@gynvael To me you are still the guy that impressed me for life by modifying the AI script of guards in Ultima Online to honor you as a GM on Samlis’ shard. That and the proxy you wrote for UO was what got me into serious coding.

Google has cast their vote 😆 Yesterday I requested the change on my card from "YouTuber" (not untrue, but a wierd choice) to "Cybersecurity Researcher".
They changed it to "Hacker" ♥️

Gynvael Coldwind@gynvael
"Hacker", as we in the bizz know well, carries different meanings for different people, and this can cause hilarious misunderstandings. Yesterday, the Polish TV network TVN aired the second part of an ongoing documentary about issues in NEWAG trains that were analyzed by Dragon Sector. [...] gynvael.coldwind.pl/?id=799

I just submitted my letter of resignation as Chairman of the @CFTC to President Trump. It has been an honor to serve our country and the CFTC under President Biden.

@svpino @Sarinafull So suddenly development is not a creative job? Idiots who are overemployed and don’t deliver should absolutely be fired. But it’s none of your business if your employee works 3-4 jobs as long as he can deliver on what you expect him to do it is fine.
English

@Sarinafull I think this gets really hard if you plan on putting 8 hours across several jobs.
Creative jobs are different. The time you spend is not related to the quality of your output, so overemployment is easier to do.

I fired somebody cheating. He was working two jobs.
The guy had a great interview with me. He was sharp, and I was happy to hire him.
Two weeks later, I started noticing the red flags.
He joined our meetings but never turned his camera on. He would always ask to repeat the questions. He was cagey. I met with him twice and felt he should have been farther along.
Around that time, I stumbled upon the idea of overemployment. A whole movement dedicated to helping people work several full-time jobs at once.
Feel free to google "overemployed." It's wild!
I got suspicious. Since the guy had recently joined the team, I asked him for a reference from his previous job. I told him he shouldn't worry about it; it was a routine due diligence.
His answer sealed the deal for me. He got defensive and asked me to meet so he could clear up any issues with his performance. His reaction came from left field.
He promised to share with me some references by the end of the day. He didn't. I asked again, and he said the next morning. He also "forgot."
I confronted him one last time, and he came clean.
Turns out he never quit his previous job. He was still working full-time for them. And for me. By the looks of it, we were getting the short end of the stick.
I asked for his resignation. We had him on the payroll for about three weeks.
I felt cheated. I didn't care about the money, but I had to start looking for someone else. I had rejected many good candidates to hire this guy.
I went on Reddit, and there are thousands of people doing this. Some of them work three and four full-time jobs!
This was a painful experience, but I don't blame people working for more than one company at once.
Can somebody do more than one job well?
Many people discard it because you should work 8 hours, but creative jobs are different. The quality of your output is independent of the time you dedicate.
I would have fired the guy even if he didn't have another job. But would I have cared if he was good? Certainly not.
Assuming you are good at what you do, would it be unethical to work for two different companies?

@Dig_A_Hash_Kid @ID_AA_Carmack There’s still a vibrant online community. Go to nquake.com and download the client and game files!

@ID_AA_Carmack Quake 1 with Nine Inch Nails Sound Track is really hard to beat, I don't think I have ever seen it's equal.
I played that game so many times with friends, I still know every inch of some of those maps!

Last night I downloaded Quake III Arena on Steam. I always looked back at it as my favorite Id game, but it had been many years since I had actually played it. There are a few polish things that I would nitpick today, but it was like dropping a quarter in a classic arcade game.
I played through the first couple tiers against the bots with a smile on my face. Yeah, I’m still proud of this game.
It is laudable that the PC ecosystem lets you easily go play a game from 1999 and everything Just Works.

@ChamathWarriors @ryancohen @DavidSacks Hey Chamath. You’re a dummy. Can you explain the pump & dump please? Save some credibility that way, punk.

@ryancohen @DavidSacks Not as good as the return on your $BBBY pump and dump

@psybercity @aegeanairlines Have had *G with them since 2014. Love the airline, love their program (it used to take as little as 2 flights from EU to NA to qualify for gold from scratch 😂 - old Star Alliance trick). Thanks to them tho I fell in love with Greece and went there almost every year ever since.

@spangen13 @redchessqueen99 @pwnwtfbbq That’ll be her pile of excuses for never hitting any of her promised dates, you mean? Her DD is just full of it. At least she got the attention she needed.
