Niche proud moment: got feedback that my dagster setup in this codebase is good enough to make a coworker release some held doubt about our usage of bazel

@basilYam sit and meditate on meaning and presentation while the endorphins course for possibly hours (in the tattoo case) very powerful feedback loop, a little dangerous 😅

i recognize why people get piercings and tattoos, i got a piercing once and it put me into an altered state. i felt high, i felt like everything was more intense and also less important. the pain brought me out of my life and into something different and i liked that at the time

@gptbrooke So many quotation marks. Some good visual imagery, kind of interesting to contemplate what makes this different from other attendee substacks. (He should gone gonzo and tried the screaming)

Cosmic joke lmao I don’t drink very often, and am usually pretty draconian about my sleep schedule Of course The Article drops when I’d been awake for more than 24 hours flying across an ocean and at the tail end of a very fun 12 hours at a bar + afters

@cinnibop @hyperdiscogirl Some of the messages in the IT channel, I see you and REALLY hope someone else is picking this up (Obligatory I'm software not IT but the bug reports don't understand the distinction)

@_exoconnor @hyperdiscogirl Those wide eyes tho, they look terrified

bruh i just realized people are using the 👀 emoji react on slack to mean "I am looking into this matter" I've been using it for over a year at my job just to mean like whoa

@liminal_warmth Gorgeous, keeps hitting me with some rough reads but I don't disagree with the diagnosis 🫠

@_exoconnor It’s a lovely deck

Hi old friends. I'm happily boring these days, but if you reply and ask for one, I'll pull a quick tarot card for you.

@nosilverv hey now there's also "LA restaurant that marks some point in their acting career"

There’s this show called My Last Meal and it's basically just Americans but, really, Americans should be banned from it. Every answer is like “McDonald’s fries, a Dr Pepper and this corn-syrup slurry discontinued in 2007.”

I got a bit tangled in the lines of tension we were holding. If the hands are revealed then I can move on. Skill issue sure but bonus I'll be less weird if we explicitly end what never started.

I've "confessed" feelings a few times, the first couple maybe I thought it could lead to something but over time it's evolved into a more sacramental letting go.

@sanjehorah I think anxious w/avoidant just triggers more discourse, I love my fellow avoidants but the failure mode is that nothing happens, we feel sad about it, then go off to private corners to process

i know avoidants and anxious are supposed to be drawn towards each other. but even though i'm avoidant i strongly prefer the company of other avoidants. i prefer when someone triggers my anxious instincts more than my avoidant instincts. i'd rather be nervous and handwring than try to crawl out of my skin in disgust. we can just chill and vaguely affirm positive affect towards each other without the nasty socioemotional obligations of intimacy. we want care and loyalty and acts of service and time spent together and NOT pokey psychodrama or presumptuous knowings. i don't know you you don't know me that's fine we love like that.

@myles_snider gerolsteiner haven't tried the others but it leaves nothing to be desired

Conducting research. Please weigh in.

@basilYam Usually I'm more worried about the energy moving within being percieved too clearly causing me problems. Holding a boundary at the perceptual surface.

What do you guys think “masking” means? I personally use it to mean “I try not to make my emotions other people’s problem”

@Ruesavatar Have you seen About Time? Reminds me of that.

If I had it to do all over again I would always choose the exact same path to get me back to my babies. They’re not hypothetical like all the others, they’re real. I would get my heart broken on an endless loop just to be their mom every time. People are so dumb.

I don’t like making friends on here anymore. It is going well then suddenly their ego gets the better of them whilst I am praising my children, and they insinuate that my children aren’t worth “the price” of my ex cheating on me. There is no price I wouldn’t pay for them actually

@cauliflwr_human stop making it ask to use curl for sure (...I should probably loosen that restriction anyways it's a polite fiction of prudence)

if you had unlimited Fable but only through the Anthropic batch API (let's say an hour for an individual request to return), what would you do with it and how would you orchestrate it?

saw some lovely places pass by before it sunk in that oh yeah, this is a nature documentary

gave notice to the landlord, moving in August, 2 days after coming back from the Eclipse PORTAL CHAOS MONTH

@Ruesavatar it's our closest thing to summer! but you still want to keep a jacket on hand - foggy windy is always waiting to catch you underdressed

I cannot recall what September/October is like in San Francisco. I am trying to plan my lewks and do some shopping, but I honestly have no idea what weather I am packing for. Who even am I anymore?!? 😭

@onehappyfellow binary search but you stand outside the shower until you have bounds on the range of pain

control theory exercise: you control shower mixer tap and measure output water temperature. there's unknown lag between turning the tap and temperature changing. how do you achieve target temperature? you want to do it fast but there's also T_crit you can't ever exceed.

@justalexoki 2 years this month 🫠

just now learning it may even be up to a year for some.. insane
