highstep | 3 years ago | on: I cut GTA Online loading times (2021)
the load times were soooooo bad. Insultingly bad. It doesnt seem like you understand the true extent to how horrible rockstar managed this issue. I definitely quit playing for exactly this reason, even at the expense of spending less time with a good friend who i played with. Rockstar is a garbage disrespectful company for allowing this to go on for so long.

appending "wiki" is also really useful if you're looking for straight facts
highstep | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Is it just me or do 99% of SWE jobs offers seem completely pointless?
I got lucky and stumbled upon a company that sells an inovative and effective service that has potential to improve humanity. The fact that the companies success is aligned with human success is a huge motivator to get up and work 8 hours each day. However even with the money being decent, and the HR policies and benefits being amazing, i still struggle with the 40 hour grind. I can't imagine finding a better company to work for; I can only concluded that a fulltime job work will never "feel right". I think 20 or 30 hours would be much more ideal, as it would afford me more time to focus on life/family/nature/body/community/learning/creativity

meat production and processung in the "developed" world isnt much better. in fact this might even be better because those cattle probably weren't raised in factory style density

is it laziness or just unwillingness to suffer the pain that comes from loading a modern day website monstrosity (cookie popup, newsletter popup, autoplay video, moving content, accidentally ad clicks)

for some perspective, i went to school in ontario from 1986-2004 and never heard a single word about residential school.
I think its safe to say that canada is only starting out on this journey of reconciliation. Its going to take decades of work and focus to right these wrongs.

I also have found the same success. The more i lean into supporting insect diversity the more prolific my garden becomes. Do you have any tips for supporting wasps? I make sure to have water available for them at all times.

Most family members can learn to not disurb -- but I do agree that young children are a problem.
Call quality is easy to solve with decent hardware, a quiet office and proper muting (I see this work all the time with 10 to 100 person meetings.)
