means a lot of time spent not working, it’s probably not a good fit.”

    Oh man, someone here recently shared a blog post on startup culture in software companies, which likened software to an oven, where you’d add a specific button for a customer and that fucks up your whole architecture for years to come etc…

    For just a moment, I thought this was a direct quote from that blog post.

    It did often feel like Nintendo specifically went for weird and quirky hardware to hinder emulation. The Wii had motion controls, the Wii U existed, and well, with the Switch, I’m sure their first-party titles still make use of things you can specifically do with the JoyCons…


  • A few years ago, we had school kids in the company for a week-long internship.
    And on one of those days, I was doing hardware tests for a software we wrote, and a colleague, who was taking care of one of the kids, he saw me and spontaneously asked, if I could explain to the kid what I’m doing.

    And the thing is, the colleague didn’t know me or my project, so he loved my infodump. He asked tons of clarifying questions, including questions that went way over the kid’s head.

    Meanwhile, the kid did not say a single word during my infodump. You could tell his mental capacity was reached long before we talked and then came my 20-minute-long deluge of information. I do hope that the kid took away at least an impression, but it just did not seem like my words even entered his ears.

    And yep, pretty much that look on his face. Like a deer staring into the headlights before it’s hit by a truckload of information.





  • So, I don’t know actors and when I saw this, I thought “Which side is Harbour/Ryder and which side is Joe/Natalia?”.

    Then I realized the photos on the left are grayscale, so presumably those are the older pictures.
    …so that’s gotta be Joe and Natalia then.

    Nope.

    At this point, I’m glad that I didn’t mix them up top-to-bottom…

    It’s mostly bitter with a slight hotness and a herbal touch. “Dry” is also a really good adjective for it IMHO.

    Source: I just ate half a teaspoon of turmeric. 10/10 would not recommend.

    I guess, I should also add that you really don’t need a lot of turmeric to color things yellow, so the flavor isn’t that big of a deal here.
