I love when the key to solving a math problem turns out to be something you half remember from 6 months ago when you were reading the documentation of some software noone uses. Maybe it's just because I've read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, but it does make me feel a bit like a wizard.

So far my career options, ranked:

Mathematician (obvious)

Lawyer (go to law school instead of math grad school)

Pilot (planes cool also uniform)

Nuclear engineer (work on nuclear power plants)

Politician is somewhere there but thats not a job in itself imo

#i also get told id make a decent lawyer #probably because of my love for arguing and loose morality #so its probably not a compliment

dude the dwarf fortress devs are awesome, tbh. its extremely refreshing to see normal people get rewarded for their efforts as a result of catering to niche audiences

Which lettuce? I've got one that's like really small rotting away in my fridge

ok so math problem , let's say you have a box that is exactly big enough to hold one head of lettuce no more no less it is exactly big enough to hold exactly one head of lettuce and nothing more

okay so how many lettuce head can fit in the box show your work and no calculatorsI'll know if you use a calculator

The constant rolling disaster that is Overwatch's game development aside, what really perplexes me about how Blizzard is handling the broader franchise is their continual insistence that a canon narrative exists in spite of their equally continual refusal to tell anyone what it is.

Like, okay, the events of the games aren't canon. Fair enough: the games are multiplayer-only, and you can't account for player actions.

Oh, and the animated short films aren't canon either – they're properly understood as in-universe propaganda, not depictions of actual events. That's a little high concept for you guys, but fine.

But surely the comics are canon, right? Well, no; some of the comics (we're not telling you which ones) were canon at one point, but the writing team has decided to go in a different direction.

My dudes, what is left? The weird Source Filmmaker porn? Is that canon? Well, apparently it's at least as canon as anything else!

#i think i ve watched more overwatch porn than i have interacted with it in any other way #im probably in the majority too

a funny thing about game development is your game can have hundreds of thousands of eyeballs on it playing it daily and yet once in a while someone messages you like "hey it seems you inadvertently gave these 2 upgrades the same flavor text" and that's the first person to bring it to your attention in the 6 years it's been in the game

#as a player sometimes you just notice these things and go “we both have more important things to do”

an AAAAA game can't just be "game we put a lot of money into", that's not enough to kick it into the next bracket. the development needs to be on the level of medieval cathedrals: spanning multiple generations and involving hundreds of accidental deaths

#no deaths so far but dwarf fortress has been in development for like 20 years now #me and the lads are considering whether it would be best to clone the brothers or just make immortal #neither seems easy so far but we're working on it

Quick question, I keep seeing tiktoks about college students doing this so I gotta ask

Personally I never pulled an all nighter when I was a student, I honestly thought it was a movie thing and not something students do.
